The yellow Fever Scare.

The people in the interior portion of
this State seem to have gone wild with
fright over few cases OF yellow fever in
New Orleans Up to Thursday only Is
cases had been officially reported, all OF q
mild type, and only one death. with S
''suspiciousr cases yet to be determined.
TO persons accustomed to the prevalence
1e;y61lerk foEar nNnuE0 ulannA qGas1ns
tines established ut Alexandria, Boyce
and Shreveport appear utterly absurd,
and certainly will not accomplish any
good.
1t is only when the fever has numbered
hundreds Of cases in New Orleans, and
that, too, by at least a month earlier than
this date, that any spread may be expect
ed into the interior of the State. The
regulations 10 New Orleans relative to
the control of the fever are etrict and
we'll enforced, and at this late season of
the year, when even without these regu-
lations it could hardly be expected to
spread any further, such wholesale en-
barge laid on trade and travel is entirely
useless. 1t is foolish concession to pal
late the fears of timid people, which
should not be made without more serious
cause for apprehension.
