Reciprocity and the Monroe Doctrine. European powers insist on construing .the Mcnroe doctrine to suit themselves. They profess to be unable to sce in it anything but the estaolishment of a protectorate by the United States over all territory in North and South America. They argue that if the United States may interfere at all in any matter coming up in controversy between a power on this Side of the water and a power on that side, it must become responsible for the conduct of the powers on this side. As absurd as this proposition is, it yet conveys a valuable suggestion. And the suggestion is that the influence of the United States should be materially in- creased and strengthened throughout the whole of the territory mentioned. The United States is the great power of the western hemisphere, and will remain so. It is the guide for all the lesser powers. ‘They fashion their institutions as well as may be after the patterns found here. ‘They reckon themselves fortunate and prosperous by their ability to copy. what exists and flourishes here. ‘The best means for drawing the countries ot this hemisphere the more closely to- sether are the means of trade. Why should not those means be employed? Why should Brazil, or Argentina. or Vene- zvela, or any other of those countries, send to Europe for anything that the United States can supply? Why should not the United States have the call? And, of course, why should not the products of those countries that are needed here have the preference here? This policy, it will be remembered, was inaugurated under the reciprocity clause of the McKinley bill, and, as far as applied, it worked exceedingly well. Trade with sev- eral of the countries to the south, and no- tably with Brazil, grew amazingly, and would have continued to grow. But reci- rrocity was condemned with other things as the result of the elections of 1892, and aS soon as the new Congress could get at them the reciprocity conventions were re- pealed. ‘Those conventions should be renewed, 1 still others established. The next Con- stess will take up the subject, and the op- portunity will be propitious for the inaugu ration of a broad and well considered policy of that kind. Such a policy goes appropri- ately with the policy of protection, and the United States and its neighbors should have the fullest benefit of it. All would profit by it: and so encouraged and built up. the Central and South American re- publies would soon become such valuable and powerful coadjutors that the United States would not find it necessary to raise a warning hand in any way against en- croachments from across the sea. Crer.ation rates are being paid to the gar- bage contractor for a service notoriously far removed from a cremation basis. For collecting and shipping the garbage down the river we were paying less than $30,000 annually. For cremation or reduction the appropriation was increased to $60,000. We are now paying the latter sum to those who contract to cremate the garbage, but who in fact vary the eld $0,000 per annum system of scow disposal merely by spas- modic intervals of partial cremation. When the desirability of a complete compliance with the terms of his contract is suggested to the contractor he alleges a disagreement with the inventor of the crematory or some other irrelevant matter in excuse, and calls upon the Commissioners to straighten out his troubles, as if the District had any re- F sibility in the matter except to insist that the contractor perform his iicwact, ard adopt all the measures necessary to enable Rim to do so. The curtain should fall promptly upon this farce. The con- tractor should be held strictly to a full per- fermance of his agreement, for which he is paid. Failure on his part should not be everlooked because of disputes with third parties. Instead of trying to adjust his 4f- fairs the Commissioners ought in justice te the taxpayers and householders put to the contractor the final test, and if he fails they should take the contract away from aim and proceed to do the work of colleci- ing and burning the garbage themselves. ‘This is their plain duty in view of the letter and spirit of the law. If they are to act as tender guardians for the contractor, gra- tuitously sharing with him his responsibili- ties and annoyances, it would be better for them to substitute themselves entirely for the contractor, end either cremate the gar- bage or save to the taxpayers the $30,000 per annum which is wasted upon cremation which does not cremate. 3 ____ Strect Cleaning by Hand. Hand work in street sweeping is undoubt- edty more thorough than machine work, for obvious reasons, and the result of the former is naturally cleaner streets. The re- cent experiments on this line in Washing- ton have shown that cleaning by hand costs but little more than the machine sys- tem. It is not conclusively proved that the cest of hand work, if done on a large scale with a view to permanence, would exceed at all that of the machines, though the cersequence of an adoption of the former for a considerable fraction of the streets would doubtless be the need of a larger appropriation, the present allotment being concededly too smali for thoroughly satis- factory work under any system. The ques- tion is whether the better results are worth @ small possible additional cost. There can be little doubt of the answer given by a “great majority of citizens, who would gladly pay a trifle more if they could enjoy the fruits of their expenditure in cleaner streets. ———++ee—___ Mr. Watson's temperament is ardent and poetic. He would rather see his letters of acceptance go into the waste-basket any day than submit to their teing blue-pen- cilled. —__~+-+___ It is now pretty generally conceded that if the victory again turns from the banner of the silver cchorts, it will not be the fault of the District democracy. +o A Complicated Situation. The Eckington-Relt rapid transit question 4s in peculiar shape and Judge Cox will find It no easy task to unravel the intrica- cies of the situation when he decides next Monday upon the receiver's application for permission to raise funds to make an ex- perimental test of the air motors for which he recently invited proposals. The law of June 10 last required that within three months the companies should begin to