THE quarantine of Maury County
by the State Board of Health, and
the call for mass meeting to pro-
test, is going to get up row. These
rows are in nowise conducive TO the
business interests or health condi-
tions of the town or county. 1t is
unreasonable to place the whole of
Maury under quarantine, and to
forbid railroads from selling tickets
to or from Columbia. The eXigen-
cies of the case do not require such
extreme measures. The Board can
not coerce public sentiment to sup
port them. They should appeal
more strongly to the sense and rea-
son of the people, and that may be
more effectively done by conserva-
tive regulations than by extreme,
radical measures. A committee of
business men should have confer
ence with the State Board of Health,
and induce them to rescind in part
their manifesto. IL there was an
epidemic of smallpox both in Co.
lumbia and Mt. Pleasant, even that
would be no good reason for DURAN
timing the outside world against
the whole county of Maury. But
there is no epidemic at all. Only
four sporadic cases in Mt. Pleasant
Maury county has already spent
over fifteen thousand dollars trying
to comply with health board re,
uuirements. The State Board should
remember this, and give Maury more
considerate treatment.

A GROWING EVIL.

Under the head of Cost of Nation
al Campaigns, the initial number
of THE Worlds Works" presents a
most interesting article, showing
how rapidly and to what an alarm
ing extent the evil OF using money
in Presidential elections has gro En.
The whole expense of Lincoln's first
nomination. it Is asserted. was less
than 500; and this included the cost
of headquarters, kilograms, music,
fares of delegates and incidentals.
1t 1854, at most critical hour In
the country's history, the sum of
800 900 was all that was spent to
secure the reelection of Lincoln.
campaigning since them" the ar
tIcle continues, "has bee ONE a fine
art, and costly one. 1t is well with
in the bounds To say that it will cost
more than 100000 to elect a Presi-
dent this year. This sum will be
spent by the National Committees
o. the two great parties, and does
not inclu ie the funds collected by
the Stat Committees. Congressional
Committees. and smaller agencies"
In 1875 more than 100000 was col
lected and spent by the campaign
managers Of the two parties. Four
years later they had at their dis
posal more than $1,000 600, and in
1884 the campaign disbursements
were half as much again. In 1888
the Harrison Cleveland campaign
cost not less than $500 900; and in
the campaign of 1892 the expendi-
lures of the two National Commit
tees were quite so 100000. Finally,
in 1896, more than 100000 passed
through the hands of Chairman
Hanna and Chairman Jones and
their associates.
Startling as these figures of recent
campaigns may seem, the end is not
yet aud the evil is growing. 1t is
estimated by many that the nation
al campaign of the Republican party
alone this year will amount to tens
of millions.
The expenditures of such vast
sums of money is also an interesting
feature of the question. There are
headquarters for the National Com
mittee, with its extensive equip
ments, clerk hire, etc, costing at
least SO 600 day torchlight parades,
such as are held in New York
City and Chicago, which cost any
where from $l2 600 to $4,000 each ;
large public meetings, rent of halls,
music, speakers, decorations, adver-
Using, printing, ct cetera. All these
may be considered legitimate ex
penditures; but large amount of
money is used for purposes of cor
ruption. A good many newspapers
are NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. in for
eign tongues, and certain class
journals, mostly in the larger cities,
whose editors stand ready to support
either party for a consideration.
The monev expended for the purpose
of buying votes in an unknown
quantity, but it must be vast one.

