They Were Guaranteed.

City Attorney r. d. Russell and Dr. George
F. Roberts arrived home yesterday from New
York. Both gentlemen came under the of
hcial inspection of the health department
while there, for they were passengers on the
steamship City of Berlin. which sailed from
Liverpool Aug. "A. AT the time the steam
ship left Liverpool there was no suspicion of
a cholera epidemic in that city, and no pre-
cautions were taken as regards the passengers
other than those necessary for the preserva-
ton of general health When the vessel ar
rived at New York everybody was aston
ished to behold the yellow flag OF danger
waving from the quarantine vessels. The
City of Berlin was ordered in quarantine
with the rest and for time 1t looked as
though the passengers would have TO remain
there for all indefinite period. After an in
spection by the health officers and a subjec-
ton to the disinfection and fumigating proc
ess. the vessel was allowed to proceed TO her
dock, and the passengers landed. Dr. Rob-
erts stated yesterday that the passengers on
the City OF Berlin were all in the best of

The Majors Reliance.

Philadelphia Record.
Mr.. Mckinley sees no possibility of
the Democrats making gains in the
Northwest, because that section is set
tied by people from the Eastern Repub-
lican states, and ''what is bred in the
bone will out in the flesh" In other
words, McKinley'S reliance is that the
people of the Northwest will prove
themselves hide-bound-an Inadvertent
admission that nothing is expected from
them on the score of gratitude to the
party which has given them large crops.
The Democratic reliance is OH their in

COL. wATTERsoN's NEW ISSUE.


Editor WATTERSON has gone off at
another tangent. He deliberately turns
his back Oh politics, horse racing and
the other matters which commonly
occupy the attention of Kentucky
colonel and editor, and takes his pen in
hand on an entirely, not to say radically
different subject. The girl baby is the
subject of his story, and he SAYS,
through the editorial columns of the
Courier-Journal, that 1.-THE man who
committed suicide because his wife
bore him girl instead of boy must
have been hopelessly insane. The girl
baby beats boy baby every time, and
when her pa grows old sha does not
send him to the poorhouse, as the boy
does"
The colonel makes an issue here
which fond parents everywhere will
feel constrained to take up. IL beats
us why he should want to do it. mixed
up as he is in such a multiplicity of
other issues of assorted sizes and de-
Scriptions. But he has done 1t, and he
must take the consequences. He has
shaken red rag at the bull, so to
speak. and he must now either stand a
charge or hustle over the fence IN ire
mendous hurry. Every proud father of a
bouncing boy baby Will he after Col.
WATTERsoN i'll a jiffy. just because
the colonefs experience and tastes run
to girl babies is no reason at all why he

whose preference, natural or cultivated,
is for boy babies. Aud, as matter of
fact. they are both wrong. since the
only proper solution of the question land
the solution which. by the way, most
Kentucky families numerously adopt
is to raise both kinds.
But whether she beats the boy baby
or not, the girl baby-and particularly
The American girl baby-is a worthy
substitute even for that other star-eyed
goddess at whose shrine the Kentucky
editor has SO long and ardently wor-
SHIPPED. In short, she's all right
and she doesn't get over it when she
grows up.
