A TurvrxDOus row.

There is a tremendous row In progress
IN New England over the Importantly
issue. The journalistic camp OF that sec
ton t. divided. with the greater number
Z OF papers against Imperialism. The re-
3 cognized leader OF the pros" IL the Provi-
dence ar. H. Journal. and Of the "antis
the Springfield Massl Republican In the
last few days these two champions have
been az II hammer and longs" and their
respective followings have been "sickrg"
them on vigorously. The Republican
hasn't minced words I'm dealing with
either the treaty or the ''usurpation" OF
the President in issuing his Filipino pro.
clamation. and has crowded its antagonist
so numerically that the latter now seeks
refuge in crying treason" II also says
that nothing more shameful than the
Republicans attitude has been witnessed
in many years. II is just as deliberately
| fighting against its own country as If ii
were encouraging rebels at home"
Wen. we don't know Of more compe-
| tent court than the New England court
TO settle the question OF what constitutes
treason. and pass upon the sins OF fight
ing against ones country and encourag-
ing rebels at home. Than Rhode Island
and Massachusetts, there are no States
in Mr.. McKinley's embryo empire whose
press ought 20 be better posted on this
matter. If treason be what some OF the
papers Of these States have from time 10
time in recent years defined II TO be. old
New England I'm general and Massa-
chusetts and Rhode Island in particular,
have had some notable experience along
that line Witness. for instance. the
Shay and the Dorr rebcllions. and the
Hartford convention, and the incidents
that revolyed around these performances
And, by the way, since we come to ana
lyze the Journals ampiihcation OF its
charge against the Republican. it would
seem that our Providence contemporary
had the experiences noted in mind. The |
words nothing more shameful than the !
Republicans attitude has been witnessed !
in many years" certainly suggests that |
such was the case.
However all this is depression. The
point is. that If it is treason to stand on
the Constitution, and protest against
course that threatens TO wreck our re-
publican institutions. put the country
under the yoke Of militarism. and grind
the life out Of the people by taxation,
treason is pretty widespread in this
country If I'm this crisis our Springfield
is a traitor, it is in very
company. But perhaps 1t is
the consciousness Of the journal that
treason is so widespread and SO many
prominent men are traitors, that leads
Ii to the conclusion that the time has
come for opening the way for the man
on horseback.

was raised by the state in connection
with the motion TO quash the petition
and all the proceedings hereunder The
decision declares that a fair trial could
have been had at the time petition was
made: that it can be had now, and that

issue the substance Of the decision is that

GENER VACCINATION.

The Dispatch cannot but applaud the
action of our Board Of Health and City
Council in providing for a general vacci-
nation here.
Smallpox prevails in many States Of
this Union. and in several localities Of
/ Virginia not more than a few hours ride
from Richmond. Luckily, the disease has
so far presented itself in a very mild
| form. the Geath-rate having been only
| about per cent. Still we cannot tell
when il may assume malignant form;
ror when it may appear here. 1t would
be truly wonderful If our city should
continue TO enjoy exemption from the
disease, and for our own part We do not
expect that But if we see to it that our
entire population is vaccinated we shall
put ourselves in a position where the
disease cannot hurt MS very much.
Every head of a family should be vac
cinated. Then he should see TO it that
each member Of his family, white and
black is likewise vaccnated Especially
should fathers and mothers see that
their nurses and washerwomen have been
,vaccinated. Don't allow your baby to go
into the arms of an unvaccinated person,
nor your clothes to be washed by such
person. Each school-teacher should be
vaccinated and should then require each
pupil of his or hers to be-
In all large establishments, where many
clerks or hands are employed the man
ayers ought TO see to it that their en-
ployees are vaccnated Not TO do so is
for proprietors TO take big rlsks-risks
of loss of business and Of life, too.
Pastors and teachers OF colored people
may do their race a valuable Service by
explaining the purpose OF vaccination. In
this matter they may exert a great in
nuence for good, and our experience on
former occasions such as this is that
they will be prompt 10 do so.
No convicts are now being brought 10
the penitentiary from communities
where smallpox has appeared. This rule
is inhexible, and has been and will be ap-
Piled without discrimination. Were smallv
pox 10 spread within the walls Of the
penitentiary the suffering and death there
would be frightful.
All officers. guards. clerks. ana other
employees of the state and of the con-
tractors at the penitentiary have been
vaccinated. No visitors except ministers
OF the Gospel are allowed within the
prison. Each prisoner, no matter where
he comes from, upon his arrival, is strip
ped and washed clean. Then ne is
given new suit Of clothes Thus small
poX has so far been kept ont of the
prison, and thus, ii may be presumed. the !
institution may be successfully safe |
guarded through the winter.
