THE SMALLPOX SITUATION.

The smallpox situation In this city
does not yet, in our opinion, call for
serious alarm. The fact remains,
however, that the disease Is I'M
doubleday spreading, and nothing but
the immediate adoption of the most
stringent measures designed to control
and stamp out the disease will check
It's progress before 1t becomes
epidemic.
The HERALD occupies position be
tween two.extremes. Among q section
of the business men of the city, among
some of the physicians, and in other
quarters there is q disposition to con-
ceal the facts and misrepresent the
true state of affairs, for fear publicity
will work injury to the city in q finsn-
cial way. On the other hand the ten
denoy of people in general is to jump
at conclusions, to exsggerate the i'm
portance of every rumor, and turn idle
gossip into statements Of known fact.
Since this smallpox scare began tn @
HERALD has taken pains to sift the
various rumors that have come to US,
and is q fact that most of these have
turned out to be without foundation.
At the same time the HERALD, in
common with q great many citizens, is
certain that the health department of
the city has not been adequately ad-
ministered, and the city has not receiv-
ed from it's health officials the service
that 1t has the sight to demand.
In the first place, the work OF ex-
animation and compulsory vaccination
was not begun soon enough. 1t took
q course of popular agitation to force
the ever delinquent city authorities to
do their duty. When 1t was begun, it
was done half heartedly for time, and
IT is only very recently that the amount
of work done has been at all proper
tionate to the demand.
Second, there is a deplorable lack of
organization in the health department
Everything Is everybody's business and
nobody's business. The health officer
should be given every possible facility
for attending properly to his work, and
then he should be.held absolutely re-
sponsible. The costly blunder OF the
authorities in spending fifteen hundred
dollars in fixing up the proposed pest
house In the barracks at old Fort Bliss,
only to be thrown sout by an iniunc-
ton, is q case IN point. The same
amount of money properly expended
few months ago in cleaning up the
city and conducting a thorough house
to house canvass would have gone far
Their.
Third, there is great carelessness in

THE language of the Spanish com.
missioners in presenting their memo
randum to our own representatives Ia
little short of ridiculous. The note
said in substances: "The American
propositions are inadmissible on legal
principles and are not q proper COM
promise on legal principles. On the
Spanish part all diplomatic resources
are exhausted and the Spanish COM
mission is now asked to accept or re-
ject the propositions. Spain, inspired
by reasons of patriotism and humanity,
and to avoid the horrors of war, re-
signs herself to the power of
the victor. She adopts the offered
conditions In order to conclude q
treaty OF peace" There is q note
OF pathos running through the
wording of the memorandum. II is
impossible not to feel touch of pity
for this dying nation, struggling 30
bravely but so hopelessly against the
inevitable fall. But none the less, the
spectacle of Spain sacrificing herself
for the sake of humanity and to avoid
the horrors Of war Ia an odd one. Why
did not Spain think OF this before!
Why should she have waited until
Cuba was devastated, until hundreds OF
thousands of innocent ones had been
slaughtered, until the lives of her SOL
diers and ours were laid at the feet of
the god of greed, with the world stand.

GERMANY has, 1t is said, protested
against the United States assuming
control over the Sulu archipelago, ly-
ing south Of the Philippines. Most
Americans neither know or care what
the Sulu archipelago is, but they will
rise in mass and announce that If we
have claimed the islands and Germany
has protested, those facts are just two
good reasons for holding on to them.
That is the American spirit we read
about.

a greater profit to the miner.-Mex-
