EFFICIENT QUARANTINE NEEDED.

The need of efficient quarantine at our
seaports was never more pressing than it
is likely to be for the next twelve months.
With cholera at Paris and Moscow, and
yellow fever raging in Brazil aud perennial
in Cuba, any relaxation in the vigilance of
quarantine regulations may permit fatal
epidemic to gain foothold in this country.
Yet while this need is apparent to every
one, it is fact pointed out by the New
York Herald that the quarantine at that
great port of entry is by no means as
thorough as it should be. The careless
ness is shared by ship surgeons, and both
together present but frail protection to
the country. This joint negligence per-
mitted the infection of typhus fever
to enter that port not very long ago,
and if it did not spread all over
the country, it was not due
to the vigilance of these officials.
More recently an Arabian woman afflicted
with leprosy was brought into the
country, and neither the surgeon of the
steamship company nor the doctors at
quarantine made the discovery which
ought to have protected first the steerage
passengers and then the country from this
contagion.
The quarantine system should be placed
on the basis of absolute efficiency. If it is
not, and an epidemic of cholera or yellow
fever ravages the country, it may
extract what satisfaction it can from
the knowledge that thousands of lives
are sacrificed to running these branches Of
public service on the political basis.

THE MARCH OF PROGRESS.

1t is pleasant to observe enterprise and
and the spirit of improvement in neigh.
boring cities as we'll as in our own. 1t is
therefore subject for enthusiasm not to
say admiration in the original sense that
we discover in recent Baltimore paper
the fact that late events have "revived
the question of a sewerage system for that
city,
The rest of the country should promptly
join in assuring Baltimore of approval
in indulging in the question of
sewerage system, provided the
discussion of the much desired march
of progress docs not drag out an in
terminable length before they actually
begin the work of putting brick and NOR
tar together for the real sewers Official

city of some 100000 people; and
we learn from the Baltimore news.
paper which touches on this point that
she has a few sewers which are simply
noisome conduits. The paper referred to
thinks that this is not all that is required
to meet public requirements and it urges
the revolutionary policy of complete
sewerage system for the whole city.
A swerage system for city of 100000
people! In the language of Gilbert's
jolly curate: Brethren, we should think
SO! Even if Mr.. Gorman's efficient politi-
cal ring should make the people pay four

CHICAGo'S ESPECIAL STRENGTH.

While the people VINO recently gathered
at the convention in Chicago came away
thanking Providence that they do not
have to live there all the year round, it is
worthy of the attention of other cities that
Chicago continues to wax and prosper.
The visitor finds much to revile, but the
fact remains that the city presents rec
ord of commercial growth which no other
city can rival.
1t is subject of profitable study to take
4e objections to Chicago which have been
heard and compare them with her NUM-
cipal achievements. Political delegates
find themselves attacked with more kinds
of weather than they can endure. Dele
gates to another kind of convention are
impressed with the failings of the Chicago
water; the city itself is presenting the as
pect of having got more to do with the
Worlds Fair than it has money for. Yet
with all this Chicago is bustling prosper
Gus, the center of the western trade, and
the object Of comment and praise for her
enterprise the world over.
There is more than ordinary significance
In this contrast between criticism and
commercial achievement Here is a CITY
with an uncertain and unpleasant climate;
located in swamps, so that the drainage
of the city can hardly be separated from her

PENNSYLVANIA NOT ALONE.

The Couer d'Alene mines in far-off
Idaho furnished very fair imitation OF
the Homestead trouble yesterday. There
was lively battle between union and
non-union workmen, in which there were
killed and wounded upon both sides, with
such accompaniments as explosions OF
cars of giant powder and wrecking OF
mines. The non-union men finally sur
rendered, and, though this all occurred in
the wild and woolly West, after the capitu-
lation the defeated ones were carefully
guarded from all harm.
There is another difference in the two
disturbances. Demagogues will hardly at
tempt to make political capital against any
American policy out of the trouble in
Idaho. 1t will be difficult to as
cribe the battle of the miners to
Mckinley and protection. Yet in all its
main features it is almost identical with
the conflict which has so attracted public
attention for the past week.

water supply; prone to promise more than
she can fulfil in public enterprises; with
no inlets to her commerce except what
have been created for her. Yet million
people have been gathered together there
in the prosecution of commercial growth
that is absolutely without parallel. This
is to be explained only by one factor not
yet mentioned, namely, the existence OF
an energetic public spirit and the work OF
enthusiastic civic pride. Chicago repre-
sents those qualities to an extraordinary
degree. Her citizens unite enthusiasm
cally in pushing forward every work for
magnifying the city, and omit no oppor-
tunity of sounding her praises abroad. This
is policy ingrained in Chicago from Its
very inception, and it is the real creator OF
Chicago's greatness.
The application of this fact to other
communities is not hard to perceive. II
Pittsburg had Chicago's public ambition
and civic pride, in addition to her own
natural sources of wealth, we would have
at the head of the Ohio community as
large as two Chicagos put together.

