Surgeon General Wyman makes the
cheerful announcement that there is not a
case of yellow fever in this COMntry at
present, so far as the .Marine Hospital ser
vice is advised. The disease has been en
tirely stamped out at McHenry, Miss.
We Don't Want Philippines.
Now that Santiago has been disposed of
and affairs in Cuba are assuming good
shape, the Philippines are destined to be
the center of interest to our people and to
.Europe as will. Within the next week or
ko the second expedition will arrive at .Ma
lala. There will then be tome 11,000
American troops at Cavite, ready to take
Manila if its governor do. s not yield to the
demand foi a surrender.
It will be an easy matter to take the
city, as our fleet van bombard the defences
without difficulty, and the Americans,
aided by Agtrinaldo, will make short work
of Spanish resistance on land.
.But the question is, what will we do wit'h
the I‘hilippinese if we get possession of
them. There is ha rd I y any doubt of the
fact that the nations of Europe will dis
pute our right of conquest, and there is no
telling what may grow out of the affair.
It is encouraging, therefore, to find that
President McKinley is not among those
who believe we should hold the Philip
pines, for his attitude practically moans
that we will yield without provoking any
trouble; or, rather, that we will volunta
rily surrender the Philippines, for the very
good reason that we hav» no use for them.
We may rightfully undertake to keep the
islands of the hands of the European land
grabbers. but this is quite as far as we
should go in the premises.
There is nothing like being an immune;
soon Colonel Ray’s boys will be sent to
Santiago, and there they will have nothing
to do but lie in the shade and defy yellow
fever.
After the Spaniards, Then the Insurgents.
The \lbany Herald has a sensible edi
torial on future developments in Cuba, in
the course of which it says those who are
congratulating themselves and the country
upon the present prospect of an early ter
mination of the war with Spain are hug
ging a delusion. The war may soon be
over so far as the armed forces of the
Spanish government are concerned, but af
ter the Spaniards are driven out of Quba,
tin Phillippines and Porto Rico, then we
■will have to deal with the insurgents. And
we will be fortunate indeed if we don’t
have the same trouble with them that the
Spaniards have had. Indeed, it may be
worse, for the Cubans have an idea that
this war is being fought for their especial
Vuiilit. and as soon -as the Spaniards ar°
driven from the Island the insurgents,
most of whom are mongrels, will expect to
take charge. With the rams and equip
ments that have been given them by our
government they will be a bad set to deal
with. too.
In the Philippines Aguinaldo. the insur
gent leader, has already proclaimed him
self president of the Philippine republic,
and it is very evident that he proposes to
have somtehing to <ay about the final dis
position of the islands.
The insurgents both in Cuba and the
Philippines are going to give us trouble,
and it will be some time after the
ing that has to be done with Spain is
over with before we see the end of the
war.
Sampson ordered Shafter not to com
plete any terms of surrender without con
sulting him. Sampson is exigent and am
bitious to justify the wisdom of his poli
tical appointment, thinks an exchange.
A Continental Alliance.
1 he London correspondent of the Paris
Matin has intelligence of the formation of
a continental bond or alliance whose ob
ject will be to prevent the United States
becoming the successor of Spain as a
power in Asiatic waters. The moral argu
ment advanced is that this country, having
officially promulgated the Monroe- doctrine
of the non-extension of European influ
ence in the western continent, is estopped
from extending its influence in the eastern
continent. It is considered a strong argu
ment, and will be backed, it is said, by the
military and naval power of Europe. The
friendly relations existing between Great
Britain and the United State’s are taken
into consideration by the great powers,
but they believe that Great Britain has
such interest in the , ast as will lead her
to acquiesce in the justice of the program
of the continental powers. Germany, of
course, is at the bottom of the movement.
An exchange thinks that if Emperor Bill
isn t more circumspect, he, too, will be
saying ’leh sollte mehr Verst and gehabt
babea.”
Coroorat’ons Must Pay.
Assistant Attorney General Boyd has
rendered a decision of far reaching impor
tance with reference to the war stamp tax.
He has ruled that railroad companies and
other common carriers must pay the tax
on bills of lading and receipts for goods ■’
to be shipped and that thin tax cannot be j
properly made to fall upon the shipper j
general public.
