The number being treated at the institu-
tions of the Metropolitan Asylums Board
is SIS. The public health committee OF
the county council has posted an urgent
appeal to all citizens to be vaecinated.
The medical officer of the County of
London declares that there are reasons
for believing that greater prevalence of
the disease is to be expected for some
time He compares the recurrence of
smallpox epidemics to great waves.
There was one in 1888, and another in
1871. He argues that another is now due,
which will probably become general
throughout the world, as did the previous
epidemics.
The patients in London are not treated
in hospital buildings, but in a number of
hospital ships, fifteen miles down the
Thames, or in shelters erected in unfre-
quented districts on the banks of the
river Houses are vigorously inspected,
and where infection has been found they
are thoroughly fumigated. and when the
diseased person is removed the other in

In spite of allgthis, there has been a
gradual and steady spread OF smallpox

Inrratitude to America.

Venezuela. Colombia, and Para
quay have produced situation that
is anything but agreeable to the
United States. With threats of chaos
in the country of Castro, slaughter
in the Paraguayan Senate, and the
danger of a rebellious attack upon
Panama. conditions in Latin America
cannot be viewed with Indifference
by the Government at Washington.
\ normal stale of affairs may be re-
stored before the United States is
called upon TO prevent bloody rioting
in Colombia, or to save Venezuela
from Teutonic encroachment; but
the insults heaped upon the Monroe
Doctrine by it's chief protoges are
enough to turn the philosopher into
the ways of pessimism.
Pan-American unity has long been
the dream of the far-sighted who
measure political results by eras and
not by elections. 1t has been hoped
that the bubbling Latin temperament

cure that racial hysteria which keeps
the infant Republics in state of tur-
moil, and makes them the prey of
degenerative influences. Hope is noa
dead, but unless there are some sur
prises ere long she will be suffering
from aneStheSia.
The universal observer will appre-
ciate this aggravated ingratitude of
the nations which, were they left
without a powerful protector, would
find themselves speedily assimilated
by the monarchical powers.
From an ethical standpoint, the
Monroe Doctrine imposes duties upon
the lesser Americas. 1t the nations
south of us can stop their brawling
long enough to appreciate their OBJ
legations, they will doubtless compre-

Washington Must Progress.

Washington will not stand still.
Washington cannot go backward. The
alternative: Washington must go for
ward.
How shall the money be obtained
for the purpose of meeting the eX-
pense of advancement? Some earn
est men have replied: By issue of
bonds. The combined intelligence of
the Districts citizens associations
vetoes The proposition and suggests:
Congress should be asked to advance
the necessary millions, to be paid
back into the National Treasury in Il
series of annual installments.
As soon as the Park Commission re
port has been submitted, the amounts
to be apportioned for the several
pending municipal enterprises VIII be
determined, and the whole plan EN-
bodied in a bill to be presented TO
Congress.
1t is un lerstooj that the District
authorities approve the loan plan, in
yolying the scheme for repayment In
yearly sums to be specified.
The majority of Washingtonians
have little choice in the methods 70

tai so long as the. line of procedure
adopted is founded upon reasonable
and equitable principles.
The main object is to get the
money. Without funds, treasured
projects will languish or stagnate, and
the Capital will, in certain sense, be-
come as much of a spectacle as the
Panama fiasco-containing here and
there the foundations of halted proj-
ects, monuments IL the era when
enterprise was stricken @ith paraly-
sis.
But for Washington this repulsive
picture VIII never be painted. There
is an abundance of local patriotism
and energy.
Washington will not stand still
Washington cannot go backward. The
ALTERNATIVES: Washington must pro
gress.
