THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON: THE EVENING STAR has tne fullest Local Circulation of any Newspaper in the Werld, and as an Advertising Medium is worth mere than all the other papers published ip Washington. od New York Office: Room 93, Tribune Building. —lllee—_—__—__= The Star Out of Town. Tae Evexrxo Star will be sent by mail to any address in the United States or Canada for such period as may be desired, at the rate of fifty cents per month. €3° But all such orders must be accompanied by the money, or the paper cannot be sent, as no accounts are kept with mail subscriptions. gy ‘The injury to the capital by the destruction of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal is probably greater and threatens to be more lasting than that from the direct effect of the flood upon shipping, wharves, and property along the river front and in the submerged district, or that which has been inflicted upon the Potomac flats improvement. This historic canal, the first of its kind in the country, which Washing- ton planned and which received its start- ing stroke of the spade from John Quincy Adams, President, has apparently run its course. The causes of its death are an anti- quated and non-progressive policy in respect to improvements, the competition of railroads, the management of its affairs in political in- stead of business lines, and Potomac freshets. ‘The canal has been permitted to remain in much the same condition since its completion in 1850, and it has been easily distanced by its business- like railroad competitors. But even in the present desperate plight of the canal and of the corporation financially the President of the company does not entirely abandon hope. He say! We, however, again express our earnest hope that the stockholders will, in their wis- dom, make some provision to relieve the canal from its present embarrassment, and maintain this work as a great waterway. The state of New York, pursuing a broad and liberal policy, has enlarged its great Erie canal three times since its first construction, has declared ita free waterway. and is now engaged in doubling the length of its locks on the precise plan recom- mended by the managements of this canatevery year since 1575. Every commercial body and every intelligent shipper commends the action of the state of New York, that it is wise in the interest of commerce and profitable to the peo- ple of that great state. We do not doubt that the same policy applied to the Chesapeake and Ohio canal would be beneficial and profitable to the people of our state.” The state of Maryland, however, which has already invested seven millions in the canal and receives from it no returns, has failed to imitate the progressive policy of New York, and is hardly likely to adopt it now when over half a million dollars must be spent outright in repairs before the policy can find a canal upon which to operate. The private stockholders cannot afford the undertaking, nor can George- town, though its interest in the retention of the canal is great. Appeat may be made to the United States to add to its holding in the canal and to carry out the scheme of its improvement, but there is not much ground for hope of relief from this source, The competing railroad which holds the ma- jority of the repair bonds of 1378, with a prior lien upon the property of the canal, has no reason to assist in continuing the existence of the waterway. Unless some one of the desig- nated parties in interest shall interfere the lis dead. The whole work, its franchise: water power are liable to be sold to satisfy the lien of the repair bonds and that sale will doubtless tuke place if nobody is moved to furnish relief. The loss to Georgetown directly and to the whole city in- directly by the closing of the canal will be great. The city will hope to the last that the canal may be again used, and the business men of Georgetown, who profit so largely by the canal, will undoubtedly contribute largely to any general movement among the parties in interest for its repair. Both the trade and manufactures of Georgetown in their present conditions are largely dependant upon the ex- istence of the canal. The manufactures may be preserved by the restoration of the George- town level of the canal from the feeder dam, beyond Chain bridge down to Georgetown, and every effort will doubt- less be made to accomplish at least this extent of repairing. Otherwise a change of power from water to steam must be made, and trade must adapt itself to the changed con- ditions. The water power at Georgetown is very valuable, and the restoration of this short stretch of canal would, it is thought, be profit- able. A serious situation anda very trouble- some question confront Georgetown and the people of the capital. There are a hundred different ways in which Washington industries and the interests of District consumers will be unfavorably affected by the loss of direct com- munication with the coal and grain fields and with other sources of supply furnished by the canal. Ifthe waterway cannot be restored, a railroad must take its place. ————— The President and the Commissioners have wisely and with commendable public spirit undertaken the direction of the local effort to render assistance to the survivors of the Johns- town disaster. That effort needs to be rapid and concentrated, and their action will tend to aid the movement in these respects. Food and clothing for the living, shelter, medicines and nursing for the maimed or sick, means of burial for the dead, and measures to avert the pestilence which is threatened by the decay of the unburied dead, are all urgeutly needed. Let Washington's response be liberal! Her ‘own sufferings from flood can only deepen her sympathy with the greater sufferers, It may be noted as a curious demonstration of this factor in generosity that the largest contribu- tions to the relief of the Johnstown survivors are the Pennsylvania railroad and the Cambria Iron Works, which have themselves lost mill- ‘Whs by the flood. oo The damage to the work on the Potomac flats which Taz Stas has feared and predicted has come. The dawdling, pitiful policy of squeez- ing every peuny grudgingly appropriated for this improvement, while the harbors of the creeks of the nation revelled in rich endow- ments. agaiust which the capital has vainly pro- tested bas worked out its logical result. Having wisely determined that the flats should be re- claimed, and Washington's harbor improved, sad having fairly entered upon this labor, the nation should have pushed the work toa speedy ending. Failures to propose sufficient appro- Priatious, and failures to propose any appro- Priation whatever, and the failure of appro- priation bills in which, after hard struggle, some small provision for the work had been made have kept the unfinished improvements, upon which hundreds of thousands of dollars had been expended, exposed to destruction from any sudden rise in the Potomac. When the work is resumed it should be underteken ‘under an appropriation sufficient to complete it snd should be steadily pursued until the point of danger from the Potomac is passed. $$ The crying need of Ireland, according to the Balfour theory, is to be drained. Emigration statistics since the British government set out to suppress the home-rule movement indicate that the green isle is being drained as fast as practicable—of its sturdy peasantry, at least. a If the submerging of the low-lying section of ‘Washington results under the vigilance and in- telligent labor of health authorities and citi- zens ina more thorough spring cleaning of cellars, back yards and street nuisances, it will ‘be in one respect at least a blessing in disguise, ——————— ne in.

JUNE 4, 1889, Tae Pasas Rovaz. “Ovex CONTINUED. ‘While bemoaning the disastrous results of the ‘storm to its Twelfth Annual Summer “Opening” the Palais Royal refers with pleasure and pride to the ‘many letters received from out-of-town and resident Patrons, One writes: “4 good customer for tuelve wars” The sympathy of another is gretifying: “Fou cannet be more disappointed than I, for I always look forward to the “Opening Days.” Many dozens of letters, all expressing confidence and sympathy and promising such patronage, !f the “Open- irs” is continued, that the lost days shall be forgot- tm in the harvest that shall come. The Palais Royal replies that it handily reerets the pitiless rain, since it has brought with it the knowl- edge of so many and coufident friends.
