It is comforting to hear Surgeon General ‘Wyman say that the past season has been one of the worst as regards the prevalence of cholera that Europe has ever known. ‘The comfort comes not from any ghoulish satisfaction in the sufferings of the people on the other side, but from the reflex as- @utance that we on this side have, to a great extent, mastered the secret of keep- ing out the dreaded germ. Though the dis- ease was raging in many quarters of the trans-Atlantic continent, more wide-spread, indeed, than for many years, only two ships bearing cholera came to these shores. This is in strong contrast with the experience of the summer and fall of 1892, when the disease was practically confined to Ham- burg, and ship after ship loaded with in- fection came into New York harbor. The credit then lay in keeping the foul visitor eut of the country after it had reached our doors, but this year the credit is greater, for having kept it from leaving Europe. This has been accomplished by means of what may be called the duplex quarantine system, whereby a scrutiny is kept on the immigration at both ends of the line. By means of @ corps of efficient officers sta- tioned throughout Europe, the intending colonists were practically sifted, until only healthy ones went aboard the steamers. In the case of both ships that came to this country with cholera, the disease de- veloped after leaving port, showing that when they sailed there were no surface in- dications of the epidemic. While this proves that there is danger, however strictly the lines may be drawn, it also demonstrates that constant vigilance must be main- tained throughout the season on both shore and ship. Meanwhile, the domestic quaran- tine {s not to be neglected, and that inner wall of defence must be maintained strong and invulnerable. In addition, the densely populated sections must be kept clean, and the inhabitants instructed in full knowledge of the dangers that come from filth and carelessness. All these precautions are absolutely necessary as adjuncts to the quarantines, which can work alone for a time, but which are of no avail should the disease once get a foothold in the country. The experiences of the past two seasons are ripe with lessons, and, as the Surgeon General says, we are learning more every year. —_+ ++ —____. Foreign nations which have been spending vast sums on their navies and yet are uw: satisfied. could probably get just the ships they are looking for if they would place their orders with some of our American shipbuilders. The great European powers that for centuries have been actively com- peting for oceanic supremacy are astounded at our success. With but little experience in Raval construction we have succeeded in producing ships of war such as donot else- where exist. Nowhere on the world of Waters does there float a cruiser that can compare. with the Columbia, and it may also be claimed that the New York Is fully “equal to the best cruiser in all the fleets of Great Britain. Yesterday another fine spec- 4men of our marine architecture—the cruiser Olympia—succeeded in beating twenty-two knots and there are assurances that she can repeat the performance any day in the week. More ships of that sort are being completed and it is but a matter of a few years when the great republic may fairly claim that Britannia no ionger rules the waves, ——reo__ —__ Secretary Herbert has made prompt re- Sponse to the suggestion, that appeared in these columns on Thursday, as to the order- ing into this neighborhood of the cruiser Columbia. The fastest warship afloat is coming this way as soon as may be con- venient. There need be no immediate hurry on the part of those who are anxious to see her, for it is quite sure that the work of fit- ting her out and putting her armament on board will probably use up as many as six months. When the springtime arrives and ‘winter’s poor have been cared for, then the District of Columbia will see that Provision is made for a suitable gift for its extremely creditable godchild, and when the ship ar- Fives at Annapolis the gift will be placed on board with all fitting ceremony. ———__ + e+ New York yesterday paid reverential homage to the memory of a man whost name and heroic death should ever be con- spicuously before the young of America. One hundred and seventeen years have come and gone since Nathan Hale was hanged by the British as a spy. The in- fluences of his sorrowful decease were po- tent in hastening successful revolution and his brave words just before martyrdom: “I only regret that lave but one life to Jose for my country,” aroused thousands of lukewarm colonists. In erecting a statue to the hero New York city pays but a frac- tion of the nation’s indebtedness. oe The Brooklyn Daily Eagle has issued a World's Fair souvenir edition (with an artistic colored supplement), in which is made plain the excellent and successfully operated plans by which that enterprising Journal made the visit of thousands of Brooklynites to Chicago a pleasure long to be remembered. Had all the great news- pepers of the country done as did the Eagle the total attendance at the exposition would have been twice twenty millions, ++.

