Hevrrs Sad Condition.

There is no Improvement in the condition
of affairs in Hayti Hippolyte and Leg
itime are doing all they can to reduce the
population of the island and destroy the
towns and plantations. If left to them
selves they will continue to fight until one
or the other OF them is completely ex-
bausted, and nothing is left in Hayti worth
saving. The kind of war they are conduct
ing now would be a disgrace to the savage
tribes Of Africa.
On Jan. "a some of Legitimes vessels
landed at Grand Saline 900 troops, com
manded by thirteen generals They marched
inland twenty miles to attack Gonaives.
Hippolyte met them with portion of his
army and completely routed them. He
took 200 Of the troops and twelve of the
generals prisoners, and, it is reported had
them all shot on the following day
Legitime will have to take better care Of
his private soldiers and generals, or he will
be without an army before long. He must
be well supplied with generals or there
would be a scarcity of them now IN his
army.
Hippolyte appears to be the better
general. From the reports received be has
been quite successful in his rebellion. II he
bad arms and ammunition in sufficient
quantities TO meet the demands Of his army,
it is not improbable that be would very
soon drive Legitime out OF Port au Prince.
1t is believed that be is getting war sup
plies from this country. Mr.. Preston, the
Haytian minister, bothers the FEDERAL au-
thorlties in New York great deal with
reports that this or that vessel is receiving
munitions OF war fo- Hippolyte, and is
about to leave for HaYt.
1t is not improbable that an effort will be
made 10y England and France to put an end
to the war in the near future. There are
reports that they are interesting themselves
in Hayeian affairs. II they are, perhaps
they have some object in view other than
tue good Of tho Haytians The government
Of this country does not appear to be taking
much interest in Hayti since the Haytien
Republic episode.

The samoan Conference.

II is t. be presumed that Secretary Bay
ard knew what he was doing in consenting
to a renewal Of the conference of 1887, rela-
tive to Samoan matters. Germany has de-
clared war against Mataafa, but it is hardly
probable that it is her purpose to con.
tinue the war pending the conference Her
proposition for a renewal of the conference
has not teen made public, but It's accept
ance by Secretary Bayard justifies the con-
clusion that Germany is to make no az
gressive movements in Samoa that are not
unless there is failure by the conference
to reach a settlement that will be acceptable
to the three powers interested.
The reason for selecting Berlin instead of
Washington as the place for holding the
conference is not apparent. In 1887 the
conference was held in the latter city.
Doubtless the reason for the change is a
satisfactory one, or else Secretary Bayard
would not have agreed to the change. He
is soon to retire from office, and is no doubt
particularly careful, therefore, to do moth
ing to jeopardlze American interests, be-
cause if he were to make a serious mistake,
and the incoming administration failed to
secure a satisfactory settlement, it would
place the blame upon him, whether he was
to blame or not
Secretary Bayard appears to be satisfied
that the conference will reach solution of
the Samoan trouble that will meet with the
approval Of this country. He does not
apprehend any difficulty with Germany
and says that there is every reason to think
that the rights Of the Samoans will be fully
protected When Secretary Bayard's
career as Secretary of State shall be re-
viewed with candor and fairness, it will be
admitted doubtless that he made very few
mistakes. The republican press has never
shown disposition to do him justice, but
when he is out of office it may treat him
with greater fairness II it has occasion to
refer to his Official career.

The opposition to political prayers by
ministers employed to open the proceedings
of legislative bodies is gaining strength.
The Rev DR.. Leech offered prayer in the
New York Senate few days ago that gave
offense to some of the senator's. One Of
them made a motion that be should not be
invited to oficiate again. In Offering his
motion the senator said: III do not think
that under the guise Of a prayer we ought
to be required to sit here and have tie

Why q Health Board is Needed.

