THE HOUniD 1.RPROMV.
The New Orleans Picayune makes a
rather startling statement: A bill
has been introduced Into Congress
providing for a national leprosy hoS'
pltal, and it Is said that the national
authorities view with great alarm the
gradual but sure spread of tills loath
some and deadly disease throughout
the United States. The Picayune says
there Is scarcely a town of any size in
the country that has not one or more
cases of the disease, usually neglected
or hidden away, and there Is no State
that has taken any steps to care for or
Isolate the victims.
It has been much disputed whether
leprosy Is contagious, but It certainly
spreads where not Isolated. It Is mak
ing very rapid progress in Havana,
where lepers commonly appear on the
streets and handle the same filthy cur
rency that forms the circulating me
dlum among their healthy fellow citi-
zens. Serious concern Is felt by the
government respecting the prevalence
and spread of leprosy in neighboring
countries as reported recently by
United States consuls in response to a
request for Information issued by Sec
retary Blaine. These reports are as
yet withheld from publication for rea<
sons of international policy.

among them all it Is plain that Mr.
Blaine has not succeeded In fastening
a personal quarrel upon the cool and
oircumspeot ocoupant of the White
House. Tho most authentic explana
tion of Mr. Blaine’s action given by
his friends Is that certain members of
Harrison's oablnet were making
mouths at him, and that he could not
bear it any longer. The worst offend
ers, it appears, were Secretary Foster
and Secretary Elkins. But the Phila

Blaine might have endured Klkins a

was through his own influence that
this ungrateful friend and admirer

If it Is not the Intention of the News
to misrepresent Capt. Hobbs, why
does It oontlnue to hunt up one mean

There is no more foundation for the
second insinuation which the News
now makes with reference to Capt.
Hobbs in connection with Capt.
Rouse's nomination to the Senate or
Mr. Putney’s candidacy than there
was for the flrst.
The Hkrald has tried to meet the
Stevens organs, in their attack upon
Capt. Hobbs in bis capacity as Chair
man of the district Democratic Kxecu
tive Committee in a spirit of fairness,
but it is discouraging to correct one
misrepresentation after another only
to have another brought in to take its
place, when it is known that such per
sistent misrepresentation is prompted
not by any jealousy for tho purity and
success of the Democratic party, but
is intended to cripple, In the interest
of the candidate of a secret organlza*
tion, so true and tried a Democrat as
Capt. Hobbs.
When men like Capt. Hobbs forsake
the Democratic party or prove recreant
to Its best interests, it will not have
much showing in the hands of such as
are now barking at his heels through
out the Second Congressional district.

best oltizens who wstoh with keen in

mbnths ago a oltizens Alliance was

is nothing but the much-talked of

The News does not know what rela
tion, if any, “Gld’s Band” bean to the

that the latter organization has not
amounted to anything here, as there
has not been a meeting of the order
since its charter was applied for sev
