SMALLPoX.-No cases OF smallpox
1ave been reported in The city for sew
eral days and the number of Quaran-
tined houses is being reduced daily, so
much so that in few days it is be-
lieved there will not be yellow flag

patients are all doing we'll and are
more concerned about beiur ouaran-
tined 1han they are about the disease.
As stated in the Gazette of that date
che SYSTEM of inspection which was or

rigid. Persons were simply scanned
and if showing no signs of disease were
not molested. Comparatively few per-

Aqufnaldo as an Issue.

In the United States a certain pollti-
cal eXcresence feeds upon the hope
that disaster may be brought upon the
American arms in the Orient Not that
the followers of Aguinaldo in this
country have any particular interest in
the Filipino rebel leader. On the con-
trary he is merely an incident. He is
used for want of something better, and
his sole value is the possibility of ex-
citing by the use of his name a dis
trust of the government and of the ad-
minlstration. Col, Bryan, the chief
conjurer in the name Of the rebel
leader, has been preaching the mar
tyrdom of his idle of sorrows to Ken
lucky and Ohio, deluding himself into
the belief that in those two states the
campaign turns on the success of the
Tagals as against the American troops.
Across the water Aguinaldo looks on
and, seeing the efforts that he imag-
ines are made in his behalf, he is stim-
AldAth W new tllOl Ilt DCitNth llll
those whose speeches he reads are to
be relied upon as his supporters. But
Agunaldo is being played for the ego
tistical fool that he is. He will learn
after he has been thoroughly trounced
that the people of the United Stles are
not following the impossible prophets
OF folly, and that there is neither hope
for him nor for those in this country
who stand forth as his sponsors. II it
were only Aguinaldo and his rebellious
tribesmen and Bryan and his kind no.
body would shed more that the tears
demanded by formality in such cases
but there is the other side While the
country is sacrificing lives and treas
ures in the Philippines constituencies
politicians are making an inslncere
appeal to Ohio men to rally to the
banner of Aguinaldo. This encourages
him and increases the task of ending
the rebellion.-Pittsburg Times.

McLean's Hope.

1t is proverbial that more politics
to the square inch can be found in
OAlo than in any other state in the
Union. 1t is also a fact that while the
state is sOlidly Republican the Repub-
lIcans are a facetlous and sympathetic
set of cusses," who are apt in off
years to let their sympathies for the
under dog in the fight or their desire
to rebuke some of their own leaders,
&c, the better of their Judgment and
thus permit the election to go by de-
fau4..
To their credit, however, ii may be
said that they have never allowed the
opposition to win when a burning is
sue was involved in the campaign
Mclean, when he bought the nom
ination, felicjtated himself upon the
idea of this being an off year, and that
therefore the Republicans would quiet
ly remain at home, or at least play
with the Democrats as the cat plays
with the mouse. He is an astute in
dividual, and is fully aware that the
cat occasionally keeps its eyes shut,
and its head turned the other way
just an instant too long, with the re-
suit that the mouse reaches its hole in
safety.
McLeans hopes are based upon the
possibility that the Republicans will
play the part of the overconfdent cat,
thus enabling MIN to slip into the gu
bernatorlal chair.
He is leaning upon a broken re5d,
for the issues this year are the Stars
and Stripes, and the boys in the
trenches in the Island of Luzon.
Never has an Ohio Republican gone
back on the soldier or the Aag.-St.
