THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. TUESDAY.............. January 1, 1895. CROSBY S. NOYES. -Editor. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation much more vhan the combined circulation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. o count of personal absence, letters to THE STAB should not be addressed te any individual connected with th: Office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- mefits, according to tener or purpose. a A truly serious condition of affairs is that to which The Star yesterday directed atten- tion fn its announcement that the garbage contractors—the National Sanitary Com- pany—were unable, ty reason of ice in the river, to remove from the city limits the great quantity of garbage which ts daily gathered and, under ordinaty circum- stances, dumped away down the river. ‘The situation makes prominent two phases of local importance—the inability of the garbege contractors to carry out their con- tract during a spell of cold weather and the comparative helplessness of the District au- thorities; the latter condition due in this in- stance to congressional failure to provide this city with an ice-boat. The fact that several hundred tons of health-threatening decaying matter are now piled up so near to the heart of the city that a breeze from the west would scatter odors and germs ali over the District of Columbia is a pow- erful argument against the present system; @ stronger argument cannot easily be found. The Star has insisted and continues to irsist that anything like satisfactory removal of the city’s garbage will not be possible until other methods of disposal are adopted. Experience here. and elsewhere has shown conclusively how extremely weak and unnecessarily expensive is the method here in vogue. Other cities have tried it and have given it up in disgust; some of thent to put up incinerating plants, others to encourage bright business men who sought and found profit in garbage reduction and tn the sale of the products. That garbage reduction is a lucrative oc- cupation when properly conducted has been prover very conclus'vely; so large are the profits that in at least one city in the United States the proprietor of the reduc- tion plant collects every pound of garbage free of charge to the municipality or the individual tax-payer, and could really af- ford to pay a bonus for the privilege of collection. Surely that which ts possible in Detroit should be capable of application here. Washington is the center of a large agricultural area, much of it in need of the soll stimulants that modern chemistry so readily extracts from the matter which here is permitte® to go to waste. This, however, may not be the time for urging upon the authorities the adoption of the most modern and most economical method—the season for that will be here when the present contract has about ex- pired—tut it most emphatically is the time to urge Congress to give instant attention to a matter that cannot be neglected with- out gravely threatening the public health. The collection of garbage from the homes of the city will continue—but even that is likely to be slighted whenever slighting is possible—and in the course of two or three days more the G street wharf will be un- able to accommodate the great mass of filth that will be piled upon it. Of course, it is the duty of the National Sanitary Company to keep tts agreement and to re- move from this neighborhood all the gar- bage it collects, and the company has no right to full back upon the District Com- missioners for assistance in the fulfilment of contract pledges, but in view of the company's apparent inability to break the ice blockade, the Commissioners—as the conservators of local health—are compelled to solve the problem with all possible rapid- ity. This would be cemparatively easy if the District of Columbia owned an ice- boat—such a craft as has often been asked for—but under present circumstances it is likely to prove difficult and costly. That it will be done is, of course, certain, for the present board of Commissioners has a way of reaching results when there is great pub- lic necessity, but the doing of it will almost surely cripple some much-needed reform which could possibly be wrought with the funds that will be diverted by reason of the garbage exigency. There is one thing that Mr. John Burns, Englishman, M. ¥., hasn’t said yet, and whieh he might say with entire truth and eminent pertinency. It is this: If an American or any other forelgner should visit Kngland and publicly criticise and comment upon the people and institutions of England, as he has criticised and-com- mented upon those of the United States since he has been here, such foreign critic and commenter would be driven from the platform forthwith, by a howling mob, with @ fair chance of having his or her head broken in the free and easy proceeding. - —- ree —___.

