THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON ‘WEDNESDAY.. veeees May 1, 1893. CROSBY S. NOYES................Editor. ~HE 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. In 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 sinrply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- See according to tenor or purpose. With the ae of warm weather comes increase of interest in the collection of garbage, and as the District appropria- tion bill which becomes operative July 1 provides a largely increased appropriation for what can hardly fail to be a better sys- tem than any this city has ever known, Se popular interest is now much greater than at any time in the past. Unfortu- nately, however, the District .Commission- ers—or a majority of them—have agreed upon a policy of personal silence and of contempt for popular opinion and advice, so while the work of making the most im- portant changes in the method of collect- ing and disposing of garbage is going on the details are denied those who are en- titled to all of the information. Of the failures in municipal matters affecting very materially the public interest there have been few more conspicuous cases than those connected with the garbage problem. Faulty contracts have been common—in fact, there has been none for several years that when tested has seemed to be binding save on the District government—yet, in spite of expensive and embarrassing ex- perience, the Commissioners—or a majority of them—insist upon taking into their con- fidence only those who expect to profit by the new plan. As to the new arrangements that must soon be made, there has up to this time been too much of mystery, too many communings behind closed doors with those whose interest is only financial and whose observance of the present contract has been fitful and altogether unsatis- factory. Only by widespread publication at every step concerning the views and plans of the Commissioners can there be general understanding of the garbage situ- ation as it is and as it ought to be in the District of Columbia, yet the Commission- ers—or a majority of them—have deliber- ately elected to conduct the public business as though it was a purely personal affair. ‘Through the recent appropriation by Con- gress a sum has been provided from the municipal funds entirely adequate to carry into effect the very best of the modern methods of garbage disposal. Full and timely publicity in respect to the need of the District, and the purposes and plans of the District government will attract the attention of the whole country, including the managers of garbage disposal systems, to the local problem. Suppression of the facts tends to threw everything into the hands of the present unsatisfactory con- tractors. The public interest requires the fullest competition among the garbage re- duction and incineration systems of the re- Public. The reduction method is the cheap- est because the treatment gives to the garbage a considerable market value. In- deed, a well-managed reduction plant can almost afford to collect the refuse, its raw material, for nothing; being compensated by the sale of its manufactured product. This method is also most effective in thor- oughly cleaning the city. When every ad- ditional pound of garbage collected means increased profit to the contractor, he will neglect no back-yards or alleys. Under our present system the less garbage the con- tractor collects the greater his ease and profit. The other modern system of garbage disposal is by destruction through incin- eration. This method, which develops noth- ing of value from the refuse, is more ex- pensive than the reduction process, but is otherwise equally satisfactory, if compen- “sation is based on the amount of garbage cremated, thus assuring a thorough col- lection. Such full use and such timely use should have been made by the Com- missioners of the newspapers that at the earliest possible moment, long before the advertising for proposals, the managers of every existing modern system of garbage disposal would have been engaged in pre- paring for eager competition for the honor and profit of installing the model system at the capital of the United States. There is as great need of a _ radical change in methods of contracting as .in systems of garbage disposal. Past experi- ence susgests that a contract to collect and dispose of the city’s garbage for a term of years at a fixed orice has been construed as an agreement to do so only as long as the contractors found it profit- able or as long as their existing plant re- mained unburned or their scows unsunk or their horses in good condition, or to do so in such a manner with such neglects and defects as would enable the contractor to make money. The capital wants the best of the modern garbage systems, responsible contractors and bondsmen, and a contract that will hold water, and it is entitled to know, and it is to the public interest to have known, every step of the Commis- sioners in the direction of meeting these wants. > —_—__+- e+ _____. There can be nothing but praise for the excise board of Alexandria county, for yes- terday that official body decided to ma- terlally reduce the number of saloons at Jackson City, Rosslyn and, thereabouts. But it is by no means certain that this refusal to grant licenses will work any real reform, for unless the county officers do their duty—which of late they have not done—the unlicensed dealers in intoxicants will continue in business without interrup- tion and probably with greater profit to themselves than will be achieved by those who have apparently been favored by the board. Unless the sheriff supports the ex- cise board the reduction of the number of licens will result merely in additional lawlessness in our disreputable suburb. — + The principal compromise in the Corinto episode will be that suffered by this coun- try’s reputation, a Japan has laid off her fighting clothes for the time being, but is keeping them in easy reach. — + e+ Paragraph is found today atches from Managua, Ni uropeans here are endeavoring ate prejudice against the United States, advancing as an argument that she Is indifferent to Nicaragua's subjuga- tion and to the Monroe doctrine.” The falsity of these pretensions, which are of course in’ the disputed territory, is apparent to every citizen of the United States who is able to read. In the light of the talk given to The Star yesterday by Senator Morgan, this claim is amusing, even though it may be tending to undermine the prestige of this country at the isthmus. Senator Mor- gan spoke with the inspiration of one who is an American from top to toe, one who truly represents the pride of country that is strongly suspected to be characteristic of a large number of American citizens. He has a ‘thorough knowledge of the British character, and complete sympathy with the sentiment of Americans. There is every reason to believe that Senator Morgan thoroughly knows the temper of his own people, and that he ts a good type of the great majority of those people. Therefore his utterances on the subject of The follow THE EVENING STAR, WEDNESDAY, MAY 1, 1895-TWELVE. PAGES. British aggression ought to go very far towards counteracting the influence of the innuendos of the British residénts in Managua, who, doubtless, are talking under some sort of official or semi-official inspira- tion. While Senator Morgan carefully re- frained, in the absence of definite informa- tion, from criticisms of the administration, there is every reason to believe that his faith in its strict adherence to the true American policy is not altogether well founded. There are numerous indications of a deferential, even subservient attitude toward Great Britain in the matter, though the secrecy which has been observed pre- vents full knowledge on the subject, and permits lony inferences. While these sus- Picions are percolating through the public mind such utterances as those of the chair- man of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations have a wholesome influence in rousing the people to a realizing sense of the gravity of the situation that is slowly but surely developing with reference-to the relations between Great Britain and the United States. —_ + «+ —____ Testimony by experts who have examined the counterfeit stanmps that have caused the Post-office Department so much con- cern is to the effect that the stamps are unexceptionable in quality, and that the, mucilage feature of the clever imitations is decidedly superior to the government compound. This administration is not given to acting upon the advice of outsiders, no matter how good that advice may be, but it may properly be suggested that the gov- ernment could do worse than employ the captured counterfeiters as makers of official stamps. To this plan there might come ob- jection from those stamp-makers who ere not criminally inclined, but the number of counterfeiters in jail is so small that noth- ing like serious rivalry could be possible. Under ordinary circumstances, the convicts will perforce become tailors, or shirt- makers, or hatters, or shoemakers.. How much better it would be to give their stamp-making talent full swing. Some im- provement might thereby be effected through contrast and suggestion in the quality of the stamps manufactured by honest men. —___+ ++ —____ The interview with Senator Morgan which appeared in The Star yesterday was of sur- passing interest. It was the kind of inter- view which is certain of extensive repro- duction and wide circulation. Last even- ing it went over the wires to all points of the compass, and today it has been, or will be, before the eyes and in the minds of millions of people who will appreciate the patriotic common sense that abounds in it. But the name of the paper in which the interview originally appeared will not be apparent to all of those readers; a defect for which those correspondents who scis- sored the interview are undoubtedly re- sponsible. The Star is pleased to be the main source of information for Washing- ton correspondents all the year around, but it can hardly do otherwise than grieve over the lack of fairress and honesty which has prevented it from receiving suit- able credit for this exclusive and important interview. —___+ «+____ Secretary Hoke Smith classifies the people of the country as gold monometallists, sil- ver monometallists and bimetallists.

