all lower than the average, the death rate
for the total white being the lowest, with
one exception, in the District.

This district was known as Swan
poodle" The Tiber creek crossed this dis
trict from north to south, being Joined
about the center by quite large stream
from the east. 1t contained a dense alley
and short street population around the gov
eminent printing office and adjacent to
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad.
The death rates in this district, exclusive
OF stillbirths, were follows: Total-White
20.6S; colored, 1858; under five years-white,
12.6s; colored, 1929; malarial fever, 375l:
diphtheria and Group, 60s6; diarrheal dis

This shows the death rates for the whites
the greatest excess having been for the
white children under years of age The
death rate for the total colored was about
the same as the average. while the rate for
the coiored children under years was
lower than usual
Diphtheria and Group and diarrheal dis.

1t will be seen from these tables that
while there are exceptions the rule In that
the death rate diminishes as the altitude
increases. and that this is true for both
the white and the colored. In Baltimore
city in those districts under Is feet in alti-
tude the average annual death rate was
26.lS, in those between Is and 80 feet In alti-
tude IL was B6y from so to 20 IL was % IS
from Is to 100 II was 1919. and 100 and over
II was 1882. In Washington the death rate
was 2l.6l in the localities under IS feet in
altitude and HS6 in those 100 feet high and
upward.
The Mortality I'm Different Months.
Another series of tables groups the deaths
under different causes and by months.
showing that the hot months Of July and
August are those of the highest mortality.
The report says:
These tables present many interesting
points for comparison and study. 1t will
be seen. for example. that in both cities
oiphtheria especially prevails from August

August TO December. malarlal fevers In

csues We're most frequent in the District
OF columbia in February. March and De-
cember; in Baltimore in March. August and
December, while accidents and injuries
caused the greater number OF deaths In
July and August I'm Baltimore and in June
and July in the District of Columbia. SUM-
stroke was more fatal in Washington than
IN baltimore. The higher death rate in the
summer months is due entirely to the high
er infantile death rate; the minor increase
OF death rates in the colder months is due
mainly to increase Of the death rate among
those sixty years of age and upward. The
greatest variation in monthly death rates
occurred among the colored in Baltimore
city, ranging from 2.is in November to "A
In July per 1000 OF population.
Typhoid Fever.
During the six-year period typhoid fever
caused eO4 deaths in Baltimore city, or 40.f7
deaths annually per 10000 OF population
During the census year IL caused l61 deaths
or 4O75 per 10000 Of population. the rate
being a little above the average.
The death rate from typhoid fever was
greater among the colored, and especially
SO for the group five to fifteen years of age

the duty imposed by the retaliatory proclamations and soon after reimpose it wholly or in part by act of congress. The suggest tion is mace that 1t might be advisable for the ways and means committee to settle the sugar question promptly and then induce the state de- partment to proceed upon the assump- ton that the committees decision VIII be accepted by congress.
 That plan is not likely to be adopted. Secretary Gresham will hardly act upon the assumption that the decision of the committee will be the decision of con- gress. If the majority in the senate is going to accept it as settled that noth- ing can be done by that body so long as the minority says no. there will be no tariff legislation of any importance. The republican Chicago Tribune states plainly what will happen: Tn the course of time the house, which stlll legislates, will send up bill to repeal or seriously modify the Mckinley law. The republican minority will say that it must not pass" The majority has decided that it is helpless against min- ing-camp selfishness; it will find itself equally helpless against mill-boss self ishness, and there will be no tariff re- form unless the majority finds way to govern. The president and the secre- tary of state understand that perfectly. and they are not going to act upon the assumption that the senate will concur in the passage of any tariff bill that may be sent over from the house.-Chi- cago Herald.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

