The Fever Gases at Pensacola

Although the two deaths from yellow
fever at Pensacola may not be good rea-
son for a paniclSy feeling in that city,
they are sufficient to cause a great deal
of uneasiness. The absence of any other
suspicious cases is a good sign, and it is
sincerely to be hoped that there will be
no other cases.
The county board of health of Escambia
county, the county in which Pensacola is
situated, still has control of the health
matters of the county. Escambia and
Franklin counties were excepted from
the bill abolishing county boards
of health which was passed by
the last legislature. The health boards
of those counties are subject to the rules
and regulations of the state board of
health, however, and State HealthOfficer
Porter should have been promptly noti-
fed by the physicians who attended the
two cases if they suspected the nature of
the disease. 1t may be that it was not
until the cases terminated fatally that
the physicians had suspicious.
Had the state health officer been mott

at Ocala. No harm may have been done
by the trip os the military to Ocala, but it
would have been better if the trip had
not been made because, naturally, there
will be considerable uneasiness at Ocala,
and at Baldwin, where stop was made,
until a sufficient time has elapsed to make
it certain that the military did not carry
the infection.

Mas. Blnndford Points Out a n1istale.

MAJ. Blnndford Points Out Mistake.
IN his monthly report. read 40 the
meeting o. the county commissioners on
Wednesday. Mai Blandf0rd said that the
cutting Of the Oeeechce canal bank and
the turning Of the water from the canal
into Dundee swamp was a serious mis-
take. and that when the heavy rains cease
the water in tho swamp will become stag
nant and may cause sickness, not only in
The vicinity Of the swamp but also in the
city. According TO what Mai. Blandford
says there are several swamps into which
the water could have been turned, and
from which it would have found its way
into the Little Ogeechee river, thus avoid
ing the danger TO which Maj. Blandford
calls attention.
1t would be interesting to know who is
responsible for the mistake Evidently
Maj. Blandford is not, and the printed
part Of his report does not state who
is
The bank of the canal could hardly have
been cut without authority from some one.
This question arises: are changes that
have an important bearing upon the pub
lie health made in the drainage system of
the county without consulting the county
engineer, who is, or ought to be, better
qualified than anyone else to say what
the effect of those changes would be-
a great deal of work has been done and
a large amount of money spent within the
last few years in improving the drainage
of the county, mainly for the purpose of
securing better health conditions. But,
according to Mai. Blandford, the good eff
feet of much of this work has been multi
fed by turning the waters of the Ogle-
chez canal into the Dundee swamp.
Surely this mistake, as Maj. Blandford
calls it, ought to be investigated, with
the view of placing the response
bility for it where it belongs, and
also of preventing a similar mis-
take in the future. Another
thing that ought to be looked into is
whether something cannot be done to pre-
vent the evil effects which it is thought
will be caused by the mistake. Just now
it is important that no danger spots shall
be neglected. Prompt and intelligent
action may save great deal Of trouble.

7 Necessity for prompt action ID providing "a
/ remedy for fhe present financial troubles
Congrl ssmen do not seem go Doe as deeply
impressed with the necessity for acting
quickly as they should. The evidences
I that arc being daily brought 90 their at
/ tcntion Of the dangerous condition Of toth
! business and industrial interests in all
/ parts OF the country ought 20 be sufficient
to make them understand the gravity Of
the situation and the full measure Of the
responsibility that rests upon them.
It BEGINS 70 look as if there would be a
prolonged debate on the silver question.
Why cannot congress agree to
repeal at once the law that
authorizes the purchase Of silver
and then discuss the silver ques-
tionl The repeal of that law would help
greatly to restore confidence, and when
confidence is restored the business Of the
country will go on as usual while the sill
yer question is being considered
Some provision will be made Tor retain
ing silver as one Of the money metals, but
it will take a good deal of time to reach
an agreement as to what the provision
shall be. The country cannot safely wait
until such an agreement is reached. Al
ready it has suffered immense losses, and
the distrust, which is largely responsible
for these losses, still exists.
Congress can remove that distrust in
short order by stopping the further pur-
chase Of silver bullion. VIII it do so
promptlyl If it does not it will be re-
sponsible for the distress and ruin that
are pretty sure TO result from delay.
The cotton crop will pretty soon be
coming to market Unless there is money
sufficient to handle it, the cotton growers
are certain to suffer, not only for the
want of money to meet their obligations,
but they will be forced to sell their cot
ton at panic prices. The marketing Of
the cotton crop under such conditions
would cause the south an immense loss.
We do not see how southern congress
men can hesitate to urge the prompt re-
peal of the silver-purchase law whatever
may be their views as to the basis upon
whichthe silver question should be settled
If they desire to do the south the greatest
possible service they will join hands with
those who believe the silver-purchase
law should be Internationally repealed
When that is done the way will be open
for a settlement of the silver question and
the time needed for settling it wisely can
be given 10 IL.

