Subscribers changing their address from one Post-oifice to another should give the lest address as well as the new one. As to Our Street-Sweeping. It seems to be the street-sweeping con- tractor's theory that the people of this commvrnity have nothing of which to com- plain whether he does or does not do the work provided for in the contract and specifications subscribed by himself. If he dces all he ts pledged to do he is paid for it, says he; If he is conspicuously negligent then deductions are made or else he ts not paid at all; the public, therefore, it Is argued, does not lose anything in either case. The absurdity of such a contention ought to be immediately apparent to every one who will stop to give the matter even the slightest thought. Carried to its log- feal conclusion, such an argument would impiy that Washingtonians should be en- tirely satisfled if the streets were never swept and, consequently, all the money approvriated for street cleaning purposes was saved. What the public wants and what the public is going to have is, first, clean streets, and, second, a street-cleaning rvice out of which will come fair re- turns for every dollar invested by the tax- payer. It does not want methods which will permit the contractor, as reported in Friday night's imspection, to omit the eweeping of a street or to set his brooms so high that the sweeping might just as weil b> left undone or to rush his sprinklers along so rapidly as to render their efforis almost entirely useless and then let the centracter take his chances on being If he is caught then there foliows, follow, more or less of reduction compensation, but the material fact, so far aS the public fs concerned, is not that the contractor's compensation has been reduced, but that the streets are either badly swept or are not swept at all. of Saturday’s Star “probably i the list of deductions made by the rspectors who followed the sprink~ weepers Friday night and Satur- of fidelit; The inspectors as improperly sprinkled or © that were similarly reported by The ‘ach of the forces testi- of the other. 5 Some smings were reporteed by the Dis- trict inspectors that The Star's reporters sec because the latter made no te cover the entire field of Friday numerous shortcomiags reporters were not the District inspectors. taught by a comparison of tion reports is that the com- ¥ not only suffers from unswept end feetly swept streets, but that it pays fall for the sweeping of many unswept perfectly swept streets. The evi- seems to show that it is impractica- for the meager force of inspectors, even assuming that all are vigilant and faith- to detect Im the night-time all the and defects of systematic slouch er the entire city under a sysiem is held to impose no obiigation to but only to go without pay if eavgnt in failing to sweep. The District inspectors reported for Friday night one street entirely unswept, and another badly swept because of short brooms. Is it rea- senable to believe that the short brooms went through the empty form of eweep- ing on the reported street alone, being speciaily adjusted in an ineffective fashion for that particular street? The omissions and failures noted by the inspectors sug- gest strongly the existence of others which they failed to note. ‘That all of the im- periect street sweeping was not observed and reported by the inspectors is demon- trated to a certainty by the numerous ad- ditional cases supplied by The Star's rep- r atives. That the tax-payers are not getting their money’s worth out of the street-sweeping contract must be admitted by anyone who has given the matter any consideration; that it will get its money's worth until the system of inspection is strengthened by ad- ditions to the force and by a quickening of the official conscience almost to the point of antagonism to the contractor is not likely. Then it may also be urged that the Commissioners see to it that the contractor pays some attention to the eight-hour law, by which he, in common with ail other gov- ernment contractors, {is unquestionably bound. The contract specifications as well as the law stipulate for eight hours work, but this provision has been disregarded, with the result of overworking an insufli- cient force. With more vigilant inspection must surely come that increase in the me- chanical and other forces necessary to the proper fulfillment of the contract and speci- fications. Meanwhile it is gratifying that the Commissioners, acting on The Star's suggestion, have determined to enforce the specifications which provide that eight heurs shall be the period of a day’s work. The Star has frequently called attention to the evils of the contract system as it exists in municipalities. It has been and still is Invariably the case that the public is miserably served by men whose only object it is to make as much money as they pos- sibly can out of the privileges they seek with so much avidity. It is the con- tractor’s custom, when he has succeeded in underbidding all competitors, to set aside the largest possible percentage of the ap- Propriation as profit; then he uses the re- mainder to do as much as he can in the way of living up to the specifications which he never intended to obey to his financial detriment. This has been the condition as to garbage and buildings and street sweep- ing and other matters of importance placed in the hands of the lowest bidder. Econo- mically this system is a failure. In Its Place we hope soon to have the day-labor method conducted on common business principles. Meanwhile contractors should be held to the strictest accountability. Anything less than that is unfair to the taxpayer. ——_ eo __ At Buzzard’s Bay the absorbing question continues to be bait and not ballots. by on SSS eee Chicago the Place. Although Washington was generally con- ceded to be the better point, democratic national headquarters will be established in Chicago. The decision ts probably Mr. Bryan's, or made in obedience to his escertained wishes. He has a young man’s ideas of battle. He told the people who greeted him on his way to New York that nobody would get nearer to the enemy than he would during the campaign. His Plan evidently comprehends a series of swingii lashing charges, with the com- aS a the columns in person. He is going up close himself, and he wants General Jones to occupy a like position. General Jones, as an ‘old campaigner, thought it would be better for headquarters to be clear of the