There are some features about the report, however, which do not show up as favorably as reports for Years past, and which should receive the attention not only of the authorities of the District but of sdnitarians who are inter- ested in the saving of life and the conse- Quent increase of longevity. We refer to the increase of the number of deaths among ehildren under the age of one year. This mortality among infsnts is always large in all of our great cities as well as the great @ities of other countries, it us ly attain- img about 25 per cent of the total number of deaths of all ages and about 66 cent of all deaths under five years c The forthcoming report of the he: bartment of the District shows an unwel- come increase in both of these percentages Over those of last year and aiso over the Gverages for past sev years. true of the number of of those under one year as compared with the total number of Geatns of those under five years of age Where it amounts to 75 per cent. T THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D. ©, SATURDA considerably in excess of the figures for seventeen years past, the highest per cent during that period being 71.75 in 1880. While the total number of deaths has been re- duced at the rate of nearly one for every thousand inhabitants as compared with the year 1892, there has been a considerable in- crease per thousand inhabitants of deaths of children under one year of age. Various causes have been ascribed for this condi- tion, among them being the excessive heat during the months of July and August, 1892, when the death rate among infants was greater than ever known before in the District, and the severely cold weather of January and February of the present year. It is evident, however, that other causes have contributed to this excessive death rate among our infant population and it would seem to be a good field for effective work on the part of those who are inter- ested in thé health of the city in investi- gating and discovering the causes which have produced these results and in apply- ing the proper remedies. No doubt many of these deaths arise from causes which are Properly termed preventable, and many of them can be traced to ignorance on the bart of mothers and nurses. The absence of proper care and the use of improper food are responsible for meny a death among this class, and adulterated food, especially adulterated milk, are important factors entering into these results. These figures are espectally significant when con- sidered in connection with the number of births, which have materially fallen off dur- ing the past year as compared with the preceding, and this, too, in face of the fact that the reports of births are supposed to be more complete than ever before owing to recent stringent regulations requiring such reports to be turned in to the depart- ment. The report shows the number of births for the year ending June 30, 1803, to have been 4,458, a falling off as compared with the preceding year of 156, while the number of deaths was 6,452, an increase over the preceding year of 354, being an excess of deaths over births of 904. It would seem that in view of this increasing ratio of deaths over births more than or- dinary effort should be made by the au- thorities and those interested in the health of the District looking to a decrease in the number of deaths among our infants. The Sanitary League, which has already given some attention to the question of reduc- ing the death rate among ‘children, will doubtless take special notice of this par- ticular feature of Dr. Hammett’s report, and should co-operate with the health au- thorities in an endeavor to bring about a marked improvement during the present year. Already there has been a considera- ble falling off in the number of deaths among children under five years of age since the first of July. The effort should be to still further decrease this average and the prospects are good for materially re- ducing the percentage of deaths among this class during the current fiscal year. ———_ + ee The New York Herald, which, as a re- ward for services rendered through Cor- respondent Nordhoff, i» supposed to be honored with the confidence of the adminis- tration In Hawatlian affairs, outlines the President's expectations in reference to the restoration of the queen. The Herald asserts that if anybody supposes that the President has backed down from the posi- tion so plainly outlined by the Gresham report In view of the reported intention of the provisional government to maintain their position by the aid of the military, he will be very much mistaken. It is inti- mated that when the news of Gresham's announcement