The excise commissioner of the little village of St. Louis has issued an iron ciad order that al. ss!eens- of every class shall be closed as tight as an oys- ter at l o'clock a. m., and the order is being enforced, so it is said. Most people will say that a man who cant construct a jag before that hour of the night ought to quit trying, but there are evidently some who require the entire night to fill up. Such will have to store a few extra cold bottles in the refrigerator. or make their arr arrangements to get drunk in daytime. We've no doubt that all the best peo- pie in St. Louis fervently hope that the commissioner may succeed in his ef- forts, and it would please them still better if he would set the time back to about 10 or Il at night. All the same, we have our doubts about the possibil- ity of enforcing his orders in such 8 city as St. Louis.

 The white man of the South has done a good part by the negro in giving him equal benefits of the public school fund' and furnishing him employment to support himself since he was set free. This is all that he can expect. The Southern white man has been the ne- gro's best friend, and if the corrupt politicians. a few Southern cranks. and the Northern fanatics will let the ne- gro alone 1t will prove much better for both races.

 What possible objection could any Montgomery person have to the estab- lishment of hospital in that city by the Sisters of Charity? Denomination has nothing to do with the beautiful acts of charity which they extend to anyone and everyone in sickness or distress, and their very presence in city always seems a benediction.

The Chicago Chronicle is convinced that the reason why the administration is trying to build up a strong Republi- can party in the South is because they expect to lose the great commanding States of the North" It is very likely that the reason given by The Chronicle is the correct one. but if the Republi- can party should really lost control of the Northern States indicated its chances for remaining in power are slim. It cannot recoup its losses by accessions from the States of the South,

DIR, srERNBERa's THEORY.

The Advertiser has watched with no little interest for the comments of the public press on the circular issued by Surgeon General Sternberg on the sub- ject of yellow fever, and other forms of malarial disease, and we confess 10 some surprise that so little has been said about it. The statements made In the circular are so thoroughly revolu- tionary, and so completely discredit everything that has heretofore been believed and taught, that we suppose the public is waiting to see what VIII be the result, and whether the new theory is correct or fallacious. The circular has been published, but two or three short extracts will not be out of place. The first is:
 The recent experiments made in Ha- vana by the medical department or the army having proved that yellow fever, like malarial feevr. is conveyed chiehy and probably exclusively by the bite or in the measures used for the prevention and treatment of this disease have be- come necessary.
 So far as yellow fever is concerned, in- lection of a room or building slmpy means that 1t contains infected mosqui, toes, that is mosquitoes which have Ted on yellow fever patients. Disinfectlon. therefore, means the employment or measures aimed at the destruction or these mosquitoes: The most effective or these measures is fumigation, eitner with sulphur, formaldehyde or insect powder. The fumes of sulphur are the quickest and themoet effective insecticide. but are otherwise objectionable. Formai- dehyde gas is quite effective, II the in fected rooms are kept closed and sealed for two or three hours. The smoke or insect powder has also been proved use & f,iI: it readily stupefies mosquitoes which drop to the floor and can be easiv oe- stroyed.

Again the circular says:

Medical officer stalking care or yeiow fever patients need not De lsoia. sntS iats with non-immunes with perfect satety to the garrison. Nurses and attendants tan ing care of yellow fever patients snail sn,i Is main isolated, so as to ayola any rnyosponitoes danger of their conveying mosuui'o0 from patients to non-immunes.
 These extracts are sufficient to snow the complete abandonment of all the old teachings and practices, and the equally complete adoption of the new theory. The extracts given. and other matter contained in the circular, go to show that yellow fever cannot be com municated from one person or locality to another by infection or contagion' as these terms are ordinarily under stood. Neither an infected person nor infected clothing or bedding will com mun;cate the disease. The only meth cd. in short, by which well person can take yellow fever is that the person must he bitten by a mosquito which has been feeding on yellow fever patient. No mosquito, no fever, is the conclusion of the whole matter.
 Under this theory, as will readily be seen. all the expense and worry and trouble of quaranties has been useless. It was time and money wasted to ess tablish and maintain quarantine. sta- tipns or to send out quarantine officers, or to isolate patients, or to take any other of the many precautionary meth ods which have always been used and ioh troublesome and expensive. It was as useless as would be building fire in the stove to keep off a cold wave. In short, any system of quarantine is a failure which does not have for it's primary and sole object the turning back and driving off the infected mosquitoes.
 If it should be asked why one person contracts yellow fever from another. the only answer is that the mosquitoes were on the person or in the clothing of the patient and that they bit and in- oculated all with whom they came in contact. If it should be further asked how it is that yellow fever frequently breaks out where no mosquitoes have been seen or heard of, we might say that the question is a conundrum. For it must be understood that conveying the eggs or larvae of the insects will have no effect. It must be a fully de- veloped mosquito, which has bitten a person suffering with yellow fever, and it must carry the microbes thus ob- tained and deposit them in the person before the fever can be communicated.
 We have mentioned a few of the many phases and difficulties which will naturally present themselves to any one who reads this circular. and it is one of the cases where the more one thinks about it the harder it is to recon cile all the difficulties. If General Sternberg succeeds in fully establishing his theory and of convincing the world of its correctness, he will have brought about the greatest revolution in all the annals of medical science.
