WILMLNGTON; X FRIDAY, APRIL 23, 189Zf very Important to Wilming ton Sanitary engineering is no't only a c,r.r.a hut a erowth. There is a well auipped class of educated profession a is who have done much and willdo more to advance the cause, of health, and to teach cleanliness and sanitary laws generally. The able Scientific American, an old and -excellent jour , nal long known to a discerning public, in discussingthis branch of true pro gress says: ' t "Tho CTowth of this 'branch of en gineering is not due to any deliberate effort to create a separate profession; bilt rather to the growth of intelligent irnrifrA of the laws of sanitation, and the demand of tne puonc ii these laws shall be followed in rtne ,.r,tnipHnn f their homes, and is one tm affecting their municipal being. The public enlightenment 'has -erne as the result of the teachings of science and bitter experience. JWhile medical men have been urging the need for pure water supply, good drain age and abundant ventilation, the scourge of epidemic Jias descended With a terrible persistency to indorse ; their teachings.". ' 1 Twelve or fifteen years ago we urged that the best thing for Wilmington -that the authorities could possibly do was to begin the construction of a .system of sewage, working on well -. defined lines year by year until the most important -undertaking was an "accomplished fact. We took leave to ! suggest i '"the city fathers" that a thoroughly equipped sanitary engineer ' be employed at least for one year, to make the needed surveys, map out a plan, and start the work. If too x pensive to retain so efficient and p paifle a worker for longer than one year, to employ one at less cost who was capable of working under the plans of the engineer and of complet ing the drainage system in a thorough way. There is no, possible low rate of sickness in any town. with bad drinking water, no sewage, and no other, plan 7 of effective sanitation. ; These sanitary engineers look after the private dwellings also, and the per fection or defects of their drainage. The public health requires both private 1 and public "sanitation. .The back lots are often pests to a city and add to the general sickness. The Scientific Amer ican says it has been clearly estab lished by statistics .of sickness and mortality "that there is an intimate relation between a city's drainage and its death rate, and that hygiene and health go .hand in hand." . - More has been done in the last quar ter of a century than ever before to lessen the mortality rates in the cities, and to demonstrate that public health is greatly dependent on pure- drinking water, pure air, and pure dwellings and lots. Great advance has been made in the water supply and its pur ity. ' Infection, death itself, comes from this cause more than from any other. You drink daily disease and death. Death is in the cup. Listen to this from the high authority already quoted from: "The 'higher death rate of former years was largely due both to the scar city and the impurity of the public water supply. It frequently happened . that' this supply was pumped from an adjacent river, that was carrying the drainage of towns and villages living nearer its source. The water was dis tributed to the city mains without suffi cient filtration, and to the chemical impurities was added a larger or smaller amount of organic matter. which was an easy breeder Of typhoid and kindred diseases. River supply was supplemented by so-called wells, which were often mere cisterns for the catching of surface rainfall, and such filth as might enter by seepage .from adjacent sewers or the neighboring ptable or burial ground. . Today the water supply of a great city is gathered high up among the hills, at the un- eontaminated headwaters of the rivers - The supply is frequently impounded at a point from fifty to one hundred miles from the city. New York city draws! its supply from the Croton river, forty miles distant. Liverpool has its vyrnwy reservoir situated, seventy miles dis tant among the Welsh hills." . Birmingham is preparing to get its water from the mountains in Wales far away from that city. The river more often proves a source of contagion and death than of pleasure and health. Says The Scientific American, and let all heed its teachings, the cesspool Is growing mercifully scarce (at least in America and England), and the public - are fast awakening to the fact that the discharge of sewage, into a river is fraught with danger to ev.ery city or hamlet that is built upon its banks, The triumphs of sanitary engineering are nowhere more manifest than in ' those elaborate plants which have been established for the purification -of sew age and the recovery of its organic . matter as a valuable commercial product., i t - No people are awake to their own interests, to their own well being, to their chances of living who are blind to sanitary laws, indifferent to scien tific sanitation, careless as to the pub lic health. They should read up. No town needs worse a sewage than this town of Wilmington. - Ride over the place, walk about many streets at night and get the answer. With cer tain houses all over the city to be counted by hundreds sending up their maladorous gases and effluvia day and night, and expect an improved health condition and a lower rate. of mortality is as fatuous as to pile up Inflammable material upon a burning mass and expect not to add to its heat land consuming power. The noxious gases in the d veilings mean sickness, may mean death. They should be re moved. It is . possible to reduce the death rate, to lessen sickness, to purify the atmosphere, to sweeten life. Sani tary science can do this." 'Our house jholders, tax payers, intelligent voters teachers and physicians should consid er well these things. Augusta, Ga., -Memphis, Tenn., New Orleans and many other southern cities are- strik ing examples of the improved health, lower mortality and more enjoyments in living from sanitary reforms insti- tuted.

