The normal weekly mortality il
New Orleans, established by tn;
census figures, is l5a. For the
past Ave weeks, the period covered
by the fever, the average mortality
has been only $50, slightly below
the normal. 1t is not possible fol-
any wide spread or dangerous dis.
ease to have prevailed here during
that tlme-it certainly did not kill.
Whether the cases were reported Of
not does not affect the matter in
the slightest degree. The mortality
of New Orleans is and has been
within the normal and is now de-
clining; and on these facts no
physician, or sanltarian, or any one
who knows aught of health matters,
will hesitate to declare that the
wild stories told of the fever in
New Orleans by some Of the coun-
try papers are impossible. Either
the disease cannot be prevalent
here to any serious extent or it is
innocuous and does not kill. It is
possible to suppress cases, but not
10 suppress deaths. rimes-Demo-

The Big Corn States.

This is to be big corn year, and
the yield is expected to exceed that
Of any previous crop. tits interest
ing to recall the figures Of last year,
which was one OF our best. New
York gave the largest yield Of the
Eastern states, Is, 600. 900 bushels,
but she is not = corn state. In
diana's crop was 10, 600. 900 bush
els, Kansas had 162 ,OOO. 900, Mis-
souri, 100000, Illinois 1892
600. 900, and Nebraska PAL 900, 600
bushels. The total crop for the
entire country came little short Of
1000, OOO. 900 bushels. or nearly
50 bushels for each man, woman
and child in the country; about $50
bushels to each family. We could
manage TO live on that.-Chicogo

sit is not generally known, says
the Paris Figaro, ssthat the Star
Spangled Banner of the United
States is older than any one Of
the present flags Of the great
European powers. It was adopted
In li77 by the Congress Of the
Thirteen Colonies of North
America, then at war with the
mother country. The yellow and
red Spanish flag came out in 1885;
the French tricolor was adopted in
1894; the red English emblem,
with the Union Jack in the upper
corner, dates from 1901; the Sar-
dinian (now the Itallan) flag first
fluttered in 1913; the Austro-H Hun
garion flag was one Of the conse-
quences of the compromise Of 1867;
the present German flag first ap-
peared in 1871, and the Russian
tricolor is quite a recent affair.
The only modification that the
American flag has undergone since
its origin consists in. the addition
Of new star every time q new
State is taken into the Union. The
stars now number forty-flve, and,
unfortunately for Spain, it is more
than likely that they have not yet
come to the end of their multiple

RAILROAD COMMISSION

The Railroad Commissioners are
to constitute what 10 known - the
express, telegraph, tele-
phone, steamboat and sleeping car
commission. which was
created BY the Constitution recently
framed for this State. The mem-
bers OF this com mission are to be
elected ut the ensuing election IN
November for two. four and Elk
wears, and thereafter as their terms
expire their successor is to be elect
ed Tor six years. This commission
is vested with plenary power and
specially charged with the duty OF
making reasonable and just :ates,
charges and regulations to govern
and regulate railroad, steamboat
and other water craft, and sleeping
car, freight and passenge, tariffs
and service, express rates and iele-
phone and telegraph charges. to
correct abuses, and prevent unjust
discrimination and extortion in the
rates for the same, on the different
railroads steamboats, and other water
crafts, express, telephone and tele-
graph lines OF this State. and to pre-
vent such companies from charging
any greater compensation in the
aggregate for the like kind Of
property or passengers or messages,
for a shorter than longer defiance
over the same line. To require all
railroads to build and maintain
suitable depots, switches and appur-
tenances, wherever the same are
reasonably necessary, and to inspect
railroads and to require them to
keep their tracks and bridges in safe
condition, and TO fix and adjust
rates between branch or short lines
and the great trunk lines with which
they connect. From the reading
Of the foregoing enumerated powers
OF the Commission it will very
readily be seen and appreciated
what an important part Of the State
government tie commission will be.
II this department is administered
properly and IN accordance with the
spirit and intent of the law. We can
but believe that it will prove q great
benefit to the people Of Louisiana
and the common carriers under its
control will safer no unjust injury.
Bnt on the contrary II the commits
sion is to be the tool Of and con-
trolled and influenced by the very
powerful corporations with which
it has 20 deal, then it would have
been eminently better had the ques-
ton of . commission never been
raised. We are not Of that class
however to look upon the dark side.
The people Of Louisiana can be
trusted, and we have no fear that
the nominees of the Conventions
