Show A Hail Etfllor. New York, 13. Tribune's Washington: Wash-ington: Au editor of Vicksburg epents tho following sensible words reg'ttdiiig ill e failure ot congress to appropriate money to preveut the spread oT yellow fever, merely because some meriibern were so decided upon ths states' rights queetinn: We dou't W;t ut any mure uonseuo about states' rights, p&rlicularly wheu so-culled ttnle rights mean death and deeola lion to the people. In this particular instance I regard it as mot unblushing unblush-ing impertinence to ask the national government to appropriate mr-uey and iusist that state otliucrs &hall have charge of its disbursements. Southern repreeontatives whodeleated the national quarantine bill will be severely criticized for their slunidilv by tbo pretS and people. Republicans who supported the bill are better representatives for the people of the Mississippi valley, and are to be thanked lor their wise and patriotic c Corts in behalf of the stricken people. |
