IMMEDIATE ACTION NEEDED.

The democratic platform demands that
silver be coined on parity with gold,
but, says the Macon News, that is no
reason for delaying the repeal OF the
Notwithstanding Sherman act. Bimetal-
ism is what the country wants and the
marty has declared in favor of it, but the
immediate repeal of the Sherman act is
the first and paramount d1ty of congress-
Mr.. Cleveland emphasized the necessity
for it by calling congress together for
that specific purpose
The democratic party is pledged TO
maintain the parity of the metals. 1t is
likewise pledged to reform the tariff to
a basis of producing a revenue sufficient
tniy to support the government honest
" and economically administered. 1t is
committed as much to one of the reforms
as another. But there is no reason why
the most important legislation should
not be enacted first, and in these times
of financial panic and universal distress
the most urgent matter that engages the
attention Of congress is the repeal of the
sherman act. The fact that men Of all
the parties recognize the necessity
for this makes it all the more palpa Ole.
When this much is accomplished and
the pressure is removed, congress CO n

ATTACK ON THE CANADIAN PACIFIC.
OTTAWA (Ont.), Feb. 7.-Senator Boul-
ton of Manitoba, will shortly make an
attack on the Canadian Pacific road. In
the Senate he gave notice of the following
resolutions:
WHEREAS, The competition of the Cam
adian Pacific Railway is a source of irri-
tation to the Government of the United
States, and threatens to interfere with
international courtesies that have been
reciprocal in bonding privileges, and has
called forth from the President of the
United States recommendations to re-
strict the bonding privileges between the
countries in the transportation of the
Canadian trade through United States
territory; and whereas, the construction
of that branch of the Canadian Pacific in
tended to diverge from the main line at
or near Regina to the United States
boundary is for the purpose of connect
ing the main line with the Sault Ste.
Marie system of the Canadian Pacific.
and will have the effect of diverting the
trade and traffic of Canada east and west
OF Regina through the United States for
over 900 miles, instead of through Cana
dian territory, and competing with rail-
ways of States through that 900 miles of
country; and whereas, such divergement
is not in the interest of the people of
Western Canada, or in accord with the
spirit of their national policy, and rem
ders them no competition, while weaken
ing the earning power OF the main line of
the Canadian Pacific between Regina and
the north by enhancing the rates on their
produce seeking Western markets; there
fore, be it

House the charters for this branch line

Two Sources From Which 1t May Be
Expected Pointed Out.
CHICAGO, Feb. T. Director-General
Davis of the Worlds Fair has submitted
to the Council of Administration a
lengthy report upon the cholera quaran-
tine. In it, he says there are but two
sources from which the introduction of
cholera into our country can be expected.
The first and the most dangerous is the
arrival of immigrants and visitors from
ports where cholera has prevailed during
the past season and where it is still not
entirely eradicated. The second is the
arrival from said ports of ba4es of mer-
chandise, principally rags. He appre-
hends little or no danger from the latter.
As regards immigration and visitors, he
says that to give the general public con-
tidence in the efficiency of the quaran-
tine regulations at the seaboard, it is alb
solutely necessary the United States
Government should assume the con-
troll and direction of the service and be-
come responsible for the enforcement not
alone of sanitary inspections and pre-
cautions on the arrival of infected Or
suspected vessels, but also of regulations
covering the acceptance of passengers
from infected districts. This would in
spire confidence and prevent any appre-
hension of epidemic. Regarding the
local aspect of the question the Director
General says the city authorities should
make every effort to keep the city clean
and the Worlds Fair Grounds should
have distinct sanitary inspection of their
own with rigid rules prescribed by the
Medical Director.

Three Medical Students Die Suddenly
at ST. Louis.
ST. LOUIS. Feb. Fired H. White of
San Antonio, Texas, student at the Col
lege of Physicians and Surgeons here.
was taken suddenly i'll at lecture Thurs
day, and died within twenty -four hours.
The symptoms were so peculiar that the
doctors refused to sign the death certifi-
cate until ordered to do so by the Health
Department, and gave scarlet fever as the
cause. Friday George Pirndon of Ken
lucky was seized with similar symp-
toms to those of White, and died this
morning. Saturday David Brown was
taken i'll of apparently the same disease,
and died this afternoon. In all three
cases the attending physicians were un-
able to determine the exact cause of
death, and referred the matter to the
Health Department.
The doctors report calls attention to
the suspicious nature OF the cases, which
toward the termination manifested symp-
tomps of a character that caused a grave
doubt as to the possibility of the exist
ence of cerebral typhus, as differentiated
from cerebro-spinal meningitis. The
doctors insist upon an official investiga-
ton for the purpose of determining the
exact etiology of so vital point
Mr.. Graves says: Student Whites
case was not malignant scarlet fever. 1t
was typhus."
Among the students the sickness caused
widespread CONSERVATION. After Whites
death the college closed, and the men be-
gan leaving for home. The students ex-
press the belief that the disease, what
ever it may be, was caught by the men in
the dissecting- room.
