LOCKJdK IN CAMDEN

The whole country will be benefited by the
thorough investigation instituted by the author
tiles Of Camden into the recent outbreak of
lockjaw in that city. The alarm which was
naturally created in New-Jersey by half dozen
deaths from that cause had spread TO other
places where vaccination had of late been extern
siyely practised or was in contemplation on a.
large scale. and as a concession to this anxiety
temporary suspension of the work was
unauestionably wise.
From the outset, however, there was much
reason to believe that both the virus used
in vaccination ami the methods empIoyed in
performing that operation were perfectly blame
less There was never time when vaccine
lymph was so carefully prepared or its use bv
medical men so scrupulously conducted as the
present. 1t is hard to imagine why, if the yirus
employed in Camden had really been contami
mated with tetanus bacteria, vastly larger
number Of victims were not found after twenty
thousand vaccinations. Moreover. lockfaw nj
most invariably develops within a day or two
after its germs get into the system Yet tbe
malady appeared In Camden two or three weeks
after incubation with vaccine matter-a fact
strongly indicating infection from some other
source.
Dr. Barnes, the expert employed by the
authorities of Camden to look into this trouble
throws Hood of light on its origin. The fatal

THE TROUBLE AT PANAMA.

Dispatches from Colon report that the insur-
gents have surprised and captured that place
and are probably on the point OF dealing SINH
Iarly with Panama, and that hundred men
from the United States gunboat Machlas nave
been landed al Colon to guard the ralireao sta-
ton. The incidents described are the most I'M
pertant which have occurred for some time IN
that much troubled region. They do not now
eyer raise any new issues nor threaten any
complications. such as have repeatedly
been disposed of in a satisfactory manner our
ing the last fifty-odd years
Our treaty CT 1916 with NewGranada, no"
Colombia, guaranteed TO that country, posi-
lively and efficaciously' the perfect neutrality
of the IsthmuS of Panama. That. as we nave
recently had occasion to demonstrate unques-
tionably meant. and means, a guarantee against
alien aggression. and not against domestic dis
turbanea That is indeed. plainly ntimated III
the treaty itself in which the New-Granadan, or
Colombian Government guarantees to the gov
.'ernment of the United States that the right OF
"vay OF transit across the iSthmus SHAH De
"open and free" In brief the United States Is
bound to protect the isthmus from foreign COLI
quest and Colombia is bound to protect the
highway across it from interruption by domestle
disorder The United States is entitled 10 re-
ouire Colombia to fulfil this obligation AS Sec
rotary Fish declared in October 1873, lit is re-
.carded as the undoubted duty of the Colon
.bian Government 10 protect the road against
attacks from local insurgents. The discharge
of this duty will be insisted upon.
RIlt if the Colombian Government fails or Is
unable to discharge that duty? Then the 4 tnited
States is free to go in and do the work itSeii
II has done SO on several occasions hitherto,
notably in 1878 that incident calling forth the
,1tterance of Secretary Fish already quoted, ana
in 1855. at the beginning of President oleFe-
lands first administration. The present inter
rentiop-if the landing of bluejackets may he
so caIled-is merely a following of those prece-
dents There is 40 reason 10 appTehehd any
more serious work or more prolonged occupation
now than there was then. The insurgents ap-
naar to he entirely well disposed toward this
eonntrv and toward the railroad They are
fighting to upset the A1arroquin government, ana
NOT 10 blockade or TO destroy the railroad nor
to break the treaty with the United States
our mon are landed therefore. not to suppress
tho insurgents nor to intervene between them
and the government forces, but simply 10 90
noiice duty in safeguarding American properly
against Hossible mischief, the theory belhS lhat
il is better thus to prevent damage IMAM 10 let
# occur and then demand indemnity. 1t is con-
sdentlr to he assumed that our men will act
NTH frmness and discretion, and Will satlsfac-
terily serve the purpose whereunto they nave
been sent.

HR. LOWS NOTICE

Mr.. Low has been compelled to make the pub
lie announcement that after this week and until
further notice he must deny himself the pleas
ure of comforting at headquarters vita such of
his fellow citizens as have neglected to obtain
ibis consent in advance to an interview, and that
applications for office mailed later than next
Saturday evening cannot be considered. 1t
would appear from this that the inalenahle
right of officeseeking has been exercised with
fhe customary freedom since the recent munich
pal election. 1T would be monstrous injustice
10 say that nobody who asks for place in the
public service is nit TO hold one but from Mr.
Lows indirect confession that ne has been
simply overwhelmed by the onset of persons
Tariously interested in the next administration
it naturally follows that large proportion of
his visitors might better have stayed away. 1t
is impossible TO suppose that if only those who
had a reasonable hope of getting what they
wanted for themselves or their friends had
sought his presence it would have been neces-
eary for him 10 adopt policy of exclusion five
or six weeks before the beginning of his term.
IT will be observed that the Mayor-elect's notice
contains two exceptions to the general rule
which IL prescribes. Applications and sugges-
siens relating to the Board of Education and
hospital trustees need not be submitted at once
IN order TO secure attention. This statement is
.gravely made, as the circumstances required:
but 1t suggests humorous reflections neverthe-
less, fnasmuch salaries are attached to
the places 20 which it refers.
If the invasion which Mr.. Low has felt obliged
to check implies great display of vanity and
selfshness are inclined 10 believe that the
men who have frankly signified their desire to
get on the cifys payroll are not the only ones
who have shown those qualities. He must
have been compelled to listen TO a vast amount
of tedious and worthless advice since his cleo
.tion. There is a prodigious number of persons
who think their opinions of men and things are
peculiarly valuable TO everybody who has of
Aces TO bestow, and who assume that they are
sure TO be regarded as shining examples of dis
interested devotion to the public welfare as soon
as they have discairled all thought of personal
advantage in seeking TO equip and launch new
g administration. They never wait to have their
counsel solicited, but hasten to vouchsafe 1t at
the earliest possible moment, as If ceerity and
gratuitousness were the infaIlible test of public
epirt and practical service.
II is probable that Mr.. Low has been badly
pestered by advisers Of this sort, and is quite
ms anxious to get rid Of these Of those who
