THE MELLOW FEvER cAMpA1Gr

The Medical News has an interesting theory concerning the spread of yellow fever in the South. It says:
 The doctors and health officers were hampered from the start by the perhaps natural desire of the friends and rela- tives of the victims to conceal the presence of fever in their homes Also, the mercenary and commercial unwil- lingness of the city authorities to in terfere with their business prosperity by the installmen& of a strict qnaran- tine gave the time necessary to per- init the epidemic to become general and so firmly rooted that 1t has be- come impossible to drive it out If the first group of cases had been taken in time. had been isolated in mosquito netting and properly treated, the pa- tients, 1t Is true, might have died, but the disease itself would not have spread.
 The true inwardness of the present visitation will appear in due time, and the blame for it will be placed where 1t belongs. The charge has been open ly made that New Orleans and Louis- lana health authorities knew as early as the latter part of May of the exist ence of yellow fever in that city. yet public announcement was not made un- til the goth of July. If publicity had been given promptly who doubts that many places in Louisiana and Missis- sippi now suffering would have es- caped. @ -.. +. -s .

A Righteous JudEment.
-,l,,,nnken Free Presss-

Milwaukee Free Press.
 A Massachusetts shoemaker, Berry worked for a firm which had ain agree ment with a labor union not to retain any workman in its employ after notice that such workman was objectionable from being in arrears for dues or tiiso- bedience of union rules or from any other cause" Berry refused 10 join the union. and Donovan. on behalf of that organization, notified the firm and had him discharged. Then Berry sued Donovan for resulting damages and was given the verdict by a jury. The defendant appealed to the Supreme Court of the State, which affirmed the Judgment, saying that the attempt to force all laborers to combine in unions is against the policy of the law be- cause 1t aims at monopoly" That Is to say if all the laborers could be so combined they would absolutely con trol the industries of the country. By their majority votes such employers would be wholly at their mercy. This appears to be a sound position and is equally applicable to combinations of capital which provide for squeezing to death all enterprises outside of their circle. Free competition Is necessary to the healthy growth of society, and the courts will be more and more in- clined to take that fact into considera- tion as public opinion becomes more evident. Unions and trusts have their useful features no doubt, but for all that, outsiders must be accorded the right to compete with them without danger of malicious treatment tending to irreparable injury.

The Chicago Inter-ocean closes an editorial on Quantreli and his acts with this paragraph:
 This is simply atrocious. and if Gov ernor Hoch can by fair meaps secure desots ss sxseaU to the Scene of the massacre his action win be applauded. We have no doubt that thousands of ex-Con- federate soldiers. the men who did the real fighting for tho South and who won reputations as soldiers. will join in this sentiment. There was no ex- cuse and no defense of Quantrell or even Ss %Ssn snsr SSs 0f shes made for the bitterness of border war fare. There Is absolutely no excuse for the men who defend Quantrellism now.
 We take the liberty of differing very materially from The Inter Oceans con clustons. We do not believe that "thcusands of ex- Confederate soldiers" or any other number of them will en- dorse the proposed action of Governor Hoch. They have no excuse or defence for some of Quantreil's acts. especially the Lawrence affair. but well meaning and well informed people. ex-confed- crates or others. are not in favor of re- viving the bitter animosities of the war, and of now attempting to punish deeds committed more than forty years ago.
 If a beginning of this kind is made where will it end? The Chicago paper forgets the infamous acts of Milroy in Virginia, of McNeil in Missouri. of portions of sherman's troops In Geor- gia. Some of the deeds of these men were as savage and inhuman as were the acts of Quantreil, and they had none of the excuses that the latter had --if there can be any excuse for in- humanity in war.
 Let us admit that Quantrell and his men were outlaws, as The Inter-Ocean charges. and that they should have been punished for their deeds. but what follows7 Suppose Southern Govern ors should ask for the extradition of all Federal soldiers yet living who were guilty of acts of brutality during the war-would it not bring on a deplor- able state of affairs? We have no thought that Northern Governors
 
 would honor such acquisitions from the South, or that they ought to do 1t. but the mere demand would stir up hard feelings that should not be aroused. and bring about complications for no good.
 The fact that some of the Quantrell survivors at a recent reunion in Mis- souri boasted of what they had done, and that one of them expressed regret that they did not kill more people at Lawrence, is to be regretted, of course. It would be much more creditable to them if they would remain silent on some at least. of their acts. and let them be forgotten if possible, but the few who make a boast of their wrong doing do not any degree represent the sentiments of ex-Confederates nor will their acts or their words. but if Gov ernor Hoch persists in his proposed in- tention we may expect serious trouble as a result. Let sleeping dogs lie" is good motto for him to follow.

eoiored people cf the country would only see 1t they are under no obligations to the Republican Party. It was under the rule of that party that they were emancipated, it is true, but since slav- cry was abolished they have receTed precious little aid and comfort from their emancipators. They are eeddied and made much of about election time' but after the voting is over they are dropped until again needed
 As there Is 10 danger of negro domi- nation in Maryland, so there is no dam ger of social equality unless the white folks will 1t. and they will not do SO unless they are different from their Southern brethren. The paragraph we have quoted from the Republican State platform recently adopted indicates that the Republicans in that State are no longer in favor of pandering to the black vote or of mixing with the ne- groes on equal terms. If that party; all over the North would comey to a similar resolution and adhere to~it 1t would be better for all concerned.

 Ine gentleman did as requested but nos .ba without vigorous protest. He gave and told him he might know his busf- nsss. put he did not think 1t to the in : terest or the company to invite white people to give seats to negroes: The conductor was very polite about It, ex- blaming that he was only doing his uuty; that the law reserved the three under ordinary circumstances he was pound to give them the preference White people, he said. were not al- lowed in the portion reserved Tor ne- Eroes. as negroes are excluded from the seats for the whites.

 Now. the conductor was right and the passenger was wrong.

One more light picking over will be sufficient to get it all, and you may put 1t down as safe that all the crop will be In market or ready for bor is scarce and in many localities the fields are white and badly in need of picking The hard wind and heavy rain of Monday evening did incalcula- ble damage to the staple"
