state control OF Quarantine.

A bill pending before the Florida legis-
lature proposes that the state shall turn
over to the federal government all quar-
antine stations and buildings and permit
the government to take full charge of the
quarantine system.
Florida's quarantine may cost a good
deal OF money, and it is probably no more
than right that the government should
bear part of the expense. But Florida
would do a bad thing for herself if she
were to surrender the guardianship of her
public health to the general experiment.
With the quarantine in federal hands,
the commerce of Tampa, Jacksonville,
Pensacola, Key West and other ports
might be cut off without a moments no
tice and without local consent. And on
the other hand. the red tape of the gov
ernments hospital service might cause
snail-like movements towards the check
ing of disease when CELEBRITY was demand
ed. If the Floridians will revert to the
incident of the bark Soil Dec Gloria,
which went ashore on Amelia Island sew
eral years ago, with fever among her
crew, they will have at hand an instance
illustrating how much red tape there
sometimes is in the governments marine
hospital service.
Southern states and ports should fight
against federal control of the quarantine.
We do not want federal interference or
assistance in any matter in which such
interference or assistance is not absolute
ly necessary. 1t is not the function of the
general government to run state institu-
tons. including the quarantine. We are
able to take care of ourselves.
1t would be an easy matter for federal
quarantine at southern ports to he oper-
ated in the interest of the northern ports.
All that would be necessary would be a
declaration that the southern ports were
closed. for quarantine reasons and in the
interest of the public health; and their
commerce would be stopped. Meanwhile
the northern ports would remain open,
nominally because they were less liable
to Infection; and they would get the trade
There are various local considerations
which the national quarantine authorities
would not take into account.
AS matter of fact, the general govern
ment is governing altogether too much
now. 1t is not good policy to let 1t govern
more. Instead of giving it more power,
Il should have less. State quarantine may
be little more costly but 1t is safe, and
conserves our rights

Holds a One-Man Power.
From the PhIIadeIphia LEDGER ina.

Senator Jones of Nevada, by virtue of
his peculiar position on the Senate
finance committee, holds a one-man power
with regard to the tariff. Within certain
limits to be defined only by the forbear-
ance OF his fellow senators. he can modify
that instrument to suit himself, or posi-
bly, suppress it entirely. He suggested 10
his fellow committeeman on Saturday a
large number of changes which he would
like to have made in the bill as it came
from the House. and the prospect is that,
for the sake of getting the document
promptly before the Senate, the commit
tee will comply with his demands, as II
it does not. Mr.. Jones may make a great
deal OF trouble for It. He can make n
great deal of trouble for the Senate itself
If It is indisposed to let him shape this
important piece of legislation, and quite
probably he win have his way about IL
in the end. But II his amendments are
unsatisfactory. as some of them are GER
tain to be. the country will hold the Sem
ate responsible and not Senator Jones.

The Beers of the Transvaal are armIng
themselves and getting ready to resist any
possible attack by England upon their ter
ritory. President Kruger has an army of
about 400 artillerymen and about q, 900
lighting burghers, and they are all fight
ers, too England is still clamoring for
the rights of the utlanders, though they
are unwilling to abide by the constitution
of the Transvaal and qualify as citizens.
1t may be true that the foreigners have
acquired most of the wealth of the coun-
try. But If they intended to remain there
and become permanent citizens, there
might be more reason in their claim that
they should have some voice in the man
agement of the government which means
that they want to take It entirely out or
the hands Of the Beers. The trouble with
England is she wants control of the coun-
try, aud If she cannot acquire Il by sehem-
ing. she will go to war for it. The princi-
pal crime" of DR.. Jameson was his fall
ure of success. The Beers are well pre-
pared for an emergency, and backed up
al they may be by Germany, and proba-
bly, by France, England will hardly have
an easy time acquiring the territory.

The Atlnntn Conrt MARTIAL.

1t was made perfectly clear during the
course of the court martial at Fort Nc
Pherson, Atlanta, just concluded that
the matter at issue was of a social rather
than a military character. A hair-brained
young "masher' of a petty officer Tilted
the daughter of captain, and out of this
circumstance grew the whole trouble. The
captain, instead Of Shaping the face of
the young chap. congratulating his daugh-
ter upon her escape, and letting it go at
that. seems to have conceived it to be his
duty to punish somebody for alternating
the affections of the young fop from the
lucky young lady. 1t seems that in carry
ing out his purpose the captain ran afoul
of one or two interdictions in the articles
OF. war, in that he talked too much, and
knocked down a fellow officer upon the
parade ground. For these things he was
hauled up before a court martial, upon the
complaint of the officer who got knocked
down.
During the course of the trial, the &C
cused and the charges against him were
only side issues to almost everybody TAX
ing notice of the affair, except possibly
the judges, the counsel and the principals
The woman in the case and the young
masher were the persons on trial, before
the bar of public opinion. They should
not have been brought to that bar. in that
manner. But the court was held in public,
giving the newspapers the privilege of
publishing the testimony and Incidents,
which they proceeded to do with sensa-
tional embellishments.
The trial should not have been held in
public. The publicity was not conducive
to the good Of the army service, nor to the
edification of the public. And a woman
must suffer because of it, no matter what
may be the verdict of the court.

GENERAL NOTICES.

THE DEPTHS TO WHICH SOME pEO-
pie can descend in their efforts TO IN
Jure others through motives of envy or
otherwise was recently eXempified in
Sacramento. Some wretChed creature
wrote to the headquarters of the South
ern Pacific Company in San Francisco
stating that Mr.. Al Becker, one of the
company's general foremen, was finan-
cially interested with me, John Bow
man, in the Court Cafe at Seventh and
L streets. OF course the statement is
malicious falsehood without any
foundation whatever. 1t was no doubt
the work of some one desirous of iniur-
ing my business, which is and has been
prosperous ever since l took hold of the
Court Cafe. The wretch ought to be
caught and exposed. Such a disreputa-
bic and cowardly trick deserves 10 be
punished as severely as the law will
allow. do not depend upon the tinan-
c1al backing of anybody but rely for
success upon treating the public right
