A Change of Policy.
It is authoritatively announced from
Canton that the McKinley Administra-
tion and the leaders, in the national
organization of the Republican party
will not attempt to cross the political
bridge of the year 1900 before they
reach int—in other words, that four
years of national prosperity would bet-
ter equip the party for the next Presi-
dential contest than four years’icon-
stant agitation of the sound money is-
sue. They will therefore devote their
energies to the redemption of Republi-
can pledges and'the restoration of good
times. This change of policy appears
to possess a large measure of political
wisdom. Let the Bryanites and the
silver mine owners andthe bimetallists
rage. The best weapon withwhich to
fight that horde is good times. Stop
talking and restore the national reve-
aae! '

To Disinfect Street Cars.
In a paper read before the Medioc-
Legal society, Dr. Hance of New York
city, took up with some peculiarity of
detail the stery of his (xperiments
made with cultures of the ordinary
dirt and dust of the city street cars.
He found, as might have been well ex-
pected, that this dust was laden with
disease germs in which the bacillus of
largely predominated.
consumption
This observation corresponds with the
Boards of Health of the country and
the suggestive fact. that consumption
carries off more lives on the continent
than any one disease.’ The explana-
tion, already referred to in these col-
umns, is simple : the prevalence of the
disorder is largely due to a national,
and still more acutely a local habit.
Buta pallative, if not a preventive,
at the spread of consumption germs is
within the means of the street railroad
companies. . If they will insist upon
haying some cheap and easily applied
disinfectant mixed With the water used
for scrubbing out the cars, they can
snake a large difference in the mortal-
ity reports Without adding perceptibly
to the cost of operation.
Immigration to Be Restricted.
It is greatly to the credit of the con-
ference committee of the Senate and
the House on the subject of restricting
immigration that it has succeeded so
readily in coming to an agreement. It
is still more to the credit of the House
that it waived objections to the Senate
amendments and passed the com-
promise bitli by a substantial and satis-
factory majority. With small changes
in the measure as it left the Senate it
has braved the more difficult ordeal;
there is no reason why it should not
pass the Senate at once and then receive
the Executive signature. ‘
It is not to be assumed—indeed its
authors will scarcelyclaim—that it is a
perfect law. The degree of restriction
that an illiterate test as mild as that
which is provided for can effect is
i'necessarilly limited. But it opens the
way for further restriction in case this
is not sufficient to meet
~ mild remed
the case.
There is actually no opposition to
rsstriction'among the American people.
They feel that they are being victim-
iz:d fat the benefit of transportation
companies, and that not only our insti-
tutions but the lives and property of
our people are being jeopardized by
the unregulated ir flow of anarchists,
, iubendiaries and murderers from the
- slums of Europe.
It :is; . . me. out the criminal elen
inept, the Zukers and their breed who
amass money by organized arson and
murder, that a new law is- demanded;
honest and thrifty immigrants are still
welcome as ever. . But we must protect
our families and our country against
the moral and material plagues of
‘ Europe, and the illiteracy test law is
the best means yet devised for doing so.
' It should pass without delay.

HEALTH or ran OZAR.
It Is Fairly Good, but Grand Duke Mi-
chael Is Quite Sick.
Lo'Nnox, Jan. 29.-—-A dispatch to The
Telegraph, dated at St. Petersburg, says:
“Count Vorontroff Daschkoff, minister of
the imperial court, authorizes me to affirm
in the most emphatic terms that the health
of the czar is excellent and that his maj-
esty receives the government reports daily,
takes his usual walks and makes his ac—
customed visits. He has in no way changed
the routine of his life during the last few
weeks.”
Grand Duke Michael is, however, suffer“
ing from a serious attack of inflammation
of the lungs, according to the St. Peters-
burg correspondent of The Telegraph. His
eldest son has been hastily summoned from
the Caucasus region. The empress down'
ager pays daily visits to the Grand_Duke
Michael, and it is expected she will con-
tinue'to do so during his illness.
A dispatch to The Daily News from
Berlin,_quoting from the St. Petersburg
letter to Die Leipziger Nachrichten, makes
statements which throw editorial light
upon the troubles of the czar. This corre-
spondent of Die Leipziger N achrichten
says that the czar really suffers from noth-
ing more than an ordinary boil, complicat-
ed with nervous affection due to the inci-
dents accompanying his accession, court
political struggles and numerous intrigues.
These disputes are ostensibly over the
financial schemes proposed by M. de Witte,
Russian minister of finance. This really
amounts to a. struggle for ascendancy be-
tween the old Russian party and the Prog-
ressists. So warm was the discussion at
a recent council meeting that the czar
broke down entirely, tears gathered in his
eyes, and he. buried his face in his hands
and. cried: “Do what you like. It is all
the same to me. ’3 ‘ '
