THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. THURSDAY. January 9, 1896. CROSBY 8. NOYES...............Editor. = — EVENING STAR has a regular permanent Family Circulation soot more th: a cir- ington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has ng competitor. f7Im order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any individual connected with the lee, but simply to THE STAR, or to Editorial or Business Depart- mts, accerding to tenor or purpose. — All Ready for Tomorrow. On the eve of The Star Santa Claus Club pound party for the benefit of the suffering poor of the District it looks as though that affair, which is to be held tomorrow, will be an unprecedented success. But it cannot be too great a success to meet the needs of the situation, for the necessity for money and supplies is very pressing Indeed. The arrangements for the pound party are about completed. The children of the public schools, who are the main constituents of the Santa Claus Club, have received ample warning that they may give their pounds tomorrow, and preparations have been made for the prompt collection and the effective Gistribution of the supplies. In the rush of giving pounds of food and fuel the benev- elent people who have little ones in the public schools should recollect that moeney contributions are asked for the purpose of supplying shoes and stockings for the chil- dren of the poor who are now unable to at- tend school because they iack these neces- sities. This money will be carefully ex- pended by the school authorities who have handled similar funds for the same object in past yeurs with excellent results. The food supply is of exceptional importance and the pounds should flow into the school houses and into the branch at The Star office in such quantity that all fear of hun- ger will be dispelled for some time to come. There is not the least objection to the dona- tion of coal, and the pound party ts organ- ized on such broad and [beral lines that the heartiest welcome will be given to a gift of 2,240 pounds in one lot from some large- hearted citizen. A cord of fire-wood weighs more than a pound, but it will not be re- jected If sent. A barrel of flour or a sack of potatoes would tip the scale at many pounds, yet there is plenty of room for just such gifts and they will do a world of good. In- dividual pounds will be accepted and utilized in the same spirit of thankful gratitude. So one and all, young and old, work heartily together for the great event of tomorrow! ——._ - + ++ __ An Object Lesson. The presert opaqueness and solidity of the Potomac water naturally turns the thoughts of citizens toward filtration as ap- Psrently the only effactive remedy, and the public is gradually, but steadily, approach- ing the conclusion that while a filtration plant comes high, we must have it. It is desirable that the minds of our legislators should move at least as rapidly as local public sentiment in the same direction. Many Senators and most Representatives reside during the sessions here in hotels and boarding houses, where great care is taken to provide clean water for drinking and lavatory purposes. The Star suggests that it would be an eminently wise thing’! for the proprietors of such establishments, which are patronized by Congressmen, to make an agreement to furnish their pa- trens during the twenty-four hours com- mencing at 12 o'clock tomorrow night, for instance, with unfiltered water drawn ex- clusively in its natural condition from the pipes. In this way Congress could be made Personally acquainted with the liquid mud that the people of the national capital must, it seems, use for drinking and bath- ing purposes every time there is a heavy rain up the river, and would be prepared to discuss filtration propositions with the ac- quired kgowledge of experts. —__<++_____ Crusade Aguinst the Market Women. The position of the Commissioners seems to be that it is unlawful for the market women to retail from their wagons on B Street between 7th and 9th streets, where they have periodically occupied space for many years, but that it will be lawful for them to occupy and use B street in the same way and for the same purpose be- tween 9th and 10th streets. Does not the law apply equally to all parts of B street? Does not a cusiem of a great many years’ standing give the market farmers a stronger claim to the use of that part of B street which they have long occupied than they have to the portion of the street desig- mated by the Commissioners. Of course the Commissioners have no power to dis- pose of the city streets and to make law- ful any illegal occupancy, but so far as they are personally concerned have they not by inviting the retailing farmers to oc- cupy one portion of B street stultified their contention that the fermers’ occupancy of another part of the same street is illegal? =. + + | ___ The Blessings of War. If, as a result of the hot fight between the Tival electric lighting plants, that part of settled Washington which lies beyond Flor- ida avenue is blessed with a conduit system ef electric lights, the suburbanites will doubtless be convinced that war has its virtues as well as its horrors. These con- tinvations of Washington, though practical- ty a part of the city, are technically outside of its limits, and the anti-overhead wire Jaw does not in its terms serve to protect streets beyond Florida avenue But what the law through Its restricted wording fails to guarantee to them seems to be assured by the competitive liberality of the con- tending corporations. So lay on Macduff! Suburban Washington applauds with im- partiality every mighty stroke. —___ + «= ____ ‘The community will hope that the Eck- ington and Belt Hnes may speedily change their motive power to an umobjectionable rapid transit system. This promised change will be both a public benefit and an hmn- provement of the railway's financial con- dition. It Is impossible in a modern city of the present day for horse-propelled street cars to compete successfully for the public patronage with those using the best me- chanical motors. 