It is a bad state of things which permits such an exhibition of cruelty and inhu- Mmanity as that shown yesterday in the treatment ef the colored woman who went from hospital to hospital in this city seck- ing for treatment for a little sufferer from diphtheria. A long time ago Congress made an appropriation to buy a site for a hospital for the treatment of minor con- tagious diseases such as diphtheria and searlet fever. The efforts of the Commis- sioners to purchase an appropriate tract of ground were defeated in several instances by local opposition on the part of residents in the vicinity of the site selected. Final- ly, through private negotiations, the Com- missioners bought a site in the suburban section north of Florida avenue and east of fourteenth street, known as Pleasant Plains. When the fact of this purchase became known a strong public agitation followed, and as a consequence there was ineerted in the District bill this provision: “That hereafter no other building for use as a public or private hospital for con- tagious diseases shall be erected in the Dis- trict of Columbia within three hundred feet of any building owned by a private in- dividual or any other party than the one erecting the building.” This effectually pre- vents the District Commissioners from utilizing the fund given them by the char- ity organization known as the Daisy Chain Guild, for the erection of such a building, for the lot bought is far too small to per- mit the hospital to be isolated three hun- dred feet from any private structure. The money available for a site has all been spent and there is now no means to secure another appropriation until the next ses- sion of Congress. There is an appropria- tion of $18,000 for the erection of a small- pox hospital, to be used for nothing else, on the reservation now occupied by the jail. This leaves the District absolutely without any means of taking care of pub- Nec patients afflicted with diphtheria or similar contagious diseases to which chil- dren are subject. It is doubtful if any rule of charity or humanity will excuse the ac- tion of the hospital authorities in sending the woman back into the streets, there Perhaps to spread infection, with the cer- tain knowledge that the child would die in her arms if medical attendance were not Promptly secured. It 1s possible that sume effective step might be taken by the au- thorities for the designation of at least one of the several institutions that now receive aid from the government as a hospital for the care of patients suffering from these diseases. Instances like that of yesterday are becoming far too common in a city.that boasts of civilization and that occupies the high rank among communities that Wash- ington does today. —_——__+++—____ ‘The President has now returned from his recent pleasure trip well refreshed, it is said, by his escape from ofilcial cares. It is to be presumed that, with Congress off his hands and with the Tresaury in com- paratively fair condition, he will have an opportunity and perhaps the inclination to attend to certain matters that have been accumulating for many months past. To be sure the most important items on his table at present are the various forelgn complications that have arisen within the past few days, which, although Secretary Gresham has acted in each of them, will undoubtedly be laid before the Chief Exec- utive for his personal consideration. But there is no reason why the President should not take a very early day to open the case of Recorder Taylor, which is as vitally interesting to the people of the District and probably to many respectable citizens out- side as almost any of the problems that await adjustment. In a certain sense it is the easiest of solution. Proved charges have been made against this official by the Civil Service Commission, charges of mis- conduct in office and of violation of the law. Since the President went away and, of course, since these charges were filed, the recorder’s testimony and the uncontra- dicted evidence of others in the Chase libel case have even more thoroughly exposed the recorder’s theories of conducting the office to which he has been appointed, an office which he evidently regards as having been conferred upon him solely for his per- soral profit and individual comfort. The President does not so regard a public of- fice. In no less than sixty-one instances between October, 18§1, and March * 1892, Grover Cleveland is reported in favor and in expansion of the excellent doctrine: “A Public office is a public trust!” In his speech before the city convention at Buf- falo October 25, 1881, when he accepted the nomination of mayor, Mr. Cleveland said: “When we consider that public offi- clals are the trustees of the people and hold their places and exercise their powers for the benefit of the people, there should be no higher inducement to a faithful and henest discharge of public duty.’ —____+¢ = —-—__ Three years and twenty-six days have now passed since the post office building was begun. There were one bundred and ten men employed on the structure today, and they are gradually changing the out- Ine of the building. There has yet been, however, no reasonable doubt cast on the original estimate that the post office will not be finished before August 17, 1906. —_—__~ +e _____ It is understood, though no official state- ment to that effect has yet been promul- gated through Secretary Tindall, that the Commissioners begin their daily star-cham- ber exercises by singing with suitable finger-to-lip accompaniment the conspira- tors’ chorus from “La Fille de Madame Angot.” —___+ ¢+_____ A presidential campaign on an alliterative platform should, in the light of history, have terrors even for Sibley. —___ e+ _____- The managers of charity organizations in New York have about decided to inaugu- rate an experiment during the coming sea- gon similar to the potato patch scheme of Mayor Pingree in Detroit. The Michigan mayor, it will be remembered, concluded that something should be done with the vacant land in and around the city for the relief of the suffering poor. and he inaugu- rated the celebrated potato patch plan whereby in one season 7,000 lots of ground aggregating 430 acres were placed under oultivation and yielded potatoes to the value of $14,000. The scheme was to allot a small section of ground to each of a mumber of poor families and to provide them with potato seed and tools for their eultivation. It was thought that a great deal of suffering was averted by means of the food thus obtained at a very slight ¢ost. The ground was all donated by char- {table persons, and about the only expense was that for the purchase of seeds and tools. The latter, being the property of the city, can be used season after season. It is estimated that there are upwards of one thousand acres of vacant ground in New York, contained in 17,329 lots, and there are many hundreds of acres in the suburban regions that are easily obtain- able. Already donations of 1200 acres in the outlying districts have been made, and the scheme promises to be a success. This is a practical charity and a move toward the inculcation of the principles of self- help into the minds of the poor who look annually to the city authorities or to pri- vate purses for aid. The yearly experience of Washington is such that it would surely seem as though here is an excellent field for the tillage of charity potatoes. There is a great quantity of vacant grourid here, probably more in proportion than in any other clty of the country. There is no Jack of talent to direct such an enterprise, and it is known that those interested in charitable matters are seeking for a new solution of the problem of feeding the poor during the period of business depres- sion lasting from December until March. The results in Detroit during the experi- mental year show that a great deal of re- Hef @an be‘ obtained at a comparatively small cost, and, above all, the people are taught an excellent lesson. : —___+-—____ Two electric light wires broke in Balti- more recently end played considerable havoc for a time. In one case two chil- dren were so severely shocked that they were in a critical condition for some hours. In ‘the other case a horse was knocked down. The former case resulted from the burning out of an arc wire that crossed the line of another company carrying a current of 2,750 volts. The two wires sag- ged to make contact with an awning frame, which became charged with elec- tricity. The wires had no right in the air with their tremendous voltage. In the New York prisons murderers are killed by the application of 1,500 voits. It is a miracle that both children and the horse were not instantly killed in Baltimore, and the fact that they were not does not aid the cause of the overhead wires one jot. The wires should have been underground, where they naturally belong, and not strung in the air over metal awn- ing frames and in the vicinity of other wires. Bury the wires without further de- lay. —_—_+ + _____ There is nothing like making hay while the sun shines; like plucking the bloom of pleasure before it withers on the stem of time.

From Good Government. The shameful airing of personal recrim- inations and scandal in the court where Recorder Taylor has just convicted a rival hegro politician of criminal libel, has filled column after column of the Washington daily newspapers at the very busiest sea- son of the year, the closing of the session of Congress. This is a fair measure of the importance in which the trial is held by the community upon which the Presi- dent has saddled Taylor in defiance of its indignant protests. No matter what verdict the jury might have rendered, the effect of the libel trial upon the public mind was bound to be the same, in confirming the universal wonder that a President pledged to the reform of the civil service could have appointed such ® politician as Taylor to an office of re- sponsibility and importance, and kept him in his place in spite of all that was known about him. This of itself is enough to put a lasting reproach upon the administra- tion, There was no need of waiting for the record of the court proceedings to jus- tify the recorder’s removal. The civil ser- vice commission, months ago, laid before Mr. Cleveland a carefully prepared report which showed Taylor to be wholly unfit to continue in office. 3 1411 F atiunest to teach P.O.) 1 @ «85 92 B | Hand-made | S-=H-O-E-S. 9 oe nee 5.8 Who thought they wees Lone or QOULD ‘wear Shoes that cost 80 LIT $2.85 are = wearing these No Fancy Rent No Middle Profit— Explains why HIGH-GRADB SHOES aro being sold by us at the price ot “cheap” ones elsewhe: Boys’ SHOES mad paar TRE where, TAT CHILDREN'S SHOES, of best t, kid, S5c., ‘$1.10 and upwa 4.9 Shoe Bu r t’s Store, Arthur Burt,1411 FSt. NEXT TO BRANCH POST OFFICE. 1t_C Open Saturdays until_9_ parm.
