SATURDAY, MAY 6, 1893-SIXTEEN PAGES, | eno during the year felt the law's hand at THE EVENING STAR. - WASHINGTON. crmanent circulation In Washington three larger than that ef any other paper: ke city. As « lecal NEWS paper and Ad- cttising Mediem it has ne competiter. “he health department is doing good work » the house-to-house inspection which was vmmenced some sit weeks ago. Its officers ve been active and sensibly vigilant and the seir zeal. They have insvected—a fall report vill be found in another column—361 squares va which were found the 8,111 homes of 40,770 suman beings. xeneraliy of minor character, Hiseovered and reported, and by this time sany of them dave been satisfactorily aba’ Of unlawful garbege receptacles more than four luonsand were discovered, and as the average couse bas but one of these generally malodor- as incesveniences the figures would indicate thot gore than one-half of the people whose »vennises have been inspected are careless as to <7 important matter. More serious, though, thaa any of the other discoveries is the fact that over fourteen hundred houses have no sewer connections: these places shonld be un- der close scrutiny until the defect longer exists and there shouid be liberal use of disinfectants thereat while the warm weather ishere. The report makes plain one unpalata- bie truth that ought to arouse even the care-| tesa. Twelve inspectors eannot possibly do al! that is required of them and compiete the task before Uetober or November, and by that time the season for epidemic cholera will have passed away. Meanwhile some of the less de- sirable residence quarters will necessarily go uninspecte 1 unless individual effort supplements official endeavor. Readers of the report will see at once what squares have been inspected and if they know of nuisances still rampant | therein will, of course, notify the health office. Those who reside in regions that cannot be offi- cially visited untis the summer months, and the | schedule will show what may be expected, should lose no time in doing voluntarily the things that are necessary to bring about condi- sions unfavorable to the spread of disease. In work of this class the Sanitary League will sind promising and profitable field of operation. | When compared in sanitary condition with other American cities Washington shines with exceeding brilliancy, but there is room for im- provement and this is the time when the gov- | erning and the governed should toil harmon- | cously, side by side, for the preservation of the public health and the saving of valuable life. —_—_—_see ‘That there should be in America and at the close of the nineteenth century men who claim to be possessed of intelligence and yet declaim | against the use of labor-saving machinery is one of the most extraordinary and inexplicable of facta. One hundred and twenty-five years ago Humphrey Arkwright saw an infuriated mob of weavers smash into fragments his first loom—the invention which revolutionized the cotton-spinuing industry and founded count- lea fortunes. Eachof his erade looms did the work of one hundred and thirty pairs of skilled hands, but instead of being regarded as a pub- lic benefactor Arkwright lived in daily danger of physical assacit and of even death by vio- lence. But he triumphed at last and lived to see the creation of his wonderfully acute intellect in universal use. It has been calealated that forty millions of workers could not turn out by the old band process as much cotton as is now manufactured in Eng- land alone by mechanical contrivances that are based on the Arkwright loom. Since Ark- wright’s day the world has made many revo- Yutions and mankind has undergone educative treatment, materially. but it is unfortunately tras that large proportion of the industrial race is still opposed to the introduction of devicesby which production may be increased. This anti-pro- gressive spicit has cropped out at Homestend, where a number of men have left the employ ef the Carnegie Company because improved | machinery aad been introduced which practi- | cally doubled the output and threatened to temporarily reduce the number of workers, Occasionally invention is so rapid that a few individuals suffer inconvenience and even dis- tress —conditions that should be ameliorated as much as possible by the employers—but no one will hold that the march of progress should be stayed because of its primary effects. Follow- | ing closely the adoption of modern methods | comes a cheapening of the product, an increased