of the administration’s Ha- watian policy reaches Honolulu a riot will immediately ensue, on the strength of which Minister Willis will call upon the raval commanders to land their men, and restore the Queen. “This can be done, os- tensibly,” says the Herald correspondent,, “for the purpose of protecting American lives and property, but with the marines once landed there would be no reason, the administration officials insist, for the Public to be shocked if they took a posi- tion which would guarantee the safe trans- fer of the Queen from her private residence to the government building than there was when Minister Stevens placed the Boston’s marines in practically ghe same position to eliminate the legitimate government.” As interpreted by the Herald corre- spondent, who ought to know if any- body does, Minister Willis’s instructions in substance direct him: (1) To restore the queen in some way; (2) To land the ma- rines and restore the queen in case of a riot; (@) If necessary, to get up the riot which is to be the excuse for landing the marines to restore the queen. This interpretation of the instructions Places Minister Willis in the contemptible attitude of plotting to Incite a riot against the friendly. government and President Cleveland's “great and good friend” to whom he is accredited, with the purpose of landing the armed forces of the republic on the false pretence of protecting American interests against the disturbance which he has created, and then of forcibly over- throwing good government and restoring bad government in the unhappy islands. To allege the commission of “a great wrong” on ex-parte, garbled and in the main prejudiced evidence, and in an al- leged endeavor to correct this alleged wrong to become a hypocritical, dark-lantern con- spirator, conceling secret and cowardly plotting both from the American people and the friendly government which it is proposed to overthrow by fraud and force— Can the Herald possibly be correct in its intimation that this is the administration's Hawaiian policy? ——_~+ +. ______ Governed by an unstable cabinet, threat- ened with revolution and standing face to face with bankruptcy, ltaly is now a sub- ject for the world's sympathy. The recent disgraceful scenes in the chamber of depu- ties fairly indicate popular sentiment throughout the disturbed kingdom, and un- Jess a strong and dexterous hand soon takes hoid of the governmental reins the map of Europe may need revision at an early date. The report of the commission appointed to investigate the bark scandals—evidently the production of fearless and honest men— has shaken about all that remained of con- fidence In the controlling powers, and but little more of agitation would result in the downfall of Humbert. Under pressure that seems to have originated in French ani- mosity, Italian securities have suffered great depreciation, and their tendency is still downward. The national deficit is more than one hundred and fifty millions, and it must be at once removed, or Italian credit will go out of existence. Increased taxation seems impossible, for the taxpay- ers’ patience is almost worn out. In Sicily there is great misery among the poor; so much of tt, in fact, that the Italian govern- ment has sent thither a large force of troops to compel, if that be possible, a mil- Jion people to starve silently. When these sufferers revolt, and an outbreak is daily expected, sympathetic uprising may be jooked for in Calabria, and then the whole Italian army will more than have its hands full. The only available remedy is disarmament. England and Germany may want to prevent such a move, but neither power can give the financial aid needed if the present fighting force is maintained. For itself, Italy has no use for a powerful havy or a great army. Its autonomy would not be threatened were the big vessels sold and the last superfiuous fighting-man di charged. With the military and naval bur- den off its shoulders, Italy could, in three or four years, take rank with the sound financial powers of Europe. Will there be reform or ruin? +o. The Pennsylvania strikers do not seem to appreciate the fact that they are in danger of violating some of their own principles by requiring the militia to work overtime without adequate compensation, ———+ee—____ It looks very much as if the President would have to take his chances with pos- terity for subsiantial indorsement of his Hawaiian policy. ——+e In @ great majority of cases the safe thing for a diplomat to do ts nothing. And Mr. Van Alen does it beautifully. | THE WEEK. No news of importance has been received from Hawaii, which has been the focal point of public interest; United States Min- ister Willis was received by President Dole, but the latest dispatches show that the min- ister had not commenced to bring about the re-enthronement of the queen, fore- shadowed in Secretary Gresham's report to the President. Minister Thurston, who