Water as a Vehicle of Typhoid.

In recent article from the Herald's
European edition, which We reprinted,
some striking proofs were given that
"water is the chiefif not the only vehicle
OF the typhoid germ" About this there
can be but little dispute 1t is possible
that typhoid-infected matter may be
sometimes dried, blown About in dust
and thus be breathed and swallowed.
But no instance OF the propagation OF the
disease in this way is on record Humer-
GUS epidemics OF enteric fever have, how
ever, been clearly and unmistakably
traced to the pollution Of the water-sup-
ply In given locality.
For this reason too much caution can
not be enjoined upon the authorities Of
every town and city 10 sec that the
drinking water is not polluted. In rural
districts the utmost care should be taken
TO preserve wells aud springs from con-
tamination. Where there Is any doubt
about purity OF the water II should be
boiled beio'e II Is used.-New York

There is another name that is house
hold word, name coupled with a
matched cottage in Stapleton, for Han
nah More was born in Stapleton in 1745.
1t was for her to write wonderful
book calle Village Politics which
found its way to hall and cottage, to
castle and to hut, and the high and the
lowly were loud in its praise. The Bish-
op of London said OF it: 81 look upon
Mr. Chip, (Will Chip being the name
under which Miss More disguised her
personality as one of the finest writers OF
the age, and what is better | trust it will

tinui to write and to WELD an influence
for many years until at last she followed
her four sisters to the blest land beyond.
Shall we not hope that in this age OF
the world, when woman is not restricted
by circumstances, but almost any career
is open to the woman of intellectual
strength, that you, the class Of '94 may
lift yourselves upon the wings OF your
intelligence, that the progress OF your
fight may be followed by those beneath
you, and that they may be encouraged
to go forward with new heart.

is over at least in our own land. Yet
we see what the church, be it protestant
or Roman Catholic has done, in all ages,
where she has had power. The road,
from the day of Christ's coming almost
down to the present is st'ewn with the
bleaching bones of the followers Of Jesus.
What has been may be again. 1t is not
probable that you will be called upon to
undergo suffering or death for your
master, as did Annie Askew, when the
Bishop was sent to urge her recant and to
to accept the teachings of his church as
to the real body and blood OF Christ.
She said, 81 believe so much thereof as

was subjected to tortu e, almost tearing

Look After the Drainage.

Inspector Desvergers of the Citizens
Sanitary Association, in his report, pub
lishen in the MORNING News yesterday,
of the condition of the drainage in and
about the city, calls attention to the lack
Of proper drainage on private property on
hutchinson island and on lands owned by
the Savannah, Florida and Western rail
way and by the Central railroad There
has been an unusual amount of rain within
the last month, and on all the undrained
lands close to the city there are pools and
ponds of water If there should be long
hot, dry spell of weather after the
rains cease these ponds and pools would,
in all probability, produce sickness. 1t is
a source of satisfaction that the inspector
reports that the lands under the control
of the city are pretty we'll drained, and
that their condition is not such as TO
cause apprehension.
The lands of which the city has no con-
troll should also be drained If there is
no authority lodged anywhere to compel
their owners to drain them, and thus pre-.
vent them from being a menace to the
city's health, authority should be sought
lAOLA Jlb legislature 4NO ONuBT Vi ldQuS
and no railroad company should be per-
mitted to endanger the city's health by
refusing or neglecting to keep their lands
in good sanitary condition.
1t is remarkable that either of the rail
roads should neglect to properly drain its
lands. The railroad companies are as
much interested as any citizen can
possibly be in having the city healthy
Indeed much of the business of the rail
roads is dependent upon the health of the
city. 1t is therefore a short sighted policy
on their part to refuse to spend few
dollars in draining the land included in
their terminals. In no other way could
they spend little money to better ad-
vantage than in thoroughly draining the
lands contiguous to their depots, freight
yards and wharves.

Cause Of the onnoaition.

The truth is, the fight that Senators
German Smith and few other senator's
are making to keep a duty on coal and
iron ore is not in the interests of
the owners of coal and iron mines
and the coal and iron miners,
but in the interest Of the coal
carrying railroads of Maryland, New
Jersey and Pennsylvania The fight
against placing iron ore on the free list
Is only a blind. The whole fight is in
behalf of coal
The coal miners seldom make living
wages. Even the foreigners who are
mining coal say they can't live on the
wages they get. The consumers, how
ever, don't get cheaper coal because the
cost of mining it Is less. The greater part
of the profits on coal so to the coal carry
ing railroads. Big transportation rates
are necessary in order to enable the roads
TO pay the interest on their enormous
bonded Indebtedness.
Free coal means lower freight from
the mines to the seaboard 1t is not to
protect home industries, but to keep up
the freight rates that Senator's Smith
and German are fighting, and in what
they are doing they have the quiet but
effective support of the rich republican
senator's
