They need just such methods and just such energy and scientific slfn as he has brought to Florida. The state is close to the seats of the disease-boats passing to and fro daily. It's exemption is not aoea1entaL It is safety through the only conditions that can secure it, namely, vigilance and cleanliness. Every town or landing on fhe Florida coast, no matter how insignificant, is subjected to the severest sanitary regu- lations. Florida has in that way become fever-proof. If Florida, almost with n sight of Havana, can become immune, Alabama and Mississippi can certainty be made secure against the disease, even if New Orleans on account of a depress- ed location, cannot always repel the dread microbes.

Cleanliness and Health.

1.-The Americans are rIolt a cleanly peo- pie, so it seems from investiga tions conducted tby Commissioner Wright, of the ualbor bureau. In the larger cities there are some public bsidlls accessible In the summer season to the great un- washed; but if has occurred to only three or four towns that people need 'haths in t[lc cold season as we'll as in the wlartm sea'son. Even in the cities of ruhe larJd only one-fffuh of the dwellings, con;ain bath tubs; in tIhe counry very few are found, chiefly because there is not present a water supply sufficient. So that much the greater pallt of the peo- pie are confined to buckets and small portable tubs; and these do not as a mule conduce to Ia high degree of clean- Hness.
 We are far behind the cities eff dhe effete monarchies in Whe respect of pro- vision of lbaiHhs for the masses. livery European city has baths that are open all tine year, and they are met simply cold baths. There is an abundance of hot water alt all seasons. In Liverpool edloo1 boys can enjoy i'm midwirter a swim in a swimming pool of "a warm water alt the ralte of cent a he Swim mfng pools are to be found 0fn every qlrarter of Paris. and Vienna intends soon to provide ample means for keep ing the poorer people clean. da Germany shower baIuhs, warm or cold, are prefer red; they are considered more cleanly and efficialcious tl1an tub or pool ba'ths; and frhey are now building them in con- nection with the public schools.

 lThe fact standss as first stated. that we are several yeans behind The Euro pean countries in the reKpscH eff per sonaa clearlli1siss in cities. But some of our cit.es, notably Buffalo. Boston, Chicago and New York, are preparing to open puhafc bsft1s in the cold season, and doubtless their example win in ghe end bring our urban population up to The European standard. As clsan3inests means beJter heafth and higher re- sistance ito disease, we may expect to s.e, as cleanliness is increased, the death rate go down, or at any rate, the num- ber elf cassS of disease decreased. It is subject of deepest meaning, for nJary diseases arise and become malignant in the crowded districts of cites. A high degree of cleanliness in the cides would, in fact, put an end to some con- t2gicus- --diseasses, and mitigate the de- sltruotlveneiss of the remainder. Clean Illness stands Ge the head of the sanita- l.lon list.

THE OLD COTTAGE CLOCK,

From the New York Ledger. Oh, the old, old clock of the household
 stock
 Was the brightest thing and neatest; It's hands, though old, had touch of gold, And It's chime rang still the sweetest: Twas monitor, too. Though its words
 were few,
 Yet they lived, though nations aher'd; And it's voice, still strong, warn'd old and When the voice of friendship falterd, Tick, tick it said; quick, quick to bed; For ten I've gwen warning Up up, and go-or edse,. you know, A friendly voice was that old, old clock, As it stood in the corner smiling, And blessd the time, with a merry chime. The wintry hours beguiling. But a cross old voice was that tiresome As it caId at daybreak boldly, When the Dawn look'd gray OCT the misty And the early air blew coldgyl Tick. tick it said a quick. out of bed. You'll never have health. you'll never gea Unless you're up soon in the morning. Still hourly the sound goes round and round With a tone that ceases never, While tears are shed for the bright days And the old friends lost forever! It's heart beats on, though hearts are gone That warmer beat and younger; Its hands still move, though hands we love Are clasped on earth no longer! Tick, tick 1t said-to the churchyard bedl The grave hath given warming; Up, up and rise to the angel skies
 And enter a heavenly morning.

4 Picturesque BrIttaInx xilIa.

Paris Letter 10 Harper's Bazar.
 f must tell you what a Brittany villa on the sea coast is like. This one fdeed a rose ganden, berdered all around with clcye plnlks and henmed in by walks, over which oDambered wild rl5ses, pear, peanh and grape trees. The same roses Climbed over the house, which was of stone, wih deep walls and shining wood floors.
 The msnleer of keeping up these floors we discovered to be most fearful and unusual. Once every week the char woman appears on the scene with her bucket of water and siarpiJbing brush, which bucket is not of galvanized iron eff depressing color and shape, but an tninense earthenware pot of rich buff collor outside, slnd dcHcfons braght green enamel Within.

