FIX THE RESPONSIBILITY.

The gloomy prospect at Washington is
thai the attempt TO pass the Silver Pur-
chase Repeal bill uuconditionally in the
Senate will be h failure. The majority
profess u be In favor OF unconditional
repeal. 4 small minority only Is against
repeal. But 1t Is confidently predicted
that the majority will be defeated by the
minority. and that unconditional repeal
will he beaten.
The duty OF pressing the vote until Its
failure IL positively established and the
causes made manifest becomes all the
more imperative in consequence OF this
announcement. II can fan only through
the treachery OF professedly Repeal
Democrats or the factional intrigucs OF
Republicans. who. while declaring them.
selves in favor of protecting the country,
are more DESTROYS OF embarrassing the
Administration.
1t is important that the real ~repcalers
should now compel the sham repcalers
to show themselves in their true colors
that the people may know just where
to fix the responsibility In the event Of
the final defeat OF unconditional repeal.

CHILDREN EXPOSED.
Lally, Ill Of Small-P POI, Sur

OF Central Park.
A Lady's Keen Wit Led to Ds-

on Monday the Board Of Health an
nounCel that n young man named John
I.ally. who lives at Madison and Six
teenth streets, Hoboken, had been picked
up In Central Park III with smallpox
and removed to Riverside Hospital.
To-day It was said at Sanitary Head
quarters that many children and infants
had been exposed to the disease In the
Park. According to the Information
lodged with the authorities, Laliy came
over from Hoboken Monday morning and
went to IA hospital to be examined. lie
was told to come around later in the
day. He went up to Central Park to
pass away the time.
lie took "A seat on n bench standing
In a muCh-frcuuCntcd path, near the
West Drive. There he sat FOR "A couple
of hours calmly reading "A newspaper,
with children swarming all around him.
There were many little ones playing near

refined, middle-aged woman, who hap
pened along and noticed the hlotches on
Ially's face. chief Inspector poty, of
the Bureau of Contagious Diseases, said
to-day Lally was In an advanced stage
OF smallpox and was covered with erup-
tons.
The lady suspected from Lally's ap.
pcaranCc that there was something the
matter with him, and when she saw SC
many little children playing around she
was Mortified. She Immediately decided
what to do, however. She stationed
herself neal the drive and hailed tht
first doctor who came along. who
proved to be Dr. John l.. Dawn, of 81
West Fifty-siXth street. To him sht
told her suspicious, and Or. DAWN left
his carriage and went to where Lally
was sitting.

hunted up n Park policeman and go,
him to telephone to the Health Depart
ment.
Up to this time the nurses. with their
charges and little children. had been al
around the man. DR.. DAWN and the
lady who took 80 much interest In the
case got them away and kept them at d
safe distance until an inspector arrived
from the Health Department II TOOK
Lally away.
DIR. DAWN spoke in the highest terms
to-day of the action taken by the woman
whose identity Is not known. But fol
her Lally might have stayed where hi
was hours longer, exposing to smallpox

Averted Possible Danger.

QUARANTINE. Oct. ii. - Neither
Health Officer Jenkins nor any OF the
other officials here feels the least alarm
over the discovery Of cholera germs in
the meteorological examination of the
steamship Russia's passengers yester-
day. They feel fully satisfied that the
disease cannot spread. II in fact 1t has
moi, already been stamped out.
The fact that no additional cases have
been reported strengthens this hope.
Dr. jenkins had little additional infor-
nation to impart this morning. He had
been up with his assistants the greater
part of the night inspecting the passen.
gers, all Of whom had been transferred
to the islands
DIR. Tallmadge started this morning on
a second tour of inspection. The usual
official bulletin was not given out
until he returned this after
noon. Considering their situation the
passengers do very little growing, and
IN the main seem anxious to help the
health officers all they can The fumigat-
Ing and bathing processes nave been
complete, n all OF them up to the time
the last visit was made seemed remark
ably healthy.
This is the eighth day since the last
case was reported.
DR.. Jenkins this afternoon issued the
following bulletin:
"QuARANTINE. 8. l., Oct. II -l2. so

gers and crew of the steamer Russia was
made this morning. They are all well.

ELEVATED TACTICS.