equip the city portions of their lines with compressed air motors. If after a trial of three months the motors should, in the Judgment of the Commissioners, prove to he a proper and satisfactory motive power, the Comn:issioners were authorized and di- rected to grant permits for the equipment of the lines with the motors; and within should cease to use horse power on all of their lines. But in the event of 4 faflure’ of the air motors to meet the approyal of the Commissioners, the companies should, within eighteen months from June 1, in- stall on all their city Ines an ynderground electric system. The act provided a pen- alty of $50 a day for the violation of any of the provisions of the section embracing these requirements. The first period of three months passed without an attempt being made to tegin the experiment. There has, therefore, been no preliminary trial forthe informa- tion of the Commissioners. The six months’ period is about to end’ without’ tre appearance of the motors....A strict construction of the statute will take from the companies December 10 the ‘rightto’ continue the compressed air experiment. If it could be demonstrated to the satis- faction of the court and the public that the companjes have used due diligenée and have shown good faith in the effort to se- cure a compressed air equipmént, there could be little disposition on the part of the public to question the advisability of giving the statute a Hberal interpretation and permitting the experiments to pro- ceed.- The law has already been violated by the failure of the company to begin the experiments within three months. It is im- possible now to meet the other require; ments. It is perhaps to the local interest to have a speedy, inexpensive test of the best compressed air motor which can be found. The peorle of this-city do not be- lieve, however, that the company has shown good faith in dealing with ‘the air motor matter, and, waiving the question of legality, they will protest against any ex- perimenting in this direction, unless the court compels an immediate test of the best air motor now in existence and actual operation. Two fcrms of compressed air cars are, it is said, in practical operation in New York today. It should be possible to arrange with one or both of the com- panies owning the two systems to send here at once for trial one of their New York cars. ‘lhe public will protest against any air motor program which means mere- ly a device for delay, until Congress can be approached for relieving legislation. —__—__ ++ ___ Au Extra Session. ‘The question of an extra session of the Fifty-fifth Congress grows in interest. Prominent republicans are quoted on each side. Those who favor the ‘suggestion point to the necessity of early action both with regard to the tariff and the currency. The verdict just rendered at the polis should, they hold, be put into effect at ence. Those who oppose the suggestion offer as their reason the belief that an ex- tra session of Congress would revive dis- trust and uncertainty, and throw the coun- try back into the agitation from which it has just emerged. Their phrase is that the country needs a rest and wants a rest. Much, of course, depends upon the devel- opments of the next three months. Some things are very pressing, and must be met. For one thing in particular, the govern- ment must have more revenue. If the Sen- ate at this short session should rise above the Ines that divided it at the long session and pass the Dingley bill, or some meas- ure of hike import, and that, added to the revival of business now in progress, should tone up the general situation, the need of an extra session of the next Congress would be greatly modified, if it did not en- tirely disappear. But if the Senate still halts at a revenue measure, putting again the interests of party and faction above those céthe country, and adjourns, with no provision made for the proper support of the government, then the new Congress should be, and probably will be, called to- gether at an early day. —_-e+___ The Memorin! Bridge. There is one bill pending before Congress relating to a local matter that should be comparatively easy of final enactment at the coming session, as it has already passed the Senate and has behind it a strong offi- cial influence. This is the bill providing for the construction cf a memorial bridge across the Potomac river to connect the Washington shore with the Arlington reser- vation. Quartermaster General Sawtelle urges the project in his annual report and points out that such a bridge would afford direct and rapid communication between the city and the military post at Fort Myer, which is at present almost isolated from the capital. The nearest means of access is the Aqueduct Bridge, which offers only a circuitous route to the center of the city and is not over strong. The Long Bridge is out of the question for such a pur- pose, and the srowing traffic between Wash- ington and Virginia demands a new nd inodern siructure directly under the control of the government. The memorial features of the project add to its desirability. A cheap bridge is a bad investment and an architecturally ugly bridge is the product of useless economy. A structure that in- eludes both strength and beauty is deserv- ed by the nation’s capital, whose bridges are now a disgrace. Se®retary Lamont will find no more worthy object of his energetic labor in dealing with Congress this winter than the memorial bridge bill. ——_+eo—____ Aquatics at the Naval Academy. Captain Cooper, superintendent of the Naval Academy, calls attention in his an- nual report to a peculiar state of affairs at that institution. He indicates that the ca- dets have taken so generally to such sports as base ball and foot ball that they have practically abandoned the water as a field fer athletic exercise. Time was when a naval cadet or a midshipman was quite as much at home in or on the water as on land, and consequently he learned to love the element so intimately a part of his pro- fession, but in recent years there has come such a sharp rivalry for athletic honors be tween tne educaticnal institutions as to considerably discount aquatics. Boating has had somewhat of a revival but foot ball continues, strangely enough, to hold first place in the hearts of American