6 THE EVENING STAR, TUESDAY, MARCH 26, 1895-TWELVE PAGES. = THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. ‘TUESDAY.............. .-March 26, 1895. CROSBY s. ——— THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent cfrculntion much more than the combimed circulation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium {st has no competitor. seeeee. Editor. (Im order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any individual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the EditorinI or Business Depart- ments, as to tenor oF purpose. ‘The retirement of Col. Elliot of the corps of engineers of the army from active ser- vice on Sunday next will of course relieve kim from the charge of the Washington Aqueduct which he has managed for some years with great skill and to the perfect satisfaction of the citizens of Washington. He will not, however, entirely relinquish his work ‘n connection with the water supply of this city as he ts by law retained in charge of the rehabilitation of the Dalecar- la receiving reservoir which is in itself a work of great tmportance. This was in- deed one of Col. Elliot’s own projects and it is eminently proper that he should com- plete it. Col. Elliot fs a student of the water supply problem whose opinion on every subject in that connection is of the greatest value. His recommendatiogs to the chief of engineers which have found their way to Congress have always been highly regarded and have generally been adopted. It was he who called attenion during the past winter in a most convincing way to the folly of further temporizing expedients in legislation in the matter of raising the dam at Great Falls and the people of the District owe him great gratitude for his prompt and fearless utterances on that sub- ject. Maj. Knight who succeeds him in charge of the executive management of the aqueduct is a thoroughly competent man, according to his superior officers as well as to the opinion which Washington had al- ready formed of him through previous ac- quvaintance with him and his work. —————— The suggestion that the famous Detroit potato-patch charity plan might be put into effective operation in the District of Columbia that was contained in these col umns a few days ago fs apparently finding favor among students of science of alms- giving in this city, as will be attested by an interview published in The Star today with Mr. Henry A. Robinson, chief of the division of statistics of the Agricultural Department, who, explaining the great suc- cess of the plan in Detroit, of which city he fs a resident, argued in favor of the es- tablishment of these small garden farms for the poor in this city. One of the most favorable features of the scheme, as Mr. Robinson says, is the fact that recipients of this aid do not consider that they re- ceive charity, but that what they get in this way is the result of their own efforts. ‘Washington certainly neéds some good plan of operation against want and hunger in the winter months of distress. There is, of course, sufficient spare capital In any city of this size to care for all the unfortunates if they are to be treated in the old-fash- foned way of alms-giving; what is more needed, however, than money to be given directly to the poor is capital and enter- prise to establish some such scheme as that which has been tried in Detroit with suc- cess whereby the people may themselves be Made the agents of their own aid and com- fort. The suggestion is of sufficient value to be censidered seriously by those either officially or voluntarily in charge of the public charities. nd A suggestion for the inventor of new ways to kill men in time of war is con- tained in a late dispatch from Cuba relat- ing to the progress of the revolution in that country. It now appears that the in- surgents, remembering the experience of former armies sent from Spain to put down revolts in other days, are relying upon the yellow fever, which is peculiarly prevalent and fatal in Cuba, to thin the ranks of the royal troops and so to increase their chances of success. It would be quite in Tine with the advance of modern science for some one to devise a new bacteriologi- cal cannon, a sort of microbic mitrailleuse, to seatter germs of disease among the en- emy instead of balls of lead or steel. It will be remembered in this connection that M. Pasteur has already proposed to in- noculate the rabbits of Australia. with the seeds of a fatal disease, and so to cause the pests themselves to solve the problem of ridding the country of the greatest nuis- ance it has ever endured. The same prin- ciple, it seems, would apply to human warfare, and, being one more step toward the perfection of means of destruction, would probably hasten the day when war will be practically unknown among nations. ++ «2 - The cable cars of the Columbia railrcad are now being stopped at the “near” cor- ner of the street, that is to say, at the first crossing reached. This is a rule that is somewhat new but which is being put in force in some northern cities as being much safer than the old rule of stopping at the “far” corner, or when the car has crossed the street. The new rule is based on excel- lent reasoning and might well be adupted at once by all the other cable and electric lines in the city. The car that stops at the Tear corner can never cross a street at full speed. ‘The dangers of collision with pe- destrians and vehicles are greater at cross- ings than at other places, and therefore the chances of casualties are reduced as the cars are slowed at such points. Tho car that stops at the far crossing runs at nearly full speed to within a few feet of the point of complete rest, or after the real danger has been passed. A uniform prac- tice in respect to points of stoppage should be adopted by every rapid transit line in the District, so that citizens may under- stand just what to expect at every cross- ing, and may not be confused by different rules in different localities. we ee The man who attempted to assassinate Li Hung Chang pleads insanity. This shows that he ts not in touch with the up- to-date spirit which characterizes Japan. If he were he would have pleaded hypno- tism. —_ e+ _____ One hundred and six men were today at work on the post office building, a smaller force