The death rate of the whole pop- ulation is 23.41, the increase being due to the high rate of 33.25 among the colored. | One problem, then, ts to discover why the | colored people of the District die in a | healthy city nearly twice as fast as the | Whites. When the causes are ascertained the duty of removing them, if they can be | removed, must be accepted by the people. To neglect it would be criminal. Dr. Bill- ings’ figures tend to show that this differ- ence in the death rates of white and colored | is not due to differencies in the physical | structure of the two races. If it were the | Tatio would be practically constant in every | clty where there is a large colored popula- | tion. There is, however, a great variation | in the figures. The excessively high death | rate among colored children !s shown to be jan unnecessary thing, because the figures | Vary greatly in different localities right in | Washington. Then, it is fair to assume | that the waste of life is due to causes that | may to a large extent be remedied. Pov- erty and ignorance and their attendant | train of evils claim many lives annually. | So Dr. Billings’ report maps out distinctly | work to be done by the municipal authori- ties dha by citizens.

The uprising of the | the organization of the Sanitary League. better elements of Hawaiian population, | | Many citizens becoming impressed with sympathized with by a vast majority of | M@"¥ egg the American people, is therefore to be nullified by influences that while officially American are more nearly British in the | manner of their working. With American residents owning more than one-half of Hawaiian property and conducting the greater proportion of Hawaii's trade and with practical acquiescence by most of the natives in the situation as it was be- fore Minister Paramount Blount was in- jected therein, this government concludes to upset conditions that are at least semi- satisfactory, elects to encourage conspiracy | and provoke bloodshed, joins hands with the outlaws who have manufactured the uproar against the republican idea; and all to the | end that a far from admirable specimen of womanhood be reclad with power to work great evil. To say that such a posi- tion is an astounding one is to speak mildly. That the course of the administration is indefensible must be evident to all reason- ing people. It matters not now how the Fevolution was brought about; that it oc- curred is history, but with those causes the President can have nothing to do. Both President Harrison and President Cleveland have recognized the provisional govern- ment as a power, the latter having sent to that government two representatives. Pres- ident Cleveland might withdraw the Ameri- can minister if he simply desired to let the | two factions fight it out among themselves; that would be an unfriendly act. But to @rag the throne from out the royal woodshed and, after dusting it off with the frazzlei hopes of honest Americans, replace thelow- comedy queen on its cushions is an act of hostility toward a friendly power which neither the Americans of Hawail nor those of the United States are likely to forget. Responsibility for the destruction of Amer- ican interests and influence in Hawail and for bloodshed and loss of life, which may result from this effort of the great republic to bolster up a rotten pro-English mon- arehy will be upon the administration of President Cleveland. And the burden will | be heavy. ——_+e+______ ‘There is no limit to Chicago's assurance, | whether it is exercised by the city itself or by gome of the individuals who contribute their little all of aggressiveness to make up the one harmonious and larcenious whole. The World’s Columbian Exposition was a mag- nificent success, but that fact does not give Chicago a first mortgage on “the earth and the fulness thereof.” The latest and largest Proposition is to have Congress establish, in Chicago, a national academy of art, science | and industry. To this academy, through a system of scholarships, each state is to send | @ certain number of the most worthy of its public-school graduates and these students, to the number of more than fifteen thou- sand, are to be taught by the best available talent, whether native or imported. During many years many men have advocated the founding of an university that should be truly national. Washington himself was an enthusiast on the subject and since his time | other great public characters have advocat- e@ a similar idea, but none of them ever dreamed of locating such an educational in- Stitution elsewhere than at the National! | Capital. At some future day, perhaps not | so very far distant, Congress will have its eyes opened to the necessity for a national university that shall be superior to any uni- versity now existing, and when that time of awakening comes the site will be found somewhere within the boundaries of the District of Columbia. —_ + ++ ‘The Georgetown citizens have reorganized for a vigorous campaign in behalf of their section. These voluntary organizations of ettizens to give voice to local public senti- ment are of value to the city through the suggestions and facts which they supply | beth to the municipal government and to | Congresg. It is well that the men of Wash- ington should cultivate in every manner Possible the hubit of co-operating with one another in efforts for the advancement of the public welfare, not only as residents of east or west or south Washington organiz- ing to better the condition of their re- spective sections, but as the citizens of united Washington laboring harmoniously for such measures as will benefit the city as a whole. | ——_—__+«+—____ } Official and tangible recognition of the | valor of Gen.

