4 THE EVENING STAR, TUESDAY, MARCH 6, 1894—-lWELVE PAGES. _—— = —— THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. TUESDAY March 6, 1894. - Editor. THE EY ENING STAR has a regular etreulation nearly ed circalation of the other fice. the Editorial or Business Department, according to tenor or purpose. The city of Washington, the home of more than a quarter of a million of people, the capital of the United States, has no hospital in which to treat the deadly contagious dis- eases with which every community is to a greater or less extent afflicted. Public-; spirited citizens have for a long time been engaged in agitating for the establishment of such an institution and when all legisla- tive difficulties were removed they hoped that ere long the necessary building would be erected. But as soon as endeavor was made to locate the hospital—which every- body admitted was needed—torrents of pro- test were poured out from those sections of the city that imagined their welfare threat- ened by the presence in their midst of such a structure. The result has been complete hibernation of the humane proposition,which is now only rarely heard of. There is no reason why the authorities should longer de- -lay the purchasing of a hospital site, for, taxation the assessment valuation is as im- portant a feature as the rate of taxation. Still it will happen in the future, as it has in the past, that the rate of taxation will be taken by the unthinking the signiti- cant gauge of what the property owners of the District contribute toward the support of the city. The fact is that to a very large extent the délusion is still current that Washington residents are entirely free from the burden of taxation, and are main- tained without cost in the kindly arms of an indulgent government. These extraordinary Ppaupers and depend- ents pay more in real estate taxes for mu- nicipal purposes than the far more numer- ous taxpayers of the rich and powerful city of Cleveland. It must not be forgotten, however, that they are kindly relieved of all other municipal care and responsibility than the payment of these monies for the maintenance of the national capital, Con- | Sress deciding without regard to the wishes of the contributors of this fund in what manner and to what amount municipal ex- penditures shall be made therefrom. Con- gress may leave a large part of the money idle in the Treasury instead of employing it in a manner to develop the city and | bring returns on their contributions to the local taxpayers. Congress has thus repeat- j edly buried the talents entrusted to it in | the earth. Or Congress may, it seems, use this trust money in any way that seems to it advisable, At any rate it has robbed | this fund of a million dollars to pay for the consequences of the blundering and fraud- | ulent neglect of agents of the national gov- |ernment in tunnel construction for whom , the District was not at all responsible. It has taken this million without making the slightest compensation or supplying the | slightest showing of a consideration to the i | | individuals muleted, any nore than if Dick | Turpin were doing the job, and if it can ap- disease hospital in the vicinity of their | Prpricte the tax money in this way, it can property, it is absurd to imagine that Gel paged yeaa NS my Wes eee eee ee: mem Dees Se chee yxeee*) | Sie the Waahisigtentad glia tacce cai ax: as to deprive itself perpetually of this safe- Kuard, injuring the public welfare in order | (#t¢ taxes than the Clevelandite for mu- to prevent slight damage to the material | "!clpal purposes, and then has nothing to debate ck Go few.

