EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. THURSDAY July 30, 1896. THE CROSBY S. NOYES. . Editor. THE EVENING STAR has a re; end permanent Family Circulation much more than three times as large as that of any other paper, morning F evening, published in Washing- tom. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. t7In order to avoid delays, om ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed te any indiv connected with the simply to THE STAR, er to the Editorint or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. THE STAR BY MAIL. The Star will be mailed to any address in the United States or Canada if ordered at this office in person or by letter or postal card. Persons leaving the city for any period vhould remember this. Terms: 13 cents per week; 25 cents for two weeks, or 50.cents per month. Invariably In advance. Subscribers changing their address from one Post-office to another should give the last address as well as the new one. As to Street-Sweeping and Contract Work. The communication out of which the street-.weeping controversy has arisen, to which the contractor to-day makes an- other contribution, came from a citizen who knows neither the contractor nor the inspectors; who saw that some of the work was being done apparently in a slipshod manner and who very properly made com- plaint. The contractor and his superin- tendent admit that faulty sweeping Is not uncommon—that places have to be swept a second time to satisfy the inspector and that sometimes work ts thrown out alto- gether and not paid for—so he must not be surprised if a citizen occasionally discov- ers and reports a failure before the inspec- tor—who may or may not be very vigil- ant—has had an opportunity to find it out. ‘The contractor insists that he fuifills every detail of the specifications by which he is supposed to be governed. Perhaps he does. That has not been the impression of The Star in the light of the reports which have come to it. That question will probably come up later for further discussion. The Star calied attention to a suggestion made by competent authority in New York as to the best manner of cleaning asphalt streets and in that connection reiterated its belief that the day’s labor plan was superior to the contract Contractor Dagget says that his ons do not require him to use water In such quantity as to quefy on the street surface. That has rot been questioned. i ifications do call for complzte of the highway from curb to the contractor's failure to ficiency of water to at least many complaints have come According to the evidence of reets that are too wide te be one sprinkler have, In many in- moistened down their centers, the eutters and adjacent street sur- face, where a large percentage of the dirt was, have been left neglected and irritat- irgly dry. The Star's desire for the use of more water in sprinkling may, by a reform on this point, be gratified within the spect fications. It is for the District Commis- sicners to decide as to the quantity of wa- ter to be used. If they want very heavy sprinkling, they can undoubtedly get it: Mr. Daggett will supply the reed: he has de- clared that it is Mhancially immaterial to him whether much or little water be in- sisted upon. It seems certain that the specifications do not call for a dirt-liquify- ing quantity of moisture, but Mr. Daggett’s announced liberality in this matter. will make smooth the way for a change In the sprinkling practice, even te this extent, if the authorities desire to make such a change as the Manhattan expect in The Star said he believed would be desirable. There are two sides to the question as to whether the contract system or ¢ ays” labor is the more desirable in the ¢onduct cf municipal affairs. On the one side 1s tho contractor. On the other side is the citizen who believes In getting what he pays for, even if he has to pay a little more for what he gets than he is frequently called upon to pay for something he does not get. Under the contract system the work is often, if not invariably, done in the interests of the contractor, who always has an eye to his own financial welfare; the less work he does the more money he makes. Given a certain amount of work to be done in a certain way the municipal- ity can do it for less money than any con- tractor would undertake the job for. stances. while ctor must make a profit: the Would pay out simply the work and would therefore save the contract would be the profiz.

