NOYES THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circalation [> Washington three times larger than that of any other paper in tke city, As = local NEWS paper and Ad- xertising Mediom it has ne competitor. Optimistic announcements by eminent spe- cialists Lave fot yet calmed the popular mind ‘as to the possibilities of a cholera visitation, nor have the cautiously pessimistic views of ex- perts resulted in that wholesale and wholesome preparation which is the only defense. work should be attended to immediately, every city in the land, but especially is it neces- sary in the ports through which the epidemic | is most likely to enter. Of these the most prominent and the most dangerous is New York, for it is the Mecca of those undesirable | immigrants in whose company contagion is most likely to be found. The peril incident to | the arrival of sch people may be met and for | nile defeated at quarantine, but unless New York's sanitary condition is unexceptionally | good the imported seeds of disease will some- how or other find soil m which to sprout. That New York city is disgracefully dirty # truth which cannot be guinsaid; a condition testified to by thousands of its residents and emphasized by the conservative and accurate New York Times. Moved toa diseussion of the | disgraceful conditions by the approach of warm weather and the absence of Commissioner | Brennan, who is responsible for the street sweeping, but who seems to be enjoying a vaca- | tion, the Times says: “It is eurely time now for a vigorous spring | cleaning. Again there is three months’ ac- cumulation of filth in parts of the city where it | is lixely to do mest harm. The cold werther. which invigorates the well housed and well fed | in sections where the streets have been cleared of the bulk of dirt and refnse, debilitates the eorly protected and ill-fed population in the Riericts that have been left in utter neglect, and it is there that disease and contagion will speedily find a foothold if the conditions are not remedied before the enervating weather setein. The street cleaning department has shown abominable inefficiency ail winter, bat its excnse is gone with the disappearance of snow and Still it goes on in its old slip- shod fashion. is piled up in the up-town streets and left & be scattered and blown about to the discomfort of residents and the damage of health, and in the regiuns of poverty and tenement houses the mass of dirt and garbage lies unmolested. ready to reek and fester as the weather grows warm. It is surely time to put the ‘new system’ into vigorous oper- ation. There is need of a new head to ghe department with the executive capacity’ to make the system work. There is need of superintendents who will superintend. with | ® view to getting the streets clean rather than employing the largest number of de- pendents of political heelers. There is need of workmen who can work and of a discipline that | will make them work. There is law enough, s¥stem enough—on paper—money enough: what i needed in brains and energy. ‘The strect cleaning department ix a branch of the service that is always ‘in evidence.’ Fhe people can see what it does and what it fails to do, and by it the whole municipal government may be judged. It is proving that ‘ammany polities ruins public work. and that the only way to get the results that are paid for | with the people's money 18 to insist upon busi ness meth: ‘The spectre of cholera still looms npon the horizon, and if it gets across the ocean and makes its way through the qyar- aatine lines our only defense will lie in the cleanliness of our streets and habitations, the purity of our water «apply, and the vigilance of the departments of the public service that deal with the sanitary condition of the city.” That is a terrific mdictment of the city government, but any visitor to the country's eastern gateway knows it to be founded on clearly apparent facts. If any city in the land should be scrupulously clean it is New York. Filth is everywhere disgusting; in the nation's clearing house it is eriminal. —— Miss Clara Barton's acceptance ab president of the American National Red Cross of an area of over one mile square of land in Indiana, do- nated to the organization by Dr. J. B. Gardner of that state, will undoubtedly tend to enlarge the scope of usefulness of this international re- lief association. To be possessed of so large an ares of land for a,permanent home, whose anviolability is internationally assured for all time to come, should prove an important factor in facilitating all manner of national and inter- national relief work. Why should not some wealthy philanthropist establish there on a com- prebensive scale an endowed national nurses’ training home. with post graduate courses of lectures, including the study of foreign lan- guages, especially those prevailing on the Amer- ican continent, with @ view to enable experi- enced nurses to render prompt and efficient assistance in any locality of the western hem- isphere, or to the suffering of any nationality domiciled here? Why could not such a place be constituted a kind of international Chau:au- qua for all manner of relief work? _—— A Chicago young woman leaves this week for atrip to the Pacific coast, to Mexico, to the | Atlantic coast and back to Chicago, to be made without setting foot on the ground. is of course to demonstrate the beauties of this country’s railway service. There is no doubt that the United States bas every reason to be proud of the attention given to the comfort of the public that rides. What is needed now is more consideration, through the abolition of gradé crossings, for the personal safety of the publie that walks. —- +02 —— The very worst thing that could happen to some of the men who are engaged in develop- ing discontent would be the materialization of their own ideas. —- With socialists porsuing the priests and esecrating altars at Roubaix, anarchists main- taining @ chronic condition of terror among the peopie and the Panama trouble steadily simmering.

