As a News and Advertising Medium it has ne competitor. iu ache imee ence naanaaie ee c7In order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR sho not be addressed to any individual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to he Edi 1 or Business Depart- Rts, according to tenor or purpone. oem Col. Elliot’s unqualified prediction of a water famine—made public in The Star yesterday—has attracted a great deal of attention, and will surely be considered in the conference on the District appropria- tion bill. In view of all the reports that have been made shewing the necessity for increase in this city’s water supply, and in view also of the fact that the Senate com- mittee on appropriaticns has been espe- efally active in looking after the welfare of the District, it is surprising that the House appropriation of $125,000, to be used for the purpose of raising the dam at Great Falls, should have been eliminated by the Senate committe2; supplanted by an ap- propriation with which to investigate as to the necessity for and the ultimate cost of the improvement for which Col. Elliot has argued with so much force. Should an Investigation be had—as the Senate com- mittee cn aporopriations seems to desire— it will of course be conducted by officers of the engineer corps of the army; Col. Elliot is cne of these, and has a more intimate acquaintance with the city’s necessity and the means by which it may be met than any other member of the corps. For more than four y2ars Col. Elliot has been urg- ing appropriation for the improvement which senatorial action may délay; more of Congressional procrastination can only make the situation worse, while all the in- vestigating that can be done would merely confirm the straightforward and unmistak- able conclusions announced by Col. Elliot, who says emphatically: “There is no need whatever of a survey. We know the facts. What we want is immediat action.” Even at this time—when the quantity of water vsed much less than in the sum- mer—there is serious shortage, especially on the higher levels; what that shortage will be like as the demands increase, with- out any addition: upply at the source, ean be imagined. “We are bound to have a water famine,” says Col. Elliot. “There is no escape from it. I simply want to an- ticipate the inevitable and shorten the or- deal if possible. The water famine ts al- ready upon us. It cai only increase, and it will continue to increase with an increasing ratio every summer and winter until the raising of the dam is completed.” Con- gress should have no difficulty in under- standing a statement made in such plain terms, nor should the Senate be slow in receding from the investigatory proposti- tion that can accomplish nothing more than to add years to the delay that must be suf- fered. Even were the work to begin in July next—it can only be done during the low-water season of the summer—it could not be completed until late in 1896; should the resolution to investigate go through there could not possibly be relief until 1897, and the probabilities are that a still later date would be more nearly correct. Col. Elliot showed very conclusively how weak is the objection raised as to the strength of the conduits. In the interview of yes- terday he quotes that famous engineer— Gen. Meigs—to strengthen his own logi- cally-unassailable pcsition. It should be borne in mind that Col. Elliot is not in- - dulging in theories as to this matter; he is eminently practical and knows what he is talking about. He is personally intimate with the aqueduct. To use his own laz- guage: “There is no part of it, inside or out that I don’t know. I have been through a considerable portion of it in a boat when I have lowered the water in it, and I have been up to my knees in the mud that is in the bottom when the water has been drawn out of it. I know all its weak _. and there ara weak points, but this mereased height of the dam will not try any of them. There ts absolutely no foun- dation for any fear that the proposed in- crease in the height of dam will injure the aqueduct.” So far as Col. Elliot is concerned there is complete absence of anything that resem- bles personal or selfish interest; he is care- ful and anxious only as to the public wel- fare. It seems improbable that after the showing he has made there will be any legislation favoring delay in the increase of this city’s water supply. If the Senate wishes to authorize a test of the abandoned aqueduct tunnel, in pursuance of Gen. Casey’s suggestion made several years ago, by all means let it do so; but this experi- ment with the tunnel should not be per- mitted to prevent or delay the raising of the dem. —— +e —___ A seasonable act by the House of Rep- resentatives would be the immediate pas- sage of the Senate bfll which provides pen- alties to be assessed against those who fail to remove Jnow and Ice from the side- walk in front vf their real estate, whether the real estate in question be improved or unimproved. As things now are, all those householders tho are not favored by the Police furnisa & clear footway for pedes- trians, while a