FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1899.
MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT.

When the National Municipal league
conVenes for its fifth annual meeting
at Columbus Ohio, on Nov. Is. 16 and
H. the most important business to be
transacted will unquestionably be the
final adoption of the Municipal Pro-
gramme,' which, in its revised and
perfected shape, represents the labors
of seven of the leagues brightest minds
covering a period of two years. The
responsibility of providing a practical
concept Of American municipal govern
ment was not lightly undertaken. Real
lzing that the need existed, the COM
mittee entered on its work determined
to present a broad basis for the recon
struction Of government in the cities
ripe for reform, and to this end the
members have devoted their best eff
forts.
Nothing could be more fallacious than
the thought that American cities con-
tain more dishonest people than honest
or more criminals than upright citizens
Certainly this cannot be said to ever
have been true of Worcester, and what
is true Of this city applies fairly well
to most other American municipalities
of proportionate population.
The degradation into which the gov
ernments of many, if not all of the
larger cities have fallen, has been suf-
fered to continue by the apathy OF
votare ruhoca aot;,,;t1, =, A. ,.,,,.~,..t : q
their private business contrasts sharp
ly with their sloth and neglect where
the government of their city is con-
cerned. A very large class of voters
whose ballots. If cast at all, might be
expected to oppose "boss rule" do not
so to the polls except in presidential
years. This unaccountable apathy
which threatens the existence of Amer
lean institutions far more than mis-
deeds of selfish politicians, still exist
to an alarming extent. That the coun-
try is not entirely deaf to the cry of re-
form, is due to the National Municipal
league and kindred organizations.
1t is a serious task to GUST the poll
tician, but a greater one to bring the
average American citizen to full real
ization that his citizenship has duties
attached to its exercise as well as priv
ileges
1t is a most encouraging sign of the
times that the increasing portion Of the
population, realizing the gravity of the
situation is continually forming asso-
Citations to combat the evils of apathy
and Indifference and to inculcate
deeper sense of responsibility on the
part of each individual citizen.

CONSUMPTION, CAUSE AND CURE.

1t is probable that comparatively few
residents of Worcester realize what a
large percentage Of the deaths of this
city is caused by consumption and
pneumonia A glance at the health re-
ports for the months of July, August
and September shows that the victims
Of disease in that time numbered g.
out of the 42S deaths in that period.
For the first six months of the year
consumption and pneumonia were far
the most fatal maladies, 26O deaths re-
sulting
Our experience is similar to that of
other cities and countries if one is to
judge from the last annual report of
the league for the prevention of tuber-
culosis, which has been presented to
the state department by Consul Covert
of Lyons. His report asserts that out
of $50, 600 deaths in France during 1898
no less than 100000 were the result Of
pulmonary tuberculosis orphthisis. mo
disease, no scourge," it says, "can be
compared to tuberculosis so far as the
number of it's victims is concerned. All
epidemics and contagious diseases
typhoid, varioloid, scarlatina, measles
diphtheria, cholera, etc.-do not cause
one-half as many deaths" In large
cities from one-fourth to one-seventh
of the mortality is attributable to the
one terrible destroyer.
1t is a matter Of supreme public i'm
portance to seek a remedy and {he
most potent one is derived by an ex-
animation into the reasons for the
general prevalence of the malady "The
most frequent and the most dreadful
source of contagion lies in the expec-
toration of copsumptive patients. AL
most harmless, when in a liquid con-
dition, it becomes dangerous when re-
duced to q powder. 1t is then distrib-
uted through the atmosphere and
thence is taken into the lungs of
healthy persons with all its frightful
consequences. The one remedy offered
in the report may be summed up by the
single word "spittoon."
After these suggestions the report
then takes up the question, is the dis
ease eurable?" to which it gives an
affirmative answer, with certain i'm
portant qualifications. The cure is
possible only when the consumption
has not advanced too far, and only for

OUT AND ABOUT.

Haydn's Kaiser quartette," varia-
tions from which the KneiseI quartet is
to play this evening for its third num-
Der, is notable for being that in which
the composer brought in his own hymn
(the Austrian national hymn-"Gott
erhalte Franz den kaiser'') with set
of variations. This hymn is perhaps
the only instance of a composer writing
a national anthem with malice afore-
thought. No man, except Haydn, has
yet deliberately decided to achieve such
task-and succeeded. National hymns
are born of stress, of battle. of sorrow,
but this one was merely the outcome
of Eaydns noticing the reverence
shown by the English to God save the
king. while he was in London, in 1891
and 1885 On his return to Austria, af-
ter the latter date, he set about COM
posing the work, which appeared in
January, 1897
That he loved it greatly is proved by
his being carried from his death bed
TO his piano, that he might play 1t over
three times.
The variations are very different
from those freer developments which
Beethoven afterwards introduced as

and most pleasing to the average audi

Yet 1t would be a mistake, says one

no difficulties in such a quartet; here,
If anywhere, a lack of balance would
show plainly. and in such diaphanous
work every slight error stands re-
vealed.
