Editor. & - = TRE 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. t7In order to aveid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any individual connected with the office, bui simply to THE STAR, er to the Editorial or Business ments, according to tenor or purpose. The cruel and unusual starvation which has be: many years upon uncenyict rrisoners has been partly abrogated, and they now receive a little food with which to allay the pangs of hunger while trial cf cases is being awaited. Speaking of this long-delayed reform—the al 2 of which has been extremely discreditable to the city—Assistant Dtstrict Attorney Pugh adds his protest to the other protests that have been made against the conditions which accompany confinement in the Police Court cells. Mr. Pugh does not hesitate to refer to those cells 2s foul cases, and he asserts, what has often been asserted be- fore, that they are entirely unfit for human occupation. He would rather, he s: , eat his meals in an open-air hog-pen than in the dungeons where Police Court prisoners are kept often for seven, eight or nine hours. Man’s inhumanity to man has been the text of countless d and as the results of wholesome a: persistent Agitation there have come many improve- ments for which the unfortunate and ordinarily friendless have sure been grateful.

In summer time there ts no work that should be performed more carefully than this, for on its perfect acconiplishment may depend the health or life of citizens. The authorities should be sure that every specification of the contract for cleaning the thoroughfares is carried out to the let- ter, notwithstanding the very low rate at which it was let. The cheapness of the work should not be allowed to operate as an excuse for Inefficient performance. The complaint now in hand asserts that a spe: fied street was partly swept, and then left in a wretched conditicn. The inspectors may have seen this fault and reported it to the District offices, but so few cases are on record that it is fair to presume that the fault will not be noted or punished In any official manner. The sprinklers are used, unquestionably, with too great econ- omy. There is as yet no water famine, and there is no excuse for permitting the streets to be swept dry, thus raising dust and choking the residents. There fs dan- ger in street dust, and contagious diseases are often communicated through that me- dium. Every consideration of health sug- gests that this matter should be thorough- ly watched, and perhaps an inspection force should be appointed to watch the present inspectors and see that they do their duty. For this purpose observant citi- zens who are not afraid to speak their minds are reasonably effective. ——_++>___ How much of permanent reform may come as a result of the admittedly super- fictal investigation which has been made by a select committee of the New Jersey state senate may not éasily be estimated, but, in view of the fact that the people of New Jersey generally are credited with the possession of a fair share of common sense and a little more than their share of financial shrewdness, it is likely that public corruption will be at a minimum in Jersey for some time to come. The investigating committee has only started out to seek the truth, yet it has uncovered enough of fraud to arouse indignation in the breasts of henest men everywhere. Much of the rob- bing of the state appears to have been done between the years 1559 and 1803, al- thovgh there is testimony to the effect that the thieving was going right along up to the time when the committee commenced its labors. The total sum stolen may not now be guessed at, but the evidence on file up to date would indicate that the loss will amount to hundreds of thousands of dol- jars. The form of government in the Dis- trict of Columbia is undoubtedly faulty in some respects, but, weak as it may be hi and there, it is strong enough and safe guarded enough to render it practically im- the most ingenious rascai take any. considerable sum of public money. +e It is now stated by science that indiges- tion 1 by a microbe. This dis- covery makes the microbe responsible for about every known inconvenience except- ing the overhead trolley and the bard times. ——_> 0 2» —_____ “Must we appeal? What shall we appcal to?

Emigration of that sort w encouraged indirectly by the government and directly by organizations that were formed for the apparently philanthropieal purpose of assisting abroad those whose conditions would probably be better in a new country than they ever had been in the land of their birth. Liberal contribu- tion made by persons who imagined they were doing great things for the emigrants and equally ‘mater! support by far- sighted men who desired to improve home conditions, seat to taese shores in a stream of great volume and steady flow many thousands of the lame, the nait and the blind. Frequently, tco, there would come weak-minded specimens of debased and unfortunate humanity who were sent here that they might be eared for by relatives who had preceded them, but who invari- ably found their way into institutions pro- vided for such as they, and were there supported at the public expense. All this, hewever, came to an end three years ago, when the revised immigration laws put a stop to the landing of all idiots and insane persons and compelled the steamship com- panies to return such beings to the ports where they first took them on board. Now the British authorities are much disturbed because the continenial governments of Europe are engaged in systematically send- ing to England as many lunatics as they can get rid of. It seems to be the opinion of all Great Britain that it fs folly to per- m'‘t stich persons to set foot on British soil. Discussing the problem—which may be easily solved—the Humanitarian, a Lon- don magazine, says: “The national burden of lunacy is enormous, why should we add to it by saddling ourselves with the Iuna- tices of Europe? To grant the right of asylum to political refugees is one thing, to provide an asylum for foreign pauper lunatics is another. The only remedy is to follow the example of other countries, and refuse to admit all aliens who are like to become a public nuisance cr a public burden.” The remedy is rational and will doubtless be applied in the near future.
