The Russian Death Rate.


During the twenty years comprised between 1867
and 1886 find that the average birth rate in Rus
sia amounted TO 1913 per thousand inhabitants,
while the mean death rate for the same period was
ne less than S5.S per thousand. The average num-
her OF marriages "a The mean increase,
therefore, averaged lS.5 per thousand, the ALSO
lutte yearly increase being 100000. In spite of
the very high death rate this balance to the good
Il compared with that OF other European countries
for the same period, Is very considerable In this
respect SaNony is the only state which takes
precedence OF Russia with annual increment of
l4.9 per thousand. England follows Russia with
l3.2, Holland comes next with 1872. then Prussia
with "a, Germany with 81, Austria with rs,
Sweden with 80. Italy with ca, Switzerland with
g., Hungary, despite its fruitful Slay element,
with only a.; Spain with 33, and France with
20. The Russian death rate, il mus be con-
fessed, is propGriioHately large, owing to
rlety of causes, the most of which can be neu-
tralized by improved sanitation, and are being
slowly removed even now. There is hut one coun-

A weak stomach is the cause of about
nine-tenths OF all disease, yet In most

Bring the Bodies Home.

To the Editor of The Times:
In last evenings Times ! read a dis
patch purporting to have come from Gen.
Lee in regard to the bringing of the
bodies of the victims of the Maine dis
aster home for burial, in which he is
credited with stating that it would cost
from $500 to $500 each to embalm and en-
case in metallic caskets the 250 brave
American seamen who went down in the
Maine in Havana harbor, and who lie to-
day in Spanish soil. If the Government
thinks this is too great an expense TO
incur, let some loyal citizen start a pop
ular subscription for the purpose of
bringing the bodies home. and before the
week is over there will be plenty of funds
to accomplish the purpose.

The Taxpayer the Patriot.

(From the Chicago Chronicle.)
Along with the patriotic declaration of
Mr. Russell Sage that he will, in the
event of war, lend the Government SS,0J0,-
000-at current rates and upon good Sc
curity-come other suggestions for rails
ing money. We are to have stamps on
legal tender and commercial paper, taxes
on proprietary medicines and perfumery
and higher taxes on beer and tobacco
There are even tentative and deprecatory
illusions 10 the possibility of an income
tax. but, of course, that would be IAN
attack upon vested interests and can
not be thought of for moment And
besides, the Supreme Court of the United
States has strongly denounced such a
tax as unconstitutional. But the plain,
ordinary citizen, who hasn't got any vest
ed interests and wouldn't know one If
he met ii on the street, will discover, if
we go to war, that the possibilities of
taxation are varied-not to say infinite.
And If taxation fails to supply the requis-
lite funds that phalanx of patriots headed
by j. Pierpont Morgan stands ready to
meet the deficiency at any time. We shall
not lack money so long as the Govern
ment printing presses can turn out bonds
and i'm the end the taxpayer will foot the
bill.