Compulsory Education.

No state can reach its highest good; no people can attain to any permanent degree of success, until education be- comes widespread and universal. Every commonwealth owes it to its citizens that free schools shall be provided for the humblest and poorest children, and that every inducement be offered to encourage free schools. Alabama has the misfortune to stand third to the bottom in dlllteracy in the long list of sital;es.
 The outlook for an improvement in this matter is discouraging at this time to the most hopeful citizen. With the present laws, limiting taxation, the hands of the authorities are tied, and the children of Alabama are kept from public schools because of their inability to pay tuition. The crying need of the hour is 8 constitutional convention, which will provide laws that will make 1t possible to open the doors of the schools to all classes, conditions and races, and to make an educational test the limit to political suffrage. Alaba- mas children must be educated. There must be money provided for this need, and once provided, education must no longer be optional, but imperative.
 Compulsory education is the quickest road to success in every walk of life. All avenues are limited only by mental development Alabama can no longer remain indifferent to the condition of the children of the state who are too poor to pay their tuition. These chil- dren must be educated at the expense of the state.
 The development of the coal, iron and cotton interests of Alabama are essen tial to the growth and progress of the state, but these things pale into utter and complete insignificance compared with the education of the children of the commonwealth. Education should not only be free; it should be compul- sory It is disgrace to advanced civil ization that the state of Alabama should be the third from the last in illiteracy. It is humiliating to admit it, but it is a fact nevertheless.

Now to Business.

Representative Underwood and his CO., workers deserve high praise for induc- ing the armor plate board to visit this city with view to an inspection of the mineral resources in and near it. The proposed entertainments naturally fol- low, and so does the suggestion that at least some work in the construction of a new navy should be done in the cen- tral south. But in point of fact the ap- peal for a flair distribution of govern ment favors comes more properly with in the discretion of congress. The armor plate board may, it is true, make such recommendations as seem fit and proper; but doubtless its work will be chiefly, if not wholly, confined to the problems relating to cost and quality. Those in charge should at once turn to a pre- sentation of every material fact that bears upon these two problems.
 The cost of pig iron and open-hearth steel should be set down in black and white beyond possibility of contradic- ton or error. The items that enter into the cost per ton should be stated, and the facts that underlie each group of figures should be clearly and succinctly set forth.
 The qualities of our open-hearth steel should also be fully and clearly proven and described. Some additional tests of it's tensile and ductile qualities may be needed; if so, no expense or trouble should be spared in the making of them; laid upon this aspect of the problem.

It Is lmperativeIy Necessary.

Biloxi is conducting a house to-houss canvass. This is all very wehl. It is well to be clean at all times-to have wells that are frequently scraped eel lars that are dry and without any de- caying material; drains that are free from sediment, weeds or ether cbstruc- tions; grounds that do not retain sur face water; kitchens and rear premises and stables that do not contaminate air or water CT soil; streets and alleys and landing places and beaches and parks and unoccupied spaces untainted with filth or rank vegetation of any sort i; plumbing that does not leak, and an air of cleanliness and order everywhere. If Biloxi had had these things she would not now be isolated and paralyzed, her trade in suspense, her people refugees and her name a reproach. There is mo season when it does not pay to be clean, no matter at what cost.
 This is particularly true of the coast district along rhe fnfective gulf of Mex ico. The towns, big and little. that are located in this district owe it to them- selves and to their states at least to adopt more stringent sanitary regula- tions tlian are enforced in elevated dis tricts; for nothing less will suffice to keep off disease and death and ruin to property interests. The value of clearli- ness is shown today in exposed Florida; the want of it in the ruin that has come upon Biloxi and Ocean Springs, and other infected towns within one dlundred miles.
 The lfouse-to-a1ouse canvass in Biloxi should be maintained. After frost has killed the prevailing fever, it should go on, and next spring 1t should be renewed with vigor and skill and scientific thor oughness. And what is best for Biloxi is best for all the towns in the coast district--for Mobile and New Orleans as well as for Ocean Springs and Biloxi ftseif-

The Armor Plant Opposition.

