Be Liberal as to Estimates. At this season of the year the District Commissioners are accustomed to devote much thought to the estimates of expenses for the coming fiscal year which, after sub- mission to the Secretary of the Treasury, are forward2d to Congress for legislative action therecn. It is unfortunately true that congressional committees have habit- ually dealt with such estimates in a man- ner that can only be denominated unfair; the figures have been treated just as though they were exorbitant, and the per- feral statements of the Commissioners themselves have received much less of con- sideration than they deserved. But the present board of Commissioners should not Permit adverse experiences In the past to influence them in the composition of their schedule of municipal needs. If the public schools absolutely need the expenditure of five hundred thousand dollars more than the sum available last year, it is poor policy in the long run to ask for fifty thousand dollars because the Commissioners may chance to believe that Congress would not ccnsent to appropriate more than the last- Tamed sum. So also as to the police force, to which a large addition in numbers is un- questionably essential. If the necessities pcint to an estimate for one hundred addi- ticral officers, let the Commissioners ask for at least that number rather than say to themselves and the community “We will ask only for twenty-five for Congress will not.give us more.” By estimating with rea- sonable and businesslike liberality as to these and other Important items of apro- priation the Commissioners will shake from their own shoulders a grave responsibility; they will not be held blameworthy if Con- gress fails to do its whole duty by the na- tloral capital. The city’s growth is steady and sure and the needs of Its residents @aily increase. The Commissioners are, to a considerable extent, the agents of Con- gress and Congress must of necessity de- pend upon them for information as to those thirgs which contribute materially to the city’s welfare. There should, therefore, be as little as possible of what may be termed diplomacy in the dealing of the Commis- siorers with those who have the appropriat- ing power. ———_~+e+____ Why Not “Association” Foot Ball? ‘The anti-football decision of thé faculty of Georgetown University will probably re- awaken an old controversy as to the bru- tality or otherwise of the game which Georgetown students may no longer play. Years ago football was not a dangerous game, and it is not necessarily so now, un- less it is played after the Rugby fashion. Carefully compiled statistics have many times been published, and they have in- variably shown that the percentage of fatalities and serious injuries resulting from participation in the Rugby game has completely overtopped the percentages of damage wrought in all other forms of ath- letic endeavor. This showing was not sur- prising, for of late years the players have devoted themselves mainly to slugging and wrestling, rather than to clever manipula- tion of the ball; hardly a game took place anywhere that did not result in serious in- jury to one or more, and sometimes to nearly all, of the players. The action of the Georgetown faculty is, of course, due to the death of George Bahen, who was in- jured in the game which took place last Thanksgiving Day, and while it may not completly put a stop to football in the District, ‘t will operate powerfully to dis- courage the formation of amateur teams in this vicinity. One of the extraordinary things in connection with football Is the “fact that few players seem to have any affection for the “association” game, which has within it so many more possibilities for the display of real skill than have ever existed in the Rugby variety. A number of association games were played in this city last year by professionals, and on those eccasicns there were revelations of agility and headwork that were fully appreciated by the spectators. The association game Is successful only when it is well played, and there are no cusualties; the Rugby game is a complete failure unless somebody is hurt. ‘The Georgetown faculty has done wisely in forbidding Georgetown students to play the Rugby game. — + ___ Dr. George Plamb Is a chemist In the University of Chicago. Dr. Plumb has been experimenting a3 to the concentration of food. He feels convinced that the essential feod-elements of a 1,200-pound steer can easily be placed within the circumscribed Soundaries of a pill box. Up to this time he has produced concentrated soup, put up in tablets each the size of an ordinary pea @nd ecch capable of producing, when dis- solved in het water, a large bowl of nutri- tious moisture. A pound and a half of beet is but a little thing waen Dr. Plumb has fir'shed compressing its muscle and fat forming qualities; a pint of milk looks like @ small bean; a tablet of wheaten grits is no bigger thaa a dime, yet produces a pound of food; while a very diminutive egg tablet is as good as twelve eggs. Under some circumstances these concentrated foods would doubtless be of great value, but the day is far distaat when mankind will vol- untarily deny Itself the pleasure of chewing beefsteak in the original or of drinking milk as the cow gives it. —_____+ «= —___ It would be a very good idea indeed for the Central American states to effect a union. This might make one revolution do where three or four are required for pres- ent emergencies. ——_ ~~ e+—____ Lord Dunraven should realize that the loss of the race 1s bad enough without a loss of temper along with it. —__~ = The Importance of Garbage Inspection By aid by there will be in operation in this city a locally new system of garbage