4 -EVENING STAR SATURDAY, JUNE 80, 1894—TWENTY AGES. THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. ++++-JSume 30, 1894. . Editor. coche ont WHE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation much re than the combined circulatt of “he other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. The board of trade, in heartily indorsing yesterday the bond-issue project, acted wisely in commending the general prin- ciple of a bond-issue instead of express- ing an opinion concerning the minute -de- tails of the proposed bill, and in calling at- tentfén to the proportionate contribution of the national government to all parts of the proposed improvements as a vital feature of the legislation as indorsed by the board. The sentiment of the board was practi- cally unanimous on the general ptinciple involved, whereas there were some differ- ences of opinion in respect to certain de- tails. By the course pursued the board was enabled to act as a unit and to give all the force to its declaration which comes from the presentation of an undivided front,while members were left uncommitted in respect to matters of detail, like the hours and pay of laborers to be employed, the degree of minuteness with which the Commissioners should be required to indicate in advance the character and location of improvements, and other simflar questions. It would clearly have been inadvisable to indorse the pending bill in all its details while the measure was still in its formative Btage in many respects. The Commissioners have themselves submitted a number of pro- pesed amendments for consideration by the ‘House committee. Details, if indorsed by the board yesterday, might, at the Commis- sioners’ request or with their consent, be changed tomorrow, to the embarrassment metic to figure out how many thousands of dollars worth of time is annually wasted be- cause the railroad company chooses to have its trains stand at street crossings; the total amount would be tremendous. Cross- ings at grade are dangerous, even when the danger has been minimized by gates and watchmen, but it cannot be claimed by the Baltimore and Ohio Company that it tries to make present conditions as harmless as possible. Few of the crossings are properly guarded, and many of them are without watchmen at night, although, in some in- stances, the thoroughfares bisected are im- portant and frequently traveled. As a na- tural consequence, narrow escapes are very frequent, and the wonder is that more lives are not sacrificed. The remedies asked by the people of this city are not unreasonable. The Baltimore and Ohio Company has ac- knowledged the desirability, if not the Le- cesgity, of elevating its tracks, but it will not do anything toward the fulfilment of its Promises until it 1s compelled by Congress. ‘Three years ago tepresentatives of the com- pany appeared before the Senate District committee and gave the members of that body a very definite ‘mpression as‘ to an elevated structure of solid masonry which the company had in mind to erect at the earliest period; since then the company kas done nothing but postpone and make excuse and deny. This ts an especially au- spicious time for commencing a work of such magnitude as the elevation of the tracks undoubtedly would prove to be, and Congress should take the matter up in ear- nest. A vast amount of capital is now idle and can be secured without difficulty at low rates by such a strong company as the Bal- timore and Ohio, while labor and material are cheaper than they have been for a long while. ——>+o—____ Whenever there is threat of an epidemic the people of the United States invariably become much excited and call loudly upon the authorities to take every step necessary and a gocd many steps that are unneces- sary to shut cut or stamp out the dread disease. At such times the popular condi- tion is panicky in the extreme and it takes the combined efforts of about all the sensi- ble men and women in the country to bring the unduly-excitable ones back to their senses. But in the matter of preventable diseases—fevers of several varieties, diph- of the board through the implied reflection upon the wisdom of its original indorse- ment. The second section of the resolution em- phasizes one of the most admirable features of the proposed legislation. Under the ex- isting street-extension law the national government is exempted from any share in the cost of street improvement beyond Boundary street. The influential citizens who secured this law, permitted it to be passed with this objectionable provision, only when they found that it was impossible, under the ex- isting circumstances, to get it through the House in any other shape, and they accom- panied their assent to this legislation by the assurance to other citizens that they would secure a correction of this gross injustice by subsequent amendment. Now, for the first time, a large appropriation is asked for suburban street extension, and contem- Doraneously with the request these citizens Seem to indicate their readiness to meet thei? pledges with respect to a change of the existing unjust law. This resolution ac- centuates the fact that a piece of correc- tive legislation is now proposed which is of tremendous importance to all the interests of theria and consumption—there is remarka- ble listlessness, although the number of per- fons who die unnecessarily far exceeds the total of those who perish from smallpox and yellow fever and cholera. This state- ment ts easily capable of homemade proof, but for the present purposes of argument it is better to use figures that are compara- tive. The English health authorities have been working to diminish the death rate from preventable diseases for some years past, and have done great work. In the decade ending 1880, the average death rate from preventable diseases was 21,272 out of each million of population; in the previous decade, before there was any sanitary legis- lation that could be termed effective, the death rate was 22,416—fair application of the law had resulted in a saving of 1,444 lives out of every million. It is easy enough to figure out what even this rate of salvage would do for the people of the United States. Before any marked improvement can, however, take place !n this country, there will have to be a central organization devoted wholly to the work of instruction and supervision—a bureau of public health, attached to an appropriate department and controlled entirely by the general govern- mert. the capital in the restoration and mainten- ance, intact, of the principle of proportion- ate contribution, and makes it clear that this change of the law is as important a proposition and as vital a feature of the project as street extension itself. Washington works for suburban street extension on the same basis of expenditure that prevails in respect to street improve- ment in other parts of the capital, and not en a basis which constitutes a perpetually threatening and dangerous precedent in re- Spect to the financial relations of the rest of the federal District toward the national government. The crusade now organizing is for (1) a bond issue for sewer completion, (2) a change in the law exempting the national government from financial obligations in respect to the greater Washington of the mear future, which lies outside of existing Boundary street, and (3) a bond issue for comprehensive urban and suburban street — +e —__ At this cheerful season of the year, when the sun shines wth eviden’ enthvsiasm and the elements seem to be in imminent danger of melitirg with fervent heat, it is pleasing to note, on the authority of M. Wikis, a scientist of renown, that a temperature of 257 degrees below zero was registered at Werckojansk, in Eastern Siberta, in Febru- ary, 1892. The news is a littls late in mak- ing its appearance, but it is so refreshing in its character as to awaken at least tempo- rary interest. M. Wilds says that the rec- ord of that Werckojansk thermometer is a long way below any other known to man- kind of today. Perhaps so, but if Prof. Wilds is a student of temperatures and an admirer of genuine chilliness he should come to Washington and enjoy ore of those “cold days” for the development cf which the Washington Baseball Club is being held responsible by people whe are unreasonable enough to imagine that the home team extension and improvement, the suburban work being conducted only on the basis of the changed law. This program of public Work is a noble and attractive one. Now for a long pull, and a strong pull, and a pull all together! + ~++—____. Republicans who are priding themselves on the possession of presidential booms must not be overconfident, for a veteran not recently mentioned in connection with the possibility of presidential nomination is about to lead a crusade, the object of which 1s the abolition of the tipping sys- tem, now so extensively practiced on sleep- ing cars. The leader of this popular move- ment is Senator Sherman, and he has se- cured senatorial indorsement of a resolu- tion requiring the committee on interstate commerce “to inquire into the expediency of regulating by law the employment and use of sleeping and parior cars, not owned by railroad companies engaged in inter- state commerce, th> cost of operating them, the charges made for their use, and what would be a reasonable charge for the seats, berths and sections therein.” No mention is made in the resolution of the porters or the methods by which they are sald to be compelled to assault the pocket books of those who patronize sleeping or parlor cars, but in an interview printed in The Star the Senatcr outlines the plan of campaign. If he can succeed in wiping out the tip sys- tem he will render the traveling public a service for which votes would be but paltry recompense. The investigation promises to make plain some matters that have been considerably obfuscated, and before the eommittee makes its report the public will doubtless krow whether there is any truth in the oft-made statement that the sleeping- car companies have by their alleged failure to pay their porters and conductors suffi- cient wages unjustly compelled individuals to contribute toward the support of those . employes. ——— + +=+—___ The fate of Prendergast 1s not without its horror.

