Even the anarchist is made harmless
by Mckinley times. The annual outing
and picnic of the anarchists of New
York and vicinity. on Monday, was a
very mild affair indeed. Five years
ago more than 10000 sympathizers of
the red faith assembled at a similar
affair. Monday not more than $50 men,
women and children, all told.w pres

quiet in their behavior that the occa-
sion was like a good humored family
picnic They drank an enormous
amount of beer, but no one was in
toXicated, and there was no vociferous
demonstration, although the outing was
sort of farewell to Herr Most, who

The most effective reform of an an
archist takes place when he becomes
a capitalist or real estate owner.
Then if he is a resident of this country
he is reasonably certain to abandon the

A Grave Danger.

The irony of fate is illustrated by the
startling announcement that yellow
fever has made its appearance a fam
Gus health resort of the South. Ocean
Springs, Miss, is situated on Biloxi
Bay, about eighty-four miles from New
Orleans. 1t is "A watering place much
sought by fashionable society and that
the visitors should leave their home in
search of Ievivifying sea air only to run
into the arms of scourge from which
they would flee across vast continents
Is a pathetic instance of the uncertain
ty of life, and an added proof to the
mind of the fatalist that it is useless
to attempt to avoid destiny.
The victim whose case has been so
thoroughly diagnosed as to warrant
the official bulletin of yellow fever was
a lad of IS, son of prominent New
orleans family. He was removed to his
home while suffering from the fever,
thus increasing the danger of infection.
Every effort has been made to prevent
its spread in New orleans and it is eX-
rccted that as this was an imported
case there will be no further cause for
alarm.
Ocean Springs was deserted as soon
as the truth was known that a number
Of persons were suffering or had died
from attacks of yellow fever Quaran-
tine has now been established and the
board of health considers that the
scourge will soon be stamped out, par
ticularly as the lateness of the season
is point in favor.
There are conflicting statements
made regarding the invasion of the dis
case. One of the sources alleged is that
the drainage of Ocean Springs is dis
charged directly into the bay and that
the rains wash a large amount of ex-
crcta. upon the area where temporary
oyster beds are located. These oysters
are consumed by residents of Ocean
Springs and the disease is thus spread

An Important Problem.

A writer in the Globe-Domocrat, after
citing figures showing. the eXtraordi-
nary scarcity of cereals in Europe, a
shortage which cannot entirely be sup
piled by exports of American wheat
large as these exports will be, states
timely fact when he asserts the neces-
sty for renewed fort, first to popular
liz American corn in Europe and next
10 provide a better system for its dis
tribution in our own country.
THAT" says he, there is always
demand for every bushel of corn the
West can produce, every one who
knows the real condition of the consum-
ing markets knows. Last spring, when
cases of starvation were repeatedly re-
ported in New York and London, great
piles of corn lay in the furrows along
the Western railroad tracks, unmarked
ed at the beginning of plowing for this
years crops. No explanation of why it
was not marketed has really explained
anything at all. All that can be said
with any approach to accuracy is that
we could not do it because we did not
know enough. With millions starving
in India and more corn in the West
than can be fed to the hogs into which
the West is endeavoring to convert it
to cheaper freights and raise it's price,
it is certainly not overproduction, but
underdistribution, which troubles us.
We have studied production until, with
high priced labor, we can give a larger
output than any other country, but in
| doing so we have got far beyond our
abilities to market. Our wheat surplus
is fairly dragged out by a demand
| which, at one price or another, takes
all we can spare, but when it is a ques-
| tion of getting our corn to people who
are starving for it we show that though
we have become by all odds the best
| producers in the world, we are still at
| the very beginning of our education as
| distributors"
| Just how this education is to be facil-
itated save through the operation of
| necessity the. Globe-Democrat CORES
| pondent does not say. But with a corn
crop exceeding 2,OOO,O0O,O bushels,
much of which goes into the stove as
fuel in default of market at the same
| time that millions in India, thousands
in Europe and not a few in the con-
gested centers of our own population are
either starving outright or suffering
from lack of sufticiency of nutritious
food, the problem which this writer
outlines is indeed an important one, and
we may safely assume that it will not
long remain insOluble. This seems an
especially opportune time to urge it's
solution.
If the oyster is proved to be the dis
seminator of yellow fever his four
months vacation will be indefinitely

Bill Cooks horse ran away yesterday,
No one was injured but the horse looks
disappointed. The accident was caused
by flaming sign erected in the interest
of Quaker oats. Bill was driving down
Nugget avenue, at gentle amblc when
the horse soied the oats sign and made
Dash for the painting. Bill was thrown
out, but sustained no serious injury. The
peculiar action of the horse has been a
matter of comment and surprise, as it is
said that the animal has never been used
to oats since it has been owned by Bill.

