New orleans. Aug. 2l.--Full OF hope
the Federal and local authorities and
the public IN general entered to-day
upon the NTH week Of the campaign
against yellow fever. which f. now con-
sidered to be beyond tho state when
a serious epidemic Is possible. "In my
Judgment" said Rev. Dr. Beverly War

Federal Ia an address az a Baptist
church. there was a calamity impend-
ing over this city u few weeks ago.
Now ,he day Of impending calamity Is
passed"
Decrease In mortality. as shown b.
reports. Is unprecedented. and the sit
uation Is rapidly getting under control
DR. Warner said the passing OF the
calamity IL due In a large degree 10 the
splendid work of the marine hospital
service.
While the Federal authorities have
no hesitancy In saying the fever Is
controlled and checked. they are not

mosquito is perhaps two months, and
as here and there a stray infected mos

doubtless appear after the disease Is
entirely under control
There was great satisfaction over the
announcement that Alabama will place
no bars agaolnst shipment OF mer-
chandise provided the cars which car

pose of destroying mosquitoes.
While Alabama Is showing evidences
Of reason IN treatment Of the situation
Texas authorities continue TO put into

No better evidence Of the fact that
the visitation Of mosquito fever Is now
being controlled here. but that there
Is a chance for It's eradication. car
be found than In the daily reports OF
cases and deaths. For several days
now the number OF new cases has
shown a decline. while the number Of
deaths have been remarkably lower
considering the number Of cases re-
ported a week ago.
The death list indicates that pructi-
cally every case that develops Il nov
being reported and that means that the
modern method Of treatment to prevent
spread Is being applied. When that
condition is assured. the end Of vista
tion Is in sight and Il looks as II that
condition Is approaching.
Comparisons with the yisitations Of
1875 show that there Is no reason for
alarm la the present instance. They
prove that the disease Is being con-
trolled. They also Indicate that n II
had not been checked and controlled
at the time that II was. the visitation
this year would have been as serious
as that of 1875.
While tae hospital surgeons are not
indulging IN any comments, they are
much more hopeful than they were two
weeks ago. when they took hold OF the
situation.

unrlnnntal Reduction.

No undue faith and credit need DO
given to the yarn that the Hon. ALTON
BROOKS PARKER has been asked by the
managers Of the Democratic Clubs JEFF
ferson Birthday Dinner to scale the. time
OF his remarks from two hours 70 twenty
minutes.
Judge PABKER might well find two
hours all too short time for landing a
statesman and philosopher so multi
lateral and full of opinions as JEFFERSON.
On the other hand, the present state and
immediate prospects Of the Democratic
party could DO set forth thoroughly in
about twenty seconds.
Two hours is a long sentence ordinarily;
but when subscribers to that feast think
Of the modern Jeffersons that will be on
hand, they may reflect wisely that the
more Judge PARKER talks the less time
will there be for the other fellows.

distinctly, and perhaps solely, in those
countries into which there have been
introduced the blacks OF Africa. This
would limit the consideration largely to
the islands Of the Caribbean. On the
mainland Of South America and Central
America, while there are blacks in both,
another factor appears with greater
prominence than the African black. That
is the native, so-called Indian race. This,
and not the negro, is the key Of the race
question in very much the larger part
Of Latin America.

Ghettos within the Lithuanian pale, Tie
news Of RoJEsTvBNsKY'stri triumph would
come as a message Of despair. It Is not
the Mikado's subjects, but the Cars,
who have most cause TO wish that the
armada now ON it's fateful way TO Vladi-
vostok may Justify the forecast war
ranted by lie. earlier experience-that It
was built NTH eclipse and rugged with
curses dark. "''S
1t has, Of course, been recognized by
the naval experts who are watching
with keen anxiety the movements OF
the rival Admirals that 1t cannot have
been RoJEsTvENsKY's primary purpose
20 fight the Japanese; otherwise his OVID
force would not have been divided. Either
he has himself. perceived, or he has been
peremptorily instructed by the st. Peters
burg Admiralty that Russia's para
mount aim Is TO place the largest possible
feet in Vladivostok So far apart are
the entrances 70 that Incompatible haven
that II would be scarcely practicable
for TOGO TO blockade them both, II the
enemy's feet within the harbor were
about equal 10 his own in respect Of num-
bers and Of armament. For, operating
on interior lines, the besieged could
concentrate all OF their warships In a
sudden attack upon a moiety Of the be-
seging force. To profit by the tremen-
dous strategical advantage thus pos
sessed, all that is required would be the
existence on the Russian side Of naval
commander Of the class eIemplifed in
NELSON, and to which it is possible that
RoJEsTvEEsKY belongs.
Not only the Russians and the Japanese,
but the citizens or subjects Of every
Power commercially concerned In the
Far East-nay, we might add, the whole
white race-may well follow with lively
solicitude the unfolding Of the naval
campaign now begun in the South China
Sea. Should TOGO have Ill luck-and sail
ors are especially exposed to the tickle
ness Of fortune-and should his country
thereby lose the maritime preponderance
which she has turned to memorable &C
count, OYAMA's army would be forced to
fall back on the seacoast Of Manchuria
and Corea, and, cut of from its natural
base OF supplies, il would ultimately
be driven back to its home in the island
empire. Such was the disheartening
result Of the tremendous effort to con-
quer Corea made by the Japanese under
IYEYAsHU almost exactly three CEN
turtles ago; and such, il TOGO be beaten
or eluded, may also be the outcome OF
Japan's present magnificent endeavor to
become a Continental Power.

Hawbuck Adam Smiths.

In their memorial 10 Governor HIGGINS
asking him to veto the Mortgage Tax
bill, the allied real estate interests repeat
the arguments already made so often
and vainly, that the bill would increase
the rate Of interest and that the cost
would be borne by the borrower.
The wise and prudent economists at
Albany know better than that. They
forbid the borrower to pay the cost
They have found a way to arrest the
incidence Of taxation and to keep the
interest rate from rising.
Besides, suppose the dark forecastings
Of the enemies Of the Mortgage Tax bill
are realized. Grant that political econ
omy behaves in its own perverted and
diabolio way; the interest goes up; the
borrower pays.
Apparently the hawbuck Adam Smiths
believe that nobody in the State borrows
money on bond and mortgage except
accused coolney citizens, who vote the
Democratic ticket anyway. Let them
vote il and be hanged to theml
Nothing can pluck from those master
minds up the river the notion that legis-
lation which injuries the city Of New York
in particular is in some miraculous way
beneficial TO the rest Of the State.
