HEALTH AND COMFORT ~ NEW.YORK.

The present exceedingly uncomfortable and
oppressive summer has served 10 show. as moth
ing else could have shown. the vast contrast. in
respect Of health and comfort, between the New
York Of to-day and the NewYork Of the past
OF even two three years ago. The superior
cleanliness Of the city under the present admin
istration is at all times perceptible. hut never
so much so as in such hot and humid weather
as has prevailed here for the last four or five
weeks. few years ago such weather would
have made almost every street and square lit
orally rock with uncomfortable sienches. with
the rank etiluvlum of fermenting offal, and with
the plague laden quotations Of the sewers To-
day from Bronx 10 Battery. the streets
sweet and clean. No accumulated filth menaces
the health no loathsome smells assal the COM
fort Of residents or visitors. The stones may
reflect a furnace heat. but it is the heat of
clean furnace. The air may be humid to satura-
ton. but 1t is with the clean moisture Of the
skies
That however. is only The minor part Of il.
For the major part we must turn 70 the vital
statistics BY common consent. last month may
be reckOned one Of the most uncomfortable and.

the children who most make up the roll Of
deaths. and of enterc diseases. which are their
most fatal scourge in sultry weather. In July.
1872 their deaths from such causes numbered

number dropped TO LIS and in the phenom-

That is 10 say in July. 1895. the deaths Of
children from enieric diseose were less than
half as many az in July. 1872. although the pop

"Mr Rryan's work as an editor has been fin

its announcement that the Democratic candidate
for President has concluded 70 take his name
from the head of that paper which for two years
devoted itself TO advertising him, and which in
turn has been advertised by him since his NOM
ination.
For Mr. Bryans own sake this separation was
desirable AS a candidate for the Presidency
Mr. Bryan occupied position which gave i'm

Perhaps he can afford 10 be the beneficiary or
false statements made in his behalf. Nobody
can blame him directly if his supporters gain
votes by saying that the Constitution contains
things which IL does not contain or If they stir
up passions by printing as facts palpable and
ridiculous libes on their opponents. Mr.. Bryan
Is not Immediately responsible for foolish or dis
honest supporters and nobody thinks Of blaming
him for all the crazy things found in fanatical
publications which urge his election. But when
Mr. Bryan sat still while there came from The
press day after day statements vouched for by
