4 THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. ‘TUFSDAY. April 25, 1893. ES CROSBY S. NOT THE EVENING STAR basa regular and permanent circulation In Washington three times larger than that efany ether paperin the city. Ae = local NEWS paper and Ad- vertising Mediam it has no competitor. —————— In an unguarded moment Voice, the probibi- tion paper, praised the South Carolina liquor system, under which the state takes control of the traffic. It said “It is wrong for the government to sell poi- sonous drinks as beverage; but it is worse for it not only to sel! them, but to make money out of the sale and suffer ail manner of allurements to vice to accompany the sale. If we can in- duce the sovereign people to stop this latter of the iniquity we should do it; not, |. by compounding with the remaining in- iquity, or consenting to its continuance, but by continuing our warfare with undiminished ardor aguinst the whole evil while destroving a part of it—the part which we have the power to de- stroy. Our correspondent asks, shall we do evil that good may come? Certainly not; but is it doing evil abstitute for the license system something better? Is it doing evil to stop the government from obtaining a revenue from vice? Is it doing evil to replace the saloons, the dance by the concert gardens, the beer gardens, with all their glittering accompani- ments, with something that is barren of these temptations, and in which there is no vested interest tempt the ow: to solicit trade in debaueber: Other probibitionists who look on anything short of absolute prohibition as a compound- with theevil one ure after Voice with « sharp étick. The South Carolina system, as Foice pointa out, probibits and abolishes many of the glaring evils of the liquor tra’ to less degree does @ strict aad well-enforced high license law, Indeed, in large cities which from the character of their population would not of themselves vote for pr tion, and in which probibition imposed upon them by an outside anthority as the state or nation would not be enforced. a t regulative law, backed by public sentiment, really elimina! more dangerous features from the liquor trafic than unenforced probibition itself. Bat there are very few prouibitionists who will recoguize ‘this, very few who can be convinced that half a loaf is better than no bread; very few who are e prohibition by gradual ap- proaches. as it were. It is really a prohibitive measure to prohibit the sale of liquor within certain hours, to certain persons, by cortain persons, thus decreasing the time within which, the persons by and the persons to whom it can be sold, and the logical result of the develop- mentof such regulations, when the process of popular education is completed, is the abolition of the trafic as a whole, at nil times, to all per- sons, by all persons, and tho enforcement of this abolition by the irresistible bucking of a strong aud enthusiastic public sentiment. Voice’s voice is the voice of reason. — ‘The Philadelphia Leder was issued yesterday ina large, improved and illustrated shape.

When a Baltimorean cau take a street car at his door and have the conductor Jet bim off at the Capitol or the White House | Baltimore will have become a much more desir- able place to live in. Ladies can run over to ‘Washington in the morning and do tueir shop- ping and marketing, enjoying all the advantages that Washingtonia: stores and enterprising merchants, Baltimore is indeed to be congratulated upon the prospect of soon being numbered among the prosperous suburbs connected with the Capital by rapid ‘transit lines. es ‘With what Washington now possesses in the way of educational institutions already estab- lished and at work and with what are promised it in the near future tue city will become con- splcuous as a seat of learning, even if George ‘Washington's dream of a great national uni- versity should never be realized. Still that Project is one that appeals to the patriotic pride of every American, and its discussion at the educational congress to be held in Chicago during the Columbian exposition cannot fail to Produce be: 1 results, of interest in the institutions already pro- fected, which national in their scope, though not unier government control. ——— wee Forecast for the weather b investiga- tion: Frequent squalls, with rising tempera- ture. ——__ +2 Ward MeAllister ought to go to Chicago io show the benighted people of that town how to give a society reception to the Duke of Vera- gun. oe One hundred and ten fourth-class postmas- fers were appointed yesterday and still every- body is not happy. wee Of broadly national interest are the findings | of the special commission that, on bebal! of the London Lancet, examined into the water supply and drainage systems of the city of Chicago. There have been publications as to these conclusions, but so far as this country is €oncerned they have been meager and unsatis- | cet, as the medical repre- | factors. The Lc sentative of the Britieh subjects who will €ross the ocean during the coming summer, ‘was struck with the gravity of the situation which would arise if the thousands of visitors to the