The physicians Of the city are
unit In declaring that never before in
the history of the past five or six
years has there been such an epidemic
of la grippe here. 1t seems to be in
the "air' and nearly all Of the resi-
dents of Richmond have at least one
case in their homes. The following is
a partial list of those confined to their
homes with grippe: George gilbert
son, Adolph Blickwedel, John Rausch,
D. S. Pegg, E. B. McMahan, Mrs.
Israel Hollingsworth, Mrs. James
Kelly, Mrs II. z. Wood and many
others. An the grippe is not the only
disease raging in this city at present.
Measles and humps are everywhere,
especially among the children. The
school attendance is lower by ten per
cent this month on account of the
number Of school children of the high
school and grammar schools who are
out on account of the measles or
mumps. Several teachers have told
of cases of mumps which broke out
in the class rooms during recitations,
the faces Of the pupils suddenly swell
ing 1t is probable that the cases will
not grow less In number until the
warm weather comes.

The decision OF the Court Of Claims in the suit
of Warner Barnes q Co. against the United
States is Of interest as judicial vindication Of
the policy of the government, and as further
definition OF those war powers" which are too
commonly regarded as vaguely elastic. Briefly
stated, the case was this: After the acquisition
OF the PHILIPPINES by the United States under
the Treaty Of Paris, but before the establish
snent of civil government or the enactment Of
tariff laws for the Philippines by Congress,
duties were collected upon importations from
the United States. The plaintiffs claimed that
these were Illegal and should be refunded, be-
cause ar that time the Philippines were owned
10y the United States and were not a foreign
country. The decision of the Court OF Claims
fully sustains the government, declaring the
duties 10 have been legally levied and collected
II follows in part the precedent set in the Porto
Rico cases, but distinguishes the situation of
the Philippines from that OF Porto Rico, where
81 was held after the ratification OF the treaty
OF peace the military authority had no power
10 exact duties. Porto Rico was then at peace.
This latest decision goes thus somewhat fur
ther than its predecessors in respect TO the
specific grounds on which the imposition of
the duties is justified 1t is not that the
Constitution ana laws Of the United States had
not yet been extended TO the Philippines, but
that the Philippines were in a state of war and
were under military rule. Civil law was sus-
pended. Military law prevailed. The military
authorities had the right TO blockade the in
sular ports against all commerce. or TO prescribe
the conditions on which commerce would be
permitted 20 enter them Having such powers,
the military authorities had the legal right 10
levy duties upon commerce. These duties, then,
We're levied not under the statutes OF the United
States, nor by virtue Of any civil authority. but
as d war measure. They were exacted by the
military authorities as prerequisite TO the con-
duct of commerce and es contribution 20 the
funds needed for the prosecution Of the war.
The logic and the equity OF that decision VIII,
we think be generally convincing, and the de-
cislon itself viii be regarded with qualification,
not only as vindicating the policy OF the govern
Ynent, but also as contributing TO a clearer
understanding OF the conditions OF war and OF

The old rule, TO speak nothing save good of

not to be enforced, however, to the extent of

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

The interesting inquiry IS raised, for New
York's consideration whether the sanitary con-
ditions OF a camp Of Italian laborers are likely
to be superior TO those of a well kept and
orderly American village community. The cir
c,imstance which at present gives rise to it, not
for the first time. is briefly this:
Some years ago a village on one OF the chief
tributaries Of the Croton River was condemned
and obliterated, not because of any exception
ally unsanitary practices or conditions, but be-
cause the existence of any village, however
clean and neat, in so close proximity to the
water supply was thought to be a menace TO
the health of this city. The site of that village
has now reverted to the condition OF a primitive
wilderness as intersected by few rural
roads. Still further TO safeguard the purity of
the water the city authorities have forbidden
and prevent with the menace Of fines, any bath
ing in that stream or even boating or fishing At
the present time, however, important engineer
ing works. such as road building and railroad
Improvement are in progress there, requiring
the services OF many workmen. To facilitate
such operations camps and barracks for the ac-
commodation Of some hundreds of men have
been established near where the old village
stood. within pistol shot OF the banks OF the
stream and draining directly into It. More
than that the stream is constantly used by
these workmen for bathing and for laundry
purposes. This state OF affairs must be perfect.
u well known TO the city authorities, but they
appear to regard II with equanimity and ap-
prevail Wherefore we must conclude that they
think railroad or engineering camp occupied
by scores or hundreds OF italian laborers. with
only the most primitive sanitary arrangements,
Is not at all a menace to the purity Of stream.
We are inclined to think tina. most people win
differ from that opinion. Ncy-York wants prlre.
clean water. and is willing 10 par the necessary
price for getting it; but, after going TO the ex-
pense or buying out village in order 10 re-
move possible sources Of pollution IL does not
relish the idea OF having the ste Of that village

PARKER AND HILL.

Democrats who are not OF the baser sort,
who are afraid that the national convention OF
their party will make another blunder closely
resembling a crime and who think that Judge
Parker is the best hope Of salvation are evil
IDENTITY worried by the proprietary interest
which David Bennett Hill has established in
his canvass. They are so uneasy, in fact, that
they are eager TO expound another theory,
namely, that Mr. Hill instead of being the
creator and owner of the Parker candidacy, has
merely been shrewd enough to hitch his wagon
TO star of the first magnitude in the Demo
cratic armament in the expectation OF being
raised again above the dead level where he
belongs and would otherwise be left.
This effort 10 protect Judge Parker from the
blight to which his fortunes are exposed by Mr..
HIS conspicuous promotion is desperate rather
than ingenious. So long as Judge Parker shows
no disposition TO resent Mr.. HIPS air of pro-
prietorship and to dispel the inevitable pre-
sumption that their political principles coincide,
public knowledge Of the one will necessarily
influence public estimation of the other
