CLEANLINESS AND DEATH RATE.

Yesterday the Journal mentioned the fact
that the death rate of New York city for
the year 1897, as shown by the report of its
Health Board. is lower than ever before
Having accepted the views OF sanitary sci
entists that have been so irdustriously
dinned into the public ear for so many
years. the editorial comment was added that
this decreased rate was a proof of the ben
efits of clean streets and general SANTA
such work. Since that paragraph was writ
ten health statistics of other cities have
come to notice, and are in such conflict
with this position that the Journal is much
bewildered and is obliged to acknowledge
that it spoke in haste. The figures show
that in New York the deata rate for 1897
was 1875 for every one thousand. This is
impressive until it is seen further down
the list that Chicago has a rate per thou
sand for the same year of but 1875. Think
of it-Chicago, with it's mud and dust and
soot Chicago, with its water that is swal-
lowed raw only at the risk of perishing
by its evil bacteria; Chicago with its smells
and its river sewer and its air so full of
microbes that no man, however nimble,
can hope to dodge them; Chicago. with it's
pneumonia in winter, its sunstrokes in sum-
mer and it's Luetgerts at all seasons-Chi-
oago, of all other cities. to have the lowest
death rate: And, to show that this is not
accident here is Cincinnati with rate of
but 14.S to the Observation-Disclosures with
ftr dYf,, lyf,
typhoid microbe looking from every glass:
Cincinnati. with its atmosphere of stale
beer-that, too, is ahead of New York. St.
Louis. also, which is not overly clean,
comes up smiling with a rate of 49, And
New York has had its Warning, with his
army of street sweepers, on whose white
coats no bacteria could find refuge; New
York has had its sanitary societies, male
and female, who have overhauled its high
ways and byways, who have gone on SMELL
ing expeditions into its cellars and tene-
ments and left trail of disinfectants be-
hind them New York has boosted of its
housekeeping, has pointed with pride to its
clean streets and has puffed itself up with
its pure air. and, after all, its death rate
is higher than those of the other places
named. To be sure, 1t has its yellow news
