PURE WATER AND ICE.

The Brooklyn Eagle points out that one of the prime causes of typhoid fever in some of the large cities is to be found in the ice. It shows that drinking water may be made practical ly pure by boiling 1t. but that such precautions may be rendered useless by cooling the water with Ice made from germ laden water. No doubt there is much force in The Eagles argument. germs would be killed or rendered harmless by freezing them is no longer tenable, as has been too thoroughly proven for any doubt to exist. So it Is that if ice is manufactured from water that is loaded with disease germs caution if the water Is afterwards cooled with ice containing germs. for they will become active as soon as they are released by the melting of the ice
 Just how long germs of any disease will live encased In a block of ice Is not known, so far as we know, but that they are not killed by freezing Is now too well established to be considered doubtful. So 1t is that in towns and cities where the water supply is badly polluted the only safe plan appears to be to boil the drinking water thorough ly and use the same precautions with the water from which the ice Is made. or else adopt some method of cooling the water without allowing 1t to come in contact with the ice. With all the care and precautions that can be adopted the fight against disease Is con- tinuous and hard. Unfortunately the water and ice supply of all cities is not ike that of Montgomery. where both are pure.

THURSDAY, AUGUST II, 1905.
ONE GOOD RESULT.

For the future the word yellow fever ought not to have so much of terror for the people of Montgomery. Indeed, our recent. experience ought to have re-assuring effect upon all, who will calmly reflect, always of course except ing the terrified crowd, responsible for the uncalled for conduct of Birmingham and Jefferson County. They are be- yond the pale of reason, and all hope of their displaying anything like trust n the assertions of those in better posi- tion to know what is best might as well be abandoned.
 The Board of Health of Alabama has the keeping off of contagious and in- fectious diseases especially in charge. Under their advice the State of Ala bama was quarantined against the city of New Orlenas and other points which were regarded as dangerous. Its mem bership will compare favorably in point of ability and scientific knowledge with any other similar body of men. Some of its members live in Birmingham, and without positive knowledge as to their views, we venture they were opposed to the senseless quarantine established first by Birmingham and then by Jeff ferson County against Montgomery County.
 In spite of the fact that the State Board of Health declared that the one imported Isolated case of yellow fever here was no source of danger. and that no quarantines should be established against Montgomery, a majority of the Birmingham Board ordered the gates of that city shut tight against not only this city, but against the entire county. The limits of the county extend nearly forty miles south of the city, yet so terrified were the so-called health guardians of that city. that they were unwilling to allow any one from any part of the capital county to enter its portals. The physicians of Mobile and Selma are the equals in every respect of those of Birmingham and they advised against quarantining Montgomery and their advice was followed.
 Leaving all this aside. however. we get back to our original proposition that hereafter Montgomery people ought to feel treasured and not be frightened at the mention of the word yellow fever. It has been amply demonstrated that case can come here and not spread to any one else. It shows that there are no causes here to give life to the disease, that 1t is not breeding place for yellow fever and that our general health conditions are such as to amount to a positive pro- lection. Tn this respect at least the advent of Minhinnett will do good Montgomery people have learned that there is no need to run away from home. because of an accidental imported case of yellow fever appearing here. Quarantines have all been removed and everything Is moving along in the usual beaten paths.

 The Sun falls into the somewhat prevalent error of taking 1t for grant ed that the negro was the only draw back to the Republican party. when, as matter of fact, he was merely one of a number of mill-stones strung about its neck. Take the case of North Carolina for Instance. No we'll Inform cd man of unpretudtced mind will deny that the good of the State and coun- try demands two strong parties here. as In every other section. yet there Is no disposition to even hope that any thing good Is to come out of the pres ent Republican organization. It Is so welded to its idols of ofiice- holding and general graft that 1t cannot command the confidence of the people. As q matter of fact. the Republican party in the South cannot grow from the pres ing ing soiia to build en. No. the n.Erc kept men who would naturally have Joined 1t aloof; 1t must be changed from beginning to end before 1t can become a factor in any Southern State, no matter how badly an opposition party is needed. As a matter of fact, artificial conditions have much to do with holding the Democratic party toe gether, but these conditions are creat- ed by the nisdeeds of the Republican party.

strange to us to hear of people being punished for spsaking disrsspeetfuliy of . ruler or of his acts. In Prussia recently an old schooi-teacher was heard to criticise some action of the Kaiser and for that he was sentenced to four months imprisonment When application was made for a pardon the Kaiser remarked that Tt is against my principles and the welfare of the Kingdom of Prussia to grant pardon for leze majesty" While that sounds silly to us 1t probably does not to the subjects Of dsspotism.
