A government report shows that the
ravages of consumption are decreasing
throughout the country. Slowly, but
surely, the plague for which it was
thought there was no cure is giving
way before the energetic and persist
ent attacks of science With the dis
coveries and remedies that have been
made, and the bringing abonut of bet
ter public sanitary conditions. both by
popular education on the subject and
by civic ordinances, there is hope that
the next generation will no longer have
reason to look upon this terrible dis
ease as inevitable doom past human
aid.

The death of Maj. Zalinski recalls
his dynamite gun and the cruiser We,

menacing tubes were installed. 1t was

be accused of having made a tremen.
dously heroic defense of that city. The
fact is, the Vesuvius was more dreaded
by the men who were assigned to her
than she was by enemies toward which
her tubes were pointed, because sailors
do not care to 'go shipmates" with
stocks of dynamite.

The statement that there are four OF
five men among Boston's aged city
employees who are in such condition
that their wives lead them to work in
the morning and call for them and take
them home at night is pitiful, especial
1y when it is taken in connection with
the statement that oftentimes husky
son will be found living on an aged
father, and again grandchildren are
being maintained by the city employe
who feels obliged to keep up the at,
tempt at work. Until pension system
Is devised it would seem to be a good
policy for the city to put the husky
BOZ to work and compel him to support
the aged father, who has earned q rest
after many years of labor.

Andrew Carnegie's peace proposal
that the United States defend British
ports on the Atlantic coast in return
for similar compliment on the Pacific
coast, and in Hawaii and the Philip
pines, amounts, says the Milwaukee
Evening Wisconsin, practically to a
merging of the naval power of the two
nations and the formation of a navy
that would be large enough to provide
fleets galore for defense purposes. Mr..
Carnegie is quite as interesting in this
as he was in the recent tariff inquiry.

No Liquor on Trains

No more may dining cars on Iowa
trains sell intoxicating liquors. The
house of representatives passed the
senate bill prohibiting drinking on
trains and in the opinion of attorneys
in the legislature the act puts quiet
us to the sale of liquor in dining cars
for consumption while on the train.
John Sullivan sought to have the
law amended to give members of the
train crew the power to act as officers
and arrest offenders, but this was lost
and they are only permitted to eject
Offenders from the train and call upon
local officers to take them into Gus
tody.
