THE EVENING STAR. WASHIN @TON. HONDAY........ seeeceeess Sully 22, 1895. CROSBY S. NOYES...... ..-Editor. THE EVENING STAR ha regular and permanent circulation much more thi 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 indiyidual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. All 1 Washingtontans feel a great interest in the investigation now in progress con- cerning the possibility of using the great aqueduct tunnel that pierces the earth from the unused reservoir at Howard Uni- versity to the conduit near the river, over four miles away. When the tunnel was al- lowed to fill after the active operations were abandoned in the fall of 1888 the opinion was freely expressed that the water would cause such a disintegration of the rock and of the faulty packing in the sections that had been lined that the tunnel would practically fall to pleces and its utilization would never be possible. This thought was distressing, as the tunnel represents today an expenditure of” money so vast that it seems incredible that so few results have been obtained. On the other hand, the engineers have, as a rule, been confident that the tunnel would hold itself intact against the assault of the water and would be found to be in practi- cally the same condition when pumped out as when {ft was allowed to fill. That this opinion was correct is now proven by the Investigations that are soon to close, a verification of which was, obtained this morning by a representative of this paper, the account of whose visit into the tunnel appears elsewhere in The Star. One im- portant fact, it seems, has been demon- strated by the present inquiry, namely, that the seepage, or drainage of water Into the tunnel from the earth, is alto- gether likely to improve rather than to de- teriorate the quality of the water supply. Chemical analyses have shown that this water is perfectly pure, probably more so than the average Potomac water which it is proposed to conduct by means of this tunnel to the reservoir north .of the city. It would appear from the records that a sufficient quantity drains into the tunnel from the rocks every day to effect a mate- rial change in the character of the water flowing from the eastern terminus, ang if these analyses are of any value the con- clusion is inevitable that the passage of the supply from the conduit to the reser- voir would be a benefit rather than a danger to the community. If the tunnel can be used as an aqueduct rather than as a mere holder of tron pipes, as has been proposed, the water service at the capital will be vastly*benefited. Upon Major Knight's report, therefore, a great deal depends. This careful and conserva- tive officer will doubtless consider the case maturely before he transmits his conclu- sions to the chief of engineers, and enough 1s known of his ability to warrant the be- Nef that his advice will be sound and rella- ble. There is, of course, at this time no inkling obtainable from him of what his conclusions will be.. But it is apparent from what has been stated heretofore that the report will be adverse to the project of using the tunnel as the location for a pipeline, and that if the tunnel is not to be abandoned altogether an effort will probably be made to place it in condition for use as a conduit, for which it was originally intended. There are other tests yet to be made that may throw new light upon the situation, as the tunnel has really not yet been subjected to any pressure, and it is this element that forms the un- certain quantity in the case. At all events, there is a sincere desire on the part of all the tax-payers of the capital that some practical use can be found for this hole in the ground that will lghten the burden that was placed so heavily upon their shoulders when the Dis- trict was required to pay half of the cost of what for some years has appeared to be @ totally useless project. It is doubtful if the tunnel can ever be made an eco- nomical adjunct to the water supply sys- tem in view of the waste of money that has been caused by the frauds that were practiced upon the government in its coy- struction. Yet, if anything can be saved, the citizens will surely be grateful, pro- vided the cost of saving the tunnel shall not exceed the necessities of the situation. —_—_____+ «+ ___ The Electrical Workers’ Union of this elty ought not to have much difficulty in persuading the glectrical unions elsewhere throughout the country that this is, of all American cities, the most desfrable as the Place for a national convention. Other or- ganizations satisfied themselves as to this long ago; still others have made more re- cent discovery to the same effect; only a few yet femain to be converted. Washing- ton has concededly more facilities for the entertainment of conventions than are to be found elsewhere in the United States; but aside from this consideration, {mpor- tant as it 1s, there !s the unassailable fact that within the District of Columbia Is to be found every inducement that can pos- sibly be held out to visitors by any other American ¢lty, with a number of induce- ments and attractions Indigenous to the national capital. Washington has always been warm in its welcome of ali kinds of visiting bodies. It will make things as pleasant as