Mr.. HeWitts Opinion OF mr.. GEORGE
In an interview, published in Mondays
New York World ex-Mayor Hewitt,
speaking of Henry George, one of the can
didates for mayor. said: II would say that
he is sane on many questions and insane
on others" If what Mr.. Hewitt says is
true Mr.. George ought to be examined by
a commission Of physicians to find out
whether he should be sent to the insane
asylum rather than be permitted to contin-
ue as a candidate for mayor of Greater
New York. It would be a pretty state Of
affairs if the people of Greater New York
should elect as their first mayor a man
of unsound mind.
Mr. Hewitt says he is not unfriendly to
Mr.. George. on the contrary, he has for
him the most kindly feeling. He knows
him thoroughly, however, Mr.. George
having been his secretary in preparing an
important report for submission to con-
gress.
There Is no doubt that Mr.. George, while
thoroughly honest In the views he holds
in respect to certain matters, is extremely
radical II is a question whether these
views OF MS, II dQOpIeus WOulu not De
productive of revolution and lead ultimate
ly to the destruction of society; and yet,
some very good men are supporting Mr..
George and urging his election. He has
not changed his views in any important
respect since he ran for mayor ten years
ago. Democrats Of prominence did not
favor his election then; why are prominent
democrats giving him a hearty support
now? He is not the regular democratic
candidate for mayor. That position is
held by Judge Van Wyck. How is It then
that democratic national committeeman
have expressed themselves in favor of Mr.
George? There must be some strong rea-
son why they favor a man, who, Mr..
Hewitt says, Is insane on some subjects
and who Is not the regular democratic can
didate? Is it because they consider Mr..
George a 10 to l silver man, notwithstand-
ing the fact that he says he is not, but that
he is a fiat paper money man? There is
food for reflection in this question.

Sanitation ana Fever.

The best protector against yellow fever
is cleanliness. Provide city with Wei
paved streets. good house and storm drain
age and drain well the adjacent lands and
the danger from the fever Is greatly less
ened. The fever may be brought to such
a city, but the probabilities are that it
VIII not spread. Yellow fever is generally
preceded by maIariaI fever. and the latter
fever results from bad sanitary conditions.
This year the people Of southern cities
cities on or near the cosst-have a warn
ing they cannot afford 70 neglect. They
must put their cities IN a good sanitary
condition. They must insist upon their
municipal and county authorities doing
this. The neglect to do all that can be
done to provide protection against the
fever before the coming Of another hot
season would be criminal.
That good drainage and cleanliness are
powerful factors in warding of disease
is shown by the fact that Boston, New
York and Philadelphia. which were visited
by terrible yellow fever epldemics when
their streets were not paved and they de
pended almost wholly on the vault system
are not afflicted with yellow fever now.
They have good guarantees. of course, but
quarantine would not be an absolute bar
rier to the disease.
What we want in this city is better san
Hary conditions. We have had immunity
from yellow fever for 50 long that We have
become careless. The fever on the Gulf
coast this year is a warning that, if we
are wise, We will heed. We must have
house drainage. Thousands Of our houses
have no connection with sewers. The
vaults upon which they depend are a
constant menace to health.
House drainage Is not the only thing we
want We want the adjacent lands drain
ed. They are only partly drained now. In
their present condition they are a prolific
source of malarial fever, and as We have
already shown, that fever precedes yellow
fever.
There is plenty Of time for draining the
adjacent lands before the coming Of the
next hot season. The county has large
convict force which should be put on this
drainage work at once, and kept there IN
the warning we have, to neglect this
drainage work for road building and for
the Improvement Of swamps on the far
away Ogeechee would be to deny that
sanitation Is Of any benefit in the pros
ecutlon Of the health of a community.
One thing is certain: it is that If the
next hot season comes without the nearby
de- RI
drained, and sickness Of a serious charae-
ter should visit us. the people, VINO appear
to be so apathetic now in respect to this
drainage matter. would condemn those re-
sponsible for the neglect, and their con-
demnation would be severe, because it
would be based upon the threatened loss
of life and property.

