6 THE EVENING STAR, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1894—TWELVE PAGES. — THE EVENING STAR. ~~ WASHINGTON. TUESDAY...... .December 4, 1804. CROSBY S. NOYES. -Edltor. THE EVENING STAR bas a regular and permanent circulation much more | t the combined circulation of | the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. delays, on ac- of personal absence, letters t TAR should not be addressed to i hee, the Editorial or Business Departments, For several years Congress, In its capac- ity as the legislature of the District, has been procrastinating over the problem of the steam railroad crossings and terminal facilities in this city, putting it off from year to year and session to session as a Gisagreeable and difficult topic, until it has become the most easily-postponed | question with which the committees have | to deal. It cannot be prudent to neglect | this matter, for it 1s becoming more diftl- | cult each year while the necessity for its solution grows more urgent. It is sald that | there are certain reasons why ft should | not be attacked during this session. It is | suggested that the time is too short for a comprehensive grasp of the situation to be ured, and delay is urged on the ground that at another session the conditions will be more favorable. It is hinted that there are certain men on the committees and in the houses whose antagonism, for certain reasons, is such as to preclude any possi- bility of settling the long-vexed question. Granting this to true and presuming that there ts a disposition on the part of | some, at least, of the members of the com- | mittees to finally arrive at some conclusion in this matter, would it not be fair to the citizens for Congress to make preparations | now to this end by authorizing some joint commission of the two houses to make a preliminary survey of the entire question, without power to do anything more than to outline a plan for the future which might | be possibly be enacted into law at some other session? It is certain that when the question is finally taken up for legislative adjudication much time will necessarily be lost in inquiry into the premises of the case. It sasonable to hope that even the friends of the railroad themselves would consent to full inquiry Into the merits of the case. Any refusal on their part to such a proposition would confirm the suspicion that has existed for a long while—that they love darkness rather than light. At all events let a start be made, let Congress give some evidence of good faith in the matter rather than continue to make empty promises and so crush all hope. It is certain that the citizens of the Dis- trict, almost without exception, desire Con- gress to take definite action that will es- tablish for all time to come the matter of the location of the stations, the grade of | the crossings, and the thousand and one smaller matters attendant upon this great | subject. The delay has already resulted in an unstable condition of property values in the vicinity of the railroads and a gener ally unsettled state of business. Real es- tate interests around the lines and ends of the two railroad systems that now almost Disect the city are greatly injured. They can never recover until Congress shall de- | termine once for all the routes and ter- | ritories of these lines and regulate them to | & point where Ife and limb shall be safe in comparison with the present conditions. Jt may not be realized by members of Con- kress whose routes to and from the Cap- itol seldom bring them into disagreeable contact with these terrible menaces, the yailway lines with their grade crossings, what a large proportion of the citizens of | Washington is daily compelled to cross | the tracks. As suggested, the to Hnes ‘gimost cut the city in half. There now re- mains a yery narrow strip of territory less | than half a mile in width between the two stations that 1s unencumbered with the death-dealing tracks. Fortunately for the roads, Pennsylvania avenue, that great artery of the city, has been left open to traffic, and so the ordinary congressional route to the Capitol has not been destroyed. Otherwise, it is not doubted for a moment Some radical solution of the question would have been reached years ago. As it 1s | the residents of the northeast section are | compelled to cross the Baltimore and Ohio | Yracks into the heart of the city. This 1s | & rapidly growing part of town and in a few years will be one of the most densely populated quarters. A majority of the employes of the great Printing Office, in addition to having their lives endangered by the building they are now forced to oc- cupy, are compelled to traverse this death- Delt twice and sometimes four times a Hay. The conditions are similar, but per- haps worse in the southwestern section of the city. A solution of this serious prob- Jem should be forced and the work ought | ‘not to be one of extreme difficulty, for doth the Pennsylvanta and Baltimore and | Unto companies have intimated willingness to do something of a reformatory sort. Bhould a member of Congress or a Sena- tor some day be crushed under the wheels Df a locomotive at a grade-crossing in- stead of the helpless child of a humble man of labor, even the vaunted power of ‘the corporations would not avail to stem the tide of tardy resentment that would Sweep through the halls of Congress and Temove the monster that has done as much Gamage to Washington as the railroads’ interests permitted. soe The Star saw to it yesterday that the people of Washington received the earliest possible information as to what the Prest- dent had to say to Congress ard what the | District Commissioners recommended to | that same legisiative bedy. The Star's ex- | tra, containing the two documents