Maryland and Malaria.

A statement was recently made by the Bal
timore Morning Herald that Baltimore was
the most malarial city in the United States,
and that the reason Maryland did not receive
more settlers was because malaria prevailed to
an abnormal extent in the greater part of its
area. In various forms and degrees these
accusations against Baltimore and Maryland
are made and published. They do harm,
Notwithstanding that they are untrue. In Or
der to obtain the exact facts the Morning
Herald put the matter before DR.. John ).
Fulton, the very capable Secretary of the
State Board of Health to which he replied:
Baltimore in former days was often said
by her own citizens to be "malariaT' city,
but never heard before that Baltimore is the
most malarial city in the United States. Some
of the best studies ever made in America on
the subject ofmalaria, have been made in Bal
timore The material for study is not abun-
dant but the special students are here. 50
far as the disease is concerned these studies
could have been made just as well IN New
York or Boston, and in many Southern and
Western cities material for such studies Is
vastly mere abundant.
The figures of the United States census for
1900 show that out of every 1000 deaths re-
ported IN each Of the following four cities
there were charged to malaria in New Or
leans 81, in St. Louis y, in Boston 6, in Bal
timure 8. The whole rumber of deaths
charged to malaria ia the four cities was as
follows: New Orleans 227. ST. Louis l24.
Boston 81, Baltimore So.
Ask any uo-to date physician if he believes
that fifty eight persons ever died in Baltimore
in any year from malaria, and he will tell you
that in this city of 500, 600 inhabitants there IS
net enough malaria to kill tifty people IN
twenty five years. | have seen IN my protes.
sional life but two deaths from malaria. both
sailors who were infected in the West Indies.
Here, and in Boston also the death rate from
malaria represents an ancient delusiou which
clngS to the minds of a few half,educsted ply
sicians. The deaths are really due TO causes
which the doctors fail to recognize.
In Maryland, outside If Baltimore, malarIa
claims rank among causes Of death equal to
that OF Boston six IN each one thousand
deaths. Malaria l.. however. 81 cause OF SICK
ness in several paris Of Maryland. These
areas are pretty well known, and correspond
To the distribution uf the auophel~s mosquito.
Two such areas are found within twenty miles
Of Baltimore city. aud practically Sll the cases
which form the basis Of the excellent studies
made here came from one one or the other OF
these two areas.
There is no profit. however. in comparing
Maryland with other States. nor any satistac-
ton ID The evidence tina, We have less malaria
than our neighborS. The death records seem
to give us a decided advantage. bnt 10 Mary
land aud everywhere else along the Atlantic
coast. throughout the Mississippi belt, and on
the Gulf coast. malaria Is an Important cause
Of sickness. and ought TO be treated n a

SATURDAY, MARCH 81, 1903
The Extra Session of the Senate.

The extra session of the Senate has finished
the work for which it was called-ratlhcatlon
of the treaty of reciprocity with Cuba ana the
treaty with Columbia in reference TO the Fan
anna Canal. The treaty with Columbia was
passed by nearly unanimous vote-13 to D.
The treaty with Cuba was amended so
as to make it necessary TO have the en-
dorsement of the House of Representatives
TO make it effective. 1t was held that 1t
was a measure affecting the revenue and all
such must originate in the House. whether
the House will ratify it is matter about which
there is some doubt, as the sugar clause is
certain to meet with considerable opposition.
The Democrats proposed a number OF
amendments to the treaty with Column 6la' de-
signed to correc: admitted defects and to give
the United States ample power to police the
canal. both during its construction and alter
wards. All were voted down by strict party
vote. and then the treaty was ratified by a
unanimous vote Some OF the Republican
Senators admitted defeats in the convention,
but determined to ratify it, though 1t IS said
thew would have preferred that the Democrats
should have made stouter resistance, 50 that
the treaty could have failed The Democrats
did not propose to be placed in the attitude of
defeating tn, canal project to connect the two
oceans, so voted for ratification after empha-
sizing the defects Of the treaty and making an
effort to apply remedies by amendments.
On Thursday the Cuban Reel procity Treaty
was ratified by vote of so to Is. Thomas
Z. Bard. of California, was the ouly Republi-
can voting against the treaty. Ten Democrats
voted with the majority. The Senate accepted
an amendment providing for a so per cent.
reduction on American -four, corumeal and
corn sent into Cuba. The treaty will 90 10
the House when it meets in December.
The Senate adjourned sine die.

The Republican Party of Purity.

The Republican party Of Maryland has
passed as a purity organization ever since the
Lowndes campaign Of 1895. It has clamored
for pure ballot and primary election law.
A Democratic Legislature passed primary
election law, designed to secure absolute fair
ness in the selection of candidates and TO cor
rectly register the will Of the majority. The
Democratic party in Baltimore has adopted it
in its fullest sense. and every voter can vote
directly for the candidate of his choice. What
has the Republican Party Of Purity done?-
denied the voters Of that party the same PRIV.
ilege. and instead holds on to the convention
mode Of making nominations. At the prima
ries, instead of voters being allow to east bal
lots directly for Plat aud Waehter for Mayor
and for candidates for Comptroller aud the City
Council, they will be permitted to vote only for
delegates to convention. Should the action
ofthe voters in the primaries be not in accord
with the desires of the machine the bosses
will have chance to manipulate the dele
gates. There is big kick against the con-
yention plan, but the managers Of the Repnb-
lican Party of Purity are going steadily ahead
determined to nominate Plat and the other
machine candidates.
