MIR. MACRUM'S CHARGES.

Whatever may be thought OF ex-
method of seeking redress for alleged
grievances against the Mckinley adj
ministration, he has made circumstan-
tial charges which require investiga-
ton. They cannot be pooh poohed by
Secretary of State Hay. and his denials
are not entitled to consideration in the
absence of proof that they are true
While Macrum may not be particu-
larly endowed with discretion, and can
be charged with having abandoned his
post hastily at a critical period to come
home and arraign his government, he
declares himself willing and ready to
offer substantial proof that the British
authorities tempered with his official
mall. 1t will not be controverted that
his office. to say nothing of the man,
was entitled to respectful treatment ac-
cording to fixed diplomatic usaEcs.

prove to be unfounded it is the indi-

ground for them the people of the

M'KINLEY'S CHRISTIAN WAR.

Mr.. McKinley's censor in the Philip
pines appears to be getting little bit
lreIess about the private letters OF
soldiers. In this way he is letting some
things get through that ought to hurt
if it does not hurt the administrations
For example here is a letter from
Stephen E. Windsor of Co. B, Forty
fourth infantry. 1t was written from
Manila to friend at Quincy, III.
Among other interesting things he
says

in the premises.
The people of Rabun are thoroughly
in accord with the law under which we
are operating, which has been shown
bv their willingness to maintain and
enforce it at any and all times when
infringements have occurred.
In the county of Towns there are at
least 2, 500 head of cattle, almost all of
which have been specially inspected
either by Mr.. Penland or myself
There have been three sections of
small area in this county found to be
slightly infected, but by strictly and
rigidly enforcing the quarantine rules
and regulations and by administering
local disinfectants all these irregulari-
ties have been thoroughly removed and
the county seems to be perfectly
healt hful at the present. The people
of this county are to be specially COM
plimented for their loyal support and
valuable help rendered me in bringing
about the good effects above men
toned.
In the county of Union there are at
least 1000 mead ofcattle, most of which
have been specially inspected either
by Mr.. Collins or myself. There has
been found only two infected places n
this county, both of which were in the
Dooly district, in the northwestern
part of the county. These infections
were promptly removed by quarantine
inc the infected animals and applying
local disinfectants. The county now
seems to be perfectly healthful The
people of this county are thoroughly
in accord with the law, and are to be
congratulated for tbeir valuable as

county in its present healthful cOndi-

spected either by Mr.. Griffith or my
self. This county seems to be health
full, except section of some three by
seven miles in and around Mineral
Bluff, and this section is now being
rigidly quarantined, and the owners of
the cattle therein are daily applying
, local disinfectants, which, we hope, in
! the near future, will place this county
in good condition.
The people of this county arc doing
, all in their power to thoroughly re-
move all irregularities on this line,
and are to be specially complimented
for their loyalty in enforcing and up

INFECTION HAS DISAPPEARED.
Cattle Inspector Statham's Report to Com
missioner Stevens.


To Hon. o. B. STEVENS, Commits
sioner of Agriculture, State of
Georgia, Atlanta Ga.-Dear Sir !:
| have the honor to submit
to you the following report First
annual report of NJ. G. Statham, cattle
inspector for the counties of Rabun,
Towns, Union and Fannin, in state OF
Georgia
The people of the several counties
have appointed the following special
inspectors to assist me in the work :
In Rabun, M. w. Swofford; Towns j.
c.. Penland; Union, j. e. Collins: Fan
min, E. A. Griffith, who have done pro-
ficient work and rendered me much
valuable service in the discharge OF
the arduous labors incumbent upon me
in this early and almost experimental
stage of the work.
Taking the extent of the territory
over which am called to labor into
consideration the inspection has been
thorough and painstaking.
In the county of Rabun there are
two quarantine lines-One known as
The Federal line, which divides the
county almost in twain, running east
and west; the other running with the
Habersham county line and the South
Carolina state line, known as. the 10
cal line" There are at least 1000 head
of cattle in this county, almost all OF
which have been inspected either by
Mr.. Swofford or myself. There has
been found only two infected places,
which are of small areas; one was in
and about the pastures Of Jasper S.
Bleckley in the extreme eastern part
of the county near the South Carolina

state line the other was in and about
the partures of James McClain in the
extreme southwestern part of the coun-
ty, near the Hahersham county line.
Both sections of infections were north
of what is known as the Federal line.
In e4ch case quarantine regulations
were strictly and rigidly enforced, and
within a few weeks the infection or if'-
regularity totally disappeared. No in
lection or irregularity of any kind has
been found to exist between the two
lines, and we especially thank and COM
pliment the people OF this territory for

THE CAUSE OF YELLOW FEVER.

Cuban Physician Thinks 1t Is In
Some Way Connected with the Sea.
Much interest Is taken in Havana
in The discussion of the contract for
sewering and repavilg the city and
it's effect on the spread Of yellow fever.
DIR. Bango, Cuban physician Of more
than 20 years experience, said recent
ly to a correspondent Of the New York
Sun that he did not know whether the
sewerng and repaving of Havana
would eradicate the disease, as be did
not understand how it was caused. He
thinks that the cause of yellow fever
is in some way connected with the
sea, and he does not know of a place
where the disease is endemic which is
not seaport town. Cubans born in
the country away from the sea have
died of yellow fever on reaching Ha-
vana, which would seem to show that
the immunity extends only to persons
bred at ports where the disease is en-
demic.
In regard to the outbreak this year
DR.. BangO says that it is due more to
the prevalence of wet, damp weather
than to the presence in Havana of n
large number of nonimmunes, although
matters are not helped at all by their
presence. DIR. GOrgas thinks that the
experience of Havana will be similar
to that of Martinique and Kingston.

