Liberia by the steamer Labrador. in

in the United States turned out to be abb
solutely no good. They assert that
more than half the Labrador's party are
dead, and that the rest of them are try

Waites and Farmers say in conclusion.

the Liberian republic is most unhealthy.

Unabashed by his failure with the
surreptitious section % of the Dingley
act, Senator Elkins announces his pur-
pose to bring in a discriminating bill
against foreign shipping in the next ses-

is to protect American railroad and
steamship companies from foreign COM
petition. The senator does not seem to
realize that in doing this he is doing so
at the expense of the great American
people, and they may be heard from on
the situation.

The attention of Mayor Hancock is
called 10 an article in the Texas Medical
News, published by Drs. j. w. Me
Laughlin and II. j. Bennett, entitled
yellow Fever-1ow Its Epidemic
Spread May BE Arrested or Prevented"
The article shows that yellow fever
germs flourish and multiply in a peculiar
mould found in cities. This enforces at
tcntion to the great Importance of using
lime in all back yards, shady and damp
places where mould usually accumulates.
Mayor Hancock should see to it that
lime is used. and used freely, and the
city should furnish it to the poor Dur
ing past epidemics on the coast the city
did this and it was kept remarkably
healthy and the community was not
troubled with yellow fever nightmare.

No Intervention Between the United

No Intervention Between the united
states and Spain.
London, Sept. 29.-The Berlin CORE
spondent of the Daily News says:
The statement that the German and
Austrian emperors have decided to inter-
vene between the United States and Spain
il utterly unfounded. Public opinion here
favors Spain, but there is no question of
the German abinet making itself a cats
paw for Spain, while Austrian diplomacy
will not allow its foreign policy to be in
Huenced by certain dynastic interests. Even
apart from that consideration Austria can
do nothing against the United States. 1t
is pointed out here that France has by far
the greatest financial interest in Spain,
and as republic could, with more moral
weight, stand up against the unjust asplra-
tons of another republic. Should the
other powers send a protest, to Washing
ton Germany would not be likely to Keep
aloof. but that is all. Her commercial in
terests in the United States are too great
to be staked for Spanish rule in Cuba.

When the suspicious case of yellow
fever was in Beaumont the Houston peo-

or not they would furnish Beaumont with
some necessary groceries and the like,
replied that Beaumont had better get
their goods from New Orleans. The ia
bles are now turned. 1t would stand
Beaumont people well in hand to either
offer to sell Houston goods or wire them
that they can get their goods from New
Orleans.

The yellow fever scare has forcibly
demonstrated that the quarantine law of
Texas needs amending. Quarantine is
too serious thing to be left in the
hands of irresponsible and badly fright
ened communities. The interruption of
commerce and interference with travel
and the mails is too important to be
left to the caprice of terror-stricken in
dividuals or panic-struck communities.
All quarantine regulations should be left
absolutely in the hands of the state au-
thorities.
