Mexican Herald: The. city of
Mazatlan is paying dearly for its
long neglect of. the only means of
preserving the health of communi
ties. The hasty resolve to clean tlie
drains and disinfect the noorer
quarters is tantamount to a confes
sion that these duties have been
slighted. The houses of the poor,
where infection has made them
perilous to the public health, are to
be burned, and the owners com
pensated.
Mazatlan has its poorer quarters
or "barrios," where the slum popu
lation, consisting of Chinoe coolies,
Lfishermen, and thc.waifs and strays
of a modern town, has congregated
and where disease has always been
iuick to break out. The authorities
have not attended to the poor peo
pie as they lould have done. It is
the old storjT, and the same may be
said of most cities, even in this
boasted twentieth century. Wher
cver those are slums, foul and
jl dirty tenements, swarming popuia- j
jtion unfurnished with water in
-proper quantities, and sanitary con
veniences 'unknown, tiiero will di
ease he rampant, and when the
plague, ax cholera, or typhus wines
it Gnds the soil congenial to it:-elf.
irin in the dirty
iquarlcreof towns and cities and
Ifrom them spread to the hmt
j the rich and the merely well-to-do.
Thus it? the solidarity of humanity
illustrated. A town may not safely
without grave jieril, allow the ful
teuem eute to remain filthy. Gitod
municipai housekeeping implies
hgiving torery man, woman and
child a-dtcent honie. If tie children
of the pr die oif with some epi
domical disease. I- swnj that the
children tf the oumfoVtstUlc classes
will he affected and eorttrihute their
rpart to the toll of death.
Every cay m lh country hould
hegin now, io clesui up, to institute
(measures of tenement liouse reform,-
Mazatlan, Mex.. January
Tliore have been 107 deaths from
the plague since January 1. The
deaths on the loth numbered sOven,
and inanv new vases are r.p rtTd.
The number of wooden houses
burned is 10t.
Two coaches in which plagtic-
stricken people sought to csiapo
from the citv will he burned.
A young workman's ijmther died
from the plague at the family house.
Pome sanitary inspectors entered
the house and took possession of
tho corpse. The young man was
sent to the depaitnient of oiM rva
tion. The man's wife ana i-ister
were abent at the time iI 1L0 in
spectors' vi-it and aftemar!-d! - ap
peared, fearing to be taken to the
lazaretto. This morning one of the
women was found dead from thtt
plague, and tin- other has not been
heard of. The young man ins not
been attacked by the disease, but
has lost his mind.
Most of the Indie's of the lngher
class have left the city and hardly
any women are ecnm the streets.
Trade is reduced to the lowest
terms.
Great disappiontment is felt at
the nonarrival yesterday ofseium
on this steamer from Gu tna.

Mevieo City, Jan. Jv,". It is be
lieved that the decision oi n. man
auement of the Chinese Commer
cial Steamship Company to operate
-teainers direet between China and
the Mexican port of Mar.ranillu
will do much towards solving the
problem of securing laborers in
Mexico. The representathe- of the
company state that they can bring
a superior class of Chinese laborers
to Mexico.

A MEXICAN PLANT.
The canagria is a plant that grows
wild and' abundantly on the sandy
plains of the northern states of
Mexico, and contains a powerful
tannin, and a coloring principle
which gives the hides a peculiar
color. This plant has not been ex
ported in quantity, hut in view o
its valuable qualities, the depart
ment of foment having a consider
able quantity of the roots prepared
for shipment to the Mexican consuls
in Europe and the Mexican com
mission for the St. Louis exposition
has been specially charged by Secre
tary Fernandez to collect extensive
samples for the Mexico exhibit.
This canagria plant will probably
become an article of considerable
export as jts qualities- become
