TYPHOID FEVER IN BROOKLYN

II cannot be denied that there is some grounu
for alarm over the prevalence OF typholu ieFer
in certain quarter OF Brooklyn. Inc disease
appears to be increasing instead OF aDatlng'
The officials of the Health Board assert, now
ever that the mortality from this cause Is aoouV
the same this year as last for the whole CITY,
On the other hand, it is said that only cases
which are undoubtedly typhoid arc reported by
musicians. while q large number of persons are
suffering from fever not distinctly typhoid, but
nrobablv of miasmatc origin. Why so many
cases of fever should occur in one small district
in South Brooklyn is pulling to the physicians
and health authorities. There is no apparent
cause for this. The district is occupied by
well-to-do people, whose houses are believed 10
be in good sanitary condition. Some doctors
attribute the foyer to dccaylng leaves In the
streets. This does not seem reasonable. 1t
fails to account for the fact that the cases arc
confined to one neighborhood; and. moreover,
the leaves having disappeared, there should be
no more people attacked with fever.
Others say that imperfect ventilation in the
sewers has had something to do with the out
break and it is suggested that there may be a
leak in one of the sewers. \ recent cXainlna-
ton of the sewers showed them 10 be in good
condition. however. 1t Is believed that break
could not be discovered without digging, and
turning up a large quantity OF earth would
naturally tend to increase diseases OF malarlal
character The most general belief is that the
fever has been contracted in the country. rs Il
matter of fact hardly any one has been attacked
who did not spend part Of tho summer away
from the city. But as the sick persons passed
Il IN, iJ,lt- fed n :
hardly likely that the same conditions could
have prevailed in the case OF all those pros
tratcd. There is one other cause, on which little
emphasis has been laid; and that Is the filthy
Gowanus Canal. This may have had more
effect than has been allowed for. We can see
no reason for the attacks which some thought
less persons have made on the Board OF Health.
Thee seem to have done all in their power, and
It i. difficult to suggest what further measures
could be taken to prevent the spread OF the
disease.
IL is pretty certain that the water supply of
BROOKLYN has had nothing to do with the out
break of fever, although typhoid fever scourgcs
can often be traced To pollution OF the sources
from which water is obtained. Within "A few
weeks an analysis of the Ridgcwood water was
made because Of Il sensational story that the
drainage from a cemetery flowed into one of
the reservoirs but it was found that the quail
ity of the water was unimpaircd 1t bchoovcs
families in which typhoid fever breaks out to
be- extremely careful in the matter Of diSinfcc-
ton. And those who wish to escape the dis
ease should exercise great care in regard to cX-
crcisc. food, ventilation and all other things
winch have IL more or less direct bearing upon
good health.

distrusted as an unsafe and almost reckless
leader took p aims on every occasion to reassure
the country with the most conservative views
of public affairs. By creditable industry the
Ministry contrived to secure the passage OF
series of important measures before the close OF
Parliament, thereby giving the country prac-
teal evidence that domestic legislation wouid
not suffer if the Conservatives should remain IN
power Before the constituencies themselves
the party appeared as a compact, unlted or
eanizaton, with Lord Randolph Churchill as
the confidential adviser of the Prime Minister.
Persistent efforts we're made to attract various
elements of support. The Irish vote in doubt
ful constituencies was secured by lntrgues
with Mr.. Parnell The Wing vote was con-
stantly courted and Mr.. Chamberlain was IN
variably designated as the real leader of the
Liberal par,v The disestablishment issue was
dragged into the canvass for the sake of fright
ening Churchmen and alternating l. LIBERAL sup
port Without presenting any distinct question
to the country the Conservatives have made q
most adroit and ingenious use OF every expedl-
ent for attracting votes and weakening ana
harassing the Opposition.
The Conservative triumph is to be attributed,
however, mainly to the dissensions in the
Liberal ranks. The factiOnal warfare when
was conducted in Mr.. Gladstone's Cabinet has
been transferred to the constituencies them
selves, where Wings and Radicals have often
appeared more anxious to compass the defeat
of party rivals than to overthrow the Tories.
The Liberals have not gone before the country
with united front or with definite pro-
gramme of legislation and reforms Faction
has been plotting against faction and notorious
feuds have threatened to destroy the influence
and effect the speedy ruin of any Liberal
Cabinet that might be formed. MIR.
Gladstoncs eloquent appeal for unity
and harmony was heard too late to re-
trieve inevitable disaster. The catastrophe
apparently has now occurred. The Liberals
have received from the constituencies an en-
phatic warning that divided party cannot be
entrusted with the Goyernment-that their
ranks must be reformed, their policy rccast,
their Jealous fcuds aud fractional rancor sup
pressed, before they can hope to resume their
progressive work.
