The Mortality In August Throughout the
State. ..

ALBANY. Sept. 30.-The monthly bulletin Of
the State Board Of Health for August contains
these remarks: 49,
Mortality reports from 1873 cities villages,
and large towns. having an aggregate popula-
tion Of 4.31 900. show the total number OF
deaths from all causes In August to have been
8.913. making a death rate per Thousand OF
24.34 per annum in July the death rate for the
same places was 25 and in June. 22.7S: 50.4
per cent 81 the deaths in these localities were
under five years Of age. and 81 per cent Of the
deaths were from Zymotic diseases. 233 per
cent. being from diarrhHal diseases. nearly
one-fourth OF the total urban mortality, or
l,s0O deaths occurring In rural districts
20 per cent. were OF children I'M
from zymotic diseases. 1875 being from
dlarrhPa. For tho State these proportions
vary little from the average for six years, tho
zymotic and diarrh9al mortality being little
lower than the average. Typhoid fever
shows the usual increase. which always begins
in August and continues through the fall
months: the increase over july. Is chiefly In
the maritime district. which ordinarily has q
lower death rate from this cause than other
sanitary districts. There were fewer deaths
from scarlet fever measles and diphtnerls
whocping cough. There werc. more deaths
than usual from accidents. chiefly from drown.
ing and railway injuries.

tits noticeable that tho Republican chance
In New York rests upon the party's success
in representing tho campaign on either side
as something which 1t Is not. The Repub-
lican canvass. shaped as It is by its dtrec-
tors. Is deceit In attack and defence.
An effort to remove the impression that
PLAT and FAssErr stand for New York's
deprivation OF the Worlds Fair was abso-
lutely necessary II the Republican forces
would presume to hold the field at all. The
first appeal offered In their candidates be-
half was that he and his friends were not
responsible for the outrage. Yet tho EVIL
dence Is irresistible that the Fair was lost
to New York through Republican treachery.
The Chicago Inter Ocean says so. and that Is
good enough authority.
Mr.. FAssETT's attempt to make the op-
position to his party appear something
other than what 1t IL In truth Is equally
clear and equally hopeless. He has under
taken to create the idea that the enemy In
front Of him is not the Democratic party.
He is going about the country bubbling
over with insinuation that the Democracy
Of the Empire State has retired from the
Gubernatorial contest. and that the only
show Of fight and the only possible profit Of
victory is that Of Tammany Hall in this city.
As the most potent influence in the prin-
cipal Democratic stronghold. Tammany
Hall has always been abhorred by the up
country Republicans. Along with that
feeling there has been, perhaps. throughout
the rural districts streak of Democratic
jealousy Of the immense metropolitan Or
ganization. The FAssETT scheme is to stir
Republican feeling throughout the State by
calling 1t to unite against the most solid
and powerful body Of it's foes. and to lull
the Democratic enthusiasm by arguing that
the country Democrats are not concerned
in the contest.
1t is needless to say that Mr.. FAssETT's
plan Of campaign Is as false on one side as on
the other. The Republican party is RESPONSE
BILE for robbing New York Of the Worlds Fair.
and the Democracy Of the State is to-day.

passports undor such rules as the President
shall designate and prescribe. but that no
passports shall BIO granted or issued to any
other persons than citizens. The language
OF tho law is declaratory Of power rather
than mandatory as to It's exercise. and we
are inclined to think that pass
port might be refused oven to a citizen
under circumstances which In the judy
ment OF the State Department and the
President rendered 1t improper or inexpe-
dent to issue one. II this view is correct,
no mandamus could be granted. for the gu
preme Court Of the United States has held
again and again that the judiciary cannot
interfere either by mandamus or injunction
with executive officers. such as the heads Of
departments. in the discharge Of their Of
fetal duties unless those duties are purely
ministerial in character and involve no ex-
ercise OF judgment or official discretion.
Probably the best way for WoNa CHIN Foo
to obtain an authoritative adjudication from
the courts rs to his citizenship would DO to
attempt to vote at an election for member
OF Congress.