disposal, and it is hoped that with the in- coming of that system an end will be put to the complaints that are now entirely too common. That such a desirable condition may not at once materialize is, however, @ possibility, and we have before us Phila- delphia’s experience as testimony to show that what seems to be as good an inciner- ation method as cen be found, may, after all, be eastly rendered worthless. The Phitatelphia Ledger asks: “What does Director Thompson intend to do In the matter of garbage collection and disposal? beyond perad- venture that contractors are not in- cinerating all the garbage they collect, as required by their contracts; he knows that the inspectors of the street cleaning bu- reau have not failed to report the facts to him, and he knows that Chief Martin of that bureau has not been serving him loy- ally, but has been acting as the apologist of derelict contractors.’ To this question no really satisfactory answer has yet been vouchsafed. There fs no complaint at all as to garbage col- 3ectlon, the trouble has its origin in the fact that the crematorles—which, by the way, are similar to those that are to be erected in this city—are frequently over- worked. So long as the furnaces are not required to do more than they are guaran- teed to do, everything is well, but just as soon as the amount of garbage collected exc2eds the capacity of the incineration plants, then the trouble begins. The refuse matter that finds its Way into the crema- tories is at times, according to the Ledger, only partiaily destroyed, while hundreds of tons of disease-breeding material are dumped wherever the contractor’s men can get rid of it, principally upon truck patches. These happenings were re- ferred to as probabilities by The Star when it was arguing for the establishment of a reduction process, by means of which local garbage could be satisfactorily and profitably disposed, of. When the conditions are such that there ig more money for the contractor in fail- ing to live up to the terms of his contract than there is in carrying out its provisions, then it is not at all surprising that the garbage disposal—of so much importance to a community—should be slighted at every opportunity. Every ton of garbage that is burned means the expenditure by the contractor of so mich money for coal or other fuel. With the reduction system in cperation the contractor would find it to his advantage to squeeze the market- able prodycts from every pound of garbage he could possibly collect. The lesson to be learned by the local authorities here— they having elected to adopt incineration— is that there shall be a system of inspec- tion wholly devoid of weakness. ——____ 2 + An Iaternational Disappointment. It is now certain that the America’s cuf will remain in the United States at least until 1896. This is a pleasing fact, but the circumstances which brought it into existence are far from sutisfactory, even to thoso enthusiastic Americans who sin- cerely hoped that Valkyrie would not win even one of the races for the world's yacht- ing championship. The program called for at least three contests between Valkyrie and Defender. Only one race has been sailed, yet, through @ technicality and something that resembles ill-temper on the part of Lord Dunraven, the cup is assured one more year of residence in New York. No yachtsman desired to have the contest settled in such fashion, and in the hope that there would be square racing to a decisive finish millions of Americans who know nothing or next to nothing about yachting had full share. Satisfled after Saturday's victory that Defender had noth- ing to fear from Valkyrie and willing to put aside the technical victory awarded him by the racing committee, Mr. Iselin offered to wipe out Tuesday's proceedings and sail the race over, but Lord Dunrayen declined the proffered opportunity to win what might have proved to be a victory for “the meteor flag of England.” Yes- terday Valkyrie, disappointed two nations by declining to race, after going over the line and giving Defender the title to the cup. For this latter action, especially, Lord Dunraven is being criticised, but most of the criticlsms are based upon improper premises. There was no interference on the part of excurston steamers or pilots sufficient to have caused the withdrawal of Valkyrie, but there had been communicat- ed to the racing committee Lord Dunrav- en's ultimatum that unless the committee would agree to declare void a race in which either of the contestants should at any time suffer from the encroachments of non-participants in the contests, he would not sail Valkyrie. The committee refused to make any such promise, and Lord Dun- raven withdrew. The cenclusion of the [So-called contests cannot be otherwise than annoying both to the English and Ameri- can people, for it presages possible care- lessness as to the America’s cup on the part of Great Britain for, perhaps, seasons jo come. In some respects Lord Dunraven has been right, but by declining to resail Tuesday's race and by his hasty action of yesterday he has\detracted considerably from his popularity and to some extent from his reputation as a sportsman. If he takes Valkyrie home before other races can be arranged he will disappoint a great many ‘Americans who have hitherto re- garded him as a yachting paragon. - —____ + ee—- Newsy and bright and attractive in ap- pearance is the Mexican Herald, an Ameri- can newspaper published in ‘the City of Mexico from the beginning of the present month, Its appearance with the Ass0- ciated Press dispatches, marking the ex- tension of that service to the City of Mex- ico, is a notable event in Mexican and American journalism. ———__ + «= ____ Jacob S.