In his conclusions the assistant attorney :
general says that the purpose of the law |
is plain. It was to tax the carrier and not I
the shipper, and the provisions of the law, •
he says, undoubtedly fixed upon the ex- |
press companies and other carriers the duty '
of providing, affixing and cancelling rhe
stamps without extra charge to the public.
The treasury department has made a
ruling by which business mm avoid having
to pay the stamp tax on checks simply by
changing the form to receipt. Os course
this cannot apply to a check issude to a
third party, which would be negotiable
paper. The substance of the decision is
that if a depositor wishes to draw money
out of a bank he can do so by signing a
receipt for each payment, instead of writ
ing a check, which would have to b
stamped. The success of rhe practical
operation of this plan would depend, of
course, upon the willingness of the banks
to conform to it, says the Birmingham
News. However, the stamp tax on cheeks
is not large and every citizen should re
gard it as his patriotic duty to pay it and
thus contribute that much to the general
cause.
According to the New York Tribune, the
heroic Hobson has not passed by all the
dangers that beset him. Here is a new
one, pointed out by the Tribune: ‘ Fame
descends on Hobson in cloudbursts and
downpouring deluges more perilous to a
youthful hero than the sunk ido cr
t'-< f'.ing shill. He will need the forti
tude of the Roman and the stability of
Roman cement to live through it ail with
out injury. On such a raging flood of
glory. MiLtiades, with ail his trophies,
would bob trn and- down like the autumn
leaf. The best for the heroic Hobson is
that he'will survive unscarrtd the violence
of his praises.”
The following from the Knoxville,
(Tenn.,) Sentinel will interest Macon peo
ple: “Mr. J. B. Pound and family left
yesterday tor Chattanooga, which city vv-li
be their future home. (Mr. Pound sold his
Interest in the Tribune at a profit, but has
in the Chattanooga News a finq piece of
newspaper property to which he will give
his attention. Since he came here three
years ago he has been identified prominent
ly with Knoxville’s push, and it is with
sincere regret that we give him up. Mr.
Pound and his estimable wife will be
missed in many ways.”
The fact that yellow' fever has appeared
in seme of the camps on the sea coast in
front of Santiago does not mean that the
plague is to spread unchecked among our
troops, thinks an exchange. The resources
of 'modern sanitary scionce are at our
command, and the success which has at
tended reci nt effortis to stamp out this dis
ease wherever it has appeared in the
United States renders it certain that its
spread will be chicked speedily and com
pletely.
The afternoon press so fully harvests the
news of the day, that the gleanings left
for the morning papers, -wit'h their news
of yesterday, are not w'orth picking up.
Tlie Louisville Dispatch thinks that if
the country should insist upon a war hero

B eare t h e *1 he Kind You Have Always Bought
SUPtRSTIHONS OF SAILORS.
Have Faith in Odd Numbers—Trips Begun
on Friday Considered Hoodooed.
St. Peter! St. Peter! Pray give us a charm,
Against the bad eye that would do us a
harm.
Sailors are the most superstitious class
of men in the world.
They cling to their superstitions with
a tendency worthy of a better cause. Pos
sibly it is more from custom rather than
from an actual belief in their efficacy. The
man at the wheel will tell you that he can
not slti i- straight if there is a cross-eyed
passenger on board.
Spanish sailors on certain days of the
week or month lay aloft at sunset and
beat the siheaves and pins out of the gear,
and the noise they make is a horrid difi.
This is said .to have originated in an order
given which resulted in disaster. A cer
tain Spanish squadron that had been an
chored some time was surprised by the
enemy, and could not make sail and es
cape, as all tlie blocks were rusted and
useless.
The Spanish sailor has no prejudice
against starting out an a voyage on Fri
day, that being the day on wilnich Colum
bus started on his voyage of discovery.
English and American sailors will not sail
on that day if they can help it. They
would consider the whole trip hoodooed by
such a beginning.
A sneeze at sea would hoodoo the ship
unless it happened to turn to the right,
when it brings good luck. Sailors 'have
faith in odd numbers, and naval gunners
carry out this belief in the number of
times they fire off a salute.
Whistling for wind is another favorite
superstition of the man before the mast.