The Convention.

The key note to the proper attitude
of the Republicans of Lackawanna
county was sounded in the forceful
speeches of Permanent Chairman
Lowry and Captain Moir; a good ma
tured canvass has been made for the
various nominations, the convention
has indicated its choice, and the duty
of Republicans it to accept the verdict
and fall into line. Some momentary
disappointment is inevitable after so
spirited a contest, but when this shall
have passed away the same cordial
support of the common party cause
may not unfairly be expected of the
vanquished as they themselves would
have expected, and rightfully expect
ed Of the present victors had the con-
test resulted differently.
The ticket chosen yesterday is one
that invites public confidence and can
be supported by every sincere Repub-
lican conscientiously and with enthus-
iasm. Messrs. Pryor, Jones and Huest-
er are already known to the voters of
the county in an official capacity and
their respective records speak eloquent
ly for them. OF their colleagues, the
nominee for prothonotary, Mr.. Cope
land. is one of the best known and most
public spirited citizens of Carhondale;
Mr.. Langstaff, the nominee for county
treasurer, has by long service on the
school board and in other positions of
puhlic usefulness made himself de-
servedly popular in the city of Scran-
ton; Mr.. Daniels, the nominee for clerk
of the courts, is bright young Re
publican of the West Side, whom the
party is most happy to promote after
his long and faithful service in the
clerks Office as deputy; Mr.. Beck, the
nominee for register, is a creditable
representative of the stalwart Repub-
licanism of south of the mountain
and Mr.. Virgins, the nominee for jury
ing type of the alert young Republi-
canism of the central city.
Consideration in detail of the loca
issues entering into the county can.
Vass this fall may well be deferred
until the campaign shall assume def.
mite shape; but at this time it i:
proper to say that the Republican party
of Lackawanna county, in support o.
its present excellent ticket, is pre-
pared to wage an aggressive battle al
along the line, and will roll up in No
vember another splendid victory.

of health and the representatives OF the

is affirmed by Southern physicians high
in authority that nothing worse than
dengue fever would have to be fought.
Dengue, sometimes called dandy
and "break-bone' fever, is a febrile
epidemic disease occurring chiefly in
the West Indies and southern states. 1t
is characterized by severe pain, partic-
ularly in the joints, and an eruption
resembling measles. The attack is vio-
lent but brief, and seldom fatal. New
York and Philadelphia boards of health
apprehend little danger from the dis
case in the North and every precaution
has already been taken at the ports.
The immunity enjoyed from epidemics
of all kinds in our greatest cities of
the North is a witness to the prompt
measures and vigilance of the officials
in charge of the health departments,
and their example could be initiated by
the South to the welfare of the country.

THREE NAVAL NEEDS.
From the Philadelphia Press.

FROM the 1hllddelpnla l'feSs,
The United States still needs more bat
tleships than it has, but just at present it
needs these things more than battleships:
/. A fleet of torpedo boats and destroy
ers''-simply large torpedo beats. able to
keep at sea in all weatEer-.is indispensa-
BILE for the defense of our shallow coast
Useless without battleships, with the bat
tleships we have a swarm OF these small
active vessels would be able to meet
large fleet of battleships, and a dozen
torpedo boats can be built for one battle
ship,
2. Three dry docks are needed equal to
the docking of any battleship, one on
the North Atlantic coast, one On the South
Atlantic coast and one on the Gulf. With
out this our battleshDs are as useless
as a horse would be to a man who had
bought a $4,000 trotter and had no stable
i'm which to put him.
3. An adequate plant for armor Such
a plant would cost more at first but in
the end it would be cheaper, just as gov

Increase



Having pointed out what he considers
the cause of the extraordinary increase
in federal expenditure, Mr. Pitncy sug-
gests these alternative remedies:
% To restore all the appropriation
bills to the control of the appropriations
committee, so as to put an end to divided
responsibility.
(2D To cIothe the ways and means
committee with the sole power to recon-
mend the amounts to be appropriated
for the different branches of the service

for raising the necessary revenues to
defray the expenditures; or If 1t be round
that the present system of dividing up
the appropriation bills among the Diff
ferent committees is too firmly rooted 10

Cd To create new committee to be

itary affairs, naval affairs, Indian affairs,
foreign affairs. postofiices agriculture
and rivers and harbors, comprising all
the committees now having charge of

give to this committee adequate control
over the whole subject

done to check the persistent ana steadily
growing drain upon the pockets of the
people, and Mr.. Pitney's suggestion is
deserving of serious thought. But we
