The New orleans Plcayune says that
the yellow fever has arrived too late to
be a seriou menace, and says: THE dis
ease has never become seriously danger
Gus or fatal unless 1t started In the hot
months OF May, June or July. From lSi7
to 1878 there were seven great epidemlcs
OF yellow fever; one began in January,
two in May, three in June and one in
July. In the whole thirty years there
was not single year In which the NOR
tally was very great unless the disease
got an early start"
1t is well known that the yellow fever
germ cannot become very active in low
temperature-there must be a steady
warm spell lasting continuously for
about two weeks before It can get fair
start. Fortunately It's present appear
ance in the south comes at time when
cooler weather is about due. even in
New orleans. Unless 1t turns out To be
an extraordinary season frost should be
due in that portion of the south in the
early part OF October, and the first sharp
frost always kills the germs.
Since the last great epidemic in New
Orleans there has been much advance in
sanitary science, and the appearance Of
case, or even several cases, now does
not cause the terror common on such ap-
pearances previous to that time. This Is
equally true OF other plaques which used
to terrify mankind. Yellow fever, chol-
era, small pox, the bubonlc plague and
other like diseases have been robbed of
their terrors by the improved sanitary
conditions In this country and in Europe,
the better knowledge of them by the
medical profession, and the improved
system of quarantine.
1t has been recently recalled that 400
years ago the bubonlc plague carried off
one fourth OF the entire population Of
Europe. This reminder came with the
epidemic of this dread disease which re-
Gently prevailed in India, where the san
itary conditions are miserable. Europe
was able, however to protect herself by
modern quarantine regulations, and not
withstandlng the terrible scourging In
dia received, there was little or no panic
outside of that country, The days when
the very appearance of these plaques
would strike terror to the heart are no
longer here. Science has learned to con-.
troll them and reduce their danger as a
menace to nations to the minimum.

The esteemed Register charges Lyman
Gage, secretary OF the United States
treasury, with Ignorance OF the first
principles underlying the money ques-
ton" Mr.. Gage Is a man of wide ex-
perlence in financial matters, and his
policies and opinions are endorsed by
many other meq Of large practical ex-
perience throughout the country. He is
not theorlst. The superior knowledge,
however, OF financial principles and cur
rency matters on the part Of the es-
teemed Register and Mr., william j. Bry-
an, while not based on a lifetime OF
practical experience, renders them per-
fectly competent not only to crlticIse Mr.
Gage and the great financial experts OF
the country, but to charge them with ig-
norance! No one doubts this for they
themselves have said II, and who knows
better than they that It does not need
a familiarity with, or the teachings OF,
practical methods 10 enable them to
speak upon the subject of the currency?
When theorists of this school predicted
ruin and disaster when John Sherman
resumed specie payments they knew all
about It, and sherman's ignorance aston

events proved the wisdom OF Sherman's
action, but that didn't change the opin-
ion of the financial medicine men,
though all the remainder of the world
applauded Sherman, and now all the
great experts In finance are again show
ing their ignorance totally ignoring the
superior knowledge OF the man from Ne
braska, whose only experience In financ-
Ing has been confined to collecting so
mucn per speech for preaching theories
which Nature and the immutable laws
OF trade have proven false,
This great country is willing to trust
the management OF IT'S financial policy
in the hands of Mr., Gage, who has the
prestige of being distinguished author
ity. Confidence everywhere prevails.
But what counts all this when the Popo-
cratic press and Its leaders and followers
regard the secretary as Ignorant of the
principles of the money question:" What
has confidence and smooth sailing to do
with the matter? What Is the difference
If the great heart of the business world
goes on throbbIng steadily? The quack
financial doctors believe 1t is all based
on ignorance just the same. 1t Is rather
n comfortable sort of ignorance, how
ever, and nobody but the financial quack
or the Popocratic editor is worrying
over It,
