fer it to the committee on finance was

CLASH OF AUTHORITY.
It Grows Out of the Quarantine Cues
ton at Columbus.


Columbus, Ga, Aug. 23.-The city is
filed up with refugees from Brunswick,
and a serious disagreement has occurred
between the board of health and the city
council. Yesterday, Immediately on the
announcement that another case of yellow
fever had appeared at Brunswick, the
board of health met and recommended
that quarantine be established At a
meeting of council, held later, the recon-
mendation was not enforced, and the
council decided that there was no neces-
sity for quarantine.
MAJORITY OF THE BOARD RESIGN.
Tonight the board oN health met and
four of the six members decided to tender
their designations at once. The four are
the leading physicians of this city and
are naturally indignant at the manner in
which their recommendation was treated
They considered that it was prudential to
quarantine, although not al all alarm
ing or apprehensive. If the fever should
occur among the refugees here a fearful
responsibility would rest upon the coun-
Gil There may be no danger, but many
citizens think the advice of the board of
health should have been adopted One
memberis absent from the city 1t is not
known whether he will resign or not.
Another member, who is a city physician,
will not resign, and now constitutes the
board of health all by himself.

HAWAII.
Conference Between Secretary Gresh-
am and Mr.. Blount.


Washington, Aug. 23.-SecretaryG Gresh-
am and Minister Blount had another long
conference over Hawaiian affairs this
morning They entered into a practical
dissection of Mr., Blount's several reports,
Secretary Gresham asking fuller explana-
tion of the various topics treated and
Mr. Blount giving his views in a manner
palmer than he was allowed by his in
structions TO assume in the preparation of
his official documents. 1t is learned that at
the conference yesterday Mr. Blount was
told by the secretary, or that the two
agreed, that there was no necessity for
the minister to go to Gray Gables for
cOnsultatiO with the President. The
situation will be considered by Secretary
Gresham and Mr.. Blount until the return
of Mr. Cleveland, with the view to facii-
tation as to the recommendation of the
administration.
SPECIAL MESSAGE PROBABLE.
From the speedy manner with which
the question was taken up after the re-
turn of Mr.. Blount, it is believed that the
President will send to congress special
message giving his views on the question
of the relation the United States should
bear to Hawaii before the present session
comes to an end. 1t is said that the ad-
ministration has come to no conclusion
with regard to the policy it will recon-
mend.
After leaving the state department,
Mr.. Blount went to the interior depart
ment and had a long chat on Georgia
matters with the Secretary of the Inte-
rior Mr. Blount will take train to-
morrow for his home in Columbus, Ga.

Repeal Reokoned to Be rs.

Washington, Aug 28.-At meeting
this afternoon of the executive committee
of the anti-silver men, in the House, the
final figures were presented Of the poll of
the members on the questions contained
in the bills now pending. One of the
members stated that if the friends of free
coinage could concentrate their whole
strength upon any one of the ratios, the
majority would be IS.
SILVER MEN DIVIDED ON THE RATIO.
But as this is concededly impracticable,
there being some who win vote in favor
of retaining the present ratio of 16 to /,
and who will not support a change to 20
to l, and some who win vote for 20 to
who will oppose l6 to /, the majority
against either one will be upwards of so
When it comes to the naked question of
repeal or no repeal, as presented in the
Wilson bill, the member stated that the
majority in favor of its passage will be at
least IS.

Albany, Ca, Aug. 23.-Brunswick's
second case of yellow fever, and the tre-
mendous exodus from there in conse-
quence, have had the effect of putting
Albany in rigid quarantine Every train
entering the city is quarantined, and no
one is allowed to enter the city. Council
has likewise passed an ordinance prohlo-
iting fish, shrimp. crabs, etc, from export
points from entering the city. The quar-
antine is on in Albany with vengeance.

Hot Protests Against the Sale Of

From Jealousy.
London, Aug 23.-The Times to-day
publishes a dispatch from Berlin severely
commenting upon what it terms Prince
Bismarck's scarcely veiled attempt, in
addressing his yisitors at Kissingen,
to excite the individual diets
against the new regime. The
Times correspondent declares that the
princes statements were misleading, and
rebukes the charge of unconstitutional-
ism. He recalls the fact that it was
Prince Bismarck himself who separated
the offices of chancellor and the president
of the Prussian council of ministers.
The correspondent attributes the princes
outburst at Kissingen to the bitter jeal-
ousy he feels in finding that Germany
does so well without him.

IT CERTAINLY appears that President
HARRISON is right in claiming that Eng
fish vessels arriving at San Francisco
from China and Japan, with tea and silk,
should have their cargoes inspected by
United States custom house officials at the
port of entry, whether in bond or not.
The present system, which permits trans
portation by Columbia river into Cana
dian territory, thence by the Canadian
Pacific, admits, it is said, of great deal
Of smuggling across our northern border,

Must Jurors Be Ignoramuses /?