PURE BALLOT AND FREE ELEC TION IN RHODE ISLAND. v . : . , . - You heard from the election iiuRhode Island. , It was all one way. The New York Mall and -Express; intense repub lican protection tooter, saJ4; - " "At the recent elections in Rhode-Is land the democrats carried only one town in the whole state. That is how one of the greatest manufacturing re gions of New -England 'repudiated the Dingley 111." .. - , I , All for the robber system. But at tend. What are the facts? What hap pened : in -"Little RhodyT What fine methods" prevailed? iWhat honorable course was, pursued? Read and learn. The fact is the . working men were bought just as they had been bought all through the north in the November election of last year. They were treat ed as "dumb driven cattle" and taken to the political slaughter pen of prin ciples and desires.- Do you know what sort of a paper is The Boston Herald? It is the largest circulated paper in New England, is independent, and able and with, character. It is essentially a great paper. ; It is a good witness and is close by the little state. There was gross corruption in the election in Rhode Island. Take this evidence of The Boston Herald: "The regular quotations for votes in the Rhode island election this year were belowthe usual price, chiefly for the reason that things were all one way down there. There -was a brisk demand in. some of theenatorial and representative districts, however, and the 'price of votes was $10 each, or $5 down and $5 more if the election result ed all right. That money was used by path, sides is -an assertion basedoot only on Jthef signs, which were patent to the most obtuse, but also-on the admis sions of the men who peddled It and those who received it. In one town where there are 630 -voters, it is calcu lated that there were not more than 250 w-ellJiwhose votes were not .for sale to the highest . bidder. There was no attempt to stop bribery. It was accepted as a matter of course, and the regret appa rently "was not that money was being usea, out tnai so mucn oi it was Deing used to Jbeat good men." This is at the close of the nineteenth century. The scene is boastful New England rich, literary; educated New England. Rhode -Island is the scene of the play. The democrats had but little showing from the start, reallv made but little fight, but the rivalry was be tween republican, factions. The price for votes ruled rather lower than usual as The Herald states. It was all one way-rior a nign roDDer tax. tiere we see how the 'free ballot is preserved and a pure electorship ' is guaranteed. Men", are bought as you would, buy ducks and geese, at so much the head. This is corruption of the ve,ry worst kind. It deprives the voters of man hood and free suffrage, it humiliates and disgraces the voters, it puts the control of everything in the hands of the moneyed class, the factory owners? the bosses. We have seen no "comments upon these outrages in either northern or southern newspapers that supported Cleveland and the ghost ticket ,or went over to McKinley and robber protec tion. Perhaps they just overlooked it of purpose. - HOME FOLKS. If "Judge" Purnell did draw those "extrememly defective" insane asylum bills they show he Is a very bad draw er, .and if he is no better lawyer than legislator he would be' over "burdened with a judicial robe. Mr. Frank B. Wimbish. of Oxford, who gets a piece of pie as penitentiary bookkeeper, was not long ago a demo crat was, if we remember correctly. chairman of the county committee. He later on but before the- election "jined the radikils" and now is up at the counter with a slice of pie. The Chicago .Electrical Journal has a brief biography .of a Wilmlngtonian Dr. Francis B. Bishop that will in terest some qi our readers. He was born- in this city 13th August 1853. He had a common school education. His parents were poor, he began to seek his living at fourteen. He clerked for years for John Dawson, married at 21, studied medicine for five years under Dr. H. S. Norcum. graduated in 1883, at the medical college of Charleston and from the University of Maryland. Located at Southport, went to Wash ington after two ye,ars where he has since practiced, "with Neurology and Electro-Therapentlcs as a specialty, and has built up one of the largest and most lucrative practices in this line in his section of the country. Dr, Bishop is president of the Medical and Surgical Society of District of Colum bia, having been elected in September, 1896, during his absence in Boston while attending the meeting of the American Electro-Thejrapeutic Association, of which body he is one of the vice-pres idents. In the spr4ng of 196 Dr. Bish op was elected director of the Electro- Therapeutic Cinic at the Eastern dis pensary at Washington' This shows energy, go, ability, sue cess. The Messenger likes to record the success of North Carolinians, young and old, at home or abroad. .SNAPS. , Dr. Hunter was so guilty of offering bribes to get elected to the United States senate from Kentucky, he could not stand the pressure, the exposure, and has withdrawn. He is the republi can