Silver sentiment is dead" shouts a
Chicago administration organ one
day, and the next 1t mourns over the
fact that the house makes ''conces-
sion' 10 silver in the matter of coin
ing seigniorage.
If silver sentiment is dead, why is
the house making concessions" to
it? What is the house afraid off
Ghosts?
1t is evident that the government
needs money. There is $42 900, 900
worth of silver in the treasury, but
that must not be coined. says the
gold advocating press. Bonds are
what we want. Gold bonds are pre-
ferred, but as we can't get them we
will take coin bonds.'
But why bonds instead of the good
money lying in the vaults of the
treasury? Because bonds bear inter
est. Bonds make bankers rich. Bonds
force the people to pay tribute to the
plutocrat, and coming the bullion into
money does not put any tax on the
the people to be paid into the hands
of bondholders.
Nevertheless, the seigniorage is to
be coined, and all because the men,
bers of the house of representatives
are afraid of ghosts. Chicago

THE YELLOW FEVER.
Dangers Which Threaten Our Sol

DR.. Alvah H. Doty, Health officer Of
the Port of New York. Expresses
His Vfews-Alakes Valuable
Suggestions.

81 am too familiar with the ravages

underrate or minimize it's DANGERS"
said DR.. Alvah "a. Doty, health officer
of the port of New York, "but was

Y, for two years, and will go to Cuba
if needed.
Everything tends to operate against
the fever patient, both in Havana and
in the interior of the country, and the
death rate is very large.
THE danger of yellow jack depends
very largely, of course, upon the season
of the year.
'sThe rainy season, which runs from
May until September, while we have
never been able to say that it engenders
the yellow fever bacilli, certainly en-
courages their propagation. The damp
valleys, the generally malarial condi-
tion of the country, all initiate against
the patient in the interior of the island.
On the other hand, the city of Havana
is perfect pesthole stretching out it's
arms to welcome every contagion that
can reach it. 1t is miserably drained,
Its harbor is stencil pond of stagnant
water with the accumulated filth of
years and the general hygienic would
disgust Egypt. OF sanitary or quaran-
tine restriction there are none. Ship
loads of Spanish soldiers, bringing with
them all the diseases of their miserable
country, are received in Havana and
passed through the city to the interior
with no pretence of inspection.

well; | know the national guardsman
