II the gold standard papers would
devote half as much Of their space
and talents to exposing Hannaism,
McKinleyism, D%ingleyism and the
other nefariOus Republicanisms as
they do to attacking Hon. W. }. Bry-
an and the Chicago Democratic plat
form, their time would be more valua-
bly, spent and their journals, a great
deal more interesting to nine-tenths
of their readers. They are blind to
the acts of the Republicans and can
only find time and space to attack
Bryan as though he were a dangerous
character, one likely to ruin the
American Republic and bankrupt the
country. Their visions are SO narrow
they can be spanned by a mosquito,
and their arguments SO shallow that
a thimble would hold them all. They
assume to possess the brains Of the
country, when as a matter OF fact
they have but the smallest quantity.
[Yazoo City Herald.
Yes, there are three or four papers
10 this State whose stock in trade is
to abuse and villify Mr.. Bryan. Every
remark uttered by the gentleman
is picked up by these papers and dis
torted to suit themselves. Even fail
minded Republicans accord to Mr.
Bryan a sincerity Of purpose in hi
advocacy Of bimetalism. When Ben

towards the cause he formerly fought
for. Thus it is with the desertcr'

A NORTHERN APPRECIATION OF The
SITUATION.

We reproduce the following very
sensible and timely article, which we
clip from the Philadelphia Press;
AS Is shown very clearly in the ar
ticIes the Press prints from the Soutn
to-day what the South Is suffering
from, Is not an epidemic OK yellow
fever so much as an epidemic OF crazed,
unscientifc and ridiculous quarantine
methods. AS has been pointed U 10
these columns before, the situation
that exists throughout Mississippi,
Louisiana, Alabama and partly In
Georgia and Florida suggests a state
of civilization not at all c~redltable,
and it is an eloquent plea for such q ma
tiopal quarantine as will prevent not
only the epidemic OF fever, but, what
is worse, the quarantine epidemic.
Unfortunately this is not likely TO
be the outcome. While v number OF
Southern newspapers and Southern
health officials recognize the value OF
a thoroughly equipped and uniform
quarantine service, the old local rights
and States rights ideas die hard. In
fact, the health officer of Savannah is
out ia an open letter blaming the
present ~dis0rganized condition OF
things on what he calls the "sensa-
| tiOnal reports Of the United States
marine hospital service" or course,
this is childish. as the spread OF the
disease itself and the DISCRIMINATION
OF business is due entirely to the crack.
Drained methods OF State and local
prevention that have ruled. The ma.
rine hospital service, while blamed fol
everything, must act in conjunction
with the State officials, who, too or
ten, do as they please, and make the
efforts of the most competent experts
Of no avail. a.,
The attack on the marine hespita
service Is, however, characteristic o.
the self.OpiniOnated health officers
who, after having turned the Souti
upside down, naturally want some on
to abuse, and so they attack the gen
eral government. At present the ex
tent OF the yellow fever Is insignia
cant and the decentralization out OF al
proportion TO the character OF the cp
idemic. 1t is clear, therefore, some
thing ought to be done. Certainl
: cities like New Orleans and Atlant
cannot contemplate a yearly occur
renee of quarantine crazes with pleas
ure. The best men Of the Soul
e should devise a plan this winter tina
+, will forever remove "yellOW FEVER
e from the sphere of local quarantin
5 and devise a system that will actual
control the disease and prevent II
: spread.
: We quite agree with the views e.
= pressed by the Philadelphia Press an
! would like many of our local quarar
\ tine officials to have the same apr
( CITATION of the futility Of the loci
: quarantine regulations as carried OF
3 by them. But, Of course, 1t is prett

The Memphis Commerclal.Appcal
properly remarks: "Some Of our
tlmorous Northern friends exhibit a
great deal OF fear OF yellow fever and
speak and write about II as II 1t were
more fatal than any other disease, but
a comparison Of figures will show that
fewer people die Of yellow fever IN
New Orleans than die Of sunstroke IN
Northern and Eastern cities. Tho
saffr0n-hued pest has been In New Or
leans for a month or SO and the deaths
do not exceed fifty. In the month Of
August, according to statistics com
piled by Mr.. Frederick L. Hoffman
and published In the October SAM
tartan, the number Of deaths from
sunstroke we're as follows: New YORK
726, Brooklyn $40, St. Louis la2, Phlla'

Washington SO and Chicago l7S. II
will be seen that there IL more danger
from exposure W ~sunstroke 10 New

Detention camp is now on the down

three Of whom are together doing
four hours post service. All the doc
tors but Drs. II. Shannon aud White
have been assigned to other duties
away from camp. A car load of tent
floor and cots left on Friday last for
DR.. Carter's quarantine camp in Lou

detention, are amusing themselves as
best they can, and among other
amusements they indulge In the
national game.
The hospital now contains four so
called yellow fever patients under
treatment, namely: Irving. Ramsay,
Walker and DR.. Ford. They are do
ing nicely up to date. There are two
suspicious cases, viz: Stephens and
Mamie Weis, the latter a girl OF |:
years from NcHcnry.

A CHEERFUL VIEW.

1t Is now a little over a month since
the prevailing fever was imported into
our town. We had TO record only
SIX deaths and some one hundred
and t~hirty-fve cases.
. Judging from the present outlook
the fever has done its work here, for
all those who have not as yet had it
may be considered immune. This be-
ing the situation, II is evident that the
quarantine regulations enforced now
against Scranton and p~aralyzing its
commerce and industries are mean
ingless and costly; for the longer they
prevail the longer II will take US to re.
cover from their disastrous effects.
Were it not for the quarantine, we
would now have thousands OF logs for
the saw mills floating down the river,
and many of the laborers who are de-
tanned elsewhere would be now ac-
lively engaged in the saw mills; were
it not for the quarantine, our mer-
chants would be daily receiving their
supply Of freight In good condition
and furnishing their customers 10 the
surrounding country.
But let US take a bright view OF the
situation; let US hope that the health
authorities acknowledging these. sad
facts and understanding the futility
of prolonging their drastic measures
will soon raise the quarantine agains,
this and other places enjoying
now the same favorable conditions
At any rate, let us hope that the wei
come visitor, Jack Frost, will soon pu'
an end to all our present and pas
troubles by throwing his mantle 0
peace over all the disagreements
wrangles, worries and anxieties y
the past summer.
Let US in fine hope that Scranton
