CoNsuMPTIvEs BARRED.

According TO a ruling OF the treasury
department, promulgated on May 4, Inn
migrants suffering from consumption
are barred from landing In the United
States, The ruling declares that aliens
applying for admission at ports Of the
United States and found to be suffering
from tuberculosis Of the lungs are with
in the class excluded by section Of the
act approved March O. 1891,
II seems that the supervising surgeon
general has declared that tuberculosis
is now considered contagious disease,
and on that declaration, the ruling Is
based.
The action taken will be endorsed by
public sentiment. While this country
should be open TO all classes Of people,
and more especially to those who come
here IN order to enjoy the privileges for
which the American flag ls or should
be, an ensign to all the world, 1t Is evil
dent that those who are afflicted with
disease, and more especially with con-
tagious diseases, should not be admit
ted. Consumption carries OFF large
per cent Of the human family every
year. 1t has been spreading to an
alarming extent in many countries, be-
cause II has not until lately been
recognized az a contagious disease. No
care. to speak OF, in the isolation OF the
patients, has been shown. This Is all
wrong. Persons thus afflicted should be
taken care of In hospitals specially
equipped for that purpose, and where
that Ia not possible private attention
should be given to them, and rigid rules
against the spreading Of the contaglon
be adopted They should not, while the
hand Of death Is silently closing round
their lungs so to other countries and
endanger the lives OF others. Until
some heroic measures are adopted
against this sneakng enemy It viii
continue as much OF a danger, as was
smallpox before the laws Of sanitation
were known and observed. as they are
today; or, as were cholera, the plague
and other angels Of destruction. 1t is
no infringement upon the rights Of
anybody, to bar diseased persons from
entering our shores. Human life Is a
constant warfare against sickness and
death. But In times Of war many rules
Of civil life are necessarily dispensed
with. 1t is so in the war against disease.
1t necessltates measures that under
other circumstances would be unjust

are much disturbed over forthcoming
article from the pen Of Minister Con-

from which were published In the Tri-

probable that Secretary Hay may pub
licly reproye the minister for discus

ject In which 80 many civilized nations

body has yet been Slated" for the post
Of which he (COnger) has asked to be
relieved. The extracts from the article
referred to are of very mild type of
commonplace. They might possibly
give offence to China, but could not
be deemed Objectionable to any other
power nor. so far as we can discern, TO
Mr. Conger's superiors In our govern

At the meeting of the American Medi-
co-Legal society a Brooklyn physician
read paper In which he denied that
there are any infectious diseases, his
argument being that the real cause OF
the spread Of disease is fear and not in
lection. No doubt when the nerves are
all unstrung through fear, the body be-
comes a greater prey to disease than
when fear and nervousness are absent,
but fear Of a disease is not the prime
cause OF catching It.. Fear of a disease
does not cause one, lpso facto, to catch
it any more than fear Of gun causes
one to catch q gunshot wound.