The decision OF the Supreme Court OF
Illinois in the case of a penitentiary pris-
oner convicted as one of the CRoNIN muir
derers, on the point of the competency OF
jurors who had formed an opinion, will
produce no little criticism throughout the
country. The rule has heretofore been,
in trials where it is difficult to empanel a
jury by reason of the notoriety of the
case, not to excuse a juror who has merely
formed an opinion without prejudice, if
it is such as may be changed by full
knowledge of the facts. Mary person
entirely competent to sit in the jury box
and render true and impartial verdict
escapes service by trying to disqualify
himself on examination; but courts are
apt not to excuse such if it appears
there is no bias resting in the mind
OF the person subpenaed, for or against
either side. The reasoning is this: A
man reads or hears a statement of an
occurrence and makes up his mind at once
on the merits. If the same version is in
evidence IN court the verdict will be in
accordance with the original Judgment,
but if another set of circumstances, ex-
planatory or rebutting, is produced, the
fair and impartial juror changes his mind,
and his verdict is in agreement with all
the facts, old and new.
The decision CT the Illinois supreme
court very considerably restricts and cir
cumscribes this common rule of juries. It
declares, GA juror who is known to have
in his mind fixed and positive opinion
is not impartial, as matter of fact. =
And the chief justice who writes the opin-
ion holds that he s prejudiced.
1t is not surprising that the older heads
of the court, Judges sCoFIELD and MA
GRUDER, utterly dissent from this de-
parture, so radical and revolutionary in
its tendency. To our minds it is a
blow at the intelligence and fairness
of American manhood. and perpetuates
the Anticipated notion that one who reads
the newspapers, and who has sufficient
mental capacity to form passing conclus-
ions on such chronicles of events as he
may see, is unfit to exercise one of the
most important functions of the citizen.
An individual who at the time OF the
commission of an unusual crime, which
is the common talk, declares he has read
nothing about it, is the very one who
thereby proclaims himself disqualified to
act as juror. the just inference being
that it is only the ignorant who do not
read the newspapers.

Gratitude to Republicans.

Gen. MIcHENER, OF Indiana, a some
what ELUSIVE Republican politician, has
taken up the cudgels at Washington in
behalf OF Statehood for Utah and Ari-
iona. He has issued confidential circu-
lar on the subject to Senators, basing his
appeal on the ground that the action
would add four Republican Senator'S to
the roll-call.
Gen. M. was one OF the Republican
leaders who at Minneapolis pledged the
electoral vote of Indiana to HARRISON,
and who, all through the campaign, as
sured his friends publicly and privately
that there could be no possibility OF
CLEVELAND carrying the State. CRANE
and CANNON were no less confident OF
the Republicans carrying Utah for Dele
gate last November; but all the predic-
tons and plans, we remember, went
s.aglee, - though the most extraordinary
and unprecedented means were used to
produce the result they prophesied.
General MIcHENER says experience
has shown that goodly percentage OF
the people vote with the party that gives
them statehood. That is SO to but
limited extent. The Democratic party
gave statehood to Kansas and Nebraska,
but they entered the Union as Republican
states. Colorado could easily have been
kept out by the Democracy, but Demo-
cratic votes admitted her just in time to
defeat TILDEN for President. A better
way for the Indiana attorney to have
stated his case would be that the RepubIi-
can party has never heretofore admitted
state, except with the expectation Of in
creasing its vote in Congress or in the
electoral college.
Instead OF Democrats owing anything
to the opposite party on the question of

Society and secretary Carlisle

Senator CARLIsLE's resignation has
been forwarded to the governor of Ken
lucky, and the legislature of that state
will soon fill the vacancy. The country
viii rejoice that the Senator objections
against going into the cabinet have been
overcome, and that he will devote his ex-
traordinary genius and talent to the as
sistance of President CLEVELAND in the
solution Of the great financial questions
which confront the country.
The circumstance of Mr.. CARLISLE not
being a man Of wealth has been referred
to in connection with his assumption of
the duties of the Secretaryship OF the
treasury. It will be a sorry day for the
United States when the people
must be deprived OF the services of
their most eminent citizens because
they may not be prepared pecuniarly to
meet the exacting demands of high society.
There ought to be no reason why cabinet
minister must necessarily have a greater
income than the salary attached to his Of
fee, if it be enough to live on in the style
he maintains when at home. Society has
no right to require OF him that his house
shall be open for costly receptions, sump-
tuous dinners or great balls. Republican
simplicity really frowns upon such dis
plays, which are but limitations of the
functions OF people who have inherited
immense fortunes and career of indo-
lence.
We are sure Secretary CARLISLE will
command as much respect in his modest
house extending the moderate hospitality
he is accustomed to dispense, as though
his time and means were entirely given
over tolbrilliant entertainments and lie