Very Much in Earnest.

The business men of this city and of
every other city and town in the south
are very much in earnest in their desire
that congress shall promptly and uucon-
ditionally repeal the silver-purchase act

such that they cannot wait with any de-
gree of safety for congress to discuss the
silver question month or two. They
want that done which will it is believed,
restore confidence, and thus put an end
to the money stringency,
The board of trade will hold a meeting
tomorrow to which the cotton exchange
is invited, to urge congress to act
quickly. The action of the two trade
bodies should be positive and emphatic
Congressman, those from Georgia partic-
ularly, should be told exactly the condi-

A Witty Answer.

Those whose mission in life 1t is TO enter
tain the public are always pestered by friends
and acquaintances for free seats at their en-
tertainments, says Harpers Young People.
There probably never was a singer or an &C
tor or pianist who was not bored nearly to
death by these people, many Of whom had not
the slightest claim to ask the courtesy they
demanded.
A pianist who was prominently successful
in his day and that day was not so far back
either, was Rubinstein, who travelled nearly
the whole world over delighting people with
his genius. He like all others, was very
much annoyed by requests for complimentary
tickets, but most OF the time he maintained
his composure even though justly irrttsted
1t is told Of him that Just before one of his re-
citals in London he was accosted by an old
lady in the entrance hall, and thus address
ed:
oh, Mr.. Rubinstein, I am so glad to see
youl have tried in vain to purchase ticket
Have you a seat that you could let me haveY
Madam said the great pianist, there Is
but one seat a my disposal, and that you are
welcome to, if you think fit to take it."
oh, yes and thousand thanksl Where is

The Panicky Man.
From the Washlngton Star

Whenever there s trouble in this thing or that,
No matter how distant the place,
When somebody says that finances are fiat,
Or that war signs are easy to trace.
The average person would stick to his task,
Still doing the best TINT he can
To keep things as well as it's reason to ask
But along comes the panicky man.
With significant looks and a voice that is low
He hints at disheartening things;
His you mightn have thought IL, but now,
don I you know"
In mou~nfuest minor he sings.
Though full OF good cheer and contentment at
morn,
Your task for the day you began,
You Il presently almost regret you we're born
For along comes the panicky man.
Shall people be led by the raven whose note
Is the moaning of idle despair?
Shall mere puny Terror take Thrift by the
throat
And Courage her mission forbear?
Not so; for the public is wiser to-day;
1t has hit on n different plan;
For tbs well understood that the sensible way
Is to sit on the panicky man.

Silver in the House and Senate.

In the House the friends of silver-purchase
repeal are unquestionably in clear majority
and they secure the respect and Difference
which majority commands. In the Senate
it is not known which side has the majority:
but il is known that the advocates OF free
silver are strong enough, with their numerical
force and with the traditions Of unlimited de
bate IN the Senate, to make prolonged con
test. 1t is u matter of consolidation that an
agreement is on foot which promises an early
decision in the House but IL would be much
more encouraging If such an understanding
could be reached in the Senate.
