ALDERMAN sCHWARZ AND HIS
IOANF,S.

We don't blame Alderman SchWarz iu The
least for thinking that il IS of more I'M
portanoe than his patrons shall have well
baked bread than that the spoEsm5n shall
sci control of The gis.eusary. He T. dis
posed TO go with MS political friends wnen
he thinks he can DO 50 without injustice TO
the interes.s Of The public, bu, he knows
that the people have honored aim on
number of occasions because they have
confidence in MIN, and it is not 70 be Won
cered al therefore hat when mis- assistance
is required to turn men out Of Office.
against whom there Is no complaint, III
order that others may be provided for, he
prefers 10 bake bread.
AS far as We have been able 10 discover
there is no legitimate complaint against
The presen Mt dispensary system, or against
the keeper of the dispersary on the con
trary. under The present arrangement the
dispensary has given very great satisfac-
ton. II is admitted that the dispeusary IS
being conducted economically, honestly
ana in every other way for the best inter
est of the public. If there were a well
grounded complaint against the dispensary
keeper, or the system on which the dis
pensary Is being conducted, or il it were
shown that il was proposed to conduct the
disptn sary at less expense to, and TO the
greater satisfaction of, the public, there
would be very little opposition to the pro-
posed dispensary ordinance. We haven't
heard, however, that the purpose of the
proposed new dispeusary ordinance IS for
the benefit of the public. The inference
from what has been said in print in res
pect 10 it is that The places connected with
the disponsary are wanted for persons
who are allied with the faction which
carried the election IN the last municipal
contest IT may be that this is an enron
eous understanding of Che situation, but
it is the understanding that is gained from
what is beins said about the proposed dis
Densary ordinance.
At meeting of the Sanitary Board the
other day there was an expression of opin-
ion to the effect that the dispensary was
being admirably conducted. and that il
would be advisable to let st alone. The
Sanitary Board contains members who are
closely allied with the dominant faction
in city politics. II is apparent, therefore
that the movement to Dust the present
dispensary employees, and put the dispen-
sary on a different basis. hasn't the unan-
imous support of that faction.
We have no other interest in this matter
than that the public shall get the best
possible results from the dispansary at the
least cost AS the proposed new dispensary
ordnance doesn't hold out any promise of
| benefits to the city, we hope that Alder
man schwarz viii find that his bread needs
his attention whenever his vote is wanted
| to pass the proposed ordinance.

DoTY,s MELLOW FEVER CASE.

Health officer Doty of New York is get
ting a good deal of advertising out of the
Lackey yellow fever case. He has given
a statement of the main points of the case
TO the New York newspapers and promises
that a detailed account of it shall appear
in the Medical Record. The whole country
is, to certain extent, familiar with the
case. Mr.. Oscar F. Lackey was taken
from the transport Mcclellan at the New
York quarantine station on July 6. The
transport Mas from Santiago. DR.. Doty
says that Mr.. Lackey was suffering from
yellow fever, and he began treating him
with the serum discovered by Prof. Sana-
reln of Montevideo. In his statement of
the case DR.. Doty tells how he administer
ed the serum, the sort of nursing Mr.
I.ackey received and the kind and amount
of food he was permitted to have.
The patient was dismissed as cured last
Tuesday morning. The question which has
been raised is this: Did he have yellow fe-
yer? Or. Doty says he had but is the doc
tor yellow fever expert? 1t is probable
that he has seen very few cases of the dis
ease The symptoms Of some other fevers
are so much like those of yellow fever that
they are mistaken for yellow fever symp-
toms when that disease is known to be
abroad 1t may be, as DR.. Doty says, that
Mr. Lackey had yellow fever, but there is
doubt in the minds of some of those who
are familiar with that disease. They CON
tend that if Mr.. Lackey had yellow fever
he would have died soon after landing at
quarantine station under the treatment
adopted by DR.. Doty. Ii must not be for
gotten, however. that the treatment of vel
low fever is very different now from what
| il was a quarter of a century ago, even by
| the best known yellow fever experts. As
comparatively little is known about the
disease it is not safe 10 say what is the
best treatment for il.

1T MAY DEFEND on THE PHILIP
PINES.

