THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. WEDNESDAY.......November 28, 1594. ¥ 8. NOYES...............Editor, SHE EVENING STAR bas a regular an permanent circulation much more tham the combined circulation of the other Washingtom dailies. As a m@ Advertising Medjum it has no competitor. THE STAR, Dep: ilanoaiaty according to tenor or purpo: wee Now that it has been made so clearly @pparcnt that popular sentiment is antag- Onistic to the locating of the contagious hospital in the vicinity of Mount Pleasant, there is possibility that the District Com- missioners may reconsider the conclusion over which there has been so much of warm discussion. It may be that the Com- missicrers have not as yet decided to re- consider, but to an unbiased observer it seems as though reconsideration was due Rot only those who feel aggrieved but also the commissioners themselves. That the commissioners believed they were doing the proper thing must be admitted even by the people who so vigorously disagree with the authorities as to the propriety of the Mount Pleasant site, but by this time it is qnite evident that the public sense is so thoroughly adverse to the project that amendment of the commissioners’ plans Is now in order. A great many people have found it dificult to understand why such an institution as this contagious hospital is intended to be should not be located in a neighborhood already devoted to pest- house and prison purposes. A great deal of suitable ground can there be had at réasonable figures; away from all the great business arteries and far removed from the possibility of contact with the multitude. There would be no depreciation of property values consequent upon the erection of an additional hospital in the region to which reference is made, nor would the presence of the structure in any way hamper the city’s growth. To abuse the commissioners because of their action im thts matter is unfair, improper and un- wise—they did what they honestly believed to be the right thing; the remedy will doubtless be applied the sooner for the use of rational argument, of which the oppo- nents of the Mount Pleasant site should and doubtless do have an ample supply. The commissioners need not fear that by any change of site they will find them- selves with a useless piece of real estate on hand, for, while the market is some- what dull at this time, yet it is safe to aver that many citizens stand ready to pay even a little more to the commission- ers for that Mount Pleasant site than the commissioners paid to those from whom they purchased it —___ + «+ —-__ It ts not the rule that rapid progress is combined with permanance. This 1s es- pecially true Of municipal growth, whose uncertainty has been painfully illustrated during recent years by the “boom” towns of the west. ‘I'he hard times have, in many cities, caused values to depreciate to an extent which was thought impossible dur- ing the prosperous periods. Washington has not suffered this depreciation in any- thing like the degree that it has been felt elsewhere. Rents have become lower, but there has been no rush to dispose of prop- erty. In individual cases of financial ne- cessity, cases where a stress of unfortunate circumstances has made sacrifice inevitable, Property has gone for less than {ts valuo, but such cases are far less numerous in the District than elsewhere. The fact that government employes are sure of their compensation and of employment is the cornerstone of the city’s importance as a stable municipal structure. The feeling that Washington has no rights as a city— that It is merely a rendezvous for Con- sressmen—is rapidly disappearing. There 1s no logic in any effort to perpetuate It, unlegs in cases where the District is merely to be used for the benefit of outside in- terests. The Star has uncompromisingly and unwearyingly striven in behalf of Washington for Washington's sake; not occasionally, as a matter of policy, but un- swervingly, a3 a matter of principle. Ques- tions pertaining to the actual welfare of the community it has never shirked, nor will tt at any time seek to dismiss filp- pPantly or smother with rhetoric a question pertaining to local interests because it 1s formidable. The Star is Washington's newspaper, and it is proud of the fact. + 6 —____ The next meeting of the board of trade 1s likely to develop the interesting and al- together creditable fact that an over- whelming majority of the members of that body favor extension of the civil service rules to District offices. This more than Probability—which is not at all surprising —is based, first, on a reasonable assumption which credits the members of the board with the possession of more than the aver- "ge amount of good, common, every-day, business sense, and, secondly, on a poll of the board, which has been conducted by “Pecgress.” The result, as shown elsewhere in The Star, reveals an overwhelming pre- ponderance favorable to the civil service reform proposition; one hundred and twenty-one members having declared them- selves as friends to that reform, while the minority foots up a membership of but