Months of dily dallying and coaxing

Cuba as a Precedent.

TN THE last report of Major
Gorgas, health officer of Havana
l. under the American regime,
some decidedly interesting COM
parsons of sanitary conditions at the
beginning and at the end of American
occupation are made. For example:
The number of deaths in the city OF
Havana in April, 1898, was 1889; the
death rate was 71.SS per cent. In April,
1902. there We're 400 deaths, death rate
of 2177. In April, 1898, there We're for
ty-nine deaths from malaria; in April,
1902, eight deaths occurred from this
disease. In April, 1902, there We're no
cases and no deaths of either yellow
fever or smallpox In the city. These
two diseases had for generations
ranked among the principal causes of
death.
The total number of deaths for the
year 1898 was 2l,252, giving death rate
Of 91.53; for 1899. the total number of
deaths was S,153, a rate of 1867 for
1900, 6,102 deaths, a rate of 24.4O; for
1901, 5.720, a rate of 22.11. For the first
.our months of 1902 there We're 1886
which would give for the, year
5,6SS deaths. a rate of s0.6S. This indi-
ca tcs forcibly the steadily improving
sanitary conditions under American
rule. M
The last case of yellow fever reported
was in September, 1901. In the twelve
gears prior to American occupation
yellow fever deaths in Havana aver
,ged nearly 500 year. In the last
rear of American occupation there We're

Pattison to the Slaughter.
THE WITHDRAWAL of Con
gressman Hall as candi
date for the Democrat,

\1E WITHDRAWAL OIL Con-
gressman Hall as a candi-
Il date for the Democratic
nomination for governor
clears the way for the Erie convention
to nominate Pattison and Guthrie.
This, it is announced, has already been
decided upon by a conference of DEM
ocratic leaders. The third place on the
ticket is to be filled by the nomination
for secretary of internal affairs of Har-
risburg's popular young Democratic
mayor, Vance Mccormick, a vote VIM
ner of admitted ability. The platform
is to bristle with denunciation and re-
form.
Mr.. Pattison has unquestionably a
large place in the esteem of indepen-
dent voters. Personally he is likable
and popular. There is no doubt as to
his sincerity in wishing to improve po-
litical conditions in Pennsylvania. His
worst handicap is his party. 1t has
lost public confidence. The men who
control it are reformers by profession
alone. Their words and their works do
not harmonize. They are not to be
trusted. They would not support Pat
tison in reform measures if he and a
Democratic legislature should be elect
ed. They are tarred with every defile-
ment which they allege concerning the
dominant influences in the Republican
party, and they lack Senator Quay's
shrewdness.
From Republican standpoint we are
heartily in favor of the nomination of
Pattison, for it would send thousands
of Democratic votes into the Republi-
can fold especially in Philadelphia; :;
and it would take very few Republican
votes away from Judge Pennypacker.
No Republican eager for reform would,
after carefully reviewing the conditions.
prefer Pattison to Pennypacker. And
certainly no stalwart Republican, how
ever dissatisfied with the work of the
Harrisburg convention, would be at
tracted to Pattison's side.
We have no doubt that Pattison is to
be put up so that Colonel Guffey may
trade him off for votes for the Demo-
cratic legislative ticket. Guffy wants
to be United States senator in place of
Penrose. Capture Of the Legislature is
the objective point of the Guffy organi-
Zation, which controls absolutely the
machinery OF the Democratic party in
this state. But Republicans will have
something to say about that. They are
not acquiescent in any scheme to mis-
represent their commonwealth at
Washington.

~ UR SALES to Canada continue
to increase in spite Of her
~ one-third preferential tariff in
favor of Great Britain. Dur
ing the nine months of this fiscal year,
British North America showed larger
increase in purchases from us than any
other political division Of America,
compared with the corresponding peri
DDS Of 1900 and 1901, the figures being,
according to the treasury bureau of
statistics:
First nine months of 1900. $50, 163 ,595
First nine months of 1901. 1884. .13S
First nine months of 1907. 81, 993, ,0Oi
showing a good and steady increase.
In comparison. our sales to Mexico,
in the same period, increased only
$2,O00OO0, and to the West Indies only
$1,000. 900, while with the Central Ameri-
can states we show a decrease Of $780,
900, and with the South American coun-
tries we have to deplore the enormous
decreases of $4,0OO,OOO, as compared with
the same months of 1901.
Comparing 1897 (nine months) with
1902 (nine months), the increase in Ca
madam trade is very large. about rs per
cent, the figures being $46,752.95S
against $685. 0O4. This is notable in
asmuch as it was in April 1, 1897, that
Canada made her first preferential of
raising 1t to 33 1-3 per cent. on July
/, 1900.
The conclusion drawn from these fig
ures by some economic writer's, among
them that well-informed Tribune con-
tributor, Walter j. Ballard, is that we
do not need reciprocity with Canada to
keep up the volume of our sales to the
dominion. "The fact is" Mr.. Ballard
writes, "that the Canadians want and
will buy, American goods, tariff wall
or no tariff wall. Such wall can no
more keep us out, than could the walls
of Pekin keep out American soldiers
when they determined to enter the
Forbidden City. We simply climb over
or tunnel under. Another and much
stronger reason why we do not need a
reciprocity treaty with Canada, on
equal terms, that is, article for ar
ticle. is that the dominion can only
offer us a very slowly growing market
of five million people in exchange for
a rapidly increasing market of eighty
million people,"
We cannot perceive the logic in such
a conclusion. That our trade with Cam
ada Is growing In spite of the prefer
entail tariff given by Canada to Eng
land Is fortunate circumstance. upon
which we may properly congratulate
ourselves. But 1t does not follow that

"Estimated from ten mnoths.

there is a constant increase of about

year following, so that the average annual
increase for the four years from 1893 to
