Balley, who fs a candidate Yor election as delegate to the natlonal republican conven- tion in St. Louts, June 16, and who fs san- guine of success against the many other contestants for the honcr, inaugurated last night a campaign of education for the pur- pose of furthering Mr. Bailey’s chances. The meeting was held in the leeture hall of the Capital Savings Bank building, under the auspices of the L. C. Balley Campaign Club. Mr. John Freeman presided, and there was a large attendance and an en- thuslastic reception of ‘the various speeches, all of which were émphatic in their praises of Mr. Bailey. Mr. Bailey was held up as a gentleman who would best rep- resent the superior intelligence and wisdom of the republicans of the District. The republicans residing in the northeast section of the city also held a meeting ‘last night and organized an L. C. Bailey Club, with Mr. L. C. Fletcher as president.

Russell of North Dakota as saying, at the immigration convention, that the corn belt was moving northward, following the civilization of the soll by wheat. Wheat was a great civilizer of the soil, and its ef- fect was to prepare the soil for corn, which eccounted for the steady advance of the corn belt northward. We suppose Mr. Russell uses the word “civilize” In an adapted sense, though hero at the east we look upon corn, potatoes, roots, etc., as preparers of the soil for wheat and other grains, the finer product availing itself of the previcus long-continued work- ing of the soil. It may be, however, that at the west, in lack of regular rotation, the wheat roots furnish that mass of vegetable fiber on which the corn delights to feed, and so the latter follows instead of precedes. ee Watchman Lowg’s Funeral.

ARGUMENTS AGAINST THE SITE Some Interesting Questions Affect- ing the Controversy. OTHER DISTRICT - MATTERS —_—>—_— Speaking of the protest made by resi- dents of the West End yesterday against the location of the garbage crematory on 24th street near N street, Commissioner Truesdell said to a Star reporter this morning that {t would be some time yet in all probability before a definite decision is reached in the matter. In case it was decided to abandon the site {It would be necessary to select a new one, and this would require a considerable amount of time and labor and might even require some special legislation from Congress on the subject. A decision may be rendered in the ordinary course of events when ap- plication {s made for a permit to erect the crematory. The Commissioners, he said, find themselves vretty busy just now with Congress in session, and much Dis- trict legislation to look after, and as the crematory site does not have to be sct- tled at once it will probably not receive careful attention for several days, !f not for a couple of weeks. It is very evident that the people of that section of the city do not Intend to let the matter drop, either now or later, and one of the most prominent of them said to a Star reporter today that if necessary the whole matter would be called to the attention of Congress and relief would be asked fot» Another hearing will also be asked of the Commissioners, as many of those who are greatly interested in the location of the crematory did not know of the hearing. It was held mainly at the instance of the West End League, of which, of course, not all of them are members. Another volley was fired at the Com- YMmissioners today in the form of a prot from Messrs. Britton & Gray, the attorne of Mrs. Hearst, whose house is at New Hampshire avenue and 20th street, quite near the proposed site of the crematory, and who is very much In earnest in her intention to fight the proposition. Their letter ts based largely on the expression of opinion from the Commissioners, as voiced In the report of Health Officer Woodward, which was made public through The Star yesterday. The letter says: “In common with the many residents and property owners in that most valuable and prominent residence section of the cit ml wherein we are all personally included, Mrs. Hearst justly believes that what Is offensive and dangerous to health should not be inflicted arbitrarily upon them, nor the value of property enhanced by costly residences deliberately assailed, nor, 1 deed, that such crematory should be plac anywhere except upon or beyond the cit. limits and farthest away from the centers of population. “The locaticn of the crematory as pro- pesed could not be justified in any view under any conditions be either offensive to smell or injurious to health. From today’s issue of The Evening Star we note the at- tached clipping, giving the ‘results’ of Health Officer Woodward's recent visit to Philadelphia and Atlantic City. With re- spect to the Philadelphia crematory, he states: ““The only nuisance arising from it at that time was due, in my opinion, to care- less dumping of the carts, whereby the garbage was permitted to roast and smoulder outside of the furnace its “We suggest that what thus admittedly exists in Philadelphia may and will quite as readily and certainly be experienced here. The character of the labor neces- sarily employed at such works will cer- tainly be such that carelessness and in- difference will occur—it cannot be pre- vented. The citizens within a large radius will thus suffer directly both offensive odors and the greater injury to health. The published report dees not disclose the location of the Philadelphia crematory. We do not believe it is on or near Broad street, or Spring Garden street, or other choice localities of that city corresponding to that in Washington which is thus threatened. “Dr. Woodward's thus published report on the Philadelphia crematory {ramediately adds to the foresoing “Some smoke arose from the stack: while I was near by, but if any odor orig. inated from this source it could not be distinguished by me.” ‘But the good doctor had just declared that the only nuisance arising from it at the same time was due ‘to careless dump- ing of the certs, whereby the garbage was permitted to roast and smoulder outside of the furnace Itself."| With that admitted and perceptible odor then present the doc- tor certainly could not have ‘distinguished a separate odor arising from the stack. The odor from the careless dumping was present, for the doctor so reports, and as any odor from the stack would be of the same kind, we can understand that even the doctor's experienced olfactorics could not distinguisa degrees in the same oGor, nor perceive an cdor from the top of the stack when the cdor from carel. dumping near the ground filled his nostrils. The portion of Dr. Woodward's Atlantic City inspection report, as thus published, states that a second crematory was there built, with departures from the original de- sign, and with resulting failure. He adds: “Its failure resulted in the accumulation of thousands of tons of garbage in the yard of the crematory; and this putrefying mass is at present being removed, with a resulting odor that is better conceived of than smelt.” All the works of man are {mperfect, and it may happen that even the proposed cre- matory may become disabled. What then will be the condition? Does not the doc- tor's description of the situation at At- lantic City fully answer the inquiry? Could such a thing be imagined as existing in the very choicest portion of Washington’s resi- dence property, and placed there by your voluntary action? There are many places where the crematory may be placed far be- yend such annoyance and positive danger. Conceding, for argument's sake, that your power te so act is absolute—‘many things are lawful which are not expedient.” Is it the wise, just or commendable exercise cf discretion to disregard and deny the unani- mous protests of hundreds of citizens and taxpayers? Does tke golden rule of con- duct fail in application to the administra- ticn of our municipal affairs? Or does its operation cease when the citizen has no voice at the ballot box to correct his wrongs? Would these protestants vote this nuisance upon themselves? Whom do the Commissioners represent when they vote its jeelios against the unanimous pro- test The appropriation act which impliedly authorizes this crcmatory also provides (1) for a smallpox hospital upon the extreme eastern edge of the city, and far removed from the centers of our population, and (2) that no hospital for minor contagious dis- eases shall be located or used within 300 feet of any dwelling. Did Congress antici- pate a crematery for offal and garbage would be placed in the finest residence sec- tion of the capital? Had it done so, can any one doub: Its prohibition would have been strongly and pis expressed? Even we are theoretically within the con- stitutional guarantees of “‘life, liberty and property,” but when life and property are thus directly assailed liberty becomes of no importance. The threatened wrong is too grievous. Even disenfranchised taxpayers will not be thus punished, for we are con- fident that the Commissioners will rescind their action. A Half Day Holiday. By order of the Commissioners, the Dis- trict offices were closed at 1 o'clock this afternoon. They will be closed all day to- morrow and New Year day, and at 1 o'clock December 31.

