Instead of causing alarm, the earn- est way in which the Medical Society has taken up the problem should produce a lelays, on ac- feeling of assurance that in the near future there will be a great diminution in the mor- tality from preventable diseases. For over @ year the Sanitary League has been en- gaged in an effort to bring to the public at- tention, in a manner that would produce Food results,some accurate knowledge of the condition of affairs in the District. It was believed that the city would be benefited end not injured by intelligent efforts to re- move all possible causes of disease exist- ing in the city. When statements similar to those now officially made by committees of the Medical Society were given to the public, there was evident an inclination on ‘the part of well-meaning physicians and @thers to have the reports suppressed on the ground that their dissemination would prove an injury to the city. The Medical | Society, however, has realized that the best interests of the city demand prompt and active measures to remove all unfavorable conditions and they have bravely taken up | the fight. Nothing but good can come of | their discussions. If it is possible to re- duce the death rate from preventable dis- eases, the city would certainly be the gain- er by it. It is not that Washington is any | worse off than many other cities in this | respect, but an intelligent interest in the matter has been awakened and the result hoped for is that before many years Wash- ington will be known as a city not merely | of fairly good record in point of health but | as the most desirable place for residence, so far as sanitary conditions are concerned, that one can find. This has been the aim of the Sanitary League and on this account it | should receive the support of all citizens | who have the welfare of the city at heart. see Many suggestions have been made as to methods that might be put in force to pro- Vide the Jarge number of unemployed who are now crying aloud for remunerative la- bor, even though the remuneration be less than they have heretofore earned, but some of these suggestions are, strangely enoug’ based upon the theory that work now in operation must cease before the suffering complained of can be relieved. This posi- tion has@very appearance of being inde- fensible, but that it has many friends is evident. President George T. Angell of the | American Humane Education Society per- petrated a too-commou error when he sai “Suppose we postpone for a year or two the building of any more $1,000,000 war- ships and $0,000 cannon, every Giacharse | ef one of which costs from $300 to $100." Just how the application of those sugges- tions would be beneficial to the national condition is not plain. Something like ninety per cent of the sums expended in war-ships and cannon and projectiles finds its way into the pockets of the men who work with their hands. If, instead of postponing such manufactures, Congress would increase its appropriations therefor ten-fold, thousands upon thousands of people now dependent and sutfering would at least have opportun- sty to earn decent livelinood. Other sugges- dions made by Mr. Angell, such as argue for @ great interior canal system, the strength- ening of the levees of southern rivers, the draining and irrigating of vast tracts of waste land, the construction of fortitica- tions and breakwaters in the principal har- bors, the creation of a comprehensive sewer system in this city, and the building of broper bridges across the Potomac in place of the present rickety structures are ail ood and are deserving of Congressional consideration, but not one of these projects ‘will approach more nearly to reality should Congress decide to throw many men out of work by postponing the building of war- ships and the manufacture of heavy ord- nance. —_+ e+ _____ The Albany Times-Union says that “United States Senator Hill was home Sun- day looking after his lawns, flower beds end his farm generally.” It is perhaps only fair to conclude that the term “his farm generally” includes fences, but in the ab- sence of specific information people who Bre outside of New York politics—which is something to be thankful for—can do no More than surmise. It is evident, however, from the paragraph in our Albany contem- porary, that the Senator has plenty of friends who are willing to help him should his fences need repair, for it is said that | Still continue in the west. the receipts of the toll-gate on the road leading to his villa residence on the boule- vard increased five hundred per cent when- ver the Senator is here.” It is also evident that a hitherto peculiarly Washington cus- tom has been transported to New York's capital. The flag always flies over the Ex- ecutive Mansion in this city when the Pres- ident is in his official home. Senator Hill 4s not President of the United States, but whenever he occuples his Albany residence the superintendent of his place runs to the head of the flag-staff erected for that Special purpose a starry and striped signal by which every one interested is notified that the Senator is at home. ——_~+ e+ — There has been a great deal of pyrotech- Bic agitation manifested in connection with the Breckirridge-Owens campaign, but as Yet nobody has considered it necessary to order a bullet-proof coat. —— «2 ______ The