The details were printed in The Star at that time. Since then nothing has oceurred to bring about a change of heart in the superintendent nor have any of his arguments been ratfonally assailed. Mr. MeKenzie’s statements have been accept- ed by a majority of District taxpayers; they have met with favor in the eves of the Commisstoners and ‘efore Congress and may soon be looked for on the statute beoks. A business-like day bor ad- ministration of public affairs would be truly economical. ————+ee—____ It would be a great gratification to the general public, a-foot and a-wheel, if the ‘road-hog’”” and the “scorcher” could be made to confine their attentions to each other. —~-e+___ It is only fair to warn Tom Watson that his ticket ts in great danger of being nu- merously bolted. ———_ + e —___ Vehicles and Pedestrinns. - The question as to how to govern the use of the streets by bicyclists, pedestrians and those who drive horses—which is now being considered by the Commissioners of the District—should be easy of settlement in a manner that will meet the desires of all the sensible people who are interested in the subject. It fs not too much to say that ninety-nine out of every one hundred of the bicyclists in the District of Columbia are heartily in favor of the adoption of regula. tions that will best protect the public at large and themselves from the possibility of collisions that are nearly always pro- ductive of bodily imjury and, te the bi- cyclist, of financial lons, owing.to the break- age of the machine. With this taken for granted, as it may well and justly be, the Commissioners should, it is believed, make plain regulations for the use of the streets and pavements by pedestrians and the driv- ers of vehicles. Pedestrians, for instance, should be made to understand that cros: ing from one side of the street to the other except at street crossings is productive of Personal danger to themselves and must be done at their own risk. Drivers of vehicles should be compelled to observe the rule of keeping to the right of the road on all the streets of Washington except the streets which have car-tracks running through their centers, and which have thus come to be regarded as double streets. There is a regulation now that covers the matter of double streets thus formed, and there should be one to make all vehicles keep to the right on the single streets. In such a case all those who use the highways would know Perfectly well what was expected of them and could be properly dealt with in case they did not exert this knowledge. ——_~ eo _____ The adoption of an optional measured- service rate system in the cities of Balti- more and Washington by the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company, which Permits the users of telephones to pay a stated sum for a stipulated. number of mes-' Sages sent in one year, may be taken a3 an indication that the general public pro- test against the enormous prices charged tor the use of telephones in the larger cities of this country 1s beginning to be felt. The adoption of the system may be also re- garded by those whose natures are hope- ful as the first step, halting though it may be, taken by the telephone people toward a fair policy in the treatment of its sub- scribers who pay the present excessively high flat rates. ————_ > «> —____ Good news indeed is that which assures us that the prospects are good for a long run of steady work at the Washington gun foundry. Good news, for two reasons. In the first place, because the output of the foundry will result in the armament of the auxillgry cruisers New York, Paris, St. Louts and St. Paul, hitherto neglected and comparatively useless in case of emer- gency; in the second place because stable employment will be provided for an excel- ient force of skilled workmen whose homes are here. —++o—___ Whoever the next President is, it Is safe to say that he will be so far out of sympa- thy with Mr. Cleveland's views that there will be little prospect of their growing very chummy when they ride up the ave- nue together on inauguration day. —_- e+ ___ It is no more than candor to remark that if Mr. Lease knows as much about running a drug store as his wife does about making trouble in politics, he does not deserve the gibes which have been so freely and dis- courteously flung at him. > + —____ Washington is rapidly reaching a point where it can assure the next President, be he Mr. McKinley or Mr. Bryan, that the White House menage will be in no danger of oleomargarine tmpositions. —__+ e+ —___ The first gun—the first big gun—has heen fired at the democratic fortifications. The gunner was Speaker Reed, and the sound of the explosion was heard all over the United States. — + _____ There Is not much probability that the results attained by Spain in her Cuban complizations will lead Turkey to apply to that country for advice as to the manage- ment of Crete. —_~+eo____ Secretary Morton would be sorry to see the presidency go away from Nebraska through a failure on the part of that state to put enough candidates in the field. —__ - + +2 The same undersized force of two hun- dred and twenty men was engaged today in the work of construction on the new city post office building. —_ -- + ee ____ Dr. Jameson may have suspected that there was a streak of ill-luck ahead of him when the poet laureate picked him out to experiment upon. The robbery of a faro bank in Kentucky may be cited as a noteworthy reversal of the usual order of things. Oe SHOOTING STARS.

But I can't help thinking over the misfortunes of two friends of mine who recently married. One got a girl who can cook and insists on play- ing the piano. The other got one who knows how to play the piano and insists on cook- ing.” Lacked Modern Facilities. “I am sorry,” remarked Mr. Blykins’ wife, “to see that you are of such an ir- ritable disposition.” “I guess that most men have their moods,” he replied, a little defiantly. “Men are all liable to lose their tempers at some time. “Think of the philosophers!