1t is reported that President Mckinley

arbitration treaty with Great Britain. In
the new treaty 1t is understood, some
Sigh concession is to be made to the pride
of the Senate. 1t will be remembered that
the Cleveland treaty failed. nominally be-
cause the Senate had not a place in the
picture of sufficient Importance to meet
with the approval Of some of the senator's.
AS matter of fact, personal dislike of
Mr.. Cleveland killed the instrument-one
of the best state papers negotiated in the
history of the government. Now that Mr..
Cleveland is out of the way, it is believed
that by putting into the treaty just enough
Of harmless soothing syrup to please the
Senate, the agreement would be ratified

1t Is pleasing, for the sake of the school
children who are obliged to cross Dray-
ton street, to observe that that top dress
ing of shell and cinders, which always
made a river of horrid mud at each wet
spell, is gradually disappearing under the
influences of wagon wheels and washing
rains. The cobble stones are now showing
plentifully along the roadway, and by ex-
ercising great care and considerable skill
one may cross the street, by jumping from
stone to stone, without miring to the shoe
uppers. The cobblestone surface is full
of hills and holes, and about as rough as
could well be imagined, but it is better
than the mud.

A circular letter sent out from Nashville
gives notice that "School-book Congress,
inter-southern states" will be held in that
city, at the exposition, beginning Oct. g.
Among the other objects of the proposed
congress-" says the circular will be a
full discussion of the school text book
question In all its phases, from kinder
garten to professional, looking to the ma
terial improvement of school books and
a reduction of cost" The meeting should
be a very good thing for the school book
publishers, and the school book trust in
particular The publishers do not care
how many changes are made in text
books. On the other hand, the more
changes there are, the better they like
it, for very obvious reasons. Only a few
weeks ago the school authorities of a Ger,
tain southern state wrote to the school
book trust and asked If the trust would
not kindly put certain history upon its
lists. After holding the matter in abey-
ance for an appropriate length of time to
impress the state authorities with the i'm
mensity of the favor asked, the trust re-
piled patronizingly that it had no objec-
tions TO publishing another book for the
state TO buy. These were not the words
used, of course. but that is what was
meant

The registration Of voters in New York
indicates how intense is the interest felt
in the approaching municipal election, the
first in the consolidated city. Last year
the presidential election aroused the vot-
ers to a considerable degree, and there
was an exceptionally full registration. In
ten big republican districts on Manhattan
Island the registration of this year is only
sixty-four voters short of the registration
of last year. The total registration shows
56s, 56S names, and it is believed that 500
600 votes will be poIled.

other stipulation either as regards text

The glucose trust is one of the latest
organized of the great octopi of trade but
it is not at ali backward. Indeed, it is a
very. precocious youngster. grasping bold
ly where other and older of it's species
would be apt to proceed slowly and care
fully. An illustration is afforded in the
following circular, which the Philadelphia
Record says the glucose trust has sent
broadcast to millers, grocers. and others:
Gentlemen: We to-day mail you a sam
pie of corn starch which we would like
you to examine closely. We have made
many experiments, and find that about 10
per cent. can be substituted for flour, to
its benefit. We Will be pleased to quote
prices and terms, your station, on hearing
from YOU
The suggestion is plain. The trust in
vites grocers and dealers to perpetrate a
fraud upon their customers, for its bene-
fit. The corn starch can be sold by the
trust for less than the price of wheat
-four, hence the trust hopes to work upon
the cupidlty of its prospective customers
by offering them a way to make an in
creased profit on their flour sales Accord
ing to the trust, about twenty pounds of
corn starch can be added to a barrel of
flour, without the ordinary consumer de-
tectng the adulteration. What the eff
feet would be upon the food value of the
compound we are not prepared to venture
an opinion, though the Philadelphia Rec
ord asserts that it would not be so whole
some. Corn starch is an article of food
largely used, and 1t may be that the ad-
dition of small percentage of it to the
-four would not be injurious. Stn, when
the consumer purchases wheat flour, wheat
-four is wanted, and not corn starch, or an
adulterated article. Nobody wants to
buy corn starch at flour prices. when it
can be had cheaper under it's own name
