San Francisco Chronicle.
As result of the anti.mosquito crusade
of DIR. OsNaldo Cruz, head of the Rio
Janeiro Health Board, who persuaded the
Brazilian Congress to appropriate 81 $780,
600 for the systematic determination of
the insect pest, that city has now abol-

tons and vessels with cases of yellow fever
on board will hereafter be simply disin-

Cruz directed the operations for 1900 men
specially employed IN destroying the lar
vac of the mosquito in their breeding
places in and around the city, and as re-
suit only nine cases of elbow fever devel-
Oped in the midsummer months of Janu-
airy and February, as against 275 cases in
the same months in 1908. In the period
from 1850 to 1896 81 800 deaths occurred
in Rio Janeiro from this disease, and at
times as many as 1000 patients have been
cared for in the isolation hospital, which Is
now closed. The benefits of the war waged
on the mosquito at Rio Janeiro have been
as great as those obtained at Havana.

Parker Losing Strength.

New York Tribune.
The Parker canvass is beginning to sag.
Three weeks ago the Esopus statesman
was being hailed by Democrats from
Maine to Texas as the man of destiny.
If his opinions on live political issues
could only be guessed at, still that made it
all the easier for Democrats whose own
political interests and opinions were as
divergent as the poles to support him.
Then the Albany platform was conceived
and formulated. It's revival of the Jetler-
sonian theory of State rights and its at
tempt to use that theory to defeat all
Federal interference with the operation OF
chartered trusts naturally puzzled
and astounded those Democrats-andt they
undoubtedly constitute large majority OF
of the party-who sincerely believe in
stretching to the limit the nations power
to deal with combinations in restraint of
trade.
AS the real meaning of the Albany
platform has become apparent, Judge
Psrker's availability as a Presidential can
didate has declined.

Congress Not Extravagant
Providence Journal.

Providence Journal.
AS shown in the discussion in the clos
ing hours of the session, there is no diff
Guilty in refuting the charge that Congress
has been extravagant in its appropria-
lions. 1t is impossible to put finger upon
any large item of needless and wasteful
expenditure. Doubtless small economies
might have been practiced here and there
without seriously impairing the ability of
the Government to discharge the duties
that are incumbent upon it, but no mate
rally smaller sum would have suficed to
meet necessary expenses under present
conditions. The growth OF the nation and
the new responsibilities that have fallen to
it have already put out of date the late
Speaker Reeds famous justification for
billion dollar appropriations. Ours is more
than a billion dollar country now, and it
takes more than that amount of money to
pay the perfectly legitimate costs of carry
ing on it's public business.

FREE TRADE IN ENGLAND
The Chamberlain Campaign Not Aban-
dOned-A Bed Showing
new York Tribune.

New York Tribune.
The temporary lull in Great Britain does
not mean abandonment, or even suspen-
sion, of the campaign of education which
Mr.. Chamberlain is directing. On the
contrary, that is being pushed in most
effective manner. The appeal is made, as
Mr.. Chamberlain seidit would be, chiefly
to the working people of the United King
dom. A recent article in 1.-The Fortnight
" Review" by that accomplished analyst
of statistics, MIR. John II olt Schooling, in
dicates the directness and strength of the
appeal. lie discusses occupation as a test
of prosperity, rightly holding that remun-
erative employment means prosperity,
and lack of it means hard times and in
dustrla decline. Now, of the nine chief
manufacturing industries there have In
five been an increase, and in four a de-
crease, in numbers employed, in the twen-
tv wears from 1881 to 1901. In all there
has been an increase of $1,000, or nearly D
per cent. Therefore, say the free traders
prosperity is increasing. Not so, replies
Mr.. Schooling, for in those twenty years
there has been an increase of population
of 25 per cent. With % per cent. increase
of population and only 6 per cent increase
of employment, it is evident that the pre-
portion of persons employed has de-
creased, and that the number of those left
idle has increased. Instead of the $780,
600 at work in the nine leading manufac-
turing trades, there should be 1852 ,OOO'
and would be if the number had incl eased
commensurately with the population. In
stead of gain of $4,000, there has really
been loss of $4,000.

Texas Promises More Cotton
Houston Post.

Houston Post.
So far from being doomed as a cotton
State, we have reason to believe that cot
ton production in Texas is in its infancy.
New methods made necessary by the wee
vii result in larger production, even With
the presence of the weevil, and when
these methods become universal in Texas.
go far from going out of the business, we
may look for still greater production. If
prices range from ten to twelve cents a
pound for the next crop, grand old Texas
will have the goods to get from $3.50, OOO,-
600 to $2OO,OOO,OOO worth, despite the
direful predictions of our esteemed Attain
ia contemporary and Mr.. Inman.
