New Orleans, La. october is, 1897.

Before o'clock this evening the one
hundred mark OF deaths during the pres
eGil period of yellow fever prevalence
mad been reached.
When the Board OF Health closed its
DOCKS last night there had been ninety
three fatal cases. Between last night
ana night fall to-day seven deaths were
reported. This century OF deaths has
occurred from less than 300 cases that
nave been reported TO the board since
early In September, when the first case
made It's appearance IN New Orleans.
AS usual, however, to-day's record has
been swelled by the criminal neglect of
the poorer classes. The record to day
was ny no means reasSurlnE Early
inns evening the new cases exceeded
thirty and the deaths had reached seven.
heretofore the greatest number of
deaths on n single day has been nine.
Ihe cases, as crl other days, have bobbcd
up in all directions. The quarantine
system is still in effect. but 1t does not
seem to restrain the spread of the in
tcction, and the opinicrl seems to be
horne out that yellow fever is not at all
contagious, but atmospherlcally inrec-
touS.
Two lives might have been saved If
any attempt had been made to give the
patients attention.
l;ariy this morning Coroner Lem
monier foueld the dead body OF Pepino

sundy street. The body was lying on
the floor and those in the place said
mat the man had gone to bed and rolled
out upon the floor In q stupor. 1t took
Df. Lemmonier about two minutes to
decide that the man had died from a
genuine case OF yellow fever, and a
SUBSEQUENT autopsy confirmed the Doc

New York. Oct 1S.-The Campaign
committee OF the Jeffersoniaei Demo
cracY is out to-day with n statement
mat William Jennings Bryan is in favor

statement upon an interview which ap-
pcared In the Evansville Gnd0 Courier
on October Sth. acld which was only dis
covered to-day
on october 7th Mr.. Bryan delivered
an address in Evansville and after
ward he was interviewed on the situa
ton in New York City. According to
the paper mentioned, this Is one of the
questions asked and the reply he made:
do you think Henry George will be
elected Mayor Of Greater New York p"
Il think he has a splendid chance of
beiElS the next Mayor OF New York,
lie Is well known to the people of New
York City. The masses believe in him
and will support him at the polls. I
do not think national issues will cut
much figure in the New York election.
The fight Is on local issues. Personally
Mr.. George is magnetic man and has
iinc executive ability. He will make
an excellent Mayor and will inauguratc
many reforms in New York City"

SCIENTIFIC EDUCATION.

In going over the list of young
men of Hawaii who are attend
ing American colleges and uni
yersities, it is remarkable To note
that nearly every son of Hawaii
is fitting himself for what are
sometimes called the white shirt
professions. The boys seem to be
following in the footsteps of their
fathers and fitting themselves to
be lawyers and doctors. The sci
entific courses now attracting
thousands of young men in the
United States seem to be held in
adherence. Notwithstanding the
industrial development of this
country calls for men educated in
practical science and mechanic
arts, the majority of the boys are
deIving in Greek and Latin and
the usual finishing touches of Il
classical education.

work for nothing in order to gel
a white mans position. The labor
agents of the Orient would not
bring laborers here if the ORR
entails We're not put to work on
the plantations or in and about

that advance orders are received
for many of the men. We admit
there have been Il few exceptions.
We speak of the ruling majority.
1t is useless to weep salt tears Of
anger over the Orientals and la
Dor agents. Who pays the labor
ers, who employs them? There is
nothing gained by nSncing mat

ent to every person living in or
coming 10 this country.
To improve this condition
radical change must be made in
the labor system throughout the
country, and the sooner the PEG
pie wake up TO the facts the bet
ter it will be for all concerned.
The honest thinking people are
now at work ON this problem, and
we believe the hoped-for results
will be accomplished. Meanwhile,

Immediately run to cover and ask

people now have right to ques-
ton the mOtiye of the whOOp-it-
up policy. that is liable to entan-
gle the Government in all kinds
of international wrangles.
The opportunity is right here
and now for the Government To
stop wholesale immigration from
the Orient. If the law of 1896 was
not passed i'm order that it might
be applied in just such conditions
as obtain AT the present day, We
would like tO know what the OBJ
ject of our Legislators was. Was
il thar they wanted 10 put high
sounding rights at the disposal of
our Of1icialS-never to be used?
Did they put section six in the
law. and with Il sly wink to the
Executive, say: ''This is for eff
fect?' We think not. If we are
mistaken, it is time the people
found it out.
The people of Honolulu are to-
day facing a fact, not a theory
They have seen that a fourteen
days quarantine in Japan and
nineteen days at sea on a
'"healthy" ship is no guarantee
against the introduction of a
smallpox epidemic. They have
seen that officials engaged in in
vestigating the right of immi-
grants to enter this port may be
tied up almost indefRitely in
quarantine. They know that ev
cry immigrant coming from the
infected ports of Japan is men

that the Industries of the cOun-
ptsu ado not, for tlnrs Rresent. re

bOrers. The city has escaped Il
smallpox epidemic by mere
chance. Why should our people
run any more risks when the dan
gers can be reduced to a mini
mum aby shutting off. simmigra-
ton?
The action proposed by this pa
per would ut present effect only
Japan. but if ports of other coun-
tries are put on the 'dnfected
list. the law will fit all cases. An
evening paper says diphtheria is
epidemic in San Francisco. This
is news indeed. If it We're true,
San Francisco passengers would
have been subjected to quaran-
tine regulations long ago.
Under the present conditions,
we believe the Japanese Govern
ment would be the last to offer
objection to the enforcement of
extreme measures in dealing with
the steerage passengers from Jap
anese ports. Restrictions upon
the immigration OF faborers while
the smallpox epidemic lis preva-
lent would not interfere with orr
commercial relations with Japan
or cause disagreeable interna-
tiOnal discussions. This is no
time for quarantine makeshifts.
