In the excitement in this country over

seems to have been forgotten that the
geological conditions that give rise to the
presence of the yellow metal in Alaska
which are similar to those that cause the
Californian deposits are also prevalent

september's Heat.

A cool summer is ending with hot
spell OF greater severity and length than
any other that has been locally endured
this year. The present temperatures are
the more unpleasant because of the expec-
taton that all people reasonably entertain
that when the calendar advances to this
point there will be seasonable drop In
the mercury. But it IL to be remembered
that almost every September brings its
heated spell. sometimes lasting but few
days. and at other times marking the
greater part of the month. Indeed many
tourists so time their homecoming that
they avoid the chance of being roasted
after having enjoyed the cool breexes Of
mountain ard seashore. It ID not likely.

Thus far the yellow fever In the vicinity
OF New Orleans and the other cities near
tie mouth of the Mississippi has been kept
within narrow limits. The disease does
not seem to have developed into a viruIent
form or to have spread with Its usual rapid
ity. Whether this be due to the prompt
measures taken to prevent the ccmmurI-
cation of the germs OR to the condition
OF tine atmosphere In the infected region
Is not now plain II Is a peculiar feature
of this and many other epidemic diseases
that they do not always thrive with the
same virUlence under what seem on the
surface to be exactly similar conditions
II will be good fortune IL 1t transpires that
the atmospheric elements are at present
unfavorable to the multiplication and
spread OF the bacilli Yet the danger of
the development Of an epidemic of greater
or less severity Is not yet over. and there
can be no safe relaxation of all efforts both
state and national. until frost has made
its appearance.
The chances that the dread experiences
OF 1873 Will be even In q minor measure
repeated are now apparently slight That
year was marked by one OF the worst Wis.,
itations Of deadly disease that this country
ever experienced. and Is well within the

citizens. irrespective Of their place Of resi-

put into port from Havana and was detain-
ed at quarantine only ten hours. Two days
later her purser died of a disease strongly
suspected to be yellow fever: Other cases
developed from this vessel. but there was
no fear of a general outbreak until July,
when. early in that month, suspicious cases
began to be reported from a certain neigh
borhood. Two other plague centers soon
appeared and in a few days the city was
In the grasp Of the fever. 1t spread thence
to many other cities and in a few weeks
was raging throughout the south. 1t con-
tinued until late In October, and in its
course caused 1900 deaths. In New Or

which was even more severely visited, 1900
lost their lives. In New Orleans. and
presumably In other centers. the death
rate was highest in September, when the
fever was raging most furiously.
This terrible visitation, Of course, caused
untold suffering. even among those whom
the fever did not attack. and thousands Of
people were destitute. for the scourge
choked practically all the lines Of trade
and business and entire communities were
without means of support. To aid these
and to defray the enormous expenses of
the fight to suppress the epidemic contri-
buttons were sent from all parts of the
country, and indeed thousands of dollars
were received from foreign countries. In
all sum close upon S4OO,OOO was put by
this means into the hands of the Howard
Association, the chief channel Of this form
of aid. New York city alone sent over
$4,000.
New Orleans had previously been visited
by serious outbreaks of the fever, suffering
in 1917, 1853, 1855. 1858 and 1867. An out
break Of comparatively minor severity &C.
Cured in 1879. but since then the citv's
drainage system has been gradually i'm
proved and with the application of more
stringent rules of public sanitation and
quarantine the epidemics have become more
rare and less severe. Yet in these later
years there has been no dimunition of the
menace afforded by the wretched condition
Of Cuba and especially Havana harbor
which Is one Of the worlds most prolific
breeding grounds for the germs Of this
and other fatal epidemic diseases Until
this important port shall be cleaned out
and regulated by wise and stringent laws
tending to preserve the public health the
western continent will never be free from
the threat of frequent visitations Of this
plague.

The Monetary Commission.

Announcement Is made of the names of
nine of the eleven members to compose the
monetary commission recommended by the
monetary convention which met at In
cianapolis in January. The east. the south,
the northwest and the middle states are
represented, and presumably the west will
be when the list is completed.
This tody Is charged with the duty Of
preparing a bill and report for presentation
TO Congress bearing on the question of cur
rency reform. 1t is non-partisan In both
character and purpose. 1t is wholly with
cut official authority. 1t represents only
the desire of the business interests of the
country to have the whole question of the
currency Investigated by competent body
of men not in politics and therefore under
no sort of political influence. The COM
rnission Will now organize. and will doubt
less conclude it's labors in time to submit
the result for use when Congress meets in
regular session
Ex-senator Edmunds heads the list of
commissioners and ex-Secretary of the
Treasury FairchiId is second on it. Both
are able and estimable men. One Is a re-
publican, the other democrat. Both have
had experience which especially qualities
them for the work they are about to I'M
dertake. Mr. Edmunds as a member of
tie Senate. helped frame and to pass a
good deal of the financial legislation now
on the be oks. while Mr.. Fairchild in the
Treasury Department during Mr.. Cleve-
lands first term, first assistant secre-
tary and then as secretary, had oppor-
tunity to study the whole currency ques-
ton pretty thoroughly. Their associates
on the commission are not so widely
known. but they are representative men
and will bring to the work much practi cal
There is still a disposition in certain
quarters to pooh-pooh this commission and
its work. Those who take this view insist
that the currency does not need reforming
and therefore that any agitation Of the
subject can only do harm. In reply to
this 1t may be stated, and Is to be remem-
Dered, that Congress next winter is GER
tain to take up the subject of the cur
rency for discussion. and maybe for some
action What harm can come then from
the full preparation of the case from the
practical business standpoint? An inquiry
by non-partisan, unofficial commission
will not be agitation. The commission has
no power over Congress or over the cur
rency. Its purpose is merely to suggest
The whole thing, indeed. Is only one form
of exercising the right of petition. Harm
1t cannot do: but some good is easily to be
conceived as within it's power.

