Infantile Paralysis and Dirt.

The epidemic Of infantle paralysis, that is
causing such CONSERVATION in the east, IL the
greatest Of recent indictments against our com.
munal inefhciency. The disease Is peculiarly one
Of filthy conditions, and the precautions urged
against II are to clean up Its existence il proof
OF laxity somewhere A cure is eagerly being
sought. and prNcely rewards are being offered to
the scientist who will produce the specific rem
edy to counteract the disease. A far more rational
proceeding would be to remove the cause. Cleanli-
ness is possible, but only when sanitary regula-
tons are strictly enforced. The elimination of
yellow fever shows what may be done. Typhoid
typhus and similar fevers may be driven out in
the same fashion. Americans should hang their
heads when they remember that American doctor.

homes. Omaha is not immune, but is as far be-

Reerudeseence of Paneho Villa.

Mexican matters again take on lively color
by reason OF the revival of Pancho Villa, whose
resumption of activity affords Senior Carranza a
splendid opportunity to show his mettle. A little
vigorous pursuit Of the outlaw and the punish
ment of some Of his followers will be more elo-
quent than many speeches by our peace-loving
president. Order can not be restored in Mexico,
nor safety established along the border, so long
as this picturesque and nonchaant murderer Is al
lowed to infest the region that seems to be under
his domination. His personal pacifcation is es-
sential to permanency Of peace, but 1t can not be
accomplished, unless more energetic measures
than any so far adopted be set on foot for his
subjusation. II we are not to war against the
de facto government, we might be permitted to
war with It. to the end that Villa be brought to

The prospective replacement Of the Union Pa
cihc bridge has raised anew talk OF free bridge
over the Missouri river at this point. The latest
suggestion is that the discarded superstructure
of the Union Pacific railway bridge be acquired
to be converted into an open artery Of travel
between Omaha and Council Bluffs.
With the desire for a free Missouri river
bridge everyone can sympathize although II may
be open to question whether the transplanting of
secondhand railroad bridge will fulfill the OBJ
ject The elements of cost, possible location, and
expense Of maintenance should all be known first.
Unless the proposed bridge could be erected at
point to fit in with main thoroughfares on both
sides of the river, it could not hold out even
against pay bridge conveniently located o..
The other possibility Is also to be considered,
namely Of purchasing outright, for lump sum,
the toll privileges Of the present bridge, con-
trolled by the street railway company, and making
Il free for foot and vehicle passengers This would
accomplish the result much faster and perhaps at
not much greater expense, than the cost Of an
other structure, depending upon the amount Of
money that would be needed for approaches for
bridge at another suitable place.
All this Is on the theory that we could readily
secure cooperation for the purpose on both sides
Of the river At any rate, closer investigation
and discussion Of the subject can do much good
and no harm. E.e

Democrats in Masquerade.

The spectacle OF the democrats in congress
posing as protectionists is one that should make
the dead and gone saints Of the party stir In their
tombs. The new revenue bill that has just been
put through the house is so full of republican
ideas and principles that il can hardly be claimed
as democratic in anything but name. II still re-.
tans some OF the tncture Of Bourbonsm, but
in the main Is so progressive that large number
of the republicans could easily vote for It because
of Its endorsement Of republican principles Chief
among the features Of the bill in this regard is
the revival Of the tariff commission originally
provided for by the republicans and in full opera
ton when the present administration came to
power, and killed as one of its first acts. Protec-
tive duties, calculated to encourage the develop
ment Of new industries, are also included.
1t must not be accepted that the democrats
have taken up the principle OF protection because
OF conviction On the other hand, It Is exclusively
matter Of expediency with them. For two gen.
erations they have denounced the protective tar
if az the most iniquitous Of all forms Of egisa-
ton, wherefore their beated resort to it is the
more interesting a. confession that they have
been wrong for fifty years at least. Their present
revenue bill is an admission Of the correctness
OF republican principles. Disaster, due to free
trade experiment has compelled the dominant
party to confess its blunder, and to give the coun-
try at least measure of sound government.
The new revenue measure is also remarkable
because Of its wide departure from the provisions
OF the Underwood bill that was 50 fulsomely en-
dorsed at the St. Louis convention, and which Is
praised In the platform as embodying the demo-
cratic idea Of tariff measure. The democrats
certainly are at sea.