By this time the House committee on the District of Colum- Dim should have a very fair idea of the ob- structive and destructive conditions that prevail along the Baltimore and Ohio right- of-way in Washington. Its members have been introduced to the ancient system by | men who have daily experience with its | shortcomings and its threats, and out of | the information acquired tn such trips of inspection as took place yesterday should come legislation so framed that it must af- ford relief to the thousands now h@urly dis- Qressed.

The testimony de- veloped by shrewd counsel has proven com- clusively the existence of municipal rotten- ness the like of which has probably never been known in any other city in the coun- try. All classes of people, from wealthy gamblers down to the shoeblacks on the streets (morally the shoeblacks ought per- haps to have been mentioned first), have been blackmailed out of sums that in the aggregate cannot have been otherwise than encrmous. People who were not unnatu- rally curious have wondered as to the sources from whence Tammany’s “bosses” secured their wealth.

THE WEEK. Teg Senate has nearly completed its con- sideration of the tariff bill, the fight ovtr the income tex feature being the important part of the past week's work. It was passed on Thursday, only Messrs, Smith and Muré phy of the democrats voting with ‘Mr. Hill against it. The House passed ‘the bill ad-~ mitting New Mexico to statehood. Sensa~ tional evidence was given during the in- vestigation of the frauds in making armor plate at the Carnegie mill. Congress ad- journed on Monday out of sympathy with Erance for the assassination of President Carnot. The House passed the Senate bill making Labor day (the first Monday in September) a national holiday. A joint resolution was passed extending the appro- priations for thirty days, the Senate having failed to pass all the appropriation bills they came from the House. The boycott.of. Pullman cars ordered by the American Rail- way Union, in support of the demands of the workmen at Pullman for more wages, was inaugurated on eleven railroads enter- | ing Chicago, fornia were instructed to see that trains bearing the mails were not interfered with.

The assassination of President Carnot of | France at Lyons on Sunday evening by Cesario Santo, a Sicilian anarchist, aroused the horror of the civilized world. On Wed- nesday M. Casimir-Perier, president of the chamber of deputies, was elected his suc- cessor. Premier Dupuy resigned and M. Burdeau was asked to form a cabinet. The new president is not satisfactory to the so- cialists and radicals. The trial of Santo has been fixed for July 23; he w: difficulty saved from lynching. Sixty-five thousand Scotgh miners struck against are duction in wages. Many lives were lost ina Spanish mine explosion. A new company has been raised with $12,000,000 to complete the Panama canal.

The opening of the bathing beach was an event which caused the boys of small and larger growth to rejoice. Agi- tation for and against city wells has con- tinued steadily; the wells are being filled up as rapidly as necessary. Preparations on the part of the citizens’ committee for the Pythian encampment are going right ahead with great enthusiasm. The death of Rear Admiral William G. Temple from apoplexy occurred during the week.