Senators who are engaged in endan- Sering the equilibrium of the ship of state Should bear in mind the peculiar oppro- brium which attaches to the man who Bocks the boat. It has often and truly been said that the People of the United States generally suffer from overmuch legislation, but residents of the District of Columbia have only at rare intervals had opportunity to make any Specific complaints as to legislative super- abundance of any sort. Just now a local growl is due because of the foolishness which has been incorporated in the bill that has for its object the erection of a na- tional home for aged and infirm colored persons. The bill as passed by the House, appropriates the sum of $100,000 out of “all moneys, arrears of pay and bounty which Were due the estates of deceased colored soldiers who served in the late war and were in the hands of the commissioner of the Freedman’s Bureau and have been re- paid into the Treasury.” The building or i » to be erected in the District pon lands owned by the as- jown as the Home for the Aged ored Persons, a corporation incorporated unde: and by virtue of} duly the incorporation laws of the District of Columbia.” As soon as the bill had been read and, as the debate will show, long be- fore it was understood by the House, there were heard expressions of fear lest the general government should at some time | be called upon to contribute toward the maintenance of inmates of the Home, and to remove this fear Mr. Outhwaite offered and secured the adoption of an amendment providing “that this institution shall not | become a charge upon the United States Treasury at any time.” That amendment phut out completely all possibility of any official contribution being made by the Dis- trict of Columbia, for one-half of District appropriations is contributed by the United States ir lieu of taxes upon government Property, but it did not prevent the appear- ance of some of those Columbiaphobic paroxysms which are, unfortunately, too common in Congress. Representative Can- non was the first to develop the alarming symptoms. He offered an amendment pro- viding “that if the residents of the Dis- trict of Columbia become inmates of said Home and are supported itn whole or in part by appropriations made by Congress, one-half of said appropriations shall be a charge upon the revenues of the District of Columbia.” In view of the Outhwaite amendment, Mr. Cannon's language would seem to have been entirely superfluous, but Mr. Cannon was not long permitted to be lonesome in his supererogatory position, for Mr. Sayers came to the front with on amendment which placed the whole of the expense of supporting District residents who might become inmates, and be sup- ported by Congressional appropriations, up- on the District of Columbia. In the debate which surrounded these completely useless amendments offered by Mr. Cannon and Mr. Sayers a great deal of time that ought to be valuable was wasted. After awhile the bill will make its appearance in the Senate and that body will, if it is at all careful of its legislative reputation, strike out the redundancy of derense and be satis- fied with the unmistakable proviso that “this institution shall not become a charge upon the United States Treasury at any time.” This Columbiaphobia is a horrible affliction. ——++e_____ New York city is one of the most pro- vincial centers of population on this terres- trial kall. Today's New York Herald says: “It has been suggested that no better way of celebrating the anniversary of the event could be formed than for each American citizen to display the Stars and Stripes at his house and place of business. A ‘flag day’ added to the list of days we celebrate, as suggested by J. A. B. in a letter to the Herald, would not be a bad fdea.” Is it possible that one of the great metropolitan journals is ignorant of the fact that there has been for some time past agitation on this subject, and that Flag Day was agreed upon and set apart long before “J. A. B.” (whoever he or she may happen to be) ever dreamed of writing to the Herald on the subject? ——- +e-____ Long Island city policemen are putting in several hours a day looking for the burglar who stole the live wire of a trolley line. Washington sentiment always tends strong- lly toward discouraging lawlessness, but it can nevertheless be stated that the enter- | prising individual who is now being pur- sued by the Long Island police would find many friends in the District of Columbia. There are but few wires here which he can steal, because the troliey has been, except in a couple of inconspicuous instances, shut out, but he is quite welcome to all the over- | head nuisances he can lay his hands upon. —— The efforts to secure showers artificially | ers are evidently so busy with their bom bardment that they have failed to note the explosion of their theory. a The repeated assertion that to take a good deal of it with him. — oe In selecting as their motto “keep off the | grass” the populists obiiterate any hope they might have entertained of securing a | Philadelphia following. > eye Flag day at once endears itself to the Public as being quite as patriotic as the Fourth of July, and not nearly so noisy. - —— oe Chicago is fearing that the success of the world’s fair has tempted her ball club to_ make an exhibition of itself.
