IT4LY'S MAJORITY.

This is the twenty-frst anniversary of the
occupation of Rome by the Italian forces. That
event completed the work Of Italian unity begun
in 1913. when King Charles Albert proclaimed
A constitution and impaired an irresistible i'm
pulse to the national movement. The CONVEX
sion of the Papal City into the capital of united
Italy brought to an end what may be described
as the heroic period in the modern history Of
the nation.
1t was the age when Cavour advocated the
liberties of Parliamentary Government and
solved the problem of free Church in free
State when Victor Emmanuel, the soldier King
formed coalitions against Austria and then
against France, and liberated his country by
keen and audacous diplomacy as much as by
warfare and when Garibaldi, as fine a type
of the man of action as any age has known,
dared to accomplish what statesmen, parlia-
mentarians and economists cOnld not do Since
the occupation of Rome a period of the com
monpace has interviewed, during which the il
lusions of dealism cherished during the heroic
days may have been shattered. There have
been no great achievements since September
20. 1870, but there has been substantial prog
ress with an orderly development of the ma.
terial resources and political activities of the
nation.
During this late period of twenty-one year.
while united Italy with Rome as its poitica
centre has been attaining to its majority, Renan.

remarked "when the world gives men of minc
and culture broad hint that it mas no occasion
for their services, and that on the whole it get

TYPHOID IND WATER

The Health Department is puzzled every fall
by an outbreak of typhoid fever in New York
The number of cases of this dreaded disease
increases pretty uniformly from week to week
during the last half of August and September,
and falls off again with the arrival of steady
cold Weather. This annual development is at
tributed partly to the germs which persons re-
turning from the country bring back in their
systems; but physicians do not refer 1t ex-
clusivey to that cause, though they frankly say
that they are not sure of any other. They are
not prepared to acknowledge that the disease
has its origin in New-Yorh, except in an Occa-
siona isolated case. The Health Board ex-
presses the opinion that the unfortunate condl-
ton of the Cr0ton has no connection with this
years outbreak, which has now assumed dis
ouietng proportions But since 1t appears
from the record yesterday that this weeks re-
return of typhoid cases exceeds that OF any
other week in recent years. 1t is natural to ask
if the contaminated water supply may not rea-
sonably be held responsible. 1t is certainly to
be hoped that the Health Board is correct in
its negative opinion, for the prospect OF speedy
Improvement in the CrotOn is not encouraging,
and if our drinking water is now producing
typhoid it will probably continue to do so for
some time to come.
A few weeks ago we advised our readers to
adopt simple and costless safeguard and drink
only water that has been boiled. The trouble
involved is slight and nobody with eyes
to see can be imposed on; for the difference
between boiled and unboiled Croton at the pres
ent time can be distinguished at a glance. If
there are typhoid germs in the water as it comes
from the mains, boiling will reduce them to
condition of innocuOus desuetude if not, there
are at least other things in it which ought to
be rendered harmless. We are not promoting
a scare. but merely offering little advice, which
we believe to be good and which can be easily
followed. If this simple precaution does moth
ing else that is valuable it produces peace OF
mind. which is conducive to health.

rgr COMING MUSICAL SEASON.

IF music like jealousy, " doth make the meat
it feeds on" we may confidently look forward
to considerable elevation of the standard of
Judgment and generous extension OF good
taste and love for the art as a result of the
activities of the season upon which we are soon
to enter. From every point of view these
activities promise to be extraordinary. OF Or
chestral concerts alone New-York and Brook
lyn will hear over one hundred between the
middle of November and the middle of April.
The fact might be permitted to stand without
comment rs a sufficient answer to the opinion
which it seems to please some persons to hold,

metropolis when Mr.. Thomas betook himself

fault to find was a shortage of baskets at one
