The PncIac Coast Heard From.

Orange County (Cal.) Plaindealer.
 Gentlemen who profess the belief that reciprocity will destroy any industry now in existence in California labor under a great misapprehension. It Is not so long ago that these same gentle men were sore distressed. and worked themselves into q condition of nervous prostratiOn over the proposition of ad- hitting the products of the Hawaiian Islands free of duty to this country. It would ruin the sugar and other indus tries of the Pacific Coast.
 Has it?
 A little later. when it was proposed by Mckinley, and afterward insisted upon by Roosevelt, that the duties on Cuban products be lowered, the same signal of alarm and distress was sound ed throughout the land. It would ruin the wine, the fruit, the orange and the sugar industries of the Pacific Coast and of the country at large.
 Has it?
 \ Three things are working among the masses at large for a change in the tar if. Greed. Graft and Grab have had their day in court. If the Republican Party fails in the next three years to apply the remedy the Republican Party will be deposed, Mckinley warned Graft. Greed and Grab of the inevitable. President Roosevelt has pointed the way. The masses of the people will do the rest.
 A revision of the tariff and recip- rocity are coming The sanction of the law to Greed, Graft and Grab to rob the masses is doomed to modification. This is what the trade winds are say ing Gut your cloth and trim your sails accordingly

rHEY ARE AaAIN sHAMEp.

The people of Atlanta, we are inform ed, are clamoring for the impeachment of Mayor Woodward, all because he made a disgraceful spectacle of himself at a meeting of the League of American Municipalities in Toledo, Ohio, recently. He was drunk, to put 1t plainly, and his language and behavior were so outra- geous that the delegates left the hall In a tumult. Now Atlanta Is about to fling up" on account of It.
 Is not this just a little bit inconsst- ent on the part of the people of Geor- gias capital city? Four years ago he was Mayor of that city and his conduct was so intolerably bad that his im- peaehment was talked of. We are told that he was frequently seen on the streets in a drunken condition, and sometimes in company of lewd women. The people were so outraged that he finally signed written pledge that he would resign at once if he offended again. As we now remember he held himself in check during the remainder of the term.
 And yet, in spite of his previous re- cord. and in spite of their knowledge of the man and his character they re-elect- ed him about year ago. Now they are again outraged by his conduct and

The Gulf Stream.

The Gulf Stream has been making some departures from its accustomed course this year. Captain Ruser or on his last voyage to New York he was detained more than half a day by the strength of the Gulf Stream, which he found running several hundred miles usual. Captain Ruser's statement re- calls to The New York Express the prophecy made by Sir John Tyndall twenty years ago. In one of his lee lures in this country the famous scien- fist said: q believe the ehild Is born that will see palms growing upon the southern shore of Long Island, owing to the change of climate that will be caused by the near approach of the Gulf Stream"

We do not remember the particulars of the election, but would wager button that the good citizens who. are now up in arms were conspicuous at the polls by their absence. They failed to take an active interest during the campaign or at the polls as good citizens so ire quently do, and now they are shamed in their own eyes and in the eyes of the country. because of the manner Of man they have to rule over them. Per- haps this may be a lesson to them that they will not so easily forget when they are again called on to elect a Mayor. Experience is a dear school, and two terms of 1t should be sufficient even for Atlanta.

Those who have been accustomed to regard the most picturesque and charming of Southern cities as the chosen haunt of yellow fever will be astonished to read that the total number of deaths from tss cause Ss dTrng dnH the last were only 29S deaths from yellow fever during the epidemic of 1897.

Yet there is no disposition to regard Brooklyn with terror Typhoid Is a periodical visitor in Philadelphia, and the mortality from diphtheria and scarlet fever all over the country makes an alarming showing. Never theless there are no symptoms of panic anywhere. Butff few cases of small pox appear fin the North or yellow fever lifts its head in the South, people seem to take leave of their senses. It1s easy to understand public indifference to the enormous number of deaths from Bright's disease and other maladies en- tailed by the hurry of modern life They slay scattered victims by pro- cesses which are usually slow, and their presence does not bring the outcry and why people who do not vince at the numerous fatalities attendant upon ty- phoid fever, diphtheria, scarlet fever or spinal meningitis and the widespread prevalence of these diseases, should flee in absolute panic from cholera, smallpox and yellow fever is a standing human puzzle"

MILL m WORK.

