A STATE SANITARY AS.
ISOLATION.

Picayune.
The importance of educating the
people of the Southern States, and
particularly of the Gulf States, in
some simple and rudimentary
of public sanitation
cannot bs.overstated.
The wild and senseless panic
which seized the people of most
parts of the Southern States last
fall at the very moment of yellow
fever, and the barbarism, and even
savagery, with which individuals
from supposed infected localities,
and, indeed, all strangers, we're
treated when they fell into the
hands Of tho shotgun quarantine
authorities, and the absolute stop
page and paralysis of business,
we're experiences to which the in
habitants of no civilized country
should be exposed, and something
which it is prayed shall never be
repeated in this country.
The only real remedy is to edu-
cate the people up to the fact that
security and complete protection
from an infectious and contagious
disease can be accomplished by
proper attention to certain simple
precautions and the adoption of
enlightened sanitary measures,
and it is to familisrize the people
at large with those facts, and to
furnish means for their systematic
instruction in what is necessary in
such cases, that the Louisiana
Sanitary Association has been
formed.
It is gratifying to note that the
idea of organizing for such an i'm
portant work originated with some
enlightened professional physi
clans and number of laymen Of
st. Landry parish, and the asso
citation which has grown out of il
has been chartered in that parish
But the enterprise is not to bt
confined to that or any other 10
cality, for the association which
has been chartered is State or
ganization, to be operated in ever.
part of Louisiana, and to court co
operation with similar organiza
tons in other States.
A most harmful notion was pu

in their vicinity, ceased to exist as
separate corporations, and merged
into Greater New York, the second
largest city in the world. The c.
remony of inaugurating the 60
vernment of the great city was ex-
ceedingly simple, unattended by
any popular demonstration or pa
rade. The simplicity of the affair
may be gagged by the fact that
the total expense attending the
inaugural ceremonies did not ex-
coed $500. '9-

CHANGES OF A YEAR.
FARMERS HAVE CAUSE FOR
GENERALIZATION.
A Retrospective View Shows that the
Country Has Much to Be Thankful
Formation Is Now in u Prosperous
Condition.
Prices All Adva ucing.

Special Washington correspondence:
The farmers OF the United States
surely find their holiday season q very
satisfactory one. The contrast in their
conditions 1T the present time with
those which existed under the free
trade which the Republican party has
just eliminated from the statute books
Is very great, and every farmer will
doubtless appreciate It. They have
contributed very largely to the expor-
tations OF the year just closed, which
are shown by recent figures OF the
Treasury Department as greater than
I'm any preceding year in the history
OF the country. or course the products
Of agriculture form n very large per-
ccntage OF u exports. Products OF
agriculture form over 65 per cent. Of
the expectations Of the year 1897, as
they did in 1896. In the month Of Oc-
tober they formed 7b per cent. OF the
total expectations. When we take this
into consideration, and then learn that
the exports OF the United States for the
year Just ending will be more than a
billion dollars, II will be G that a
large amount Of money has flown into
the pockets OF the farmers.
A study OF the details Of the prices
received by farmers for the articles
which they are now selling Is compar-
ed with recent conditions will be inter
