TYPHOID dND YELLOW JACK

The English town of Maidstone, in the county of Kent, has an cpl demic of typhoid fever which out, classes in point Of infection that which Yellow Jack is trying to fix on certain towns to the south of us. There have been BOO cases Of the fever at Maidstone, with a death rate Of 3 per cent and a daily in crease of 120 cases. If the disease continues to spread at this rate 1t will have the whole town in bed within q week
 The yellow fever record this year indicates that the disease in its present state is not to be feared SO much as typhoid. It is not on. y very mild, but spreads very slowly. Except in the little towns 1t has not reached the proportions of an cpl domie. At Biloxi there have been up to the close Of yesterdays report 192 cases aad | deaths; at Mobile, 81 cases and F deaths; at Edwards, 2s4 cases and 9 deaths; at New Orleans, 159 eases and 30 deaths. The figures for Ocean Springs are not at hand, but they show about the same results as the Biloxi report.
 The death rate at Biloxi, Edwards and Ocean Springs has been about 3 per cent, at New Orieanes, II per cent. at Mobile, II per cent.
 It will be observed that the two notoriousIy dirty cities have the heavier percentage of mortality. Perhaps well-sewered aud we'll kept city in which this fever should find lodgment, would have death rate not exceeding , per cent, and possibly as low as ? per cent But the fever would not be at all likely to spread in such q city; almost cer- tainly. 1t would not reach the pre- portions of an epidemic.
 No clean and severed city has ever had an epidemic of yellow fever. Only dirt localities are liable, and the dirtier they are the more fatal the fever, other conditions being equal
 So Tar the yellow fever of this year has not been nearly so fatal as typhoid or malarial levers, as we have them in this country Mem- phis Seimitar

DISGRACE abroad and disaster at home is the way the Liberal lead CTS characterize Lord Salisbury's rule in England. And the Liberal leaders are right. The Salisbury government has been one of bIuster and retreat. Lord Salisbury started out to defend Greece and force autonomy for Crete in the Torko- Grecian complications, but Germa- ny forced Linn to yield and Greece was compelled to accept the condi- tions of Turkey and Germany. Lord Salisbury is great in pretentions, but small in acts.
