CHEsTBRS QUARANTINE.

The Chester Bulletin does not think
much of the foolish attempt to quar-
antine the town against smallpox 1t
thinks that if the disease exists at all,
of which fact it is evidently doubtful
there is as much danger of its being
brought in by privileged classes as by
classes that are not privileged. In its
last issue it has the following:
We think it is about time for the au-
thorities to raise the quarantine here. 1t
has been the merest farce all along, but
recently become such grotesque comedy
that it is becoming ridiculously nauseat-
ing. It is principle Of international law
that for a quarantine to be legal It must
be effective. Some people are permitted
to come here from Columbia and other
infected points and mingle with the peo-
pie, while some are denied this privilege.
The exemptions from the operation OF
the ordinance declaring quarantine are so
numerous that the quarantine Is lnopera-
tive and utterly useless. DO away WIN
the entire humbug and fraud, gentlemen,
and let everybody come. There Is no
sense and use in putting the taxpayers TO
the expense of maintaining such laugh
able spectacle. The money spent in mir
ing three extra officers to enforce the law,
as it is enforced, might as we'll be spent in
a huge bonfire so far as it has any effect
in keeping the smallpox away from mere.
Either make the quarantine ironclad or
abolish it altogether.
