National Quarantine.

It would appear that some Mobile pa- pers would rather continue to have the yellow fever the year around than to have national system of quarantine. which can control the disease and keep it out of the country altogether. There is no politics dn the subject of caring for the health of the people. Mobile, under dts local regulations, is the dirtiest city of its size in the world, and one would suppose that with the experience had in that city during the past three months, where numerous people have died, hun dreds have been sick and all business gone the people would at least have consideration enough for themselves, if not for the other parts of the state. to be willing to have a system of quara ntine that will quarantine.
 It is true it would deprive few Mo bile doctors from some free adverfis- ing which they are now getting should they be cut off from strutting before the public as the guardians of the people against disease If the citizens of Mo- bile will not keep their own city clean, the people of the state at large will take a hand and do what they believe is their duty fer self-protection.
 This being the case. they will demand from their representatives in congress that a natoral quarantine law be en- acted. The general goya rnment will be able to keep the fever out of Mobile, and when kept out of that city 1t will be kept out of the stale, and at the same time it will be able to see tha& Mobile is cleaned up, and remove the filth upon which the fever feeds. There will be national quarantine law, and when it is enacted it will be enforced, to ithe bene- fit of the people of the state.
