by Good Appointments.

WASHINGTON. May 17.-Considcrable
nrorrcss was made by the Senate, to-
dav. in considering the war revenue
measure. Mr. Jones Of Arkansas, pre-
scented the views of the Democratic
members of the finance committee. lie
maintained that the taxes imposed by
the bill ought to be levied upon prop
erty and not consumption; that the
nolicy of the Republican party always
had been to impose taxes upon con-
e,,mntion. while that of the Democratic
marty was to impose it upon property
He believed that taxation that would
raise $3.50 .0O0. 000 would he amply sufii-
Gent to be carried by this bill, and he
said that. if the exisencies of the wal
should demonstrate that more money
was needed. Congress could later pro.
vide it.
He opposed the proposition to ISSUE
bonds and certificates of indebtedness:
far in excess of the requirements of The
war and held that the expenses should

THE CIREEW.

The announcement that Mayor Zeigen-
helm. of ST. Louis. has vetoed the curfew
bin recently passed by the Council OF
that town. Will hardly create surprise
amcng those students Of the Constitution
who have noted the sweeping provisions
OF the measure. Indeed, 1t is a source
of surprise to many that the Council of
St. Louis should have thought for a
moment that the bill could stand the
scrutiny of the courts. But Mayor Zeigen-
helm did not wait for the matter
TO be considered by the courts. AS soon
as the bill reached him he plunged I'm
medals res" as the lawyers would say,
and stamped the matter with his official
disapproval. 1T is a step backward to
the Middle Aages," he explained. land is
opposed to the spirit and policy Of our
free institutions, In that It attempts TO
atridge the personal liberties of the chill
dIen."
In other words. the Mayor thinks that
the parents of these little ones, and not
the city of st. Louis, should have the
power to regulate their movements after
SHUTDOWN. He would doubtless admit, as
every one else will do, that the streets
arc not the place for youngsters, and
that they learn much evil by contact
with the general public, but surely the
natural and legal custodians of children
should be allowed to judge for them
selves along this line.
The curfew, as an institution, is thought |
by some TO have had its origin in Eng |
land in the reign of William l.. but even |
IN those days it was not popular. and the |
of it's requirements was re-
axed thirty-five years later. There was
some excuse for 1t when the poorly
sighted streets and thoroughfares were
infested with highwaymen and thieves.
Moreover. in the crowded cities of the
present day. the rule would be absolutely
during the summer season,
md its enforcement would entail a prodi-
,ious amount Of labor on the part of tho
,ollce.

SYMPATHY, WITH THE NEGROES.

At indianapolis. Ind, on Wednesday
night there was held msss-meeting OF
negroes to take action regarding the race
troubles In the South. and similar meet
ings have been advertised to be held in
other northern and western cities. The
indianapolis meeting adopted resolutions
| expressing disgust al the outrages perpe-
trated upon the colored people of the
South" asking President Mckinley TO call
! the attention OF Congress to the evil, and
| directing that copies OF the resolutions
be sent to the Indiana Senators and Rep
resentatives In Congress, and TO various
other persons too numerous to mention.
No doubt the other meetings will take
pretty much the same action.
But what will be the practical result
of these meetings and explosions of in
dignation so far as helping the southern
negro is concerned? Nothing. They will
not conduce to the lettering of his con-
dition one whit. They may, however,
make it infinitely worse for him.
Such demonstrations as that at Indian
apolis hold in them the danger of work
ing In two ways to the disadvantage of
the negro. They are calculated not only
to inflame further the passions of both
races, but to encourage negro insolence
and resistance to white determination to
rule.
Nothing could be more unkind 10 the |
southern negro than northern intermed-
ding in the southern race problem, |
whether II come from a black or a white |
source. Northern negro mass-meetings, |
and for that matter. northern white mass
meetings, may "resolute and indignate"
on the issue ito the end Of time" but
until Higher power shall have radically
changed the white mans nature-and no
other power can change it-white supre-
macy will continue to assert itself in the
South at all hazards. 1t will triumph at
all hazards, and all agencies that would
promote or encourage non-acceptance of
that fact operate to increase the dangers
Of race conflicts, IN which the negro must
20 to the wall. The truest friends of the
southern negro. whether they be black or
white, northern or southern, are those
who counsel him to accept the inevitable.
His worst enemies are those who would
ncite him to do otherwise-who sym
,athize" with him when IN his blindness
md ignorance, and while under the
nalign influence of mean white men, he
opposes the inevitable.

The Post should inform the Doctor that
the misdoings of the blacks brought about
a condition of affairs when every man

at it's height the blacks. not the whites,

sponsible for the blood that was shed.
The Post ought also to inform the Doc

the building. the owner of which is a coll

QUARANTINE AGAINST FEVER.
Gordon of PrOtection-Sanitat In
Cuba and Around Ii.