nominee. sAh! The intendendant of finances in Cuba, makes a bad showing for the ad ministration. He " places the expendi tures for 1897-98 at $121,000,00, and has estimated the receipts at $30,000,000. much of the latter being expected to come from new imposts. i . I The Spanish government has decided to withdraw 40,000 troops from Cuba? What does that portent? Is it a confes sion of failure and a move "for iconcil iation, or has Weyler's lying reports so deceived the Spaniards at home that they think "the rebellion" well nigh ended? Report from Washington is that the silver republican senators will vote with their party for the awful tariff. Some democrats are also counted on in the senate. With a high protection tariff and a single gold standard what is lacking to make the country perfect ly happy? The great merchant of Chicago, per haps the greatest in this country, Mar shall Field, was in Washington recent ly. He is brainy, wise, experienced." He' came to confer with the senate commit tee on the tariff. This occurred: "When asked if he had anything to say on the subject, he replied: 'No, except the one general remark that It is the worst tariff bill" I ever saw, not only as regards the rates of duty im posed, but in the methods of imposing them. There Is scarcely a line in the bill that will not have to be interpreted by the supreme court.' " That was an awful account of the . butcheries of helpless men, women, and children given by Mr. William Law, of Worcester, Mass., but now in the Cuban army, i It is most sickening and shows how terribly merciless and devilish the Spanish'soldiers are. Take this: "I saw .'fast week the bodies of three beautiful little Cuban girls, aged 8, 6, and 4 years respectively; of their moth !. womari about 30 andJtwo old wo men, possibly 60 years of age, alKin bne heap, with their throats cut. The wpmen and the oldest gin- naa oeea ravished by the soldiers of General ro-oirion - Their war seems to be on women and children." S SHARPS AND FLATS. Hark! hear; The extreme goldbug New York Evening Post says this and it admits Just what all the bimetalllst papers have asserted time and again, with an Important qualification, how ever The Evenine Post says:' ."We had good times 'till the panic of 1893. We have had bad times since, as com pared with the years immediately pre ceding." The "good times" prior to 1893 were threatening times and for vpArs were erowing worse, so that the course of Cleveland in 1893, intensified the bad and invited worse times, which, I came. Yes, the New York gold tooter is correct "we have bad bad times since." f Alas! how true, and tens of millions of our people can certify to the j truth of the statement. The Wilson tariff was pot remotely an ideal or a "desirable tariff, but was a combination of protection," low tax and free trade. It was loaded with wrongs and absurdities, and The 'Mes senger condemned it from .the start It was "a makeshift." The- fact that it was nearly 40 per cent, average on thousands of articles, shows it was not J a democratic tariff in a true sense, and not as much-of a "revenue tariff only" as the party promised, and ex pected. But is produced more revenue than the lying republican organs state, It pajd our debts abroad very consid erably. It did not produce as to revenue that a better bill would have done, but it has produced a better balance of trade for the United States than any other bill has done. The difference in 1896 of exports over imports was nearly 50 per cent. For this year it is alto-, gether probable that the excess will be $300,000,000. The following table makes the show ing, the present year, as yet uitexpired, being only an estimate: ..' Excess of Exports. 1893.. $ " 86,314,802 1894 ............. 278,849,605 1895 132,736,028 1896 213,53130 1897 335,000,000 Total ............. .$1,046,432,065 This is a very large balance in fawr of the United States 'for five years. THE WOBLD'S.DEBTS. The Messenger gave recently statis tics showing the growth of" expendi tures, inthe United States, It is in structive to learn of what the Indebt edness of our country is and of the other .nations. Tere is a vast indebt edness and it Is growing daily. The increase in the last twenty years is enormous. If great debts are good and show prosperity and permanency of in stitutions and government then all the nations are well based and extremely sound. In 1873, the worlds debt in Eng lish money was 4,200,000,000. In 1875 it was 4,275,000,000 an increase in two years of 75,000,000. It is estimated in England that the world's debts to day are 5,800,000,000. Of all countries France is the heaviest "burdened. Its many wars, and particularly its last war with Germany has left France sorely burdened. The latest estimate is 1,200,000,000 or in our money over $5,500,000,000. This is double the debt of Great Britain. Here is the table Dubllshed in The London Pair Mall iGazette: I 1875. 1895. Country. (Estimated.) (Estimated) France 900,000,000 1,200,000,000 Great Britain.. Russia Italy United States.. Spain .. . . Austria-H'g'y Germany Australia Turkey Portugal India , . . .

