4 RPTTAL PASSION.

The man VINO was under contract with the
managers of the SpOrtsmcn's Show to dive from
n cirder lust under the roof of the Madlsoh
Square Garden into a shallow tank OF water lies
diving of fractured skull. and that part OF the
entertainment has been abandoned. Probably
there are other reckless fools who would nave
been willing to replace Donaldson, but under
the circumstances il is considered advisable not
10 tempt them. The fact Is that this incidental
feature OF the show ought never to have Deen
provided or allowed. Such feats appeal TO
rassion which is morbid and revolving, If not
actually murderOus. Whether willing to ac-
knowledge the truth or not persons who ike 10
witness a performance which imperils the lie
OF the performer like to witness II because MS
life is impcrillcd. Primarily they are not inter
ested in his grace and skill and success nut
basely gratlied by the suspense and agitation Oh
feeling which the chance of fatal FAILURE pro-
duccs And inasmuch as the prevalence OF an
indecent propensity makes such shows proilla-
bic the law ought to interfere and make them
impossible.
For the protection of performers on the high
trapcze the law requires net to be stretched
beneath them. but even though that safeguard
satisfies the reason It does not altogether pre-
vent the indulgence Of emotions which are not
creditable 10 human nature. But the purveyors
of amusement are generally left at liberty to ex-
pose their fellow beings TO any degree of danger
with a tank Of water or balloon. We suppose
the police powers of a municipality are ample
to forbid such extra hazardous EXPLOITS Dut
they are rarely If ever exercised or even IN
voked Possibly this shocking accident. II acci-
dent II can properly be called. will have the sal
utary effect Of causing measures to he taken 10
prevent the qualification Of instincts which are
essentially loathsome. If so. II will have It's
compensations. In n social state which is sup
noscd 10 be civilized there Is no appropriate
place for invitations 10 commit suicide In public

A practical observer who has just returned
from visit to Cuba expresses the opinion that
Havana can be made ono OF the most healthfu
of the large cities Of the world That may seem
n trife Ttopian to those who have been accus-
TONED To think of Havana only as a plague-spot
as it indeed has largely been. Upon thought
full consideration however. we must deem 1t en-
tircly within the limits Of reasonable expecta
ton
The death rate I'm Havana has been and Is
high. OF that there is no question. But IT is not
necessarily so. DR.. Alfred Russell Wallace, as
we cited Yesterday demonstrates that health
fulncss does not depend upon latitude. trOpi-
cal city may he rs healthful one in temperate
cline. The question is purely one of sanitation.
When London was as filthy ms BOMBAY It suf-
fcrcd from the plague as severely as the latter.
To-day. with The best sanitation in the world 1t
has the lowest death rate in the world. An eX-
ample 10 the point is provided by Calcutta.
There is a city much larger than Havana. in al
most exactly the same latitude and in a far less
salubrlous situation. It's population is, more
over. on the whole less highly civilized than
that of Havana is supposed to be. Yet unuer
British administration Calcutta has been made a
reasonably healthful city Its death rate is no
higher than that Of New-York was dozen years
ago. and is actually lower than that Of some
large cities of Europe Indeed it Is lower than
that Of some entire countries Of Europe.
The scourGc of Havana has been yellow fever.
That was created by the slave trade. and ought
now 10 be abolished. 1t and most other diseases
in that city have been propagated through the
lack Of even rudmentary sanitation and the
prevalence Of filth 10 an extent incOnceivablc to
those who have not personally observed il.
With its fine site, noble harbOr, plentiful water
supply and favorable climate, the place needs
only the application Of commonsenSe principles
of cleanliness to become more Of a sanitarium
than of plagucSpot.

We regret TO see that some of our anti-expan-

In both years the four chief classes covered
about two-thrds OF all domestic exports IN

cred nearly 10 per cent. and all other domestic
exports were about Il per cent of the whole
But the increase in two of the six classes, TO-
bacco manufactured and cotton goods, have
been small while in lumber and It's manufactures
there was n small decrease The noteworthy
gains were I'm iron and steel products. BIB per
cent, more than In breadstuffs or In any other
class I'm leather and its manufactures and In
copper and It's manufactures, both over 10 per
cent But a point still more worthy or notice
is that I'm the aggregate of several hundred
minor articles the increase was actually greater
than I'm the four chief classes taken together,
will not be forgotten that only ten years ago
the exports Of iron and steel products had not
reached $4,000 900 in a year. but now they rank
fourth among the classes in magnitude. Evil
IDENTIFY there are other classes OF manufacture In
which similar surprises and successes are pre-
pairing Among them may be named agri-
cultural implements. of which the value ex-
ported has nearly doubled In two years; bicycles.
OF which the exports have nearly doubled in the
same time; scientific and electrical apparatus, Of
which exports have nearly doubled in four
years and paper, of which exports have more
than doubled in five years. Many others could
be named in which the exports. though not yet
large, have gone quite far enough to show that
they are likely to become much larger.
