plished.
The Academy has many friends, and they
are not confined to this city or state. They
are to be found in many states, for Of the
thousands of visitors to the city within the
last two or three years from all parts of the
country, many Of them have passed pleas
ant hours viewing its treasures. From some
of these help may be expected.

bought Lamont Needed Watching.

hougnt Lamont Needed Watching.
Ticket Agent Bird OF the New York Central
railroad Office at Jersey City was bit stag
gered this morning when he learned that Col
Lamont was the man who had overpaid him for
a ticket yesterday, says the New York sun.
Col Lamont may also be a bit surprised that
he was under surveillance as q suspected crook
on his way down to Lakewood. IL was this
way; Col. Lamont reached the ferry too late
to buy ticket for Lakewood. He slapped
down cents and sprinted for bis boat. When
he reached Jersey City he asked for a. eIcur-
SION ticket to Lakewood and threw down a SO
note in payment. Before Ticket Agent Bird
could get the change, Col. Lamont Id mis- hast
had left the window, and MIR. Bird didn't know
the lmpetuous colonel. and he shouted out:
Here, there don't you want your changer"
Col. Lamont rushed toward the train without
responding. MIR. ird suspected that there was
a screw loose somewhere. The mans actions
were little mysterious So Mr.. Bird put on his
coat and rushed after him. catching Col. La
mont as he was entering the car.

as be held out his hand for it.
Mr.. Bird was certain then that this man
needed watching He called the conductor OF
the parlor car one side and, pointing out Col.
Lamont, said
Il wish you would watch that man. think
he may b. a crook"
The conductor appreciated his responsibility
and ne looked at Col Lamont so closely and so
often that the colonel finally changed his seat.
Then the conductor walked past him half
dozen times and saw that he seemed to be
thinking very hard. When Lakewood was
reached, and Col. Lamont left the car, the con
ductor followed him, debating whether he
should get the station agent to cover the
ST. anger or whether he should boldly ask him
what his business was. When the conductor
saw MIR. Cleveland step forward and greet the
suspect as Dan" he came to the conclusion
that the laugh and anything else he could get
was on Ticket Agent Bird.

Those farmers who have determined upon
increasing their cotton acreage and de-
creasing the provisions acreage this year
have before them daily, in the market re-
ports, strong argument against doing any
such thing Smoked side bacon was quoted
l19s cents and hams at l6 cents per pound
And these prices are likely to continue for
some time, owing to the scarcity of hogs in
the west Producing meat at an average OF
u cents pound would probably bo found
much more profitable than raising cotton at
Z or cents, which may be the result if an
excessive crop is harvested this year.

A National Quarantine Demanded.

| A National Quarantine Dem anded.
/ At a special meeting OF the New York
/ Academy of Medicine held last Tuesday
night a report memorializing congress in
/ favor of q national quarantine was adopted
without dissenting voice. The meeting
! was a very large one. and included many OF
the most distinguished physicians in the
| city
The fact that in the opinion Of the meet
/ ing the quarantine at New York Is wholly
/ inefficient aud is virtually no protection at
ali against thesintroduction of cholera, was
clearly brought out. The New York
members OF congress who are
lighting a national quarantine pre-
tend that the state quarantine at New
York is all that could be desired. The New
York Academy of Medicine declares that
the quarantine at that por; is utterly in-
efficient for dealing with any emergency In
which more than a single large emigrant
passenger ship infected with cholera should
present itself" It also says that the facili-
ties which did exist or we're extemporized
for handling cholera last summer were
not administered in such way as to inspire
confidence" In the opinion of the academy
cholera would have gained q strong foot
hold in New York last summer and spread
over the country II it bad not been for tile
extraordinary efforts Of the health board Of
that city.
Testimony like this ought to have some
weight with congress. 1t would have /, 1t
were not for the great political influence
that is being exerted in behalf of the state
quarantine. The quarantine Offices are
very desirable ones aud will not be given up
without a struggle. The preservation of
the country from a visitation of cholera
does not seem to be Of as much impor tancs
in the eyes OF some OF the New York con-
gressnlen as the retention OF their friends in
the fat Offices of the state quarantine
service
Their statement that the state quarantine
service is effective, and that it kept
cholera out of New York last summer is de-
MED by those who are best qualified to
speak on the subject, viz. Il; the physicians of
New York.
But national quarantine means a great
deal more than effective quarantine at the
port OF New York. Il means an excellent
quarantine service at all the ports OF the
country; the absence Of pauics and shotgun
guarantees in the interior if few cases of
cholera should appear at any OF the ports
ana that, in emergencies, valuable time
will not be lost In taking precautions by the
rivairies aud jealousies of municipal and
state health boards
Many Of the very men who are now OBJ
structinR national quarantine legislation
for one alleged reason or another would be
the first to seek places Of safety in the event
OF danger from cholera, and they would be
quick to call upon the national government
for protection against the danger. Just
now, however, when danger is not immi-
nent, they fail to see beyond the few local
offices coveted by some of their constituents.
The welfare Of the country requires a
national quarantine. The people want it,
and if an opportunity should occur for ex-
pressing their desire in the matter. at least
nine-tenth3 Of them would favor it.