actual cloud of conflict. The director of the fight ought to command the whole field, by courlers and with his strong glasses. But General Jones is a true soldier, and as Mr. Bryan Insists on his becoming a dashing brigadier, giving atten- tion to one particular section of the enemy's Ine, he yields and takes the place indicated. One effect of the decision will be to ad- vance.Gov. Altgeld at the expense of Mr. Gorman. Mr. Jones in Chicago. will be under Gov. Altgeld’s vine and fig tree. He will necessarily need many pointers, not only as to the situation in Illinois but in the surrounding states, and these must come from Gov. Altgeld and his lieutenants. Tke Altgeld machine is much praised for its effectiveness, although it is now for the first time to be tried in national affairs. ‘The Gorman machine, there is good rea- son to believe, would have suited Mr. Jones better. He would have started with a clear understanding of that, and his cordial per- sonal relations with Mr. Gorman would have insured him much comfort. But, even as matters stand. Mr. Gorman will be in a large measure at Mr. Jones’ command. Mr. Gorman needs Mr. Bryan fully as much in his business as Mr. Bryan needs him. If Mr. Bryan loses in November, Mr. Gor- man will be almost certain to lose next year. On the other haad, if Mr. Bryan wins in November, and Mr. Gorman’s rec- ord in the fight shows that. he rendered valuable assistance to the cause, the new administration’s interest in next year's race in Maryland will probably be very great and in Mr. Gorman’s behalf. But although headquarters, properly so called. will be in Chicago, Washington will be an important point at all times during the campaign, and many democratic lead- ers will gather here for consultation. The news will be interesting, and there will be @ great deal of it, and The Star will chron- icle 1t promptly, thoroughly and impar- tially. --—> = ____ Another New Motor. There are going to be tests of a gas-motor street-car in Anacostia within a few hours. .If those tests are successful there will be much rational rejoicing not only in Ana- cestia, but within the boundaries of this elty as well. For a long while the bob-tail cars of the Anacostia company -have been @ fruitful scurce of annoyance to a great many Washingtonians who believed that with a few exceptions Washington was a city of which to be proud. Now comes premise of a mcdern motor and of incom- perably better service on the Anacostia read. It is to be hoped that the invention ou which President Griswold pins his faith will be a succes3. If it is a success and the read is liberally equipped with it the pev- ple of the District of Columbia will make ar. honest effort to forget the uncomforta- Lle past and will by their pztronage give substantial evidence of unfeigned appre- ciation. With an unobjectionable system of rapid transit in operation between the heart of the city and the city’s southeasi- ern suburb there ought to ensue healthy grewth in a region which has always suf- fcred from lack cf transportation facilities. Tk? gas motor has the appearance of be- ing a good thing.

An Author's Offense. The boy was reading a story aloud. “What's that?” inquired his father, in- terrupting. “It says, ‘the miner dropped to his knees and pressed a nugget to his lips. He had discovered a pocket of free gold.’ “Wal, ye kin shet that book right up an’ take it back ter the lib'ary.” “Don’t you want to hear how comes out?” 0. Ef the hero had ‘a’ discovered free silver ‘twould ‘a’ been somethin’ like. But ez it fs, I've got no further use fur Fane the story A Delusion, “William,” she said, “I've read so much in the comic papers about what a goo ume a man has when his wife ts out of town that I guess I'll go away for a weck or two.” “I've read such things, but they're not true to nature. When a man’s wife goes out of town he goes down to the office the first day or two looking kind of jolly and roguish and pretending he thinks people ought to envy him. Then he begins to lcok as if he needed shaving. A button drops off his vest and doesn’t get sewed on. Then his clothes begin to look mussy in general. And by the time his wife is ready to come home he is the picture of discom- fort. It's all right for the purposes of humor to let on that a man has a royal good time when his wife goes away; “but the theory isn’t borne out by the facts in the case.” “One er de great troubles ‘bout some er de folks dat tries ter refohm de human race,” said Uncle Eben, “is dat dey doan’ wanter do nuffin’ but stan’ ’roun’ an’ bors de job while udder people does all de wuhk.” An Annoal Phenomenon. A few more weeks and then we'll greet The paradox of old— The man who railed against the heat Will growl because it’s cold. The Prince Surpassed. “It seems to me they make a great deal of to-do about the Prince of Wales win- ning a Derby,” sald young Mrs. Torkins. “Are the papers still talking about it?” asked the caller. “¥es. I don’t think {t's anything much to win a Derby. Charley told me yester- day that he expects to win two silk hats on the election.” Sometime or Other. Sometimes they’s a feelin’ gits inter the air Thet makes it a comfort ter say ye don't care; : Thet ye're bound ye won’t worry no fu’ther. ‘An’ ye feel sorter sure, though things seem ter go wrong, Thet they're certain where they belong; They'll all be right some time er ter come out jes’ other. Bo we won't view this world with a look of despair, But with hands ever willin’ an’ heads in the air, We toil on, each helpin’ his brother, A doin’ Its work ¢z our strength will allow An’ singin’ its music the rest we know how, An’ waiting fur some time er other.

Mrs: James Taylor, who resides at No. 82 Bailey avenue, Kingsbridge, New York, on the 1ita of December, 1804, said: “My: age is sixty-five years. For the past two years I have had liver trouble and indigestion. I always em- ployed a physician, which I did in this case,, but ghtained no beneficial results. T never had any faith in patent medi- cines, but baving seen Ripans Tabules recommended very highly in the New York Herald, I concluded to give them a trial. After using them for a short time, I found they were just what my case demanded. I have never employed | physician since, which means $2 a call and $1 for medicine. One dollar's worth of Ripans Tabules xs me a month, and I would not be without them ” if it were my last dollar. ‘They are the only thing that ever gave me any per- manent relief.
