The subject of quarantine regulations. in

antine regulations should be uniform at all our
ports. Under the Constitution thew are plaiuly
within the exclusive Federal jurisdiction when
and so far az Congress shall legisiate. In nv
opinion the whole subject should be taken into
national control, and adequate power given to
the Executive TO protect our people against
plague invasions On the LIST of September last

day quarantine for all vessels bringing irlmi-
grants from foreign ports. This order viii be
continued in force. Some loss and suffering
have resulted to passengers. but a due care for
the homes OF our people iustifes in such cases
the utmost precaution- There is danger that
with the coming of spring cholera viii again
appear. and liberal appropriation should be
made at this session to enable our quarantine
and port officers to exclnde the deadly plague
But the most careful and stringent quarantine
regulations NAV not be sufficient absolutely To-
exclude the disease. The progress Of medical
and sanitary science has BEEN such, however.
that if approved precautions are taken at once