few others and the owners of vacant lots use the money which should be expended in having the snow cleared off for other and more personally-comfort- ing purposes. The result is that after a snowfall there are many obstructive stretches of sidewalk—a nuisance to the passer-by and unfair to those who respect @ defective law. The bill does not call for an appropriation, so there ought not to be any delay in pushing it through. —_~+ e+__ Mr. Cleveland is justified tn reflecting with some bitterness over the way in which the congressional team stampeded at sugar and balked at currency. It is unfortunate that winter-racing should have been discontinued just before such ideal weather for the sport set in. ---____—_ ‘There is no doubt about the Dixie boom with the cotton nls and the sleigh-ride in- dustry both coming her way. abe The Long Bridge ts repeating its annual terrorizing engagement with distinguished success. —— Tile possibilities are unfortunately favor- able to the creation of conditions which may result in the flooding of a considerable portion of this city when the ice that now covers the Potomac begins to break up. Were the river unobstructed there would be no danger of serious overflow, no matter how strong the freshet might be, but with that menacing dam—the Long Bridge—in the way, all the chances favor great in- Jury to property along the river front. It is remarkable that a corporation which prides in places, on the expensively-modern cter of its equipment should be con- with such an ancient tent structure as the bridge over which the Pennsylvania Railroad makes connection with the south. There has never been dis- agreement among army engineers as to the unfitness and unreliability of that almost prehistoric relic to which the railroad com- pany clings so tenaciously. The bridge as ft was when the company secured posses- sion of it was not a menace—it was merely extremely unornamental—but the bridge as ft is—with pile-filled spans and with moun- tains of broken stone surrounding the pier and unsafe | feet—is a threat that causes a great deal of uneasiness in this community whenever any considerable quantity of ice forms-on the river's surface. That there will soon be a better state of affairs ts unlikely if the com- pany is permitted to work its sweet will. That there will be legislation of a sort even fairly satisfactory to this city is by no means a present probability. Relief will not come speedily unless the swollen Poto- mac directs its might against the ugly ob- structicn of which so much complaint has been made and sweeps its weather-black- ened timbers into the ocean. Of course there would be something of inconvenience consequent upon such destruction, but the inconvenience would hardly result in the shedding of tears. Washington could view the gap with a great deal of complacency and would see to it that the bridge’s suc- cessor should be in every respect an im- provement upon the one that is now caus- ing so much of genuine concern. —<——_—_—__— Heretofore the House committee on ven- tilation and acoustics has been regarded as a mild congressional joke, perpetrated for the pucpose of providing a friend of the speaker with a chairmanship and a com- mittee room, but it now appears that the organization at which so much fun has been poked is really engaged in doing something. Already has the committee dis- covered that in the basements of the capi- tol hundreds of tons of public documents ere rotting and filling the air with impuri- ties that sooner cr later find their way into those portions of the building used for legislative purposes. The sergeant-at-arms of the Senate is said to have told the com- mittee that in some portions of the Senate basement decaying papers were four feet deep and that the boards beneath them had rotted; from these emanated odors so strong that employes could not remain in the rooms for more than a few minutes at a time without experiencing great dis- comfort. Of cou! there will be a great to-do at both ends of the capitol when the committee makes its report, and it is one of the easiest of probabilities that a large appropriation will be made for the pur- pose of doing anything and everything to purify the atmosphere: of both houses. Such an appropriation will be perfectly proger, but while Senators and Represen- tatives are doing so much for themselves they should not forget the thousands of other government employes who labor un- der conditions far worse in a sanitary sense and incomparably more dangerous to life and limb than are the conditions at the Capitol. Why would it not be a good thing to hurry up that Government Print- ing Office building? —_- + +e — Recorder Goff is being pestered not only about his relationship to the pay-roll but about the amount of work he does for his meney. It would be rather pathetic to see an official stung by the reform germ which he had nursed in his bosom. ———e—— Liliuokalani need not fear utter obscurity.

We can’t get a Lexow investigation bill through the Illinois assembly, but a bill prohibiting high hats at the theater has been given a very flattering reception.
