I do not exactly know how that duty would be performed. For instance. the Senator from Ohio lives in a. town which is peaceful and healthy. and he is enjoying life there. Suppose the yellow fever should break out. say twenty or thirty miles away. and there was nobody else to declare quarantine between him and that stricken place from which the people were tlering to his town. he would be glad there was somebody clothed with the authority conferred by this bill to stop emigration from the plaguestricken town to his own. and in the absence of it I do not know how he would have any quarantine at all. If he knows. I should like to hear from him.