referred to, was In circulation as soon as it could be, | having regard for the pledge which pro- tects the President's message from pub- | Ucity until that communication is duly laid before the Senate and House. In | these days of mechanical appliances that | seem to be almost human the feat is only | commonplace; it is mentioned simply for | the purpose of accentuating The Star's | all-the-time, every-day policy of printing | the news well ahead of all competitors, and in a style not anywhere to be surpassed. ——_ +++. — While a great deal of benefit has un- @oubtedly accrued to the human family from discoveries in bacteriological science it is becoming painfully apparent that this has not been without a c ponding loss. With the finding of every new germ has come a warning against a certain habit or @ certain food, and when the family of | ‘bacteria seemed nearly all ferreted out new filding-places have been located and new avarnings given that have greatly eribed our dietary. With one fell swoop trichina sptralis discounted pork. The | germ of pleuro-pneumonia has given a plack eye to American cattle. Ptomaines have found lodgment in sausages to the wreat discomfture of the makers and o6n- | wumérs of that delightful article of food. Even milly is threatened. There seems to | he scarcely an article of everyday cor f®umption that has not at some time or ‘other been discredited and pointed out by | ‘the Onger of science as dangerous. The latest victim of the all-consuming micro- ope fs the oyster, Dr, C, J. Foote, | {Memonstratoy in Lag ey at Yale, has scovered that the typhoid fever ves and probably ¢ ives in the shell of circum- | | percentage of those | the city post-office building tod: | gointer keep even, Mandy, suri the living oyster and thus traces the cause of a recent outbreak of typhoid fever at Wesleyan University. This opinion has been | Officially ratified by the State Board of Health of Connecticut and the promulga- tion of these disclosures has caused a fall- ing off in the oyster sales in and around New Haven to the amount of $100,000 in about three weeks. Dr. Foote has not yet determined whether the germ has the power to propagate itself in the oyster, but he promises to continue his investigation along this line. It is, of course, a matter of great interest whether the fresh-water oyster is most peculiarly susceptible to this Influence or whether it extends also | to its more marketable brother of the salt- water. It is certain that the oyster, grow- ing as it does at the bed of a stream or body of water fs directly in the way of alluvial drift that settles as it flows and thus is In direct line of contagion from the many typhoid elements that are contained in the surface drainage. It will be valuable to ascertain how far this influence can be felt from the source of propagation of the germs and whether they can be carried to any distance into the salt water. It will be unfortunate indeed for Washington if the oyster should be discredited in this matter. These disclosures should lead to a better system of control over the oyster- beds and their inspection by health author- ities. The oyster forms so large an item in the American diet today that it should | not be allowed to become a@ victim to the insidious bacilius without at least a vigor- ous attempt at deflance. — +++ Ladies who have been absent from the city during the congressional recess will please note the fact that the wearing of large hats in theaters is no longer fash- lonabie. The Star has conducted a crusade against the selfish monstrosities which have obscured the stage and its occupants | from the view of those who were unfortu- | nate enough to find themselves in seats be- hind the enormous headgear commonly worn to such places by people who, as a rule, sinned through thoughtlessness rather than vanity. The big hat was once a fea- ture in Washington theatrical perform- ances—much to the disgust of a very large who composed the audiences—but, thanks to an awakened public sentiment, exaggerated millinery is entirely out of date after the curtain rises. 30. ‘There were forty-four men em four energetic and capable constructors ht, if The Star's magnanimous calcula- tion held good, complete the building by December 2, 1898. The probabilities point to no new post-office before about August 17, 1906. It is two years, nine months and thirteen days since the work was com- menced and the stonework of the second story is still unfinished. ——_—_ ++ — The custom of taking Indians who visit the east to exhibitions of legerdemain must cause them to be reminded of the manner in which rations and appropriations disap- pear. One of the most arduous duties devolving upon America’s representative in England is that of explaining this country’s failure to live up to Mr. Wilson's advance notices. ee It ts generally thought that the message indicates a disposition to retrench on the | administration's “things we- would rather have left unsaid” department. ——_ sae — All Japan asks Is that this administra- tion will let her affairs alone as carefully as it did those of the democratic party during the last election, ae Germany should be warned that any dis- crimination against our meats is pretty sure to cauge a marked deterioration in the Frankfurter Some of our prima donnas are in a posi- tion to bring charges of incompatibility and failure to support against their operas. —— ‘The message would Indicate that the White House does not include a well-posted editorial suggestor in its equipment, ——_ +02 It may be that the President was afraid to trust his feelings and took refuge in a disereet silence on certain topics. +o Congressman Sauerherring 1s no doubt one of the good fish who did not get left in the sea. oo With Chauncey M.