Some have reduced their debts in a score of years, the increase being 848,000,000 or $4,440,000,000. The inter est to be paid each year upon the enor mous debt is more than $1,000,000,000, at low rates. Greece owes about. $145,000,- 000, and Turkey some $600,000,000. The interest on the pubic debt of the United States is about 43 cents per capita an nually. This is lower than that of the 'European" nations with perhaps the one exception of Germany.

We said that at last the peo ple, were awake and thinking, and we took great heart for the future. Now that the centre of gravity sends it in the other direction, are we to call it eccentricity, and say that it doesn't count?' As the predatory gentleman who was lifting pullets from a neigh bor's hennery in the darkness of night observed to his scrupulous assistant. who was prodding him with questions concerning the moral significance of the prooeduee. "One more question like that would upset the whole system of theology!" Philadelphia Record. Mr. Gladstone's letter to Dam pzes, a Macedcnhtn leader, is a most important public document, for it says with au thority what the liberals and afl en lightered organs of opinion the world over have been saying all along that the Erglish government is obviously being usei tyj-Russia to bolster up the Turkish empire, and that the concertj instead or settling the eastern ques tion, is continuing inflaming It. "It Is not the people or government of Great Britain that are directing tne course of the Cretan and Greek questions. Un- der the present deplorable scheme all our government has to do is to plead for its opinions as if it were before a tribunal of those youthful despots, the emperors of Germany and Russia, and! to abide by and help execute their final determination. They tow Aus tria (behind them, and through one of the two have a lesistless hold upon France." New, York 'Evening Post. The following paragraph is from the New York 'Mail and Express: "Great Britain aoesn t hke the .Dingley bill, Germany has protested against 4t. It aly and ths Netherlands have recorded their disapproval. France, accordingto official reports, is about to register fier displeasure. What more vigorous in dorsement of the proposed tariff legis lation could the republican party ask or the United States expect?" A more perfect expression of protectionist feel ing than is contained -in the paragrph is impossible. The countries named are the greatest buyers of our. pro duets. If they did not buy .many of our producers would be reduced to a miserable state or poverty, cuxo tne protectionist mina tney are impiaoaDie enemies. The fact that they-wish to sell as' well as to buy proves them to be enemies. Their protest against a law which makes it more difficult for com mercial intercourse with the United 'States to be maintained is therefore the best possible proof that the law is good one. Jacksonville Times-Union. The widely spread reports of profita ble activity in southern industries, par ticularly in southern cotton manufac turing, not only alarmed the Massachu setts manufacturers, but rendered it necessary, it seems, that the latter should take some steps to discredit the rumored industrial 'boom in the south. in order to quiet the restlessness both of labor and capital in the eastern mills. It is sought o accomplish, this latter necessity now by publishing the report of some , kind of , a commission that visited the southern establish ments and -made copious notes and compaBisons. The commission profess to have found no occasion for eastern alarm in the industrial condition in the south. They" declare'- that southern operatives work sixty-six and seventy- two hours per week where the Massa chusetts hands work fifty-four; that the increase in cotton manufaeturine is not rapid and coiripekitjon is not dan, gerous to tne nortnern mius. uney found the field, they declare, by no means inviting either to labor or capi tal. This is all very well as a means of allaying eastern fears, but it does not disturb the fact that the cotton in dustry so far as developed in the south is in a most prosperous condition. It does not negative the proposition that southern mills are generally, paying large dividends and- the report falsi fies the situation when it declares that cotton manufacturing is not rapidly increasing in the south. -Houston Post.