0 A loan that would go to small investors, without the higgling and bargaining over premium which affords the capitalist his coveted loop-hole, would be popular in the strict sense of the word. —__+ += ____ District Affairs im the House. With the appointment of sub¢ommittees the House District committee is now in shape to begin in earnest the work of sup- plying the legislative needs of the District. ‘The subordinate bodies, it appears, are to be given more authority and prestige this year than heretofore, and in some ways this change will operate advantageously to the best interest of the District people. It is ex- pected, for instance, that there will be more opportunity for hearings, at which the citizens may give voice to their wants, thus enabling the legislators, if they so desire, to shape the measures according to the needs and wishes of those directly con- cerned. These hearings ought to be of great service to the committee and to the House, provided care is taken that fair rep- Tesentation fs accorded to all sides and the widest possible publicity given. Every hear- Ing should be public, and the newspapers should have the fullest facilities for obtain- ing inforination of the course of events. No harm can come to any honest interest by reason of publicity, and the more that 4s printed about worthy local measures the Detter it will be for the District. Next Monday will be District Jay in the ‘THE EVENING STAR, THURSDAY, JANUARY 9, 1896-TWELVE PAGES.. Heuse, and the committee should see that the time Is not taken away for other pur- poses. There are but two measures of local interest now in shape for passage then, but they can be conveniently disposed of on that occasion and the local legislative year will be well begun by their passage. These are the bill providing for an extension of the time fcr making assessments, and the bill—already passed by the Senate—amend- ing the highway act. The latter measure has been confused in some quarters with the proposition to issue bonds for street and sewer (&ktensions, whereas it merely clears up a question of appellate jurisdic- tion in the cases now pending before the Distriet Supreme Court, growing out of the existing highway act. It is a purely formal and technical matter, the result of the organization of the District Court of Ap- Peals. The extension of the assessment reriod is made requisite by the inability of the board of assessors to complete their heavy task within the specified time, owing to the imposition upon them of the excise business of the District. While it is to be expected that these measures will provoke more or less discussion there is no material Interest involved in them that should sum- iron obstructive tactics to its aid. Let 1 the first District day set a good pace for the session, ——__++e___ Unobjectionable Rapid Transit. Though the danger of a local overhead trolley invasion is probably now safely passed, it is yet gratifying to note occa- sional evidences that come to hand to prove | the wisdom of the unrelenting fight against the overhead system waged so long and with such success ultimately by The Star. A trolley pole in Brooklyn yesterday be- came surcharged with electricity from de- feetive insulation, and several persons who chanced to touch it were severely shocked. It required a police guard to keep the peo- ple from being further endangered while the electricians were repairing the fault. Thus the already antiquated system 1s con- demning itself with regularity, and it is not too much to expect that In the year 1900 a trolley car, with its vibrant pole and its accompanying street obstructions, will be as great a curio in the thoroughfares of a city as a bob-tail horse car is today. The minds of transportation experts have long ago been diverted from the trolley as a temporary expedient, a transition process that bridged over the period of evolution from the horse car to the perfect eloctrical device, and it is noteworthy that there is searcely a large transportation company in this country now using the old-fashioned trolley that is not experimenting with other systems and planning extensive al- terations. In Chicago the overhead trolley is thoroughly discredited, and the city is going through a reformatory process that is exceedingly interesting to Washing- tonians, who were happily saved from this annoying necessity by the preventive cam- paign aganist the original introduction of the cheap and dangerous overhead system. ————_<++-____ The sudden death of Mr. BH. B. Wigat, the veteran journalist, takes from News- paper Row one’ of its most prominent and well-beloved occupants. Mr. Wight has for years been an indefatigable worker, an ac- curate and reliable correspondent, and one of the most honorable men in his profes- sion. True to his employers, and to his honest convictions, his letters sent to Bos- ton and Chicago were held as among the best and most accurate dispatched from Washington. His loss will be deplored by a host of friends. ——_—__+-e-2______ Governor Altgeld says that all great re- forms begin at the bottom and work up. it is undoubtedly a fact that advances in civilization have been caused by agitation which originated with the masses. But it by no means follows that every passing current of unrest which rustles through seciety Is a great reform. —_——_—_> += ____ Even if Cuba, when free, should fail in becoming a part of this country, it will come beneath the protecting shadow of the Monroe doctrine. —_ —+ + = ___ Congressman Cannon, having tackled a bicycle, is hardly to be frightened by any- thing as comparatively docile as a sena- torial ambition. _ A great many patriotic Americans will rot take any of the bonds for the reason that they will never have a chance at them. ——_0 = ____ The German Emperor has been looking for a fight for some time. It will prob- ably be a fine, large one when he gets it. egg ge ee A good season for skating is desirable in its way, but it is hoped that the weather bureau will not overdo the thing. ————js > ___.

The third class most every- body avoids, but it is on the sec- ond class where most house- keepers are fooled. That is, on flour that is sometimes good and sometimes bad. It is really worse than the poor flour, be- cause it is unreliable, because sometimes it seems to be what it is not, because as a general thing this “sometimey goodness” is the fault of the manufacturer —in fact, we may say it is a scheme of the manufacturers to make the flour appear to be bet- ter than it is by occasionally giv- ing a good pure article. House- keepers who have used barrels upon barrels of Ceres tori Sah Roo A Hall Room cs Flour —have but the one opinion— that it is “UNIFORMLY GOOD.” Its high quality never deteriorates so much as a quar- ter of one per cent, but as new milling machinery is being in- vented every year and the farmers are growing better and better wheat every year it will steadily raise its standard of ex. cellence and purity so that it will always be the best flour.