possible for the electrical work- ers if they decide to come here next No- vember. —_- - 0 Sheriff Palmer is doing his duty in Alex- andria County. The mass of evidence col- lected by the Beard of Trade concerning the Jackson City and Rosslyn resorts has been fully verified in the recent raids. Sher- iff Palmer can do far more to boom the material interests of Alexandria County by persisting steadily in his werk of clear- ing out the gembling dens and thus remoy- ing the main obstacles to the county's advancement than by following the foolish advice of those who would have him deny both the existence of the evils and his ability to remedy them, and would cause him to permit the community to continue to suffer from a destructive nulsance, in the unlawful pro of which he would inev- {tably be suspected of sharing. —+ e+ ____ It Is, of course, impossible to make posi- tive assertions as to the future in aquatic ae But It ts safe to predict that any yacht selected to compete with Great Britain can be relied on to at least go over the cours —> 2 ___ w York goes abjectly on record with a confession that Its thirst for righteousness is really a secondary Sabbath considera- tion. ——- +ee-—__ Civilization generally cannot do other- wise than deeply regret the fact that Satur- Gay's morning session of the populist county convention held at Canton, Ohio, ended In ® general fight In the course of which whiskers were pulled and blood was spilled. From the time when the present race of man commenced to be there have been many examples of damage wrought by in- ternecine strife and there ts Scriptural Warning to the effect that the house divided against itself shall surely fall, yet the countless lessons on record seem to be with- out effect in such gatherings as that which broke up in disorder Saturday morning at Canton. With the occurrences prior to the whisker-pulling episode the public generally has little or nothing to do; the American people care naught for the fact that one member of the convention cajled another member a liar, or for the resultant fact that such walking-sticks as one might reasonably expect to find in a populist convention were called into active service; nor does anyone care particularly whether the eyes that were blackened and the noses that were skinned were many or few; national !nter- est centers aroand the whiskers. Whether rightfully or otherwise, a large percentage of the citizens of this republic have come to the conclusion that whiskers—long, wavy whiskers, “Galway sluggers,” “County An- trims” and “chinners” of more than aver- age length—are the cutward evidence of the populist party. Therefore it is very sur- prising to learn that when the brethren at Canton disagreed they were apparently without any respe2t whatever for the hir- sute symbol around which they oft have rallied to do battle against the laws of sup- |* Fly and demand. Just as it fs an ill bird that fouls its own nest, so it is a con- scienceless populist who pulls the populistic whiskers. ——__—_+ e+ ____ : Senor Castelar is grieved because people of the United States sympathize with Cuba in the struggle which ts now going on for the possession of the valuable island, prop- erty a short distance to the south of Florida. The Spanish statesmen says that North Americans are not just to the coun- try which was the mother and discoverer of America, and following up this idea he draws some remarkable inferences from history. He announces with all the serious- ness of one who has just made a great find that “Classicism in Mterature and art still reigns in Europe, and there exists through- out the world a sort of religion called Hellenic hecause Grecce was the initiator of European civilization. In occidental countries we have made Roman civilization a dogma and called it Catholicism. Well, America must sooner’or later create a re- ligion which will be called Hispanism, te- cause from the Mississippi to Patagonia America owes the civilization which has been its life to Spain, and the logical laws of religion and society desire that Spain shall always be an American power in the interest of our planet and the good of hu- manity.”' Senor Castelar is evidently not himself. There will never be any Hispanism in the United States for several good reasons, and one of them—of itself sufficient—is the fact that the United States is not indebted to Spain for anything which furnishes even an infinitesimal basis for that senti- ment of grateful devotion which is felt by the faithful for their religion. Indirect- ly, but at best vaguely, this country may have been benefited by Spanish effort since the days of Columbus, but if we leave out of consideration that eminent Italian navi- gator’s great discovery—for which indl- vidual Americans may or may not express their gratitude-Spain does not seem to have any particular claim upon this re- public. —_-o2+—__<_ ‘A New York newspaper quotes Niccolo Machiavelll, who was the original “Old Nick,”’ and who was held worthy to supply a nickname to his satanic majesty, in sup- port of its theory that the saloons ought to be kept open on Sunday. —————+2=____ An ability to make profitable merchandise of theorles on finance does not by any means imply that their author is an expert financier.