A Fear. An isthmus is a neck of land, Geographers declare; America, we understand, Will, likely, get it there.

They had been sitting in silence for two minutes, each of which seemed like an age. ‘The clock chimed 11, and she suppressed a yawn. “Ar2 you interested in base ball, Stalate?” she asked, wearily. “Yes.

All nature a-tremor with sunshine and song Appeared in her fairest array; Warm-hearted and genial, she joined with the throng To welcome the Queen of the May. But her garlands she doffs for a water- preof wrap, And she prudently hoists her umbrell. With overshoes, too, she provides ‘gainst mishap, As she wades through the mud in the dell.

Wash. Cor. Balt. Sup. The experience of every public printer is that the efficiency of the establishment would be much increased if its employes were appointed for merit and capacity in- stead of personal and political influence. It is said that some members of Congress have as many as from one to two hundred appointments in the printing office. This affords a very convenient and pleasant manner of paying off personal and political debts, but it is certainly not for the benefit of the government. When the government printing office and every other branch of the public service are under civil service rules it will be a blessing for all concerned, for then the capable and the deserving will have equal chances, and every one can as- certain by proper Inquiry exactly what the chances are for appointment, Page eee G AND ELEVENTH STREETS.

In their silly chase after low priced Children’s Cloth= ing many parents have made the big mistake of letting price instead of qual= ity lead them on. Our cheapest Child’s Suit is $2.50. That’s the lowest possible price for reliability —and where that stops we stop. Wecan sell cheaper ones, but we’ve too much at stake to handle rubbish. We started out this season with the avowed intention of building up a bigger children’s business. Toac- complish it we are willing to sacrifice this season’s entire profits—consequent- ly have marked every arti- cle at just enough above cost to cover the expense of selling. So far we have nothing to complain of. The immense business we have already done is very gratify ing—because it proves that there are still many people who recognize merit—and encourage hon= est and straightforward storekeeping.
