8 y y > oT pure water supply for all parts of the city _THE EVEN ING ST AR. is the most urgent need of Washington at WASHINGTON the present time. Such an opinion from Sumeat October 26, 1894, | SUCb an authority should have much weight. ariet sat: __ | Citizens and Congress should give every posible aid to the officials in charge of the pammiinzy aloe Novns. --BaNeor- | Washington Aqueduct to the end that the THE EVENING STAR has a regular ana | ¥4ter supply should no longer be considered as an open gate through which dread permanent circulation much more than the combined circulation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. tlm order to avoid delays, on ac- absence, mot be ad 1 connected w THE STAR, or to ax Departments, purpose. according to tenor Of the many things of which this city stands in nee‘, no one thing ts more consptc- uous by its absence than the Contagious Dis- eases Hospital which the District Commis- sioners some time ago tried to locate and erect. When it was first proposed to have ready for use at any time a building in which persons afflicted with virulent diseases of a contagious sort could recetve treatment of the most advanced character and yet be completely isolated, there was general con- currence as to the idea's being a good one, but when the Coramissioners suggested a; site, there at once arose a loud protest from some of the peopie owning property in that particular region. Then another site was suggested, but the change merely resulted in another violent protest; and so it.was, no matter where the Commissioners wanted to build the hospital. To speak of the protests as unreasonable would, per- haps, be unfair, for it is possible that prop- erty immediately adjacent to the ground in the center of which the hospital would be put up might suffer some slight deprecia- tion in value. It would, therefore, be im- proper to say anything harsh of those who exercised an inalienabie privilege in defend- ing their own; there is a strony strain of selfishness in human nature, and as it is quite universally distributed the actions of protesting property-holders was not at all extraordinary. But it is unfortunate that the Commissioners did not exercise the powers conferred upon them by law and arbitrarily select a site. Had that been done, the Health Office would not now be fretting because its capacity for usefulness is today seriously hampered by the lack of such an institution as this city should have had long ago. The location of a Conta- gious Diseases Hospital in any populated neighborhood would unquestionably be the cause of some friction, a good deal of vocal warmth and some financiai hardship, but the absence of the hospital, which every one admitted was a necessity, exposes the entire population of the city to the danger of con- tagion; a most undesirable state of affairs. It is possible and highly probable that or- ganized medical effort will prevent anything like an epidemic of smali-pox at this time, but if the effort to subdue the threatened danger is successful, it will be in spite of conditions decidely adverse to such a sat- isfactory conclusion. A Contagious Diseases Hospital commenced now would not, of course, be of any present value, but it may be worth a good deal in the near future. A better time for action than the present will never be found. —- ree —__ Expert opinion is always entitled to re- spectful consideration and there is espe- cial reason for heeding the opinion just enunciated by Mr. Eugene V. Debs, presi- dent of the American Railway Union. Mr. Debs is am authority on strikes and while he was aot sufficiently expert as a strike manager to do even the half of what he a few months ago planed to do, he will, nevertheless, be remembered for awhile as the individual who did the best he could to engineer what, up to this time, is con- ceeded to be the biggest thing in railroad strikes ever known in this or any other ccuntry. Therefore it is only proper to jesignate Mr. Debs an expert on all mat- ters of the strike variety. Last night he addressed a iarge audience in Brooklyn, nd, among other things, said: “Labor or- ganizations collapse now and then because they resort to strikes. I must say that I am opposed to strikes, and the more I see of them the less faith I have in the efficacy of such movements.” This is a confession to which too much of attention cannot easily be directed, and a warning deserving continuous prominence. Extended com- ment is entirely unnecessary. The most vigorous of those who opposed Mr. Debs last July could not have made a stronger statement or one that is likely to do as much geod. se eo eee President Cleveland {s at last back in Washington. It is not to be doubted that he {s glad to return to this neutral terri- tory, where the strife of politics is stilled, and where there is nothing unpleasant to remind one of the fact that there is a campaign in progress in New York. The President is not alone in his fondness for Washington. That is a tendency that has been shown to be very general among the American people. Even now there are up- wards of a thousand good citizens striving for the chance to come to Washington at the expense of the other thousands of thou- sands. This is the goal for which multi- tudes of hearts are yearning. It is no wonder then that Mr. Cleveland does not tarry long in his coming, especially in that cauldron of turmoil, the metropolis. Here no insidious agent of any faction can reach him, no emissary on harmony bent can persuade him to talk against his will. It is a harbor of refcge. Mr. Hill would like to be here himself, no doubt, just as the President is now here. This is a good place to be in. —- - ee There were seventy men employed on the city post-office building today. Precisely, the census gives but sixty-nine, but as half a ‘s man's work was uncounted on Wednesday and as another half man’s work is being done today, it 1s only fair to the authorities and the contractors—who, by the way, seem to be running the job—to give credit for all that ts being done. The axtremely liberal estimate made by The Star when | than a s e of men were at work upon the structure has it that seventy men steadily engaged and skillful in their respe-tive lines shovid finish the building by September 20, 1896. That such a con- clusion is impossible must be evident. alt | the probabilities favor a new and habitable