Just now the diseases which should be treated im isolation are scattered all over the Dis- trict of Columbia and {t frequently happens that, through the connivance of medical at- tendants, there are cases of diphtheria and searlet fever unknown to those who live in close proximity to the infected dwellings. Surely it would be much better to have in thorough working order a first-class public establishment where proper treatment would be given than to permit endangering of many valuable through a continuance of the pres- ent foolish conditions. Controlled by the thoroughly expert and operated according | to all that is most approved in the line of sanitary invention, a contagious diseases hospital need not cause those living in its Vicinity a moment's disturbance. should be infinitely more of fear at things as they now are, when in the house of your next-door neighbor there may be an im- Promptu contagious hospital without the safeguards against the spread of contagion | with which the real hospital is protected. ——_——- e+_____. If it be true that an effort is being made to annul the charter of the Baltimore and ton Electric Koad in order that flege may be given io a corporation that will do more than promise to work, there is ne better time than the present for calling the attention of people who live along the proposed route to an important fact. In its plans, at least, the Boulevard Company arranged for the running, between this city and Baltimore of high spesd trains —rapid enough in their motion to compete with the steam railroads. Some of the fea- tures of such a program are decidedly at- tractive, but the glow issuing from the Probabilities of pul ly-profitabie competi- tion should not be permitied to dazzle the Public vision to such an extent as would its seeing at least one very ma- great increase in the rumber of grade crossings. In some places, and successfully, the public highways have been, in part, donated to this and similar enterpr: and crossing privileges have been granted almost without question. Such liberaltty does not pay. At the present time, and all over the country, serious ef- fort is being made to compel raiiread com- panies to run their tracks and trains under or abave grade, and, in many instances, with It would have been muel cheaper for the companie paring to make these changes if they had avoided the more pron when their roads structed, end it is unque able to demaad of these which propose we! original tionabiy ctrie companies run their cars at steam- con- u ratlread rates of speed, that they shall elevate or depress their tracks at all im- portant crossings. Electricity should be given every « tunity to compete with its hot-water ri f the strife will probab eduction in cost of travel and increase of speed, but the best time to insist upon the abolition of srade-crossings is before there are any srade-crossings tu abolish. ree The reputation of this city was last evening once more assailed by a combina- of tion professional siuggers, who—under ices of the Capital City that whatever is)—thumged oh Hall to see a brutal fistic exhibition. The police very properly inter- fered as soon us the contests oversieppgd the bounds of “sparring for points,” but the interference did not come until one of the fighters bad been slugged into several mia- utes of unconsciousness. The remainder ef the program was most disappointing to the spectators, for most of those who had paid tw see real knuck-out prize fights were nut to be satisfied with mere boxing of the comparatively tame sort. Vigilant super- vision and prompt and determined interfer- ence, such as the police gave to this com test will seoa kill the slugging matches by rendering them unattractive to the spec- tetors, and the sooner this result is ac- complished the better for the city. Wash- ington wants for itself that ideal condition iu which the knock-out fights of hi “toughs,” compelling the presence and in- terterence of the police, are stopped before they are begun. — see Perhaps the members cf the bocrd of a@$sessment and equalization of the city of Cleveland, who were at the District build- ing yesterday, may get what they came after. They want light on the method of equalizing assessments. It is not claumed that all the municipal methods here have reached perfection, but still the District is @ good place in which to get points on ihe medern administration of cities in a clean, Boh-partisan, economical and == effective manner. At came out incidentally durirg the cail of the Cleveland equalizers that the prop- erty owners of Cleveland are taxed at the Fate of S27¥ per $100, which is nearly double the rate required of real =state owners in this city. This fact to minds of the type of De Armond and staiesmen of that class would lead directiy w the con- clusion that Washington people enjoyed the unusual experience of praciical free- dom from taxatio But it appears that, while the city of Cleveland has a popula- tion of sixty seventy thousand greater than is found in the whole of this Dtstrict, the taxable real estate foots up a total of euly ninety millions of dollars. Im this Wistrict the tax collector's books show an) assessed valuation of same one hundred and ninety millions. It therefore appears that the property owners of C and, ai- though groaning under a tax rate near @ouble that which is the 1 this I trict, actually pay iess tax on their r Property than do the people of the District because of the lower standard of asse ment which is applied in that city. ‘These tacts show poicedly that in the burden of the } lives | There | making or pre- nent grade-crossings | Treason- | Athletic j and Wayback in the national legislature. ———+ +s ____ The average city treasurer is but rarely heard of unless there happens to be a big hole in his official bank account. The most extraordinary exception to this lamentable rule is Mr. Charles T. Thatcher, who, after having been treasurer of Middleboro, Mass., for twelve years, has tendered his resigna- } tion because there are more than three hundred thousand dollars in his keeping which he cannot account for. There may be careless bookkeeping behind this phenom- enal confession, but Middleboro will, if it is | wise, hold on to Mr. Thatcher with both hands. There have been city treasurers who, if they discovered any such diserep- ancy as that which disturbs Mr. Thatcher, would have had no difficulty in making the accounts balance to a cent. ——_~+e The fact that Lord Rosebery is the pro- prietor of a milk route should be sufficient assurance to the popular mind that he has none of these nawsty notions habout the wulgarity of troide. ——s +o ___.