Labor.

Samuel Gompers, President American Federation o,
Labor.
In my Judgment. the outlook for the fall
and winter is fairer than 1t has been for
some time. and I look forward to an early
revival of industry during the coming
year. 1t seems to me proper to say that
there Is no political significance to these
changed conditions, or even to the revival
which feel will come. Politics or political
parties have as little to do with 1t as the
poles are apart. 1t is entirely due TO nat
ural conditions; the old has been worn out;
the new must replace it, and the wage
earners have determined to become larger
sharers in the product of their labor. The
miners strike. though in itself confined to
one industry. has infused courage and
hope among the workers and a determine
ton to organize and be free.

Business md Politics.

1t is stated in the dispatches that the
meeting of the gold democrats at Column
bus, Ohio, yesterday. to nominate a state
ticket and adopt a platform was not as
largely attended as had been expected.
Then follows this sentence:
The leaders Of the parry express them
selves as well satisfied, however, and at
tribute the small attendance to the fact
that business men generally are less appre-
hers1ve on the money question than a year
ago.
If this explains the apparent lack of in
terest in the convention in business circles,
the sound money leaders nave reason to be
anything but satisfied. 1t is true that un-
easiness as 10 the public credit is not so
great this year as 1t was last, but the dan
ger point has not been passed by any man
ner OF means. To appreciate this one has
only to look about him. The silver men
are still in the field in force. Mr. Bryan is
still drawing card on the stump. There
is. 1t is true, but little left of the argument
advanced last year for free coinage at 16
to 1, but the very fact that in the face of
this the silver men continue so aggressive
is worthy of careful note. How can sound
money men anywhere afford to overlook it
or to fail to derive instruction from it?
Can they afford to disband or to grow reg
hgent while the enemy is still in front
active under the old and still -eyered
leader?
Last years fight was won by a substan-
tial and assuring margin, but only after
ca mpaign made memorable for hard work
and cordial cooperation. The business in
terests were thoroughly aroused, and had
every reason to be. They contributed
much toward the victory achieved They
are profting now, as they deserve to profit
by the restoration Of confidence and the
advance In conditions generally. This was
what was promised them in thu event of
sound money success. this was what they
worked for, and this is what they are fully
entitled to enjoy. But the fruits of the
victory are yet to be made secure. It will
not 90 for business men to withdraw from
further activity in the field. On the con-
trary, they should be as alert and as
earnest for the cause as they were last
year. They may be very certain that II

Honest Wealth.

A great deal is heard in these days about
attacks on the rights Of property, and it is
Inoeeo unfortunate that the wild and revo-
lutionary talk of certain class of agita-
tors should find even as much response as
1t does among part of the population. But
let wealth remember the duties 1t owes to
society, and the dangers that menace its
rights will vanish and the power of the
revolutionary agitator will cease Let
wealth pay its fair proportion OF taxes:
let 1t help rather than hinder the work of
securing revenue system that will make
1t easier to apporticn the burdens of tax
alton fairly and equitably among the mem
bers of the community. Let honest wealth
array itself on the side CT the public and
honest government when INSCRIPTIONS
wealth is trying to plumber the public. In
short. let wealth remember the RESPONSE
bilities which it owes to society, and the
rights which 1T claims will be accorded
without question.

Gothnm's PhiInnthropic Milkman.

From the New York >Times g..
IL Is public misfortune that Mr.. Nathan
Straus should feel called ,Inon - - a., :,
the supplying of milk at cheap rate.
which he has so long and generously car
rfed on. That he should be exceedingly
annoyed by the arrest of his employe re-
cently-which was constructively his own
arrest, and was in some papers announced
as his arrest-for Offering milk below the
standard of richness required by law is
natural. The incident certainly showed
zeal untempered by discretion. While the
law must be enforced equally against all.
the presumption is simply conclusive that
a philanthropist Offering milk at no profit
Is not cheating his beneficiaries, and that
any defect In single can of milk is an ac-
cident. In any case, Mr.. Straus may be
assured that his reputation with the public
Is not affected. and that he really receives
the gratitude and respect which he so
clearly deserves.

Norfolk and Yellow Fever in 1858.
From the Richmond Dispatch

Virginia has suffered only one visitation
OF yellow fever. That was in 1853, when
the disease got a fast hold in Norfolk. and
we do not apprehend a second visitation
Still, the experience of 1855 warns US that
we can never call ourselves safe, and con-
sidering the great development of the COM
merce of Newport News and Norfolk dur
ing recent years, the quarantine offioe rs of
those ports cannot be too vigilant between
now and frost in inspecting all vessels ar
irving from the south, and especially coast