The big Center mark which is usually crowded on every market day, was packed with people from an early hour this morn- ing, and the throng spread outside to the varlous surrounding streets, where the country people had located their wagons, and where every commission house became for the time being a retail establishment for the sale of pretty nearly everything that would go to make a Christmas dinner or decorate a Christmas dining room. The same difference in the prices that prevail inside and outside the market on all occa- sions was noticeable in the trafile curried on today. Turkeys that were sold at seven- teen and eighteen cents on the market stands were not one whit plumper or ten- derer than those which went at the com- mission houses and other places on the streets for eleven and twelve and a half cents a pound, and with chickens and other fowls the same discrepancy in price and similarity In quality was noticeable. ‘There was a remarkable profusion of game displayed by the dealers who devote them- selves to that branch of trade. Strings of ducks hung from the sides of the stands, at almost every one of which a deer freshly killed and waiting to be cut up into venison was displayed. Quail, pheasants and wild turkeys were abundant, and quail were cheaper than they have been before this winter, selling at retail from $2 to $2.50 a dozen.’ From the number of rabbits and squirrels who had given up their lives to make the Christmas market complete, it looked as though every cotton and bushy tail in the entire surrounding country had been sacrificed for the occasion. The dis- play of fruits was very fine, the grapes and pears being particularly noticeable, and the vegetable part of the market contained everything fresh from hot house tomatoes to Eastern branch celery. The approaches to the Center market in every direction were lined with venders of Christmas greens, bright-berried holly and inspiring mistletoe, and all did a thriving business with the crowds that continually swept to and fro. The warm weather made it uncomfortable for those who had heavy baskets to carry, and for those whose winter wraps could not be laid aside with any regard to ther health, but the Christmas marketers made a genial and generous throng, nevertheless, and when the knives and forks begin to play to- morrow afternoon they and their families will feel themselves well repaid for the ex- periences of today. —__ Sole Beneficiary.
