inconsistent with that fact. while, all

former theory. yet there are conditions
there and acknowledged to be duplicated
among certain other schools that lead to a
measure of suspicion that there may have
been some danger in the school surround
inss. The sewerage facilities are not what
they should be in this day and even at best
they must always be held as possible
agents for the creation of unwholesome
conditions. 1t does not suffice now to de-
clare that everything about the building is
clean and that there are no foul doors 10
be detected. The building has just been
cisinfected and any inspection based upon
present conditions does not fully meet the
case.
The suggestion that other schools in the
city are similarly equipped should arouse
official interest in this matter. Save in the
most distant suburbs the school buildings
should be supplied with the best of sani-
tary facilities. If no sewer runs to the
johnson School no time should be lost in
connecting that building with the nearest
trunk, which can not be more than block
distant. If there is no money at hand for
this purpose Congress should be appealed
to Immediately after the opening of the

there is promise now that business, and
business alone, shall characterize the ad-
ministration of affairs, and no plea Of find
ing the job exceedingly difficult will be ade-
quate to excuse a failure. The people un-
derstand that there are many difficulties in
the way. but they will expect them to be
Surmounted.
Judge Van Wyck will shortly take the
leins in New York, but his is to be an adj
ministrarion after the old order of things.
He Is very outspoken, and deserves credit
at least for that. He will officer the city,
so far as 1t may lie in his power, with
members of his own political party, and
that of course will lead to the distribution
OF other partisan favors. In a word, the
new administration is to be democratic,
after the Tammany order of things, in
every respect. Tammany men. Tammany
methods. Tanmany's prosperity. If the
city can prosper under such regime, well
and good. But the city has fair notice that
politics will again rule In the city hall,
and that through the joint efforts of the
new mayor. and his discoverer and sponsor,
Richard Croker, her interests will only be
considered in connection with Tammany's
interests.
The two systems of municipal govern
ment will thus be in operation at the same
time. and the result will be of general in
terest.

Diphtheria in the Schools.

From The Baltimore American.
The health department has reported that
diphtheria exists among many children who
go to the public schools, and the disease
seems to be on the Increase, as seven new
cases were reported yesterday. The health
commissioner has advised that closer at
tent1on be paid to the drinking water, and
that separate cups be used in the schools
The school board has not passed an order
to this effect. A committee from the school
board has reported on the unsanitary con-
ditlon of some of the school houses.
Diphtheria is no longer the terror it once
was. Improved methods in treatment have
reduced the percentage of fatal cases, but
1t is still a trouble formidable enough to
demand close attention. The danger of a
disease spreading in a public school Is
great, as compared with establishments
where as many people are found together
as in factories, because children who at
tend the schools are Of a tender age. and
for that reason are more susceptible to at
tack. The condition of the children also
differs greatly. Some parents are more
careful than others in seeing that their
offspring are clean and well clothed. The
greatest danger of spread lies in the
water. The suggestion that each puniI
have separate cup might be dithcult to
put into practice where SO many children
are congregated but 1t is very sens
BILE suggestion. II any of the school
buildings are, in the opinion Of the physi
clans Of the health department, in an I'M
sanitary condition. they should be attended
to at once, even If 1t should be necessary
to borrow the money to do the work II
would be calamity to have even q few of
the schools closed.

Republican wranElinx.

The republicans in New York and Ohio
are Keeping up with great energy and ap-
parent relish the factional fighting begun
during he recent campaigns. The common
enemy seems to have been lost sight of
altogether. Platt and anti-Platt in the one
state, and Hanna and anti-Hanna in the
other, are the cries heard above all the
rest of the din. New York has been lost to
the democi ats by a large majority. and
Ohio's republican vote has been whitfield
down TO a comparatively small figure. No
two family rows of recent date have shown
more virulence. OR have been conducted
with greater skill for giving aid and COM
fort to the other side. Some of the feat
uIes. indeed. ought to be patentahle for
their originality and effectiveness.
Yet there IS talk of harmony. and not as
a joke. The Platt people, while denounc-
ing the anti-Platt people in the severest
terms-freely accusing them of treachery
and other things like that-express will
lfnSness to forgive all and receive the
traitors" back. But first the TRAITORS
must humble themselves. and. returning to
the fold, acknowledge Mr.. Platt's supre-
macy. The anti-Platt people apply no cpl
thets to the rank and file of the Plat
crowd. but for Mr.. Plat himself they have
only execration. They demand that he
abdicate his boss-ship and give way for
leadership more reputable and more in
harmony with the aspirations of the party
How harmony is to grow out of such a
state of case is difficult to imagine
Things are quite bad in Ohio. Mr..
Hanna has been Endorsed for senator by a
state convention, his party has u majority
in the legislature which is TO elect the
senator. and yet Mr.. Hanna is threat
cred with defeat Gossip in political cir
cles all over the state is making free with
the names of the most eminent of the
republican leaders. Senator Foraker and
Gov. Bushnell are accused of acts that
would dircredit a ward heller and Mr.
Hanna is mildly characterized as a mill
stone around the party's neck. If the
Weight is not lifted the party will go to
wreck. If the weight is lifted the anti
Hanna people will take charge.
Meanwhile the Congress elections are
coming on, they are of the first importance
and are going to be contested with more
Spirit by the silver men than any of a
generation haze been. Do the republicans
of New York and Ohio consider that in
continuing the racket of the recent cam
pafgps they are serving the cause of sound
money? Is such an example a good one
to set at such time?

