The Necesgitz Of sanitarz Reform

The Necessity of Sanitary Reform.
From an article on "The Principles and
Practice of House Drainage" by George E.
WarDg, Jr., in the November Century, we
quote the following: Houses that are perfect
even iD the general arrangement and construc-
tion of their sanitary works, are extremely
rare. Those which, having begun perfect,
continue 60 under daily occupation, are still
more rsre. So true is this that it is sometimes
asked if it is, after all, worth while to encour
ter the additional expense and the constant at
tention that perfection demands; whether, in
deed, the world has not got on so well in spite
OF grave sanitary defects that is futile to hope
for an improvement corresponding with the
cost IN money and time. The most simple and
efficient answer to this is that the world has
not got ON well at all, and ia not getting on
we'll; that among large classes OF the popula
ton one-haif of all the children born die be-
fore they attain the age of five years; that
those who COIN to maturity rarely escape the
suH ring, loss OF time, and Incidental expense
OF unnecessary sickness; that the average age
oI all mankind at death is not one-haf of
what it would be were w Q living under perfect
sanitarF conditions; that one of the chief items
OF cost IN carrying the world, 10 say
nothing OF the cost of barying those who die,
IS that of supporting and attending the sick
aud helpless; that another great item ia the
cost of rtisiUg children to or toward the useful
age, md then having them die before they be
gin TO make return on the investment; that
the great object OF well-regulated life Is to Sc
cure happiness for ones self and ones depend
ents, an aim which is crushed to the earth with
every death of wife or child or friend There
is Sentimental view, no less important, which
need not bs reciteG, but which is Sufficiently
suggested to the minds of all who have had to
/ do with the sanitary regulation OF houses by
= thEaf wrikA
called inio requistion only when the Offices Of
the undertaken have been performed No
cost and no care would be too great to prevent
the constantly recurring domestic calamites
which. have had their origin, and which
have found their development, In material
conditions that little original outlay and a
constant and watchful care would have pre-
vented.

At Fort Wayne in Indiana on Monday Mr.
Blaine made one of the longest speeches of
his tour and set forth fresh phase of the
contest. The elections in Ohio aud West
Virginia, had, be said, made it apparent
that Democratic hopes were now. as before,
dependent on securing the electoral votes of
the solid South with those of two or three
Northern States sufficient to give them ma
jority. He then forciby set forth the real
significance of this phenomenon of solidly
Democratic South, made solid by Illegal and
desperate means, and powerfully appealed 10
the men Of Indiana, especially the old SOL
diers not to contribute to the success of this
scheme to capture the government, arguing
that an administration controlled by the
solid South would be harmful not only to
Northern interests but to the South itself,
setting it backward instead of forward in
the march of improvement, and checking
the development SO hopefully fostered by
the industrial policy of the Republic, IN

Mr.. Theodore Rooses cit, of New York,
made his first speech in Massachusetts at
Republican meeting in Maiden on Monday
night. The best portion of his speech was
that in which he discussed the qualifications
of Grover Cleveland. He said there was
much difference in Governor Clevelsnd's
energy for reform before and after he be-
came prominent candidate for the Presi-
dental nomination. From the early part of
March be became very cautious, aud while be
was ready to approve reform measures which
hurs Tammapy or the Republicans, those
which hurt the County Democracy, that is,
his own faction of the party, found little favor
with the Governor. He said be did not think
Governor Cleveland was a damagogue, but
he made 1t plain that he thought him rather
inferior timber for Presidential candidate
Mr.. Roosevelt asserted that the issue was
between parties rather than between men,
and he was not ready to aid the hazardous
experiment of a Democratic national ads
ministration.
The Portland daily press., 1884-10-22

Governor Waller Of Connecticut is now
talking boastfully about he certaiuty that
Cleveland will carry Connecticut, aud even
says that Cleveland's majority is likely to
be larger thai his own. The fact is that
neither If them is likely to have majority
THIS is the same Governor Waller who,
after tour of Ohio, making speeches for
the Democracy, declared himself just pre-
vious to lht election as follows:
81 look for l5 o0O Democratic majority. If we
do not get it. then will have no faith in Demo-
cratic management. We carried the State last
year. we have the best organization fair share of
the election officers. plenty Of money for legitimate
use, and every advantage necessary for victory.
Now If we 90 not succeed then will have no more
faith In the right
His present predictions therefore are those
of a man who has no faith in Democratic
management, or in the right, and vbo has
precious little reason to have any faith in
his own sagacity in election matters.

though not aged, and both hind legs were

that he could not endure standing on them,
but lifted first Que and then the O her for re-
lief-for very agony he could not eat; yet this
poor creature had within a short time been
owned by several persons, being bought and

Because what is everybody's business is
nobody's business. it is desirable and nec-
essary that there should be an organization
backed by ample legal authority which will
by its agents investigate cases and take
peremtory measures to save humenity from
the disgrace of such avarice and barbarity.
The address Of the National Democratic
Committee is not e very inspiriting docu-
ment. The committee are not to be blamed
for that however. The circumstances were
not favorable to good spirits or to courage.
The document is a long and dismal whine
over their defeat for which, of course, thev
can see no good reason and therefore impute
to the Republicans all sorts of unfair con-
duct. Ihls was TO be expected but it will
not recover what is lost. The Ohio election
appears to have struck in SO that the COM
mittee could think of litlle besides, and al
most the only hope they ven ure to express
concerning the future is based upon the
chance that they may recover Ohio in No
vember. The committee do not venture to
say Ohio is not necessary, and apparently
they have no expectation of success unless
they can carry Ohio. But we suspect there
are few men of common sense of any party
who Go not know in their hearts that The
Republicans are as certain to carry Ohio in
November as they are TO carry Maine. This
| address by stalking everything on the rever-
sal of Ohio's verdict is what the boys call a
clear give away.

An Humane Society.

A Miss Welton, lately deceased, has left
by viii between $4,000 and $3.50, 600 to the
New York Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals, of which Mr.. Henry
Bergh is the vigorous and humane head
This is the largest amount the Society has
ever received by one gift, but Mr.. Bergh says
far larger amount is soon coming by anoth-
er will. these endowments ought to place
the Society above the necessity Of appealing
to the public for support, certainly above de-
pendence on uncertain contributions. Our
Portland Society having the same aims has
received one handsome legacy, and there are
probably Others who will think well of work
which has for its purpose the prevention
of that decentralization and brutality which
comes from indifference to the sufferings of
helpless animals.
1t Is somewhat the fashion to ridcule this
humane work, ard there are those who pro.
test that the time and energy and money
might better be expended on suffering men
and women, just as there were in ancient
times those who thought that the box OF
precious ointment might better have been
sold and the proceeds given to the poor. The
truth is that nothing which inculcates kind
ness to any suffering sentient creature is
amiss, and no human being is wronged or
neglected because some persons give atten-
ton to creatures who have no voice to com
plain of the cruelties of which they are vic.
Tins. No one is less considerate of his du
ties to his fellow men because he has been
taught to be gentle and just to his horse and
his dog.

the church and the school as vel. as the
house may well make it part of their work
and care to aid this cause. The Portland
society is doing excellent work of much of
which the public never hears. But the
case of the suffering horse to which refer
enco was made yesterday and the day before
is a good illustration of its usefulness. It