The suicide Of Gen. BouLANaER by the
grave Of his mistress is the melodramatic
close of typical Gallo melodrama. The pre-
eminent quality OF the man was vanity. and
such death was the elimination Of over
weening vanity. He belonged by spirit not
to the latter-day republican. bourgeois era.
but to the artificial. vain. snowy. insincere
period OF the second empire. and the tawdry
sentimentality OF his death. as OF his life. is
characteristic Of the heroes Of PAUL DE KocK
and BENJAMIN CONSTANT. He did as they would
have done. His gallantry was the false gallantry
that is 80 imposing to the French magma
ton. so intolerable to the Anglo.Saxon SINGER
ity: galantry that used women as means
to his own selfish purposes. His sense Of honor
was that characteristic honor noted in dis
honor that sacrificed everything and every
body to his own advancement He was not

school of The Three Guardsmen." but VIC
tim Of sentimental selfshness. And yet there
will doubtless be fair hands enough to deck
his grave. and many men and women who will
weep tears OF sensibility over an idol whose
head was OF brass and his feet OF clay.

Apparently no person, either In this State
or In Illinois, has observed the impressive
coincidence hero exhibited. or noted Its sig
niflcance.
The so-called Worlds Fair. which Chicago
owes solely to the friendly. II not disinter-
ested. efforts OF Mr.. PLAT and Mr.. FAssETT.
will be held In 1893. provided that the City
Of False Pretences can borrow or beg
money enough from outside sources to start
tho wheels a-golng The original intention to
commemorate In an appropriate manner
the four-hundredth anniversary OF the dis
covery OF America by CHRISTOPHER CoLUM-
BUS has been abandoned. That anniversary
occurs in the year 1892 Tho change Of date
removes the proposed Worlds Fair from
direct relation with the fame OF COLUMBUS.
or with the memory Of tho event which
made the name OF the eminent navigator
Immortal. The Exhibition held in 1893 may
be a great affair. butit will have no more to
do with CHRIsToPHER COLUMBUS and the
discovery OF the Western world In 1892 than
with the invasion Of Italy by CHARLES VIII.
OF France in 1904. The Columbian sentiment
lie eliminated.
But. as we have proved above by the ire
futable logic Of mathematical demonstra-
ton. the Chicago Fair Of 1893 will COM
memorate the centennial OF Chicago's allies
and bcnefactors In its great bunco enter
prise. Why should not Chicago fling to
the winds the flimsy COLUMBUS sham
together with the other false pretences
she is now repudiating. and hold her Fair
openly and squarely as PLATT-FAssErT
Centennial?
It may be objected that both Of these gen.
tlemen are citizens Of New York, not Of ILL
nois. True; but it is for Chicago. not for
New York. that they have plotted. intrigued.
and labored. 1t Is Chicago, not New York.
that owes them gratitude.

Chicago on the Greatest Social Event
in the History OF the Northwest.

There was a wedding in Minneapolis last
week. and there was q poet from our
esteemed contemporary. the Chicago Inter-
Ocean. to MARBLE an epithaiamium. With
only the sincerest admiration for the Flour
City. we feel sure that no Minneapolitan
genius polished the three-column jewel OF
poetic prose which glittered in our Chicago
contemporary during tho next day. We
recognize In it the workmanship Of the artist
who used to cover the unique decoration
and chaste upholstery Of the Auditorium
with bouquets Of adjectives. and with
steers horn from the Stock Yards blow
pecan in celebration OF the coming Of the
Worlds Fair to Cook county. The style Is
the man. But come to the wedding.
Without INDUCING in hyperbole or
grandiloquent phrases" chants the poet.
this wedding may be denominated the
most important social event in the history
of the Northwest" It was natural that
Chicago should be on hand at the most Inn
portant social event In the history of the
Northwest. Besides. the bridegroom and
the bride are going to live or exist in the
Bunco Metropolis. But hush. It Is eight
