PLAGUE IN AUCKLAND.
The hews that a death has occurred in Auckland from bubonic plague will create no little alarm throughout the Dominion. The outbreak has been kept comparatively quiet (one can hardly say discreetly); but now that a fatal case has occurred, the public conscience will be uneasy until'it is satisfied that every pos-, sible step has been taken to prevent the disease from spreading. -So far as Masterton is concerned, we are'not so far removed from the plague area as to be absolutely immune. Goods and correspondence are constantly arriving, and it is no uncommon thing y find'rats in railway cars. The local Board of Health —indeed, every Board of Health dri the Dominion—should set up a vigorous crusade against'rats, and see to it that the utmost cleanliness is observed.