demand, more labor and greater resultant profits, The discontented Homestead men must have a better cause before they can | hope to lay hold of public sympathy. —— A great dea! of comment—some of it adverse —was made when the President nominated Mr. Eckles to be controller of the currency, and there were those among the financial ex- perts who severely criticised the President's choice of one who was nota banker, but if Mr. Eckies will only carry out to the end of his term the doctrines he has recently enunciated the public will not have much to complain about. In a quiet and unostentations yet forcible wa: troller has deciared bis intention to have his | ofice move on business principles of the highest type. Efficiency is to be the sole test; political considerations will ent no figure what- ever. One of the things that the people have been led to expect of Mr. Eckles is an improve- ment in the bank-examining system. There are now nearly four thousand national banks, and to oversee the accounts of these the treasury employs but forty-three exam- iners, Under the present schedule very few institutions are visited more than once ina vear, and that is too infrequent to give the pub- ife the fall measure of protection guaranteed it by the law. It is understood that the control- ler contemplates an immediate redisposition and increase of his force, so that examinations may take place at least semi-annually. Mr. Eekies may not be a banker, but he is evi- | dently s business man. and if he keeps his im- portant department out of polities his admin- istration can hardly be a Zailure. —__—__~-es__ Washington's big hail, recently finished, capable of containing 10,000 people, completes ta elaim to recognition as the great convention city of the country a There is a marked disposition on the part of the Columbus poem to chase the spring poem out of business. —<-+s—___ Cuba's desire seems to be to got dis-aunexed from Spsit to the surface by one of the divers into ~oviological depths—the Rev. Richard Wheatley, . D.—who has been studying police statistics even of the principal cities of the U: ates, viz: Washington, New York, Phila: sia, Chieago, Brookiyn, St. Le , Boston, simore, Sau Francisco, Cincinnati and New These focal points were selected as ng im the aggregate thoroughly re venta- tain over one In those eleven whose epaiation in 1390 was 6.871.490, there were 446,744 arrests, or one to every habitants. This is a jousiy iarge percentage, and did each arrest stand for # distinct indiv things would be in fearful shape. b ms: many the optimist from the fact that contribute to the in the toils quite \e ng the course of a twelvemonth ‘Then, toc, many of the offenders did nothing worse than violate draw comfort of those who I statement are minor civie es, 80 they cannot be classed as eri But this e condition does not diminish interest iw the arithmetic, which shows a remarka- Dle disproportion as wo ihe se: es of people May 6, 1893. In 2,250 cases nuisances, | ‘© | a tilt at Dr. Wheatley if they want to overcome hich should have improved him | | lias been invested in a statue of Columbus, least once. There were 348,148 males to 69,337 females. By far the greater proportion of all these were less than twenty-five years of age, ‘and this fact is used by the divine to impress upon society the necessity of seeking the con- version of the young before they enter upon that perilous period following immediately their departure from home tostrike out for them- selves. Dr.Wheatiey thinks the children “should be gathered into evangelical Sunday schools and there subjected to the power of loving and godly teachers.” Fully as important as any of j the other features made prominent in these | calculations is that which draws the line be- | tween native and foreign born. Of the latter | 151,963 were gathered in by vigilant policemen, | while the natives numbered 235,307. This dis- proportion, says the doctor, is startling in | view of the’relative numbers of the two classes | im the nation, and all the more so when ac- count is taken of the foreign parentage of native criminals. It appears that of the 114,620 | Parents of white prisoners 45,732 were native, | 60,153 were foreign born, and of 8,735 the birth- | places were unknown. Omitting these last, the | percentage of native prisoners is 43.19 and of foreign 56.81. Of 73,045 paupers in alms houses 66,578 are whites. Of the 133,156 par- jents of white paupers, 42,215 were | Rative, 63.587 foreign born, and of | 24.354 the birthplaces are unknown.

