The Frightfal Penalty of Dirty Streets

Recent statistics show that, in Phila-
delphia, on each of the 365 days Of the
year 1891, an average of nearly four
persons died from smallpox The bulle-
tins of the National Board of Health in
dicate the total number of deaths from
this disease to be 1919, or nearly three
times as many as occurred in the city OF
New York from the same cause during
the same period. Probably Philadel-
phians, as a general thing, are not aware
of this appalling state of things. 1t GER
tainly is a great discredt to the Quaker
City considering the fact that smallpox
is disease more readily controlled than
any other. OF the same flesh aud blood
are the people of Boston, but in that city
during 1881 the deaths from smallpox
numbered no more than eight. Figures dc
not lie; and these we have quoted, furn-
ish abundant food for thought-Norrts-

CARLISLE'S INDIAN SCHOOL.

most prominent men from as many diff

the visit the Indian men gave the school
most careful inspection, and their salts
faction is unbounded On their return
home they intend to try for greater
school privileges. Mr.. Thomas, speal-

will result from the state of perfect pres
ervation in which the corpse will be re-
tanned by the refrigcrating apparatus.

Republican BOurbOnism.

A year ago the Democrats passed II
bill to refund the national debt in three
per cent bonds. This bill was vetoed
by President Hayes under the advice OF
Secretary Sherman. Now Senator John
Sherman offers a bill to refund 5000,
100000 in three per cents. All the
financial changes during the past twelve
months have been of character to lessen
the chances of success for such "A scheme.
Money is not coming into the country
now as then; since then much of our sur
plus has been invested in extensive bus
iness enterprises, and there is not the
same disposition to accept low rate of
interest. A year ago the debt was bear
ing 5 and 6 per cent interest; now it
bears only 81 per cent interest; so there
is not the same excuse for disturbing the
business of the nation with refunding
operations, The bill of Senator Sher-
man makes plain that the veto of Presi-
dent Hayes was dictated by a narrow
and bigoted partisanship. His advisers
thought it was bad policy to accept any
financial measures from a Democrat.
They were willing to add to the burden
of taxation; willing to impair the credit
of the country, rather than accept any
measure which was originated and car
ried through as Democratic measure,
This is the true spirit of Bourbonism,-

4 The Mormons are pretty sharp after
all. During the agitation in Congress
over the proposition to suppress polyga-
my it is said they have had detectives
on the track of members of the House
and it is known where many of them
spend their nights, A resolution was
passed last Monday which makes man
who has more than one wife ineligible
as a delegate from any of the territories.
Delegate Cannon of Utah expected to
offer an amendment including adulterers
= in the disability list, but the resolution
was rushed through too quick for him.
The spicy debate that was expected to
take place on this resolution did not ap-
pear to be desired by the House and so
was cut off short.

In reply to letter of inquiry from a
number of employees of the Reading rail
road company, who have been named for
various offices at the coming municipal

Congressman Ford. of Missouri, has
introduced a bill to place the telegraph
business of the country under Govern
ment control and management. The
scheme as represented in Mr.. Ford's bill
D is a mixture of denagogism and centra
Itis by no means clear that
the Government could operate the tele-
graph any more economically than it can
: be operated by a private corporation. 1t
might carry dispatches for nothing and
tax the people to support the establish
ment; but chat would not cheaper the
business of sending telegraphic de-
spatches 1t would merely make wider
distribution of the cost. 1t is manifest
that the telegraph could not compete
with the postal service in cheapuess.

. IL The prevalence of small pox through
4 out the country has caused some strange
exhibitions of fright and seishness.
Only nine miles out of st, Louis negro
lay sick with the disease on a pile of
straw at the roadside. The next morn
ing he was discovered, and as the wealth
g. erhad been cold it is probable that he
o was badly frozen but nobody would go
TO his aid, and he was left to die all
4! alone, which he did after another night
q of exposure. An Indian woman was
4 similarly left to herself in a suburb of
Cincinnati After her death the shanty
in which her body remained was set on
fire by throwing blazing wads of straw
at it. Three children We're abandoned
by their parents at Selma, Tenn, and in
this case there was not the excuse of
real danger, for the father and mother
"a had been protected by recent yaccina-
,ition. In Wisconsin lumbermen's camp
9dhree men were left by their companions
o with food and water for only three days
After that they would bave starved to
death had not man, who heard of their
plight through the fugitives, gone to
their succor On the other hand, cases
of self sacrificing bravery are also nu-
merous.

+, The Pennsylvania post offices seem to
be creating some bad blood among the
stalwarts. The Wilkesbarre fight is still
going on, and now the Reading post
office becomes bone of contention.
Chester N. Farr, one of the applicants,
= depends on his past record, especially
that part of it made at Chicago where he
voted with the "Old Guard" for the
nomin alton of Grant. He ought to be
content with the medal which the 1906"
have had made for themselves, but it
seems he wants post office thrown in.
