THE SAME OLD STORY.
Yellow Fever mt New Orleans Is Still
SDrcadinK.


New Orleans, Oct. 3. - Yesterday
was again something Of record
breaker in the matter Of new cases.
They cropped up in all directions, but
the death record was still low. The
fever is rapidly spreading in many di-
rections, but the large majority Of
cases are said to be of harmless type.
The weather is warm and the condi-
lions excellent for new cases. There
were three deaths and twenty-four
new cases.
A bitter fight is being made On the
board Of health because it is insisting
in quarantining inmates Of houses in
which yellow fever exists and those
houses which Immediately adjoin.
DR.. Guiteras expressed the opinion
that it is possible to confinc the in
lection within the room where the pa
tient may be lying, and this has
strengthened the fight Of the public
against quarantine measures. In spite
Of the storm Of protests, however,
many physicians are urging the board
to continue it's course. The crisis is
either here now or close at hand, and
it is not considered wise, no matter
what may be the public indignation,
to jeopardise the health of the whole
community by allowing people in in
fected houses or living next door to
them to go at random.

closed to bicyclists. Rare flowers ha6
been plucked, ferns dug up bodily
boughs broken from the exotic trees
peanut shells scattered over the lawns
and the very owners of the grounds

The thirty-sixth anniversary of the

the Civil War, was observed by a re-
union Of veterans of both armies. The
Confederate survivors present far out
numbered the Union men. It was hard
ly necessary for the reporters to say
that the best of feeling prevailed at
the meeting. The men who fought gal.
lantly a generation ago set an example
OF judicious forgetting. 1t is usually
from men who took no part in that
mighty struggle that we learn that the

Inc United States and Russia have
never yet had dispute. On the con-
trary, the very warmest friendship has
always existed between them. During
the civil war Russian fleet prevented
british feet from blowing up New
Ye:k. In 1928 the car offered to loan
us <ss,C1a,5ar in gold to replenish the
reeartc. There is not much immigra-
ton froz. Russia, but as rule the RUS
sian makes a good citizen of any coun-
try. Thousands of Americans live and
DO business in Russia. From these
we learn that Russia is not the sort
OF despotism that some British writ
ers try to make out. The country is
well governed and wealth is equally
distributed. The common laborer ia
better off than his brother in America.
There are no prisons and very little
crime. The alleged horrors of Siberia
that we read about in English papers
are not horrors at all. A man con-
victed of crime is sent to Siberia for
term of years. He is put to work.
but is not shackled. If he is married
he may take his wife with him. He
receives fair remuneration Tor his SER
vices and at the end of his term of
service rarely quits his exile. A single
year in a British prison is equivalent to
a life sentence to Siberia. We cannot
learn too much about Russia. Some
time ago there was talk of an alliance
between the United States and Eng
land. Our senate wisely refused to
ratify it. We do not think that q
similar proposition from Russia would
bs as speedily refused. PERHAPS a
treaty will be concluded before the end
Of the century. In the meantime there
is perfect understanding between
the two nations. Russia alone among
Europeans is friendly to the Monroe
doctrine. There is not the slightest
doubt but that in case of necessity she
would aid us to defend it.
