WASHINGTON, THORSeDAY February ®, ses. CROSEY 8. NOTES THE RVENING STAR base reqular and vermanent circulation in Washington three times larger thas that ofany ether paper the ity. Ae = local NEWS paper and Ad- Vertisiag Medium it has me competitor. Wite the approach of springtime comes a re- newal of the fear that cholera may soon be epilemic within the United States, Legislators and the mecbaniem which ie supposed to pro- tect as from foreign invasion will probably d= effectual work but they are practically power- loos if the germs are within our borders, ready to do their desolating work as soon as condi- fone are fnrorable. © this danger, by no means imaginary, Sir Speacer Weils cails atter- tion in an article on “How to prevent the com- ing of cholera,” im the February Forum, Foui drinking water seems to be the most serious scares of trouble, for in water the bacilins mez. tipties so rapidly that even computative genius ie staggeret Dut there is another piace whence disease and death may issue, and of this the t physician says that ‘the modern eus- tow of the chsponal of the dead bodies of those billet by evmotic dis ases by burialin theearth is arce of great danger to the living. More must be said as to the danger of poisoning the wourcess of water supply by ordinary sewage aod drwinage, and by the discbarge of the ebolera vibrios imto streams and rivera, But here it is necemsa: to make better known the fact thet the germs of infective clisease may be long preserved in the earth, For thu knowl edge indebted to Pasteur. And here is a powerfal ar; ent im favor of erema- tion. That there is close relationship between the Doria of dead im the earth, polluted water, and the spread of cholera, typhoid and similar infection must be evident. “A body full of cholera or typhoid bacilis,” says Dr. Wells, “8 buried in the earth with or without «coffin. ‘The coffin may retard the process of escape into the earth for a time, powibly until the bacilli have perished as putrefaction goes on. But sooner or later, under favorable or une favorable conditions of temperature and moisture and soil, the bacilli infect the sur rounding earth and the water which runs from Mt into adjacent rivulets. Any mode of bury- ing the dead in the earth with or without © coffin exposes the living to unnecessary danger. Anything short of com- lete destruction by fire or by some powerful mmical agent must be powerless or incom- plete as asafeguard. We segregute our living smallpox petionts and make it a misdemeanor to expose them publicly. We treat cholera patients im a similar way and adopt quarantine Testrietions te protect the healthy from infec- tion; but when they are dead we dispose of their bodies in « way most likely to preserve and maltuply the disease germs which they con- tain aud so assist im their future mischief- mang ‘Of course there will be controversy on this subject, for only « small minority of the people believe in cremation, bat cool diseassion will not damage the position taken by the great English doctor. There is no sufficient reason | why the dead should destroy the living. — the Columbia Street Raffway looking for a suitable rapid transit motor and after the most exhanstive in- Yextigntion has come to the conclusion that | ome: are | Hon of the American minister at Hawaii ought | “protest” in seeking a likely bit of territory?— | won territory.
