the past year has been unusually unhealthy
and the death rate exceedingly large.
Typhoid fever. diphtheria and other dis
eases are prevalent of late, and principally
in new west, IN towns, aud rs 1t is well
known that impure air ard water are the
primary causes of these fatal diseases, It
shows that sufficient attention is not given
by the proper authorities 10 the adoption
Of measures for preserving the public
health 1t is of the first Importance in
towns, in order to preserve health, that all
filth be removed from them as speedily as
possible, and disposed of IN such man
ner as to cease to be injurious to mankind.
Dangerous and deadly diseases are certain
to break out and become malignant If the
emanatious from such filth exist in the air
around human habitations. The deadly
vapors which arise from vaults and cess
pools not only contaminate the air We
breathe, but pollute the water we drink,
and as the village has not even surface
drainage we are continually exposed to
great danger, the extent of which .ew peo-I
pie have any conception of Morris has
now arrived at point where the authori-
ties must act, there must be prompt steps
taken to provide II system of sewerage,
and also rigid sanitary regulations must he
enacted and enforced All cesspsols
should be closed as soon as spring opens,
and offal of all kinds, such as are usually
thrown out of back door, emptied iuto
barrels and removed by u city scavenger,
Surface drainage will need a share OF at
tention, and the proper steps to provide it
will have to be taken at once. 1t was Il
miracle that fevers and death did not
sweep our village last year. and those who
reaized the great danger to which we were
exposed, will insist in not being similarly
endangered another season. What is money
compared with health? We must provide
for our own.safety sooner or later by the
adoption of sanitary measures, and who
will postpone action when the lives of the
whole community are imperiled Sewers
must be constructed another season, sur
face drains must be built, and until such
time as these are completed some system
for the removal of sewage must be pro-
vidcd. Must is the word, and must means
money and money means bonds.

1t seems unlikely that the Cox impeach-
pent trial will come 10 close until some
body is murdered by being talked to death.
AS rule the argument of counsel are
long winded, flimsy. and not even medic
ere efforts, simply tedious and painfully
tiresome rebasll, of the volnmnous cyl
dence, which, fortunately for some of the
counsel, is so contradictory and senseless,
that in summing it ZIP, or rather attempt
ing 10 sum it up, much of tho disconnected
tumble, contradictory jangle, and mud.
like transparency of the argument, is
blamed to the evidence and not charged to
the party who attempts TO classify and dis
sect it. Ina case of this description any
counsel who could not sum up aud dry up
in five hours should be charged up with the
costs of the court for ever minute occu-
pied by him or them in excess of that
time. This farce of ia trial is a downright
swindle and imposition of the people OF
this state, in that several weeks more time
have been occupied than there was any
real necessity for.
