THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON, WEDNESDAY.............Mmy 23, 1804 eS RR IEE EES CROSBY S. NOYES................Editor. eee THE EVENING STAR has a regular and Permanent circulation much more than the combined circulation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. Oe tlm order to avoid delays, om ac- f personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to my individ connected with the of- fice, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Department, according to tenor or purpose. SSS Intent upon material and much-needed tmprovement in the territory over which it Watches with such laudable fidelity, the East Washington Citizens’ Association Is now turning Its attention to plans which, if carried out, will result in the reclamation of the marshes through which the Eastern branch of the Potomac makes slow progress towerd the main stream. The proposition is a wholly good one—one which The Star has advocated and will continue to advocate so Icng as the necessity for agitation exists. There are two basic reasons why this long | stretch of “flats” should be converted into solid soil—the first, because hygienic condi- tions will succeed those that breed disease; the second, the direct financial profit which Will surely accrue as a result of the trans- formation. With these marshes sufficiently @levated to be safely above flood level, there would be added to the District's area a very large quantity of valuable ground, suitable either for park purposes—its best possible use—or for very many desirable building sites. In the course of its cam- paign against present conditions along the branch, the association called upon Health | Officer Hammett for such information as he would care to furnish, and in response Fecetved from him a lengthy and remark- ably able report, printed elsewhere in The Star. In that document Dr. Hemmett says that at all times the water is more or Jess stegnant along the shores, and, when the tide is up, the mud-bottoms, consisting of alluvial deposits covered with rank growth, are exposed to the rays of the sun. The growth generally {a of varieties that constantly undergo decay and renewal, and fm the latter part of the summer and dur- ing the fall this enormous quantity of veg- etation undergoes miasma-breeding decom- Position. That would be bad enough of itself, but when it is noted that “into this mass of putrefying vegetable matter there is discharged from the western or city side | the contents of seven or eight sewers, con- stantly, day and night, and always,” it will be seen that there is continual danger to those who reside near the stream. From the eastern side of the branch there are three sewers continually adding to the un- @esirabie character of the marshes, to say nothing of the surface drainage from a con- siderable and thickly settled territory. Many people are interested In the proposed reclamation. As Dr. Hammett says, the suburban towns of Bladensburg, Hyatts- ville, Twining City, East Washington Heights, Hillsdale and Anacostia are rapidly becoming large centers of population, while | in East Washington—within range of the | malarial influences of these swamps—there must be nearly one hundred thousand res- dents. Much of the Health Officer's report is devoted to tabulated statistics, in which are shown the evil work of the Anacostia flats and the decrease of mortality that fol- lowed the almost completed reclamation on the southwestern edge of the city. The ar- gument fs conclusive, shows beyond ques- | tion how dangerous are existing conditions from the District line to the Navy Yard, and should appeal strongly and successfully to those in whose hands the Constitution of the United States placed the sole governing power of the District of Columbia. —- +02 —__ There is much to be commended in the European fashion of dealing with convicted anarchists. Anarchy depends very largely upon notoriety for existence, and when the Possibilities for sensational’ public utter- a@uces are minimized there surely follows a corresponding diminution in the number of those who feel called to preach the doc- trine of revoluticn. The New York Times says, in discussing European anarchists: “The anarchist is a person who endeavors Practically to do the greatest harm to the greatest number, and to get himself into print in the greatest number of newspapers at the greatest possible length’—a person in whom “the desire to do mischief, and the love of notoriety have conquered the fear of death.” Could one of these dis- turbers of the public peace be guaranteed @n execution in the presence of a great multitude, to whom he would be at Lagi to deliver @ farewell incendiary speech, hi would commit the bloodiest of deeds pe glory in arrest. But European govern- ents that have to deal with these enemies @@ society are making anarchy very un- Dopular by executing the guilty ones in the darkgess of early morning, and without the Presence of a great concourse which would fatter the peculiar kind of vanity that is Tesponsible for about all of the anarchists heard from up to this time. —_—___+-+ + ______ ‘With the death of the small-pox patient ‘who came here from Virginia, the dread Gisease has departed from the city, Nerv- ous people who fear infection may there- fore the cease to worry, Washington is about Jast place in the country to harbor epi- emics; broad streets, pure air and watch- ful sanitary authorities combining to pre- Sent defensive conditions such as are not elsewhere to be found in any great Ameri- an centers of population. The manner in which the case that ended yesterday was isolated and treated shows conclusively the Recessity for a hospital for contagious dis- @ases of the virulent sort. As things are at Present, those who have to deal with such @ loathsome disorder as small-pox must ‘work under great disadvantages, and under circumstances the reverse of inspiring even to @ medical enthusiast. The story of Dr. Nevitt’s isolation from his practice and his friends—toid elsewhere in The Star—will give