QUARANTINE QUESTIONS.
TAMMANY SHOWS HER HAND IN
THE HOUSE.

Speaker Crisp Not Anxious for Legis-
lation at this Session-A National
University Bill-Judge Gresham
After a Seat In the Cabinet.
Carlisle,s Resignation and
a New Tariff Bill A
Bill to Repeal the
Federal Election
Laws.
From Our Regular Correspondent.
WAsHINGToN, JAN. 27, 1888.
If the cholera gets foothOld in the
United States next summer by reason
of inadequate quarantine laws, the
Tamman, member of the House, aided
by few others of the Kilgore stripe,
will he responsible for it. The Quar-
antine bill, which recently pas ed the
Senate without division is generally
admitted 20 be good bill, and entire
ly free from even the slightest taint OF
partisanship. About the only crltl-
cism made of the measure was that 1t
dues not actually provide for COM
plete system of Federal quarantine, put
as it practically does the same thing
il was not opposed on that account.
1t was supposed that the House
would promptly ass the bill just as it
was, in order to avoid delay and possi-
ble failure to meet the emergency th3t
every intelligent medical man knows is
almost at hand, and if orders had not
been received from the Tammany boss
to oppose it such would probably have
been the case. As it is the Tammany
members. and few others held out
against the bill and loaded it with
amendments, none of which have i'm
proved it, the evident object being to
defeat quarantine legislation. 'Tis a
fearful responsibility, but what cares
the Tammany crowd for that, so long
as il gets its own way.
