THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. WEDNESDAY. January 8, 1896. aan TEE SED ap eee een CROSBY S. NOYES...............Editor. es THE EVENING STAR has «regular 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, order to avoid delays, on ac- it of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed my individual connected with the e@ffice, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. a Reclaim the Flats. That there are overwhelming reasons for the reclamation of the Eastern Branch flats was shown at the meeting of the East Washington Citizens’ Association last night. For two years a committee of ac- tive and intelligent citizens have been at work investigating this subject and their Teport was made last evening in such terms as should convince Congress that the wérk of reclaiming the lowlands ought to be taken up in earnest at once. It Is only necessary to quote a few sentences from this report to show how great are the pos- sibilities of the project, which has beeen agitated for many seasons by those who live in the eastern section and who there- fore realize more fully, perhaps, than others the real nature and extent of the present menace to the health and commer- cial prosperity of the city involved in a continuation of the marshy conditions. -“The most imperative demand for the improvement of these flats,” says the re- port, “is based on their unsanitary effec:s on the entire city, and particularly on per- sons living in their immediate vicinity. ‘The be maeprgpe considered the subject with a view to reaching three direct advantages from the contemplated improvement—less unsanitary conditions, more wharfage, and deepening and widening of a navigable stream. Some of the indirect advantages Would be the building up and improvement of the city in the neighborhood of the flats, the stimulation of commercial activities hy Teason of increased water front, a possible use of the improved channel as part of the Proposed system of inland waterways, and an addition of more than 1,000 acres of available public land, now useless, offen- sive and deadly.” The reclamation of one thousand acres would enable the government to establish at the eastern edge 6f the city a national park similar to that which it is proposed to create on the land recovered from the tides on the Potomac side. Thus the na- tional capital might be given a beautifal surrounding of unused land, with the Rock Creek, Zoological and Soldiers’ Home parks on the north and these two great water front reservations on the south and east. As the city grows in size and the demand for room becomes more pressing the value of these recreation spaces will be felt in in- creased ratio. But from the commercial aspect of the case the proposition to rescue these acres from the mud and slime is equally strong. The present water-front of the city is very small, large enough it may be for the shipping of today, but made- quate in view of the probable growth of the capital and its wide mercantile prospect. Above Georgetown there is little chance for convenient wharfs, and the natural spread of the shipping is to the east, which has become forbidden territory as the Branch bas filled and the banks have become mud flats. The city should be girdled with well kept, attractive docks, bound beyond by beautiful green parks where the people could enjoy the cool river air in the heated months. But above all the menace to health that the flats contain must be re- moved. The miasmatic conditions preva- lent for miles along the eastern edge of the city must be remedied. —_ + «+ _____ “Mr. Walker of ‘The able editor of that highly esteemed but intermittent contemporary, the Con- gressiopal Record, must not be permitted to fall under suspicion in the matter of the news presented with more or less regu- larity in his interesting journal. In the re- port of the debate in the House yesterday printed in this morning’s issue of the Rec- ord there is a strange exhibition either of slothfulnmess or of unjust irdiscrimination. ‘The subject matter of the discussion was the proposed abolishment of a number of offices created fer friends of members, and in the course of the talk, which was at all times interesting to the members and friends aforesaid and frequently important to the general public, some exceedingly perticvent and witty remarks were made by one who Is described in the Record as “Mr. Walker of Were the House un- fertunate enough to enjoy only one Walker this hiatus might be pardoned, but it so happens that there is not only a Mr. Walker from Massachusetts but a Mr. Walker from Virginia now serving the country in Congress. They are both men of exceptional ability, and the remarks that are given with this degree of anony- mousness might easily have come from either of them. Can these distinguished Statesmen bear such a striking resemblance to each other that the Record cannot distinguish between them in the heat of an acriminious debate? If this be the case it is an instance of great for- bearance and generosity on the part of the Record to refrain from possible error in giving the credit for these remarks to the Wrong mar. Yet the harrowing thought in- situates itself that the Record may have Known who said the things, and prefers to conceal his identity. For the sake of his- tory let the Clerk of the House give each of the Messrs. Walker a distinctive num- ber, or an individual necktie, so that there may be no more of this merging of identi- ties. —————— + +2 ___ It is a matter of curiosity to see how long Washington drinking water, if it re- mains in its present condition, will be kept out of the hands of the real estate speculators. —__+ «+____ Some of the old-timers in the way of congressional bills are a good deal more reliable in their reappearances in public life than the Congressmen themselves. ——__+ «= —__—_ Lord Salisbury should realize that a man should not put his foot down so firmly that it becomes painful to remove it when the occasion arises. —_ + +2 ___ Parsimony That Costs. The Heuse of Representatives made a serious mistake yesterday when It refused to grant the increase in the Capitol police force requested by the authorities in charge of the great building on the hill. It is a shame that this enormous structure, with the extensive park surrounding it, should be left with such an inadequate protection as tre law today affords. The serious as- pect of the situaticn is realized by the in- habitarts of Capitol