6 THE EVENING STAR, TUESDAY, ——— = THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. TUESDAY. September 24, 1895. CROSBY S. NOYES................Editor. THE EVENING STAR has a regular amd 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. lm order to avoid delnys, 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 tenor or purpose. Pat Garbage-plan the Suburbs. ‘Whatever is physiologically right is morally right; and whatever is physio- Icgically wrong is morally wrong.” ‘The accuracy of this axiom may not be denied by sane persons, and even the District Ccmmissioners must admit that there is no straining after effect when it is insisted that the effort to place a garbage crema- tory in South Washington is physiolog- ically and morally indefensible. This is the attitude of those residents of South Washington who declare that not until every legal effort to keep out the obnox- ious furnaces fails will they cease to work in behalf of the public health and the pub- lic comfort in the southern portion of this city. Of course, it is admitted by every- one that the city’s garbage must be dis- posed of, and good sense would dictate that it should be done in the least offznsive manner. For some time past the Com- missioners have been engaged in scruti- nizing the many varieties of garbag2-dis- posal ideas that have found their way into practical operation, and as a result comes the conclusion that one or two of the systems would be satisfactory to them. But—maybe because all the available in- formation has not been secured and pub- lished—the people are inclined to the belief that even when the best of these :ncinera- tion-plants has been installed there -vill at times be more or less of undesirable odor issuing therefrom, thus making residence in the immediate vicinity of the plant ex- tremely disagreeable and probably un- healthy. The Star sympathizes with those Washingtonians who protest against the Commissioners’ proposition to install gar- bage furnaces in three different parts of the city, and hopes that the Comm#ission- ers will reconsider their plans, «nd in making new ones will provide for the con- struction, as far as reasonably may be be- yond the city limits, of a reduction or an incineration plant sufficient in capacity to get rid of the large quantity of refuse which accumulates in Washington every day. The only apparent reason for erect- Ing three crematories is a desire to make the work of garbage-collection as easy as Possible for the contractor. Effort in he- half of the contractor is merely a work of supererogation on the part of the Com- missioners, for the contractor has ‘more than once demonstrated his ability—with the aid of the political influence he never hesitates to use—to at least take care of his own. The Commissioners are the agents of the taxpayers of the District of Columbla; therefore it should be their pleasure to let the contractor hoe his own row while they do the best they can in be- half of the entire community. This is a matter that concerns not merely those cit- izens who reside in the neighborhoods threatened by the Commissioners and the garbage ccentractor. The Knights of Labor motto: “The injury of one is the concern of all,” applies precisely. If it is right to locate a garbage incinerator in South Washington !t would be logically right to put one on Dupont Circle. Locality inere- fore cuts no figure at all in the argument. The crematories, whether they be good, bad or indifferent, should be placed at some point as reascnably remote as pos- sible from the populous portion of the District of Columbia. ——_+ = —____ Local Option in New York. New York politicians are assuming a significant attitude on the excise question, which has become such an interesting is- sue since Mr. Thecdore Roosevelt demon- strated that laws on the statute books for the regulation of the liquor traffic can be enforced. The republican state convention under the prompting of Warner Miller, and in opposition to the policy of silence favored by Boss Platt, pledged the party to the “maintenance” of the Sunday closing law. Word is now received from Syracuse that Senator Hill, personally a strict abstainer, and the comander of the situation at the democratic convention, has sent forth the order that local eption must be the battle cry. He will probably call it “home rule in the matter of excise,” but that is mere- ly a paraphrase for the older and better understood shibboleth. It is to be ques- tioned whether this change of heart is dictated by moral considerations rather than political desires to placate the great- est number of voters. But whatever the cause, the fact remains that there is a de- cided drift toward a new settlement of the Fquor question in this field. Undoubtedly the liquor interest is a strong element in a state with so many large cities as New York, and there is a meaning reference in the tentative platform on this subject that has been