Home Sanitation.
progress,

The sanitary arrangements on most
the correspondents to Secretary Nc
Keen's latest bulletin. the subject of
which is Home Sanitation" 1t is not
necessary to unqualifiedly endorse
that statement, however true it may
be, in order to demonstrate the need
of just such consideration of this i'm
portant subject as Secretary McKeen
has begun in this latest bulletin. There
can be no question but that the sani
tary arrangements about the ordinary
farm buildings are not what they
should be and that this is true in much
greater degree of farm buildings than
of city buildings. Not a little of the
sickness in the country is due to this
greater may be attributed to the
healthful occupations of the people
living and working upon farms. Nor
is the interest in this condition of
affairs confined to the country people
themselves. Typhoid germs are COM
municated to. the consumers of milk
through allowing cows to drink of con-
taminated water and in other ways
the dangers of unsanitary conditions
about the buildings of the farmer are
by no means confined to that locality.
1t would. of course, be unjust to ar
que that the country people are less
capable of appreciating the need or
less DESTROYS of proper sanitation than
are those living in the thickly settled
districts. Among the latter one per-
sons neglect to provide proper sani-
tary arrangements renders offense to
his neighbor close by and thus one is
watchful over the other and better SUI
pervision results. When. however, we
consider the tendency of the people in
cities to be satisfied if only the filth
and sewage is. kept out of sight,
though left in a condition that is posi-
lively dangerous it is not in the least
surprising that in the farming COM
munities, where the houses are not
near together and other demands upon
the attention and energy of the people

Features Of the Business Revival.

1t ought to be apparent to the dullest
intellect capable Of observing the
changes in business conditions since
the election, that therein is found all
the proof which could be desired that
the Bryan campaign paralyzed bust
ness and had in it the elements which
would surely have been productive of
the succeeding disaster in business cir
cles predicted by the opposition.
Moreover it seems equally apparent
that the revival following so immedi-
ately upon the result of the election
does not contain any reasonable basis
to hope that the existing tariff law will
be adequate from revenue stand
point and nothing to disprove the be-
lief that the full measure of prosperity
cannot come under it.
A presidential campaign usually
causes more or less depression in bust
ness, but never heretofore has there
been such complete paralysis Incl
dent to campaign as has existed the
past six months. There never was
reason to suppose that the many or
ders for manufactured products and
plans for future enterprises were made
contingent upon the election of Mr..
mckinley merely for political effect.
NO well informed person could suspect
mat Tor the number of these instances
was SO large and the individuals con-
cernea OF different political faiths.
So'u' matter-of-fact business logic
o'ctated these qualifications. The
same dictates the resumption of bust

The United States and Spain.

There has been but little doubt since
the beginning of the Cuban insurrec-
ton. that a deep seated feeling of hos
tility towards the United States has
existed in Spain. This feeling has ap-
parently, became more and more in
tensified as the Spanish chances of
success in Cuba have gradually dimin-
ished. The Spanish government has been
wise enough to hold this hostile senti-
ment of the Spanish people in check,
and to prevent it from taking form in
any overt act of unfriendliness to-
wards the United States. On the other
hand the United States government.
Notwithstanding the fact that the peo-
pie of this country almost without ex-
ception. and without regard to their
party affiliations, sympathize strongly
with the Cuban insurgents, has thus
far exercised the greatest care to
maintain a strict neutrality. While
the Spanish blockade about the island
of Cuba has captured but one filibus-
Etering expedition the United States
government has arrested no less than
six. 1t would certainly seem as if
Spain should not be unappreciative of
this; but such is the fact Reason is
not a prominent trait of Spanish char
acter. Not only do the Spanish people
hold that the United States is wholly
responsible for the Cuban rebellion.

government has been to apprehend ex-
petitions in aid of the insurgents. In

when there was a revival Of business
that would probably have continued
but for the menace which demoralized
it.
Along with this business revival may
also be noted determination on the
part of those participating in 1t, to re-
sent any further interference, such as
the free silver trust is endeavoring to
keep up. This sentiment was respon-
sible for the remark made by
Tennessee Popocrat after election. who
had been induced to vote for Bryan
and Taylor against what appeared to
be his better judgment. The remark
referred to was in effect that he had
almost hoped Tennessee would go Re-
publican for If it did Northern capital
lists would have greater courage to in
vest in that locality. believing that the
people were determined to have honest
elections. The same sentiment
prompted the Augusta Chronicle. one
of the staunchest supporters of Bryan
to declare a few days ago:
We do not think that continued and
continuous agitation of the issue is
wise at this time, or necessary to its
preservation. The question has been
plainly put before the people. In gen
eral terms they understood the issue.
They voted to continue the trial of the
gold standard. We accept their YER
dict, and say give il the fullest and
fairest trial For the present, we be-
lieve it to the part of wisdom to dis
continue the financial discussion, and
turn attention to material development
and the encouragement of commercial
prosperity
The Commercial Appeal of Memphis,
supported Bryan without faltering. but
now in reply to the proposition OF the
silver trust figureheads to keep up the
agitation. says:
THE only reply to such a PROPOSE
ton is: Rats with a prolonged and
laundering accent on the sonant frica-
tive The country has had enough
financial agitation. and what is needed
now is peace and an opportunity to

other professional agitators must so

Better times are demanded, the way
has been pointed out and decided upon
and the shortest method of acquiring
unpopularity is to trig the wheels of
progress.
