6 —————E———————————— THE EVENING STAR, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1895—-SEXTEEN PAGES. THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. FRIDAY.... .. December 6, 1895. CROSBY S. NOYES. -Edlitor. THE EVENING STAR has a regulur and permanent Family Circulation much more than the combined cir- culation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. In order to avoid deinys, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should -not be addres: to any individual connected with the ofMfce, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Edftorin! or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. = - Short Walks for Congressmen. Yesterday The Star's guiding finger, direct- ing the steps of intelligently curious legis- laters, was pointed northward from the Capitol toward the decrepit and dangerous printing office; today let it swing around almost In a half-circle to the James Creek Canal, a little to the west of south of the rational legislative halls. It ls near at hand —too near, in fact, for the welfare of con- gressional health—so that it can be reached very quickly. This is not the most favor- able time of year for startling results from such a visitation, for the canal is compara- tively well behaved at this season. But the investigators will undoubtedly get sufficient evidence of the capabilities of this malaria- breeding Stream if they venture within range of the smells that emanate from its composite contents. This canal is no more than a sewer, open’ to the air, foul with pestilential influences, a potent factor in elevating the death-rate, and a drag on the cod repute ef the nation's capital. “A plan Was recently formulated for a divergence of the sewers that now lead into this chan- rel, which, if-carried out in works, would destroy the pestilential character of the canal. Its consummation would cost a round sum which, however, is insignificant in view of the fact that this canal as It ts today 1s responsible for a great part of the sickness and death suffered by the dwellers in a sec- tion of the city equal to fully one-fifth of the entire area of Washington. As a matter of fact, the canal has always been consider- ed a mere malipshift, a temporary plan for the disposal cf the sewage of this part of town, to be remedied as soon as possible. The best talents of the army engineers sta- tioned here heve been applied to the problem of supplanting it with permanent, sanitary arrangements, and there is no lack of sound advice concerning remedies. But the mat- ter is neglected from year to year, and men, women and children sicken and die along its banks, and yet the retief that is so sorely reeded comes not. Every tide that sweeps up the river forces back the sluggish cur- rent of the canal and adds to the danger. Will the present Congress, seeing and smell- ing this open sewer, realize the uegency of the need of some relief, and abate the nulsance? —_—-—_ + +s. Another Victim of the Race Tracks. An employe of a local institution whose wrong-doing was discovered yesterday has confessed that/his peculations were inspired by a desire to recoup for losses incurred at the race-tracks across the river. It is an eld story. The gambling devices have found another victim. They could not ex- ist if they were not supplied with means by the men who afte led to believe that they -™may Win fortunes by risking small sums. ‘This case should be presented to Virginia’s legislature in all the details of its pitiful sigmificance. The life of a bright young man with a promising future has been blighted. It will not suffice to urge in de- fence that the race track managers are not to be held accountable for such a misfortune because they were merely the passive and unconscious agents of this man’s down- fall. They are maintaining establishments that tempt men to risk their means and in seme cases the means of other people, and they are furnishing an easy method of gam- bling in the most alluring form of that vice. They may just now be beyond tne reach of the law, but in the eye of the community they are condemned. The Virginia race- tracks are the only ones doing business in America today. All others have closed at the approach of winter and have thus shown some small consideration for decency and good order. Those in this neighborhood, however, are running along, day after day, in heat and in cold, in rain and In sunshine, in mud and in ice. The farce of driving peor specimens of horse-flesh around the frozen tracks is kept up to comply with the terms of the law which is held to permit a scandalous avcidance of the higher statutes of public morality. How long will this dan- gerous evil be allowed to exist? —-—_ +e An Impadent Emissary. A malicious, meddling foreigner has come to this country endéavoring to create in this land of liberty and. of the broadest |. tolerance toward all people—except trouble- breeders—such an anti-Semitic feeling as has existed in Russia, Austria and Ger- many im late Sears. This man, Herr Ahl- wardt, is the leader of the Jew haters in the German reichstag and the emissary here of those intolerant, cruel socteties that Im the three countries named have caused great suffering among the Hebrews. His mission is an impudent one that should and probably will be resented by every hon- est and intelligent citizen. It is a waste of energy for him to seek here to create anti-Semitic sentiments of the violent and riotous sort that he represents. A more foolish embassy could not possibly be con- ceived. There is In America not a particle of that bigoted and cruel intolerance of the Jews that exists in the Teutonic and Slavonic nations of Europe. They are good citizens, sober, industrious and prosperous, attentive to their own affairs and charitable toward the poor and unfcrtunate. Herr Ahlwardt faces today a combination of ccnditions that may be utterly rew to him; he is evidently without the htest ac- quaintance with American sertiments and American: history if he is serious in hi proposa! to establish Jew-baiting societies on thes» sho e dedicated to the widest personal liberty that the world has ever known. —____++ One of the aaiunistration’s greatest prob- lems is the attainment of a discreet, digni- fed medium between timidity and jingo- ism.