promulgated to meet the “needs of the large cities.” It now remains to be tested whether the cities that favor local option can out-vote the rural communities that favor ‘dry’ Sundays. ———__++-___~- ‘The objection to William Morris for the position of British poet-laureate because of his social theories is rather small. The government need not order any poems on political economy from him. +2 ——_ Georgia has come pretty near letting poli- tics altogether alone, for the first time in her lite, 39 much has the exposition en- grossed her attention. —___+ + +____ After what has just happened nobody will undertake to accuse the weather depart- mert of a luke-warm administration. ————__ + ee Washington will extend to Dr. Talmage, the most eminent of modern pulpit orators, a cordial welcome. —__- + e-- Honor to Whom Honor is Due. Some days ago The Star announced that the Secretary of War had directed that in the new army regulations it shall be pro- vided that when the colors are being Jowered at “retreat” in all posts or camps where there is a band, the band shall play “The Star Spangled Banner.” The main idea—that of honoring the Stars and Stripes —is altogether «commendable, but those whose musical knowledge antedates last week must be aware that the air which Secretary Lamont insists shall be played each evening wherever there are military musicians sufficient in number and ability to make the attempt is wholly. English. Attention been directed many times to the remarkable paucity of American airs sulted to American poetry and to the inter- national confusion which undoubtedly re- sults from our practice of using borrowed airs as our own. It really would not be a matter of much consequence if such petty larceny was confined merely to street songs and to musical productions of a generally low grade, but when we unblushingly appro- priate the music of the old English ode “To Anacreon in Heaven” ard insist upon the world’s accepting our combination of that melody and Key's inspiring verse as one of our national anthems we do something as inexcusable as the offense we commit when we loudly declare that “God Save the Queen” is “America.” There is therefore nothing patriotic in the playing of “To Anacreon in Heaven” when “retreat” is sounded at band-blessed army posts. The inspiration, the soul, is in the words which were, without license, wedded to the pil- fered tune. If the Secretary of War desires to add to the ceremonial respect which is and which ought to be displayed toward the national flag and believes that “The Star Spangled Banner” may be used to good effect, he should order that some suitable officer or enlisted man shall stand at the foot of the flagstaff and recite one or more verses of Key’s poem as the colors come downward. ——__+ + ____ Business Principles Instend of Politics President Cleveland is now engaged in leading the consular service out of the miry clay of partisan politics and he wiil, it is reasonable to expect, complete the gcod work of converting the consular serv- | ice from a political bureau into the com- mercial power it ought te be before his term of office coms to an end. There were Prcebably reasons that seemed to him sufli- cient which prevented his taking the en- tire consular service in beneath the shelter of the civil service law, but it ought not to be difficult to prove to him or to any other reasorirg being that it would be better for the ccuntry were spoils methods entirely eliminated from the State Department branch of the administration. Under the old system there was occasionally ap- pointed a really good consul, byt the next Presidential electio1 frequently resuited in the official decapitation of even the fittest. It will now be possible to give bus! s E38 principles a chance where political preju- dices and preferences have heretofore held sway. —__ + + + ___ Sympathy for people who may ‘-mpo- rarily be obliged to occupy a little more time in travel because of the substitution of horse for the deadly overhead wire is wasted. Rapid transit is a certain accom- paniment of the increase of suburban pop- ulation, and it could not be prevented even if there were any desire to retard it. But this is not a community where the com- mercial pressure is such as to warrant the risk of life and limb in a hysterical d to cover the greatest amount of space in the shortest possible space of time. The overhead trolley was palpably a temporary expedient. Inventive genius could not rest content with so clumsy and unsafe a meth- od of applying electric force. It soon sur- passed it, and the fruits of the spirit of scientific progress re already to be found in this city. Washington can afford to wait for the best; and, even if the horse-car is a little slow, it is not so slow as a hearse. Having successfully pressed the Atlania Expositicn button Mr. Cieveland will re- sume his former occupation of groping around for the third-term bell rope. ——__ e+.
