The residents of Fourth street northeast
near the Mundel residence, are still greatly
excited. When they learned of the third case,
that of Mary Thomas. this excited feeling was
greatly intensified When TIMES reporter
visited the neighborhood last night he fonnd
Mr.. Frank Ellis eagerly discussing the situa-
tion with a small crowd of neighbors.
''Itis going to spread all over this locality"
he declared. Those children in the infected
houses have been attending school, while the
grown people have been going to and from
their service places and carrying the conta-
gion into the families of their employers.
The outlook is gloomy enough for a spread
Of the contagion. There is no telling where
il viii break out next.
Another Of the neighbors favored calling
an Indignation meeting and demanding that
the police and health authorities quaran-
tine all persons who had lived in the in
fected dwellings.
Mr.. Ellis said he had heard on good au-
thority that a sister of Mary Mundel, who
died at the pesthouse, was lying at the point
of death al the home of her parents. in the
village Of Pisgah, Nd, ten miles below Gly-
mont II this is so it makes four victims of
the plague so far
Surgeon General Wyman. of the Marine
Hospital Service, took steps last night to in
vestigate the case of Mary Mundels sister.
Health Officer Woodward advises all per-
sons who have not been yaccinated to have
that operation performed on themselves at
once
Coroner Hammett said to a TIMES reporter
last night when informed of Mary MundePs
death at the contagious hospital:
~ have had considerable experience with
smallpox cases, and it looks to me as though
the Mundel woman's death was very sudden"
"Wili you perform an autopsy on Mary
Mundels remains?" asked the reporter.
NO" replied DR.. Hammett, with signif-
cant smile, ''that will not be necessary"

The Industry of the Sheriff.

The platform of the Democratic party
Mt Chicago vigorously denounced the in
dustry of the sheriff, which, it was
claimed had been fostercd by protection.
Remembering how busy time the sher-
iff has had since March A, 1898, it is as
well to see how the Democratic perform
ance has agreed with its denunciation of
the sheriff's industry.
During 1898 there were 1850 trade
failures in the United States, being so
per cent more than in 1892. The liabili-
ties of those who failed in 1898 were
$3.50, 900, 900, as compared with liabilities
of $10S,000, 900 in 1892, an increase Of
$685., 100000 in single year. Was there
ever such an arrant humbug and fraud as
this Chicago denunciation of the sheriff?
United States to arise at once and de-
mand the immediate cessation of the pol
icy of prostration which the high sheriff
is thrusting upon the American people
and to 'denounce policy which fosters
no industry so much as it does that of
the sheriff. "--American Economist,

Editor Dana short ON wheat.

ANY great fall of the price of wheat
is no longer possible, as the consump-
ton increases faster than the produc-
ton.
Tho above remark was made by Mr..
) Charlos A. Dana, the editor of The Sun,
when interviewed in Paris. Mr.. Dana
may be correct in stating that "any
great fall in the price of wheat is no
longer possible, " because farmers have
seen the price of wheat tumble down to
bedrock since the election of Demo-
cratic administration, which was aided
and abetted by The Sun.
Mr.. Dana is wrong, however, III stat
ing that "the consumption increases
faster than the production. " There was
surplus of wheat stocks throughout
the world larger by 90, 600, 600 bushels
July 1, 1894, than on the same date two
years ago, larger by 50, 600, 600 bushels
than three years ago. larger by O,OOo,-
900 bushels than four years ago and
larger by SO, 900, 900 bushels than five
years ago, when tho area planted to
wheat was 8, 200, 900 acres greater than
last seasons area. Mr.. Dana should not
be led away by wheat statistical theo-
rists. He should study facts.

Democratic Inaction

1
The tariff bill has been before the SEN
ate for many weeks. Over 400 Demo
cratic amendments have been proposed,
and the long debate on each of these
drags from week to week, from month
to month. Meantime the country waits;
industries OF every sort, paralyzed by
the threat of the repeal of the present
protective tariff, stand idle or working
on short time until some definite legisla-
ton is in sight. This long delay, this
continued tension of the business situa-
ton, is wholly due to Democratic inca,
pacity.
Look at the record of delays. Mr.. Will.
sons bill was so altered and amended in
the house that it was hardly recogniz-
able. 1t went to the senate to be re-
vamped in secret caucus and loaded
down with over 400 amendments. If
they had mind of their own, why did
they not speak it in their first bill? Why,
if the Wilson bill is wrong, are we to be-
lieve that the Wilson Voorhees, bill is
perfect?
The mere careful consideration of a
tariff bill demands time. If to that is
added 400 amendments by Democratic
committee, many weeks must be con-
sumed.
All the Republicans ask is fair discus
sion OF each paragraph and principle.
1t is not their fault if afiuctuating Dem
ocratic mind brings 400 new topics to be
debated.
They have few rights; should be ex-
pected to propose some amendments, but
they are not standing in the way.
They have dared the Democrats to
bring it to vote. They stand ready to
press the matter to speedy decision.
All they will demand is that after fair
and full discussion there should be yea
and nay votes on all important topics, so
that there can be no Democratic hedg-
ing, no hiding behind unrecorded votes.
The Democrats have full control of the
executive, the house and the senate.
That they do nothing except talk and
quarrel among themselves is no fault of
the minority. When the Republicans
had charge, they knew their mind and
spoke it and got their legislation onto
the statute books In good order. That
the Democrats fail in this duty is be-
cause they have no mind or so many diff
ferent ones; because they are unable to
rise to the dignity of initiative, but pot
ter and dodder while a nation waits in
idleness and distress.

The foregoing shows reports from AZ
of the leading theaters of the United
States For every 81, 700 received by
these theaters during the first three
months of 1898 their receipts amounted
to only SO, 40S during the first three
months of the present year, the loss be-
ing $1,000, or % per cent for the whole
country. While the actor is not directly
protected by tariff, it is very evident
that the prosperity of the country under
protective tariff affords larger receipts
to those engaged in the theatrical pro-
fession than the disturbed condition OF
the country will permit under the mere
threat of free trade When people are
not earning money at all or are not
earning good wages, it is impossible for
them to spend money upon amusements-
