The Typhoid Fever situation.

While the statements of Health Officer
Woodward in relation to the prevalence of
typhoid fever in the District, published yes
terday in The Star. tend in a measure to
subdue the popular excitement caused by
the reports that there are at least a thou
sand cases of the disease now in progress,
there is reason to fear that certain condi-
tons are ere prevalent this year that cause
an unusual increase in the number of cases
and consequently the number Of deaths
from the disease. 1t may be that many of
the six hundred cases that are now esti-
mated as being the total number in the Dis
trict have been imported, that Is to say, as
has already been pointed out in The Star,
1t Is quite possible that the disease Is in
Cured by summer travellers while away
from home and that 1t develops after their
return to this city. This, of course, can
only be demonstrated by the most careful
investigation into the whereabouts of each
patient for many weeks prior to the time of
inquiry, and the cost Of such a census might
be too large to be undertaken at this time.
But if 1t should be proved that the fault is
not here the expenditure would be we'll
warranted, just as 1t would be an economi-
cal item In the end il 1t should be found that
the cause of the disease is local. In the for
mer case much of the fear that unfortunate
ly now prevails In the city would be allayed.
In the latter event there would be good
grounds obtained for a campaign against the
disease germ which must be traced to its
source before 1t can be eradicated. The
health officer dispels a popular illusion
when he declares that insanitary drainage
is not primarily the cause of typhoid. al
though it may be a contributing agent by so
facilitating the system to render it sus-
ceptible to the influence of the typhoid bacil-
lus, which must be taken into the stomach
in the form of food or drink His recon-
mendation that the entire water supply of
the city should be filtered before use de-
mands attention by the national legislators
and 1T is imperative that this suggestion,
coming from so high a source and coupled
with such an undeniably serious situation as
exists today, should receive immediate con-
sideration by the committees on the District
of Columbia and appropriations of both
houses when those bodies shall undertake
anew the work of caring for the interests
of the people of the national capital. 1t is
to be expected that in such a matter as this,
affecting the health of residents in the Dis
trict, congressman will be particularly In
clined to make appropriations for improv-
ing the sanitary conditions of the city. mas
much as they spend greater part of their
time in Washington and are exposed to quite
the same dangers that confront the regu-
lar resident.
The present emergency is not yet, however,
of such character as to warrant the spread
of alarm among the people. for typhoid is
. rot contagious disease in the stricter
sense of that term, which limits the spread
of an ailment to the direct influence of COM
munication with diseased person. 1t Is
more properly an infectious fever coming

to an agreement with the arbitrator who
were delegated to meet him, but he finally
consented to stand upon the really broad
Sunday plank that has been accepted by all
the factions. The ticket appears to be en-
tirely respectable and the excise utterances
of the combined forces are to the purpose.
They declare for the sanctity Of the Sab
bath and insist II at there must be no legis-
lation which will impair the quiet Of the
day or interfere with the observances of
those who hold the day sacred. On the
other hand, they suggest that there are
questions as to what is a necessary and
proper limitation, and whether, If it is
proper to sell liquor on Sunday, 1t may not
be right for other persons who carry on
business for the sale of those things which
are necessary for the support of life, or
even it's reasonable comforts, to have equal
privileges with the saloon keepers for Sun
day trade. The alliance resolutions there
fore simply suggest legislation which will
meet these questions equitably and which
shall not be adopted until it has been APP
proved by local option referendum to the
people of the larger cities.
Two anti-Tammany organizations-tae
Steckler and the O'Brien democrats-are
left out of the program. They are COM
posed Of dissatisfied spoilsmen whose
strength is inconsiderable and whose inf1u-
ence is undesirable. Shrewd prophets de-
clare that this combination means a sec
ord defeat for Tammany Hall, followed by
a wholesome revival of that institution and
a reorganization on a respectable plan. AT
all events the fusion Is step towards a
breaking down of strict party lines, which
so often stand in the way Of the best eff
forts of genuine reformers. A complete
abandonment of partisan politics in city
government Is less of an Illusion now that
the decent voters of the greatest city of the
country are pledged to stand together to
ballot for purity in municipal affairs.

apparently deeply interested congrga-
tions. The reverend gentleman is a
strong preacher and his style is at
once forcible and attractive. AS Sam
Jones would say he is very much in
love with his calling, and evidently
breaches because he believes In preach
ing, and Is wholly and sonlly absorbed
In the great work Of bringing men and
women TO Christ. An unusual num-

An advertisement with something
striking in it will always attract wide
spread attention. The following are a
couple OF cases to tie point: A large
Brooklyn retail house advertised in q
daily paner OF that city that they would
offer for sale on q certain IN 1rning a
quantity OF kid gloves at CD cents per
pair which they valred at $i.l5. Through
an error the advertisement was made TO
read 10 cents instead Of 60 een's, This
brought an immense throng OF buyers to
their doors long before the store was
opened. The sellers made every effort
to explain the mistake, but tbs crowd
refused 10 listen 10 explanations, accused
them OF unfair methods, and 80 persist
ent were the purchasers that finally The
retailers were forced to Jet them go at 10
cents As there were 5000 dozens Of
these goods yop can zee how large loss
resulted.
A Boston hor sc along in :he fsll OF 1893
advertised certain kind of flowers at so
much per pot. II should have read so
much per blossom But the people
would not hear to explanations and they
were Obliged TO let them go as adyertis-
ed. Before nom tbe entire stock was
exhausted and the sellers, OF course,
were out OF pocket.