a Misuu q erstanding,

Mr.. Hoke Smith, in letter to the
Charleston NetUS and Courier, says that no
arrangement, combination or deal of any
kind has been entered into" by Senator
Irby, Of South Carolina, aud himself, with
reference to the Offices. In the same letter
Mr.. Smith says the NelUS and Courier
might have said that he considered ''all
deals for the disposition of public Office I'M
patriotic if not dshonorable."
Mr.. Smiths letter was in response to a
Washington dispatch in the Netvs and
Courier In which it was intimated that
Senator Irby WAS booming Mr.. Smith for a
cabinet place In order to thwart the wishes
Of Senator Buffers friends The inference
was that Mr.. Smith and Senator Irby had
agreed upon deal of some sort.
But there was no deal or combination or
anything Of the sort, according to Mr..
Smith. 1t is TO be presumed that Mr..
Smith would accept a place in the cabinet
IL It were offered him, but q resents the
suggestion that he would engage in a deal
or make combination in order to get TO be
a member of Mr.. CleveIand's political
household.
~ SoOhln bhdb NJoHabOE lEDJ ulu say COM
plimentsry things TO Mr.. Cleveland about
Mr.. Smith, but, according to the present
understanding OF the situation, be did not
do so at Mr.. Smiths suggestion. II Mr.
Smith is offered a cabinet place he wants
the offer to come from Mr.. Cleveland un-
suggested by any one.
1t is assumed that Mr.. Smith has an am
bition to be member of Mr. Cleveland's
cabinet. The ambition is an honorable
one, and no doubt Mr.. Smiths friends would
like to see it gratifed. 1t may be that Mr..
Cleveland has Mr.. Smith in mind, though
II he hos the fact has not reached the pub
lie. However. Mr.. Cleveland is noted for
keeping his own counsel.
The NetOs and Courier seems to think
that Mr.. Smith is rather unfortunate in
having his cause championed by Senator
Irby, who was not friendly to the nomina-
ton of Mr.. Cleveland.
But 1t is probable that Mr.. Cleveland was
not influenced for nor against Mr.. Smith by
what Senator lrby said. He has made I'D
his mind probably as to the men he wants
in his cabinet. If he wants Mr.. Smith he
will notify him doubtless in due time. The
gossip relative to Mr.. Smiths alleged cabi-
net aspirations may be annoying to him.
but it will hardly lessen the prospect Of his
success

ted to the President. The main purpose Of the
bill the prevention OF gambling in futures, met
with public approval, but the more the measure
was studied the more certain it became that If
enacted IL would be used to obstruct and inter.
fered with legitimate trade, while probably
leaving the evils it attacked as great as ever.
The surgery when proposed to kill trade to cure
an excrescence thereon, is too heroic TO be
sanctioned. The Presidents veto or the neg.
lect of the House is now looked for to prevent
this mischieyous legislation.

1t is reported that a storm Is brewing in
New Jersey over the nomination of William
Walter Phelps for lay judge OF the court of
errors and appeals The objection Is based
on the ground that MIR. Phelps is a repub-
lican and was named for place now occu-
pied by democrat. Another report, how
ever, and a decidedly more interesting one.
is that Mr.. Phelps has changed his views
concerning the tariff, and his seeking an
appointment at the hands OF the democratic
governor is the token OF his abandonment
OF the Republican party. Many Of Mr..
Phelps personal friends have said That he
is no longer a republican, but is now a
democrat Were it not that so many promi-
nent republicans have left the party in the
last three months there might be consider
able doubt of the existence Of grounds for
this rumor, but when so many prominent
men are abandoning the old party it would
not be surprising to find Mr.. Phelps among
the number.
