The Muzzling Regulation.

When a little more than q year ago
the Commissioners. In view Of the prev
alence Of rabies In the District, ordered
the muzzling Of all dogs for twelve
months it was hoped that despite the op-
position Of certain dog owners to the
measure of public protection there would
be a general observance of the regula-
tion. with the result Of stamping out this
disease from Washington. Unfortu-
nately large number of people not only
resented but resisted the law as thus
proclaimed, and taking advantage Of the
inadequacy Of the means available for
its enforcement they allowed their dogs
to run at large without muzzles. taking
their chances on the immunity of their
pets from capture. Doubtless In conse-
quence Of this perversity On the part Of
a portion of the public, there has been
an unusual prevalence of rabies this
year stnce the first of May thirty-two
people, twenty-one dogs and ten domestic
animals other than dogs have been in
fected with this disease.
The health officer ascribes this situa-
tion to the lack OF a suficient force of
dog catchers to carry the muzxling order
into effect. As q matter Of fact the
blame lies with the people themselves,
and not with Congress for It's failure to
provide enough men. With an utter dis
regard for the law and the well estab-
lished facts as to rabies. its nature and
the manner Of its communication, with.
indeed, a greater consideration for the
comfort of their pets than for the health
and lives Of people. they have permitted
their dogs to run at large unmuzzled, to
bite other dogs and to bite children.
Perhaps better results would have been
obtained II instead Of going after the
dogs the authorities had proceeded Wig
orously against the dog owners. taking

The Anti-Typhoid Campaign
From TIE New York Tribune.

The determination Of the army author
tiles to require all officers and enlisted
men who are not already immune to be
inoculated against typhoid fever maRaks
another important step in a systematic
campaign against what Is really one of
the most serious plaques OF mankind. we
suppose that IL there were half as many
cases Of smallpox In this community eS

thing like q panic. Yet the perennial
scourge of typhoid, which is really a more
formidable disease than smallpox. goes
Its deadly way with little comment and
with no serious popular concern. 1t Is
not intimated that there should be q
panic over typhoid. There should be
none over any epidemic. But serious at
tention should be paid to 1t, and every
hopeful step toward its suppression should
receive the aid and sympathy OF all who
are able thus to contribute to that end.

not a citizen who violates this regulation

would seem as though the police force
could have been employed with good ef-
feet in tracing the ownership OF un-
muzzled dogs and demonstrating that the
muzzling regulation was written to be
obeyed and not to be fiouted contemp-
tuously.

The Secret Assassin of Character.

A young woman or EAStoH' 49,
daughter of a wealthy family, has been
charged with sending anonymous letters
during the past nine years to various
residents Of that city. accusing them ana
their relatives and friends OF impropr1e-
ties and indiscretions and even OF crime,
without proof or basis in fact. She, OF
course, denies the charge. which would
seem to be difficult of establishment. The
case will be of great interest IN Its de-
velopment. for every community In this
country has had at one time or another

Admiralty, jurisdiction.

The new question in the admiralty
case of The Raithmoor, 1S6 Federal
Reporter, $40, is, Is an unfinished bea-
con subject of admiralty jurisdiction?
The English steamer Raithmoor was
coming up the Delaware in charge OF
pilot when she collided with concrete
piles, partly put into place, intended
to support beacon. The construc-
ton company brought suit aaginst the
steamship for injuries to the piles.
Judge ]. s. Mcpherson of the United
States district court says Il am aware
that 1t may seem artificial to decide
that the admiralty can not redress this
wrong, altho it is clear that, if the
beacon had been completed an injury
to the concrete piles could be redressed
as fully as an injury to the lamp. But
the line Of demarcation must be drawn
somewhere. The materials intended to
compose these piles would not be pro-
tected by the admiralty rs long as they
remained on shore. or on q PROJECTING
pier, or on any other structure affixed
to the land or Immediately serving
commerce on land. They could only
gain such protection by becoming do
voted to maritime purposes. and there
must necessarily be some point Of time
when the maritime character &c taken
en-. Before that Point is reached, al!
that can be said, as II seems to me. is
that the work Of transferring them
from one Jurisdiction to another is still
in progress, but has not yet been fin
lished. The analogy Of ship seems to
be Instructive. Indeed, If it is appli-
cable at all. it is controlling. There can
be no doubt for what purpose a ship is
intended. but while 1t Is being built,
even altho it may be afloat, admiral
ty declines to take jurisdiction. After
it has been finished and begins to carry
on maritime business, the jurisdic-
ton attached without delay. l do not
see, therefore. upon what sufficient
ground 1t can be held that the incom-
plete structure had already become
beacon of which the admiralty had ac-
quired Jurisdiction. 1t was still mere
collection or compound Of materials

voted to the maritime purpose for