Philadelphia sourded a loud note of pro- domination of the s of that city, and Union Traction Company doubt- s the full import of the revolt. held in the Academy of Music was a remarkable gathering in point of size, quality and temper. Men noted in the nation voiced the resentment of the people at the usurpation of privileges by the great monopoly now in complete coatrol of the street railways of the city, and their words were echoed by the cheers of thousands of citi: s of intelligence and hich standing. It a monstrous protest which the com- mon council of the city and the legislature of the state should and probably will heed speedily A ver in the form of enact- ments that will compel the combined roads to restore the free transfer system that the people requive and have every reason to expect. It is seldom that the peo- ple protest so plainly and emphatically as they did last night in Philade!- phia, but when they do they evidently less reall The meetin mean business and~ propose fo carry on the warfare to the end. They are vot- ers and men of influence, and their resent- meni, if not acknowledged now by the leg- islators, will surely take the form later of ballots that will drive from power the friends of the monopoly that has hitherto acted with supreme indifference to the reeds or desires of its patrons. Detroit 1s also passing through an experience with her tramways that is interesting to the people of Washington who are naturally concerned as to all street-railway problems, wkerever they occur. Mayor Pingree has teken up the cause of the citizens in his usual vigorous manner, and has served rotice on the company that seeks a renewal of its charter that it must sell eight tickets for 25 cents, issue universal transfers free, permit the Joint use of its tracks by other roads within half a mile of the city hall, and must permit municipal ownership of its tracks at any time when appropriate leg- islation can be obtained. For the United States thece propositions are radical and startling; in the light of what has been accomplished in Glasgow the mayor's pro- sram appears reasonable. Similar corpor- ations everywhere may well take warning from the attitude of the people of Detroit and Philadelphia, and voluntarily make to the community more adequate returns in better and cheaper service for the gratui- tous use of the streets and other public privileges which they enjoy. ——__+ «= Local Civil Service. It is gratifying to note that the Commis- sioners in their annual report have followed up the movement toward civil service reform in the District offices, upon which they en- tered a few months.ago, As they say in this document, “the reasons which enforce the civil service system for the federal govern- ment apply in a higher degree to this mu- nicipality.” Indeed, this is an ideal field for the establishment of a reform system of ad- ministration such as the civil service law contemplates, and it is a marvel that the principfes of civil service reform were not applied here first of all, for the non-partisan character of the local government prac- tically insures a fair and complete test of the workings of a system which depends upon merit and efficiency for foundations. It was hoped at one time that the President would see his way clear to issue an order placing the District offices under the civil service law, and there was sreat disappoint- ment among the more progressive citizens of the District when it was discovered that he had no such authority. The Commission- ers, however, attempted to supply this de- ficiency by adopting their own system of appointments, with the merit rule as a basis, but, as they explain in their report, they have no funds to defray the expenses of examinations, without which the system caunot be effectively applied. It is to be hoped that the President will lend his power- ful aid to their effort to secure the necessary legislation to supply this deficiency. —_— 0 The Countess Castellane is said to be homesick.
