6 THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. MONDAY..................Jume 24, 1895. CROSBY S. NOYES. . Editor. 5 regular and THE EVENING STAR permanent circalation much more than the combined circulation of the other Washington dailies. As na 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 individual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. Alexandrians who complain of the offen- -sive nuisances engendered by the passage or the™pzasence in front of their city of scows containing Washineton garbage are quite right when they ind'enantly protest and demand a remedy. That this city must rid itself of the surplus matter the odors of which cause Alexandrtans so much an- novance fs certain, hut there fs no reason why the method emploved should he of a sort likely to disturb any ne!ehboring com- munity. For vears past garbaee scows on the river have detracted considerably from the pleasure which peovle expect to find on the Potomac during the warm nights of summer time, but the grumbling of thou- sands seems to have been without aval! although the case has been often presented most forcibly by some who were not con- tent to snffer In silence. Vigorous efforts have been made to modernize the views of the authorities as to this extremely-im- portant matter, and, as the result of con- sctentious agitation, Coneress was finally brought to recognize the dangers that lurk in the ancient methods against the con- tinned existence of which the people of Alexandria have rebelled. Washington is therefore in sympathy with Alexandria as to the undesirability of the present method of garbage disposal; it realizes that ‘great Injury may be wrought by the anti-hy- sienic plans of those who are permitted to work their financially-economical wills as to the disposition of the city’s offal; it pledges itself to do all that is within its power to correct a state of affairs most dis- creditable to those who dwell within the limits of the national capital. The good people of Alexandria will, It is thought, be as deeply interested in the moral garbage heaped up at Jackson City and Rosslyn— most offensive to the nostrils of Washing- ton—as they undoubtedly are over this physical garbage which disturbs their ol- factories. Remarkably patient during a long period of time, the people of Alex- andria seem to have reached the conclu- sion that it would be proper for them to use forc2 in ridding themselves of the smells consequent upon the passing before their river-front of Washington's garbage scows: even though they pass in Mary- land waters. Logically they will, there- fore, admit that Washingtonjans who ob- Ject to the pestilential and morally de- structive influences emanating from Jack- son City and Rosslyn are not unreasonable in their demands that Virginia apply an effective remedy. Residents of the District of Columbia have no desire to annoy such a good neighbor—a suburb, in fact—as Alexandria has been and still-is, so they will see to it that the cause of complaint is removed as speedily as possible. Vir- ginia and Alexandria county have prom- ised to do whatever lies in their power \to render Jackson City and Rosslyn less in- ‘Jurfous to the capital, and recent indica- tions point to the probability that the promises made will soon be redeemed. Then, when the physical garbage of Wash- irgton no longer annoys Alexandria and the moral garbage which Alexandria county has permitted to be dumped upon it by New Jersey and other states has been so diminished as to cease to threaten the wel- fare of the District of Columbia, all will be well in this vicinity. The Star has re- peatedly urged the District Commissioners to compel at the earliest moment the erec- tion of a reduction plant which will render unnecessary the scow method of disposal, and there is likelihood of sweeping reform in the near future. The race may be an exciting one. Will Virginia or the na- tional capital be the first to be cleansed in such a manner as to avoid offense to others, while purifying and benefiting it- self? ——__—_++ + ____ It has been several seasons since the cheerful cry of the hokey pokey man has been heard in the streets of Washington and during the past three summers this congealed product has been largely sup- planted by other favorites among the youngsters of the city. The decline of hokey pokey should meet with the ap- proval of all parents, for facts are now coming to light about the manufacture of hokey pokey that would be discouraging if it were now the staple article of local mid- summer commerce that it used to be. It has gained in New York quite as much popularity as it used to have here and several deaths among children that have been traced directly to the consumption of hokey pokey have led to an investiga- tion into the ways and means of its pro- duction and show that it is liable to be under certain circumstances a dangerous poison. It seems that the Itallans who mostly handle this article make regular nocturnal rounds among the hotels and res- taurants of the metropolis and gather the left-over ice cream, scrapings from saucers and freezers and all possible quantities of this stuff that they can get cheaply. It ts then carried in a melting state to their miserable homes and there, in the midst, of the foul air that fills the tenements, it.is refrozen into the hard, com- pact slabs that retail for five cents apiece and In some cases for less. It is a known fact that