That th?? Quays can defend It at all, shows that rhejr have undying faith In th.? stupidity or indifference of the peo p.-ntisylvanbu O.ivernor Plack, of New York, has be.-n P? tltlori'-.l to remove DI?tr!ct-Attorn?-y Oardliier. of New York city, on the ground that he Is guilty of g misdemeanor u discharging a veteran from hi? office. Attorney <?ardlnor ?ays he ha? vinl.-tied .,,. lavs and is not at all worried. He is, WB fear, too active s Democrat to suit, the Uoibiard Repubiicaaa. d jaara-miM?. ? The leaders ?bout Republican head quarters In Washington, are proclalmlni that a Democratic victory this fall woul? uval! nothing, n? there SOgM he no Ji.-ni" .rule lenlslallon with a Republican Pros i.Unt In power; also, that If the Demo crats elect a BBSjSOtty of the House finan dal Interests will be aroused and maki enormous contrloutlon? to the Republl car. cnmpslfn fun?l for 1900. There Is no doubt, that If the BfiM House la DemocrniU' Hanna will, In IP? I. vy msunseall on the tlnancial and kin .?re? Interests, and that In the elec Uon of that year Hannaism will he mor. disgracefully In evidence than It was lr the election of lftOC. All the same, for s??rne four decades ! ha? been the almost Invariable rule that the party thut captured Congress In th< off year won in the presidential electior next following, end there are main reasons for thinking that In this instan.? even the power of Hanna's barrel an?l the uaaerapaloasasas of hia method* would not l>e sutilcieut to cause the break lag Of the rule. It Is true that a victory for the Demo crats this fall would not enable them tc accomplish any Democratic legislation in the next Congress. But it would en able them to previmt a good deal of ir-.ipiit'ius Republican legislation that scorns to be on the cards. It would pul them In position to estop a repetition ol tie- saturnalia, of extravagance the Repub licans have always Indulged in win n, while In power, they have had a plethoric Trcasurj- at their command. It would put them In position to expose thoroughly tho designs of the Republican party ?nd its shortcoroln-*,? in connection with th? Spanish-American war. They could mak< a record In respect of these matters that WOUM rally to the Democracy the power of public .sentiment? a power that in 199 would, we bOllOVO, prove Inflntely more effective than Hannaism. So we say that?the proclamation and the boast of the Republican Isadora at the national capital to the contrary, not withstanding?the November elections hold as bearing upon 1900 great and un usual possibilities for th? Democrar-y. And, by the way, their boast-or, rath'-r threat?as Jnvolvnl in their r?f.. to assessing llnamdal interests in 1900, afford?, one of the strongest arguments Why thS Democrats should seek to gel control of the next HOUSS, and then open tlie way for a Democratic victory In the presidential campaign, two years hence That boast, or threat, Is brazen notice that the Republicans have no idea of enacting any legislation not agree.?M to the "financial interests." What financial interests are. alluded to and what those Interests are wedded to, we all knoatv. vf.li.ow-ff.veh. Yellow-fever is wid?spread In Mississippi and a porllon of Louisiana. It is said to have ernannt, d from New Orleans, where, it is alleged, the public was kept in igno rance of ils existence f?.r some weeks. Whether the facts Justify this charge or not we cannot say, but the policy of sup pressing the truth in such Instances is ..'I too common in cities when- contagious diseases prevail. Hut it ought not te be so, the truth ought to be told?that Is, if human life is to be valued higher than commercial advantage.? As yet the fever has not been very fatal, but its history, In Its epidemical stage, 1?, that it begins in a slow trot and ends In a gallop. And, unhappily, It Will he a month or more before fn.st car. Be relied upon to come and put a stop to Its ravages. Meanwhile, there is "a plentiful lack" of sffectlve quarantine The States seem not to have had an understanding with OBS another or with the Federal Government. HOBOS, the disease Is not checked in its early Stages, and nun and women living from one sec tion carry the fever with them to otli r s.-?-fions. It Is horrible to think that this lack of co-operat?i?n continuas year after yar, and with dreadful expenditure of life. QOVarnOt MeLUUrln, of Mississippi, left Jackson some time ago and went to Hran don; but he has been made to lenvfl Hi an d?n, because he. came from the worst inf.cted city in the stat?'. His present Whereabouts are not known. Wc pre sume the authorities are making him, like little Joey, keep a' moving on. It is a disagreeable prod les mant for any man to be in and a most extraordinary one for a Governor. i if course, travel and trade in Louisiana and Mississippi are greatly interfered with, and it may be doubted if conditions will improve until a kindly frost appears and drives the fever away. A SK.GESTIO*?. COOOt Zeppelin, a G.-iman nobleman, Is the latest claimant t" having .solved the problem of aerial navigation. And what Is more, men whose opinions, we are told, are worth som thing, have faith in him, and have formed a company with a c.ipl tui of over mMN to back him.

A few years, ago Richmond claim ,1, as iv. behove Justly, that its electric fin I was tho longest and best e.iulpped In eststenee, and it was but natural to think It would keep pace with the other places along this line.

We have electric-cars on Main and Broad streets from end to end. and the Church Hill and Clay-street electric line runs almost parallel with Broad street.
