WASHINGTON. eee . Janeary 7, 1893. == eee = THE EVENING STAR basa regular and permanent circulation in Washington three times larger than that of any other paver ia the city. As = local NEWS paper and Ad~ ‘Vvertising Mediam it has me competitor. = Of the many serious threats against the public health none are more formidable than that foully sluggish stream which winds its fester- img and disease-breeding length between the Danks that afew years ago bounded the pure waters of Rock creek. It is to the removal of that abominable nuisance that Engineer Com- missioner Rossell bas really addressed himself im a report on the proposition to cover Rock reek from Masaachusettsavenneextended down to the river's edge. Much time hes evidently been devoted to investigation; much good may be done if the suggestions are adopted. With admirable lucidity Capt. Rossel! calls attention to the cholers-inviting conditions which now prevail in the region of the noisome boundary which separates Washington from Georgetown. Of course the primary trouble {s in the presence of sewage which finds in the creek bed its only eutlet, but the pollution assumes its present inguating proportions because the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company's dam prevents ‘# reasonably rapid flow of the odorous semi- liquid. The primary trouble will be rem ved almost entirely when the system of intercept- ing sewers recommended by Capt Rossel! has been completed. Twice has ho estimated for the execution of this vitally important pro- fect, but Congress has never paid half as much attention to his propositions as thir merit and his earnestness deserved. Compara- tively inexpensive when put in operation, and certainly efficient, this system of intercepting sewers should be appro- pristed for end completed with all possible rapidity. In the meantime there are temporary remedies ( pointed out in this report), easy of application. The floodgates of the canal dam should be opened nightly so as to give reasonable speed to the current and all possible assistance should be given the clear- ance by flushing with such quantities of water asecan be accommodated behind milldams in the upper portion of the creek. From the sanitary point of view—and at this time that is overwhelmingly the most important— the Commissioner does not recommend the arching over of Rock Creek. The intercepting sewers will, he says, do the work of removing sewage matter “more safely, speedily and economically.” Even were the gigantic arch constructed nothing but clear ereek water wogid pass through it for by that time the sewer system in that neighborhood will be complete. It would be decidediy objec- tlonabie to have a continuation of the present evil—n great body of offensive matter forced out into the river to spread itself along the | water front of the entire city—and this is what Capt. Rossell is endeavoring to prevent. He Delieves the safest and best solution of the problem involved in the subject covered by his Teport to be found in the completion of the m- tercepting-sewer system and in the District | Teguletion of the channel of the then clean creek. He does not forget, though, that a closer union of the city and ite western suburb may some day be actually necessary, but is quite positive that such a proposition is of leas Present importance than the one which in- volves the health of every resident. Capt. Rosell is right. ‘The arched construction may be, will be, demanded within a few Purification of Rock creck must take place at ence. It would seem as though immediate relief can be secured by the District's purchasing the canal company's dem and removing it. The company can easily arrange for the transfer of ite boats at some point west of Georgetown without any injury to ite business. w0ee Suburban Kensington has a public library and reading room, open at night. Washington, the capital of the republic, has not. The value of the pubiie library as.an educational factor is recognized both in the old world and the new. ‘Carlyle once asked: “Why can there not be a majesty's library in every county town? There ix © majesty's jail and gallows in every one.” Nearly every New England or Middle States town hase majesty's library—a library of the American majesty—the people. In these sections the library is on an equal footing in the American educational system with the public school. In large cities it is also a beaithfal substitute for the saloon ‘nd pool room. What little Kensington and a hundred other towns enjoy the capital lacks, ‘The great government libraries here contain more than # million volumes—the republic's Tichest literary deposit. But the eonditions under which they are accessible practically sbut out the mass of Washingtonians who are compelled to labor during the daylight hours. The majority of the people of the capital are in the position of men starving in a granary, or famishing with literary thirst thongh sur- rounded by an ocean of books, like the ancient mariner with “Water, water everywhere, nor any drop to drink.” Twa Stam has repeatediy urged the passage of the public brary bill now pending in Con- gress. It is seriously hoped that the project ‘Will receive immediate and favorable attention. | wee While the inangural committee is discussing | the question of personal escort for President- elect Cleveland on the 4th of March and is re-| ceiving proffers of service from var fous military Dordies it might be well to remember that right here ie the home of « cavalry organization that | bears the proud title of “The President's | Troop.” Why may not these soldiers do dis- | tinguished escort duty that day?

After more than 35 years of incessant toll, many failures and extreme hard- ships, Dr. Sanche has presented to suf- fering humanity bis perfect instru- ment—The Electropoise ‘*Victory"—as ® medium through which disease is surely and speedily cured without the use of medicine. Although for many years Dr. Sanche produced cures with former inv nt:ons, these means were not adapted to gen- eral use, being crude, unjractioal and unreliable. In the Electropoise “*Vic- tory" he has found and produced the long-soucht desiaeratwm—a small pock- etable instrument, simple and effec- tual. ‘There is nothing new in the principle of curing disease by OXYGEN, and in the Electropoive “*Victory” you simp! have the perfect METHOD of supplying it—by absorption. ‘The methods of the past cenerations are not the methods of today. The constant druewing the systey with nos- truins isnot the medicine for this en- lightened age. The inisputable fact ‘that ft has cured hundreds of well- known personages in this city should be evidence enough that it will cure you. If prejudiced or skeptical, at least in- vestivate it before condemning. Many of our physicians are using the Electro- poise “Victory” and resommending it, especially for Insomnia, Con- stipation and Nervous troubles, but this is not all the Electropoise **Vic- tory” will do.
