The government official who works

The chancellor quoted Herbert
Spencer's statement shortly before his
death to French friend, in which the
famous philosopher said that as the
result of his eighty years of observa-
ton, it was his belief that the triumph
of Socialism would be the greatest dis
aster that could befall civilization and
that if it triumphed it would soon be
displaced by a military dictatorship.
Il do not believe that Socialism will
triumph" said the Chancellor, "and
l am convinced that the common sense
of the German people, the solidity of
our institutions, the patriotism of all
civil parties, and the intelligence, and
decision of the crown, and its advisers
will ward off such a disaster. But if
you should succeed, then there would
happen what Herbert Spencer predict
ed, and the present order of things
would give place to a most savage

From the Maryland Medical Journal.
Does sanitation pay? The very best

sibly be given consists of an unvar-
nished citation of the object lesson at
forded by Havana under American mill
itary administration. When the
United States army pushed the shift
less, thriftless and dirty Spaniards off
the island. tumbled them in any old
tubs that could be hired to float them
back to their benighted, back numbered
country, they found a city that had
practically been a fruitful focus for til e
dissemination of all the. infectious dis
eases that are fostered by tropic heat
in conjunction with human negligence
and want of hygienic decency. There
we're no efficient sewers; sewage ran in
open cutters or stood in stagnant pools
on top OF the ground throughout the
city. Yellow fever and smallpox were
annually epidemic and the death rate
exceeded $4,000 every year.
The first step of the army officers on
taking possession was to establish a
system of municipal sanitation. The
natives were harnessed for the work
and under compulsion and proper SUI
pervision soon revolutionized the sit
uation. Sewers We're constructed,
streets and cesspools were cleaned, the
latter being abolished. the water sup
ply was looked after and, lastly, the
perennial crop of disease bearing mos
quitoes were attacked right and left
and what is the result? Malarial dis
eases have become much more rare
and of a milder type than has ever
been known in the region there has
not been a case of smallpox for more
than a year and half, and yellow
fever has been practically abolished.

that some person is undertaking to

fact that the evidence is not publish

General Day, and covers 1870 printed
pages The brief enters into the fol-
lowing specifications as to the reasons
for the action:
First. The lines of railway operated
by the defendants, the Great Northern
Railway Company and Northern Pa
cific Railway Company are parallel
and competing.
Second. That the combination is in
restraint of interstate commerce and
a monopoly.
The Attorney General in the course
of his brief says
cit borders on absurdity to say that
two railway corporations which, under
normal conditions, are naturally com
petitors for traffic will continue to
compete in any real sense after both
become subject to the same source OF
control IT is not in the interest of
the stockholders of the Securities com
pany that one Of these railways should
prosper at the expense Of the other.

FIREMEN FOUGHT FIRE
IN THE BITTER COLD.

Pittsburg, Pa, Dec. 14.-After an
exciting fight of four hours in the bit
ter cold to-day, firemen subdued one
of the most stubborn and dangerous
fires the department has been called
upon to handle for some time.
Spontaneous combustion is the only
cause given for the fire, which was
first discovered on the seventh floor
of the Arrott Power Building, located
between Pennsylvania avenue and Du
Quesne Way and between Sixth and
Seventh streets. The loss will reach
at least $780, 900.
Two tiremen were badly burned. The
Alvin and Bijou theaters were separat-
ed in the rear from the Arrott building
only by a twenty foot alley, and while
the fire was burning a matinee per-
Torrance was in progress in the Bijou.
A panic was averted by the manager
of the theater quietly explaining the
situation to the audience, and asking
the people to leave the house without
undue haste, as there was no present
danger.