the average man or woman a good eal of information as to the discomforts and dangers incident to the repression of a dangerous disease. The medical profession is always engaged in creditable deeds, but even with knowledge of that in mind, the work done by Dr. Nevitt is worthy of Special mention. ——_+++____. By @ vote of 109 to 71 the House of Rep- Fesentatives in committee of the whole Tefused to appropriate money for the sup- Port of the civil service commission during the fiseal year which will commence July 1. To say that such action was surprising would be untrue, for indications of hostility to the commission by hungry and almost Gesperate spotlsmen have been appareat for some time past. The assault did pot @iffer materially from many that preceded it; there was the same lack of reason on the Part of those who hate the very reme of efvil service; the same loud-sounding yet empty fulminations alleging the impractica- bility of the system; the old, old whoop for office. It was a great day for the De Armonds and the Enloes and the Pendletons and the Caruths and the Willlamses, not to mention several other distinguished leg!e- lators who have unlettered constituents that @re continually crying for the rewards y think themselves entitled to for the votes they cast. A fair specimen of the argu- ment made yesterday is the speech of Rep- resentative Pendleton of West Virginia. Mr. Pendieton’s complaint was that under the working of the civil service law for five years past not a single democrat fron his State obtained an appointment in the class!- fied service. This lamentable fact {s, so Mr. Pendieton says, due to the civil service commission, which “is so organized that only the members of one political party have any opportunity of standing a fair examina- tion’—a slander of the most Indefensible fort. Then Mr. Pendleton went on to say that he would give a democratic administra- tion entirely to democrats and a republican one entirely to republicans—which was at least an honest declaration—but It Is diffi- cult to see how that doctrine agrees with the closing words of Mr. Pendleton’s speech, when he said: ‘Draw the fangs of this com- mission; wipe it out; abolish It, and we shall soon have a proper system of civil service, one not based on hypocrisy, not based on Phariseeism, but on the democ- Tacy and the republicanism of sturdy old Andrew Jackson, which would permit a man to hold office as long as he behaves his self, and turn him out as soon as he ceased to do so.” What chance would a well-behaved democrat have under a republican admin- istration {f the Pendieton dea is once more in force. Mr. Pendleton’s partisan announce- ment fs one for which spoiismen can cheer, and singularly enough no civil service Teformer could do else than applaud Mr. Pendleton's other statement which favors the holding of office by a government employe until he misbehaves. This latter proposition is the one for which the people who believe in good government Lave been earnestly striving for yeara and for which they will continue to strive; a temporary adverse majority In the House to the con- trary notwithstanding. The civil rervice commission merely insists that before appointment the would-be employe shall prove his educational fitness to fill the place which he seeks. Representative Everet reply to the assaults of the spoilsmen was | logically impregnable. Caimly end dispas- sionately he related the history of civil service reform in this country, made clear the utter viciousness of the spoils system, notified his democratic colleagues that the democratic party could not afford to abolish the system and prophesied that “if this system (whatever may have been its imper- fections) is allowed to work its way, and when further legislation shall have strength- ened the power of the Commissioners,” It will be found that “it is the :nost truly universal democratic American system of appointment to office that can be devised.” Mr. Everett is unquestionably right. +30.

SHOOTING STARS. Slow. “Talk about slowness!” sald a traveling man, “I've just heard of the very essence of it.’ “How was that?" “Two United States Senators imgoeusa te be in Philadelphia at the same time, and one of them wrote @ note to the other ask- ing his views on a tariff amendment, and Sent it by a district messenger boy.” Boggles’ Sense of Humor. “T used to think that story of mine about the mule was a pretty good one,” said Woodby Witte, with a sigh. “And what changed your opinion?” “Boggles laughed at it.” C Maligaity. The umpire watched the base ball pet; He heard the people shout. Straightway all words did he forget Excepting “strike” and “out.” Contortion, “Too much self-esteem,” said Uncle Eben, “gits ter be comical, Er man is boun’ ter "pear rediclous ef he tries ter pat hiss'f on de back.” A Dream. “If every month were only May!" How sweet the poet's tune, Mankind need then no fear display ‘er bills that come in June. A Certain Remedy. “What made you insist on lending Bor- em that umbrella?” “I had to do it” “Had to?” “Yes, of course. I lose the umbrella, but I am rid of Borem forever.” A Little Slow. “What have you to say to this charge of assaulting Michael Rafferty?’ asked the judge. “Ot Ucked 'im,” replied Mr. Dolan, look- {ng the court in the eye. “An’ wid no dis- respect to anybody to whom respect is due, its hopin’ Of am that Ot Gone it good.” “Was there any provocation?” “They wor thot same.” “What was It?" “Oi hov a goat, yer anner; a foine ani- mel, too. ‘Does yer goat give milk?’ sa: Rafferty to me. ‘It does,’ says Of. ‘Thin,’ says he, ‘it's butter-milk.’ ‘It's as swate an’ foine ag any ye iver saw,’ says Ot. ‘Certainly; but it is butter-milk,’ says he, an’ thin we came together. Though Ot mus’ say, yer anner, thot whin Oi come to repate it over a few tolmes an’ consider the nature av the goat, Oi'm compelled to say Ol wer a bit hashty. Bedad, if the courtll give me lave, Ol'll ‘pologoize to Rafferty, so Ot will. —__++-+—____.. ‘The Worst and Most Slavish Slave. From the Albany Press and Knickerbocker.
