As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. flee. but simply to THE STAR, or “to the Editorial or Business D-partment, according to tenor or purpose. Few sensible people will dissent from the opinion that there can be no question of greater importance to the people of any large city than that of securing a sufficient supply of water, pure in quality and with a reserve in quantity ample for the demands of the future. Such an conclusion has been reached by the Sénate committee on the District of Columbia, the opinion finding expression in the report submitted by Sen- ator Proctor on the Senate bill to amend the act of July 15, 1882, entitled “An act to increase the water supply of the city of Washington, and for other purposes.” The report is an admirable document, logical and business-like throughout. It says truly that this matter of water supply is of im- portance to the whole country—is not merely a local question—for “Washington is the temporary residence of thousands and is visited annually by millions coming from all parts of the country.” This view of the case is one taken too rarely by Congress and especially by Senators and Representa- tives who know little or nothing of the relationship which exists between the gen- eral government and the District in which the seat of that government is located and ever which Congress has exclusive jurisdic- tion. A serious truth is stated in the Proctor report when it says that the pres- ent supply of water is not sufficient in quantity or force for the needs of today; this has been told before by Col. Elliot, who has charge of the water supply; but even the colonel’s convincing facts and indis- putable figures have failed to receive the at- tention to which they are entitled. The committee, however, goes further than Col. Elliot did, for it insists that the government should immediately secure control of the entire water supply at Great Falls, declar- ing it to be a matter of prudence and com- mon business foresight to acquire the entire water right before extensive improvements are made by persons and corporations now possessed of rights at the Falls. Should all those rights be acquired by the government, the supply would be ample for many years to come, and there would be power which could economically be used for other pur- poses. Of this latter consideration the com- mittee has something pointed to say. The report refers to “the rapidiy-increasing ten- dency toward municipal control of certain matters of public necessity and convenience in which the entire people, all classes and have substantially an equal - © © © ‘The water supply in large towns is almost without exception now furnished by the municipality, and street lighting by the city is already being considered and adopted to quite an extent. * © © ‘The matter of lighting is a present issue, and one of greater importance in this city than in any other on account of the large number of buildings to be lighted at public expense.” The report also calls attention to the fact that water supplied to those portions of this city that are elevated more than one hundred feet above low water in the river are now supplied by pumping; this being done at great expense by steam-operated machinery, and as the city grows and extends over the higher lands the cost of this high-pressure service must continually increase. There would be @ great saving if the pumping were done through the agency of electric force gener- ated by the Great Falls water power. The program outlined by the committee is an attractive one for taxpayers generally; there is in it promise of plenty of pure water and an ample supply of cheaply- furnished street-illumination. ++ —__. Perhaps President Cleveland and Seere- tary Gresham have a good reason for seeing to it that the disturbed conditions in Hawail are continue? as long as possible, but no such reason is visible to any one who looks at the situation from an impartial stand- point. For some time past those who are in control at Hawai have been engaged in laying the foundations for a republican form of government, and, all- things considered, have so far succeeded admirably. In the face of the bitterest opposition from the still active royalist party, the successful revolutionists secured the registration of 1,500 voters in Honolulu alone, put the num- ber would have been twice as great had there not been in the minds of many a fear that by some hocus-pocus Mrs. Dominis would be restored to the throne. This fear would vanish with the rapidity of a five- cent pie in th ey camp if President Cleveland would only declare his inability to recrown Liluokalani. Singular as it may seem to people who reside In the United States and read the newspapers, there are many residents in Hawaii who still have faith in President Cleveland's promise to restore the now crownless mon- arch, 2nd ‘t 1s undoubtedly true that the queen and sc:ce of her associates continue to expect news favorable to themselves by ev Pacific. The uncertainty that exists is doing @s much dam.ge in Hawaii as the tariff uncertainty in this country is doing to American financial and wage-earning inter- ests. A brief communication from President Cleveland or Secretary Gresham would straighten the matter out in a little while and would render comparatively easy the difficult task of establishing the first repub- He in the S ea Isiands. Will the com- munication written? a New York's difficulty in getting rid of the elephant “Tip” makes it evident that she did well to turn over the dog-catching in- dustry to the S. P. C.

Fitagerald, commander of the England division the Industrial x of Army, is at once a foolish and a dangerous person. Individually he has never done any deed that indicated the possession of extraor- dinary courage, an is quite probable that | he personally is not a physical warrior, but he continually threatens the peace of any community in which he happens to be. Yesterday, in company with his army, he was in Philadelphia, and today, unless the authorities have released him, that same burg. His extended stay in the city of Brotherly Love is due to the fact that he used most intemperate language in addressing a socialistic meeting there yes- terday afternoon. There he demanded that the government be wiped out of existence, and he expressed a desire to see the red flag | wave over the White House in place of the stars and stripes which now float above the official residence of the nation’s Chief Magis trate. All this may sound very absurd to People who cannot understand why echy should exist in this country—and of these there are probably more than sixty millions Out Washingtonians should be really inter- in the utterances, for they ari rm pu wo @ wondwg & number like himsels those of ‘¥ boat that sails from this side of the} he is still in| to this city to join in the Coxey movement. This New England contingent cares nothing about the good roads bill which is Coxey’s principal excuse for being a public nuisance; it comes solely for the purpose of swelling the ranks of those who assert that as soon as they have greater numbers they will see to it that Coxey does all the talking he wants to from the steps of the Capitol, law or no law. The idea of running up the red flag above the White House was hugely enjoyed by Fitzgerald's audience, but it grated harshly on the ears of a couple of policemen who heard the incendiary lan- guage, and, as a result, the speaker, in company with Lani Kalangraff and Joseph Wembloth, was taken to the nearest police station and held for examination. These men are fair Samples of those who are now, in small parties, moving toward the National Capital. What will be done with them when they arrive? so. Poor old Tip is dead, and great is the sorrow among the children who visit the Zoo at New York's Central Park, and who have always found Tip a good friend to them, no matter what he was to his train- ers and keepers. He was a “rogue” elephant; he had gone astray mentally, and had reached the conclusion that it was better to be dead than to live longer in the wretched monotony of complete captivity, chained and in a cage. A great deal of grief has been wasted upon his death, but if a little more of plain, every- day, common-sense had been used in his killing there would have been less need for sympathy, for at least his death might have been made quick and painless. That @ poor dumb brute should have been killed in such a monstrous way, and permitted to linger for hours in the agony of slow poisoning 1s shocking, to say the very least. New York Is supposed to contain many learned men, who should certainly have a little more knowledge of poisons than was exhibited in the inhuman de- struction of this animal. There are plenty of men who are expert with the rifle, some of whom have shot wild elephants in the jungle, who could have put him out of his misery with a merciful bullet, but that method was too advanced for provincial of a drug that was neither speedy nor painless in its effect, and if it were not for his evident sufferings one might be tempted to believe that he died of old age.