worid's fairshould find themselves re- stricted toan unwholesome water supply ina year which it beheved is only too likely to wit- Bess a recrudescence of the cholera outbreak ef 1892, so it investigated. Discussing the results the editors ‘So long as the sanita- tion of Chicago was « matter of purely domestic concern to the Chicago people it was beyond our province, but when it had plainly become ® matter uf possibly life and death signifi- | ance to thousands of our fellow-country- men who are proposing to accept the invite- tion of the American people and visit Chicago during the present year, we felt that the time had arrived, not for searching out precedents, bat for making « new departure and setting at rest the disquieting questions that had been so pressingly forced upon our notice." ‘This yustification is hardiy necessary, especially in view of Chicago's failure to do what it mani- festly should have done and what foreign en- terprise has accomplished. That the commis sion was astonished is evident. It expected to find things in much worse shape than they really were. To be sure the examinstion took place in December, so that conditions would ded to the | atany time eines it was | now have in their fine | One benefit that | may come from such discussion is a stimulation | when our samples were drawn,” says the re- sewage pollution toan extent that, regard be- ing had to the amount of sewage which in one form or another it receives, is surprising.” Dredging had been suspended for some time, because the weather had been bad, “still, when all due allowance is made for this cir- cumstance, it is, aswe have said, « surprising fact that water taken from the lake over the dumping grounds was of @ quality, save for ite suspended matter, superior to that of the ordinary London water-supply. * * © Itis plain that even at this point the lake, under favorable conditions, will supply water which wants nothing but the most ordinary treat- ment to render it fit for any and every domestic purpose. It is the result of our labors upon which we congratulate the people of Chicago | most cordially and with the liveliest | satisfaction that they bave thus demon- strated the possession by the city of an illimitable water supply, which needs | nothing but good management to render it all that could be desired.” Then come the lessons in management. The flaid mustbe filtered and it must not be cooled by melting ice init. Pure water must certainly be contaminated by impure ice. On this point the Lancet says that its inquiry brought to light « practice fraught with peril at any time and capable at the present moment of breeding mis- chief on an appalling scale, viz., the practice of putting ice into the receptacles from which drinking water is directly drawn for consumption. Two receptacles—one within the other, the inner one for ice—are the remedy suggested, and the advice given by the eminent experts who have supervised this important inquiry—to drink no water that has been cooled in contact with ice—might advantageously be adopted by others than those for whose welfare the Lancet has labored. —— + | ‘The New York World's patriotic Americanism has proved too strong for its partisanship. A week ago it said of the flag iowering incident at Honolulu: “The American flag was never intended toaid in robbing a country of ite rights. When a band of adventurers and land pirates run it up for that purpose the best thing for a democratic administration to do is to pull it down.” On patriotic second thought it favors a strong protectorate, as the Amer- ican solution of the Hawaiian problem, And it says: “This solution was half reached when the American flag was raised over the Hawaiian capital at the request of the provisional gov- ernment, The lowering of the flag by a com- missioner whose discretionary power far ex- ceeds his discretion was a shock to American patriotism and a disappointment to Hawaiian hopes. The people whose interests are so closely linked with our own, struggling to throw off an oatworn monarchy, should not be denied the protection of our flag when they ask for it, The ‘American solution’ of the Hawaiian problem requires another flag raising. ‘Raise that fag!" Of course the World docs | not mean that while an American fing raising at Honolula under a republican administration is abominable the same flag raising under a democratic administration will be just the thing. Its ringing demand that the flag be again raised is a manly retraction of tts previous words, —— see ‘Those two jealous damscls who fought a duel with pistols near Berlin could hardly have been surprised at their failure to hit each other, A woman who goes into training for a pistol duel should commence with an umbrella, then practice for three or four years with stones and fragments of brick and wind up with ‘& post-graduate course of instruction as to ac- curacy in the handling of water-Iaden garden hose, The woman-duellist ought to realize that there is no royal road to accuracy of aim. oe The news has come all the way from Utab that the weather of last week has injured seriously the expected fruit crop in that terri- tory.
