THE EVENING STAR, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY. 19, 1895—TWELVE PAGES. 6 THE EVENING STAR. |p ctsa'tre amo mage to appeer at ; WASHINGTON. TUESDAY............February 19, 1895. CROSBY S. NOYES. ++++-Editor. THE 5 EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation much more than the combined circulation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. t7Im order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any vidual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to te or purpore. Knowing how deeply Interested the peo- ple of the District of Columbia are in the water supply which dally becomes less adequate, and satisfied that Congress needs fn such a matter but little prodding to do {ts duty, The Star proposes that the se- riously-concerned residents of the District— Including members of Congress—shall petl- tion the national legislature to retain In the District of Columbfa appropriation bill the provision which will, if ft becomes law, result In the ratsing of the dam at Great Falls and considerable increase in the city's water supply. For some time ast there has been so little of water pres- sure t in some portions of the city there has heen absence of the necessary fluld on all floors above the first. The city grows steadily and unless the water sup- ply Increases at lea: rapidly it will not be long before there will be shortage even on the ground floors of houses on the higher levels within the city limits. Col. H. Elliot, the engineer officer in of the Washington Aqueduct, says: are bound to have a water famine. There is no escape from It. I stmply want George to anticipate the inevitable and shorten the 1 tf possible. The water famine is already upon us. It can only Increase, and !t will continve to increase with an in- ere g ratio every summer and winter until the raising of the dam is completed.” This statement and a vast quantity of more technically-shaped information was before both the House and Senate com- mittees on appropriations. The House committee and the House decided that the proper thing to do would be to appropriate the sum of $125,000 with which to raise the dam to the necessary height. The Senate committee and the Senate concluded that further investigation ought to be had, and striking out the $125,000 item put in its place provision for a $10,000 Investigation, which, by the way, could not possibly add one drop to the water furnished nor a mate- rial fact to the information already dis- played before the public gaze by the en- gineer officers who have studied our water supply. Under the most favorable circum- stances water consumers would not receive any benefit from the dam-raising operation until the latter part of next year; set an Investigation going and there must be at least another year of delay and conse- quent suffering without any compensating advantage. With this extremely grave sit- uation facing this community, a corre- spondent, who feels assured that agitation has in it great possibilities for good, sug- gested to The Star the printing of a peti- tion blank and the forwarding of the filled coupons to Congress. The idea assumes shape today, and before noon tomorrow there should be in The Star office many thousands of responses. It is essential that the work be done speedily, for the con- ference committee is expected to reach a decision as to this most important matter before the close of the present week. Citi- zens who are continually annoyed by the Imexcusable water shortage should see to it with all haste that their own petitions and those of their neighbors are turned in at the earliest possible moment; citizens who have not as yet been brought into per- soual contact with the lack of the most essential of liquids should sympathize prac- tically with their less fortunate fellow- beings and should bear in mind that unless there is immediate application of the rem- edy for which The Star now makes de- mand, they, too, wiil soon suffer and be compelled to complain. The petition cou- pon will be found upon the second page of ‘The Star at least today and tomorrow. There ought not to be an uncut copy of The Star in Washington tonight. _— oe It is an interesting fact that ex-Governor Pattison of Pennsylvania, who today is a candidate for mayoralty honors in Phila- delphia, will not be able to vote either for himself cr for any one else at the election in which he must necessarily be so deeply concerned. There is provision of law us to the length of residence in Philadelphia necessary to suffrage qualification and this provision the ex-governor~is unable to comply with. There is something paradox- ical in the legal condition which permits a man to be a candidate for office in a com- munity where he at the same time Is for- bidden the common privilege of the fran- chise. ——— + +e____ There were seventy-four. men employed upon the new city post-office building to- day. There is cause for gratification in the gradual growth of the force, but the in- crease is so slow that to hope for comple- tion of the structure at any time prior to August 17, 1996, is to display a more than ordinarily sanguine disposition. Since the date of construction was commenced, two years, eleven months and twenty-seven days have been lost forever, yet the frame- work of the third story is still composed largely of gaps. ——+ee- Mr. John R. McLean may. have allowed himself to be overbid for a box at the opera, but no one