A democratic president, demo- cratic congress, democratic state ad- mini stration throughout and a demo- cratic legislature! Verify, the demo- cratic hosts at Saratoga have cause for rejoicing. A lbany Argus.
 Among the business men and manufacturers who are the chief SUD- porters of protection, the financial is- sue is held to be so much the more inn portant that, if they had to choose be- tween the two. they would sacrifice protection to save the currency from de- basement.-Portland Oregonian (Rep. ].
 It is little singular that the much tall1ed-abou democratic hatred of the negro" did not prevent the nom- inatlon and confirmation of Charles H. J. Taylor, a prominent colored man of Bolivia. To be sure, Mir. Taylor is man of good moral character and intel lectual ability: but he is negro, and. if republican papers are to be believed, that fact alone is sufficient to disqual. fly him in the eyes of democrats St. Paul Globe
 -Whitelaw Reid's idea that the re- suit of election may be mitigated by a petition presented to those who were successful in the polling by those who were beaten, that the whole current of events may be changed, is novelty. Perhaps Mir. Whitelaw Reid will next propose that petition be presented to congress asking that congress recon slider its finding that Mir. Stevenson was elected vice president of the Unit. ed States and proceed to declare that Mir. Whitelaw Reid was really the sue cessful person and therefore must now preside in the senate. Just as effectu- ally as the election of 1892 disposed of the ambition of Whitelaw Reid for the vice presidency it disposed also of the claim of McKinleyism for further con sideration.-Chicago Times

A CRYING NEED.
Additional Burdens Imposed by the Pro-
 lection System.

Additional Burdens Imposed by the Pro-
 lection system.
 Western and southern staple pro- ducers never needed tariff for revenue more than now. A tariff for revenue is equivalent to a reduced cost of trans portation both ways Every farmer knows what reduced transportation charges do for the movement of crops and the purchase of goods
 Farm debts never pressed more heav- fly and farm profits were never more unsatisfactory. Wheat prices drag Cotton is no better, and the big pack ing houses have claimed that they must cut down expenses These are the three great sources of our export trade.
 For seventy years the tariff question has been the same-how much the sta- pie producers could be charged for the support of government and the main tenance of certain lines of manufac- ture. Not only how much actual money they should pay, but how much restric- tion of trade they could stand.
 Radical additions to taxation and re- striction have been made without notice to the staple producers. The inn position of new burdens in 1888 and 1890 was made when all the pledges out were for reduction.
 In spite of that habitual treatment the agricultural states do not ask for an immediate plotting out of all pro- lection. Their expectation is that democratic ways and means committee will present bill whose guiding pur- pose will be the encouragemento of trade and production. The raising of reve- nue necessitates some protection as long as we have a tariff of any kind. We can stand that much protection, and not a great deal more
 It has always been the case hereto-i fore, when tariff bill is in course of preparation, that the country hears, great deal about the effect on the pro- tected industries This time we have a right to hear less about that and more about cheap transportation and the en- couraging effect on export industries.
 When the ways and means commit tee in its experiments gets to bill for the merchants, farmers, school teach CTS, preachers, lawyers, carpenters, masons and blacksmiths it can stop right there. That bill will be good enough.-St. Louis Republic

4 RETALIATION POLICY.
Eurtfui Effects of the Mckinley Bill on
 American Interests.


 President Harrison issued proclama- tions laying retaliatory duties on cer- tain products of Venezuela, Colombia and iiayti, as provided by the McKin- Icy act because those countries refused To make such reciprocity diclxers as he deemed satisfactory. It was soon per ceived that these retaliatory duties were at least as hurtful to American inter ssts as they were to the interests of the countries against which they were di- rected.
 This result, which economists had foreseen, was we'll known to the new admins tration, and it was understood that the retaliatory proclamations would be promptly rescinded. The statement was made in March that the president was strongly inclined either 10 rescind the proclamations or to aban- don the entire reciprocity business and treat all countries alike. But for vari- ous reasons he decided to postpone ac- ton. For one thing, there was possi- bility. at least. that the withdrawal of the proclamations might call forth strong protests and even retaliatory measures from some of the countries with which reciprocity dickers had been made, and it was deemed advisa- ble not to cause unnecessary irritation. But more potent consideration was the fact that congress was expected soon to revise the whole tariff system and adopt new policy with respect to our foreign trade relations. As that was the case, it was deemed advisa ble not to make a change by executive ac. ton which might soon be followed by another change by legislative action.
 According to a Washington dispatch there has of late been a special reason for postponing executive action. More revenue must be raised from some source It may be raised in part by means Of duty on sugar 1t woulc look like very ickle policy to abolisf
