6 ‘ THE EVENING STAR, TUE DAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1896-TWELVE PAGES, — THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. TUESDAY .February 18, 1596. CROSBY S. NOYES...............Editor. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent Family Circulation much more thun the combined cir- culation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. tlm order to avoid delays, om ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any individual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. Complete the Tunnel. The joint resolution introduced in the Senate yesterday by Mr. McMillan authoriz- ing the completion of the aqueduct tunnel in accordance with the report of the Secre- tary of War and the Chief of Engineers 1s in line with the urgings of The Star since the opinion was officially expressed that the project could be successfully and with com- parative economy carried to a conclu- sion. If it should pass both houses and re- ceive presidential approval it will result in the prompt resumption of operations as it rot onl; makes immediately available the SS now remaining from former al- for this purpose, but it appropri- . the balance of the sum esti- teated by the board of experts as requisite. ‘The resolution ought to be given early con- sideration in order that the work may be- gin on the tunnel in the spring. The water supply question is so old and familiar to the members of Congress who were serving a few years ago that it ought not to take long to place this measure before the President. The report recently submitted to Congress, while it was not unanimous from the vari- ous authorities whose judgment was sum- moned, did not contain any conflict of epinion on the question of the desirability of increasing the water supply, and the only debate is as to the best means of giving the city more aad better water. A greater sup- ply can only be secured from the Potomac by raising the dam so, as to confine a greater body of water in the artificial lake tormed above Great Falls and then by pro- viding more reservoirs and mains. The work of accomplishing the first of these ends now under way, and in a few months there will be more water dammed at the Fa'ls than can be utilized or dis- tributed. The second problem, therefore, is how best to preserve this increased supply. and in answer to this the tunnel scheme Was proposed, started and then abandoned because of faulty and dishonest work. The turnel was merely the means of carrying the water to a reservoir north of that sec- tion of the city most in need of an increase in the supply. If it should be abandoned some other and better plan of conveying the water must be provided. The prepon- derance of official and expert opinion favors the completion of the tunnel and Congress in the MeMillan resolution, s opportunity to give the project the new life it evidently deserves. The resolu- tlon needs no amendment, but should be passed just as it stands. ——++ oe An Open Winter. The er of "96 is apt to go down in Listory as one of the most peculiar on record, so fer as the region around Wash- ington is concerned. Usually the normal temperatures are maintained by reason of col ed low records, with eccasional Weves of cold, compensated by rises in the thermometer above the winter level. This year, however, the course of the climate has heen to preserve a generally high tem- perature, and to bring it down to the winter n by excessive cold snaps that are very Zreeable while they last. The almost ice of snow has given the sea- arkable character, and has as- tenished even native Washingtonians, who are more or less accustomed to open win- ters and little snow. It is a mooted ques- without srow is as conducive to health as the sea- sen that is accompanied by heavy falls of autiful but dampness-producing but it must Le conceded that while y loses somewhat in picturesqueness from an open winter it gatns largely in comfort, for the snow is at best a nuisance in such a clime, where it is soon melted and lies in the streets as slush a few hours after its fall. It is a common belief that pneumonia is unusually prevalent after a snowfall, for it is thought that the damp- ness resulting from the presence of a large I of melting snow accompanied by the chill of the normal winter air produces more than the ordinary number of heavy colds which, being neglected, run quickly into the dreaded disease. The lovers of sledding and +leighing deplore the lack of the white covering, of course, but they probably admit cheerfully that the winter now passing is one of more comfort than any that has -een experienced for many years. —_+ ++ —_____ Valuable Expositions. The success of the poultry show that was opened here last week and closes today has demonstrated conclusively that there Is a fine field in this city for such exhibitions. mal exhibitors give cheerful and astic testimony in favor of Wash- ington as the headquarters of the middie south and urge that other shows be brought here; in other words, that the capital be placed on the great circuit that includes most of the large cities of the country. There is a vast stretch of territory to the south of Washington that fs in need of a market, and there is no better city for such a purpose than this, which is the natural commercial gateway between the northern and sections of the Atlantic se shows, poultry shows and rs have a large commercial as well as being of importance for -dueational and entertainment purposes. ‘They represent the advancement of the in such lines, and tend to stimulate a wholesome interest in agriculture and kindred pursuits among the people who otherwise have few chances to learn any- thing that relates to affairs outside of the Washington having shown that it care for and properly patronize a show of this kind, there is no reason why flach season there should not be a series of expositions, inaugurated by local men and attracting the best exhibits in the country. ——_+ >} ____ The coal combine’s season of active opera- tions is a short one, but it is employed in & marner which causes the consumer to Femember it