Judge Dugro yesterday found It neces-
sary to rebuke the Manhattan Elevated
Railroad corporation for its efforts to
prolong and delay litigation and Its re-
fusal to consider propositions for the
speedy disposal OF suits for damages nov
encumbering the courts.
As many as $50 suits are now on the
calendar of the Superior Court. involving
claims for damages against the Elevated
Company. Propositions had been made
by the numerous lawyers engaged In
these suits for the complainants, to have
them sent for trial to Commissioners,
three In n set. The finding OF the Com
missioners would. of course, be subject
to the subsequent approval OF the Court.
The plan would be fair to all parties.
and would greatly relieve the Court.
In treating the proposition with con
tempt and taking no notice OF 1t the
corporation hopes to wear out the com
plainants. and to postpone any damages
1t may have to pay. 1t will take ten
years to dispose OF ali the cases.
This Is in harmony with the settled
policy OF the road: DO nothing; let exist
ing evils go on without removal, and
the people will get uset TO them at last
and grow tired of complaining.

REPEATING DAvENPoRTIsM.

The House OF Representatives Is gain
n good reputation for direct, effec-
tive and honest work. The Silver Pur-
chasing Repeal bill was passed by the
House after a fair opportunity had been
afforded Its opponents for debate. with
out undue haste, but with unusual
promptness considering the Importance
OF the measure and the determined char
acter of the opposition.
Yesterday the House redeemed an
other OF the pledges TO which 1t owes
It's large Democratic majority by pass
ing the bill repeating the Davenport
Federal Election laws. The majority In
favor OF repeal was 80 In a vote OF 3o1.
These laws were designed to erect a
Republican protectorate around the bal.
lot box and to form the entering wedge
for military terrorism Mt the polls. They
have fostered corruption in elections in.
stead OF checking fraudulent voting. and
have been everywhere partisan in theii
enforcement. They have also been mad,

the moment the most important measure
But It will be pushed through the Senat,

Again the red tape OF the Department
OF Charities and Correction comes into
d~iseraceful conspicuity. In the case OF
the boy VINO was shot In an uptown
shop yesterday, It took half an hour OF
roundabout telephoning TO get an ambu-
lance from the Harlem Hospital. The
boy was dead before the hospital sur
1geon arrived. He would have died, any
way. But the fact remains just the
same that the telephone rule in regard &c
the Harlem Hospital is arbitrary and
unjust, and may be dangerous. 1t should
be changed at once. A means OF direcr

IMMIGRANTS RETURNED.
Two Months in This Country, bu.
Never Landed.

The steamship Britannia. which sailed for Ma
pies to-day. carried back three Italian immi-
grants who have had Il very doletul experience
since leaving their homes.
one OF them was Felipe Artese, twcnty-siS
years old, lie came over on the Karamania Aug,
I. lie was twenty-four days on the voyage. and
was then held on Hoffman Island for twenty days
as cholera was aboard ship. When finally landed
on Ellis Island he was held as II contract laborer.
That was early In September. His case was ap.
pealcd to Washington ard he was again ordered
back to Italy. There were no Anchor line vessels
going to Naples, so he has remained on Ellis ISL
and until to-day.
Another returned immigrant was Francisco Man
cini, aged thirty five years. He arrived here two
months ago and was held as a contract lahorer.
one night he escaped from the detention house in
IA mysterious manner. and no trace OF him could
be found. Nothing was said about his escape, and
a week ago he called at Ellis Island for his bag
gage and was detained.
The third immigrant WAS Giuseppe Scirpo, thir-
teen years old, who was abandoned In this city
hy his father. He was picked up by an agent OF
the Gerry Society In an almost starving conGi-
tiDn.

INdtrtdudt Salts.

The little open salt-cellars which are
placed beside ones napkin at the table
do not commend themselves to the over
fastidious. There is altogether too much
chance of sharing some one else's salt In
a literal sense. since there is nothing
to distinguish them from each other in
the clearing OF the table. and they are
by no means emptied and rehlled before
each meal. Salt sifters are open to no
such objections, but to another equally
Trave: in damp weather they won't sift.
This last error can be corrected either
oy purchasing the fine quality Of salt

ed not to cake, or, more cheaply. by
mixing a little cornstarch or even flour
with the salt before 1t is put in the
cruet. All trouble is then completely OBJ
Waited.