WASHINGTON. November 1.-THE
yellow-fever problem has been receiving
earnest attention Of late from the au-
thorties here, particularly from the Ma
rine Hospital service and the War De-
partment, owing 10 the important new re-
lations established with Cuba and other
fever localities to the south of us, and
also because of the reoccurrence of the
disease within this country during the
last summer.
The purpose is to prepare during the
coming winter months for such an eff
Client Gordon OF protection around the
country that the chances Of a reintroduc-
ton Of the disease will be reduced 10 a
minimum, while at the same time the
points of infection in Cuba and elsewhere
will be so improved by sanitation and
guarded by quarantine that the main
sources Of danger will be removed.
FLOATING DISINFECTION.
Already the Marine Hospital service
has begun its work of establishing a cor
don OF quarantine around Cuba. A large
floating disinfecting plant is in operation
In Habana harbor, and a similar floating
dlsinfecting plant is at Santiago, al
though not yet in operation. These are
to take charge Of the shipping coming
to American ports and put it through
such thorough disinfection that all fever
germs will b removed. Similar floating
plants will be established at all other
large commercial points, and such rigid
rules put in force that the shipping viii
be free from danger before ii is out OF
Cuban waters, although the most rigid
at American ports will be
continued.
FULLER AUTHORITY NEEDED.
Surgeon-General Wyman is going ahead |
with this floating disinfection, although |
me present laws are not all that are de- |
sired 10 give officials the right TO estab- |
lsh quarantine outside of the country. |
owing TO this weakness of the law, !
strong efforts will be made to have Con-
sress pass what is known as the Cadery
1lll, granting additional quarantine pow /
srs
Besides the quarantine TO provide
against the escape of diseases from the

"BLANCO WHITE"

Captain-General Blanco, in his letter to
Senator Tinado, which we published yes
terday says:
THE keenest sorrow of my life is sur
rendering Cuba, with an army Of 10000
men and 200 guns, to an enemy who
claims to have conquered Cuba. while we
are possessed of such resources"
What an awful humbug Is this old
Blanco White, as the New York Sun calls
him.
Why. before the first American feet ap-
peared in Cuban waters. or the first
American soldier landed upon that island
the Spaniards were all besieged in their
cities by the insurgents!
They were too weak or too lazy. or too
cowardly to come out of their intrench-
ments and pursue the insurgents to their
mountain Businesses. They let the war
drag on year after year, losing ground
steadily. Yet Blanco now tries to hum
bug his countrymen by representing that
but for the peace movement lie might
have done great thingsl There's no tell
ing what the yellow-fever might have
done in the way of ravaging our army,
had ToraI and his fellows had more grit
and held oIh longer, but there Is nothing
In the history Of the war to show that
they could have succeeded against our
arms better than against the insurgents.
Blanco goes home without having suf-
fered a reverse at our hands, but he was
imprisoned in Habana for long, long
time by the Cuban insurgents If that
is his conception of military success, let
him have his fill Of it.

Professor II. w. Wiley, Of the chemis-
try division of the Department of Agri-
culture, at Washington, has been ex-
perimenting for a year on the prepara-
ton of meat for eating, and is quoted as
follows:
Meats should never be eaten until they
have ripened, like game, and this pro-
cess is calculated to consume about three
weeks. A chicken should be hung out
of window, head down, until the head
falls off, when it . ripe for eating, and
fish and eggs should be eaten the day they
are taken, although fish, If frozen
on the day caught. will be good whenever
taken from the ice. But the notion that
fish is a brain food is all wrong The
phosphorus needed by the brain comes
from eggs and vegetables"
Some of Professor Wiley's conclusions.
particularly his chicken conclusion, are
apt to suggest to old-fashioned folks that
lately the learned professor has not in
dulged very heavily in eggs and vegeta-
bles.

SCROFULA
It is Foul Blood's Advertise.
ment
But 1t 10 Soon Cured by Hoods
Sarsaparllla.

Yes, Scrofula, ifanything, may be called
the advertisement OF foul blood. 1t is the
scourge Of the world - offensive, painful,
facilitating, stubborn and well nigh
uncomfortable.
Outward applications do not cure, they
only drive the difficulty to new quarters.
Emollients may palliate, they cannot
abolish the evil. There is but one sure
way out, and that is to eliminate the
faint from the blood.
There is one remedy that can effect this,
and it is the only one that, so far as we
know, has almost invariably succeeded -
even where the system has been poisoned
by long years Of faint, and the ravages to
be repaired are tremendous. That remedy
Is Hoods Sarsaparilla. Read this:
"My daughter was afflicted with i'm
pure blood. There were running sores
all over her body and they caused her
much suffering. We tried medicines that
were recommended as blood purifiers,
but could not see that they did any good.
A friend told me about Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla and began giving the girl this med
icine. The result was that she was per-
fectly cured after taking a few bottles.
She has had no symptoms OF scrofula
sores since that time.n MARIETTA M.