than for some time. This is the third day of the second month of the fourth year of the construction. ——__+ eo -____ Minneapolis is not at all surprised that the St. Paul showed herself a little behind time in gettiag launched. — +e 2 Remarkable indeed ts the rumor which has it that Secretary Gresnam is consider- ing the advisability of deporting Minister Thurston against the iatter's will on the ground, which has often been maintaimed, that this government has the right to ex- clude obnoxious aliens or foreigners whose presence i's deemed a source of danger. ‘The statement is made with surprising con- fidence that this policy would justify Mr. Gresham in having Mr. Thurston escoried beyond the boundaries, because Mr. Thurs- ton, In his capacity as an advocate of an- nexation, could be regarded as obnoxious and dangerous. This is the second time that the law of the land has been quoted by those who are anxious to make a strong showing in excuse for Mr. Gresham's strange proceeding in this case. Attention has already been called in The Star to one of these nonsensical efforts in which a statute was gravely quoted which had no earthly bearing on the case. Now comes this childish attempt to make it appear that Mr. Thurston is properly subject to the above-quoted power of the nation. The government has, without doubt, the abso-. lute right to exclude from its borders a dangerous alien when tn times of internal or international troubles such an individual may be detected in the act of furnishing information to the common enemy or in- citing a rebellious spirit. Mr. Thurston, however, is doing quite the contrary. Ry his demeanor and behavior while in this country he has done moze to argue for an- nexation with Hawaii than volumes cf literature could have done. It is yet to be demonstrated that the suggestion of an- nexation with Hawaii is seditious er dan- gerous. Should Mr. Thurston be deported on this ground the next logical step would be to imprison as for a high crime a large proportion of the legislative branch of the American government and of the people themselves. ——_~+- _. Mr. Gladstone and his friends need not be at all chagrified over the vengeful ef- forts of the Sublime Porte to clear all Turkey and Armenia of the portraits of the “grand old man” of England. The Sul- tan seems to have a special antipathy to- ward Mr. Gladstone now that Turkey is being pressed into a corner by the civilized Powers on account of the terrible outrages perpetrated in Armenia. It was Mr. Glad- stone who first sounded the cry of resent- ment in England when the atrocities be- came known, and to this fact is doubtless due the recent order that all portraits of the ex-premier shall be confiscated as “se- ditious literature.” No higher compliment could possibly be paid to Mr. Gladstone and all that he represents than by this characterization. To be “‘seditious” in the eyes of the Sublime Porte is to be honored by all the rest of the world, as the case stands at present. ——_++-____ While the extension of our street-car transfer system is under discussion, might it not be a good thing for the Washington and Georgetown and Columbia Companies te arrange for transfers that would give single fare trips from Mount Pleasant to the northeastern portion of the city? West- ern travel and the downtown rush from the northeast have long been cared for by a free transfer agreement between the Co- lumbia and Metropolitan, but as things now are the residents of Fourteenth street extended can only ride to the Government Printing Office and points east by paying two fares. A getting-together of the Wash- ington and Georgetown and Columbia Com- panies would surely be appreciated by very many Washingtonians. ——_—_ + = ____ The news columns of Saturday’s Star contained the following brief but interest- ing paragraph: “The female employes of the recorder’s office presented Recorder Taylor today with a floral testimonial.” Attention has already been called in these columns to a similar violation of the law on @ previous oceasion, but for some tea- son or other no attention has been paid to the offense by the prosecuting officers of the District or by the appointing powers. The intrinsic value of the present given the recorder on Saturday is probably in- significant, but the spirit of violation of the law of the land prevails nevertheless. ——~+e2—___ The popular intellect has been thrown into a state of violent agitation from which it can be wrested only by prompt information as to what Mayor King of Atlanta meant by calling Councilman Con- nolly a “striped underling.” ‘Underling”’ is plain enough, but why “striped.” —__ +e = _ The fickleness of fame is pathetically illustrated by the fact that the man who was a few months ago known the country over as Congressman Tim Campbell is now figuring in the newspapers as Timothy J. Campbell. —___ ++ ++ ____ ‘The administration should not lose sight of the fact that the departure of Minister Thurston would not mean the deportation of the annexation sentiment in this eoun- try by a good deal. —___+ +. ____- It is feared that Li Hung Chang’s im- portant remarks at the Japanese court will be largely confined to suggestions as to what date will be mest convenient for pay day. 2 ‘The most liberal minded admit that the “bronze statues” presented in New York theaters are not protected even by the mantle of charity. ———+2e2___ John L.

Elifot’s Retirement. From the Army and Navy Journal, March 23. Another army retirement next week will be that on March 31 of Colonel George Henry Elliot, corps of engineers, after a distinguished service dating from July, 1855, when he was graduated from the Military Academy, fourth in his class, and Promoted to the artillery. After a fair share of frontier duty he was transferred to the corps of engineers in 1857. During the war he rendered important professional service at various strategic points of the country, and was brevetted major in 1965. Since the war his services have been of a very high order, performed with credit to the army, to the country and to himself. In 1893 he attained the grade of colonel To the good wishes of his many friends for is future health and happiness we beg to add our own tribute to his worth as an officer and a gentleman, KING'S PALACE.| Woodward -.
