far the constituencies that have voted
have been of pronounced unionist ten
dency, while the liberals have yet to
draw upon districts that are solidly IA
vorable to them and 1t is still the eX-
pectaton of the party leaders that they
will maintain a slight majority over all
in the commons. Should this expectation
prove futile. however. leaving the liberals
only plurality party. the labor mem
bers will have acquired a greater prestige
than ever before. Still 1T is to be borne
in mind that the appeal to the country.
while apparently sure to result in a con-
tinuance of the coalition ministry in
power, has not evoked any vociferous
response on the subject of the curbing
of the lords. IT is true that the issues
have been greatly complicated, especial
~ during the latter part of the CAM
paign. by the injection of the protection
list proposition and the re-entry of Jo-
seph Chamberlain upon the scene by
means of strong tariff reform letter.
Yet even with the coalition strength in
commons reduced the government party
will probably still have a sufficient ma
jority to warrant 1t in continuing its
demand for budget reforms. with an I'M
mstakable commission to insist upon the
right Of the commons to dictate financial
legislation Irrespective OF the upper
chamber.

Changing Inauguration Date.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Unexpectedly and rather unfortunately
the House of Representatives took what
seems to be adverse action on the pro-
posal to change the date OF the inaugu.
ration OF President and Vice President
and the beginning of congressional terms
saturday last. :. 1t appears that this de-
clsion. however, was not on the merits
OF the case. but was the result of a
night between two committees of the
House as to which should stand sponsor
for the measure. The bill has been re-
committed and it is stated on what we
trust is good authority that a new and
better measure will soon be reported ont
and pass the House without substantial
Opposition.
Just why there should be any opposi-
ton at all. and especially in Washing
ton. is difficult to understand Most OF
the members of the present Congress
were in Washington on the 4tIr of last
March and they are not likely 10 forget
that day for the rest of their lives If
they still oppose change it must be
because they think that risks Of snow
storm are good for the nation so that
the law OF survival OF the fittest NAV be
put to its strongest test. So far one
President has died from exposure March
4. and d lot Of lesser Statesmen have
either died OF suffered terribly from pneu-
monia. Last March ought 10 serve as q
warning and incentive to prompt action.

JOAQUIN Nabuco.

Seldom has a man in coming to Wash
ington to represent foreign government
at this capital so quickly won the
hearts and the confidence of those whom
he met officially and socially as did Senior
Nabuco, the ambassador from Brazil. The
announcement of his death yesterday
came as a shocking surprise. Few had
known that he was in ill health. In all his
recent appearances in public he had given
evidences of strength which promised a
long life. Joaquin Nabuco was emf
nently fitted for the diplomatic role. He
possessed exceptional qualities for the
winning of friends. His gentle manner
his unfailing courtesy. his ability to APP
preciate the point of view Of others. his
and tact and above all,
his intelligent grasp Of all questions that
were presented to him equipped him for
a highly successful career. In his work
in Washington he wrought for the es-
Establishment or sound relations between
the United States and the great republic
Of South America. The two governments
have always been in harmony, largely
through the care that has been shown in

Southern Progress.
From the Boston Transcript.

from tne boston 1ranScr1pt.
Before the war" is still in many parts
of the south the period OF milk and
honey. of gold and grandeur. In Charles
ton the northern tourist is often told that
he should have seen that city in 1860 to
realize the difference between it's past and
It's present The tourist hears stories of
profusion when a ten-dollar bill was no
more than withered leaf: and Charles
ton was gay metropolis. Now comes
the News and Courier, In a special edition
reviewing the progress of the city in the
last half century. and shows that there Is
far more money in Charleston than there
was before the war. The capital invested
in industrial enterprises is nearly Sill
OOO.UCO or seven times what it was in
1860. and the amount of annual wages of
industrial workers has increased proper
tionately. Capital generally is much
larger than in the Charleston of 1860.
which pinned it's faith on cotton. What
Is true of Charleston is true Of most
southern cities. With the abolition of
slavery came emancipation of industry,
by which they all have profited.

The States and Public Health.

The report that President Taft is con-
templating the submission of message
to Congress recommending the consolida-
ton of various government bureaus and
agencies dealing with the public health
comes at an opporune time. while con-
ferences are in progress in this city look
ing to the unification of state laws on
all subjects relating to the welfare of
the people. The government can at pres
cnt reach only a short distance In the
regulation of conditions affecting the pub
lie health. Yet sanitation is essentially a
national question. 1t is impossible to
draw state boundary lines As barriers to
disease. No shotgun quarantine was
ever really effective in stamping out an
epidemic.
So much has been learned during recent
years regarding the nature of epidemic
diseases and the means of their trans
mission that the interstate regulation of
conditions affecting the public health is
an imperative need. Before the discov-
cries of the last two decades were made.
strictly state control might have been
considered justifiable. Now it is absurd
and dangerous. The more that is learned
in the laboratories on this subject of
becomes a perfect system of state CO.
operative laws and comprehensive
federal supervision over all.
The consolidation of the federal bureaus
and agencies contemplated by the Presi
dent is only one step in the direction of
more effective system of sanitary
regulation. If the state laws are not
made uniform in this respect and are
4, he
government can do little save within It's
own limited jurisdiction beyond the gath
ering of facts and the deduction from
them of general principles. State CO.
operation is necessary. for example, for
the stamping out of typhoid fever. Per-
haps in no other disease is this need so
urgent. Typhoid is largely, If not main
ly, a water-borne disease. An outbreak
in one state may affect the jewellers In
state far distant. No longer is reliance
placed in the self-purification of streams.
A single of typhoid on a watershed
is now considered as an infection center
for hundreds of miles in the direction OF
the water flow. Lacking state regulation
and effective enforcement of sanitary
laws in the place of origin. the most
careful and thorough precautions in the
regions beyond may be rendered futile.
There are many other diseases In the
same category the prevention of which
is dependent upon the interstate enforce
ment of uniform laws. Malaria and other
mosquito-borne diseases may be greatly
reduced in frequency and viruence by
cooperative measures. Smallpox scarlet
fever. diphtheria. etc, while in the main
local In their prevalence and spread, are
nevertheless properly subject to interstate
quarantine and other precautionary meas
ures to prevent their transmission from
state to state. The urgent need Is for
the adoption of the same standard Of
classification and isolation. While these
Interstate conferences are in session in
Washington. the subject of public health
should receive large share OF atten-
ton.
