6 THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. SATURDAY......... November 21, 1806. CROSBY THE EVENING STAR has a regular end permanent Family Circulation much more than three times as large as that of any other paper, morning or evening, published in Washing- ton, As a News and Advertising Mcdium it has competitor. G7 Im order to avoid delays, om ac- count of personal absences, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any individual connected with the Mice, but simply to THE STAR. or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. The Prevalent Diphtheria. The handling of a threatened epidemic is a matter for the gravest consideration. Inasmuch as the schools are the main sources of danger, when the disease is of a kind which attacks children of the school age more readily than others, the question of applying precautionary remedies there is the first to arise. The extreme and prob- ably the only wholly effective way to pre- vent infection at these points Is to close the schools entirely until all the danger of con- tamination is over. This is a heavy price to pay for such a means of precaution un- less the menace is very great. It is also doubtful whether the fumigation of all the schools, whether cases have been discov- «red among the pupils or not, is justifiable. The disease germ is generally’ communi- cated from a sufferer by direct contact. Unlike the small pox bacillus that of dipth- theria does not possess active properties for a long period of time. Wholesale fumi- gation in the absence of any evidences of the disease would be a firing in the air, with only a remote chance of: any of the missiles striking the enemy. There is no such thing as effective fumigation of the person and probably the only means of securing safety from infection in the schools wouid be to quarantine the thou- sards of children now in attendance for a period of say two weeks. Present condi- tions do not warrant such a radical meas- ure. Probably the best means at hand are these suggested by The Star over a week ago when parents and teachers were ad- vised to watch carefully for the first evi- dences of throat affection and to make in- stant reports of suspicious conditions that ht lead to the discovery of the exist- ence.ef diphtheria. This, and a careful ob- servance of the regulations relating to the quarantining of infected houses, will do much to prevent a general spread of the disease. The physicians of the city co- operating with parents have the matter largely in thetr own hands. —___+ + +____— What Coustitates a Forfeitare? It now becomes an interesting question as to Just how long the Commissioners wil! permit the garbage contractor to dispose of the gathered material by the unlawful methcd which he has adopted. The limit of endurance on the part of the communi- ty was reached many months ago, and the contract has been so frequently violated that the public patience is exhausted. But the Commissioners are still forgiving. Will they permit scow disposal for a week? Or will they consider a month sufficient to provoke the adoption of drastic measures? If a week or a month why not a year? Ard the worst part of it all is that there is no urance that the trouble that has caused the abandonment of cremati methods for three days will be removed within several months. If the contractor who is paid for cremaiing the garbage may with impunity cease to cremate it for three or a week or a month, why should he go to the trouble and expense of cremating any more during the term of his contract? is much cheaper for him to dump the sSarbaze into the Potomac fhan to cremate it as he has contracted to do, and if by failing to agree with crematory inventors or by other devices he can avotd cremating while collecting the full amount of the con- tract price for cremating, he may reasona- bly be expected to keep himself constantly supplied with business troubles and wran- gles that will suffice to bring the cheap scow to the front, and hold the expensive crematory in the background ‘of disuse, during the entire term of his contract. The only doubtful matter in this ingenious pro- gram is whether the Commissioners will assist in carrying It into effect. 2+ ____ A Warning to Tramps. Judge Miller served tart notice upon the tramp fraternity yesterday when he told a prisoner charged with vagrancy and assault that ke might notify his colleagues that the court intends to tmpose the iimit of the jaw upon similar offenders. The most threatening part of Judge Miller's an- nouncement, which will doubtless find its way to the entire brotherhood of vagrants, is that the sentence doled out by the court will be accompanied by a requirement to work fer the District during the period of enforced seclusion in return for the free board and lodgings granted. The case which called forth this declaration from Judge Miller was a sample of many that might occur In the District if the court and citizens generally did not adopt harsh measures to rid the community of tramps. A peaceable cliizen was waylaid by two beggars, who enforced their demands by a brutal assault, and transformed themselves from mere mendicants into would-be high- way robbers. This may be expected in many cases where the transtents without’ visible means of support who come to Washington in their wanderings begin to infest the streets in search of unearned in- come. The local charity problem is difficult enough without the imposition of this extra burden upon the people. This city hopes to obtain so unsavory a reputation among the hoboes of the eastern circuit as to insure it @ certain degree of immunity from their attentions. —+ ¢ = __ General Weyler is worrled because he cannot find Maceo.

