Colecction Service? Major Powell is reported as replying to an argument against the establishment of @ garbage crematory in the northwestern section that it was not the crematory that was really objectionable. but the hauling of the garbage through the streets. This speaks poorly for the collection service and for the vigor of the surveillance exercised by the authorities over the contractors. By no possibility can the citizens who have looked into the matter at all intelligently be persuaded into the belief that the city’s garbage can not be collected and hauled in an inoffensive manner. The market is well stocked with devices for the odorless collection of such refuse that have stood the test of practical application. Indeed the comparatively poor carts nuw in use here, when first put into service, were capable of hokling the odors, and the col- lection during the early days of the later period of garbage disposal was fairly unod- jectionable. It was so far superior to the prio experiences of the citizens that they were delighted, only to be disappointed, however, when the service became slack, when drivers were permitted to leave open the lids of their carts, and when the carts themselves became broken and were al- lowed to become foul through lack of proper care. Major Powell must not ex- pect the people to be satisfied with a poor collection service, nor can he hope by hold- ing such a defective part of the system up to blame to shield a proposition that is offen- sive to practically all the people regard- less of the sections In which they live. The present methods of coilection are inade- quate. It may be true that the main of- fense is given by the hauling of the gar- bage through the streets by the present equipment, but the people refuse to be sat- isfied with this equipment, and they decline to accept, too, the proposition that the urban burning of garbage is the bes: avall- able plan. If, added to the nuisance of a crematory located in a populous neighbor- hood, the Commissioners insist upon giving the city a collection service that is the #reatest of all the offenses, the case is in- deed worthy of the immediate intervention of Congress. ——--- +42. —- Prompt Action by the House. The promptness with which the House yesterday passed the revenue measure pro- posed as a relief to the treasury may soon be contrasted effectively with the masterly manner in which the Senate can waste precious time. Unless all signs fail, the upper branch will take its usual course and, after reference to a committee through which the bill may never pass, It is very apt to delay on one pretext and another until weeks have gone by. The need of a revision of the rues was never more apparent than at such a tim> when the administration is confronted with an undoubted emergency and when the treasury 1s on the verge of being obliged once again to go forth with bonds to sell in order to meet the necesst- tles of the gold reserve and to restore the falling revenues. The House acted in such short order that there may be in some quar- ters a feeling that the measure was rushed through with Inadequate consideration, yet the history of legislation of this character goes to show that there is practically no like- Mhood of any amendments being accepted even after days of debate. The usual course is for a measure that does not deal with small details to go through without change and weeks of discussion would probably have had no effect whatever except per- haps those wrought of necessity caused by the changes in general conditions incidental to the lapse of time. The republicans de- cided upon a course of action and followed it with a promptness that, under the cir- cumstances, was highly commendable. The Senate should act as promptly upon the measure passed yesterday by the House and elther by its speedy acceptance or Its re- jection give the administration some as- surance of the course of future events. ——__ + ee Bury All the Wires. The regularly recurring stories about the crippling of telegraph and telephone lines by Severe storms are now at hand, pointing out once again the folly of a continuation of the overhead system of electrical transmis- sion. It so happens that the wires are al- most always broken outside of the citles, in the open country where the winds have full sweep, where breaks are hardest to repair and where the laying of eonduits for the re- ception of the wt it should be noted, would cost less and cause less annoyance to the people than In tig cities. All these con- siderations go to demonstrate the fact, ap- parent perhaps to the corporations, that the overhead system is cumbersome, inconven- ient and costly, and that the time has come for a burial of the wires throughout the routes, whether urban or rural. The busi- ness Interests of the country ought to en- list themselves in the effort to persuvle the telegraph companies to change their methods, for each winter brings its violent atmospheric storms, each of which is Kable to cause a complete stoppage of all facilities for long distance communication, These events are disastrous in many ways, and the losses suffered by the country’s com- mercial institutions from this source alone, if aggregated, would cover much of the ex- bense of burying every wire in the country. ee Trying to frighten a man by shouting “Jingo"" at him Is closely akin to the Chi- hese warrior's obsolete practice of burning fireworks and whanging a gong. oo ——_- = Canada should have learned by observa- tion that {t ts utterly Impossible for this country to make a tariff that will suit everybody. ———++2—___ Venezuela’s valor will be most adm! able if that country will permit ft to be accepted, at least for a time, on faith. ——_--+-__ It fs @ reassuring fact that the demand for Uncle Sam's bonds always exeseds the supply. ——__ ++ Street Railway Legislation. The introduction yesterday in the Hous of bill authorizing the