THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. MUESDAY............... August 27, 1895. CROSBY S. NOYES. ...:..........- Editor. ee THE EVENING STAR has a regular permanent Family Circulation much more than the combined cir- eulation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. 7 Im 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 OF OF purpose. ——— After hearing everything that the health officer and the garbage contractor have had to say about garbage disposal, and after making some personal examinations, the District Commissioners appear at last to have dec'ded upon a method of disposal which will, they believe, be satisfactory to the people of the District. Whether the system finally selected will be all that is claimed for it by Its friends, or whether It shall fail to satisfy In some important par- ticular, it cannot be intimated that the Commissioners’ conclusion was reached too hestily; on the contrary, it is already hinted In behalf of the contractor that the delay has been suffictont to operate as an obstruction to such an extent as to render it improbable that the necessary structures can be erected and equipped by November. It is to be presumed that the Commisslon- ers have satisfied themselves that the sys- tem they officially endorse {s the very best; anything less than a thoroughly satis- factory method will find but few friends at the national capital, no matter how ex- cellent the plans may appear on paper. ‘This {dea that the best is not too good tor Washington has not until recently hal any grip upon Congress and the other oftictal components of our muntelpal government, and even now there fe evident a disposition toward inefficlent cheapness end anti- economical mediccrity where the public in- terests would be much better served by liberality, of judgment at least. This mat- ter of garbage collection and disposal ts one that deeply and personally interests every resideat of the District, for if the service be poor, then the public health 1s threatened, and the same condition prevails ethod of Jisposal ts not entirely ‘ou. It 1s only reasonable to be- eve that the Commissioners have taken definite action only after the most thorough investigation, that the complaints against the Smith crematories in Philadelphia will not attach to those to be erected In Wash- ington, ané that the District of Columbia is to rejoice in a vartety of garbage disposal which will not be of Itself a nuisance. It is unfortunate that the Commissioners did not make the Investigation necessary to an intelligent decision and did not decide the vital point of the best system of gar- bage disposal before awarding the garbage contri The award of the contract at an agreed price, without selecting in advance the method of disposal, amounts to the creation of a middleman, whose interest It hecomes to use the cheapest system that the Commissioners and people will put up with. And every day after that award used by the Commissioners In making up their minds what method shall be employed by the contractor, who has the assurance of all the profits of the transaction, what- ever they may be, means so much addi- tlonal delay to the people of the city In the enjoyment of a modern and effective sys- tem, and so much longer of groaning under the evils of the present antiquated, insuf- ficlent and disgraceful method. The last Congress provided the money and the au- thority by virtue of which Washington should at this day be:enjoying a thorough system of garbage disposal by reduction or cremation. Since the beginning of the fiscal year Washington has been paying at the increased rate required for such improved service. It receives for its money only the old nulsance-committing alleged service, and even the time when it will profit by an Improved system is left in doubt and is steadily postponed by inaction on the part of the Commissioners, Mean- while the city has a temporary contractor and a permanent contractor, though with- out a system of garbage disposal, and It ts evident that the money appropriated for the reduction or cremation of the garbage will be casily disposed of, no matter what disposition is made of the garbage. ——_—__+ +2 _—_ It might naturally be supposed that school Instruction as to physiology and hy- giene, combined with the reformatory ef- forts of a considerable percentage of the American people, would result in diminish- ing the consumption of tobacco, but federal statistics indicate that the habits of smok- ing and chewing must be steadily extend- ing, for the quantity of tobacco manufac- tured into cigars, cigarettes or put up for sale in various other forms steafily be- comes greater. During the month of July there were manufactured in the United States 26,047 cigars, 305,150,300 clgar- ettes, $ pounds of tobacco, and more than one million pounds of snuff. During the same period last year the num- ber of clgars manufactured was two million less than the total given; of cigarettes there were not so many last year as this by quite half a million; of tobacco, the out- put in July, 1894, was smaller by 1,500,000 pounds than In July, 1805. The figures are interesting, and will doubtless attract at- tention. It is difficult to believe that the evident increase has taken place in the regular course of trade; there may be some special demand which has resulted in the extremely extensive output of the past month. —+- > —___ The commencement of actual work today upon the Protestant Episcopal Cathedral foundation js an