NATIONAL OUARANTINR.

The New York Press of Sunday con-
tanned replies from most of the Cover
nors of the States of the Union, and the
Rutland Herald has made a synopsis of
their letters to the Press that will be of
interest. 1t says:
The governors of all the states have
been asked lot of questions as to what
they think about quarantine and immi-
grafton, and enough of the chief magis.
trates have answered to make an instruc-
tive collection of news"
Gov. Cleaves of Name thinks that the
people of that commonwealth would like
to see additional precautions against
cholera but he doesn't specify the pre-
cautions. Gov. Brown of Rhode Island
prefers national quarantine to state quar-
antine, whenever it becomes necessary"
Gov. Norris of Connecticut isn't heard
from over his own signature, but accord
ing the Press Hartford correspondent he
is Tin favor of national and uniform
regulation, for all ports of entry, of the
inspection and treatment of Infected i'm
migrants" Gov Flower of New York
doesn't believe in an exclusive national
quarantine, doesn't believe the New
Workers believe in it AS for the other
matter, he is quoted as asking why we
should go to the expense of maintaining
any sort of quarantine if we are going to
shut out immigrants altogether. Gov.
Werts of New Jersey isn't prepared at
present to express any opinion-one way
or The other. Gov. Pattison of Pennsyl-
vania doesn't think it would be proper
for him to express one at this time, as a
stata nnln mission of his appointmont is
to make report on the quarantine ques-
ton this week.
Gov. Mckinley eff Ohio is for national
quarantine. So are the governors of
Minnesota, Kansas, Idaho, Nevada, South
Dakota and Wyoming. Nearly all these
governors are also for permanent re-
striction of immigration. "a total tenn
porary suspension" would suit Gov. Lee
yelling Of Kansas as a beginning. "For
the present immigration should be prac-
tically suspended says Gov. Stone of
Missouri. who also favors all possible
quarantine recautions-national and To-
cal. As often as cholera shows itself in
Europe, Gov. Sheldon of South Dakota
would have all steerage immigration
stopped, and he would have good deal
of it stopped at other times, too. "We
are not, he says, IN favor of making
this country the dumping point for the
paupe-s and criminals of the world
Only three southern states are heard
from. Gov. fleming favors additional
but not an exclusive ma
tional quarantine; the regulation" of
but not its permanent re-
striction. Gov. Tillman of South Caro-
lima reports that the; people down his
way want the cholera kept out, and alsS
want 'the scum of Europe kept out.
But there is plenty of room in the South |
yet for millions of white men who are
willing to work for living to get homes
for themselves" he adds, land we want
them" Gov. Stone of Mississippi thinks
the Misslssippians prefer national quar-
antine to cholera. Personally he hopes
to see such an amendment of our immi-
grafton laws-not repngnant to the spirit |
of our institutions-as shall "effectually |
exclude all Objectionable persons"