This is a trick when ships are becalmed,
as “Whistles rash bid tempests roar,” A
“capful of wind” or a “bagful” usually
defines the quantity.
The phantom ship so often seen by navi
gators is not purely the apparition of ro
mance. but a mirage, something almost as
wonderful, but not of the supernatural
order.
The horse’s'hoe is still a popular contri
bution by sailors to the fetish of good luck.
A distinguished precedent is given for this.
Lord Nelson -believed in the luck of the
horseshoe, and had one nailed to the mast
of his ship Victory.
A peculiar superstition is that if women
are taken on board a voyaging ship some
disaster will follow. This may be the rea
son why no government ship is allowed to
carry women passengers. Sailors, too,
prefer a ship that has a masculine name
or is called after some man. or is geo
graphical.

WHAT POWER
HAVE STATE COURTS
To Act in Bankruptcy Cases,
Pending the Going Into
Effect of New Law?
Can bankruptcy proceedings be insti
tuted in the ytate courts pending the time
the new national bankruptcy law goes into
effect?
This is a question which has arisen in
other cities through a faulty construction
trf the bill approved on July 1, known as
“an act to establish .a uniform system of
bankruptcy throughout the United States.”
The aci provides in its conclusion that
it should go into full force and effect upon
its passage w'ith the 'additional provisions
though that no petition for voluntary
bankruptcy shall be filed witihin one month
after its passage, and no petition for in
volntary bankruptcy within four months.
“Proceedings commenced under the state
insolvency laws before the passage of this
act,” it continues, "shall not be affected
by it.”
No provision, it will be seen, is made for
the ad interim period, and it does not ap
pear whether petitions may be filed in the
state courts in that 'time or not. This
was the ground on which a motion has
been made in a Baltimore court to quash
procedings in insolvency filed a few days
ago against a national bank in that city.
It was held that the national act supersed
ed all state insolvency proceedings except
those filed before July 1, ami that the state
court consequently had no jurisdiction.
Discussing the mater yesterday, an at
torney stated that it was clearly the pro
vince of the courts to find a remedy for
every grievance when there is none pro
vided, and that in his opinion insolvency
proceedings could be instituted in a state
court until 'the time -that the new law act
ualy goes into effect. Such proceedings
might then be transfered to the federal
court. He held that it was preposterous
to suppose that when the federal law left
an ad interim period in this way the state
courts were robbed of their jurisdiction to
the extent that proceedings of this charac
ter could not be begun in them. While
the Maryland count has not yet ruled in
the matter, he was not undecided in the j
opinion that a Georgia court would take
hold of such proceedings and promptly
quash such an effort to throw the case out
of court.
The decision of the Baltimore judge will
be awaited with some interest by lawyers.

Erysipelas
Two Diseases That Cause Their
Victims to Be Shunned by
Their Feliow-Man.
Ml’ftlNG FIELD, Mo.
Gentlkmf.n : I commenced taking P.
P. P., Lippman's Great Remedy, last
Fall, for Erysipelas. My face was com
pletely covered with the disease ; 1 took
a short course of P. P. I’.. ami it soon
disappeared. This Spring 1 became
mir.-h debilitated and again took an
other course, and I'am now in good
condition. I consider I’. P. P. one of
the best blood preparations on the
market, and for those who need a gen
eral tonic to build up the system and
Improve the appetite I consider that it
has no equal. Will say, anyone who
cares to try I s . P. P. w ill not be disap
pointed in its results, and I, therefore,
cheerfully recommend it.

Erysipelas and Scrofula cured by P.
P. P., Lippman’s Great Remedy, surely
and without fail,
Springfield, Mo.
Gentlemen: Last June 1 had a
scrofulous sore which broke out on my
ankle. It grew rapidly, and soon ex
tended from my ankle to my knee. I
got one bottle of your P. P. P..Lipp
man’s Great Remedy, and was agree
ably surprised at the result. The entire
sore healed at once. I think 1 have
taken almost every medicine recom
mended for scrofula and catarrh, and
your P. P. P. is the best 1 have ever
tried. It cannot be recommended too
highly for blood poison, etc.
Yours very truly,
W. P. HUNTER.