has come within sight of him as a contributor for the relief of the peor. His noble gift of $5,000 for the poor of Washington stands away ahead on the list, as the contribution of a single indi- vidual. —- see —___ Elsewhere In The Star the vice president of the Federation of Labor suggests that in imputing a certain policy to some of the local labor leaders The Star has put the la- boring people In a false attitude. The Star shows conclusively In a note appended to this communication, that if any one has put thd local workingmen In a false atti- tude, !t Is Master Workman Simmons, who declared that “last year the labor organt- zations petitioned Congress to let the Dis- trict have $800,000 of Its own surplus reve- nues for sewers, even if tt was not dupll- cated from the Treasury.” One of the greatest drawbacks to the effectiveness of organizations for the promotion of the in- terests of the workingmen is the fre- quency with which the idiosyncrasies of individual leaders put the wage-earners In @ false attitude. In Washington, as in other cities, the workingmen are reason- ably desirous of conditions which shall as- sure them ample work; which shall im- prove the healthfulness of their homes and * prolong the lives of themselves and fami- les, and which shall increase their pay and decrease their hours of labor in order that through an accumulation of money and leisure time the opportunity may be had of full intellectual and mora! development. From its birth The Star has fought the dattles of the people of the District for material, mental aud moral betterment. Every proposition that promised to promote the welfare of the local workingmen has been upheld by it, and many have been originated by it, and made effective through {ts vigorous championship. Today the local labor organizations are, through the acts and words of some of their lead- 973. apparently placed tn an attitude of indifference to the maintenance of the 50 advocates of the single-tax, thus arraying themselves against overwhelming public sentiment and The Star, and weakening their credit and the effectiveness of their labors when they come to struggle for some specific measure which directly pro- motes their material interests. The recent reasoning against interest-bearing bonds and the credit system, uttered in the name of the local labor organizations, would, if carried to its logical results, overturn the practice of the fmancial world. Theorists in the field of political economy, so-called advanced thinkers fn social science, and the whole brood of socialists, anarchists and cranks, may, without damage, deliver themselves of their ideas, if there is public recognition of the fact that they speak as individuals and only for themselves. But if, representing the workingman in scme official capacity, they circulate these cpinions in his name they do him an injury and they do him an injustice. For the wage-earner of the District does not sepa- rate himself from other citizens and invite or express indifference concerning Uncle Sam’s repudiation of national obligations to the capital—a repudiation which would be fully as disastrous to him as to any- body else. He ts not a single-taxer and he does not request Congress to make of the capital an apothecaries’ cat upon which each dubious experiment in political econ- omy may be conducted, by legislators who would not dare to propose the dose to their heme constituencies. He is not anxious to abolish credit and interest-bearing obliga- tiens and revolutionize the entire financial system. It may be that he belongs to a building association, and in that or some other way has wisely borrowed money to build his home; in which case he would not care to stultify himself by a general as- satlt on the principle of interest-bearing obligations. He is not anxious to pose as @ statesman, a world’s reformer, a thinker with a theory on the financial question, a socialist or anarchist, if that posing will injure in any way his material interests as @ taxpayer, a citizen, and the head and supporter of a family. It might be well for the workingmen to look to their leaders, and to see that the wage-earners suffer no discredit and injury from the vagaries of theorists uttered in the name of labor. —_+ «+ ___ A few trustful Washingtonians seem to be really surprised because the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad Company has not come to the assistance of the District au- thorities in the work of smashing the ice in the river, and of thus reducing the prob- abilities of the damage-working flood which is now threatened. It is possible, of course, that the Commissioners imagined that the cempany would make a favorable reply to the request sent ft, but the chances are that they, knowing well the corporation with which they have to deal, sent the in- vitation to co-operate merely for politeness sake. It is true that but for the obstruc- tions offered by the Long bridge there would be no necessity fcr the expensive ice-smashing which has to be done much too frequently, but such a minor considera- tion as that could not be expected to move the company to the expenditure of any of the company’s money. —_——_~ e=+—___ ‘The fact that years of work have been put on Washington's new post-office does not prevent an entirely reasonable expec- tation that Chicago will get her’s done several decades ahead of us. —_—__+ + —_____ Benjamin Harrison keeps closely in touch with current events.
