The Courts and Sanitary Law.
U. o. B. Wingate. in North American Re


There has always existed one very vital
and fatal defect in the fundamental prin-
ciple of sanitary lazy as interpreted by our
courts, namely that an evil condition must
actually exist before a legal remedy can be
applied. This has absolutely destroyed the
ertlcacy of much of sanitary law. Power to
cope with infectious disease after it has
made its appearance is insufficient power
Modern sanitation calls for legal power to
prevent conditions favorable to the outbreak
or continuance of disease; in other words,
for power to deal with the causes of the dis
ease instead of with the disease itself; to
close the stable. to speak, before the
horse is stolen. This is the power, par ex-
cellence, required by and Indispensable to
the health officer of to-day. Thousands of
human lives, millions of dollars and untold
happiness would be the reward on the Amer
lean people if the health Authorities
throughout the country were clothed with
legal powers to act when, in their judgment
it appeared necessary, instead of being com
PEELED to wait until infectious disease actu-
ally made its appearance, before taking
measures to combat il.

Ex-President Harrison expresses a truth
applicable to the entire country when he
declares that ''honest-money Democrats
who have hoped that the (free-silver) issue
might not meet them again sn a Democratic
national convention will help to make it's
appearance there certain If they aid in Sc
curing a Democratic victory in Indiana this
fall" Nothing would tend more TO produce
this result than the business paralysis that
is likely TO follow the election of a Demo-
cratic House. Industrial stagnation gave
the free-silver craze all the vitality it ever
had and il will do the same thing again.
Now is the time to crush the attempt to inn
part new life to the cheap-money cause.

THE PRESIDENTS VIEWS.
Why He IL Not Convinced That Torpedo
Blew up the Maine

Chicago. March IA special to the
Record from Washington says:
The President never expresses an
opinion for publication. He talks
freely with those In whom he has con-
filence. but II is always with the un-
derstanding that he shall not he quot
ed. II mny he said generally that the
President still ndhcrcs to the accident
theory. and IL waiting patiently with
the hope that II may he confirmed by
the board of inquiry. The chief rea-
sons for his belief. as explained by
Secretary Alger. are that "if the
Maine had been destroyed by the ex-
plosiOn Of n mine:
81. The vessel would have been
lifted with such violence as to have
thrown the persons who were stand
ing upon It's deck from their feet. and
would have produced such n shock
that 1t could not have been forgotten.
whereas none OF the survivors describe
any such movement or sensation.
"2. II there had been an explosion
In the water sufficient to have pro-
duced the existing condition of the
Maine. there would have been n tre-
mendous commotion In the water.
which would have violently rocked ev-
cry ship In the bay and washed over
the low whnrves like a tidal wave.
but men who were sitting upon the
decks of vessels in the bay report no
such phenomena. and those who were
sitting upon the low docks Mt the GUS
tom house noticed no unusual disturb
ance. and mt first thought that the ex-
plosiOn was In the fortress.
''3. The explosion OF mine or n
torpedo would have covered the sur
face of the water with dead fish.
whereas none whatever were observed.
-. II the Maine had been destroyed
by the explosion of mine or tor
pedo the water would have been
thrown into the air like n geyser and
the decks of the vessel would have

ors report such n phenomenon"

alton is serious and calls for the exer-

cretlon, but the published statements
concerning preparations for hostili-
ties and councils of war are false. He
