In view of the insignificant current fn the Eastern Branch, it {s believed that the marshes there could be reclaimed with a much smaller expenditure of cash than has been necessary to se the Potomac flats to their present satisfactory level. In Holland—whose people know more about reclaiming land than any other under the sun—there is frequently employed an econ- omical method by the operation of which the r ‘anch sediment could be pre- vented from going down-stream and be used to build up a solid foundation for the soil which should be where the extremely-un- healthy marshes now are. When Congress assembles there should be a persistent cam- paign by the people of Washington in be- half of the improvement of the Branch flats. Residents of East W ton will of course take the lead but locality should have nothimg to do with the activity or inactivity of any Washingtonian; the bet- terment which will surely be demanded will affect the entire District of Columbia. — Health Officer Woodward did precisely what he was expected to do when he re- ported adversely on the proposition to place a number of public school children in the basement rooms of buildings that are al- ready overcrowded. It is undoubtedly true that school accommodations are insufficient in more than one section of the District, but the deficiencies will not be so great when the new buildings already provided for, but as yet necessarily unbuilt, are ready for occupancy. Meanwhile a num- ber of children must either be provided with educational facilities in basement rooms, or go without the learning they need, but In- asmuch as their physical health is of su- preme importance it ts believed by several members of the school board who have given the matter consideration that the youngsters had better tramp to some dis- tant building or even remain out of school until the requisite rooms and equipment have been provided. As stated in yester- day’s Star, the school board has never had the itatter brought to Its attention as a body and there is every reason for beli¢v- ing that the board would, had it been fully aware of what was intended, have rendered it unnecessary for the heath officer to make any inspection and report. —_—__r +m Shall we render a verdict of “Sefved them right” In the case of Christian mission- aries murdered fn China? Is {it necessary for one who prefers domestic to foreign missicns to so condemn the latter as to find the missionaries deserving of capital punfshment? Most people will admit that domestic missions should not be neglected in order to cultivate foreign missions. But those who do most to relieve physical and moral distress at hom re the most apt to be blessed with that unselfish and abound- ing beneflcence which extends interest, sympathy and relief beyond the narrow domestic circle to the needy outside, even to the people of other lands. It is too often the case that the selfish man evades his duties to those not in his immediate circle on the plea that he has enough of that sort of thing to do in that circle, and, hay- ing thus begun to contract his sympathies, ends by confining his interest to that por- tion of the human race which is bounded by his own skin. Missions, like charity, begin at home, but should not end there. ———__e If the Equity Court refuses the applica- tion for an injunction to restrain the Com- missioners from filing and recording the map of the first street-extension section it is hoped that the Commissioners will not treat their victory in the same way that they treated the court’s decision refusing to enjoin them from cutting down the Eck- ington trolley poles. Otherwise the map will be withheid from filing as the conse- quence of a decision that nobody can pre- vent it from being filed. But perhaps the Commissioners really want to file the xtension map, In which case they might not view a refusal to enjoin them as equivalent to an injunction. — ' sentiment grows smaller ‘al of business gives men less nd around and argue. This indicates that the agitation was one of the incidental symptoms of a financial strin- Gency, and not a cool-headed demand for a radical change of policy. ——_ > ___ In order to build the new union station it will be necessary to get rid of a bluff. ‘The same is true of the new post-office. + 02 No matter how the election in New York city turns out t fall, no one will be Iskely to assert that the election officers Were incompetent men or men bent upon depriving any honest voter of his right of suffrage. ection officers In New York are appointed by tke board of police com- loners, and every intelligent reader of apers knows what a conscien- tlous body of officials compose that board. Hitherto it has been the custom for the political bosses to select pliant agents, who would disregard the law and the equities any anything and everything except the Instructions given them by the bosses. valent betw: This year Tammany Hall will have the | nominating of one-half of the election of- ficers and the other half will be nominated by the regular republican party organiza- tions; but the man who is nominated will arily be appointed.

With the long end of the lever in their hands 1nd with the !aw’s immovable ful- crum in position, why is it that the Di trict Comm: oners neither take action as to the removal of the illegally-maintained trolley poles on New York avenue nor an- nounce to the public their reasons for de- laying to do the duty required of them by their respective oaths of office? If the Com- missioners have received satisfactory and binding urances of the Eckington com- pany’s Inteation to speedily substitute a modern underground motor for the obst tive and dangerous poles and wires, they should take the people into their confider and let them know upon what terms an armistice has been negotiated. oe General” Michael Fitzgerald, who led what was called the New England brigade of Coxey’s army to this city and to the Maryland house of correction, has been adjudged insane. The only complaint that could be made as to this action of the au- thorities of Lynn, Mass., is that the officfal discovery of insanity is about a year and a half later than the discovery by the gen- eral public. —_ + = —___ Ex-President Harrison’s portrait in the White House does very well for the pres- ent.