Altgeld. } ————~+-s____ Above the interest excited by corapart-| sons, the report on vital statistics of the | District of Columbia and Baltimore, com- piled by Dr. John S. Billings and issued by the Census Bureau, has an Importance which thoughtful citizens should not be| slow to recognize. There is nothing alarm- ing in Dr. Billings’ figures as to Washing- tom when compared with the death rates Stven this city might weil be contented | with the record. But Dr. Billings has gone| into a searching statistical analysis of the subject, and the results show @eath rate of Washington, Probably much higher than it ought to be. | He says that his figures respecting the dif-| the practical good such an organization could do for the city joined it and, as mem- bership is open to all, it is believed that the winter will witness large accessions to its ranks. In addition to practical investi- gation the plan of the league contemplates a campaign of education. It aims to dif- fuse among all the people knowledge on sanitary subjects—knowledge that may save many lives and prevent much suffer- ing. The league has already taken steps to carry on active work during the winter. The appearance of Df. Billings’ report at this time will help to give intelligent direc- tion to its efforts and may secure for it the | active aid of citizens who will learn from it the importance of the objects for which it is striving. There are two lines of work Particularly suggested by the report. First, the special investigation of districts in which the mortality has been comparatively | great, with a view to remedying the con- ditions that have produced such sad results. Second, a special inquiry into the causes of the excessive death rate among the col- ored people and a determined effort to re- duce it. Intelligent and persistent effort on these lines will answer the two most important problems stated by Dr. Billings. 0 oe To imagine that the “bosses” and “rings” and dishoiest “combines were forever crushed by Tuesday's elections is to be over sanguine as to the coming of millen- nial times, but there is much comfort to be extracted from the probability that the | machine politicians of the two parties were so heavily jarred as to ensure decency in state and municipal management for some time to come. A fair type of the man who will be prominent in public affairs, for a season at least, is Mayor-elect Schieren of Brooklyn. He is a republican, but the par- tisan inclination is subordinated almost entirely to businesslike considerations. In a comprehensive declaration of intentions he says that his appointments will be made for the best interests of the city, and that democrats will be recognized just as re- publicans will—because of their ability to render the city faithful service. He is satisfied that both the republican and demo- cratic rings have been smashed out of ex- istence, and looks for a complete and clean reorganization. “The old republican ma- chine,” he declares, “fe in no higher favor with the people than the McLaughlin co- terie. It has been suspected for years that they were playing together and that no beneficial result would follow the turning out of the one and installing the other. I do not believe that a mayoralty candidate of the republican organization could be elected. A sweeping change in the organi- zation is bound to come, and it will be brought about on the lines of the republican club. New district leaders who sought to advance only personal interests, which were ofttimes accomplished by tricky coalitions with the democrats, have got to be sup- planted by new men.” “Bosses” who were apparently opposed to each other have often been accused of thievish harmony, and that the accusations were well founded seems evident from Mr. Schieren’s com- mentary on conditions past. He says that to show that both machines have worked together at the expense of the city it is only necessary to consult the municipal pay rolls, “where you will find the names of a number of prominent republicans who are thought good enough republicans to be sent to the state conventions of the party.” No decent citizen will object to the immediate retirement of those men. It is evident that neither party can afford to throw stones at the record of its “bosses,” and it is a healthful sign when the best men of both parties move shoulder to shoulder against a common foe, whose long-continued supremacy would endanger the stability of the republic. California’s midwinter exposition promises to be bigger and more successful than even its most optimistic promoters had any rea- son to suppose it would be. Money is not lacking and there is abundance of energy. From all over the country demands for space are being daily received at San Fran- cisco and it is now certain that many of the buildings as planned and partially erect- ed will be much too small to accommodate the exhibits that are being prepared in ev- ery state and territory. Following so close- ly after the world’s fair the California effort will suffer somewhat by comparison as to magnitude, but there is no reason why it should not be quite as artistic as anything in Jackson Park, and it is certain that many of the choice features of the greatest of expositions will go to enrich and make beautiful that which is the present pride of | the Pacific coast. > «= ___ There are two roads in which the demo- cratic party will do well to go slow. The first is that leading to the imposition of an income tax; the other that leading to the restoration of a monarchy in the govern- ment of the Hawaiian Islands. Judging from the results of last Tuesday's election, that organization is in no condition to fool with the temper of the American people, and tne adoption by it of either of the provosed measures referred to above will be pretty certain to aggravate existing relations, which seem to be badly strained, to say the least, at the present time. ——————~+2e—____.

When the death rates in @ifferent districts vary from 17.13 to 45.36 the conclusion is strong that there is some thing in the surroundings of the residents of the district having the hi: their mode of life that causes the excessive mortality. Statistics are cold, but the startling figures as to the death rate among the colored people constitute an appeal for help which no one with humane impulses san disregard.

Principal among the events were the elec- tions that took place on Tuesday and which developed so many surprises. Partisan feeling was laid aside in many places and citizens combined to defeat the candi- dates that were generally deemed unwortky. In New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Massa- chusetts and Iowa there were notable re- publican vietories. The populists had made large and resounding statements as to the damage they were going to inslict, but they failed to make good a single promise. Inter- est in the efforts of revolutionists to upset the zilian republic is unabat+ ed, although it now seems :ertain that Mello’s looked-for European allies have forsaken him.

Honduras has been called on to ex- plain why the American flag, floating from a halyard on the American steamer Costa Rica, was fired at by the batteries at Ama- pala; an epology has been demanded. Charges of instability have been again pre- ferred against some of the newest naval vessels of this country and in several in- stances the Navy Department has been compelled to plead guilty; the defects can, it is stated, be quickly but expensively remedied. Ratifications of an extradition treaty with Sweden have been exchanged without public disturbance and in an equal- ly unostentatious manner,Mr. Joseph Cham- berlain, P., and Mrs. Chamberlain brought their brief visit to “the states” to @ close and departed for England. The re- tirement of Gen. Robert Williams, adju- tant general of the army, brought about the promotion of Gen. George D. Ruggles to fill the vacancy.