W ny a. I1bd4lLi LSOcl40 - ~'COGCA+
There are indications that the Florida
legislature will not pass promptly a bill
creating a state board of health. There
appears to be great difference Of opinion
among the members respecting the powers
which should be conferred upon such a
beard. and some Of them even express a
doubt whether the best interests of the
state demand a state health board.
1t was 10 be expected of course that
there would not be entire har mony respect
ing the object for which the extra session
was called, but it was not thought that
there would be any marsed opposition TO
all legislation of the kind proposed. The
experiences f last summer ought TO be suffi-
cient II convince almost any one that the
want Of authority to regulate quar-
antiue matters caused an immense
amount of damage to the state.
Bus ness was almost to ally suspended in
many counties by the quarantine restric-
tons TIE same thing will occur again
whenever there are rumors Of yellow fever
in any part Of the state unless state board
OF health shall be esta blished With authority
not Only to provide safeguards against the
fever, but, also, to do what can be done to
stamp it OUT whenever it makes its appear
ance.
The experience Of last summer teaches
that it is a much wiser plan to adopt meas
ures fer couining the fever to the locality
in which it originates than to undertake 70
protect other places by quarantinng against
the infected place In other words, the
chances of preventing the spread OF the
fever by fencing 1t IL are much greater
tbal by fencing it out and the cost Of the
former method is much less than The latter.
II is clear that unless there is state
board Of health. TO which he C unity boards
are subordinate, the fencing in method can
not be enforced An afflicted town can be
depended upon 10 do all that can be done to
prevent the fever from spreading within its
limits, but it cannot be depended upon to
prevent it from spreading to other towns.
O1ly the state, or the federal government,
can prevent he inhabitants of an infected
place from leaving 1t. aud thus confi1e the
disease TO a small territory.
The federal government will not take
charge of an infected place unless requested
to do so by the state authorities. and this
request IS not likely TO be made in time to
prevent the infection from being carried to
other localities. A st to board Of health,
being in close communication with the local
boards, would be in a position to act as
soon as there was a suspicion of danger. If
federal aid were needed it could be called
for by the state boa d.
A state board of health, composed of ca
pable and clear headed men, would be I'M
doubtedly Of vast benefit to Florida. Tie
knowledge that vigiiant health officers
we're guarding The stale against the intro
duction of infectious and cautsgiou diseases
would have good effect and the assurance
that nothing known to medical science
would be left untred to prevent the spread
of epidemic diseases would strengthen con-
fidence in the probability Of the state escap.
ing epidemics altogether.

A New Route to China.

There is a movement on foot to establish
a through route between Liverpool and one
or more of the ports of China. The propo-
sition is to put on line of steamers betwe n
Liverpool and Montreal, Halifax or Que
bee, and also one between Vancouver and
Yokohama or Hong Kong-the two lines to
be connected by the Canadian Pacific rail-
road. Sir George Smith Baden Powell, a
wealthy English capitalist and member Of
parliament. is now on his way to Van
couver to look after the establishment of
the Pacific line of steamers. 1t is under
stood that the Atlantic line Of steamers is
already arranged for.
The English government, il is understood,
is willing TO help this enterprise by liberal
subsidy. 1t vii! be of great benefit to Eng
land and Canada in the event OF a war with
this country, and will open the way for
greatly increasing the trade Of both Eng
land and Canada with China and Japan.
A great deal of Canada -four is now shipped
to Japan.
1t is question whether this route will
not give England the control Of the Chinese
trade. The time over the Canada Pacific
railroad from the Atlantic to the Pacific is
one day less than it is over the Pacific roads
of this country. 1t is claimed that
the distance between Liverpool and Hong
Kong can be covered in less time by seven
days by the proposed route than by the
route now taken by the commerce between
England and China. This is an immense
saving, and ought TO attract the attention
of this country. The Canada Pacific was
built at an immense expense to Canada, and
when it was flashed it was thought that it
would not pay expenses for a great many
years 1t begins TO look, however, as if it
would not be long before it would pay
dividend upon the money invested in it.
Canada is growing with marvellous rapidly.

And they are lined in a brilliant blue tint;
They are bright as the stars twnSlng up in the

That she's almost unable to speak;

Several republican senator's, who have
been consulted by democrats, have stated
that the Senate will confirm no more
political nomir ations this session, and it is
said that on this account Mr.. Cleveland has
refrained from making some nominations
that he would like to. He wanted to nomi-
nate Assistant Secretary Thompson, of
South Carolina, to the vacancy on the civil
service commission. but the attitude of the
republican senators deferred him. A repub-
hcan senator is represented as having said,
however, that Mr. Thompson would be con-
frmed for almost any position to which be
might be nominated, because of his uni
formly polite and fair treatment of mem
bers of congress- regardless of party. 1t is
probable that the senator spoke only for
himself. There Is an evident determination
on the part of the republicans of the Senate
to ignore Mr.. Cleveland's nominations, and
to leave all vacancies in political offices TO
be filed by Gen. Harrison. W nile the SEN
ate is talking about civil service reform,
the republicans might say something about
their position on this point.
