In New York city, meteorological examin-
atoms conducted by the board of health
have shown that large number of cheeses
placed ON the market for sale were affected
with the baciln of diphtheria and contained
q sufficient quantity OF infection to destroy
human life. Had the cheeses been sold by
retail il is, say the scientists, certain that
many cases of dipththeria would have re-
suited. Washington may profit by the ex-
ample set in such incidents as this In this
city there is room for improvement in the
methods by which the public health may be
protected. Hitherto this important work
has for various reasons received much less
OF attention than it deserves. The city and
Its needs have grown marvelously during
the past twenty years: the health depart
ment must keep Up with the rest of the
procession.

Science accomplishes many wonderful
things, but some of the tasks set il are be-
yond its power. A year or so ago an appli-
cant for life-insurance was examined by one
OF the compiny's surgeons. who, in the
blank left for Identifying marks" wrote:
This man would be recognized anywhere
by bis voice. which is phenomenally deep
and strong month or so ago-the in
su-ed man having been missing for some
days previous-a body was found in the
river which flows past that particular doc
tors door. and the wife of him whose voice
was phenomen1lly deep and strong as
serted most positively that the disfigured
remains were undoubtedly those OF her hus-
band. but others Who had known him were
less sure than she. The insurance company.
very properly. insisted upon complete identI-
hcatton. but II could not compel the produc-
tion of the only Identification noted in the
examination return. Even a carefully-con-
Quoted autopsy failed to reveal the voice
which so impressed the surgeon. But the
next time an examiner calls anything so
evanescent as voice an identifying
mark" the document will surely be re-
turned

The superiority of the woman's eye and
the woman's hand in maintaining cIeanli-
ness and order in the household over the
masculine eye and hand in the same sphere
IS universally conceded. There Is no uues-
ton as to the marked difference in the quail
ity of mans housekeeping and louise
keeping as cOnducted by. woman The
suggestion has been m2de-prompted no
doubt b. this coEsidera;ion-tSat women
be placed in charge Of public buildings to
the extent of supervising the daily sweep
ing and cleaning. which. in many govern
plent structures Is now sweeping and clean
ing merely IN name. IT Is hardly neces-
sary TO say that If the proposel change is
made our public buildings would be much
more wholesome than they now are. But
unfortunately. a great obstacle prevents
the forward movement OF such reform
Appointments to positions on the labor
rolls are, as a rule, governed entirely by
political considerations; men are given
places not because they can handle the
mop and use the broom or have any desire
OF intention to do so, but because they have
been useful in politics and have aided some
so-called statesmen to achieve temporary

eniinence Such appointees generally have
SUFFICIENT influence to compel retention even
wren they shirk their work or, as many
OF them have, refuse 70 do 1t at all. The
result OF this system, or lack of system, is
seen In the condition of the great majority
OF public buildings not only in this city but
elsewhere. The rooms and corridors are
not clean and no one seriously attempts
to say that they are. The atmosphere Is
tainted with the accumulated filth Of the
floors and the walls, and those who spend
their working days amid such surroundings
give physical testimony as to the damage
wrought by unsanitsry conditions. AS wo-
men are not political factors they are not
likely to be given positions which are re-
garded as rewards for political energy, but
II the heads of departments could only be
brought to realize how much their own
comfort and well being-to say nothing Of
the comfort and well-being of their subor-
dinates-depended upon clean rooms and
Railways. they would cease to permit politi-
cal considerations to interfere with their
administration and would appoint women
as superintendents. Such appointments
could not be regarded as in any sense ex-
perimental; from the start they would be
successes.

senator Voorhees, Disguised.

Washington Cor. Baltimore Sun.
1t Is now known that Nh. Voorhees, avoided
the Senate chamber while the tariff debate
was in progress because he feared his hon
est impetuous nature would make him rise
in his seat and denOunce as II deserved the
Infamous bargain and sale which was being
carried OH. But this did rot prevent him
from expressing i'm private his disgust and
contempt for the whole miserable business
and for those VINO are responsible for 1t. 1t
would be interesting and instructive if the
burning words of scorn and denunciation
which he upon one occasion hurled at the
senior Senator from Maryland could be
reproduced verbatim. They were such as
would almost make the ears of wooden
man tingle. Had the Indiana Senator
yielded to his own inclinations he would not
have kept away from the Senate chamber,
but he deferred to others who appealed to
him to make the sacrifice for the party's
sake. But at last his tongue has refused to
be longer tied. 1t is not likely that the
whole of the inside history of this tariff
Intrigue will ever be revealed. But interest
ing portions Of it are bound to come out bit
by bit. Enough will be disclosed to show a
slillfully cOntrived piece of devilish machi-
nations with foundations reaching into the
very depths of villainy.

II has been announced that the Civil

Of this and similar organizations cannot
be too thorough to please those who hate

government employees were practically rob-

victims were entirely without recourse. Now
there Is on the statute books a law which
should and can give those who draw sala-
ries from Uncle Sam all the protection they
need The law should and doubtless will
be given fair opportunity to make plain its
usefulness. 1t matters not whether those
who violate its healthful provisions are
democrats or republicans. OF populists or
prohibitionists; the guilty should be brought

quent upon effort to prosecute the respon-

apparently are extremely small. But the

Commission had never accomplished any,
thing else than the salvation of those whose

upon by ;he agents Of dollar-sqeezing clubs
and associations. whose existence made 1t
impossible for fair-minded citizens to COM
ment with any degree of warmth upon the
practices of highwaymen and alley thugs,
II would have done enough to justify the
expenditure Of a million times the amount
