Washington TO every city and county
physician, every health officer. and every
responsible head of a hospital il the
country, has brought 200 replies, from
which information has been gathered that
an alarming number Of cases of leprOsy
exists in the United States, chiefly among
foreigners An act for the suppression
and prevention OF Ieprosy has been pre-
scented to Congress through Representa-
tive Wanger of Pennsylvania, endorsed
BY the Philadelphia and Pennsylvania
state Boards OF Health This bill, which
was first submitted 10 the State Boards
Of Health of Maine, Massa chusetts, Ohio,
Minnesota, Louisiana, and other States
and which was approved by most of
them, proposes to remove the care Of Iep-
ers from the State boards Of health, and
includes the appointment Of d single com
missioner on leprosy and emigration laws
especially against countries known to be
leprous. By its provisions every State
board is privilsged-not c0mpeIled-to
turn over its lepers to the National Com
mission. The mixed isolation law Of DIT

lows some leDerS to remain in their

readily realized them On Sunday Sala-

that Salamanca got into some trouble in

that he was d member of d secret so

that the dead man may be the victim of

The figures cover the period of the heated

A measure is under consideration in
the British House Of Lords for the
amending Of the Kings coronation oath
As 1t now stands II binds the sovereign
strongly and IL express terms against
the Roman Catholic Church and creed
Naturally enough, this is highly often
sive TO the millions Of Catholic subjects
Of the Empire, and there have been
strong and persistent demands that the
wording Of the oath be changed. A
committee Of the House Of Lords has
been at work upon a revision, but If
we can judge by the meagre outline
contained in the dispatches the new
form VIII be quite as Objectionable to
many people as the old one was.
There is 10 good reason hy this
should be. The matter IS a simple one
and can easily be adjusted. Let every
thing Of d sectaris character be left
out, and if everybody is not satisfied
everybody should be Whatever may
be said with reference to the propriety
Of the oath at the time II was pre-
scribed there is absolutely nothing 70 be
said IN favor Of il under the conditions
which now prevail If the oath IS 10 be
changed at all it should be done in such
way as to remove every possible ground
for just objection. The King should be
required to take an oath to support, up
hold, and defend the constitution and
the laws. and not be put into the posi-
ton, even nominally, of directly artag-
onizing the religion of q considerable
element Of the British population
We are living in the twentieth cen
tlITy now, and there IS no point in keep
ing alive the religious animosities OF
