Will Norfolk close her gates against

"A burned child breads the fire." IS a
true shying and this city Is not unInind-
full Of the terrible scourss of yellow
fever that played iiavoc with life and
business interests here fortyiyears ago.
stu. 1t Is not thought that the dread
disease. which is now terrorizing Louis
lana, Alabama and mississippi, can OBJ
tain foothold in the fall. With cold
weather coming on apace ana with the
frost only few short weeks off, this city
mas really nothing to fear from the

But the less fortunate cities along the
semi-troptcal Gulf coast are panic striclS-
en-. A Virginian staff representative
wednesday saw three thousand refugees
from New Orleans arrive in Atlanta.
They came on four special trains and
not one of these was allowed to stop
anywhere between New Orleans and At
lanta, except TO change engines. The
people are fleeing In droves to'the!r only
haven of refuge. Atlanta. with her Gus
tomary broad humanity, has thrown her
gates wide open and TO the citizens nt
the infected district she has extended
cordial welcome, which they have
gladly accepted.
Medical mon say that the Gate City
Of the South need fear no epidemic as
the result of her generous act. Perched
on the top OF the Range of Hills, 1,4OO
feet above the sea lever, the fever can

no action and 1t is not thought that this
city Is In any danger from yellow jack
ATLANTA'S EXPLANATION.
Atlanta, Ga, Sept. 16.-Several South
ern cities. including Charleston, Chat
tanooga, Selma and Montgomery, have
guaranteed against Atlanta In some
quarters the reason for this act of pre-
caution on the part or those cities may
not be understood. The quarantine
against Atlanta is not established be-
cause the authorities o. the auarantin.
| Ing cities fear that there is yellow fever
In Atlanta, or because they believe the
climatic conditions of this city are such
as would be likely to endanger the health
or the city by receiving straight from
Infected sources those fleeing from the
yellow fever
The fact Is that the cities quarantlnine
against Atlanta do so fearing that re.
tugees might use their stay In Atlanta
as cloak for the securing of a GER
titicate OF health and might bring to this
city latent germs.

The Chanute times. [volume] (Chanute, Kan.) 1897-1913, 1897-05-14

The little republic of Hawaii is EN-
barassed by an extraordinary influx o.
Japanese immigrants, stimulated by
immigration societies working with the
encouragement if not actually as agents
of the government of Japan. The ia
panese in the islands already are more
numerous than the people of any other
nationality, except the native Hawaii
ans. Various forms of restriction i'm
posed by the Hawaiian government
were evaded by the immigrants, until
at last the government forbade the land
ing of a ship load of Japanese, and or
dered them sent back. Japan claims
the privileges of free immigration un-
der an old treaty. and appears to be
using them to carry out plan Of vir-
tual colonization.

The myth about Jefferson riding all
alone to the capital, hitching his horse
to a post, and assuming the presidency
without any apparent interest in the
matter by himself or anybody else. dies
hard. In fact there is no certainty that
it will ever die. 1t has often been ex-
posed in recent years, but great newspa-
pers and books here and there seriously
repeat it at the slightest provocntion.
and probably will continue to do SO for
years to come. 1t has already lived long

NECESSITY OF PROTECTION
AGAINST JAPAN.

Until the question Of protection for
American industries against the compe-
tition Of Japan with its cheap labor is
finally settled, it will continue to be of
absorbing interest to a large number OF
persons in this country. We have al
ready detailed at considerable length the
enormous expansion of japanese indus
try and the marvellous celebrity and skill
with which that empires subjects adapt
themselves to the arts OF manufacture.
h effect OF an Oriental competition
which can produce goods with labor
which it pays from 5 to IS cents n day.
is the problem that is before this
try today.
Grave consideration is due to the
statements OF Representative-elect
Pearce. of Missouri, who personally
made an investigation Of the subject in
Japan. He presents a list, including
more than 30 lines OF manufacture,
which may be covered by the general
titles OF textiles, hardware, pottery,
SneiS SOOuS, piuSheS, CuctIllCdlS, StC.,
which he found were being made at the
rates for labor which We have stated,
and all of which he saw exhibited in the
Kioto exposition OF 1895. This testimony
is corroborated by the report Of Mr..
Robert P. Porter, superintendent of the
18th census, who was sent to Japan as
a special commissioner last summer,
charged with the examination OF this
subject by the national association or
manufacturers. His report is now be-
ing distributed. II is not before us, but
the comment Of the association upon it,
In a circular issued February l, 1897, is
that. in certain lines in which japanese
activity has been most marked, it is i'm
possible for American manufacturers to
compete with their oriental rivals, who
enjoy the advantage Of a superabundant
supply OF intelligent and quickly adapt,
able labor. willing and eager to work for
wages which could not be made to sup.

"A Wheelman, OF Albany, says the EN-
press. hung his bicycle from the ceiling
OF his cellar. not far from a swinging
shelf on which food was kept. A mouse
jumped from the wall TO the tire of the
front wheel, evidently hoping thereby to
reach the shelf. The wheel started. and
the mouse naturally ran toward thehigh-

top OF the tire, but could moi get enough
OF a foothold to jump to the wall. When
found. next morning, it was very much
exhausted. though still running. The