DEMOCRATIC PROMISES.
Mark l.. Crawford Says They Are .
sham and He Deserts
the Party.

Mark L. Crawford, ex-president Of the
international Typographical union, ex-
president Of the Chicago Trades assem-
bly, and first secretary OF the American
Federation of Labor, is supporting the
republican ticket this, year, and will
vote for Mckinley and Roosevelt. He
has always voted the democratic ticket
heretofore, and his reasons for not do
ing so this year are given by himself
as follows:
81 have voted the democratic ticket
ever since | have had a vote. have
acted with the party that. every four
years since 1860, had In their platforms
viewed with alarm the results OF re-
publican success at the polls, and the
tendency of republican rule towards
imperialism
with much mental reservation ] fol-
lowed the party in its declaration that
the civil war was failure; It's opposi-
ton to specie payment; its greenback-
ism; Its tariff for revenue only, and
last, but not least its rs to 4 heresy.
But must decline to take another dose
of 'l6 to I and imperialism and shall
vote the republican ticket.
"On Looking Backward | am i'm
pressed with the feeling that the war
was not failure; that specie payment
not only came, but came to stay; that
greenbackism was only the result OF
Indigestion; that we tried tariff for
revenue only TO our sorrow; thus clos
ing our manufacturing industries, par
alyzing the business OF the country
and making paupers Of millions of hon
est workingmen.
"If for no other reasons ! am going to
vote the republican ticket the coming
election. The difference in the two
planks concerning labor in the demo-
cratic and republican platforms are
ample. The democratic plank says:
" In the interests of American labor
and the uplifting Of the worklngman. as
the corner stone Of the nronspAritv Of our
country. we recommend that congress
create department OF labor In charge Of
a secretary. with a seat In the cabinet.
believing that the elevation OF the Amer
lean laborer will bring with 1t increased
protection and increased prosperity to the
country at home and to our commerce
abroad
Briefly the democratic party be-
lieves that the elevation Of the Amer
lean laborer, ETC. can best be accom-
plished by the elevation Of one man
to job.
"The republican plank reads:
1--WE renew our faith In the policy Of
protection to American labor. In that pol
Icy our Industries have been established
diversified and maintained. BY protects

been stimulated and production cheap

MINERS RESUMING WORK.


Hazleton, Pa, Oct. 3O-Operations
were resumed yesterday morning at a
majority of the collieries in the an
thracite district and they will be con-
tinued in full blast for the next two
months. The strike is still on at the
mines of the Lehigh & Wilkesbarre
Coal company, but matters were shap-
ing themselves last night for a set
Element of the difficulty and work
will be resumed on satisfactory
basis some time during the week.
The trouble at Cranberry will also
be settled and the men will be back
at work by Wednesday. A number
of collieries were crippled yesterday
on account of shortage of water
caused by the prevailing drought.
A Scranton dispatch says that the
Ontario e. Western company posted
the required amendment to its no
tees yesterday afternoon, explain
ing the powder clause, and its eight
collieries will resume to-day. The
Forest company's two colieries at
Archibald, where the men have been
on strike seven months, did not re-
sumo because the local grievances for
which they struck have not been adj
justed. With the exception of these
and two collieries that were not in
shape to start up, all the mines of
the Lackawanna valley were at work
yesterday.

M'KINLEY'S DIGNITY.
The President Has Made No Dem
onstration This Year.
Throughout the Campaign He Has
Confined Himself to His Duties
Of Office ~ Chief
Executive.

How many Of you have paused to
think of 1.-THE quiet dignity of that
figure in the white house? The rattle
and clash Of conflict so completely
claim the minds of the people that
attention is quite distracted from
Washington, where all eyes will just
A. certainly be turned next March.
1t is not the fault of those two
strenuous rivals, Col Roosevelt and
Col. Bryan, who carry the same title,
though differently won, that they
should have succeeded in making
themselves centers of interest. Where
they have moved and are now NOV
ing, the battle roars, and smokes, and
the witnesses watch it, fascinated. 1t
seems, sometimes, az if there were
nothing else to think Of; because, by
the very fury of the controversy, other
figures are temporarily off the stage.
The calcium flares redly on the active
actors and on the shouting hosts that
follow The one majestic figure of all,
that Is to command the universal eye
at the climax of the drama, is for
the present cloaked behind the screen
Of duty, temporarily forgotten by
reason Of the prodigious clatter and
hurly-burly elsewhere.
To the thoughtful Of his country
men, whether opposed or pledged to
him in political faith, the attitude of
the president must appear as ire
sistibly as his record. He has gone
on no journeys ana made no speeches,
because it has not been necessary, and
because to have done either would
have lessened the dignity of the high
Office to which he was chosen, and for
performing the duties of which the
people pay him as their honored and
