8 THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. WHURSDAY - July 4, 1893. TROSBY 8. NOYES.... - Editor, PHE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation much more than the combined circulation of the other Washington dailtes. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. [7 Im order to avoid delays, on ac- fount of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any individual connected with the pitice, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. Whenever there falls anywhere in the vicinity of the upper Potomac a heavy shower of rain, the people of Washing- ton have good reason for complaint, for Bs a consequence of the downpour there fs turbidity of the water which many Washingtonians drink an e for bathing @nd other sanitary purposes. This grum- Bling at the excessive amount of solid matter in a product which to be pure must be wholly liquid has become habitual and there will not likely be any break In the eustom so long as the moving cause con- tinues to incite grief and profanity. Just mow the clayey, gritty sediment in the city’s supply of water is lessening In quan tity, but fer a week or so it has been con- spicuously in evidence whenever a spigot was turned ubless the spigot chanced to be attached to a first-class filter. Volumi- hous and vociferous has been public con- @emnation, but the anathemas have been Beattered promiscuously and have in the majority of instances missed those who must bear the responsibility for a condi- tion which if not directly detrimental to health is most disagreeable. This Is perhaps good a time as any to devote to discus- sion of the dirty water for which the peo- ple of this city are compelled to pay much, but {t ts wilful waste of ammuni- tion to fire volleys into the air which, if they were reserved for awhile, might be effective. A campaign in behalf of an un- contaminated water supply has been waged for years by the engineer officers who have had charge of the Washington aqueduct, and their efforts have been strongly sup- ported by organizations and individuals {interested in the welfare of the national ®apital, but Congress—now, as in most ether municipal irstances, the sinner, turned for many years its deaf ear toward the petitioners and closed its eyes. Plans for cleansing the water of all impurities be- fore releasing it frem the distributing res- ervoir have again and again been sub- Mitted to congressional committees and there has, simultareously, been argument Buffictent, {t seemed, to compel conviction, but the movement was slow, for the con- gressional mind was bent on mascalled “economy” and there was great saving everywhere except as to appropriations Lo be expended in the districts of some of the fommitteemen. Of course there were ex- teptional legislators—men who realized that this capital of the nation has rights de- serving of respect and who strove honestly to deal fairly by a community that must gain the consent of Congress before it fan spend one cent of the money which is contributed by the unrepresented taxpay. ers—but that variety of man was for a long time in a minority. Only by strenu- ous effort and only recently was any pro- gress made toward the betterment which will some day be achieved through the settling-basins in which sedimentation will @oubtless be successful. To grumble at the muddiness ®of the water which is piped fnto the homes of this city is an entirely fatural proceeding, but, except for the empty satisfaction that may be derived ffom expletive relief, It is resultless. The time to growl is when Congress is In ses- Bion. And the result to be attained by our growling ‘s the speedy completion of the plan of dam-raising and settling and stor- gge basin construction, upon which Con- gress, after years of urging by the engi- meer officers, The Star, and the community fn general, has now wisely entered. The project of installing an expensive filtra- tion system will need to be considered only fn case the proposed settling-basins fail to reduce sufficiently the objectionable tur- Didity. —___++s+___ ‘The one hundred and nineteenth anni- wersary of the Declaration of Independence @oes not appear to present features differ- {ng materially from those which have been prominent in celebrations past. There have been readings of the famous declaration, end speeches, and music, and parades, and ® great display of bunting and a succession of explosive noises that at times have been phenomenally conspicuous. Some of the @in has been unmeaning, but the most uf {t undoubtedly bore close reiationship to the feeling which should inspire every American on this, the nation’s natal day. When Thanksgiving comes around we are then publicly grateful for the marvelous growth and the increasing -prosperity of this land of ours; today let us revere the memories of the men and women whose persistent patriotism knew no fear and to whom we owe more than can possibly be paid for the fundamental liberties, to establish which they pledged their lives, their fortunes and their honor, and, in too many instances, sacrificed all but the honor. The tendercy of the United States 4s forward, and the movement thither is increasingly rapid, we face toward the future and not the past, but it will be prof- {table to pause on this one day in the year—the greatest day in our national cal- endar—that we may indulge in so much of retrospection as will bring into full view the grandeur of character and the unsel- fish devotion of the fathers and mothers of the republic. ——_+ + > __ Political life provides appointments for the few and disappointments for the many. After having