Once More, Garbage.

The warm weather has barely starte t we are al- iy informed that garbage-disposal by seow is once more the vogue; this time because the approximately modern meth- ods which have recently been employed by the District authorities are rot sufficient in capacity t+ accommodate the increased ga output which is a ccnsequence of the season. It is most urfortunate that a matter of so much importance should b= in such an unsettled condition, that it 1d little while to annoy Congress has given to District.

It was not to be expected that the Dis- trict Commissioners would approve the De Armond bill, which has for its object the repeal of all provisions of law whereby the United States pays one-half of the public s of the District of Columba. The re was conceived in error and shaped in Injustice. It proposes to relieve the United from the comparatively-in- expensive obligation of contributing toward the suppert of the National Capital and to place upon the shoulders of District residents the burden of maintaining what for oecupanc ction of Mayor | is, before all other things, the seat of the gereral government. The Commissioners have therefore made adverse report as to the bill, and in support of their conclusions they advance argument not easily to be assailed and far beyond the reach of réa- sonable controversy. It is remarkable that any member of Congess can be found to ehampion the inexcusably unfair proposi- tiors laid down by Representative De Ar- mond, but his anti-Washington campaign has after all been a good thing, for it has resulted in the presentation of the case as it is. The truth has many times been made plain by The Star, and now the Dis- trict Commissioners consolidate facts and condense reason in a document which ts one of the most interesting and valuable contributions to local history. An unanswerable paragraph Is this: “If the United States paid taxes on its prcperty at the same rate that citizens do on theirs, as is done by the German gov- errment in its national capital, it would amount to considerably more than it now appropriates. To be strictly just the gov- ernment ought to pay its half from the be- ginning, and, if it were to do that, it would extinguish the present District debt, nearly all of which was created by officers of the United States government, acting under au- thority of Congress, and not by the citi- zens of the District. The fact that the nation, whica at the beginning took title by gift to five-sixths of the area of the na- tioral capital, still owns more than half in value of the real estate of the District, irrespective of the streets of which tt holds the absolute fee, and the fact that Congress still exercises the power of exclusive legis- lation over the entire District conferred upon it by the Constitution, combine to raise a fresh and present obligation on the part of the nation in respect of its capital, independent of, and in addition to, the equity arising from national acts and rep- resentations in the creation of the city and District. To change the act of 1878, as pro- posed by this bill, would be a clear repudia- tion of both the equitable and legal obliga- tions assumed by the nation in regard to its national capital. This we cannot believe Congress will do.” Every Washingtonian should read the re- pert, of which an abstract appears in this sue of The Star. SS Quick Action Needed. Senators who are desirous of assisting the people of the District in their effort to° se- cure less-expensive illuminating gas should first endeavor to secure the passage of an amendment restoring the dollar-gas biil to the slape in which it passed the House, and if that effort {s unsuccessful they ought then to permit the zmeasure to pass amended by the Senate District Committee; to the erd that the differences between the House and Senate may be adjusted in con- ference, possibly on the lines proposed by the House. If Senators, in their desire to befriend umers, prevent all agtion what . the result will be detrimenta! to the public interest. es The frequency with which Span diers fire upon one another makes sonable to expect that they will introduce more systematic meth in their own $s before indulging in any further allu- sion to the Cuban army ay an undisciplin ed mob. ran 1 has again demonstrated thy proverbial fact that the man who is not Speaker Ret looking for trouble is generally able to handle it if it insists on putting in an ap pearance. —_——__ + ++ —___ There is a heartless reluctance about iet- h ref arlisle’s financial utterans Cleveland's third term sentiments. — es tion that it was her inten- ule when the war t reminder of th dangers of procrastination. a Major McKinley would like very much to offer the people who are clamoring for epinions on currency something equally as good on the tariff. rence To and Me. —- The next time Mr. He self on a delicate national topic he shou insist on the presence of a calendar and a notary pub!
