And where, good men, is the harm if the
kissers and kissees be healthy, and true

UNHEALTHFUL HAVANA.
With due allowance for exag
geration, Havana may be truth
fully pronounced a very dirty'
and unhealtbful city. Consider
ing its size and commercial iu>-
portance, it is probably the dir
tiest and most uns.nitary city
in the Western Hemisphere.
Capt. Davis, who was appoint
ed by Gen. Greene some time
ago to make a thorough inspec
tion cf the city , has nearly com
pleted his task and pronounces
Havana the most unsanitary
place, under existing con iitions,
or. the Western side of the At
lantic.
Vienna, with a million and
halt population, he says, aver
ages onlv 25 deaths to the thou
sand and it is called the pesthole
of Europe, while Havana, with
one-sixth as many people, shows
a larger death rate in 11 months
than Vienahasin 12. He esti
mates that the deaths in Havana
this year will outnumber those
of Chicago, which is seven times
as populous by 5,000, and will
excesd the totals of Boston, St.
Louis, San Francisco and Bal
timore combined.
These comparisons show the
imperative necessity for subject
ing Havana to the most rigor
ous system of sanitation it is
poeible to establish with tin
means at hand
The health of our troops, of
the thousands of civilians flock
ing to the c.ty for residence and
investment, and the promotion
of commercial ami agricultural
enterprise in the aland, much
of whose current will flow
through its principal port, em
phasizes the importance of
cleaning, sewering ard disinfect
ing according to the advanced
methods practiced in leadiag
cities of the United States.
Gov, Candler is holding fast

Gen. Joe Whe.ler is not m
