NOYES...............-Edltor, =— - THB EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent Family Circulation uch more than the combined cir- culation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. -_ In order te avoid delnys, on ne- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any fadividual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Busiuess Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. THE EVENING STAR, MONDAY, DECEMBER ligently by the Post Office. Department in the past few months. Two and perhaps several more of these cars could be utilized te great advantage should the experimental service prove satisfactory. A car running up and down Seventh street and one tra- versing the Fourteenth street branch would effectually cover the city so far as the Capi- tal Trattion Company is concerned. There might also be a car run eastward from the junction of Ninth and F streets on the Met- ropolitan line and back, although the serv- ice to Capitol Hill thus afforded will prob- atly be effectually supplied by the Navy Yard car. The northeast section, however, should be supplied by a car on the-Columbia road and this would completely cover the city service. A proper extension of this system could be made into the suburbs and gt is not too much to expect that in a com- paratively short time the entire District will be supplied with mail facilities of the most modern sort. — = No Quarter for Grade aa Dr. Gallaudet’s letter to The Star, printed elsewhere today, calling attention to a rcent narrow escape from death at a grade crossing experienced by members of his femily, is a characteristic introduction to the present Congress of the campaign against grade-crossings in the District. Dr. Gallaudet has been for several years one of the most energetic and intelligent aniagonists of this dangerous nuisance, and with.ample reason, for the institution over which he presides is entirely cut off from communication with the city except by such means of access as include one and in most cases two crossings over the Balt!- more and Ohio tracks at grade. Students of the deaf mute college have too often been the victims of unprotected grade crossings In the past, and this time the wife and daughters of one of Washington's Most valued citizens were placed In grave peril. The facts of the episode show that the crossing In question was wholly un- protected and Dr. Gallaudet's letter to the Commissioners ts evidence on which prose- cution might easily rest against the -ail- road company for failing to protect its tracks during the hours of its use by trains. Dr, Gallaudet’s letter should be Tread by every member of Congress, and there ought to be no question as to its effect upon their minds. It weuld be bad enough if the citizens were constantly an- noyed by the occupation of the streets at grade by railroads, even with such means of protection as would practically guard against accident, but it is a double evil for the streets to be occupied without any guarantee whatever against disaster. The system of gates and watchmen is wholly useiess if it cannot be relied upon at all hours and all seasons. The grade-cross- ing evil long ago became intolerable. Dr. Gallaudet’s experience is that of many other Washingtonians, and some of them have not been so fortunate as he in avoid- ing the threatened collision. ‘The position that he taxes in his letter is-the platform upon which all the citizens who are work- ing and hoping for the abolition of the present system of tracks should adopt as their own. The ratlroads must be forced to do this thing regardless of any further pleas for time on the ground of the expense entailed by the change. The grade-cross- ings have given no quarter to the people in the past and they should receive none from the people now. $$$ The Health of the District. Healthful as are the climatic conditions surrounding the citizens of Washington the fact remuins, as indicated by the annual report of the Commisstoners, that the death rate of the city of Washington, as com- pared with the capitals of Europe, is still too High, and there is ground for belief that the rellef to be afforded in certain directions by the legislation for which the Commissioners ask will enable the local authorities to ameliorate the conditions that now tend to keep the death rate among the colored people at its present stage. The unusual amount of space ac- corded to this subject in the Commission- ers’ report shows the high relative value which they give to it, and indeed no other Matter could come so closely to the vital interests of the people. Unquestionably the most important item of reform in this regard is that of the establishment of a new and comprehensive system of sewers that would drain the efty completely with- out polluting the air or the sources of water supply. Local experiences indicate that complete imminity from pestilentlal diseases of a zymotic nature can never be obtained until the authorities have power to supplement a perfect sewer system by abolishing all other means of drainage and by putting an end to the dangerous and filthy custom of disposing of human excre- ment and other refuse that now prevails in some quarters. The Commissioners have already done good work by closing certain polluted wells, but this work must be carried further, and this cannot be done until the present