students, despite its roughness and dan- gers. Captain Cooper hopes to cultivate anew some of the old-time love for the water in the hearts of Uncle Sam's young sailors, and to this end he has provided two eight-oared shells and several other boats for racing. Clean, honest sport of this kind on the water can not be sur- Passed as a means of developing muscle, grit and staying qualities and in counter- acting the unhappy tendency to trickiness that seems to pervade most modern out- door sports. Considered purely from the standpoint of affording necessary exercise a racing shell is conceded to be almost equal to a gymnasium and far superior to the foot-ball gridiron. ———_++e—_____ Some of the men who declared that bus- iness would not be bettered by McKinley's election still cling to their original opinion. But it is a condition and not a theory which confronts them. ——~r+e—___ The fortune which seems to follow a man who succeeds in giving his name to'a tariff bill has, perhaps, already begun to inspire a genial hopefulness in Mr. Ding- ley. —————_+ + > ___ Ex-Candidate Sewall in discussing the prediction of good times refuses to believe that there is any such good luck in store for the country—or the republican party. ———— + ee ____ The most if not the oaly suspicious cir- cumstance about the proposed Venezuelan treaty is the fact ‘that Great Britain is well satisfied with its terms. —_+¢2—___ Mr. Bayavd is not taking any chances on becoming persona non grata in Great Britain. aq THE WEEK, - Announcement was made that England and the United States had concluded an agréement respecting an arbitration treaty |-hetween England and Venezuela. This ac- tion on England’s part was universally re- garded as a recognition of the Monroe doc- trine and an admission of this country’s right to intervene in a dispute between Engiand and one of the South American re- publics. The European press declared it to be a great diplomatic triumph for the Unit- ed States. The good effects of the triumph of the sound money campaign continued. It was stated that 30,000 men had been put to work since election. ‘The result in Ken- tucky was decided, McKinley obtaining a Plurality of 258 for 12 of the 13 electors, Bryan receiving the other elector through incorrect marking of ballots. South Da- kota republicans gave up the electoral, but cialmed the state ticket. The governor of Delaware declared the three republican electors chosen, and disregarded technical objection that would have given the demo- crats one. The annual convention of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union met at St. Louis. The General As- sembly, Knights of Labor, met at Roches- ter, N. Y. Richard V. D. Wood, receiver of the Metropolitan Bank of New York, Mas charged with bavirg misappro- priated $60,000 of the bank's funds. Gov- ernor Mitchell of Florida called a conven- tion, to meet at Tampa, January 20, 1807, to consider plans for southern harbor de- fenses. The caucus of democratic members of the Georgia legislature took a number of iteffectual ballots for the Senatorship. ‘The battle ship Iowa, on her builders’ trial trip, attained a speed of 16.27 knots an our, .27 of a knot above her contract re- guirements. The United States battle ship Texas sank in shallow water at her dock in the Brooklyn navy yard. Napoleon Sarony, the photographer, and Dr. Henry A. Mott, a well-known chemist, died. Foreign. Lord Salisbury, spéaking at the lord mayor's dinner, in London, said he believed the controversy over the Venezuelan boundary ended. A cantonal court ordered the Bank of St. Gall, Switzerland, to hand over to the relatives of the wife of the long-missing Archduke John of Austria a million franks deposited by the archduke prior to his disappearance in 1889. Mrs. Walter M. Castle of San Francisco was re- leased from prison in London, where she had been confined under a sentence for al- leged shoplifting. One hundred persons were killed in Everek, Turkey, and nearly all the Armenian houses in the place were pillaged. Captain General Weyler took the field in person against the insurgents in Cuba under Antonio Maceo. John Auguste Huge Gylden, director of the observatory of Goettingen, died. In the District. The District Commissioners issued their schedule of street improvements for the coming fiscal year.. Further complications arose between the garbage contractor and the inventor of the garbage crematory at the foot of South Capitol street, and the of cessation the garbage service was threatened. The health officer presented his afinual report. Some alarm was occa- sioned among the people by the unusual prevalence of diphtheria and the Peabody School building was closed and fumigated because of the development of several cases among the pupils. Arguments were begun in support of the application of the United States Electric Lighting Company for a Permanent injunction to prevent the Dis- trict Commissioners from granting permits for electrical construction to the Potomac Electric Power Company, and from award- irg the contract for public electric lighting to that company. The receiver for the Eckington and Belt Railway Companies presented his report to Judge Cox of the Listrict Supreme Court, detailing the pro- Posals received by him for the experi- mental equipment of the roads on a rapid transit basis, and recommending the ac- ceptance of the Hoadley moter for test pur- poses. The thirtieth session of the Na- tional Grange, Patrons of Husbandry, was begun. The annual meeting of the board of trade was held; reports were presented of the work accomplished during the past year and new directors were elected; at a subsequent meeting of the board of direc- tors the old officers were re-elected. The annual sessions of the Associated Chari- ties, Woman's Suffrage Association of the District and the National Association of Agricultural Colleges and Experiment Sta- tions were held. B. W. Frazier, proprietor of the Hotel Wellington, committed fiuicide near the Chain bridge by shooting. ——_- + +e -—____- SHOOTING STARS. Scientifically Explained. “I sce that your candidate for Congress says he’s going to keep on trying, in spite of his defeat,” said one politician, “Yes,” replied the other. “Do you think he stands any chance?” “No. ? oes he think so?" “I don’t.believe he does.
