".JEFFERSON STILL LIVES
UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA. June 16

UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA. June IS.
Crowds gathered here yesterday to hear
the address of the Hon. VIM. J. Bryan.
His subject was jefferson Still Lives
There is, he said, one great end to
which all must look, that is, to the great
level of humanity The purpose of all
society is to make humanity camp on a
little higher ground every generation.
There are other questions which bind US
together, political questions, not in par
tisan sense. The question is whether the
Government shall be good or bad Our
system permits our Government to be as
good Government as all the people will
make it. Government is a composite of
all those who live under it,
jefferson it was who comprehended
more clearly than any of his associates
the capacity of the people for self-govern-
ment and at the same time knew their
own weakness. 1t was his wise apprehe, :
sion of what is vital that led him to re-
gard as the three great achievements of
his life, the writing of the Declaration of
American Independence, which gave free
dom to men the authorship of the statute
of religious liberty, which made man res
ponsible for his life to God, and the Uni
versity of Virginia, the cap-stone of the
system of free schools. devised by Jeffer-
son and in my judgment the best that was
ever devised by any man"

We publish this week the second of
the series of articles which are being
prepared under the auspices of the
Maryland Democratic Editors .Asso-
citation. 1t seeks to point out upon
what an insecure basis the party now
dominant in Maryland rests, and how,
if this power is perpetuated, the State
may suffer evil consequences. The
article presents strong and undeniable
facts that deserve the serious attention
of both white and coiored citizens who
have the welfare of the commonwealth
at heart If the colored voters of
Southern Maryland could feel patriot
ism enough to rise above party when
the occasion demands it, they world
soon realize what advantages they are
denying themselves and learn how o.
ten they stand in the way of their own
advancement, by displaying the parti-
san spirit which seems so universally
to inspire them.

NO DANGER OF CONTRACTION.

Since Mrs. Mary SaGsone, the leper,
was received at the Johns Hopkins Hos
pital inquiries have been made as to the
nature of leprosy and the extent to which
it is contagious The following inquiry
sent to The Sun is one of many that have
recently been made:
is there the slightest danger of con-
tracing leprosy by visiting the Johns
Hopkins Hospital exclusive of the isola-
ing ward where the leper is kept: In
other words, is there any danger in visit
ing the private wards or in coming in
contact with nurses and doctors about the
grounds, corridors and nurses homes?"
DR.. Henry NJ. Hurd, superintendent of
the hospital, said Sunday night: There
is not the slightest menace to patients or
visitors. If there had been, We would not
have kept the woman here. Leprosy is
very greatly misunderstood and its dam
gers exaggerated. The liability of conta-
gion is almost entirely in using the same
knives and forks and drinking from the
same vessel as the leper. A colony of
lepers in Nova Scotia has been cared for
over sixty years by band of nuns, and
not one of these nurses ever contracted
the disease. There are settlements Of
lepers in Minnesota and Wisconsin, but
no case is recorded where the disease was
communicated. The woman at the Johns
Hopkins is completely isolated and there
is 20 possibility of contagion.'
This inquiry is an illustration of
straining at a gnat and swallowing a
camel, said Dr.. William Os!er, professor
of the principles and practice of medicine
at the Johns Hopkins University. People
get their ideas OF the horrors of leprosy
from the Bible and Ben Hur." Leprosy
is not near So easily communicated as
tuberculosis and some other diseases that
are prevalent in this country. In the
Sandwich Islands and other places where
leprosy is common its extent is largely
due to the uncleanly habits of the people.
The woman now at the Johns Hopkins
Hospital could live in her own house,
under tie supervision of health officials,
and rot be a source of danger to those
about her. There is a leper settlement in
Minnesota, where those affected live in
their own homes ard pursue their occupa-
tons. No one has ever been tainted by
them
Mrs. Mary Sausone is in an isolated
room III an isolated ward. Everything
for her use IS kept distinctly separate and
is separately clcansed and purified

HAWAIIAN TREATY.

