6 THE EVENING STAR, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1895-TWELVE PAGES. THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. THURSDAY............Oetober 17, 1895. CROSBY S. NOYES...............-Editor. THE EVENING STAR has a regular nd permanent Family Circulation much more than the combined cir- ecalation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. ¢7In order to delnys, an ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any fndividual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- menta, according to tenor or purpose. — Typhoid the Result of Drouth. An Interview in yesterday's Star with Dr. C. G. Stone threw a good deal of light upon the cause of the prevalence of typhoid fever in this vicinity. This has been an excep- tionally dry season and the Potomac river and the springs and wells in the District have fallen to a stage that endangers the purity of the water, but this result of the drouth is felt all over the country. The health returns from all quarters show that there has been a marked increase in the prevalence of this disease gn all regions where the drouth kas been excessive, and auring the last few days information has ‘come from Pittsburg stating that the Ohio river and its sources, the Monongahela and the Allegheny, are so low that the drinking water of not only Pittsburg but of all the other cities on those water courses has be- come laden with disease. To quote from one dispatch: “The reports from Kentucky de- scribe awful sufferings for lack of water. Typhotd fever is prevalent everywhere and the landscaps without a funeral procession in view is rare.” Such a condition of course does not exist here nor can it evér exist In the case of a community dependent upon such a noble river as the Potomac for its source of supply. The Ohio is notably a shallow stream and is subject to period- leal low stages that affect the commercial Prosperity as well as the health of the country through which it passes. Pools of stagnant water thus form in which the natural drainage of the soil, with all its elements of disease, gradually accumulates, and the marvel Is that there fs not more fever than really exists. At Washington the problem of prevention is comparatively simple. There is no lack of supply; though the river is at a low stage, t is no fear that it will fall to such a point that actually polluted water will find its way into the city’s pipes. Still there is envugh danger of pollution from up-stream sources to warrant a thorough investigation of the entire watershed through which the water flows by a committee of experts, to whom Congress should give means and authority that will enable them to deter- mine with exactness the degree of possible infection. Dr. Stone's observations about cases cf the disease traced directly to the use of polluted water from springs and wells as well as rivers show that the situa- tion In this vicinity, and especially in the suburban districts, 1s serious enough to cause every householder to have every particle of water and of milk consumed by the family boiled before using. This simple precaution is almost wholly sufficient to prevent the disease, and to neglect it is an act of folly. In the mean- time the use of water from the old wells of the city should be entirely abandoned. — > e+=___ Obsolete Warfare. The old-time methods of warfare often excite the scorn of the present generation. The Chinaman with his masks, his gongs and his bombardments of evil smells has become more than ever an object of derision since his collision with the quiet, business- Uke Japanese warrior. The preliminary epithets were as profuse as in a yard- ful of belligerent school boys, but they counted for nothing. In the political cam- paign in New York (and, in fact, the mant- festations are not strictly indigenous to Gotham) these old ideas of combat prevail to a great degree, despite our boasts of oc- cidental supericrity. There is serious bus- iness to be done at the polls. But the solid shot of common-sense argument is handled in a manner which is almost listless com- pared with the diligence displayed in de- vising hideous effigies and uncanny noises. Strange words are set afloat upon the at- mosphere—words which are more terrible because of the mysterious horror of what they might mean than of what they do mean. Libels on the human race are pic- tured with the names of the foe scrawled under them, in much the same spirit as that of the schoolboy who blazons on @he blackboard his sentiments toward the teacher. In the current campaign the gongs are being sounded; the flery dragons and devil-chasers are a-splutter; the malodorous incense of personal abuse is being’ launched in the breeze regardless of the fact that in the present stage of civilization these things are the merest vanity. They deceive no- body except their perpetrators. The effect- ive work is done by the candid declaration of principle; the honest argument in favor of what some honest man thinks is right and reasonable. ee Preparing for Charitable Work. This is unquestionably the best time for starting the year’s work of providing the means of caring for the poor of the city during the stress of winter. It Is a sad mistake to wait until the pressure of pov- erty is already on the community, and those interested in charitable efforts have in past years realized this fact. ‘The board of trade last winter did a good deal toward organizing the charitable agencies of the city, which had been somewhat scattered and hence inharmonious, and it is well that steps have been taken by that insti- tution now for the winter's work. There is no better means of centralizing and sys- tematizing the relief of the poor than the board of trade, with its great variety of interests, its powerful membership and its facilities for gathering and digesting the statistical information from other cities that is of great value in such an effort. It is to be hoped that such meetings as that of Tuesday will follow throughout the sea- son of preparation, and that words of ad- vice may be heard from other clties than Baltimore, where good work among the poor has been done. + = A great many poets are envying Lord Sackville his luck in gétting into print with- out trying. ——_-—_ se There were about fifty men at work on the city post office today. ——_- + e+ ___ __ Railroads and Street Improvements. A Wisconsin court has decided that rail- road tracks are not benefited by street im- provements and are therefore not subject to assessment for such improvement. The converse of that proposition Is of great in- terest to Washingtonians. Is the railroad whose tracks occupy the public streets Mable for the depreciation of property caused by the existence of those tracks in the