twenty-one. The figures are most grati- fying. It was naturally expected that the reformers would outnumber those who op- posed the resolution, but not even the mcst sanguine of those who belleve in a Fusi- ness-like administration of governmental affairs looked for anything like so large a majority. Before final action Is taken, the resolution will doubtless be much strength-. ened by amecndment; there will evidently be very full accord with the proposition to have the board of trade put itself flatly on record in favor of a business adminis- tration of municipal affairs by bona fide residents of the District of Columbia. oe It may be demonstrated before long wnicn is the dangerous part of the pop-gun bill; the ammunition or the recoil. —-— wee It ts evident from communications th: are being printed in The Star, that some of the long-suffering people have been aroused at lasc against the tobacco nul- sance in street cars. There can be no question as to the fact that the expectora- tion of tobacco juice in public vehicles is as much of a menace to the comfort and, perhaps, the health of the passengers, as the smoking of pipes or cigars inside the car. There are some people to whom to- bacco is a poison, whether smoked or chewed, and these people deserve consid- eration just as much as though they rep- resented ninety-nine per cent of the popu- uation, If the smoker is made to occupy certain seats in the car where his exhala- tions will not annoy other passengers, why should the chewer of the weed be permitted to enter the car and sit with folks who @re sensitive to this odor and, by his pro- fuse and continued expectorations, not only defile the floor, but disturb the stomachs of his neighbors? There can be 10 distinc- thon made between the two habits. To- bacco is tobacco, whatever may he its form, In Baltimore the chewer is obliged to cease his mastication of the quid when he enters a closed car, or else he is forced to leave the vehicle. This rule is printed plainty and hung before all eyes, so that he who chews may read. It is enforced, too, which ts the best part of any regula- tion, In this city the tobacco chewer might THE EVENING STAR, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1894—TWELVE PAGES. Xmas Gifts. be allowed to sit on the grip cars, or to stand on the platforms, where he could locate his “expressed juices of the weed nicotian” without encroaching upon cights of any other people. It might be stated that the “easements” of passengers riding in stceet cars ara stmilar to those of the property holder, namely, “light, air and access.” The parallel is not so strong as to light as to the others. The tobacco juice that 1s besprinkled about on the floors so generously certainly affects the atmos- phere, and interferes with good, healthy breathing. The moistened floors endanger the skirts of ladies and often the trousers of men with testes for long-geared ap- parel. It is no uncommon matter to see ladies tn cars obliged to lift their skirts bap the floor as though they were cross- 'f @ muddy street. The introduction of the latticed floor does away with some of the nuisance, but it is only a partial rem- edy. The man who cannot quit chewing long enough to ride a few blocks in a street car should form an association with the man who cannot cease drinking long enough to sit in his seat in the theater during a single play. These two would be appropriate companions. Meanwhile, let the local companies do the right thing, and the decent thing, and forbid the cars to any one who insists upon befouling the alr and the floors of the vehicles that were built and are run for a good many people besides himself. ——_ ++ —____ he New York World 6: The people whe are given to attributing all the evils of this country to foreign tm- migration may firally take some time to notice that in the last year more people have left the United States than have come in. And they may finally learn how close the connection is between this and de- creasing values in this market. On the contrary, the fact that these peo- ple have left indicates their lack of sub- stantlality. Tiey are drifters ane cling to America only because it affords better sub- sistence than they find elsewhere. An effort to attribute hard times to immigra- tion ts a logical somersault that stops half way. ——_~++-+—___ There were forty-two men at work on the city pogt-office building today.

I'm going over to demand satisfaction of the editor, and I think maybe it'll be a good idea for me to wear it.” Thanksgiving Eve.

From the Atlanta Constitution. The Japanese are a patriotic people. In the present struggle with China they have | — voluntarily contributed $15,000,000 to carry on the war. The Bank of Nobles has do- nated $1,000,000 and loaned $15,000,000 more without interest. Many noblemen and mer- chants have given $100,000 each, and even the poorest citizens have contributed small sums. But the Chinese manifest no such spirit. They are not willing to part with their money or risk their lives. The highest omctals steal government funds, and the soldiers try to skulk out of every battle.
