MORTALITY FOR 1909,

The annual health report of San Fran
cisco for the calendar year 1898 is very sat-
isfactOry. The total deaths from all causes
were 1919. decrease of 800 from 1892, the
death rate, on an estimated population of
100000, being trifle less than IS per 1000
The mortality for the four last fiscal years
was about the same as that of the calen-
dar year 1892. 1t may be observed that
the births recorded were 1927, showing
that the birth rate fell short of the death
rate; or, in other words, that there is no
natural increase of the population. and
that but for immigration the city would in
course of time be depopulated. But in
this, as in many other cases, the figures
are deceptive. 4 large proportion of the
actual births are never reported and reg.
istered. From 1877 to 1889 there was but
one Instance in which the birth rate
reached 1000. though the marriages aver
aged over $500 and the deaths over $500. 1t
is evident that many births were not re-
corded. So much is plain from the school
census. Beginning with 1891 the birth sta
tstics were collected with more thorough
ness. In 1882 The births registered num-
bered 40SS. which approximates to the
1927 reported for the last calendar wear.
But even these figures are probably below
the truth.
The chief causes of death in 1898 were
as usual phthss and pneumonia, which
account for 1929 OF the deaths. or about %
per cent of the whole. The usual proper
tion of these would probably be found to
be residents of other States, who came here
to die. under an erroneous belief that San

tives. The unusual severity OF these
diseases would seem to prompt thorough
study of diseases of the respiratory organs
in this city. An institution for the special
treatment of tuberculosis with a branch in
the dry regions sof the Sierra and jealous
specialists at its head would probably be
popular and useful. If. as some claim, we
are on the eve of finding a cure for con-
sumption, there is no reason why it should
not be made here as we'll as elsewhere.
A marked reduction is reported in the
mortality from filth diseases-typhod,
diphtheria and scarlatina. The depart
ment takes the credit OF the Improvement,
which it imputes to the framing and rigid
enforcement of practical sanitary meas
ures. 1t is TO be hoped that the health
officers are warranted in their assumption,
aud that the present and coming years will
exhibit similar decrease In Zymotic
diseases. A city situate like San Fran
cisco. with no undrained swamps. a fine
watershed on every side, and brisk winds
blowing almost uninterruptedly from the

malarious origin; and. in fact. experience

year IN which the generation of malarial
oaclili is less active than usual. 1t will be

SOMEWHAT UNCERTAIN.
The New York Herald now saws:

The New York Herald now says:
Nothing can so surely and effectively relieve
the prevailing business depression as prompt
action on the tariff bill
The Herald has defective memory.
Three months ago it said the same of the
silver repeal bill. 1t was the fear of too
much monAy that was running industries
three months ago, and now it is the need
Of foreign competition that is doing the
same thing. Mr. Cleveland has found the
Herald an unsafe counselor. 1t was the
HerGldS newspaper edition of Blounts
report that led the President astrav on the
Hawaiian question. The first letter of
the Herdld's correspondent, written before
he reached the islands, outlined a con-
dition Of things upon which Mr.. Cleveland
has acted. When Willis got to the islands
he saw at once that the President had
been deceived. and consequently delayed a
course of action which would have plunged
the Islands into civil war. 1T might be

Is 1T STRANGE?

We print the following paragraph in a
tariff-reform Eastern paper:
MIR. Chauncey NJ. Depew never goes abroad
without bringing back something new for the
Information of his countTymeu. When In
Europe he found that the hard lines prevail
ing there are generally attributed TO The Nc
Kinley tariff. On his return he finds that the
hard times at home are due to the threat to
repeal the Mckinley tariff. 1t is strange that
the same cause should produce such widely
different results.
The riddle is easily explained. Europe
is suffering from the effects of the Nc
Kinley tariff, the United States from an
apprehension that The Mckinley tariff will
be repealed. Should the apprehension be
verified the industries of European coun-
tries would revive and American indus
tries suffer correspondingly.

The JOURNAL last Tuesday stated that an
agent Of Bennett & Sons, Topeka, Kan,
was in the city the day previous, called
here BY letter from an inmate of the in
sane asylum, in regard to the purchase of
some blooded horses.
The particulars in the case are about a.
follows One r. Emery Of Belfast has
been m inmate Of the asylum for some two
years or more. He 10 allowed considerable
freedom, and, being quite "a artist, - we'll
~ quite horseman, has made many &C
quIntances.
He recently procured catalogue of
Bennett & Sons AMI wrote to the Arm that
he not only wanted to purchase two OF
three blooded animals but knew Of . friend
who also wanted to purchase. The letter
was, apparently, = straightforward, bust
ness-like document, and the firm at once
sent man on {, interview Mr.. Emery.
On arrival here he was unable to locate
the man. None knew of such citizen
and the dirs Glory made no mention Of that
name. Finally he was advised to try the
Insane asylum and he did 90, even then not
suspecting the truth. He went to the asy.
lum, asked for his man, and was toll that

It 10 understood that Emery still claims