HOW NOT TO DO 1T,

In the theories as to the duties of public
prosecutors, with regard to urging prose-
cutions for the violation of law, inconsis-
tencies are apt to be discovered which pro-
woke a wonder whether the official mind
has not reached the stage of cultivating
the art signalized by Dickens-the art of
GLOW Not To Do It
1t is not very long since a theory was
publicly developed that it is not the duty
of public prosecutors to hunt for evidence
of violations of the law. If people are
troubled by legal proceedings let them
make complaint and furnish the evidence.
Until they do that, the officials of tie law
are justified in maintaining the position
that liquor is not sold illegally, nor disor-
derly houses kept in full blast, nor trusts
organized, nor railroad abuses perpetu-
ated. This theory was announced very
specifically with regard to the duty of
prosecuting trust combinations, and it was
even more prominently made the excuse
for doing nothing with regard to the prev
alence of illegal houses in New York.
While this might raise a question as to
what public officers are paid for, some of
the people in New York accepted it to the
extent of undertaking the work of prose-
cution themselves. They organized socie-
ties for the suppression Of various kinds of
vice, hired lawyers, collected evidence,
and began the prosecutions Whereupon
a change comes over the spirit of the legal
dream. No one but the District Attorney
has right to prosecute these cases, it is
said; and upon taking that question to a
higher court, the last view is sustained.
Justice Lawrence, of the New York Su-
preme Court, said: "I do not see of what
use District Attorney is, if private
society can come into police court and
try to run it. No private society has
the right to appear by counsel on such an
occasion"
If no one but District Attorney can
prosecute case, and the District Attorney
will not do it in the case of certain influ-
ential law-breakers, the public will be apt

SENT BACK TO DIE
A Syrian Woman Leper to BE Returned by
the New York Authorities,

tho New York Authorities.
NEW YORK, July 11.-In q small and dark
room on the steamship Amsterdam, careful
ly secluded, Mrs. Jamna Chadad, a Syrian
woman, aged 35 is in keeping till the vessel,
now lying at its dock at Sixth street, Hobo
ken. shall start on it's homeward passage to
Rotterdam, when she will go with it, the
reason of her enforced return being that DR..
Wheeler, of the Ellis Island stan, has, in
spite OF her passing Quarantine, pronounced
her to be leper.
The Amsterdam reached the port Friday
afternoon last, with over 300 steerage pas
sengers aboard. Health Oficer Jenkins
assistants, Drs. Talmadge and Skinner, gave
Island, however, while the immigrants were
paraded for inspection in single file, the
keen eye of Dr. Wheeler noticed peculiar
reddish scaliness on the face of Mrs. Chadad
as she walked past him with her hands care
fully concealed beneath her shawl. He had
her called back, and it took but a short ex-
animation to convince him that she was a
victim OF leprosy.
Her sister and brother-in-law, who had &C
companied her on the voyage and had eaten
from the same dish with her, were also ex-
amined. but were found to be exempt from
the dread disease. The leprous woman was
as quickly as possible taken back to the
Amsterdam, where she was Immediately
isolated from all.
Dr. Jenkins is disposed to lay the chief
part OF the blame for Mrs. Chadad's getting
by him on the ships surgeon, Drs Hubert,
who neglected to report the woman's con-
dlt1on to the Quarantine authorities.

FRIENDS OF SILVER AT WORK,
But Only Two Republicans Show Up at a

WASHINGTON, July IL The call for q

OF the1ree silver bill" but only two Repub-
licans Blowers, OF California, and Clark. Of
Wyoming,) felt called upon to obey
the summons. There were about so
or so Democrats present, and MI. Dockery,
of Missouri, was In the chair. Mr.. Bland inn
mediately took the floor and ma de an argu-
ment in favor of the bill. In the course Of
the argument he stated that the anti-silver
men would take every possible method to
obstruct silver legislation, and cautioned
the friends of silver to be on their guard.
Representative Culberson, the chairman
OF the Committee on the Judiciary. argued
that the Stewart bill was legally defective
and his speech was listened to with marked
attention. He was ably seconded by MI.
Terry, of Arkansas, who spoke IN the same
vein.
After further DEBATE the caucus agreed to
recommend that the bill be amended in two
particulars; first, by providing that it shall
not affect the legal tender quality of the
Treasury notes issued under the act of 1890,
or the obligation Of the Treasury to redeem
them; and second. that the authority given
to coin bullion now in the Treasury shall not
interfere with the coinage of silver when
presented by private parties. The follow
ing committees were appointed and the
caucus adjourned: On parliamentary pro-
ceedings, Messrs. Bland, Williams. of 1ili-
nois; Pierce Bartine and Culberson; COM
