From the Washington Star
Who dares to insinuate that am working
for myself?
Who entertains the thought that I'm in
spired by love of pelf?
Who says I'm animated by the hope of
sordid gain
In bucklng on my armor to go forth in
this campaign?
OF course, theren be a salary when to
this place I'm sent.
But it's better l should have 1t than my
wicked opponent;
I'm moved by generous impulses and 1
cannot still its throb;
The country must be saved and I'm the
man to do the job
I won't stand back for coaxing, as old
Cincinnatus did;
When this glorious nation calls me, IL
can never say 1 hid;
I don't assume false modesty-far worse
than vulgar pride;
It's Freedom that is threatened and I'm
rushing to her sidei
Posterity would scorn me il things didn't
turn out right.
For letting diffidence prevent my mingling
in the fight;
For standing on Fame's threshold with
out strength to turn the knob;
The country must be saved, and I'm the
man TO do the job

THE NEW york QUARANTINE.

The New Orleans papers are directing at
tenhon to the death of Col George E.
Warning at New York as proving the flu
tility of the quarantine al that port so far
as preventing the introduction of yellow
fever into this country is concerned. Col.
Waring was seriously i'll with fever
when the steamer reached quarantine, and
despite the fact that il was known that
yellow fever was prevalent at Havana his
case was at once diagnosed as malaria and
he was permitted to land. Fortuna tely
owing to the lateness of the season and the
clamatic conditions prevailing at New
York, there is no danger of an epidemic re-
sulting. but the New Orleans papers in
sist that much of the fever that breaks
out in the Lower Mississippi valley is
brought there through the lax quarantine
of the Northern ports, and not through
those of the South, where extraordinary
precautions are taken against the introduce
ton OF yellow fever. Coming to any South
ern port in the condition he was in, Col
Warning would have been, they insist. de-
tanned in quarantine until the exact nature
Of his complaint was discovered.
In view of the greatly dncreased travel
that may be expected between Northern
ports, especially New York, and the West
Indies the point raised by the New Or
leans press seems well taken. Unless great
care is exercised at that port there is dan
ger of the country being subjected to more
epidemics of yellow fever. Baggage and
freight coming into New York are liable to

THE sAvANNAH-HAvANA LINE.

Referring to the establishing of line
of steamers between the ports of savan-
nah and Havana, the Charleston News
and Courier says: LAS we understand,
that is exactly what we want, and if we
cannot establish a line of our own it win
be convenient for us to do business
through Savannah. There are lots of
things in Charleston that we ought to be
able to sell in Havana"
That is the right spirit, and we hope to
see more of il from the same source. There
are undoubtedly lots of things in Charles
ton that Havana would like to purchase,
and would purchase if Charleston would
go after the business and make attractive
offers. 1t seems that Charleston has it In
mind to do this very thing, and we hope to
see her make a success of it, As to the
shipping arrangements, If 1t is not con-
venient just now for Charleston to have
line of her own, it would be to her ad-
vantage to assist Savannah is assuring the
perlnaneney of the line from this port.
The Savannah line will be more conven-
lent for Charleston than any other, and
the growth of the business may be such
as to warrant the starting OF an indie
pendent line from that city before great
while
The projected line from Savannah is
purely a business proposition. If there
should be developed traffic enough to war
rant, the steamers viii be run regularly.
otherwise they will not. Just at this time
there is not an extensive inquiry for room,
owing to the unsettled conditions in the
island. These conditions are expected to
improve from now on, however, so that
the prospects are for a growing trade. If
Savannah and Charleston mean to be
among the first in the field when the up
ward movement sets in, they could do no
better than to cooperate In the beginning,
and thus secure an early foothold to-
gether.
! This matter, however, is not of interest
| to Savannah and Charleston alone. At
! lanta, Augusta, Macon, Columbus, Column
| bia and other nearby cities also probably
have 'lots of things" which they ought
| to be able to sell in Havana, and the east
est and best way for them to send those
things to Havana is through the por,
of Savannah. A little cooperation win
give the merchants, founders mill owners
and other business men of Georgia and
Carolina permanent and regular line OF
| frst-class freight and passenger steamers
! from a convenient port to Havana, to the
| benefit of all parties.

cAMp,IGN FORECASTS.

The campaigns are now virtually closed,
and the politicians and the newspapers are
busily engaged in counting noses and
making forecasts of the probable outcome
OF the election As a matter of course
each politician is pretty well able to
make a showing mighty favorable 10 his
party; whether ne has faith in the array
of statistics which he quotes is another
matter. The great newspapers probably
come closer 10 rejecting the real situa-
ton, though the partisan papers are about
as far apart in their estimates as the par
usan politicians are one or two of the
more broad-minded papers, however
make estimates which may come reason
ably close to rejecting public opinion as
it actually exists.
The New York Evening Posts Washing
ton correspondence forecasts the political
complexion of the next House as being
much the same as it was in 1855, when Gen.
Harrison was elected President At that
time there were l6s Republicans and 1853
Democrats in the House al the time of its
organiza ton. The margin was too narrow
to please the Republicans, so they went
to work at unseating Democrats, with the
effect that the majority was speedily
raised 1t appears to the Posts corre-
spondent that the same sort of tactics is
likely to be resorted TO in the next con-
gress; and therein is the reason why ev-
cry Democratic nominee should be given
the very largest vote possible.
The Herald's forecast reduces the
probable Republican majority in the House
to 49, against 50 at present. The Herald
looks for a gain by the Democrats Of q
seats, with a probability of the Repub-
hcans losing ten or a dozen other seats to
fusionists or others. Indeed, the House
may be organized with a Republican ma
jority of considerably less than 20, in
which case it is probable that the unseat-
ing of opposition members would be one
Of the first works of the Republicans
after the organization.
The Herald summarizes ats forecast of
state campaigns in the CLOSE" states as
follows: Van Wyck leads in the race for
Governor of New York, though The legis-
lature will be Repblican; Quay's man Stone
will be elected Governor of Pennsylvania
VOORHEES, will he elected Governor of New
Jersey, and Senator Smith win be re-elect-
ed; the fuslonists win win in Nebraska
there will not be Republican gains in Mich
igan and Ohio, though no slump is looked
for in these states.

He Died to Free Cuba From Disease
From the New York Press (Rep).

Cuba has cost this country much in life,
but in the long catalogue of expenditures
there is no other single item equal in mag
nitude to that discharged yesterday in tho
death of Col George E. Waring. He per-
ished as distinctly in the cause of the le-
generation of the island as any one of his
old war comrades who in this new war
led their men up the slopes about the town
of Santiago He fell in personal recon-
noissance, under the direction of his gov
eminent, of the enemies he had met and
vanquished on many ields--the enemies of
neglect that breeds filth. Of filth that
breeds pestilence.

favorable for their taking root. While
there IS no reason to exaggerate the danger
from this source, 1t is but proper that
the health officials of New York, having
the health of the entire country in a meas

more vigilance, or more competency, than
characterized them in the case of Col.

TO prevent any evil results from the first
