Two topics—closely related, yet distinct— are set forth in the communication on street-sweeping contributed to yesterday's issue of The Star by Contractor Daggett: the character of local s weeping and the contest of con atract work with day's 1 in municipal enterp: There is a ex. Or great deal to be said on both sides as to both topics. The Star, however, is satisfied that local methods under the contract sys- tem could be improved, and fs certain that day's labor is preferable to contract prac- tices in all public work. Contractor Daggett would have {t appear that the majority of citizens who are on the alert to secure as much as they can in return for tax-collected money expended ignorant and speak without to criticism and is restive estions are made that look betterments as taxpaycrs very ‘The idea that asphalt-paved to such properly seek streets should be flushed annoys him.

Mr. ——_+ ++ __ The Jameson Decision. ® The dec.sion in the case of Dr. Jameson and his lieutenants was strictly in accord- ance with the law and the facts, and It re- flects credit on the English judiciary. Pop- ular sympathy was put aside, and treaty obligations were upheld to the letter. At the sume time the real merits of the question in its larger phases remain un- touched and unsettled. They were not be- fore the court, and could not be brought before it. The only matter at issue there related to the acts of Dr. Jameson and his fellows viewed In the light of existing law. Another matter altogether is that relating to the condition of affairs in the Rand, and how strong the temptation iong has been for men of means and education and prog- ress there to bring about a change, by force if necessary. What the English court has decided 1s, in effect, that such change, or any change, cannot be brought about by Englishmen operating upon the lines of Dr. Jameson and his men. The Boer gov- ernment is under the protection of Eng- land, and hence an attack upon it was in- directly an attack upon the crown, as well as an invasion of a friendly power by un- lawfully enlisted Englishmen. Future developments, both in England and in the Rand, will be awaited with in- terest. It is a safe assumption that the reform movement in the Rand will not die because of chis result in England. What has existed to oppress progressive men there—Englishmen and others—still exist And as long as it exists it will be fought. The cause of real progress—what makes for larger opportunity and better govern- Inent—ts always just. In the end, too, it always triumphs. President Kruger has assurance that England will keep her treaty obligations with him, but this does not carry with it an indorsement of his government. Neither does the conviction of Dr. Jameson and his men carry with it the declaration that the Uitlanders had no just cause of complaint. Only their method of redressing their wrongs is condemned. Will the English home government take a hand now and assist in redressing those wrongs in a way consistent with the law? If so, the Jameson raid, hard as it has been on the ratders, will turn out to be a public blessing. That is the way Fortune frequently works. ———_—_+++—______ The Vest Question. The policemen’s request that they be permitted to shed their white vests in summer time {s not unreasonable. The vests are much heavier than their appear- ance would indicate and they undoubtedly cause a great deal of discomfort dur- ing the torrid season. But if the vests are ordered off, there must be uniformity of shirt front. In times past there has been complaint because—the vests being absent—tkree or four hundred policemen would display three or four hundred va- rieties of shirt that ranged from immacu- late cleanliness all the way down to an inexcusable absence of cleanliness. With only one kind of a clean stirt officially permitted, the policemen’s vest can ad- vantageously be dispensed with. ——+ es ____ Every well-equipped household should have in its stores a sufficient quantity of potassiumorthodinitrocresolate; a new anti- septic discovered in Germany. Scientists who have tested it say that one part of it in two thousand parts of soapsuds will de- stroy all plant-parasites and so many vari- eties of Facteria that germs will soon have no terrors for poor suffering humanity. Dwellers in the suburbs—where tramps are somatimes more than annoying—might use the name as a defense. In the city the po- lice will, of course, do all that is possible to prevent the use of the title in affrays, but people cannot be prohibited from carry- ing it; a big overccat would be needed to make it a concealed weapon. _ ——__+ ++ ____. Washington's police have again demon- strated their capacity to apprehend crim- irals. The murderer Smith, whose atro- clous butchery was committed only last evening, was captured without difficulty and without the loss of valuable time. A bit of intelligent thought, an intimate knowledge of the haunts of the suspected man, and prompt action on the clues at hand served to land the wretch behind the bars evea before the community was fully aware of his crime. His confession makes it sure, of course, that this labor has not been in vain. The authorities of Mary- land owe a debt of gratitude to the police of the District for their efficient aid. —__+ + =____ If General Weyler took the precaution to procure a round-trip ticket when he left Spain it ts not improper to suggest the advisability of keeping the return coupon where he can lay his hand on it. — WHAT WOMAN ean withstand such tempt!

His speech betrayed the fact that he was from London and he had evidently not ac- customed himself to the usages of language either in his own country or in this. He was watching two policemen get a man into position for the patrol wagon, and a man came up to him and inquired: “What's the matter with that fellow? Is verheated ?” sir,” was the reply; “Hi don’t think ‘e's hoverheated; Hi think ‘e’s hover- drinked.” he Unterrified.
