THE:-:DEMOCRAT.

SCRATCH a democrat who is
saying he will not support a
populist for congress in this dis
trict this year and you will find
a man who wants to see Long
returned to congress. Scrath a
populist who says he will not
support a democrat for congress
in this district this year, and
you will find another man who
wants to see Long returned.
But you can't find much scratch
ing along that line. The vast
majority of both democrats and
populists in this district will
loyalty support the nominee OF
the Great Bend convention,
whether he be democrat or
populist. AS the republicans
say; "Where's the difference?

COURT STOPPED QUARANTINE.
Judge Held That 1t Disseminated
Against One Race.

San Francisco, June 15>-In the United
States Circuit Court to-day Judge Nor
row rendered a decision in the case of Jew
Ho VS.. the Board of Health of this city,
dissolving the general quarantine of a Sec
ton of Chinatown now enforced by the
Board of Health, owing to the alleged ex-
istence of plague in this city.
Judge Morrow held that the quarantine
was discriminatory in its character, mas
much as only members of the Monaghan
race were held within its restrictions; that
the method of quarantine tended more to
increase the danger of contagion from
plague because it quarantined a district
instead Of the houses within a district.
Regarding the existence of plague
Judge Morrow stated that he was not
qualified 20 pass judicially upon the ques-
ton. owing to conflicting testimony, but
that if il came within his power to de-
eide in the matter, he would declare that
plague does not or has not existed.
Al the meeting of the Board of Health
this afternoon, the quarantine was de-
clared dissolved.
