PURE WATER AND MALARIA.
in Malarial sections of the State,
and there are many, interest is ex
cited over the statement that, where
we drink pure water only, such as is
collected in cisterns during winter,
from (dean roots, there is no danger
from malaria.
If this be so, a large section of our
State, now almost abandoned by the
white man a> a place of residence, can
at very slight cost, again be visited,
and dotted witli thriving villages and
happy homes, in this piedmont belt
we are not troubled in this direction.
Very seldom do we hear of any one
sullYring from the effects °f malaria.
Hut, if surface water is the trouble;
if if brings in its ready channels the
germs of malarial trouble,in malarial
regions, why may if not in higher
and more favored localities also con
vey germs of disease and death? It
does; and yet we sit idly by drinking 1
year after year flic water that has
fallen on our premises, percolated
through our soil,and in its downward
passage to our wells, bears along in
solution decayed vegetable and ani
mal life.

JAPAN AS AN INVADER.
’Tis said Japan is preparing for yet
greater efforts towards the conquest
of China. Another army corps is
preparing to land on China’s soil and
push the war until Fokin surrenders.
Japan has shown wonderful vital
ity and considerable skill. She has
been quick to see her advantage and
push it while it is at its flood.
It is true she has been dealing with
a nation that relies upon its past
glory, its many centuries of empire,
and is therefore dead to all spirit of
progress. Hut China with her wealth,
and China with her millions, and her
continental strength should have
better resisted the island empire of
Japan.
Even the snows of winter do not
send the invading army into winter
quarters. China is to have no rest.

It is some gratification to know
that our post office has been raised to

[Correspondence of Tin: Lkuouk.]
Washinoton, Jan. Ib—Financial
chaos reigns supreme in both |
branch' s of congress, since t fie ad- ;
ministration currency bill was prema
turely killed in the house. Scores of
financial hills have been prepared by
Senators and Representatives, but
most of them have no supporters out
side of their authors. There is much
talk of a compromise measure which
is to be supported by administration
democrats and republicans; also that
Secretary Carlisle is to prepare
another currency bill so drawn as to
gain the support of the silver men,
who claim the credit for defeating the
other currency hill prepared by him;
but up to "this time it is all talk ;
there is nothing intangible in sight,
either to support or to oppose, and
nine out of every ten members of con
gress interrogated will frankly admit
their belief that no financial legisla
tion is possible at the present session.
Senator Teller voiced the opinion of
a large majority of congress when he
said: “There are about six week re
maining to this congress. Now does
any person seriously believe that a
revision of this vast currency system
can be accomplished in that time?
Why, then, are congress and the
country stirred up by these frantic
appeals from the treasury?”
It may not be true, as has been al
leged, that Senators Hill and Quay
have entered into a conspiracy to de
feat the appropriation to put the in
come tax into operation, but the ac
tions of those two senators since the
urgency appropriation bill, which
conta’ins that appropriation, has been
before the senate, indicates a oneness
of thought on the subject by them.
According to those who ought to
know, the defeat of this appropriation
will not prevent the collection of the
tax; it will merely make it more dif-
lieult.
Speaking of the income tax, Sena
tor Telit r. in replying to a speech of
Senator Dili against it, gave some in
formation not generally remembered
concerning its constitutionality,
which Senator Hill had attacked.
He readied the fact that one hundred
years ago tlie Supreme court of the
Fnited States had laid down a rule
which governed the case of an income
tax. and that that rule had been fol
lowed up to 1SS0 without any break;
that the Supreme Court had declared
in iSSO that the income tax was con
stitutional, and had defined what is a
direct, tax and what is not a
tax in language so plain li“TT"there
‘•''i' 1 '! he non^rfA-tkrQT^ it. not-
glcarned articles to the
now being printed in the
newspapers.
those interested in other legislation
are becoming alarmed on account of
the financial muddle in congress.
The outlook for general legislation is
not encouraging, as tj
‘ -4^011 fib^^^——. .
mar appropifiTiTN^jpl^^rnTcli always
have the right of way, are a long ways
from being disposed of. Even the
wealthy railroad lobby, which is here
in the interest of the pooling bill, is
getting uneasy, although the hill has
passed the house and is certain to b<
favorably reported to the senate.
1 lie proposition to have congress
authorize t he construction of new ves
sels for the navy in government navy
yards, which has been vigorously
pushed along by congressmen from
states in which government navy
yards are located, lias received a very
decided setback, in the shape of the
official figures showing the time con
sumed in building and the cost of the
cruisers Cincinnati and Raleigh, built
respectively in the New York and
Xorfolk navy yards. It took nearly
five years to build these cruisers in
government navy yards—double the
time needed to build similar vessels
in private establishments—and the
two cost more money thim would have
been asked for three by private ship
builders.
Whatever maybe one’s individual
opinion concerning the present gov
ernment of Hawaii, those who have
watched its cottrsf in itsdealingswith
the I uiled States and other countries
are compelled to give it credit for
having displayed superior diplomatic
ability. And its latest move is
several points ahead of anything it
has yet done in that line. It is al
most certain to gain, and it cannot
possibly lose, whatever way Congress
may reply to its request for a modifi
cation of that clause of its reciprocity
treaty witii the L’niled States which
prohibits its selling or leasing tiny
part of its territory to a foreign
government, in order that it may
lease one of its uninhabited islands
td Grout lirituin, to he used ns a sta
tion by the Canuda-Auslralia cubic
system, which as yet only exists on
paper, and the laying of which is
problably largely dependent upon
Congressional action upon this polite
request. Fresidcnt Cleveland thinks
the request ought to be granted, but
many Congressmen think it would ho
the height of unwisdom to do so, but
as it cannot be refused with decency
unless the refusal hr accompanied by
tiie proposal that the Fnited States
will lay a cable, they are in a quun-
(Iry what to do.
