ALEvEL-ffEADED VIEW.

Here is a very sensible sugges-
ton from the Chicago Chronicle,
and The Echo reproduces it edI-
torially:
Possibly we of the North, be-
ing in position of safety, are not
capable of appreciating the tradl-
tional terror inspired by yellow
fever in the South. 1t does ap-
pear, however, as though this ter
ror should gradually abatetas sue
cessive years show that yellow
Jack can be met and mastered
like any other disease.
"Within the last ten years 1T is
very probable that deaths from
lightning have exceeded those
from yellow fever in this country
Certainly more people die of
diptheria in Chicago during a
single month than suceumb to
yellow fever IN the South during
the year. Yet, though we have
soaie fear Of lightning and OF
diptheria, we do not become pan
ic-stricken al either. We simply
take our chances, knowing that
the deaths from either cause are
a very small percentage of the
whole population. The South
might as well make up its mind
to view yellow fever with equal
philosophy

Arotner Account.

jackson, Miss, Oct. 9.-Dr. T.
B. Harrison, health officer of Tai
lahatchie county, reports to the
state board a grewsome tragedy
that took place few days ago in
the neighborhood of Phillips, an
inland town just over the line in
Lefiore county. A church in
which an unknown white man, a
tramp, had taken refuge when at
tackled by supposed case of yel-
low fever, was burned to the
ground, and the body of the man
was consumed in the flames.
When the tramp was discovered he
was in negro chnrch and in a
dying condition. DR.. Harrison,
the nearest physician, was sum-
moned, and without hesitation
declared it to be a case of genuine
yellow fever. The announcement
created considerable panic, and a
telegram was sent to jackson for
the state board to send an expert
to confirm the diagnosis. In short
time, however, and before the
expert arrived the man is said to
have died. At any rate, DR.. Har-
rison withdrew to attend to other
professional matters requiring his
care. When he returned the
church was in ashes.

the writer extends his sincerest sympathy
Nav the Supreme Ruler of the Universe

teach them TO
Judge not the Lord by feeble sense,
Bat trust HIM for His grace;
Behind q frownIng providence

Some of our state contemporaries seem
to be losing sight of the fact that IN order
to insure the reform IN State politics SO
loudly demanded by the people, the next
campaign must be entirely free from any
national questions and more particularly
the currency problem. That ''Exper1euce
is a dear teacher" we have been already
made to feel, by allowing the national
currency question to lnsh the popular de-
mand fnr reform lest it somehow impair
the strength of the 16 to / party as ma
tionaI organization. The officers of our
next State administration must be chosen
solely with the extremely difficult propo
sitions constantly arising before the State
Government.