Municipal Government.

The newly elected mayors of Baltimore

and both enter upon their duties with an
expressed determination to administer their
trusts strictly with regard to the public
rather than to local partisan interests.

the point. and II the promises made shall
be redeemed by performances in line with

An Able Advocate.

The interview with Senator Morgan print
ed yesterday was an excellent summary of
the many reasons that tend to prove the
wisdom of the immediate annexation of the
Hawaiian Islands to the United States.
Senator Morgan knows this question thor
eughly, has studied it both at a distance
and close at hand, knows the history of
the movement to unite the two nations.
knows the nature of the opposition. and.
In fact. is in close touch with every phase
Of the question. His visit to Hawaii this
autumn persuaded him more firmly than
ever that the ultimate destiny of the two
republics draws them closer together and
that the safety of each suggests immediate
annexation The veteran statesman has re-
turned to Washington filed with ardor for
the contamination of the project of an
nexation. and he will doubtless in this in
stance prove as doughty champion as in
other matters in which he has taken a
leading interest The treaty is apparently
in no danger. but 1t will probably be rati-
fled the sooner by reason of the vigor that
such advocates as Senator Morgan will
bring to bear on the case.

Nurses for the Poor.

The movement now under way in this
city to establish a system of supplying the
poor with trained nurses at a nominal cost
Is worthy of all success. The plan has
been tried elsewhere with satisfactory re-
suits and there is no local obstacle to a
complete justification of it's adoption here.
The plan is to enable the poor who can not
afford to hire nurses for the comparatively
large sums usually paid to the members of
that worthy profession to secure the
trained attendance of persons accustomed
to the care of the sick, affording the COM
forts of direct personal attention. Many
apparently helpless cases have been
brought to happy conclusions through the
medium Of good nursing. and it is appall-
ing to consider the suffering that pre-
walls among the poor of large cities through
the lack of such attentions. The scheme
Eow under consideration by the Central
Union Mission contemplates that the work
shall in no wise tend toward a pauperiza-
ton of the patients. who are to pay a GER
tain small sum for each visit whenever
they are able to pay at ALL Those cases of
absolute restitution In which free nursing
Is to be given can readily be identified and
with good management there is no reason
to fear that the extension Of this privilege
to the poor will result in the creation of a
feeling of dependence upon the organized
charitable agencies. The project is emf
nently practical and aims at a noble -pur-
pose. the alienation of suffering 1t should
receive the moral and financial support of
the community, which can do wonders
through small Individual contributions to
such works through established associa-
lions like the Mission. Washington
should always be ready to adopt modern
IDEAS In charitable work that have stood
the test of experience elsewhere for it is
through the cultivation of such a spirit
that the community becomes equal to
emergencies and capable of dealing with
grave problems.

Diphthler1a.

There is no occasion for serious alarm
among the parents on account of the preva-
lence of dipththeria in certain sections of
the District. This disease usually appears
at this season of the year and continues
with more or less virulence for varying
periods. The city will probably never be
wholly free from it, though science Is now
at work seeking means to prevent the oc-
currence of the illness. There is nothing in
the present situation to warrant any feel
ing of panic or even of grave apprehension
among those whose children are now we'll
and are not within range Of contagion from
cases already developed What is needed in
such instances is care in the beginning
that tie children are not exposed to known
sources of the disease germs: caution about
the sanitary conditions of the houses; acute
attention to all symptoms that tend to Gre
ate suspicion of the presence of diphthe-
ria. apd thorough overhauling of all
bers.
Too much stress can not be laid upon the
duty that each parent owes to to the COM
munity TO cct promptly whenever the least
symptom OF this disease makes its appear
ance- The rule in such cases should be 10
isolate the child upon the first suspicion.
rather than upon a certainty. While this
plan may necessitate some hardships, an
noyance and discomfort both to the child
and to others IN the household and NAV in
volve loss of school attendance the Dos
sible consequences of inattention to this
precaution amply justify the STEP Until
parents learn this lesson in the case of
diphtheria as well in that of any other
OF the contagious diseases peculiar to
children there will always be danger of the
spread of these noxious germs in the
schools There should be no waiting for
certainties but action as soon as suspicion
is born
The health officer declares that there Is
nothing wrong with the conditions at the
Johnson School In Mount Pleasant nothing
that can be directly accused of causing the
diphtheria that has appeared among the
= pupils there attendant. Six cases have oc-
CURED among these pupils. This coinci-
dence may be due either to sources of the
disease incidental to the school premises
or to the spread of the disease from one
case contracted elsewhere and taken to
the school through the failure Of the parent
TO detect the Identifying symptoms In sea-
son. The health Officer believes that the
situation at the school does not justify the
