yellow Fever on the Border

The close approach of yellow fever to the
Texan boundary from Mexico opens an op-
portunity TO demonstrate how thoroupbIy
the sanitary ofhclals OF this country have

American occupation of Cuba Two facts
are now regarded by scientists as effectual-
~ established, first that this disease is
communicated by means of certain species
OF mosquitoes and not by the contact of a
sufferer with well person. second that the
old-fashiOned methods of quarantining are
of practically no avail whatever One of
the most striking demonstrations in Cuba
was that II is wholly futile to burn the
clothing of yellow fever sufferers in an eff

which had held yellow fever patients and
wore their clothing and did everything pos
slble To increase the chances of catching

believed to be so efficacious for the spread
OF the fever Not one of those men suffered
the slightest symptom of the fever. At
the same time the other side of the expert
inehl was proceeding Non-immunes were
bitten by mosquitoes which had previously
bitten fever patients. and these men sick

the entire southern section should feel
relieved in consequence. for in the light
OF present knowledge as to the character
OF the disease and its means of transmits

in the history of this country than that
which relates the cruelties and tyrannies

Clarke's position, with the difference that
coming from Mr.. Hanna in Mr.. Clarke
presence day after day, the argument would
have gathered force from the iteration.
Moreover. the people love a debate. They
enjoy seeing contestants brought face to
face. Such meeting Is calculated to de-
velop both men to the full, and to leave
little if anything in doubt as to their re-
spective merits.
AS Mr.. Dick observes. it is strange spec
tacle which presents Mr.. Clarke and Mr..
Bryan working together toward success at
the polls. The former asks US to believe
that he is still gold man, and the latter,
we all know, is still a silver man. But is
this stranger than the Endorsement OF Mr..
German for President by Mr.. Watterson?
The former is still a protectionist-as firm
in the faith as when he journeyed to st.
Louis in 1888 as Mr.. Cleveland's special en-
voy with a protection platform in his
pocket and asked the democratic national
convention to adopt it. The latter is still a

induced the democratic national convention
to reject the ClevelandGorman platform
and adopt one of the free trade variety.
1t is the day of compromises. Mr.. Clarke
wants to be senator. and his only hope-if
there is hope-of success is In the support
of Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Bryans friends. For
his part. Mr.. Bryan would derive some sat
isfaction from the defeat of Mr.. Hanna,
and so he goes to Mr.. Clarkes aid. Mr..
hope-if there is a hope-of success Is in the
support of Mr.. Watterson and Mr.. Waiter
sons free trade friends. For his part, Mr..
Watterson would benefit in certain ways
from having even a protection democrat in
the White House, and so he goes to Mr..
Germans aid.
But would Mr.. Clarke as senator ever
vote for free silver bill? Could he be
brought to take that view of the money
question? Would Mr.. German President
use the influence of his Office to forward the
tariff policy of the Observation-Disclosures
Carlisle school of tariff reformerS? In the
language of the poet, not on your life. And
what would be the result of the election of
those two men to the places to which they
now aspire by the votes of the men who
differ with them on the two topics in ques-
ton? Both would suffer Mr.. Clevelands
fate. Both In time would be denounced as
''bunco steerers."

persons were killed outright. seven being

appalling, for every person on board was
either killed or wounded. What happened to

Michigan and Reciprocity.

From the New York Tribune.
1t is rather surprising to learn that there
are still some western republicans who balk
at giving Cuba even the modest trade con-
cessions carried in the Bliss-Zaldo CONNER
cial treaty. We had thought that the fight
to deny the Cuban republic that access to
our markets which we were morally pledged
to give her had ended with the ratification
of the reciprocity convention in March last.
By the Senate's vote approving partial
scheme of tariff rebates reciprocity with
Cuba became a settled feature of our ma
tiOnal policy. By the text of the treaty
itself the reductions in duties granted by
the United States were not to take effect
until confirmed by legislative action. But
we had not dreamed that any group or fac
ton in the House of Representatives-least
Of all a republican group or faction-would
seriously attempt to block that legislative
affirmation. The report now comes from
Grand Rapids that ten of the eleven repub-
lican representatives from Michigan in the
Fifty-eighth Congress met in that city the
other day. and after some discussion de-
cided ito postpone committing the delega-
ton to any position on the Cuban reciproc-
ity question until the opening of Congress- .

But 1t would compel Messrs. Circuit and

the name of fusion and anti-Tammany, to
continue to denounce Tammany in their

The Colored Suffrage.

OF the platform adopted by the democrats
of Baltimore the other day the American or
that city says:
''In this remarkable platform combination
of pilfered principles and hypOcrisy-there IS
ONLY one other plank. affirming the state
convention plank on the race question. Inc
city democracy follows in the footsteps OF
the state body on that question. ana at
tempts to regalvanize the WORKOUT ana ex-
hausted race issue for campaign purposes.
This attempt will not. Of course, prevent
the democrats from trying on election DAY
to do as they always do-buy negroes 10
vote their ticket and to stay away from the
polls Here again is hypocrisy IN rankest
form, for the democracy. while parading the
bugbear of negro dOminat ton, hates the
negro only when he votes the republican
ticket and never fails to try to use the col
ored vote to its own advantage. procuring
1t by corrupt methods on election day.
Is there foundation for the claim put
forth in so many quarters that negro SUI
frage is Objectionable to the democratic
leaders solely because of it's ignorance and
compatibility? Or is the real objection, as
the American suggests, founded on the fact
that the negro as rule votes the republi-
can ticket? Outside of the lower southern
states-that is. wherever his vote is
counted-the negroes suffrage is solicited by
the democratic campaigners. and gladly &C
copied when for any reason he will bestow
it on democratic candidates If he is open
to honorable argument he is politely argued
with: if corruptible, he is promptly cor
rupted Everything goes in the chase for
majority.
The same struggle over the colored vote
which the American promises will take
place in this years campaign in Maryland
will be observable In other states where
campaigns are in progress In MaSsachu-
sets there are over ten thousand negro
voters. in New York over thirty thousand.
in Ohio over thirty thousand. in Pennsylva-
MIA over fifty thousand. The support of
these men is being solicited by the demo-
cratic campaigners. In New York and Ohio
there are clubs formed of colOred demo-
Gratis. and in New York there is man who
plays the game of politics we'll he has
earned and enjoys the soubriquet of the
"colored Croker" 1t was only the other
day we were told in the dispatches that
Mr.. Johnson in Ohio was making quite an
impression on the colored population, and
seemed assured of substantial cOlored as
SiStance at the polls.
Election laws which have for their object
the elevation Of the suffrage and the elimi-
nation of the ignorant and corrupt eie
ments of our citizenship are to be welcomed
wherever passed. And such laws will
never directly or covertly draw the color
line, for ignorance and corruption are not
confined to any one race. But election laws
framed palpably for the purpose of creating
partisan majorities are objectionable in
every way. and in conflict with the spirit if
not the letter Of the Constitution.