rep- resents Hawail in the United States, took occasion to defend himself from the asper- sions of ex-Minister Paramount Blount. The ways and means committee of the House is hard at work on the administra- tion’s tariff bill, and expects to have it com- plete within a few days. The official report of the naval officers who were on the United States cruiser Columbia during her trial trip certify to an average speed of 22.81 knots—a record that the naval world has not yet done talking about. Brazil's new cruisers, the Nictheroy and America, are almost ready for business; the former departed from New York early in the week and will be followed tomorrow by the Amer- ica. Under the head of labor disturbances may be classed the strike on the Lehigh Valley railroad and the Knights of Labor convention in Philadelphia; the latter hav- ing up to the present time developed more bolsterous behavior than the former. After charges and counter charges of the most se- rious sort, Powderly has been re-elected eral master workman, while Hayes, ‘owderly’s bitterest enemy, 1s once more general secretary. South Carolina continues to be disturbed over the manner in which Gov. Tillman is enforcing the state Nquor jaw. Distressed Sea Islanders, whose wrecked homes are off the South Carolina coast, are having their reeds attended to by the Red Cross Society, but there is still lack of funds and material. Elizabeth, N. J., is wrestling with an epidemic of poage oe which has brought about adjournment of the courts and the closing of the schools. Rlot- ous behavior on the Mexican border has been @ little more than ordinarily conspic- uous, but that is all. French Canadians and English Canadians are at loggerheads again, this time because Honore Mercier, son of jada's ex-premier, is the arrested princi- pal in a plot to blow up the monument of Lord Nelson in Montreal. More conspicu- ous than any other of the deaths during the week was that of Gen. J. M. Rusk, ex-Sec- retary of Agriculture, who died at his home in Viroqua, Wis. Abroad. Great Britain's big coal strike has come to an end, but Scotch miners, who are dis- satisfied with their wages, threaten to quit work unless there is an increase of re- munefation. A tremendous storm raged over Great Britain and a considerable por- tion of the continent; hundreds of lives were lost and millions of dollars went down be- fore the gale; the heroic work of coast guards and lifeboat crews w especially conspicuous. England's navy is not large enough or effective enough to satisfy the be- Nevers in her majesty’s naval supremacy; the appropriation of $10,000,000 for new ships is an easy probability. The opening of the elghteenth session of the Italian par- Hament was one of the noistest ‘airs of the kind known to history; a condition of affairs due to the report of the commission appointed to investigate the bank scandals. Among the ) hing implicated were many Prominent officials, and as a result of the Publication of the document, Premier Gio- Utth and the rest of the cabinet have re- signed. France seems to be a trifle warm because Germany has been fortifying on the Belgian frontier, but so far the friction is not serious. Spain is still struggling with the Riffs, but neither side has obtained any material advantage. His ex-Majesty Loben- gula is on “the run” in South Africa, while in Europe the police are engaged more ac- tively than ever in chasing anarchists, who have lately developed devilish activity. Eighty alleged nthilists were recently ar- rested in Warsaw and a great number of other arrests are expected. The Brazilian trouble {s still on, with the chances more favorable for the success of President Peix- oto than they have been for some time: the latest advantage being the sinking of the Mello man-of-war Javary. At Hone. Headquarters of the republican national committee are soon to be permanently es- tablished in this city and active work ina campaign of education commenced. The alarm caused by the malicious mischief of that seemingly unknown criminal who has been dubbed “Jack the Slasher” has sub- sided considerably, the rascal having been idle ever since last Saturday evening. In the annual report of the health officer made to the District Commissioners are fi res which show that the local mortality during the past fiscal year was much less than during any similar period in the city’s his- tory. There has been troubie over the tax assessments, very many citizens complain- ing of the increases made; a new assess- ment has been recommended by the assess- or. The necessity for more school buildings was made plain in the annual report of the school board. The three days’ meeting of the Columbia Association of tist Church- es was largely attended and successful, Philanthropic individuals and charity or. ganizations are making all possible prepar- ation to give the city’s poor something to be thankful for on Thursday next, SHOOTING STARS.
