On January /. 1891 the sutfix Advertiser
which had been retained for time fol
business reasons, was dropped and The
Brunswick Times. again a morning paper,
was issued to the public. 1t began the year
with the realization OF one of Its most
earnest purposes-the furnishing of an eN-
tensive reliable and creJitable Geographic
news service. Both the editorial and news
features of the paper were improved and
brightened; geographically the advantage
of a superior mechanical force was made
manifest; the people appreciated the deter
mination of the publishers TO give Bruins
wick a Journal worthy of its Importance as
a city; and the circulation and advertising
patronage of The Times grew accordingly.
These things, however. may be classed as
but the beginning; for the makers of The
Times have pledged themselves TO the idea
expressed editorlally In the first issue Of
the paper under Its new management:

NATIONAL QUARANTINE.

In his bill providing for system of
National quarantine. Senator Canery OF
Louisiana adopts very largely the pro.
visions Of the act OF 1898 relating to the
introduction Of contagious and infectious
diseases from foreign ports, and providing
for the inspection and sanitation OF ships,
their cargoss and crews. and the statioaing
OF medical officers at consular ports to OBJ
serve and study infections or contagious
diseases. The object OF the bill appears TO
be to make uniform system of quarantine
regulations to be wholly under the control
and direction OF the medical officers of the
marine hospital service State laws can be
executed by State officers for the proven
ton of contagion or Infection whenever
the medical officers OF the United States
think these laws wise. and the quarantine
equipments sufficient for the purpose OF
preventing contagious or infectious dis
eases from entering into the United States.
While conservative In its cnactmcn;s, tho
bill yet gives authority enough to an al
ready we'll organized bureau or branch
of The treasury department tthe marine
hospital service) for preventing an intro
duction OF contagion or infection aud like
wise preventing The embarrassment and
hindrance of trade and travel at the voli-
ton of State guarantees whether existing
by authority OF State law or by authority
of the shotgun. II is felt by Senator CAT
fiery that no attack can be made upon the
bin from the standpoint of Interference
with State rights. He regards it as really
regulation of commerce. and holds that
as the prevalence Of disease. of "A contagi-
GUS or infectious character has tendency
to psralyze or emharross commerce and
travel the power to relieve commerce dur
ing the prevalence OF these diseases
rests in congress. and that this should be
paramount to any health or quarantine
regulations OF a State. which either pro
hbits commerce and travel or affsc cts il in
any way.
The main provisions of the bill are as
follows:
| L. To repeal section OF the act OF 1893
requiring the medical officers of the United
States to cooperate with tho health OH
GERS of the State in executing State quar-
antire law and making Federal laws OF
