Consumption a Preyentable
Disease.

New York's Board of Health
agrees with that of Philadelphia in
saying that consumption is an ab-
solutely preventable disease and
it can. be stamped out by the
efficient enforcement of simple,
we'll understood and easily applied
measures of cleanliness, disinfec-
ton and isolation. The New York
board estimates that 5000 persons
died from consumption in that city
last year, and that there are now
90, 900 cases among the citizens, OF
whom from thirty to fifty are in
fected daily. After declaring in
the most positive terms that the
malady can be almost exterminated,
the board recommends that it be
officially declared communicable
disease; that institutions admitting
cases of it be subject to regular in
spection, and that Accommodations
be secured at once for pool
patients. 1t seems that boards Of
health all over the world are be
ginning to move in this important
matter. Democrat.

Framing the New Tariff.

The Republican members of the
ways and means committee are
showing a commendable activity
and intelligence in dealing with
the questions of forth coming
tariff changes. Hearings were
started early in the session for
representatives of the leading bust
ness interests, and, these being
ended, the actual work of framing
the bill has begun. Apparently it
is the determination of the COM
mittee to have the bill in shape for
presentation to the next House by
the end of present Congress, and
as this date is seven weeks off
probably the work will be finished
by that time.
A new departure is made here
in the course Of procedure in tariff
framing, but as speed is an i'm
portant requirement in this case
the innovation. is justitiable. AS
all the Republican members of the
present ways and means committee
have been reelected, and as, pre-
sumably, all of them will be on
the new committee, the latter body
will of course, make no objections
to ''usurpation of prerogative' by
the present one. The bill ought to
be ready for submission to the en-
tire committee as soon as it is form
ed at the beginning of the extra
session. Thus the House can make
an early start on the bill, push it
as rapidly as is consistent with in
telligent deliberation, and give it to
the Senate soon, SO as to keep that
body from passing or discussing
silver measures.
The speed requirement is dictat-
ed by the necessities of business
