Prize Money for the Navy.

1t is large sum that will be distrib-
uted among Admiral Dewey and his men
in the form of prize and bounty money.
over 100000 is claimed for property
captured in Manila bay and over $780,
900 for vessels which were sunk and
afterwards raised, refitted and put into
commission. Should a claim for the
capture of the buildings and armament
at the Cavite arsenal be allowed the
gross amount will be increased by over
$1,00000O. With favorable award the
officers and men of the Asiatic squad
ron will find that the expedition of 1893
was about the most profitable venture
of the year in any part of the world.
1t would be we'll for congress to re-
peal the law relating to prizes. 1t was
long ago obsolete so far as it's applica-
bility to modern wars Is concerned. 1t
Is a relic of harsher times, when men
were glad to fight because of the plum
der that would be distributed after the
victory. When war was the principal
business of people who thought them
selves enlightened, soldiers were re-
cruited through promises of spoils. The
best efforts were put forth when it was
announced beforehand that after town
had been captured or an enemy over
come the victors should have half day
for footing among the vanquished. This
stimulated the ardor of the combatants
~ and wreck. This was one of the
early forms of prize money.
Later came privateering, when ma
lions poorly equipped for warfare on
the sea issued commissions to private
mariners who were authorized to do all
possible damage to the enemy's ship
receive as a reward large share Of
the property captured. 1t was a sort
of licensed piracy demanded by the
times, and those engaged in the busi-
ness made large profits, The United
States, in the days when 1t had neith-
err the money nor facilities for creating
navy, was forced to rely upon priva-
teers for execution upon the sea, and
the laws under which Dewey and his
men are now claiming prize money are
the outgrowth of the footing privileges
accorded private shipmasters.
But the times have changed. The
pillage which disgraced former wars is
now discountenanced. Among civilized

A Splendid Record.

The condition Of the public health of
Seattle. as shown by a death rate of
less than 8 per 1000. even when COM
puted on basis OF population lower
than reasonable estimate, challenges
comparison with any city in the, United
States Good sanitary conditions and
low death rate are advantages not to
be overlooked in the upbuilding OF
city. Probably more people are infu-
enced by such statistics in their choice
OF future home than Is generally sus-
pected
For this reason, as well as for our
own safety, 1t is important that the
recommendation of the city health on
Ger should have careful hearing, and
secure action by the council in those
particulars wherein he shows that we
are not exercising reasonable care for
the establishment and maintenance Of
sanitary conditions. DIR. McKechnie Is
competent and energetic officer. He
should have support in the effort that
he is making for improvements most
important to us all.
Drainage, sewering, the disposal OF
offal and proper inspection Of food
rnrplies are the fundamentals Of NUM-
cipal sanitation. Nature has done 30
much to help us in the first respect
that II is worse than objectionable II
pools of stagnant water remain to breed
disease in the neighborhood of resi-
dences. Sewers are obviously useless
unless house connections are made with
them. Reasonable severity In compell-
;I'g this is in order. Every city has to
undertake, soon or late, some general
method of disposIng' inoffensively OF
offal and house refuse. The matter is
as important as providing an outlet for
sewage, but is far more generally neg
lected.
In all the matters to which we have
referred 1t is exceedingly desirable to
remember that this is no longer viii
lagc. We have city's needs and should
have city's pride. Our situation and
our climate are such that the public
hes 'th of Seattle may be kept always at
higher level than that Of any COM
munity of equal size in the United
States. The recommendations Of DR..
McKechnie should have the most care-
full hearing, and city sanitation receive
a larger share of official care than has
fallen to it's lot hitherto.