post-offic thrown open for business on or about August 17, 1906. — Much has been said and written during the past two years cn the great need for such an improvement of the water supply of Wasbingt: would raive the drinking w: | ter of the city fer above suspi mn. There is nothing especially alarming In the present estate of the water supp! and it may truth- fully be sald that Washington {s well off in this r , compared with other American cities, it still, fromm a sanitary point of view, Washington's water supply is far from perfect. If the Potomee river above the | point of in-take once becam2 contaminated | with plague germs, there s nothing to pre- vent the ering the city. As it is, mi re discd d in the wi ter, which, while not of an extremely dan- gerous character, show, by thelr presence, that the germs of cholera or other dan- gerous plagues could ea enter the clty by way of t ater. The engineer officer in charge has repeatedly urged Congress to provide the means for protecting the water supply by sedimentation or filtration, but so far little has been done, beyond the proper raining of the region surrounding the re- cetving re: “ir, Dr, Billin, words in his address to the Medical Society Wednesday night are worthy of serious attention. In his view the securing of an abundant and diseases might enter the city. Already Con- gress has approved a system of sewerage for the city, which, in the opinion of ex- perts, will be adequate for years to come, but the rate of yearly appropriation is such as to make it lkely that the whole system will not be completed before the city has | Srown to proportions that will render the Proposed system inadequate. The Star and the officers of the District Government have urged again the wisdom and real economy of making provision for the immediate com- pletion of the proposed system, but so far Congress has not changed its penny-wise policy. At the present rate of progress half a century or more will be required to com- plete the great interceptors and the dis- charging sewers. There are no subjects connected with the District Government de- manding more earnestly the serious atten- tion of Congress than the improvement of the water supply and the rapid completion of the sewerage system. ——_ + +e Eager critics whose arrow-like words were frequently been dipped in partisan venom have insisted that lawlessness was a southern characteristic and have again and egain declared tnat men accused of serious offenses against the other sex were inva- riably lynched by an indignant populace. That such accusations lack foundation must be admitted even by the most unrelenting, for testimony in defence of at least one southern community is irrefragible. Some two months ago a white man residing in Chester county, South Carolina, was charged with first assaulting and then mur- dering a colored woman. The probabilities and the evidence were all against the ac- cused and great excitement prevailed in the vicinity of the tragecy. A large number of negroes (incited to such action by the im- itative faculty which the negro possesses) gathered themselves together for the pur- pose of saving the state any further trouble or expense in that particular case, and would doubtless have succeeded in cutting short the career of the accused had not the civil authorities called upon the militia to assist them in holding the prisoner for trial. After much commotion, the would- be lynchers gave up their attempt to be murderously-lawless and, in the fullness of time, the accused was tried and ac- quitted, and a great victory for law and order was scored in Chester county, South Carolina. Unreasoning agitators may ergue that the facts that the accused was white and the murdered one colored may have had something to do with the rather un- usual interest the authorities seem to have taken in this matter, but that is a decidedly- biased view. The thing to be remembered is the truth that state troops can be and have been called out in South Carolina to protect a prisoner whose life was threatened by a mob. People who have loudly declared such a happening to be impossible will please subside. The decision of a Missouri court that a man cannot be prosecuted for repeating puts it in the power of a candidate to make a very respectable showing at the polls simply by means of his own vote and a little in- dustry, ————_ 0 ___ There is much to justify an impression that the amount of activity that a politician is allowed to display in a campaign depends on whether he holds a big office or a little one. —___ + ++ -____ Chinese soldiers are sald to be as a rule addicted to the use of cigarettes.

She bought a little bit of a thing.” Between Acronauts. “I pray yor, take a drop with me; Your health ‘twill surely suit.” “Nay, nay,” quoth he, “it cannot be, I have no parachute.”” For Purpose of Campurison, “Barly rising is a great thing,” said the enthusiastic man; “a great thing. “Yes,” responded the siuggard. “It makes you appreciate the chance for a nap in the morning when you get It.” Misfit Seasons, Wouldn't winter's coming Gratify the soul If it only meant the need Of ice instead of coal?

I see that Emperor William hag written a poem.” Her Mind on Other Things. “Bismarck could even now be a great leader of the Germans,” said the hero wor- shiper. “Really!” exclaimed the absent-minded girl; “I didn’t know he danced.” Romeo and Juliet. “Tonight,” quoth he, “to the play I'll go; I long for the sighing Romeo. Expense won't stop me; a seat I'll get. 1 yearn for the graces of Juilet.” But his was the usual iuck. He sat In range exact with the theater hat. From side to side as his fate he cursed He dodged; but the hat always got there first. Of fanciful feathers he saw a show, But never a trace of Romeo; And posies in pyramids neatly set, But never a sign of Juliet. — oe Humiliation, From the New York W d. The Lexow revelations have reached even the schoolboys. Rival teams of youngsters meet every day in Central Park to play football. When the grounds are wet and soft the park authorities forbid playing. Then begin the troubles of the giant police- man who has charge of the grounds. When he orders the boys off they go to a safe distance and call back: “What's your price, pantata?” “Next time we'll bring a bottle of whisky along,” and like remarks cer- tainly not calculated to soothe. ——_ + += —_— Not Optimistic.