Hill with particular force. It concerns the members of Con- gress themselves that the Capitol building with its rvmerous exits ard its many ob- dects of value should be left with but five men on duty at once during the day and right, but it is something that deeply af- fects the residents of the castern section of the city that the Capitol grounds which @re inadequately lighted after nightfall are trensformed by the lack of policemen into @ convenient hiding place and ambuscade for highway robbers, foot pads, thugs and ruffans. Tho geography of the Hill makes the Cepitol park a natural thoroughfare end it is nightly used by thousands of citi- zens who have always been subjected to more or less discomfort and danger by the Amadequacy of the police force. It has only been through the public spirit of the chief of police that the Capitol grounds have THE EVENING STAR, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 8, 1896~TWELVE PAGES. been given even slight protection during the past year or two, for although this ter- Titory is placed by law beyond his furisdiic- tion he has cheerfully co-operated with the Capitol authorities by loaning them ‘suffi- cient men to patrol the grounds each night. He did this notwithstanding the fact that his force is in itself irmd- equate for the task imposed upon it, but the circumstances now are such that he can no longer continue this practice, for the city has grown since the detail was made, and it is uncomfortably filled with disreputable characters from the race tracks and the surrounding country drawn hither by the hope of securing alms or Plunder. The least that could be done by the House, it seems, would be to provide for this cmergency by appropriating enough money to pay the twelve men re- quired to fill the places of the Metropolitan Policemen. The situation really demands even more liberal treatment and the ex- Penditure of enovgh money to give the Capitol building and grounds the very best Protection of any public property in this ccuntry. As the case now stands it has the very poorest facilities to guard it both within and without the building.~If the House will not follow the lead of the Sen- ate in this matter and give more men to the officials for the purpose of protection the best thing Congress can do Is to build a strong iron fence around the entire reserva- tion with gates to be closed at sundown. Sncne There Are No Limitations. It must not be supposed from the fact that The Evening Star Santa Claus Club is in charge of the great pound party to be held next Friday for the benefit of the poor that the invitation to give is confined to the children who mainly comprise the membership of that organization. The peo- ple of the District, without reference to age or condition or neighborhood, are included in the plan. They are to be afforded just as good a chance to give this year as last, when their generosity filled a room at The Star office to overflowing. In order to ac- commodate those who have not easy access to the public school buildings, which ‘are constituted receiving depots, there will be a branch at this office, as before, and those who desire to donate material for the aid of the suffering poor can easily do so, with the certain knowledge that the goods so sent or brought in person will be carefully housed and speedily distributed to the worthy ones through the best and most re- sponsible agencies. Nor are the school de- pots intended exclusively for the reception of pounds from the pupils. There is abso- lutely no limitation placed upon the benevo- lent, and the pound party is intended for all who can give. ——~++2_____ Lord Dunraven ts unpopular in his own country.

SHOOTING STARS. A Reasonable Opinion. “Don’t you think, Josiar,” said Mrs. Corn- tossel, “thet we orter help Cuby some?” “No,” was the reply. “I dunno ez we ort. Ez fur ez I kin see, Cuby ain’t the one thet’s needin’ the help jest at present.” A Display of Sentiment. “Chawles is what I call a twue patwiot,” remarked Willie Wibbles. “He’s Amerwican to the back bone.” “How do you know?” “He keeps his twousahs tuhned down now whethah it is waining in London or not.” The Point of View. Ah, many a fond word would never be spoke, And many a dear trusting heart would be broke, If young men who go to the theater sat Behind, not beside, that sweet girl with the hat. © In the Footsteps of Genius. “Did yer ebber hyah ’bout dat po’try writer,” said Erastus Pinkley’s father, “dat lisped in numbers ’case de numbers came?” “Yassir,” was the reply. “I reckon I done hyuhd ob ’im.” “Well, I's sho’ly glad ter see yer follerin’ in ‘is footsteps. On’y I does wish ye’d seleck some uddah numbers ter do yer lispin’ wid "sides sebben an’ "lebben.” Not Used to Them Yet. “Maria!” he said, nervously, as he sat straight up In bed, “‘there’s a man in the house!” “William,” she responded, “you are very silly. Those are my bloomers hanging over the back of a chair.” His Position. “So you think,” said the liberal-minded statesman, “that the American people should know nothing about what is going on in a diplomatic way.” “Yes, sir,” replied the eminent official; “and even that should not be announced until it is learned from me.” The Bonds. Come! Get your. market baskets out, And haste with spirits high! A tempting trade is now displayed To catch the public eye. So let the jovial jingle Of your purses rise and mingle; Young and aged, wed or single. Here be bonds for you to buy! Heed no pessimistic jargon! Every one’s a blooming bargain, And you'll never be without one if the goods you will but try! Merits have these glittering prizes Passing what could here be wri; And they come in handy sizes That are warranted to fit. Then do not halt and shamble, Nor indulge in a preamble; Better get into the scramble, For the wares have made a hit. There are others who be waiting, With their wagons here for freighting, And they'll take ’em by the car-load = if we don’t “git up and git.” —___- +> ___ : A Wall Street View. From the Wall Street Daily News. Have the gentlemen who are making such a loud outcry against the bond issue be- cause the syndicate ‘s likely to get ihe bonds at 105, when the market is 117, ever stopped to consider the fact that 117 is the market price only for a limited amount, say half to a million? Can or will any of these shouters say that 50 or 100 million bonds can be sold in the open market at 117? or at 115, 112, 110, or 108 in gold? If they do they are saying what is not true.
