QUARANTINE REGULATIONS.
The Fight Between Federal and
State Officials.

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 24.-Customs
Collector Jackson received instructions
from the Secretary of the Treasury to
cooperate with Federal Quarantine Of
ficer DR.. Kinyoun in keeping unauthor-
lied persons from boarding or leaving
vessels without permission of DR.. Kim
youn.
1t is believed that the Sacretary's in
structions are aimed at State Quaran-
tine Officer Cohn. The fight between
the State and Federal branches of the
quarantine department has been going
on all over the United States, and it is
understood that the Federal authori-
ties have decided to end the battle by
kepeing State quarantine officials from
boarding or leaving vessels without
permission from the Federal quarantine
officers, which permission is being with
held in every case.

There can't be very much to do in

does not do it. The position seems to
be a soft job With little to do and much

the winter he went to Georgia and to
Jekyl island, the heaven of the million
aires; in the spring he spent some time
in Virginia. at the springs, resting and

In the early summer he went to New
England to make a few speeches and

contrast to the official life of Mckin-
ley. Abraham Lincoln found some
work to do in the presidents office and
he 2tayed there diligently employed for
over four years. He made; some busi-
ness, but no pleasure excursions. He
went to the soldiers home occasionally.
He visited the sick and wounded SOL
dlers in the hospitals. He went into
the enemy's country once to treat with
the rebels. Mckinley hasn't been in
the enemy's country. Lincoln went to
Richmond after the capture, but he
didn't visit pleasant springs and breezy
lakes. He didn't go to sunny southland
IN winter or to cool northern lakes and
groves in summer. He didn't go of
on political missions or travel a thou
sal miles to tell the soldiers that he
loved them, They knew that without
telling. With Lincoln the presidency
was a tragedy while with Mckinley it
is a picnic. Yes, there is a great con-
trast between the first republican pres
ident there ever was, and the last one
there will ever be. ...I.... ......'