Taking as his basic fact the | announcement that of those arrested 198,820 were able to read and write, while only 24,252 | were destitute of those accomplishments, he | shakes nands with Herbert Spencer, Archibald | Alison and others who insist that purely secular | education enhances the power of mischief and | that if not morally neutral it exerts but slight | benefaction. If the doctor has done little els he has given another opportunity to those who | love argament. P —— Clearly as is this city—and the purifying in- finences multiply daily—it is still far below | the standard which its most devoted citizens | have set their eyes upon, and which must be- | fore long be attained. Immediate perfection is not expected, but how would it do if regulations similar to those that work most satisfactorily in Philadelphia were put im operation here. There the ashes, sweepings and cut grass are | collected in receptacles which weigh not more than one hundred pounds each when filled, and are emptied at least once a week into carts tightiy built and provided with a canvas cover, so that their contents cannot be seat- tered or blown away. The contractors issue | cards, approved by the director of public works, giving the days for collecting ashes in Particular streets or districts. A copy of these cards is loft at every building in the district, so that there wili be no doubt as to the time when the receptacles are to te placed on the sidewalk, Kitchen gatbage ix removed | from all buildings occupied in whole or in part as dwelling houses, except public buildings, restaurants or hoteis, three times each week during the period extending from the begi | ning of November to the iast of Aprii, and six | times each week during the warmer division of | the year. The garbage is depusited in covered, THE WEEK. At home the opening of the world’s fair has been of prime importance and public interest in the great show is not likely to be diminished for several months to come. In many respects the week has been an extraordinary one, for it has been filled from beginning to end with marders and train robberies and fires and all sorts of natural, unnatural and artificial de- vastetion. The town of Cisco, Tex., was com- pletely destroyed by a cyclone; more than twenty people were killed and considerably over 100 were injured. In Wyoming snow storms did heavy damage to the sheep, and throughout the entire west the uprising of rivers has caused great suffering and much loss of life. In New York, Chicago and in one or two other places the waiters in the hotels and restaurants have had some difficulty with their employers, principally because the employers wanted them to shave off their mustaches and other facial hirsute adornments and required them to get their salaries from the publicin the shape of “tips.” Dean Lawrence of Cambridge Theological School has been elected bishop of Massachusetts. Gov. Flower, after giving con- sideration to all the arguments and testimony ted him, has decided that Carlvle Harris, the wife murderer, must suffer the penalty provided by the law. ‘The Navajo Indians, who a few days ago were alleged to be threatening an outbreak, are quieted. A grain blockade was averted by the opening of the Erie canal. Hearing that there might be difficulty—friction between the whites and the Chinese on the Pa- cific coast—in connection with the failure of the Chinese to register under the Geary law, Secretary Gresham notified some of the Pacitic coast governors of rumors that had come to him and requested them to take ‘such steps as they deemed necessary to uphold the law. _Re- plying to such communication, Gov. Pen- noyer of Oregon impudently requested the President to mind his own business and inti- mated that he; the governor, was perfectly able to take care of everything inside the territory of Oregon. Wall street suffered a shake up in the past three or four days and several firms went under, but the consequences generally were local to New York and of but little interest © the country generally. ELSEWHERE. May day, on which so much disiuroance was expected, turned out to be just as qnict as most other European days are at this period. There was a little trouble at Marseilles and there were eetings at Vienna and aleewhere, but with the exception of the French assembly none of them resulted in any serious difticuities. ‘The most important feature in the European field of labor was the strike of 19,000 persons em- ployed in the jute mills in Dundee. There is strong opposition to the home rule bill, but the billis moving right along and willsoon be out of the hands of the house of commons. About 800 English brokers, in procession and assisted by several bands, made quite a noisy demon- siration in London against the Gladstonian policy, while William Townsend, who attempted Gladstone's life, has been declared insane und will spend the remainder of his days ina suit- able asylum. “In Paris the Bering sen court of arbitration continued to listen to arguments on the infricate but extremely it teresting question. Counsel Carter has con- cluded “his remarks and now Counsel Coudert is putting in additional licks on behalf of the United States. Spain has been worried over the news from Cuba, fearing serious trouble, but the alleged insurrection in that island having come to naught, all is once more well in that land of architectural rains and garlic. ‘The reichstag is still wrestling with the army bill, and in spite of the combined efforts of the emperor and hie newly made friends who reign in the Vatican the bill will probably be defeated, in which event the emperor will declare the reichstag adjourned; and then there will be music by the entire band. and it won't | watertight vessels that can be easily and quickiy | handled and emptied by oneman.

The Quaker city has some trouble with its street cleaning, but only a little as to garbage.

In Japan there is cholera, and it appears as though there was considerable danger of its spreading over a large area. Floods along the river Hoang Ho have swept away over 400 villages and resulted ‘in great loss of Chinese life. AT HOME. The majority of the people of the District attended the opening of the world’s fair on Monday through the medium of the splendid edition of Taz Star. The new Court of Ap- peals was organized, Mr. Robert Willet was Sppointed clerk, the rules were partially com- pleted and members of the bar admitted to With fear and trembling, for no one knows low the next game will go, Taz Stax congrat | ulates the Washington base ball team on its! having achieved first place.

The East Washington Citizens’ Association adopted a report in favor of celebrating the one hundredth anniversary of the laying of the southeast corner stone of the Capitol building in September next.

An officer on one of the vesseis at Hampton Roads showed that he was. typical Briton in all but the traditional absence of a humorous sense.