The treaty for the annexation ofthe
Hawaiian Islands reached the Senate
chamber at o'clock Wednesday after
noon. The Senate at once went into
executive session, and as soon as the
doors were closed the message of Presi-
dent Mckinley accompanying the trea-
ty and the treaty itself were read to
the Senate. They were attentivcly
listened to.
The treaty proved to he simple
document of six articles, based in its
essential details upon the treaty nego-
tiated by Hon. John W. Foster during
the administration of President Harri-
son. The islands are cedcd practically
without conditions. leaving the United
States to pursue its own course with
reference to their management. The
first article reads as follows:
"The government of the Hawaiian
Islands hereby cedes, from the date of
the exchange of the ratitications ofthis
treaty, absolutely and without reserve
to the United States forever all rights
and sovereignty of whatsoever Kind in
and. over the Hawaiian Islands and
their dependencies, renouncing in favor
of the United States every sovereign
right of which, as an Independent ma
ton, it is now possessed; and hence
forth said Hawaiian Islands shall be-
come and he an integral part Of the
territory of the United States

The injection of venom into the con-
tests of politics is both senseiess and
unmanly The person who cannot
control his bitterness during the tur-
moil of politics is wOefuliy lacking in
the attributes of man. The man Of
honor who is also the man oi'character
abominates malice and repudiatcs spite.
He conducts his politics in a spirit of
friendly amiability. If this were the
universal practice there would he less
outbreaks of temper, fewer hot words
of anger, no misunderstanding or
quarrels; while perpetual and con-
tinuous harmony would pervade the
political atmosphere. The lowering
storms of discord are famed into beng
more often by the winds of personal
rancor than by any other causes posi-

"THE ATE CO.
BANS"

The following report Of the condi-
ton of affairs in Cuba is heart-sick-
ening, and seems scarcely possible i'll
this enlightened age. That civilized
people can be willing to permit Spain
to practice such barbarities will seem
incomprehensiblet to future generations.
A correspondent of the Cincinnati En-
9M::rer writes: 'More than l 900 per-
sons die every day in Cuba now as the
result of the famine and the disease,
due to General Weyler's enforced re-
concentration of pacifcos. General
Weyler is reaping tie crop. and the
result will horrify the world. This
fertile land is weary beyond measure
of Weyler and war. Next month there
cannot but he another jump in the
death rate. In May it was more than
twice as great as it was in March.
Now come the rains, and with them
an increase in yellow fever, typhus,
which is already in the field, and all
the enteric disorders to which recon-
centrados are particularly liable.
Even were war stopped Row there
would be $4,000 OF 1900 deaths be-
fore bettered condition OF the strick-

that it Is true is here.

n view of the fact that my name for

in Omaha by a representative of the

est Office and equipment for his spec.
ialties of any man in that city. He is
always exceedingly busy, but found a
few moments to talk, in which he had
the following to say: sYes, expect to
make another trip through the Hills
this summer which will be the third
time / have been to Deadwood and I
do no mean to miss visit to the
Springs this time.
ut is great relief to me to get away
from the city even for a few days and
j combine business with pleasure in
these trips as it enlarges my circle of
acquaintance and gives many who live
SO far away from here an opportunity
of having their work done at much less
expense than if they were obliged to
come to Omaha for this express pur-
pose.
s'Yes, it is great deal of trouble to
carry SO many instruments with me for
lifting glasses, but do not feel that 1
can do my work justice unless have
them. -->''
'You know that we are going to have
one of the greatest expositions that
ever took place in this country here
next year and as am perhaps younger
somewhat than other good men in this
city in my line feel it great advan-
tage to me to make as many acquain-
tances as possible through the west, as
you know we expect to see you all here
next year.
=, II wish you would say for me
through your paper that 1 will add
nothing to my regular prices while in
your city and that anyone who is hay-
ing trouble with their eyes are welcome
to call on me for consultation, even
though they are not prepared to have
their work done at that time. No, I
am not going to stop in Hot Strings but
two or three days now as have sever
al very urgent requests from parties
in Deadwood to come there for day
from the Springs and I feel that it
would hardly be best for me to be
away from home more than week at
present as am going to the Yellow
stone park for visit tho last week in
August.
81 am very glad you found the arti-
cles taken from the Omaha paper in
teresting to your readers and will send
you clipping of anything that may
come out in the fnture"

Bufralo Gap Post once Robbed.

On Tuesday night the post office at
Buffalo Gap was broken into, the safe
blown open, and about 800 in money
and stamps stolen.
Editor Ballou later said that he was
only joking about the loss, as he had
fortunately taken the money to that
amount home with him that night and
had not left it in the safe as usual.
They got only s1.3O, leaving some
stamps. The safe was ruined. The
robbers made attempts to effect an
entrance into several other buildings.
but were unsuccessful.