Columbia sailroad company to extend its line may be taken as the signal for the renewal of the old- time fight between the Columbia and the Washington and Georgetown roads for the territory lying west of the State. War and Navy building and south of Pennsylvania avenue, which has never been supplicd with a street-car line and at present has only @ herdle service. The feature of the bill that most Interests the citizens at large is that which concerns the mechanical @rrangement of the tracks in the vicinity of Fifteenth street and New York avenue, which is at present one of the most dan- gerous corners in the city. So complex Is the problem, owing to the neglect of Congress to provide for the present emer- gency In its legislation of several sessions ago, that it is doubtful if a satisfactory so- lution can be reached except by a general enactment rearranging the tracks of the Capital Traction, the Metropolitan and the Fifteenth street and New York avenue. It is noteworthy that the recently introduced measure gives the Columbia line access to the territory in question by way of Fif- teenth, H and Seventecuth streets, thus in- volving the use of the Metropolitan tracks on H Street for two blocks and necessitat- ing a change from cable power to some other means means of propulsion, since the Metropolitan line will in a few months be cunning with an underground electric system which is inconsistent with a cable on the same tracks. The Columbia aud the Metropolitan railway companies have for some time been practically one, and it is perhaps just as well that they should be fated now uncer one tile, so as to perpetuate the system of free transfers that was voluntarily adopted by the com- panies about two years ago. The Star in the past has cpposed all ideas of a general con- solidation of the cily’s street-railway lines under a sinele management, and the wis- com of this course has been amply shown by the experience of Philadelphia, which is just now suffering from the arbitrary acts of the Union Traction Company, with- out relicf being in sight. The arguments, however, that apply to a general cons tion do not holt as against smaller binations as long as competition between the main systems of transporiation lines is preserved. Locally this would be tne case in the rivalry between the Capital Traction Company and the proposed Metro- politan Electric Tractioh Company, which are so nearly parallel that the city would not feel the burden of monopoly as long as they were kept separate and distinct. > —____ niterlee Accepts. Dr. Satterlee eptanc of the office of Bishop of Washington recently tendered to him by the local Episcopal Diocese, of which he today notified the committee of in- vitation, will be welcome news to all the churchmen of the new dio who will thus be enabled to complete their organiza- tion without dela isdom of their choice of Dr. Satterlee was at once appar- ent upon his election but there was enough doubt of his acceptance to make many fear- ful lest another convention would be nec- s hesitation were The rectar of an old and ation situaf®d in the me- country, he is bound to his no ordinary ties and it ied that he proper tropolis of the present work by has been apparent ever since he was n of his elevation to the bishopri has been in secious doubt as to bh course. That he has chosen the path of duty Which leads him to the uation’s capital to or- ganize the new diocese of Washington is a matter for congratulation not only among members of the church that has summoned him to this high honor but among the citi- zens of all denominations and beliefs who will welcome such a strong and capable man to the local fleld. ek ee It is very natural that Spain should desire an alliance with Great Britain, France and Holland for the protection of European colo- nies on tnis continent. Not that there ts any legitimate necessity for such an arrange- ment. The suggestion, after ihis countr, disereet forbearance with reference to af- fairs in Cuba, shows a sadly suspicious quality in the Spanish nature. But it would be immensely convenient for Spain, by rep- resenting to creduious ears that the United States Is unduly interferiag in Cuba, to call powers more potent than itself as allies to the scene where the insurgents have shown such valiant persistence in thelr ambitions for freedom. The Spanish government fs justified in a suspicion that while these Cuban victories may look well on paper, there is great danger of their not paying dividends. The Sultan would be greatly gratified if events in other parts of the globe would continue to so shape themselves as to di- vert attention from him. > Li Hung Chang is said to be on his gov- ernment’s retired list.

An Interesting Device. “I say,” said One British official, “what'll we do with this remote little country of ours.

A Paradox. “Dear me!” exclaimed the New York pol- itician, as he looked at the Christmas cal- endar which had been presented to him, “New Year dey Is almost upon us, isn’t it?” “Yes,” replied his wife. ‘It's time to swear off again.” “Well, it'll be easy this year.” “What will you do?” “Swear off on reform.” A Deep-Lald Plot. “Is disshere a place whah dey sells dic: ehe inquired, as she entered a store that deals in sporting goods. “Yes.” “Is yoh got er good reli'ble ahticle in de way ob a craf-die?” “We handle the very highest goods.” “"Cohse yoh does, honey. in’ foh style.

You hear housekeepers say that such and such a brand of flour doesn’t seem to be as good as it used to be. Doesn’t seem to run as white and fine as when they first began to use it. Many dealers when they introduce a brand on the market use a very fine quality of flour in order to create a good impression at the start, but it is not their intention to keep this up. After they have introduced it they sub- stitute a poorer flour, bag- ged and stamped with the same name as before, upon which they make more profit.