laws are amended In the direction of an enlargement of the Com- missioners’ authority. Some steps have been taken, also, In the direction of a more modern system of garbage disposal, but the results obtained have not yet been such as to leave nothing undesired, and, indeed, the local installation can at present be regarded at best as only experimental. There is grave need, tco, of some system of refuse disposal that will prevent the accumulation of dumping piles. Hospitals are needed to reinforce the present outfit and the Commissioners’ recommendations in this line ought to result In generous legislation by Congress. Nothing should be left undone the accomplishment of which would result in the decrease of the death rate in the District by a fraction of a per cent, and bring the city nearer to becoming the most healthful of the world’s capitals. —__ + e+ ‘The promptness with which the declara- tion by Thomas B. Reed that this Congress will take the slightest possible risk of dis- turbing the industries of the country is eeized upen as a vindication of the tariff now ia force was to be foreseen. And yet the havoe likely to arise from plunging ,the untrained and unwieldy aggregation row at the Capitol into general and radical terlff legislation would be fraught with in- evitable injury to business interests such 4s to make almost any alternative worthy of consideration. ——> ¢ = ____ A movement is on foot in Honolulu to es- amp of Sons of Veterans, This is American organization, and this effort in the far-off city of the Pacific shows how thoroughly the institutions of the United States have taken root in Hawali, oe — ‘The Congressional Record may be lacking in brilliancy at times, but it fs s isfying know that its columns will not be open to rd Dunraven. > ¢-___ lent minority ts free to observe that Reed has been sworn both at and in. ee ee Street-Car Mail Service. Washington conditions are favorable to ‘a su ful trial of the experiment of run- { ning mail cars on the street-railroads and the forthcoming installation of a car on the main line of the Capital Traction Company, Tu ug from Georgetown to the Navy Yard, will be watched with Interest. By such a m {t will be possible for a resi- dent of the west end to write in the morning to a friend in the extreme southeastern sec- tion of the cy and to receive a reply in the early afternoon in season, perhaps, to send The Mr. @ second missive to his correspondent sev- eral miles away, at a minimum cost. This will be a great slep ahead in city postal facilities and if it can be accomplished, of which there seems to be no doubt at pres- ent, it will effectually demonstrate the practicability of the street-car mail serv- ice idea which has been taken up so intal- Soe A Municipal Building. Of all the projects of public improve- ment which recessity cemands for the Dis- trict of Columbia, none is of more pressing importence than that for the erection of a municipal building to take the place of the inadequate quarters now rented from pri- vate owners. The Commissioners in their arnual report, submitted today to the Pres- ident and through him to Congres3, cull attention to this need in plain and unmis- takable terms and, as was expected, renew their recommendation of an appropriation of $100,000 to begin the erection of such a structure. It is unfortunate that struggles ever sites In the past should have so an- noyed Congress in locating public buildings as to render it advisable in the present case for the Commissioners to be willing to encroach upon a public reservation for such @ purpose. The municipal building of the District should be erected on land pur- chased particularly for that object some- where on Pennsylvan‘a avenue, which, as the nation’s historic street, is wisely to be developed as the thoroughfare of public buildings. If public land is to be used the occupation of the space next to the market house 01 Pennsylvania avenue, long ago set apart by Congress as the site of a city hall, should first be sought. If the situa- tion should be such as to bar out any Pennsylvania avenue site, then the Judi- ciary Square location would suggest itself. The figures presented by the Commission- ers showing the cost of city hall buildings in other leading cities of the country are humiliating to the pride of Washingtont- ans and should stimulate the members of Congress to such a degree of respect for the national capital as will lead to th speedy enactment of legislation providing for the erection of a municipal office here that will be in point of convenience and architecture second to none in the country. ae ee ‘The new and retiring Members of Congress as residents of Washington, will, it is hoped, feel a proper local pride and responsibility concerning it. It is the home not only of the greatest government in the world, but of an independent community of taxpayers, who stand ready to meet the assembled states- men of the republic half-way in any enter- prise that tends to make it worthy of its dignity among cities. ——_—_—+ e+ _____ This is the time for men who make a bus- iness of doing that kind of thing to studi- ously guess what Congress will do with a view to claiming the entire credit for it when it is accomplished. —~+ e = —____ Mr. Crisp may contemplate proceedings with the calm which comes to a maa who has set out with a purpose and accomplish- ed it.