lican National Committee. is said tc

IF the HERALD may judge by the
expressions heard in private from
considerable number of people, all
that is needed to secure for Columbia
"a higher class of entertainments
than have been coming here, Is
organization. The Opera House
management do not bring them be.
cause they have found it to be
losing venture. Lectures and con-
certs and readings,'as rule, do not
pay, unless they have some sort of
local influence behind them. Hence
all wide-awake cities and towns
have their Lyceum Courses, and sell
season tickets, and the members all
interest themselves in working up
their entertainments as they come.
Now, In our judgment, the only rea-
son Columbia has not an organiza
ton of this character, is because no
one has taken the trouble and res pom
sibility of working it. We are all
too busy with our own private
affairs, it seems, to attend TO this
public duty we owe to ourselves and
our children. But can't it be oon-?
Won't somebody suggest meeting
somewhere, sometime in the near
future, to parcel out this work and
appoint committees to do what none
of us seem incline to take it upon
ourselves to do. We all know, and
the most of Us are ready to admit,
that our entertainments as rule
and on the whole are inane and I'M
profitable. There is no harm in re-
ceptions. Shaking hands and sip
ping frappe is innocent enough. But
there is a craving for something bet.
ter, something more substantial and
improving. Something the devotees
themselves will not come away from
and say there is a sort of unsatisfac-
tory nothingness about it. And peo-
pie get tired of cards. They go and
play, and smile and say pleasant
things to the hostess as they leave
but they confess to each other that
they are weary of it. And of course
they are. They have had too much
of it. They need change. Not an
abandonment of lighter amusements
entirely, to something heavy, but q
change of diet; something to res
them from what they are tired of
and to feed their minds enough-5u
not to surfiat = with something
higher, nobler and better. The
HERALD as a newspaper is not oppos
ing card playing, dancing or recep
tions. These may go on and doubt
less will go on forever. But too
much of even good thing pail
upon the appetite, and we believe
there was never better time thar
now to organize Lyceum Course il
Columbia. If somebody will sug
gest the time and place, the meeting
we believe, will be we'll attended.

He said that l was mad. and made
a dash for the alarm in order to stop
the train. AS I held him I pointed out
that his view as to matches was not
the general view; and If he stopped a
train to the few which l had
thrown out of the window he would
get himself into trouble.
He sank back on the cushions-si-
lent, sulky and defeated. After awhile
he said that he vas sorry he had ever
given me the cigar. I explained that
l. on the contrary. was glad.
When we got out at Waterloo l led
him to the automatic machine. gave
him a penny and told him to make up
his mind to buy matches for himself.
With a look of ~dlabolical cunning he
slipped the penny into his pocket and
dashed off to the refreshment room
When l last saw him he had intrench-
ed himself behind the hot water ap-
paratus, and was waiting with spark

more matches.

TOO MANY WOMEN2
Rsasons Why Not Every Woman Can
Have Husband

Have Husband
Strange tales have come from the
Klond!ke about unmarried women
who, having gone with their fathers
or brothers to a mining camp, have
been %besought to take their pick Of
millionaires and wed and settle down.
Millionaires were numerous in these
places, but each individual millionaire
was lonesome. He did Eot like to see
a woman open a restaurant or a laun-
dry-any Chinaman could do that.
Women were too rare and precious to
serve in any capacity but that Of wife.
A continental scientist named Rauber
argues hat the nearer We approach
these Klondike conditions the nearer
we shall come to solving many social
problems. Because in cilivized states
the women outnumber the men. not
every woman can AVE a husband. In
stead Of experimenting some mans
effort to make a living. many a spin
ster goes into an Office or shop or fac
tory and becomes his competitor. This
is d%eplorable, DR.. Rauber thinks. Yet
since civilization will hardly consent
to kill off these women. our scientific
friend suggests that we might restore
the balance between the sexes by TAX
ing better care of young males. More
boys than girls are born, but boys are
harder to raise. They have a natural
propensity for risking their lives, and
every genuine boy gives way to II
about ffty-two times a year. When
the chance turns against one, some girl
loses the husband she might have had
and in the Rauber view. becomes su
perfluous and dangerous. There was
once a nervous man who, while recOv-
ering from the Fourth Of July. pro
posed that at the age Of three years
every boy should be headed up in a
hogshead and fed through the bung-
hole until he reached the age Of 10,
Boys in hogsheads. he thought. would

could enforce this method Of preserva.
ton, he might ultimately be able to
provide a Jack for every Jill. Doubt.
less there would be great doings on
the day when the hogsheads were
opened. And yet we fear thst many
feminine beholders would sniff at the
contents. Although bachelors swarmed
like fees in August, thousands OF
