STRIKE AT THE ROOTS.

Discussing the duties OF the future with
reference to the yellow fever, st. Loul
TT. writer says that Rio and Havana are
the danger points OF the world. From
Rio the United States is only slightly en-
dangered, but Havana is constant menac,
to us, and is the headquarters of the inva
der for this part of the world. 1t is raging
there now, ninety-nine deaths having oc-
CURED during last week and one hundred
and eighteen during the previous one. 1t
is generally believed that the fever came
from Havana to the Mississippi valley last
year and some Of its germs having survived
the winter have revived the plague in
Memphis. II is argued therefore that the
surest way to protect this country would be
to suppress the fever in its breeding place,
Havana. If Spain is unwilling to enter
tain proposition for an international in
quiry into the subject, our commerce should
be so regulated with countries known to be
infected that no ships should pass between
their ports and ours in warm weather. 1t
will doubtless occur that all the carrying
trade between our cities and the few ports
from which we get the fever will be re-
stricted absolutely to the winter months. A
writer who prepared pamphlet on the
subject after the visitation of last summer
estimates the direct and indirect money loss
to the country at $9Oo,OOO,O00. OF course
this can be only estimated, and vaguely.
But it must be clear that the subject is one
Of national concern, and that the country
cannot afford to have such visitauons. We
must stamp out the plague in Memphis,
absolutely prevent its importation in the
future. To effect these results the national
government must take the matter in hand.

The New York Times makes mention of
two very remarkable discoveries. One is
that a man to whom the government owed
$500 has taken his pay in silver dollars.
The other is that q Federal office-holder
has filed petition asking reduction of
his salary. These discoveries, however, do
not appear so remarkable when it is known
that the creditor is q colored man, and was
afraid that if he took greenbacks they
might be destroyed by fire. The office
holder is an uncultivated Indian who is the
government blacksmith at the Sac and Fox
Indian agency. He has grown to be COM
fortably well off on a salary of 500 per
annum; but it is hardly time, the New
Orleans Times thinks, to assume that be-
cause of the occurrences, other creditors
will demand silver dollars, or that other
Federal office-holders will demand re-
duction of their salaries. For that era OF
honesty and fair dealing We must wait until
the Democrats come in.

The New York Herald says there IS an
unsettled portion Of Northern Texas that
can be made to yield all the additional
wheat the world may need. The Spring
field Journal would not advise great rush
of immigration to Northern Texas for the
purpose of wheat raising, or any other form
of agriculture. 1t will never succeed except
by an extensive system of irrigation. 1t is
adopted to safeguarding, and that alone.
The man who goes there for farming pur-
poses will be liable to retreat at the end of
a year or two in an impoverished and de-
moralized condition.

THE personal estate of Baron Lionel de

foundation for this comfortable little for

ington's defeat without abiding to the
turning of the tide by the Prussian arrival,

To FILL the position of health officer or
take any conspicuous part in the enforce.
ment of measures of precautionary nature
is to subject ones self to most narrow
and critical watching. The st. LOUIS Re-
publican well says that It may be expected
thatsuch officer will incur both criticism
and abuse. They either do too little or
they do too much. They are negligent of
proper precautions Or If they take I'm
due precautions; they tread on some
body's toes every step they take, and, as
matter of course, there follows u howl o.
indignation. But il ought to be remem
bered that the functions Of Il board o
health are necessarily Of somewhat despo,
ic character. II must have mind of il
own and net independently of fear Or favor
itism, else II becomes worse than uscles
