DANIEL REPLIES TO o'FERRALL,
The Controversy in Virginia Is TO
Have Another Chapter Added.

Lynchburg, Va, Sept 1s.-A letter from
Senator John W. Daniel, in answer TO the
recent letter of Gov. O'Ferrall. will be
published in the Lynchburg News to-
morrow.
A considerable part of Senator Daniels
letter is devoted to quoting newspaper
comments on his speeches last fall, and
extract from a letter written by him in
October 1896, all showing that his con-
struction of the government by injunc-
tlon" plank of the Chicago platform was
the same then as it is now This is in
refutation of the charge of the governor
that Senator Daniel held his peace on
the subject during the last campaign.
Senator Daniel then deals with a number
of other political topics.
In discussing Gov. O'Ferralls charge
that the last national democratic plat
form proposed to revolutionize the SUI
preme court, In order TO get from Ii de-
cision favorable to an income tax, Senator
Daniel declares that "the democracy has
never packed the supreme court. 1t never
will. To impute the suggestion Is to SIAN
der as reputable men as the nation has
In it,"
Senator Daniel contends that the mean
ing of the national platform was that the
court in the natural order of events, would
be differently constituted, and might be
brought TO reconsider its last decision as
to an income tax, and thus again reverse
itself on this question, as 1t had previous
ly done.
Judges are not beyond the pale of crit
cism," he says. mo good man desires
to be beyond 1t. Criticism is the weapon
of truth, and all public servants must be
open to It, II they are honest and capable
Gov. O'Ferrall, in his recent letter to
the press, undertook to excuse himself for
voting In congress five times in one day
for free silver. and afterwards bolting the
democratic national ticket for declaring
for this very same doctrine by saying that
he had not studied the question while q
member of congress. but had accepted the
assurance of other congressman that free
silver coinage was practical. To this Sen
ator Daniel responds that man who sc
reverses the natural order of things tha
he does not study a question when II is his
duty to do IL, but hastens to study il Wher
1t Is not his duty to do It, Is I'm too In
defensibe position TO undertake to crit
icise those who have studied 1t and WHIT
| have not changed their views on the ques
| ton.
Referring again 10 Gov. O'Ferralp
charge that Daniel had offered a reso.u
| ton in the Senate commencing Presiden
| Cleveland for sending troops to quell tn
| Chicago riot, and afterwards as a mem
! Der of the committee on resolutions at tn
| Chicago convention. condemned the Pres
| ident for sending troops to Chicago Sen
ator Daniel positively denies that he wa
ever a member of the committee on reso
| lutions at ChicabJ or that he knew wha
was In the committees report until tn
| platform was presented to the convention

DIR. SANDERS SUGGESTION.
Refrigeration Proposed for Freights
From Infected Cities.

whistler, Ala, Sept. 1S.-Dr. Sanders.
state health officer of Alabama, will soon
lay before the government a plan by
which the freight embargo caused by yell
low fever may be almost wholly removed.
The plan consists in using refrigerator
cars for distributing freights from infect
ed localities. The freights are to be placed
in such cars and the latter hermetically
sealed, and then the temperature within
reduced to freezing or below. "A freezing
temperature will destroy yellow fever
germs BY the time such freights reach
their destination it is thought they will be
harmless. Sulphur fumes may also be
used in such cars to disinfect freights, the
cars not to be opened until they reach their
destinations.
Substantially all goods that people stand
much in need of, could be shipped with
impunity.
