SANITARY STATISTICS.
Secretary MetcalfS Report to the State Board
of Health-Case of Chambers.

A meeting of the State Board of Health was
port Of the secretary DIR. c. N. Metcalf, before it
is submitted to the Governor. The members
present were Doctors Seawright Fritsch and
Boots. DR.. Lomax telegraphed from Marion that
he was unable to be present The report, which
is the fourth that has been made since the crea-
ton of the health board is quite long, and is de-
voted chiefly to comment on the general work of
the board the duty of the health officers, and to
the discussion of sanitary and hygienic subjects.
In his predatory remarks the secretary SAYS:
Notwithstanding the inestimable service and
good accomplished in preserving the health of the
citizens by the removal of all sources of
disease which have come under its observation,
1t has met with opposition from those who ought
by their education, to be its friends, and the law
OF its creation has been threatened with repeal.
However, if it will continue to exert its influence
in the future as in the past by showing itself
worthy of the duties that have been confided to
the care of Its members and if they will en-
ploy their best energies in making themselves
proficient in the study of hygiene and State san
itation, so as to be able to perform their work in
thorough manner, public opinion will force all
opposition to vanish. New powers will be granted
as well as more liberal appropriations to enable
1t to carry on its work efficiently"
The secretary complains that many of the
local health officers fail to perform their duties
and in consequence the State board is unable to
make as good showing in its report as it might,
as the returns of vital statistics are incomplete
and in many instances wholly unreliable IA
few health officers in the State" the secretary
says, evidently have taken 10 interest in the
work which they were elected to PERFORM but
but have regularly drawn pay for work poorly
performed. 1t has been with the greatest diff
Guilty that we have been able to obtain in
complete reports from these gentlemen.
They may, perhaps excuse themselves
on the ground that they are poorly
compensated for the work which they are re-
quired to perform. In few counties the com
missioners inclined to be parsmoIous; in
others they have committed the egregious blum
der of allowing the position to be filled by the
lowest bidder. without any regard whatever to
the qualifications of the applicant In one of
the largest counties of the State the lowest bid
der secured the office held it six months. drew
his pay and then resigned, without making a
report os any kind to this board. Consequently
half years vital statistics of that county will
not be published" With some exceptions. how
ever the secretary states that the present county
officers are honest and energetic.
The report states that there is some probable
ity that there will yet be an invasion Of cholera

Where the Trouble Lies.

Where the Trouble Lies.
For years past the fruit growers Of California
have been scolding the railway managers. charg
ing that the high rates of transportation made
itimpracticable to ship fruits to Eastern markets
to pay such rates made it necessary to
charge exorbitant prices for their fruit, which
consumers in Eastern markets would not do.
AS a result of their growlings the roads have.
in the last eighteen months. reduced rates one
half, but the people in Chicago, ST. Louis and
Indianapolis are paying just as much for Cali
fornia canned goods, green pears, plums and
grapes as they ever did. The middeman
Seems to be the one who profits by
the reduced rates. not the fruitraiser, the retail
merchant or the consumer A pear which sells
for 10 cents in Indianapolis costs, on the
average, cent in California; that is, when
packed in boxes ready for shipment The trans
portation is not over of cent, or make it
cent. The middleman sells the pear for from 3
to cents. according to size, or, in other words,
he gets fully 66 per cent. of the sum the fruit
sells for In Eastern marie IS just tor handling 1t.
On plums the profit is said to be still greater,
while on grapes the middlcman does not make,
proportionately, great per cent tits quite evil
dent that the California fruit-growers have not
yet got at the root of their troubles. The rail
roads have acted quite honorably in rate matters
and should be given a rest. The middleman is
the one the fruitgrowers should now tone down.
Has Poor Opinion of Spoilers.
The Rairoader for December says that 'the
worst comment on the spotter or train agent is
the fact that G. L. Dickinson, late auditor of the
l., b. & w. road, now for the benefit of his
health residing in Canada. was tine man who
placed them on that road. While Mr.. Dickinson
was himself robbing his company it was alto
gether appropriate that he employ other thieves
tn char nfI nd
honest men. We have always believed that the
spotter system was worked more in the interest
of thieves than honest men, and it becomes 8
most efficient ally of thieving officials, while
robbing their companies, for directing suspicion
from themselves to their honest conductors. The
thief is pretty apt to remember his old trick. of
crying stop thief to the honest men he meets.
The Railroader adds, I'VE believe that no high
minded, honorable man can be spotter or their
agent. His very occupation brands him disrep
utable character, to be despised wherever honor,
truth and virtue cherished. To condemn as
thieves, on the unsupported testimony Of such
character as the spotter, men who for their whole
lives have stood fair before the world, is imam
ous."