The lines of opposition to the estab- lishment of a government armor plant have at. length been fully developed The opponents do not, however, openly and unblushingly advocate the mainte- nance of the present combine, with all its possibilities of new demands. They evade that feature of the case.
 The republican papers in or near Pennsylvania say that existing plants should be fostered and promoted until they become the Krupps of Amercia; the democratic papers in like localities say the movement looking to govern ment factory is an attempt on the part of the republicans to collar" more pat ronage. The two sets of papers work along different lines, both having, how ever, a common object in view, namely, the retention of armor plate work in Pennsylvania, regardless of the nature of the combination, it's demands, or the value of the work done.
 The demand that the Carnegie and Bethlehem shops be fostered into gigan- tic concerns is wholly gratuitous. They are already big enough and powerful enough to treat the government in the most cavalier manner. Furnishing other governments with armor plates at va- rious prices all, however, below the price demanded from the government; possessing already an absolute monop- oly of armor plate production, there is no sense in the proposition that the two shops be still further enriched and for tifieS1 on the peoples money. They open Iy defy the government now, and Krupp could mot do more; they are net infant industries; if they did mot make armor plate at all they would continue to wax fat, becoming giants indeed.
 The democratic papers in or near Pennsylvania need not worry themselves into fever over the patronage question. The labor unions will attend to nearly all the patronage in an armor plate fac tory. except perhaps dozen or so places, and those places would not make or break any party.
 The real question is this is 1t wise to let any two shops, operated as one, de- termine the price and supply of so es- sentiai an article? When iron costs about six dollars ton, is it fair to ask $425 a ton for the steel made from it? Experts say it is not. The government would not submit to extortion when shops were to be built few years ago, and it does not permit gunmakers or any one else to rob it. Why should ar- word, should two shops of remarkable greed and nerve be permitted to hold up seventy-five millions of people?

is really settled; the exemption from sea or even military attacks Is in our fator; all conditions and circumstances of a like nature run our way; and the prob lems of cost and quality are the ones left to grapple with, and make known. so that he who runs may read, and that no doubter may be found anywhere. ex- cept of course those whose interests lie in other directions, and who are not therefore open to conviction.

CriminaIIY Negligent.

It may be great entertainment for the readers of the New Orleans and Mobile papers to be forced day after day to see printed the quarrel between those two cities as to which Gpas the worst casts of yellow fever and the most of them. Some people in Mobile act as if insane that any of the papers should print news of yellow fever. They are but branding Themselves fit subjects fer the asylum for the insane. when they seek to prose- cute newspaper correspondent for sending to outside papers the truth of the fever situation. Private informant from that city is sufficient to indicate that the worst is being suppressed as it comes from that city in the usual news channels.
 That it is a misfortune fer any city to be visited by so fatal disease as yellow fever everybody will admit. Mo- bile has it's share of sympathy from the world at large. but this is case where sympathy and sentimentality count for nothing. This is business. Mobile has yellow fever and has 1t bad. Its business Is suffering. It will take a long time for 1t to recover from the evil effects of the fever.
 Who is responsible for yellow fever at New Orleans and Mobile but the people of those cities themselves? Two dirtier cities are nowhere to be found in the United States than are New Orleans and Mobile. For years no apparent efforts have been made to clean them. Tn the most prominent thoroughfares stagnant waters, covered with green scum dlaye been known to stand for days and weeks, aln the time breeding psstilence.
 Mobile boasts of having within the past three months adopted plans for a sewerage system, just as though this was an act of great enterprise. It may be for Mobile. There is not city in this country with half the population of Mobile which has mot had the most improved sewerage system for more than fifteen years.
 Mobile and New Orleans have done everything they could to invite fever to those localities. Because of the out rageous sanitary systems of those cities the health and lives of the whole people in the southern states are menaced.
 If there was any law by which the people of New Orleans and Mobile could be prosecuted, proceedings should be instituted against them for crfmir al negligence. Fever feeds upon filth, and the mystery is that yellow fever does noe prevail there twelve months in every year.
 If the people of those cities will come to a sense of proper understanding and responsibility they will clean their cities and keep them clean.
 The deplorable sanitary condition of those cities is a disgrace to those who make up their populations. There are thousands of reasons why those two municipalities should be kept excep- tionally clean which do not so mate rially effect the cities farther north from the coast
 Let New Orleans and Mobile profit from their present lesson of pestilence and death and go to work and estab- fish sanitary conditions which will pro- tect the health of their own citizens and not threaten the health of the whole southern country.

 Probably the oldest station agent in the country, in point of service, is James A. Gary, the postmaster general of the United States. He was appoint ed agent at Alberton, Md, on the Ball. timore and Ohio railroad, some forty- four years ago, and his name still ap- pears on the payrolls of the company. The two next oldest Baltimore and Ohio agents are said to be Captain Charles W. Harvey, of Elliott City, Md, and John W. Howser at Relay. They have each been in the service thirty-four years.
