Sanitary Suggestions.

Notwithstanding the very healthy co,d'-
ton OF this city, when the fever appeared
at Jacksonville our city authorities inaugu-
rated a system Of sanitary work at orce.
This was accepted as en indication that
they were not entirely satisfied with the
city's sanitary con lition, and it caused some
uLeasiness. As a matter Of fact, the city
was quite clean. and, in the opinion of good
sanijarians, prepared to resist disease The
thorough cleaning up process, however,
which was inaHgurated was thought to be
necessary as precaution, and no doubt will
prove to be worth all the money spent
upon it.
Is there not a lesson to be learned from
the haste with which additional sanitary
work was done as soon as danger was APP
prehendedl Every summer there is feel
ing OF uueasiness respecting the health of
the city. Cannot this feeling be banished
altoge hers 1t arises largely from the
knowledge that there are things calculated
to cause sickness within the city's limits
and its immediate vicinity. One of these
things is the vault, which still remains in
many localities, and which is not as care
fully looked after in many instances as it
ought 10 be. Another is the Ogeechea
canal which, in its present condition, is be-
heyed TO be souic of malaria, and still
another is the bad condition of the drainage
of many OF the residences
The city, at the earliest possible moment,
s4sould adopt a system of sewerage SO that
every house could have cheap and, at the
same time, perfect drainage. The vault
should be abolished. Not one should be
permitted to remain within the city's limits.
The canals about the city should be put in
good condition and kept so. Every summer
there should be lnaugurated thorough
system of sanitation, something like that
which is being carried on now.
and it should be continued until
the season of danger is over. Residences
should be inspected and their occupants
made to conform TO strict sanitary regula-
lations. The sort of inspection that is some
times done is a mere farce, and is produc-
tive of no good whatever. The inspectors
should be men of judgment, who not only
know their duty but who have the courage
TO do it.
A board of hsalth is wanted here-a
board composed of physicians and santa
rians. The members of the present sanitary
commission are good citizens and good men,
and are ready to do what they can in the
line of their duties, but the commission is
not just what is wanted, and it doesn't do
exactly the work that is required. A board
is needed that will make the city's health
study, and that will point out, and will
insist upon carrying out, reforms that will
make this about the healthiest city in the
country

publican platform adopted at Saratoga on Tues

this cannot be the result of oversight-for

One Thing Council Should Do.

Nobody doubts that Savannah will con-
tinue to grow steadily in wealth aud popu-
lation. Her growth within the last four or
five years is as surprising as it is gratifying
and there is now every prospect that in
each succeeding year the increase in every
thing that helps to make large and pros
porous city will be more marked than in
any previous year. Why, then, should not
the city authorities make the necessary pro-
visions for the accommodation of the ex-
pected population.
There may Ee those who would like TO
know what che authorities ought TO do
Well, there is one thing they ought to do
without unnece isary delay. All the princi-
pal streets ought TO be extended IN ell cases
where they could be advantageously. 1t
might DO advisable to extend the city's
limits in some localities, and when that is
done, small tax, sufficient to cover improve
ments in the extended limits, might be i'm
posed
The MORNING News has for years urged
the adoption of the policy of providing for
the citys growth ahead of the actual de-
mand for additional building room. A
moments consideration will show tho
wisdom of this policy. In most cases the
city has to buy the right of way for streets,
and if nothing is done toward opening
them until the necessity fsr doing so be-
comes imperative, the cost to the city will
be many times greater taan If the streets
we opened while the land needed for
item can still he had at a compare
lively email price. The right of way
for the principal streets should
be secured not for quarter or half a mile,
but for several miles This is the course
the city authorities would pursue if they
were managing their own affairs. Why
should they not pursue it when acting for

everybody for long time. He would call out:
"Allhauds stand up"
Everybody would stand up for ten seconds.
Then he would say: "All hands sit down Pass

This operation he would repeat several times
during the evening, until he would call for a
last drink and break up the meeting.
What do you do that for?" was at last put
to him very emphatically.

Disgreceful Warfare.

The MORNING News referred briefly the
other day to the publication in Pittsburg
pa newspaper of q story that Mrs. Cleve-
land is a cousin of the nineteenth wife, or
the "favorite wife," of the late Brigham
Young, and that on account of this relation
ship President Cleveland is VIGOROUSLY
partial to polygamist criminals, many of
whom are pardoned by him, and some of
whom are pardoned before they have had
their hair cropped.
OF course the purpose of this story is to
injure Mr. CleveIand's chances for re-elec-
ton, by making it appear that he encour-
ages polygamy by granting indiscriminate
pardons to Mormons who have been CON
victed of that crime, and it is expected that
by placing Mrs. Cleveland in very unen-
viable light before the public she will be
robbed of some of her popularity.
Delegate Dubois, of Idaho, lately intro
duced in the House resolution calling on
the President for list Of pardons Of poIyga-
nous convicts. In support of the resolution,
he said an investigation would refute Il o
statement that less than one-half of the
Mormons are living in polygamy. aud he
limited very broadly that if polygamy had
not been as nearly suppressed as it should
be, Mr. Cleveland is responsible for the
failure
Is it possible that there is person, pre-
tending 20 be respectable, who is so utterly
devoid Of every attribute of manhood as to
concoct and publish the statements printed
in the Pttsburg Leader? Does not the
Leader know that if, by any chance, the
story should make one Harrison convert, it
will also make fifty Cleveland converts?
Can it be that there is man in congress
possessing so little foresight as not
to see that the Dubois resolu-
ton will do Mr. Cleveland more good than
harm9 There are some pretty mean repub-
lican organs in this country, but nearly all
of them are too shrewd to countenance this
disgraceful manner of warfare
Mr.. Cleveland is not disposed to be lon
lent to polygamists. Since he has been
President greater efforts have been made to
suppress polygamy than ever before. If the
republicans attempt to make it appear that
Mr.. Cleveland is an apologist for polyga-
| mists, they will find they are making a
| great mistake.

up dispute which can never be definitely
