Pure Water Versus Malaria.

AS general rule, all waters coming
directly, or, rather, indirectly from near
the surface of the ground, must be
avoided. Recourse must be had either
to deep weels or the drinking water
must be boiled. The experience of the
town Of Hawkinsville, Ga, will we'll
illustrate this point. This thrifty little
manufacturing city was located unfor-
tunately in malarial section. AL
though the disease was not at all Sc
we're, malaria was so common that it's
inhabitants got into the habit of ex-
pecting to have few chilIs every fall
as a matter of course. The water used
until recent years was drawn from
shallow wells, which undoubtedly re-
ceived the surface drainage of the
country. In order to get a larger
supply of water one of the cotton fac
tories put down an artesian we'll The
autumn following the people who had
used this water exclusively during the
season We're gratified to find that they
had escaped from the expected chills
The result was that a sufficient num-
Der of artesian wells were sunk to sun
ply the entire town. and the place has
been free from malaria ever since.
Another very striking illustration was
found in the Brazos bottom of Texas
which was long known as such a ma
larial country that a white man could
not risk living there during the later
summer and fall. During a recent WIS.,

The "Anzeiger des Westens,' st. Lou

Even if the United States were to
recognize the Cubans not only as bel
ligerents, but as an Independent peo-
pie, and were to assist in driving the
very doubtful that peace would be re-
stored. For generations the history of
all Spanish-American republics has
been a record of uninterrupted civil
war; of changes from anarchy to mill
tary dictatorship, of revolution and
counter revolution. What right have
we to expect that Cuba would be diff
ferent in this respect?
That is not the question. We meet
difficulties as they arise. The only
question before US is that of right act
ion now IF the Cubans gain their in
dependence and then turn about to cut
one another's throat, it will be time
enough to forbid the butchery as hu-
manity and the laws of civilized war
fare command. To say that we will
sit quietly by and not enter protest
backed by evident intention to enforce
it, against the present barbarity, be-
cause we fear that possibly, in some
future and distant day another insur-
rection may arise in Cuba, would be to

NO FEAR FROM THAT QUARTER.
A San Francisco weekly journal de-
votes two columns to proving to its
satisfaction that annexation Of Hawaii
viii split the Republican party into
two factions. This is the way it reaches
this conclusion: The Chinese immigra-
ton question or restrictive policy Is
now settled, settled for all time. All
the great parties of the nation are
committed to that settlement, and the
unhappy friction the matter once
caused has disappeared. To admit Ha-
wan viii give liberty to the several
Thousand Chinese on the islands to
come over to the continent. This Will
give the anti-Chinese politicians oppor-
tunity to open fire on the Republican
party, whose head promoted the scheme
that SO resulted, and the party VIII
be rent in consequence, since if HaWall
is admitted we cannot lawfully prohibit
the Chinese on the islands from passing
into or through any State or Territory
Of the Union The answer to all that
is very simple. The legality of imml-
grafton depends upon the law making
power of the United States. 1t has au-
thority to say, as it will. that these
Chinese shall not come to the continent.
There is no power under the sun to pre-
vent such legislation. That it is con-
templated is obvious from the provision
in the treaty already negotiated, that
the Chineseand Japanese shall not come
from the islands into the States and
Territories.
When we acquired California from
Mexico we accepted the resident MeXl-
cans as citizens of the United States.
But that very acceptance presupposed
the power to have required them to re-
main aliens, nay, to have left the coun-
try if we had seen fit to be harsh. The
alien has no natural right to become
a resident or a citizen of this Repub-
lie. The doctrine of the right to come
in, or to remain, being in, has been
abandoned by this Government, and
he who is admitted how comes in by
concession, by privilege, by special
grant, and always with conditions at
tached.
The right to restrict immigration IS
an established policy of the nation, and
it is being more and more stiffened
by legislation from year to year. The
Chinese in Hawaii are not prolific.
Very few are married, and the family
is the exception. If the door of ad-
mission should be opened it would be
to a few Chinese who in the course OF
a. very few years would disappear inthe
natural order. So that however looked
ait the objection to the annexation
treaty because of Chinese and Japanese,
even conceding that these two classes
in Hawaii should desire to leave the
islands for California, which is doubt
full, is not one to excite fear of the
in-rolling of an Asiatic wave, and as
by no means a menace to the unity of
the Republican party.
