FACTS FROM THE HEALTH OFFICE.
DIR. LeHardy's Report on the Guar
antine station.

Health officer LeHardy is preparing his
annual report. The report of Quarantine
officer Linley contains some interesting
facts. There were 496 vessels boarded ands
inspected by the quarantine officer duringj
1897. OF these, II were boarded in Tybee
roads. These vessels carried 7,722 searilfn
and 90 passengers. Only 7S vessels were
detained for quarantine regulations, Az
being given free pratique after inspection
The average period of detention OF yes
sells for quarantine regulations was l0.Ol
DAYS. For the winter season the average
was Al days, and for the summer, l4.S
days
The vessels brought 1O2Sl1s tons of bal
last. which was discharged at the station,
4 Se3lb tons being rock ballast.
DR.. Linley states that more wharf room
is greatly needed at the station during the
summer season. With only two berths
and eight or ten men to discharge ballast
DELAYS necessarily occur. with more
wharf room and good floating plant any
number of vessels could be handled with
out unnecessary delay, he says. INST OF
n vessels detained from to "a days each
ON account of lack of wharf room IS given

CONSULAR SERVICE.

C o much adverse criticism has been pronounced
 upon our consular service and the work of the AD men engaged in it, that when some good report i3 given of the results accomplished 1t IS only fair tention should be directed to it. Such reports by no means uncommon in Europe, though they are rare here In fact the merits of consular system seem to be better known abroad than at home
 A recent issue of the London Mail contained re- writer found the results attained to be so important that he pronounces our Consuls to be ambassadors of commerce. or commercial travellers for American producers" Many instances are cited of what has been done to advance the trade of merchants in European countries and to make a market for the products of our farms as well of our factories.
 Tn fact the traders of Europe have discovered that the average American Consul is one of the most eff cient workers to be found in the markets Of the world. They have felt the effects of his competition and they know his value He has been instrumental in teaching the American producer how to find way irto the markets where Europe expected to be with out rival and by his vigor and enterprise has man. aged to overcome the advantage which European Consuls have over him by of their longer ser vice and elaborate training for consular duties.
 Our system of choosing Consuls and making such appointments subject to politics has many defects, but 1t has also advantage the life service system The newly appointed Consul Is his best behavior and puts forth his best energies. Like broom, he sweeps clean. Permanency of tenure does not in crease the activities of official and while the Euro pean Consul assured of his position virtually for life takes things easy, the American conner knows he must make record in four years and he works like ab beaver

A FOOLISH POLICY.

ID ECAUSE the country is now prosperous, the l h treasury of the nation overfowlng, gold com A0 inq into the channels of trade from Europe iu q steady stream and our finances in good condition, some Republican newspapers have declared that no change in our currency needed, and that the com ing Congress should make attempt at currency reform in any direction whatever
 To this policy of leaving the currency alone its advocates give the name of "a wise conservatism" Ii is. however no wiser than that of the Arkansas settler who would not repair the roof of his shanty when the rain was falling because he did not like to get wet nor when the was shining because then the roof did not leak and repairs were unnecessary
 That our currency system is i'll devised and made uuate to the of bad times is beyond dispute and the only question is whether shall reform 1t while times are good and the reform can be made without injury to any interest, whether we shall wait until another financial storm and then un- dertake the work in the midst of popular panic and industrial disturbance.
 At the present outlook all the conditions of the time promise to be most favorable to a thorough re- vision of the currency by the Congress which has just been elected. When 1t meets all the branches of the Government will be under Republican control, and it will be possible to enact reform bill without re- sorting to any compromises with fiat money or free silver factions for the purpose of assuring its passage
 If the opportunity is permitted to pass unused there is danger that one so favorable may again for many years
 One of the arguments of the opponents of reform is that the money question has been settled by the elections and is no longer issue This is curious
 illustration of how easy 1t is to arrive at erroneous conclusions by nisconsruing phrases. The currency question was settled by the elections far the peo pie are concerned because by their votes they elected Republican Congress to solve it. Ii, however, Con- gress refuses to do anything about it, the question will remain open at the next election.
 As matter of fact the issue never more vital than at present It was more potent than any other single factor in determining the votes at the recent election of the great of independent voters throughout the Union. Large numbers of conserva- tive Democrats cast their ballots for Republican can didates for the sole purpose of assuring wise sou- ton of the currency problems and the Republicans should now fail to accomplish anything in that direc ton the party would forfeit the surport of many of these conservative allies in Iooo
 That the settlement of the issue will require lit tie political sagacity and courage goes without say ing but nothing will be gained by shirkng its diff culties. We have just had disastrous experience of the results of shirIng the silver issue. There should be no further temporizing with political opportunsts and monetary cranks. The coming Congress is pledged to currency reform and it will be false to its duty ii 1t fails to fulfill the pledge.

COMMERCIAL EXPANSION.

! INGO imperiasts much given to the asser- oI ton that the Philippines must be annexed in V order to provide for the expansion of our commerce. They would have the people believe that we can extend trade only by force of arms, and that must undertake the government of the mon grel savages of the Philippines of ob- taning among them a market for products.
 These assertions have good deal of effect upon a considerable number of people, because commercial expansion has become of the great aspirations of the nation. It is not aspiration founded upon sentiment merely but an outcome of our industrial development Under the protective system we have built up industries that produce far more than we consume, and consequently it has become necessary to find foreign markets for their products.
 Under such circumstances whatever tends to ex- pand commerce is attractive to the great of the people The annexatonists understand the fact very we'll and are, therefore eager to present their scheme to the public under the guse of policy of commercial expansion. They ignore evade all the difficulties in which the nation would be involved by assuming responsibilities in the Orient and devote thersselves to clamorous iteration that the ton of the Philippines is necessary preliminary to he upbulding of our trade with Asia and the islands of the Pacific
 The falseness of the claim is known to all who have any knowledge of the conditions under which trade develops. The expansion of our commerce with foreign countries has been going forward by leaps and bounds for years past. Without burdening our selves with colonial governments and foreign posses sions we have increased our exports until they now exceed those of any other nation. With the con
 nuance of peace and prosperity the increase will go on with steady progression, while the annexation policy, by involving in complications that might
