It Is Interesting to note how the cabi net off!cere who served with Mr. Cleveland ore divided with reaper! lo Ihe present political contest. Mr. olney, Mr Smith. Mr. Herbert and Mr Harmon remain In the Democratic camp: Mr. Carlisle and Mr. Lamunt are on the fence: Mr. Mor ton. Mr. Fairchild and Mr. Dickinson are giving aid and romfari to Ihe enemy of •he Democracy, and Mr. Whitney seems lo have dropped out of sight politically. The ire trust charges against Mayor Van Wyrk of New York.

It la assures!, however, that the Mayor will not be removed from office b Gov.

A ■ lay or two ago we published the state mnt that the Insurance rates here sre one sixteenth of a rent a pound higher than In New Orleans, notwithstanding •ho greater risk from New Orleans. It I seems that the discrimination Is even greater than we stwted It Is alleged to bo .ill the way from one sixteenth to on* eighth of a cent a pound cgalnst this port. It can be seen readily that such a dis crimination is n very great islvantoga to New Orleans. CQfion buyers there can afford to give a higher price for cotton. They can. In fact, draw cotton from ter ritory that legitimately belong- to Bavan n*h on account of this difference in in surance on ocean cotton freight*. And from whit we can learn from ship per* and others there | no excuse what ever for this discrimination The reason* adv inerd by insurance men for It can be easily shown to l*e unsound on* s. Ir fact, w* publish*d day or two ago an Inter* \i*-w with one of the l(ding ship broker** satisfactorily anwering the reasons put forth by an Insurance mm. I* It the purpose of the cotton men to rontlnuo to suhmF to the die riminatkw) without an * ffort to have the wrong against this port corrected? If they feel no particular interest in the matter them aelvts have they no Interest In their city? If we irr to build up the commerce of this port we must have every advantage which legitimately belongs to us. No advantage that l* withheld from us will be given to us voluntarily. If we get it we must fight tar It. W* cannot understand why our cotton merchants are so Indifferent about this mailer. Here Is a chance to wive more than thirty cents on every bob* of cotton and not a otton m m sm disposed to take a step to benefit the port to that extent Ami ih r.iilrnwds. do they not Intend to do anything in the matter? They, too, are deeply interested. The less the • barges are for moving cotton from this port the wider the territory will be from which they will be able to draw cotton. We talked t*out deep water until we got It. and now we are demanding deeper water for the purpose of still further lessening ocean freight rat*-. But here la n banco for decrttwlng the cost of handling for*dgn-bound cotton without the expenditure of a dollar, find not a single cotton merchant and not one of the nulroud* hrlngtng cotton here seems dis posed to utilise It. What has become of the public s|krlt of our business men? The tune w.w* when the opportunity to benefit the cotton trade of the port to the exiem of thirty cents a bale would have aroused every man Interested in the commercial welfare of the city to activity. Now nothing but Indifference Is apparent. If our commerce is to grow. If wc are to build up a great commercial city here we • iroot afford to \oluntorlly abandon any assistance which we mU'ht have by de manding it. We have rival* that are ac tive, ilrHms and vigilant. If wc rest on our oar we shall soon find ourselee* fall ing to th* - nsr That N*w Or lean* rites of Insurance on o* *-n cotton freights should b** less than 1 hose of Havannah Is preposterous. To act th** matter right, to have the Insurance rates of H tvann n placed below those of N*w Orleans. It Is only necessary that our cotton merchant# and railroads should make a demand upon the insurance com panies for simple Justice. Will they do this or will they submit without a pro test io the din* rim ins lion under which they are now laboring? TUB IMHIHI %TMI\ OF HAVANA. The outbreak of yellow fever in a num tier of placte In Cuba thin yewr hai called out a great many etiggertlone n. to w-na: ought to he done io damp out the dlaeaie In that Inland.

The point he maker |e that the Cuban! when they get hold of the government of Cuba, will not do anything toward* ridding Havana of the fever, becaunr. being immune, they cannot be made to reallxe the tmportanee of vnnllary work According to Dr. Doty, the purification of Havana ahould be undertaken by the government of the United St alee while it hut authority to do ao. for the benefit of rial lon* which have, and will continue to have, trade relatione with the liland. The first thing hot ought to be vetoed ti whether the purification of Havait ■ would rid the Island of the disease. Doe* tho fever originate only In that city- From what (Jen. Lee said recently. In in Interview, the fever made it* appearance In several places this year (hat had no npparent connection with Havana. In deed. It seemed to upset all theories and yellow fever experts respecting tho origin of the disease If we are rightly Informed, some will Inform'd Cohan and army physicians have been convinced from their observations during the last few mom he, that the disease is likely to make Its appearance In any part of the Island nny year under certain con ditions of the weather. Still. Dr. Doty's suggestion Is a good one. A complete system of sewers and house drainage In Havana would undoubt edly be of vast henellt lo Dial city, even If It did not mike yellow fever there intposeiblr The probabilities are that l>eforc the disease disappears from Cuba the whole laland will have to hi- prelty thoroughly drained, and brought uniler cultivation Neiv York, Boston and Phil adelphia used to have their epidemics of yellow fever liefore they had good sys tems of drainage ami when the country surrounding thm was swampy and un cultivated Mr Cleveland has heard nothing about a purpose to offer him the presidency of Washington and Us t’nlversity. and doubt* that there is any atleh purfioae on the part of Ihe governing Iwdy of the Institution.

The speech winch Air Root, Secretaty of War, made al Canton s few days ago Is receiving a great deal of attention, par ticularly from Mr. Bryan, for two rea sons First, because It Is understood that he spoke for the President, the Pres ident having approved his epee -ti before it was delivered, anil, second, because of his assertion thal “government does not depend u|*n the consent of the governed" We refer to this eiieech again because M Is evident that there are In the South ii good many men who ngree with Mr Root.
