INC silva Agitntion.
From the Philadelphia Record Dem

Secretary Gage has told a Chicago in
terviewer that the silver question ought
to be settled for the good of the country;
but that while Mr. Bryan and his fol-
lowers keep up their agitation the ques-
tion cannot be considered settled" I'm
doubtedly the Bryan following is respon-
sible for much of the political unrest
financially, there is none-but not by any
means for all of il. The administration S
bimetalhc commission has helped TO keep
the mischief stirred, and the neglect of
congress TO DO anything toward currency
reform has added fuel TO the silver flame.

AtIrnta MS n Danger Point.

The sentiment in favor of establishing
a quarantine against Atlanta is quite
strong. Those who are urging it are very
much in earnest Many of them, however,
are not so much afraid of the fever reach
ing this city from Atlanta as they are
that jacksonville. Charleston and other
places VIII quarantine against Savannah
unless Savannah guarantees against At
lanta.
Some days ago we said we saw no rea-
son for quarantine against Atlanta at the
present time, and that there would be no
good reason for quarantining against her
unless cases of fever were developed
among her citizens from contact with the
refugees, or unless there should be a good
dea. Of fever among the refugees. We
urged, however, that the greatest care
should be exercised in enforcing quaran-
tine against the infected dstrcts-that
no persons from those districts, even if
they held Atlanta certificates, should be
admitted to the city unless there was sat
isfactory evidence that they had submitted
to the necessary period of detention. Moth
ing has occurred to change our opinion
our authorities are doing what they be-
lieve to be for the best interests of the
city. They don't want to shut out the
whole world, as it were, unless it becomes
absolutely necessary to do so. They have
an agent in Atlanta, in whose judgment
they have confidence, who will notify
them if he thinks there is danger to be APP
pretended from Atlanta.
As matter of fact Atlanta can hardly
be regarded as a source of serious danger
until it is demonstrated that the place is
infected. If a citizen of Atlanta should
be attacked by the fever, that would be
pretty satisfactory evidence that the fever
had foupd Judgment there. In that event
there would be no hesitation in quaran-
timing against that city.
We think Atlanta was hasty in announc-
ing herself a haven for refugees from all
infected points without requiring persons
actually i'll with the fever, or who had
been in actual contact with it, to be de-
tanned outside of the city limits. She
recognized that she had not shown good
judgment when other cities and towns be-
gan to quarantine against her, and so she
modified her first announcement very con-
siderably. While danger was afar off the
great majority of her people were sure
that yellow fever could not thrive within
her limits, but when the danger came near
there was a change in public sentiment.
There was not such absolute certainty
that the fever could not thrive in Atlanta.
Comparatively little is known about yell
low fever. There are many people who
think they know great deal about it. 1t
is not difficult, however to find facts in
the many epidemics of this disease from
which the world has suffered to upset their
theories. There is some ground for say
ing Atlanta is above the yellow fever line,
and yet there have been yellow fever cpl
denies in places having a much higher
altitude than that city.

There have been a number of changes
made in the government and army of the
Cuban republic lately. Gomez is no
longer the commander-in-chief of the
army, but has been succeeded by Calixto
Garcia, Gomez going to the office of min
lister of war. Don Domingo Mendez-Ca-
pote has been elected to the presidency,
and former President Cisneros has been
made the presiding officer of congress.
Gen. Masso who is negro, has been
made, vice-president of the republic"
How the changes will affect the fortunes
of the Cuban cause remains to be seen.
1t is claimed that differences have been
settled among the insurgents, and they
will now present a front more formidable
than ever before.

A ST. John river (Fla.) farmer has found
that the water hyacinth is not an unmiti-
gated evil. While it may worry the steam
boat people no little, he finds that it
makes a very fair fertilizer. Last spring
he decomposed a lot of the hyacinths in
compost heaps, and used the mass in his
vegetable gardens. with results which he
pronounces to be most gratifying. This
same farmer found that his chickens were
fond of the green leaves of the hyacinth.
and that they seemed to thrive upon the
diet.
