ACTIYITY IN GEORGII.

These are great days for Georgia. During
the last year more things have happened in
that State than in any other of the same size
and population in the Union. There has not
been so much activity there and the State has
not attracted so much attention since Sherman
marched through it and had it SGT to music.
Scarcely a day passes now that the newspapers
do not have reports of occurrences down there

startlc the general public This is not wholly

To be denied that the combination of Georgia
statesmen consisting of IIolle Smith "Dnkv
Bolts and Il" POd' Dismuke, which burst upon
the public view with the advent of the present
Administration has had much to do with the
prevailing activity. But "Tom" Watson had
been making considerable stir before that
group had begun to charm the popular fancy
and exercise its peculiar destinations on the
common mind. The great movement in eggs
during the visit of General Weaver and Mrs
Lease to the State last fall drew considerable
attention. and il was remarked at the time that
there was rising tide Of enthusiasm that IL
continued might result in boom. Since

THE MAYOR AND THE DEATH RATE

Whoever imparially considers tho vital
statistics of New-YOrk for last week must find
in the melancholy and disquetng record an
indictment of the city government which no
official pleading can void or excuse. The deaths
from all causes were l, 1i9, total which would
warrant any one who had no other knowledge
of the situation in concluding that pcstilcncc
was at work here Estimating the population
at 1900, OOO-and probably even Tammany
census would not make it larger-the mortality
last week was at the rate Of 33 per thousand
yearly No cause '. ich can be properly
designated as natural contributed to this start
ling result The weather, 10 say the worst of
it, was not peculiarly unfavorable. There was
not an unusual number of accidental deaths
No special temptation to mprudencc existed
Nor was the total largely swcled by a sudden
outbreak of contagious or infectious diseases
The deaths assigned to such maades numbered
only so. The city was extraordinarily I'M
healthy, and there is no escape from the con-
clusion that its filthy condition was the chief
agent in making it so.
For this unusual and needless slaughter the
Tammany administration is directly and mainly
responsible With huge appropriation at its
disposal since the beginning of the year, and
with all desirable facilities at its command for
weeks past, Mayor Gilroy and subordinates of
his have permitted the atmosphere to be con-
tinually and progressively poisoned by cmana-
tons from the streets which they have refused
to clean. They have been faithfully warned
and urgently entreated to prevent the calamity
which has come upon the city. The Mayor has
confessed in private that the condition of the
streets was dreadful, and has acknowledged
that Commissioner Brennan was totally unfit
for his work. lie will not deny these state
ments, or II he does those to whom he has

Commissioner Brennan was brought 10 book
yesterday in manner that made him decidedly
uncomfortable. The charges laid before the
Mayor by the City Club and various other or
CARNATIONS that have the best interests OF the

spok csman Mr.. Joseph II. Choatc. Mayor

imp, rtance to methods of procedure. etc, which
seemed t. indicate a desire 70 make haste slow

A decision upon novel question was rem
dered by the Supreme Court ycsterday-the
question whether person extradited from one
of our States to another can be tried for any
other offence than the one on which his extra
dftion was secured. The court holds that no
such exemption is provided for by the Consti
tuition or laws of the United States. The de-
cision is worthy of special note as being the
first opinion written by the newest member of
the court, Justice Jackson, Democrat from
Tennessee, and because OF its strong anti
State-sovereignty bearings.
Tariff Reform" came oonspicuously to the
front in the appointments made yesterday.
Three Of the men selected for important posts
in the Treasury Department arc said to be
devotees of the policy exploited in the famous
message of 1887, and is not known that they
have any special familiarity with financial mat
tiers. Each of the three is young lawyer, and
one of them has been prominently identified
with Anti Snappery in this State. The contrast
between these appointments and those of men
who have had more or less extended expert
cnce in the Treasury Department is noticeable.
The more we learn about the willingness of
certain capitalists to take up the underground
npid- transit franchise the more probable it be.