the whole year through. ———+ +2 ___ Several of the presidential booms are en- larging so as to be very visibly in one an- other's way. value, can ——_+ e > ___ A Clearing House of Local Opinion. It was an excellent plan for the District Commissioners to bunch all the bilis pro- viding for street railway extensions and charters now before them and to hold a general hearing on the subject. In no bet- ter way could the needs and desires of the people be thoroughly tested, and yester- day's session at the District building dem- onstrated the utility of public conferences of this charactey. The local field invites and the demand for charters 1s rery marked, owing to the great spread of the city into the suburban field and the general improvement of street rail- Way processes and methods. The tendency, ‘f unrestrained, would lead to very incon- sruous and unsatisfactory results. Inde- pendent and poorly sustained lines would cover the city with a gridiron ef tracks. In some places many lines would be forced to occupy the same route, to the detriment of the service of each. Useless parallels would be established, draining the terri- tory without giving ade~uate return either to the community or the corporation. Lines that would be enabled by the generous pa- tronage resulting from comparative monop- olfes to give the finest service and pro- vide the latest improvements would be forced by ruinous and useless competition to reduce expenses, and thus to curtail the comforts of their patrons. Suburban roads would traverse the outer regions to and beyond the District line in abundance, barely able to exist and vo poor to make reciprocal transfer arrangements with the trunk lines of the city, thus imposing: on the suburban travelers and residents the burden of double and sometimes triple fares. But, happily, this tendency has been largely checked. The Senate committee on the District, at least, has adopted of late the wise policy of extending existing lines, rather than the establishment of new ones, and thus the evils that have just been suggested as the probable results of a wide- open policy of street railway legislation have been reduced to a minimum. Each session scores of bills propusing new lines by independent companies have been intro- duced, pressed, investigated and then pigeon-holed, but this year the crop is as large as usual, and the session at the Com- missioners’ offices yesterday was a good index of the prospect. The largest claim- ant of extension privileges is the Eckingtcn rgad—this title including the Belt line—and its plans are wide, and comprehend the laying of tracks into practically every sec- tion of the city. Yesterday it was clearly spown that the patrons of the existing lines of those roads are practically ‘unanimous in demanding that the present service be im- proved before the new routes are estab- lished. Meanwhile, the two great trunk lines are contesting for the now uncovered territory, and the main concern of the peo- ple is that the extensions shall not be made so as to uselessly duplicate trackage, or in a poor and cheap style. The tendency should be to improve the character of the suburban system, and it is very gratifying to learn from the prest@ent of the Capital Traction Company that in the event of cer- tain extensions of that road the overhead wires and pJles on 18th street beyond the imaginary line that marks the iega! limit of the trolley will be removed and the un- derground system established instead. —__+ «+ —__. Plans of the Board of Trade. Concerning most of the matters in re- spect to which the Board of Trade is and Tas been laboring the policy of the Board has been already, in some cases iong ago, formed and announced, and the various committees with these policies and projects in charge are working faithfully upon the tasks assigned to them in carrying out the Board's instructions. No intelligent Wash- ingtonian will be disposed to measure th Board's influence and tendeneles by what is proposed or accomplished at this or that public meeting of last month, or next month, disregarding the fact that through its committees the Board is now pushing the public interests in respect to a score of municipal projects, upon which the Board has in the past taken positive action. For instance, taking a few examples at random, the Committee on Lridges has been and is now pushing the projects of a Me- merial Bridge and an improved Long Bridge as directed by the Board of Trade. The Ccmmittee en Commerce and Manu- factures is working to secure utilization of the water power at Little and Great Falls. The Committee on Public Buildings is vigorously urging the Municipal Building project. The Committee on Public Healih, co-operating with the Medical Societies, is dcing effective work. The Committee on Public Library is not neglecting the duties ertrusted to it by the Board. The Com- mittee on Railroads has been faithfully carryirg out the policy of the Board, unanimously declared, in opposition to grade crossings. And in respect to every other of the long list of the Board’s com- mittees the same may be said. A Police Ccurt case yesterday directed Public attention in a marked way to the fact that there is 2 wide difference of opin- ion among the doctors as to what. consti- tutes sufficient evidence of the existence of a contagious disease in-a househowt to war- rant the display of a warning sign and the qvarantining of the house and its occu- pants. This important matter should, in some way, be speedily adjusted, else the lives and health of thousands of children in the public schools may be endangered on the one hand, or on the other hand the inconvenience, annoyance and expense of an unnecessary quarantine may be inflicted ‘The medical societies and ‘the health o: ought to be able to reach a definite under- standing concerning the character and de- gree of evidence of the existence or non- existence of a contagious disease, which should determine the question of declaring @ quarantine. ———~+++___ It is hoped among spcrtsmen that it will not become customary for pugilists to try to throw alkali dust into one another's eyes.
