CURRENT COMMENT.

The Springfield (Mass.) Republican
adelphia surprises every one by dis
playing certain kittenish tendencies
toward municipal reform. Having
been chosen by the Quay machine, his
official has good deal to contend
with, but it is to be remembered that
some day a Mayor of Philadelphia
may wake up to the fact that there
is an opportunity to achieve a national
reputation in his position by simply
being good, Perhaps the present Mayor
sees the chance"
The Washington Post Qnd.) says:
ut is our conviction that Mr.. Bryan
will not control the Democratic Con-
vention next year; that he will not
name the candidate or inject into the
platform any more OF the Chicago or
Kansas City planks than the leaders
regard with favor; finally, that he will
fail in airy effort to impair the voting
strength of the party, no matter how
noisy his protests or how truculent the
threats of the ever faithful. The DEM
oCracy are much given to dreams be-
tween times. They are full of BUSH
ness at the polls
The Montgomery Advertiser Oem.)
says: "While cotton is playing
around the ten-cent mark, there is
precious little of the article for deliv-
cry, and but little of that little be-
longs to the men who planted and
made it. If the spectators want to
help the country, they should set
prices up to ten cents next fall and
winter so that the money can be wide
ly circulated instead of going into
the hands of a few. The present
furry will only serve to encourage
the planting of a big crop of cotton
and the neglect of corn"
The Philadelphia Record (Dem }
says: THE closing bids for United
States Steel Corporation stock were IS
for the common and SIS for the pre-
ferred on the day when the annual re-
port showed that after paying inter
est and setting aside large sums for

LONG-LIVED GERMS.

Epidemics of contagious and infec-
tious diseases-particular smallpox,
yellow fever, scarlet fever, measles and
some others-come Unexpectedly and
rather mysteriously. 1t is often possi-
BILE to find whence came the first
case of smallpox from which an cpl
demic originated, but it is not so easy
yellow fever epidemics. 1t seems to
us that the dispatch from Scipio, Ind,
which we published yesterday, in
which 1t was stated that a young wom-
an of that place had died from
smallpox, having contracted 1t from
the clothing of her father who
died from the same disease thirty-five
years previously, contains a lesson that
should be needed in every household.
She opened trunk in which the cloth
ing of her father had been packed, and
she was taken with the disease just
two weeks afterwards. The germs of
the smallpox had remained active dur
ing the whole of the period during
which the clothing had been locked in
the trunk.
1t will be recalled that a woman
died in this city from yellow fever
year or so after the epidemic at Mem
phis, and that she contracted the dis
ease from the clothing of her son who
had died in that city during the cpl
demic. In the early summer she open
ed his trunk to take out the clothing
and give it an airing. In a few days
she was stricken with the fever and
died from it. Doubtless the epidemics
which come and go very often origin
ate from the exposure of infected cloth
ing-clothing which may have been
packed away for quarter or even half
a century.
The Importance therefore of thor
oughly disinfecting homes after there
have been cases of infectious diseases
in them cannot be overestimated. And
it seems to us that If the Marine Hos
pital Service were to place less reliance
upon thorough disinfection of vessels
at ports, because of the mosquito the
ory or some other theory, it would
make a great mistake.

The decision of the United States Cir
cult Court of Appeals in the case of
the government against the Northern
Securities Company possesses more
than a passing interest here in the
South, for the reason that it has been
stated that If the courts upheld that
company in it's effort to shut off COM
petition between the Northern Pacific
and the Great Northern railways a
Southern Securities Company would be
formed for the purpose of placing
number of the Southern roads under
one control.
The decision, a full synopsis of
which was published in our dispatches
yesterday, may have been a surprise
to the promoters of the Northern Sc
curities Company, but it is doubtful if
the general public expected any other
outcome of the suit.
1t seems plain that the purpose of
the Securities Company is to restrain
trade. 1t controls the two great rail-
way properties because it has a ma
jority of the shares of each, and can
make the rates what it pleases-that
is, so long as the rates do not conflict
with the rates fixed by state commits
sions- 1t can prevent competition, and
that is the main point aimed at by the
promoters of the Securities Company.
The court went into long argu-
ment to show why the Securities Com
pany is an illegal institution, but the
sum and substance of its opinion is
that the purpose of the Securities Com
pany was to prevent competition, and
that, therefore, it was a violation of
the antitrust act.
1t was argued in behalf of the Sc
curities Company that the object it had
in view would be advantageous to the
public and to the two railway COM
panies-that if the company were per-
mitted to control the two railroads
rates would be stable and other things
would be better for all parties con-
cerned.
The court refused to consider that
view of the case, holding that 1t had
nothing to do with it. 1t had only to
consider the single question as to
whether or not there was violation
of the antitrust Eaw, and it came to
the conclusion there was. 1t held that
it was matter of policy as to whether
or not it would be better for the public
to have the two roads operated under
one and the same management, and
that Congress alone had the right to
deal with that phase of the question.
The case will be appealed. Mr.. Nor
gan says that it would have been APP
pealed If 1t had been decided against
the government; so it seems that when
the case was begun it was understood
by both sides that it would be carried
to the court of the last resort. Its i'm
portance is So great that it should he
passed upon by the Supreme Court.

A Naval Joke.

carrying in his hand a telegram Il
wish to make an announcements very
sad announcement" he said in funeral
tones Under the circumstances it
scarcely seems fitting that the enter
tainment should proceed. Word has
just been received that one of the
navy's vessels has gone down with all

of those in the audience were connect

came a voice from the rear of the hall

the instructor, as he lodged and made

animal, offering reward of $50. He

promised that if the dog were restored
no questions should be asked. "Jem"
Smith said he would do his best, and
went his way. Six weeks later "Jem'
