CLEAN UP.
Sanitary Condition of the City Should be
| Carefully Looked After.


While there il no cause for alarm in
the report from Newport News, vir-
ginia, that yellow fever exists there,
every possible precaution should be
taken to guard against possible out
break here, rs we'll as every where else.
The first condition which tends 10,
ward heathfulness is cleanliness. It
should be the care OF each individual
to see that his premises are entirely
free from all decaying matter and
that out-houses, barns, ETC., are kept
in good condition. A plentiful use
Of lime should be indulged in at this
season, as nothing is better for the
quick destruction otsdisease germs.
Should there come reports Of fever
cases near at home people should moi
become frightened and abandon their
homes and their business interests af
they did last year. The fever then
proved to be almost devoid Of casual
ties in the communities where it ex'
listed, while here in Grenada there was
not even suspicious case, The scare
was worse than the disease, but We
doubt very much whether people would
flee from its approach )again has the,
have in the past. The cases reported
at present are in IA part of Virgins
noted as summer resort, and Jersey
City, Il part Of Greater New York, il
guarded against the infected points tt
keep the disease out. This being the
case, it seems that no part of the
countryls immune, SO we ar. as safe II
Mississippi as we would be anywhere
else.
But in the mear time keep things
clean and wholesome, and don't give
old Yellow Jack even half chance.

The fight against the Trusts has al
ready begun in the cities. 1t COM
menced a week ago against the Sugar !
Trusts, and was successful in lower
ing the price. A similar movement
has been started against the capitalists
who control the meat market. A
New York paper says:
"Several hundred butchers and their
wives went to Fort George to attend
the annual outing of the Retail Butch
ers' Protective Association.
After the session Mr.. Kahn and
President Wagner told of what had
been done. They said it had been de-
cided to recommend the raising of a
fund of S5,OOO,OOO OF this sum 3d.
100000 is to be raised by the retailers
themselves and So, 900, 600 by popular
subscription at 81 a share. Presi-
dent Wagner said there was no doubt
whatever that the entire SO, 200, 900 will
be quickly raised by the retailers i'll
New York City alone. The remaining
81, 100000 it is intended to dispose of
to customers, small merchants, labor
organizations and others who are op-
posed to trusts. Some of the retailers
have as many as five hundred custom
ers, and many of these have already
asked permission to subscribe to such
stock.
Mr.. Kahn says the retailers are now
obliged to sell their meats at an aver
age ranging from 124 cents to 13 cents
a pound. When the new company
gets into the field he hopes to see the
price cut to from cents to 74 cents on
the average. 8
President Wagner says the Local
agents of the ''Big Five meet in this
city every Monday morning and ar
bitrarily fix the price to be charged fOl
the week. He says it is not regulated
by the market conditions, but by
''caprice, whims and avarice."
1t is asserted by the retailers tina
there are available here for the new
abattoirs more than three Thousand
men who have been compelled b.
, many causes to leave the butcher busi
ness and get into other avOcations
Wagner says the numerous response
, to advertisements for help by tn
+ butchers prove that these men-mos
of whom are highly skilled-wi

THE visit of President Mckinley to !
Ocean Grove last Friday, was enjoyed |
by a number of Delawareans, as well |
as the 10000 in and the larger number |
outside the auditorium.
The enthusiasm which greeted the |
Presidents words showed that the peO-
pie are with him in his policy of civili-
cation and humanity. DIR. Lanahan,
the Presidents former pastor, in an
opening prayer, thanked God for the
gift of Cuba and the Philippines, and
Bishop Fitzgerald, in introducing the
President, declared that there was no
conflict between the Stars and Stripes
and the flag of the Cross and that they
few side by side. President McKin-
ley said:
Love of the flag and and love of the
country are not inconsistent with reli-
gious faith. I believe there is more
love for our country and that more
people love the flag than ever before.
Wherever that flag is raised it stands
not for despotism and oppression, but
for liberty, opportunity and humanity,
and what that flag has done for us we
want it to do for all people and all
lands, which by the fortunes of war,
have come within it's jurisdiction.
THAT flag does not mean one thing
in the United States and another in
Porto Rico and the Philippines. There
has been no doubt in some quarters re-
specting the policy of this government
in the Philippines. l see no harm in
stating it in this presence. Peace first,
then with charity for all, to establish a
government of law and order, protect
ing life and property, for the we'll
being of the people who will participate
in it under the Stars and Stripes.
81 believe that government should
be established there, the people sus-
tanned and their property protected.
The policy of the government in the
new possessions has aroused public
feeling, and there is no better place
than. in the presence of this vast as
semblage to make this statement.
Wherever the American flag flies
with the authority of the government
there should be protection behind it. ,
The scene which followed this utter
ance surpasses description. The vast
audience, breaking through the bounds
of enthusiasm, shouted until the roo
rang and ten thousand flags futtere(
| approval of the Presidents words.

ORDERS for the enlistment of more

soon by the War Department. The
quota of $4,000 enlisted men for the

only four regiments can be obtained

Twenty three regiments of volun-