This latter ides might possibly be rejected just now on the ground that people from the uninformed regions would imagine that Tammany was in control. Less spectacular but more practical is the | notion that as most of the ushers are members | of the metropolitan police force they be re- | quired to wear their uniforms and, of course, to | wear a subdued look from the time he entered | the mansion until he saw the President, after | wich his appearance would, if possible, be a | trifle more mbdued than ever.

It may | be that peace, balmy peace, will reign supreme, | thas silver will cease to disturb, that tariff | troubles will be at an end when the White | House ushers wear green and goid coats, royal purple knee breeches, canary stockings, silver- buckled-slippers, mutton-chop whiskers and —— wigs. Speed the da; +e]. Even those who were most hopefal as to the | White Star steamer Naronic must now adinit that the vessel—a magnificent specimen of marine architecture—is at the bottom of the Atlantic. The Naronic left Liverpool February | 11 for New York, having on board about long | seventy sailors and eattlemen, but until the British steamer Coventry arrived at Bremen this morning and reported that on March 4, when in latitude 42 north, longitude 46 west, she passed a lifeboat. painted white and bear- ing the name “ “noone knew where she was or what had happened to her. Twelve hours later another lifeboat from the same ill- fated craft was found adrift. That the vessel bas gone down would now seem certam, but | the catise of the disaster is still a mystery. Col- lision with ice or with another vessel would hardly ‘sink her, for water-tight bulkheads rendered such a happening practically impossible. Only | her decks could have been consumed by fire, 60 | that had the crew keen compelled to forsake her ehe would have floated right in the steamer track. The only tenable theory seems to be that based on » boiler explosion. Such a catas- | trophe would have torn out her sides or made | a clean breach in the bottom, and in her almost {immediate submersion would certainly take | everything down with her that was not hastily cut loose, for on a steamer at sea and in such | weather as prevailed during February and the early portion of this month there is nothing \iying sround unsecured. It may be that some of the crew or the few cattle men on board have survived. Perhaps they | were seen by a passing vemel and are now ap- proaching port; a theory which is supported by the fact that one of the boats was floating on an even keel and had within it evidences of | recent occupation. ‘The latest dispatch says that a ship sighted off Deal, England, signals that there are on board eleven shipwrecked men. These may be the survivors of the Naronie, the sailors who shall lift the veil from what promised to be one of the ocean's dis- tressing mysteries. . If the Minnesota coal combine had been a | little more liberal in diffusing warmth the legislature might not be so busily engeged in making it hot for it now. ‘There continues to be a good deal of warmth in Ireland’s Ulster. —_-+ +2 ___ Has anybody heard trom the Delaware peach crop?

If some | check is not devised for this everlasting hand- shaking, the head of the nation will have to abandon altogether the consideration of such matters as finance and tariff and our foreign relations, giving his time to Jones, Brown and Robinson, and the working of his arm, like a pump handle, for their supposed gratification. — Brookiya Standard- Union. .ee ‘The Groundhog Gone.
