lowing report of sanitary condi,
tions in the city of Havana
"The deaths IN that Cuban city in
eleven months of 1898 were 10,
f8o, or about 8 per cent of the pop
ulation, The mortality for the en-
tire year will be nearly ten per
cent. The month OF the greatest
fatality was September, with
1890 deaths. October came next
and August third. The month
Of the lightest mortality was
June, May, June and July being
the months showing the best state
of health, Tho winter makes a

something decisive is done to i'm

There are in the city only one
birth to nine deaths, and but for
the fact that the population has
been constantly recruited from
he outside, it is easy to see that
t must soon be exterminated.
The death and birth rate and
marriages for each of the eleven
months of 1898 are given as fol-

it meant until too lae, a half
grown negro boy knocked purse
out Of the hand of a Nell-known
lady, and snatching it ub, ran off
and escaped before she had time
to recover from her establishment.
The lady and a friend were stand
ing talking together, when the
thief passed them and id flash
bad struck the pocket book out of
her hand, and was out ofreach be-
fore she could call for help. For
tunately it only contained a couple
Of dollars, but the bold audaclty
Of the attack made it startling
to take place in broad
daylight on a street of Greenville.

The population Of Havana, ac-
colding to the latest Spanish re-
turns, is POO, 900 1t is estimated
that any effective and permanent
works to complete the sanitation
of the Cuban capital will cost $40,
100000, It's plain shat the Uni
Jed States Government, holding on
y temporary possession Of Cuba
will not undertake q work of such
magnitude and il is hopeless to ex-
pect the Government of a Cuban
republic to do SO. Even if Cuba
we're permanent possession Of
The United States, Congress
would never send S40,o00,00O out
of this country to sanitate the
Spanish islands. The result will
be, for the present, that q rigid
quarantine against Havana will
have to be maintained as in: the
past, y
1t is easy enough, after reading
this terrible record of municipal
mismanagement and moral degra
dation, to understand that no quar-
antine system can avail to protect
us entirely from the annual men
ace of yellow fever while Havana
remains in its present condition.
A campaign of the most rigorous
description must follow the occu-
patton of this city. 1t must be
purged and cleaned like a thresh-
ing door before we can hope to
escape the infection of its filth.
The enormous expenditure neces-
sary for this purpose, as shown by
the Picayune, makes the hope that
it Will be accomplished worry re.
mote one, and in the meantime
our only protection is rigid
national quarantine.

Too Tough to be Talked about,

Much to our surprise we note
the fact that several of our eS-
teemed contemporaries, friends of
Governor MeLaurin, are insisting
that his administration, or to use
their own language, NcLaurinism
or anti-McLaurinism shall not be
made an issue in the coming cam
paign. We really are not sur
prised at their anxiety to keep it
in the background, for the Lord
knows it's "tuf enutf, but our
astonishment is caused by their
candid admission that it is too
rank TO bear exposure and ventila-
ton. Ii must indeed be a rotten
record that cannot bear handling,
even by the friepd OF the man
who made it, for if they plead
guilty in advance, then that do
settle it, and be is to be pltied.
As Shakespeare so touehingly re
marks:
"Things is come 20 a pretty pass
Whua . 1-n can wallop bis own jock
ass Commonwealth.