satisfied himself cf the ac- furacy of the first part of the statement Benator Quay is now grteving, in com- pany with the multitude, over the truth- fulness of its concluding affirmation. One pf those politicians upon whom Mr. Quay thought he could: safely lean in his cam- paign for chairmanship of the state com- mittee has notified the Senator that in view of an appointment recently made by Governor Hastings he cannot support his one-time chief, whereupon the Senator tele- graphed: “This Is the coldest-blooded mer- tenary stab I have encountered in this tampaign of assassination.” For the first tine In his political career Senator Quay begins to see the evil of the power of gicedy and corrupt corporations in our Breat citles, and the public danger from tontrol of politics by mercenary spoils- men, and he now finds himself denouncing these upon whom he has hitherto relied. The experience may be painful, but it is educative. ————_ + + = ___ The permits for the cccupation of the lawns in this city are issued only to chil- dren. They afford no encouragement to any ambitions which Mr. Coxey may have to play In our yard. —_~-+2_ Neither the Geological nor the Coast and Geodetic Survey seems to know anything about a remarkable shrinkage in the earth’s crust Which appears to have re- cently taken place in that region which Mes between the “bumpers” In the Balti- more and Ohio railroad station in this city and the railroad station at Langdon. At a meeting of the Northeastern Suburban Citizens’ Association Monday evening, it was announced that the dist the two points named had, according to the mile-posts of the railroad company, decreased exactly one mile within a few Gays. None of the seismometers in this region have given indication of any sort of terrestial convulsion, and {t may be— irdeed this ts the only explanation that amounts to anything—that the distance after all is the same, but that the Balti- more and Ohio company has decided that honesty of measurement is a good policy for a railroad corporation. Residents of Langdon express themselves as satisfied that they are really no nearer the capital than they were a month ago, but they are of the opinion that railroad fare between the two points will soon decrease. ——_—___+ e+ ____ Property-uwners who have complaints to make as to tax-assessments on new buildings must state their grievances to the board of equalization on or before the 15th instant. How many of this class of property-owners feel as though they had been over-assessed is not known, but the prebabilities are that the proportion of over-assessment has been quite as great as it was in the assessment of old property. Perhaps the proprietors of new buildings wil be treated more leniently than those whose misfortune it is to be much too- heavily taxed on account of more ancient structures. —_____ + +e —_ -__ Some of these days there may arise a scientist who will make plain the effects of tariff-rates on patriotism. Vast wealth of material upon which he can labor will be found in the suggestion that firecrackers are cheaper this year than ever before and that there was much more of noisy celebra- tion today than on any other day of which the city of Washington has any personal knowledge. + oe Senator Quay’s activity in urging an im- mediate Lexowing of the Quaker City in- dicates a pessible ambition on his part to be known as the Parkhurst of Philadel- phia. ————_+ + ___ There is no apparent objection to this government's canceling stamps by hand if it will-go a step further and cease running its politics by machine. —_—— oo Possibly, as a matter of reciprocal cour- tesy, Virginia might permit Washington to establish its garbage-destroying plant at Jackson City. 2. _—_ It is serious when an old party organiza- tion divides on the currency. When it subdivides, the situation becomes positively pathetic. —__+ + _____ It is an interesting fact that when the liquor laws are more rigidly enforced on the Atlantic coast the sea serpent fa‘ls to ma- terialize. —___+ +2 There are evidences that the monetary @scussion will not become the rival to base- ball for popular attention that it threatened to be. — + ___ A very vigorous effort has been made to corvince the public that Billy Williams has been a slightly overworked confesstonist. Sa New York may awaken to the fact that a “dry” Surday makes the police news for Merday che-rfully dry reading. In addition to the horse-race gambling centingency, this section is becoming a pop- ular resort for train robbers. ——__+< Engiand forced the opium trade on China, and China has dnmped her firecracker mar- ket on this country. ». . ———— It is a wise parent that knows just what great man to name the youngest baby after. ——___ + 0 + —___.

There in the silence of the shade, Where years have spread a leafy bower, You slumber through the cannonade Which tells your victories at this hour. Oh, sleeping patriots, even now We envy you your placid joys: Your rest mid all this jolly row This hideous carnival of noise. ss Why Not Bury the Wires? From the Detroit Free Press. The sad fatality in which Lineman J. C. Ccwell figured emphasizes the necessity for the wearing of gloves in handling elec- tric wires, and the fact that too much stress cannot be laid upon the matter among employes and employers to prevent the recurrence of such lamentable accti- dents. China’s Worst Foe. From the Omaha Bee. The people of China fear the plague worse than they do war. When the war ends with their defeat they can purchase peace, but the slaughter of the plague goes on un- interrupted and no money can avail to stop its terrible ravages.