thoroughfares whose legitimate use Is thus {mpeded? It may be strictly true in law that the railroads should not be taxed to pay for improvements of streets. But In the case of the Eckington road in its occupancy of G street, The Star has urged that the corporation, having increased the value of the street for business purposes and having attracted to it an increase of traffic that redounded to its own benefit, should bear its share of the burden of expense involved when the street was widened, an improve- ment which alded the road as much as the owners of property. “In the case of a steam railroad, which was at issue in the Wisconsin suit, the situation is different, as there is nothing in the character ‘of the steam road that can possibly benefit the city territory “through which it passes. Every year of such occupation detracts from the value of the street to the com- munity at large. If the taxpayers should engage in an enterprise to reduce the evils thus caused and to equip the street with better facilities for traffic, the railroad should be held for a part of the cost on the ground that it was primarily the cause of the necessity for such improvements. Tnere is nothing at hand at present to indicate the effect of this decision, as it is not cer- tain whether the court was of inferior or superior jvrisdiction. Washingtonians, how- ever, will certainly hope that such a princi- ple of law will never be allowed to find lodgment in local courts. The streets in Washingtor that are occupied by railroads are at present too theroughly abandoned to the corporations to be worth much in the way of repairing or improvement, so that the question may never arise here in just the form presented to the Wisconsin court. —_____+ + —____ To Relieve the James Creek Canal. Capt. Beach of the District engineer de- partment, has outlined a plan of relief for the James Creek canal that is worthy of serious and favorable consideration by Congress. This source of pestilence should not be allowed to endanger the lives of the citizers of Washington any longer than the time that must elapse between the meeting of Congress and the completion of some such system of intersecting sewers as that which Capt. Beach suggests. The details Of the plan, printed elsewhere in The Star today, show that this officer has made a careful, study of the situation and has adapted the remedy to the peculiar nature of the ground drained by the sew- ers that flow into the canal. It is a great undertaking that he proposes, but it is far from being an experiment and will un- questionably be well worth the expendi- ture and will prove a benefit to the Dis- trict that cannot be measured in figures. ‘There Is no way to estimate the loss of life due to the Influence of this open sewer that pollutes the atmosphere of the entire southern section of the city. Modern.en- gineering is surely capable of coping with such an emergency. The difficulty has never been the lack of adequate means of relief, but a total want of appreciation by the legislators of the vital importance of speedily and effectively providing a system of drainage that will prevent such accumu- lations of filth as are daily found in the sluggish current that flows into the East- ern Branch from this canal-sewer. ——_—_~+=-—___ The executive committee of the National Republican League made a mistake yes- terday in deciding to give Washington the £0-by in the choice of headquarters. It was confidently expected that Chicago, the present home of the league, and a stubborn candidate for continued preferment, would be beaten by the national capital, as the Beneral officers of the organization had declared in favor of this city. But on a vote Chicego was chosen by a large ma- jority and the headquarters will remain away from here for a little longer. Event- ually the managers of this and every other similar organization will come to realize that political centrality is far more de- sirable in such a direction than geographi- cal position, and to this city will undoubt- edly come the chief oflices of a great ma- jority of national organizations —— e=_____ France has three hundred senators, while this country has but elghty-eight. This may go far toward explaining why the French government has, on an average, something more than three times as much trouble as that of the United Staves. ——+ ++ ____ The small boy is not the only person who is persuaded to be an his best behavior by the assurance that he may some day be President of the United States. Some of the country’s most prominent statesmen are now in the same position. —————~.e+__ It is amusing to see towns which already have more population than they can make @ pretence of decently accommodating try- ing to pose as ideal convention cities. ——+2e—____ Among the revivals in business may be mentioned the increased demand which the campaign will make upon the versatile re- sources of the statistician.

The Only Exception. “So your husband is running for office,” said ome woman. “Yes.” ‘Keeps him® pretty busy, I suppose.” ery busy.” ‘Kissed all the babies in the county, hasn't he?” “No; not all. He hasn’t had time to even say howd’ye do to his own babies in the last three weeks.” Her Apprehension. Good sir, do you propose to me— ‘With care the question note— Because my husband you would be, Or do you want my vote? A Similarity. “Senator Sorghum seems mighty liberal an’ fair-minded in his speeches,” said the man who does chores. “Yes,” replied Farmer Corntossel. “He's jes’ like my hen. When we don’t keer fur eggs she lays like sixty, but ez soon ez they gits scarce she ain’t nowhere’s 'round.”” Why He Objected. He was a sedately dressed man whose countenance was thoughtful and whose literary taste as shown by the books which he carried with him to read on the train indicated that he was a man of learned at- tainments. Even the brakeman was moved to assume a respectful manner. As he leaned over him to open the window he said: “Excuse me, pecfessor.”” The old gentleman was on his feet in an instant, his eyes flashing angrily. “Needn’t git mad,” the brakeman said. “I've gotter ten’ ter me business.” “I don’t care how much you attend to your business. But don’t you ever again call me anything but ‘mister.’ Don’t you dare to call me professor. I am neither a dancing master, a prize-fighter nor a jug- gler, and I have therefore no right to the title.” A Fallacious Justification. “What makes them lynch people?” asked the boy who thirsts for knowledge. “Te show others that the law must be obeyed.” “But isn’t lynching against the law?” “‘Why-er—of course—oh, run along to bed, child!” Not Conclusive. Just as the small boy's glances shy Are bent upon the neighbor's pie, ~ ‘The candidates withhold consent To be put up for President.