event fraught with deep interest both to the Episcqpal church and to the city of Washington as an educa- tonal and religious center. The Hearst School for Girls is destined to become one of the most admirable institutions in this country, and its early completion, which the munfficence of Mrs. Hearst has. as- sured, will unquestionably be rapidly fol- lowed by the erection of the other edifices which are to be devoted to aims and ends None the less important and commendable. ———__+e The slowness with which a big bullding Goes up In this city is exceeded in shame- fulness by the quickness with which one comes down in New York. —~-e+—___ There are now predictions to the effect that clgarettes will be the death of the to- bacco trust, ———~ ++ __. Fifty dollars fine and ten days’ tmprison- Ment constitute the fate that strikes milk- dealers in New York city who sell skimmed milk for the genuine, unadulterated milk Which is so conspicuous g feature in tho @ally foo of millions, There has been a great deal of tampering with milk in New York and much of the offending has gone unpunished, but the health board has con- cluded to make things warm for the un- €crupuloug milkmen and rejoices in the @upport of those whose duty it is to ad- minister the law. There is to be imme- iat increase {n the number of milk in- spectors, and not too soon, either, for with twenty wholesale depots and seven thou- sand retall gtores—handling altogether more than elght hundred thousand quarts eagh day—there are only five inspectors. When the Inspection force has been strengthened the municipal authorities will then be more nearly able to cope with the conaclenceless rascals who are careless as to'the quality of the milk they sell so Jorg as the business is profitable. The Purishment provided by the statute, while apparently severe, might justly be stiffened considerably. Six months in jail are not too heavy a punishment for the man or woman, who, for the sake of financial gain, is willing to endanger the lives of, it matters not how many, young children, who are necessarily dependent upon the best of Uquid foods for subsistence. A conservative estimate of the number of little ones who have died as the direct result of skimmed and adulterated milk would give Herod's slaughter of the in- nocents a comparatively harmless appear- ance. In Washington the quality of milk 1s much above the average, but there are undoubted violations of the law every day. The food-inspection force is too small here, and as a consequence there are frequently sold in the District of Columbia food products that had better be thrown away than put into the human stomach. The careful housekeeper can make some sort of defense against the assaults of adul- terated solids, but she is generally at the mercy of the milkman. —_—__+ s-= —___ The promotion of Senator Brice to the position of champion of the administration is one which has {ts honors. But if he will take the trouble to interview Senator Vilas of Wisconsin and Senator Gray of Dela- ware, it will probably occur to him that he has undertaken one of the toughest con- tracts in the United States. Not long ogo both factions of Pennsyl- vania republicans were bolsterously confi- Gent and announced that success was elready assured. Today both factions are evidently uneasy and in doubt. The strug- gle tomorrow promises to be close and desperate. —___++-2—_. ‘The Chautauqua regulations in New York would not permit Maj. McKinley to leave the grounds without an especial permit.

A retired army officer, who has served In vartous portions of the ccuntry, from Maine to California, speaking of the possible re- moval of ch? national capital from the Po- tomac to the Mississippi, says: “The great West, growing as it is with unprecedented rapidity and solidity, is unanimously re- gretful that the capital ts located ou the Aulentic coast. But the railroads and tele- graph lines, and now the long-distance teie- phone service, have brought all parts of the country nearer together, and every year lessens the once powerful argument that the capital should be in the ter of the country. Besides, lcok at the maps of the great nations of the earth and see where they are located. Londen is almost on the extreme southern coast of Great Britain. Parts is in the far north of France and Berlin is north of the center of the German empire. St. Petersburg is a thou- sand miles west of the center of Russia and Pekin is In the eastern part of the Chinese empire. Rome is not near the center of Italy, while Madrid is not central in Spain. Constantinople is a coust city, and so it is all over the world. I used to hear complaints, long, loud, bitter and deep, while I was in California before the war about the unreasonable distance to Washington. But all of that prejudice has buried itself. Washington contains public buildirgs which are worth more than $100,- 000,000. The pecple do not care to waste that amount of money for a sentiment. Besides, the history of the country ts inti- mately essociated with that ten miles square on the Potomac® General Sherman used to think that the seat of government would go to the Mississippi river, and he gelected Nauvoo, Ill.- where the Mormons first settled and built their temple, as the best natural site for a city such as a cen- tral capital would be. But the capital will never be moved. It will remain here for- ever, and public protests would be almost unanimous if the proposition were ever serfously agitated.” ———_+ ++ ___. A Great Paper.
