MAYOR wEAyER-s GREAT VICTORY.

Mayor Weaver, of Philadelphia, has
just won great victory for good govern
ment. The corrupt republican machine
that Is in control Of the city of Philadel.
phia undertook to give local gas com.
pany long lease of tha city gas works
on terms which would yield to the
gas company a profit of millions. The
citizens were aroused and entered q pro-
test, but the council was deaf to ali ap-
peals. Then the ministers held pub
lie meeting and offered prayer for the
mayor. The Influence brought to bear
upon the mayor was such that be deter.
mined to antagonize the machine, and
with the encouragement of the various
reform bodies, the ministers and the
newspapers, he made such q stand
against the boodlers that the
gas company was compelled
to abandon the. lease and drop the fight,
giving as reason that public opinion
was against the company. Seldom, if
ever, has there been in this country such
a signal triumph for honest municipal
government. Mayor Weaver is the
recipient of congratulations from all ov.
or the country, and The Commoner de-
lights to join in rendering greeting and
commendatiOn. But while Mayor
Weaver is receiving the largest share of
attention, we should not overlook those
who organized the fight and so
strengthened him as to enable him to
overcome a council full of grafters,
and back of the mayor and back of the
movement there will be- found some
courageous spirit who initiated the
protest and whose enthusiasm inspired
others. This person, whoever he may
be, ought to be crowned with the city's
appreciation and with him those who
joined in making the protest success.
What has been done in Phiiadel phia
can be be done elsewhere. In fact Phil.
adelphia is notoriously the worst gov.
erned city in the United States. and when
tbs shown that even in Philadelphia con.
science can overcome money, there
ought to be revival of hope in every
other NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

THAT PIEDMONT BAR CHESTNUT.

the Piedmont Hotel barroom, but gives his prof.

How ever can uncle Jess whoop it up for
Hoke as he does and Hoke an acknowledged bar

We were greatly surprised to find inyester-
DAYS People the above editorial comment on that
old Piedmont barroom chestnut, which was
started several weeks ago by the Atlanta Con-
stitution, and which has long since been acknowl-
edged by every fair minded editor in the state
to be an unjust malignment of a man who has
always stood on the side of temperance, and has
done more for the advancement of the cause OF
education in this state than any ten men that
can be named.
The editor of the People is a well posted
man and cannot be ignorant of these facts, there
fore we must assume that he was simply trying
to lure the narrow-gauge substitute editor OF
this great family necessity into making bad
political break in the absence of Uncle Jess"
We may lack discretion, but we're powerful
sandy and propose to "argify" with him a little.
Suppose, for instance, that the People was
owned by stock company, and that some mem
Der of the Law and Order League in this city
happened to own minority portion of the stock,
we claim that it would be as consistent for the
good people of Fitzgerald to hold him response

whitewash the actions of the "wide-openers,' as
it is for the People to malign Hoke Smith be-

YELLOW FEVER.

If there is anything in sanitary science
which has been satisfactorily demonstrated, it is
that yellow fever is neither contagious nor in
fectious disease, but is communicated only by
incubation, and that the mosquito is the sole
medium of this inoculatiQn. The virus in the
blood of the patient or corpse must be injected
into the blood of another person to communicate
the disease.
In the experiments conducted by the Reed
commission in Cuba several years ago under the
auspices of the United States government, sub
jects were constantly exposed to patients at all
stages of the disease, sleeping in the same room
and breathing the same air, and even after the
death of the patient occupying the bed with the
same bed clothing from which he had been re-
moved, and yet not case was developed there
by; while the mosquito bite tests brought on the
disease promptly on time in every instance.
Acting on these established facts the govern
ment has long since discontinued the practice of
fumigating the mails freghts, express matter
and other suppose-to-be precautionary measures
based on the contagion theory, which at this dis
lance appears so ridiculous and which have been
RELOCATED to the past along with the practice of
bleeding for facilitating fevers aud such like, and
adopted the more enlightened method of isolat-
ing the patient from mosquitoes and destroying
all those baneful pests found on the premises
where the patient is stricken with the disease.
The government promptly took charge of
the situation in New Orleans, upon the first ap-
pearance of the disease there and is enforcing
strict quarantine around the Italian quarter, in
which the disease originated, and is dealing with
the mosquito question in an effective manner,
and we may expect under the able direction of
Surgeon White, of the Marine hospital service,
to see the disease confined to this locality and
stamped out at an early date
The mosquito presents serious problem
with which we have to deal in the hygiene of the
future. But he must go.
Already vigorous war is being waged against
him in Cuba, on the isthmus of Panama and in
parts of the United States. Experiments made
by cities and towns in some of the eastern states
demonstrate that it is practical to exterminate
these pests by little care and labor.
During the dull season of the summer
months it might be well for the boards of health
in the various cities to apply little coal oil to
stagnant pools, sinks and sewer mouths where
these insects are incubated, while the private
citizen may greatly assist by seeing that no stag
nant water or Stops is allowed to stand on his
own premises.-Atlanta Constitution.
81 -
Mississippi's legislature meets but once in
four years and then its sessions last but thirty
days. Very few new laws are added to the
statute books, but the state appears to get along
very well. Fewer new laws and more rigid
enforcement of existing laws is what is needed.