The announcement recently of an in vention by which car window can be easily raised at any time will be received with joy. and perhaps with some degree of distrust and doubt Such an innovation would be among the unexpected things of life. and. if true would be one of the most welcome of all discoveries. Any one who has ever attempted to raise a car window ana failed will wonder if 1t is possible that there will come a time when the 1oo will be both sure and easy. The invent or of this new device seems to have no doubt about it, and we hope his faith is we'll founded.
 Another problem that seems to De 100 hard for mans inventive powers Is to find an easy and sure way of closing window blinds from inside the room. We have read of many alleged inven- lions for that purpose, but if there Is one which is practical we have not been introduced to it. When we reflect on the many and wonderful inventions and discoveries of modern times 1t seems strange that such simple problems as making a car window that can be rais- ed, and a window blind that can be opened and closed from the inside should have been solved long ago, but they haven't, not to our knowledge.

Blanchard tells Governor Jelks that he cant do that but the latter seems to think that whether he can or not he is doing it--hence the friction. The whole trouble comes about through the lack of unifo rmity in quarantine regulations. If Alabama allowed people to come into the State from Atlanta-the latter hav- ing no inhibition against refugees from New orleans-there would be nothing to prevent a party infected with the disease from going to Birmingham or Montgomery and developing 1t; just as people were admitted to Chattanooga from Atlanta or Nashville without be- ing subjected to inspection, of the ap- pearance here of a case of fever.
 The. only solution of the question stant conflict of State authorities can be remedied is for the National Govern ment to take absolute control of all quarantine regulations in. times of epi- demic Under the present system panic and unreason are capable of the mos. inhuman and irrational regulations from the shotgun on the borders to the certificate required of people who have never be. n near the disease.

"one has only to look over the hotel registers of Montgomery to tell that conditions since the yellow fever scare" said a citizen yesterday. The hotels are fuller of travelling men and visi- tors to the city than they were this l time last year, believe The more I reflect on the single case of yellow fever that foated into Montgomery the more I am convinced the tales of a hegira of it's citizens people to leave, of course, and If they did leave it Is their business and no ones else. But just a word about those who left the city on account of the yellow fever announcement. The departure Of most of these people in my mind seems to have been case of catching the first train out. They got out of the State or at a safe distance from Montgomery and looked around, so to speak, and seeing that the whole city was nat going to leave the Capi- tai City, they were disappointed and | turned about themselves only to return to their homes.

Louisiana.s lax methods have cost Alabama and other Southern states thousands of dollars already, and it would seem to the duty of GoveFnor Blanchard to endeavor to pluck/ the mote from his own eye before trying to extract the alleged beam from the eye of any fellow executive.

Luck of the virtuou. Reporter.

l This is sad tale of the virtuous re- porter. whom Fate had decreed could question has enough knack to make his l employers believe he Is earning his money or maybe the employers are l charitable.
 The reporter had been in what Is technically known as a rut. He had no aggresiyeness, no creative powers and but little energy for several weeks. He also hadN fonjness for ball games and hot weather was never an incen- tive for him to work. During the hot days he had proclivity for lylng served in thin glasses. But yesterday all was changed. There was no ball game scheduled. the weather was cool and calculated to inject plethora of at peace with all the world and report ed at stan meeting with determina- ton to do things.
 The outlook was not roseate. The city editor rnumbled something about 1t being blanked light. But the reporter knew that with the aggressiveness that he felt he could dig up something. He went out on his run.
 At places, where an a day a ball game was scheduled would be reeking with news, he got the cold answer of noth- tions met with plain "nopes." He struggled on. If 1t had been a hot day, something would have surely popped it np wssnt h hdt Tsk Ssy eEh Ha passsi f former hang outs with virtuous hold. ing up of the head. Maybe that would change the luck. Nothing doing. He came back to the office, crestfallen but happy in the consciousness that no one had done any better.
 How'd you make out?' he asked a co-laborer. 70 pretty well. But I've got an attack of indigestion and couldn't work much. If I'd been feel. ing right, I'd have broken my record"
 And your" he asked another one. 70 swell; but there's no telling how much I missed. I got a late start and had to talk with an old friend from my town for an hour and q half Got bored to death and couldn't get right through the evening"
