coLFAx GRANT PARISH, La SATURDAY, OCTOBER Is 1885,
Yellow Fever at Alexandria.

The town of Alexandria has unfor-
tunately developed a number of cases
of "dengue," "yellowoid fever" or
whatever the name is that the mild
form Of yellow fever has assumed of
late years. Asa consequence the sur
rounding country has enforced the
same rigid shotgun quarantine
against Alexandria that she has
heretofore enforced against others.
The fever is said to be OF the very
mildest type. 1t makes no difference
whether the quarantine is designated
as ''idiotic" and "senseless," or not,
it is a fact all the same, and there is
nothing to do but grin and bear it.
Now that Alexandria has had a
dose of her own medicine, in the way
of' rural quarantine idiocy, I'VE hope
the people Of that town will have q
little more sense and justice in the fu-
ture themselves, and not take the lead
in precipitating panic, as has been
their habit heretofore.
The quarantine regulations in Lou
isiana are flrst-class. There no long
er exists any necessity for shotgun
guarantees. The spread of contag-
ion is guarded against by the rules of
the State Board of Health better than
any locality can hope to enforce. All
the facts about fever, in New Orleans
especially, are faithfully published
every day, and the public is kept fully
informed as to the true conditions at
every infected point. We know that
some ''rural idiots" have a penchant
for telling lies about how the facts are
suppressed, how the papers fail to
print the truth for fear Of offending
the merchants, etc., butevery well in
formed man knows that all such state
ments are false. The newspapers
especially should never be guilty Of
repeating this slanderous and bare
faced lie.
Reports from all quarters show the
fever to be mild and generally under
control. The president Of the State
board OF health recommends that the
o,,oro >, <;po bo ,o ;e<,d ~ all v,~;n<u A.
cept Franklin. Up to Thursday, out
of 40 or so cases, only one death has
occurred at Alexandria.
The cool weather OF the last few
days will doubtless speedily reduce
the fever at Alexandria, and also
guarantee against its further spread,
SO we may look for all restrictions to
be removed soon and normal condi-
ti0ns to be restored.

Colfax guarantees.

At meeting of the citizens OF Col
fax held in the court house yesterday
afternoon, the town council was re-
quested to meet and pass quaran-
tine ordinance, requiring all persons
coming to this town to show that
they had not been exposed to yellow
fever. The rule is to apply only to
persons mailing from infected points,
and to strangers who cannot give a
satisfactory account of themselves.

Bryan Training His Sights.

Bryan Training HIS sights.
Free silver and Bryan did up the
Democratic party in 1896, and still
there are galoots crying for the thing
to be tried over again in 1900.
The proposition suits Mr.. Bryan
immensely, and he is out in his usual
twaddle about the "plain. common
people" contributing to O campaign
fund to wage war against the mo
nopoly OF money, which, ofcourse,
he is to be the leader and principal
beneficiary.
He writes to. w. H. Harvey, OF
.Coin's Financial Fool'' fame, and
says: Surely you can appeal with
confidence to the millions who suffer
from the rising dollar and falling
prices" The phrase 'srising dollar
and falling prices" is a good one to
catch the ear of the average voter.
and it can be counted upon for results
after the usual changes have been
rung upon it by free silver editors
The late Democratic State conven-
tions in New York, New Hampshire,
CoRBecticut and Wisconsin, have all
given sfree silver" the cold shoulder,
and the Indications are that senti-
ment is decidedly increased against
this issue in many of the States, as
will be shown in the other conventions
and elections to be held this fall.
Surely the suicidal policy of COM
hitting the Democratic party to q
defeated candidate and q discredited
issue in 1900, is otseriously contem-
plated by men who desire the success
Of the party.

MAINE WRECK SINKING.
Time of Departure of Naval court
from Habnnn Doubtful.

UARANA. February 25.-The wreck OF
.be Maine is slowly but surely sinking
into the mud. Before the hull could be
raised il would be necessary TO remove
the guns and deck debris. For lack Of pro
ner apparatus, practically nothing In this
line has been accomplished. Aside from
the officers cabin, the salvage thus far
has been pitifully small. The cloudy wea-
tber and rain made the work Of the
divers unsatisfactory to-day, and very
little was done 1t is said that hole has
been made by the divers In one or the
forward matches, and it is hoped that a
number Of bodies will be recovered.
The court OF inquiry sat longer than
usual to-day, the six divers being exam
ined more i'm detail than heretofore. The
time Of the departure Of the Mangrove,
with the court, for Key West has not
been determined. Captain Sampson said
to-day that II was doubtful whether his
vessel would sail tomorrow; that all de-
pended on the developments Of the testi-
mOny.
The Spanish cruiser Alfonso XII has
been towed a buoy further within the
harbor TO make room for the cruiser
Vizcaya. which is expected here to-mor-
how or the next day from the North.
No word has been received at the Con-
sul-Generars Office from Mr. Walter b.
Barker the United States Consul az
Sagua Ia Grande. and it il believed that
the report OF Mr. Barker's serious illness
Is untrue.

that time with asserting to spoliation

Buchanan asked Congress for authority
to send a military force TO secure indem-

TO bring redress from Mexico.
This course was adopted by Congress,
and the preparations for the military re-
prisal soon brought about satisfactory
adjustment.
