If the ex- isting policy is overthrown, the narm done, as they believe and assert, will be incal- culable. Business—all forms of it—wilt suf- fer, and, necessarily, the wage earners will suffer.

How the structure is going to be completed in 1807 unless the force is speedily increased cannot be guessed at. The only per- son able to wrestle with that problem is the man who insists that the inflammable roof on the building is fireproof. —— Prepare for the Centennial. In the year 1800 the government of the United States first occupied this city, and gave to it the dignity of being in deed and fm truth the national capital. When the year 10) arrives It will be entirely proper to celebrate the incoming of the executive departments and of Congress and of the federal juilictary. During the past four or five years 1 ar has several times sug- | gesind t entennial be made a mat- fe importance. The sug- 2 renewed, in order that rally may be prepared to take | citizens Ke the mater up serfously in the near future. | Prepar: s for an event of such mag- nitude this celebration should be will need to be thorogghly discussed and deliberately planned. The idea is a good one to talk over during the coming autumn a News and Advertising | and winter, so that it may be taken up in earnest as soon as ‘the inauguration season comes to an end. There will be need for legislation, of course, and suffictent funds will have to be raised, elther by an appro- priation or subscription. Probably the main difficulty to be encountered will be the keeping of the celebration within rea- sonable bounds. The local idea is not Itkely to go very much beyond an exhibit of the progress of Washington from the beginning of its history down to the pres- ent time; an interesting and comparatively inexpensive exposition. It may be urged, though, that inasmuch as this is the capl- tal of the country, the plan should be broader of scope. This, however, is subject for discussion; the final conclusions reached will undoubtedly be the preduct of the best of local and congressional thought. But whether it be large or small, much or little, there must surely be popular recognition of the first centennial of the national gov- ernment at Washington. --— ¢-_____ More Water Needed. Captain Gaillard’s report upon the Wash- ington aqueduct—published in The Star yes- terday—directs attention to conditions that concern every intelligent) Washing- n. The city's water supply is of greater moment than almost any other mu- nicipal matter; its importance will doubtless be conceded by most people. The insuffi- ciency of the supply has caused and con- tinues to cause actual suffering in ne borhoods that cannot be properly supplied with the liquid which is paid for but not ss at its last se from a part standpoint, be much better to apparently Save two or three hundred thousand dol than to deal fairly by a very large percent- that r. Captain Gaillard in- s much as he, perhaps, properly may, t Congress be urged to provide the ne ary Tunds at the earliest possible moment v that the great quantity of work which must be done on the tunnel and the Howard University reservoir may be started in season to prevent a threatened water- famine. When the Board of Trade next gets to- sether it can do nothing better than plan a campaign to the end that Washington may speedily provided with all the water it needs. The efforts made last winter were nost successful, and it ts quite probable that if the case be pushed with vigor the engineers’ plan will be made effective by 4 sufficient appropriation. > Misfortune. It is unfortunate that a doubt as to the terms of the Department of Agriculiure 2ppropriation act for the coming fiscal year renders necessary the discontinuance of “Climate and Health,” one of the most Valuable of the publications issued by the Weather Bureau. The same dvubt as to the appropriation act brings to an end—for seme months at least—the weekly coilec- Uocns of the statistics of mortality ar morbidity that Rave heretofore made wel- come eppearance.