ice cream that has once melted soon turns sour and in that con- dition is liable to produce a highly poison- ous substance that is frequently fatal in its results, Nine-tenths of the material from which the hokey pokey is made is melted to an almost Haquid state before it is finally refrozen and it is probably safe * to assume that a considerable proportion of the stuff goes to the youthful consumer in a dangerous condition. ———_ + ee -—__ The trolley is opposed to the methods which it prescribes for its victims. It is strenuously in favor of a lingering death. —> 2 ___ One week from today the life of the trolley poles on New York avenue expires by law. After that day it will be illegal for the Eckington and Soldiers’: Home Rall- way Company to operate its cars within the city limits by overhead electric power, and the question will come: What will the compeny do? In a certain sense the com- pany is the guardian of its own affairs, and can do whatever it may please, so long-as it keeps within the letter of the law, though it seldom gets very far away from it on the right side, as a matter of fact. That is one way of looking at a great corporation, but the better point of view is to regard it as a servant, not a master of the people. It has been granted a valuable franchise without giving in re- turn any consideration, except the promise to afford the traveling public adequate means of transportation. A situation now arises that forces the company to choose between two courses; to give the best ser- vice that it can under the law and in view of ite financial resources, while waiting for Congressional authority to issue bonds for @ new construction fund, or to go out of business. Were the present “embarrass- ment” one that the public has created, or that has resulted from any natural causes, the eompany might deserve some sym- pathy. But inasmuch as it has worked it- self into this hole by its own desperate endeavors to get something that it should not get and by refusing or neglecting to pave the way for the betterment that it must have seen was inevitable, there will be little inclination on the part of the peo- ple to waste any sentiment upon it. It was characteristic of the road that at the very time that the directors were. applying for and obtaining from the District Commis- stoners a permit to change the motive power from overhead trolley to a magnetic system, they were seeking to put through Congress in an underhanded manner a pro- vision extending the trolley one more year. They got the permit in February, and sci- mtific opinion expressed at the time was to the effect that the new plant could be established within ninety days. Had the least measure of diligence and enterprise been exercised the road would today be running under the new system, and all this trouble about the poles would be averted. But the people are not to be fooled by the pretense that the road is unfortunate. Its misfortune lies in its miserable persistence in clinging to the al- ready antiquated trolley while a new and better system of propulsion is demanded by law and public sentiment. —> + =_____. It 1s not at all surprising that the pre- Mminary reports which the government agents at Bering Sea have sent to the ‘Treasury show that the seal herd is mtch smaller this season than ever before. The cause Is said to be indiscriminate pelagic sealing In which the proportion of seal skins secured to creatures slaughtered is said to be less than one in ten. This fvightful waste is of course telling upon the herd, and unless it can be stopped by some rigid and effectual international regula- tions that will be made in sincerity and enforced in honesty, the day will soon come wher the seals will entirely disappear from the seas and the world will be de- prived of one of its most profitable indus- tries. —————— There being no material on the ground with which to work, there was absolutely nothing done today on the new city post- office building. The weather conditions are entirely favorable to satisfactory speed in construction, but the delays wrought by some of the iron jobbers—delays which should be costly if the penalty clauses in the contracts mean anything—continue to add to the improbability of the building be- ing completed until long after the year 1s97—the year graven on the building front—has passed into history. ——___ 0 =___ If Lord Rosebery has a little leisure later on, he might gratify the public by giving it something autaentic concerning this charming but slightly suspicious story of his having as a school boy declared that he would marry an hetress, win the Derby and be prime minister. This is an icono- clastic, as well as enthusiastic age, and ext to raising a fictitious Idol the world most dearly loves to see one smashed.

If women get to doing that sort of work they may at least be expected to take their crocheting along. a ‘The manner in which Governor Morton's tug got mixed up in the Hudson river boat race may be accepted by the superstitious as an omen of what the governor's pull will do in the presidential race. ——_~«— It is feared that Mr. Simpson of Kansas is approaching that unsatisfactory level in public fe where a man is known to farmers as a politician and to politicians as a farmer. —_— - e = It is somewhat pathetic to see how many eminent orators there are who decline to be on speaking acquaintance with silver. —- 202 Chicago is running no chance of being left behind.