That is to say, there is a strong tendency im the demonstrations of scientific men, their arguments, and theories, to refute what at first glance appears to be, to the lay mind, axiomatic truths. Paradoxes, however, are abhorred by science, and beneath all the apparent contradictions of advanced thought there are strong founda, tions of reason and good sense. Thus at first view the assertions of L. R. S. Toma- lin, who writes in the New Review on ‘Science and Clothing,” are directly an- tagonistic to some beliefs that the popuuar mind insists upon retaining. Ho urges that vegetable fibers are wholly unsuited to use as materials for human clothing, either in summer or winter. The skin, he argues, is so largely the guide to the general con- dition of the bedy that it must be covered, rot with absorbent materizls, that take from it all its emanations, but with porous substances, that permit the excess heat of the body to pass away, while preventing the normal heat of the skin, necessary to preserve its proper functions, from being lost. There is danger, he says, in cotton or linen clothing—these being the principal examples of vegetable clothing. They are too conducive of beat, and, in winter, when the outer temperature is lower thar that of the body, there is great danger that the skin may, by pouring out its heat to the greedy air through the sieve-like clothes, become so chilled that it closes its pores, refuses longer to throw off the secretions im the form of vapor, odors-and moisture. This clogs the blood with the impurities that have besn gathered by it in the course of its circulation, and the refuse fs then forced back into the organs, pro- ducing a condition that {s called a “cold” from its first cause. It is known that a heavy sweat, a hot bath, and cther radical remedies that open the pores, will go far if not wholly to the cure of this affliction. and ‘The lie The skin has been relieved of its chiil the course of nature Is started again. prevention of this, the writer alleges, ia the use of woolen clothes, which THE EVENING STAR, TUESDAY, JANUARY 1, 1895-TWELVE PAGES. excess heat ts allowed to pass away, but no other. It is better that there should be too much warmth next to the skin than not encugh. But the odors that are ema- nated from the pores as @ part of the re- fuse of the blood must not be retained within or by the outer covering of the bedy. Therefore, the fact that wool is not capable of absorbing odors is a factor in its behalf. Mr. Tomalin shows thut the atmosphere of the body mvst be replen- ished just as is the atmosphere of a room. The vegetable fibcr is eager for all odors. It stores them away as @ sponge does moisture. There is a certain an:ount of poison accumulated in the vegetable cloth that is not removed by the passage of heat back and forth through the mete- rial. Another element of superiority is the power of the animal fiber to shed water. This prevents the dampness of the skin that is so injurious. Yet it might appear that wool, being non- absorbent, impervious to moisture, and non-conducting of heat, would surround the bedy with « dense wall, through which none of the skin’s emanations could escape. This is cured by the one element of the wool—porosity. The moistures of the skin are drawn through the cloth to the outer surface and there evaporated. So with the odors. Yet the character of the animal fiber is such that the outer layers of the wool materia’ do not permit the water from without to enter, shedding them read- ty as does the proverbial duck’s back. The demonstrator of these opposite facts claims that there is more comfort in wool in all seasons, and at all hours. He argues that there is more heaith and enjoyment on summer nights under a woolen blanket than a linen sheet, for the same reasons that there is more health inside of woolen clothes than those made of vegetable fiber. ——+ ¢ = —— The year 184 has gone into history. Were the peopie of this ume and place given to indulgence in retrospect a good deal of at- tention might protitably be paid to the events which are conspicuous in the annais of the past tweivemonth—we might dwell advantageously upon the good that has been done and the blessed influences that know no caiendar, or ponder over the evil that has been wrought and be benefited by wholesome thought thereon—but we have hardly achieved that philosophical plane. ‘This is the nation of today, yet not guiltless of umscriptural but natural anxiety as to tomorrow; tolerably careless though as to anything much more remotely in the future than the day aimost in view. On occasions that appeal to our patriotism we give ex- pression to reverence for our national past and we intermittently do homage to the memories of the more prominent makers of @ most glorious history, but when the average is figured out it is evident that the crcwd is intent upon things present. The weakness Is not, however, of the fatal sort; it can be borne with something akin to equanimity if there is continuation of the general effort to make the present day not- able for some variety of improvement— either individual, municipal or national. ‘Yhe trend, it is gratifying to note, is in the right direction; what has been termed the “fad” for reform has become a habit; peo- ple now look with reasonable assurance for conditions such as would twenty-five years ago have been regarded as ideal. Pessi- mists may growl-it is civilized man’s ina- Menable right—but not even the thunder of @ combined growl can disturb the funda- mental fact that the world is better today than it ever was before. And it will be better a year hence than it is now. ———+e2s—_—_. A story to the effect that the stove was stolen from the President's sentry box has been circulated.

N. ¥. Tribune. “The Boke has at last found space to review at length the not brief biography of Lincoln by Messrs. Nicolay and Hay. The review is, from more than one point of view, a very remarkable paper. As much justice as could be expected is done to the biography itself, which any one but an ‘American may naturally think demands more time to master than th European can afford, To sf seems less a biography than an ¢ record of contemporary Americ: an elaborate and discursive narrative. the fairness of the spirit in which Me Nicolay and Hay write is recognized an fg their ability. “They write well,” sa “The Times,” “and it would be difficult fe civiliars to give more lucid descriptions of the campaigns which dectded the suprem- acy of the Union.” An equally emphatic tribute was due to the masterly portraiture of Lincoln, and to the picturesque account of his earlier years and the scenes of | pioneer Iffe amid which he spent them. But what is so remarkable tn “The ‘Times’ ” review Is its late and possibly re- luctant, but evidently genuine, tribute to Lincoln's greatness and to the immense services he rendered to his country. We all know what this paper used to say. What it says now amounts to a complete recan- tation. Lincoln is at last recognized as the patient, sagacious leader he was. Justice is done to his foresight and courage, to his penetrating intelligence, to his humanity, fo his large views of policy, to his mag- nanimity, to his personal ascendancy, and, not least, to that use of it by which an amicable settlement of the Trent affair was reached. General McClellan used to be a sort of hero to “The Times.” Now it is Lincoin’s retaining McClellan so long in command which casts the most doubt on his judgment of men. On the whole the estimate of Lincoln is one which the Ameri- can may rejoice to read in the leading al of Europe. --At-- PERRY’S. OME MADE COATS POSSESS ONB decided advantage over stock-styles.
