a TRIBUTE TO mEAcHAM.

n Fan c. WORCESTER, secretary Of
y the interior OF the insular govern
ment, in his report to the Philippine
commission for the year 1902, gives
some interesting details of the work of
the late DR.. franklin r. Meacham, who
lived for some time in Salt Lake City
and who is well remembered by hun
dreds who knew and liked him. To DR..
Meacham Mr.. Worcester gives all the
credit for stamping out an epidemic OF
bubonic plague in Manila and making
a recurrence Of the disease impossible.
It was DR.. Meacham, according to
the report. who laid down the principle
in Manila that rats were responsible
for the spread of the plague. Working
on this theory, he began a crusade
against the rats. Plague houses were
thoroughly disinfected, says the report,
and their owners were compelled, I'M
der the direction of DR.. Meacham, who
was chief health Inspector, to make nee
essary alterations.
These included the laying of cement
ground floors, double walls and ceilings
We're removed, plumbing defects rem
edied and nothing calculated to make
the buildings safe for human occu-
pancy was left undone. In cases where
alterations were Impossible, the build
ings were destroyed. Almost without
exception the buildings treated after
DR.. Meachan.'s specifications remained
free from the plague.
Continuing. Mr.. Worcester says:
Especial credit is due to Chief Health
Inspector Meacham for the ingenuity
which he displayed in devising means
for the destruction Of rats ard for the
tireiess energy with which he devoted
himself to securing their adoption.
During one month $3.50 traps
were set and 403.789 plates of rat bane
placed by the rat-catching squads, who
had special uniform and cap. It is
estimated that several hundred thou
sanG rats were killed by the poison:
500 houses were remodeled, cleaned and
made habitable, and hundreds of shacks
Were burned to the ground.
The work was begun early in January
and in April it was all finished. Not
only Manila, but the provinces. were
freed from bub0nic plague, and il has
not since reappeared in any great ex-
tent. In conclusion. the report says:
This long tight without rest day or
night had told on DR.. Meacham When
the battle was over and the plague had
been driven from its last haunt, he col
lapsed. His strength was exhausted,
he was unable TO fight for himself, and
died on April II. 1902. It is. unfortunate
for the United States that the man who
freed the Philippines Of bubonic plague,
DR.. Franklin r. Meacham. and the man
who freed Cuba OF yellow fever, Dr.
Walter Reed, should both pass away
the very moment their great work had.

Is something so despicable in the
thought that any people can be so base
as 10 shoot down defenseless, unaTmed
men from ambush that the whole state
must suffer from the stigma. From
time immemOrial, when thoroughbred
kentucky gentlemen had grievances
against one another, the warning was
sent so that both men had an oppor-
tunity to prepare.
Cases are on record where men fought
street duels with the same deadly DELHI

honor in the early days of the last cen
fury. It was not a case of the quickest

AUDITOR REIsER AGAIN.

M r. REISER has again demon
W strated our theory that he would
make a hit attached to an organ grind
er's string. From time to time we
have had occasion to comment on the
breezy self-assurance, the unqualified,
marvellous egOtism of this young man,
but he has capped the climax with his
statement Of the reasons why he re
fused to draw a warrant for the $500
appropriated by the council out Of the
mayors contingent fund as a reward
for Patrolman Heath for the excep-
tional bravery displayed by that Of
fcer IN connection. with a memorable
pursuit Of highwaymen some months
ago.
1T is clearly held to be illegal and
against public policy to reward an Of
ficer for performing his duty" says
this astute watchdog Of the treasury,
discussing the fact tEa5 Mayor Thomp-
sons ord p for the $500 specified that
it was for ''meritorious services" BY
whom has it been held to be 'inegaI
and against public policy" to recOg-
nize the work of brave men, even
though it is performed in the line Of
duty? Certainly not by the govern
ment to which Reiser owes allegiance,
nor by any other government
Commodore George Dewey did MOTH
ing but his duty when he pushed his
fleet into Manila bay and destroyed
the Spanish ships. Hobson did moth
ing but his duty when he sank the
AIerrimac at the entrance to Santiago
harbor. Yet these men were rewarded
BY their government in a manner most
substantial. And from the beginning
of the government, not only this gov
eminent. but al governments, men
have been rewarded for doing their
duty. It is a well esta blished principle
that exec etional merit is entitled to
exceptional recognition. Reiser to the
contrary Notwithstanding.
His bubble over the form Of the
mayors order would be entirely I'M
worthy of the average peanut poll
tician, but it is entirely in line with
Reiser's idea OF what his powers are.
As a matter of fact he had no author
ity whatever to refuse TO give Heath
the money he 50 wei deserved 1t was
for the purpose Of avoiding any DIFF
GeGiCy that he might raise that the
appropriation was made from the may
Or's contingent fund instead Of from
the genera fund.
The mayor, not Reiser, who seems TO
imagine the entire burden Of the city
is on his shoulders. is responsible for
the contingent fund. He may draw it
as he pleases and how he pleases and
as long as there is a cent in the fund.
Then he is accountable to the council,
not to the city auditor. Reasoned down
to the last analysis. we are forced to
conclude that Reiser is a dogmatic ass
who, clothed with a little brief au-
thority. has come to believe the people
look TO him TO save them from all the
evils jewellers in municipalities are
heir to.
we are perfectly we'll aware Of the
fact that nothing we can say viii

for the impossible, but it is worth

BUSINESS FAILURES.

DUN'S REVIEW Of business condf-
u tons for the month of April lacks
a good deal of showing as favora bic
conditions, generally speaking, as for
the same month last year. This year
there were more than 100 fewer fail
ures, but the aggregate liability
considerably heavier. This is ac-
counted for in part by several excep-
tionally big failures. but all Of the in
crease cannot be explained in this way
The report says:
Exclusive OF banking and railway
insolveneies. all strictly commercial
defaults during April numbered $50.
with liabilities of S11,S11, 967, compared
with $50 in the same month OF 1902,
when the defaulted Indebtedness
reached only $7,359,341 In manufactUr-
ing lines there were PIP failures for So
1885,, 295, as against 220 last year with
liabilities Of s2,9O8,s17. Trading bank
ruptcies were 492 in number and "a, 1885,
$50 in amount, which compares with
$50 failures involving 50, 947455 a year
ago. In other commercial lines, not
properly included among manufactur-
ers or traders, there were forty-six de-
faults with liabilities of S82s. or, as
compared with ffty-five failures for
$500. O69 last year.
Tt is possible that the stringency in
the money market during the spring
had something to do with the increase
in liabilities. In these days of cOmpe-
misunderstanding trusts a great many
firms are compelled to conduct their
business on very close margins. IN
der the most favorable circumstances
il is all they can do to keep above wa
ter. and the moment the money market
tightens they suffer. The trusts have
no trouble in raising as much money
as they need, and at lower rates Of
interest. while the smaller fry are
often unable 10 get money at all, no
matter what interest or security they
offer.
The figures indicate a gradual wip-
ing out of competition. Last year the
liabilities were smaller, but the total
number of failures was larger. The
little fellows were being destroyed.
This year, with a larger liability total,
the number of individual sufferers IS
smaller That is, having overcome the
little fellows, who are always the first
sufferers, the trusts are encroaching
on the domains of the larger corpora
tons, either absorbing them or driving
them out OF business.