I'm IFS address 20 the public the South
crn Industrial League. which held its ses-
zionz IN Atlanta this week. said: 1T Is
the earnest desire Of all interested in the
South TO see the speedy completion of the
Nicaragua canal. as a great International
channel Of commerce the opening of which
would be greatly to the advantage Of the
commerce and manufactures Of the South
IT may be that the reason there is such
a strong feeling in the South, and in fact
throughout the country. in favor of hold
ing ON to the Philippines is the belief that
the possession of them by our gov
eminent would hasten the building of
the Nicaragua canal II is evident thar
our commerce with them, and with China
and Japan, will not be confined to the Pa
cinc coast BY far the greater portion Of
IL win be controlled by the cities
OF the Atlantic coast The cotton and
cotton manufactures, for instance. will
20 TO them from ports of the South At
lantic coast But the cost of transpor-
ting freights by railroad TO the Pacific
coast, 20 be shipped thence TO the Philip
pines, or to China or Japan, or of send
ing them to their destinations by the all
water routes, would be too great In pro-
portion as our trade with Eastern coun-
tries increased the demand for the Nicara-
qua canal would increase. The footing
which we now have in the Philippines has
greatly strengthened the movement in the
direction of the canal.
There isn't any doubt that one of the
reasons why Senator Morgan Of Alabama
is such an ardent expansionist is that he
is enthusiastically in favor Of the Nicara-
qua canal lie has done more than any
other public man in Washington to keep
it before Congress and the people. He
thinks he sees that the possession of the
Philippines will insure the early coustruc-
ton of the canal 1t is not improbable that
he believes that If we give up the Philip
pines the Pacific railroads win be able to
prevent the government from giving aid
to the canal project for a great many
years.
There is undoubtedly ground for think
ing that the Nicaragua canal and the
Philippines are linked together. We don't
know whether the Southern Industrial
League held that view OF not. 1t said
nothing about The Philippines IN its ad-
dress to the public. though one of its
speakers, Mr.. Tompkns of North Caro-
lima. made a strong plea in favor of ex-
pansion. If the members of the league
had been polled, it is probable that II
would have been discovered that a ma
iority of them were expansionists. Manu-
that wider markets are needed for the
products Of our factories, and they are
in favor of any policy which promises tc
create a greater demand for our manufac-
tured prducts.

Saint Peter sits by the heavenly gates,
His hands on the strings of a Tyre
And he sings low song as he patiently
waits
For the souls of those who expire.
He hears in the distance the chorus of
That swell from the foot of the heavenly
throne
And he smiles as the music is waited
along
And MARBLES lay of his own:
There is room in this region for millions
of souls,
Who by sorrow and woe were bereft;
It's for those who have suffered the mel
ody rolls,
But the kickers must turn to the left.
There is room for the people who, when
they were young,
Persisted in sowing wild oats,
Yet who doomed up their town with sinew
and tongue,
But the kickers must go with the goats
There is room for the people who pointed
with pride
To the beauty and growth of their town:
Who kept singing their praises aloud TIL
they died,
But the kickers will please amble down
They'd say that the music was all out
of tune
And the angelic robes hand-me down
And they'd send for jeweler off of the
moon
To sample the gold in their crown.
so while there is room for a million Of

Special reports In some of the Northern
papers of the Saffold affair show that there
has been a prodigeous amount of unmti-
gated lying-a less harsh Characterization
will not fit the case-by the correspondents
of those newspapers. In some of these
reports it is stated that the "frenzied
throng cut strips of flesh from the with
ing body of the victim" and in others
that the man Mack was hayed alive, that
his body was cut to pieces and the pieces
were distributed TO the crowd The truth
Is that at the moment these dispatches
we're written Mack was alive and unhurt.
and that he was not hanged for several
hours afterwards. It was also te.egraphed
60 the Northern papers that six men had
been killed, and that nearly all OF them
had been mutilated, the special dispatches
going into shocking details. The truth
is that only two men had suffered death
for the Saffold outrage. They were the
principles in the crime. and had confessed.
Is it impossible to bring such mendacious
correspondents TO a realizing sense Of the
injury they are doing the state and the
South by circulating such stories? Lynch

not be made 20 appear worse by piling on
the horrors. If there can possibly be such

FARMERS NOT ALONE CONCERNED

In his address before the Southern IN
dustriaI League at Atlanta Hon Pope
Brown said that the farmers were not
alone concerned in the low price of cot
ton. That is well understood by every
body in the South. When the price Of
cotton is low times are hard When il
is high times are, as a rule. good As
to whether the South is prosperous or
not depends largely on the price of cot
ton. That is the South's great crop 1t
sells for cash, and with cash the farmer
can get whatever he wants-that is 10
the extent of his money. But as Mr.
Brown pointed out he would have a great
deal more surplus cash if he were to ex-
ercise more Judgment in his farming. He
will fell to reach the degree of prosperity
within his reach even when the price OF
cotton is low, until the South ceases 90
import turnips from Canada, meat, and
corn, hay, flour, oats, chickens and eggs
and other things from the West"
Mr. Brown says the price of cotton is
below the cost of production, and yet there
are very few farmers who are giving at
tention to poultry, cattle and dairy prod
ucts For ell of these things there is q
very good market here in the South In

Here is suggestion from New York
state which might be awaited of in the
South whenever possible in cases of at
tempts at lynching; At Binghampton the
other day a mob attacked the jail for
the purpose Of taking out and lynching
two negroes who had murdered a priest.
The sheriff tried to persuade the crowd 90
dispense and let the law take its course.
but the mob wouldn't listen "Then. "
says the Suns report, "a large hose was
secured and the stream was turned on
che mob. For a moment it hesitated.
Then there was O backward movement
and it broke, scattering in all directions.
The leaders, who were soaked, went to
their homes to change their clothes, and
the remainder Of the mob melted away. %
Under certain circumstances It might be
wen FOR governors to order fire engine
companies to the relief of beleaguered
sherifs, instead of sending military com
nanies.
