Emperor of Germany if fate had put him In the Kaiser's shoes. As Presi- dent of the United States he wields a power from day 10 day which really equals. if it does not exceed. that of the German Emperor. but he wields 1t as a magistrate and not as a monarch. and autocratic methods are not appropriate or welcome"
 Autocratic methods are not welcome, we agree with The Mail, but that paper evidently has grave fears that such methods will prevail at Washington. It mourns the death of Hay. who acted as the balance-wheel of the adninis- tration. and says that the country wants a harmonious Cabinet, but not a Cabinet which. like the violin of Pa ganini. Is played upon a single string Beyond a doubt our Republican breth- ren sniff the danger that lies in hav- ing a one-man Government.

NOT SO BAD.


More than one hundred cases Of
yellow fever are being daily addec
to the list in New Orleans.
The eminent DIR. Guiteras il
quoted as saying that the fever
may spread in the Inflated city al
it did in 1878. If his surmise'
should be verified and the death
rate continue as it is, the outlook
is not so bad. 1t could be worse
and has been worse-much worse.
Not more than II per cent. of the
cases are fatal. This is q very
light mortality and much less than
from diseases that are esteemed
less fatal and from which people
do not flee in terror.
In Brooklyn, at the present time,
typhoid fever is raging, and the
other day out of one thousand
cases reported there were three
hundred deaths, or 80 per cent.
The waters are so polluted by
the discharge of sewage that bath
ing has been prohibited at Grave
send Bay, Fort Hamilton and on
to Timer Park, including Bath
Beach and Bensonhurst. New Or
leans is not the only delinquent in
the matter of sanitation.
Sunstroke and overheating can
not be considered endemic or cpl
demic, and yet there were more
deaths from these causes in one
day in New York than. there has
been in the entire State Of Louisi-
ana id one day from yellow fever.
For the week just ended the
health department reports seventy
two deaths from typhoid fever in
Greater New York, forty. four of
which were in Brooklyn, as COM
pared with fifty deaths in July a
year ago, twenty-five of which
were In Brooklyn.
When person dies from yellow
fever he is very dead and remains
so a long time; but death from ty
phoid or sunstroke is quite as
complete and quite as permanent.
People are dying from yellow
fever in New Orleans, but it does
not appear that they are enjoying
perpetual life in the Northern
summer resorts. -News-Scimitar.

DICKSON, TENNESSEE.

Carmack to settle. 1t belongs to
the people of Tennessee. In his
first interview, while ] was far
away in the West on the lecture
platform, Senator Carmack de-
clared, with flourish of trumpets,
that he would not have an Office
not given to him by the people,
but now when the regular Demo
cratic Executive Committee of
Benton County call a primary to
give the people Of that county the
opportunity to express the prefer
ence, the Senator condemns their
action and advises his friends to
ignore the primary of Benton
County. If the Senator can ig-
more the action of this good old
Democratic county, could he not
upon the same principal ignore
any action which might be taken
to bring about general primary
Does anybody believe that the
Senator would ignore a primary
in Benton County or any other
county if he thought the people
were for him9 am glad to OBJ
serve that the Senator and his
friends seem to construe every
movement to place the Senatorial
question in the hands of the peo-
pile for settlement as a movement
in my favor. The action of Ben
ton Codnty is IN every way regu-
lar and thoroughly Democratic,
for it is the sounding of the key
note of the glorious doctrine that
all power is inherent in the peo-
pie.

FINDS POISON IN BODY.

Freeborn Farmers Remains Contain
Druos Enough to Kill Six.
Albert Lea, Mimi, Jan. l. - Prof.
H. q. Carel of the state university
created sensation here yesterday at
an inquest over the body of Annurd j..
Boen, a farmer who lived about nine,
miles from this city, when he declared
he had found sufficient poison in the
remains to kill half dozen men. He
said much of the poison had been de-
stroyed by the alkaline in the body's-
decomposition. Boen died on Dec. IL.
1908, and the analysis was made S23
days after death. Until few days
before Boen's death he and his wife
were the only occupants Of their farm
home. Then a man came to live with
them, and this man since Boon died
has resided with the widow. Boon
before he succumbed to his last i'll
ness, declared he was poisoned. The
inquest has not yet been finished. Ar
rests are expected.