Business is reported to have fallen off a great deal more in the post-office at Lin- coln, Neb., than in the one at Canton, Ohio. ——_+ ee. Sewage Disposal. Few American communities seem willing to handle the question of sewage disposal on the broad lines that its importance de- mands. The stretches of thinly peopled territory in the neighborhood of most mu- nicipalit:es on this side of the Atlantic have enabled them to disregard the necessity, so sure to come, for the disposal of the con- tents of the sewers by other means than mere discharge into the nearest water- way. Legislative bodies, local, state and national, have been inclined to regard the matter as too far-away to be worthy of immediate attention and expenditure, ig- noring the experiences of European cities and the constant tendency of the death- rate to rise in the large centers of popula- tion, owing to the sewer contamination of the water supply. The committee on sew- age disposal of the Board of Trade, as its annual report, published in last evening’s Star, indicates, has encountered this dispo- sition on the part of the law-makers in its efforts to secure adequate appropriations for the establishment of a complete system of sewers and the abandonment of the present unclean and unwholesome method of getting rid of the sewage. The problem is not # pressing locally as it would be if the outlet of the sewers-and ‘THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1896-24 PAGES, the intake of the together. But it deserves serious considera- tion, inasmuch as the tides have an unmis- takable tendency to cast the materials dis- charged from the sewers upon the flats of the river, where they taint the atmosphere. Common humanity demands that the stream that flows past this city and then washes a well-populated shore on its way to the sea should not be thus polluted, es- pecially as science has provided means for the sanitary treatment of sewage in such a manner as not to involve the least danger to the public health. A few facts and fig- ures taken here and there from. reports that have been printed as to experiences in this line elsewhere make interesting ‘read- ing. Glasgow has a large sewage disposal plant in satisfactory operation. In 1894-5 more than 2,439 million gallons of sewage received successful treatment, at a cost of about $16.45 per million gallons, making a total annual cost of about $41,000. The works cost $525,000, including $190,000 for the site. London has two large disposal plants, which in 1895 treated an average of 250 million gallons a day. The operating expenses aggregated $17,000 for the year, making an average of about $5.64 a million gallons. The plants cost $4,728,770, of which $662,322 was spent for ships for carrying the resultant product out to-sea. The fixed charges on the plants amounted to $248,000, making the total annual charges $750,000, an average of $3.40 a million gallons for the year. : Smaller plants are worthy of considera- ticn. The town of Salford, England, wit @ population of about 200,000, has a system capable of treating 9,000,000 gallons daily. The annual cost of treatment is $35,000, exclusive of the cost of pumping and car- rying the product to sea. The Wayne county, Michigan, poor farm is provided with a disposal plant that cost $1,000 and is operated at an annual cost of eighty cents per capita for a population of Suv. Other small places in this country have adopted systems, but their experiences have not been sufficiently extensive to com- pare the results with those reported from Europe. One important factor to be taken into account is that uader some methods of treatment, such as that in use in Glas- gew, the cost of operation may be reduced by the sale of the “sludge” for fertilizing purposes. Just as in the matter of filtration, the Proposition is not experimental. The ex- act cost can be ascertained and the precise results can be known in advance. The question to be decided is whether the public health is sufficiently menaced to Warrant the exrenditure necessary to secure immunity from danger from this source and a clean river. — +02 —____ Let Mr. Bryan Alone. ‘The dispatches state that at the meeting of the executive committee of the National Republican League held in Chicago yester- day “the proposed tour of W. J. Bryan in the west was discussed. It was agreed to hold meetings wherever Mr. Bryan speaks. Books and pamphlets will be dis- tributed in all the towns of the Bryan schedule, and speakers will then be sent." This program, if carried out, will play directly into Mr. Bryan's hand. It will add to the interest felt in his deliverances, serve to swell his crowds, and forward materially his scheme for keeping up the agitation of the silver question. His purpose is clear enough. He considers himself still in com- mission as silver’s champion, and he 1s seeking to continue in possession of the center of the stage until 1900 rolls around. This is his privilege. If by his own exer- tions and by the assistance of his followers he can do this thing, well and good. But why should the sound money men of either party lend him a hand? As a matter of fact, Mr. Bryan is silver's champion now only by his own election. He has no authority to speak for any party. He is a private citizen, and as such may tour the country at his pleasure, and should be permitted to do so without in- terruption or especial opposition notice of any kind. That he would enjoy such notice and benefit by it is certain. “See,” his friends would exclaim, “how the goldbugs still fear this man! He is only a private citizen now, and as such fs speaking by invitation and appointment to the people, and yet the goldbugs are camping on wus trail just as diligently as they did while as a candidate for the presidency he was thundering in the name of a great party!” Why not let Mr. Bryan hoe his own row in his own way? Twat is the policy which, in the end, will be certain to do him the most harm. His whole play ts for notice. He cannot survive without it, and he will measure his success from now on by his ability to extract “answers” from local spellbinders and nervous opposition man- agers. What Mr. Bryan may be able to do for himself by the course he seems to have marked out is a question. It will be most surprising if he does not greatly injure himself as a political leader. Some of the charm which bound his followers to him in the recent campaign will certainly dis- appear. He bounded into the arena last July, young, eager, unknown, ana strip- |! “T’ | ped for the fray. He was not carrying a single pound of surplus record. But by lu, if he keeps up the pace he has set for himself, he will be pretty well winded from four years of steady talk and bur- dened by a record. ——_~ee. ‘The suggestion that Judge Cox will not take speedy advaniuge of his privilege of retirement from the bench is welcomed by this community, not merely as a movement in furtherance of the “home-rule” Principle, but because his record as a judge ts so ad- mirsble that Washington wishes to enjoy the:benefit of his jucicial services just as long as: possible. 5 — >—_es___ Zola says that he likes the bicycle for the forgetfuiness it bestows.

Official returns from South Dakota and ‘Wyoming showed that the presidential elec- tors chosen in each state were for Bryan, giving the latter 175 votes in the electoral college and McKinley 272; republicans se- cured all the electors in twenty-two states and twelve in Kentucky; democrats carried the same number of states and secured one elector in Kentucky. A special cablegram from Rome announced the appointment by the pope of the Rev. Dr. Thomas J. Conaty of Worcester, Mass, to the rector- ship of the Catholic University, made va- cant by the resignation of Bishop Keane in September. The General Assembly of the Knights of Labor, in session at Roches- ter, N. ¥., adopted a free silver declira- tion. General Stephen Clay was chos- en to succeed Gen. Gordon of Georgia in the United States Senate, and Gen. E. W. Pettus to succeed Senator Pugh of Ala- bama. The President appointed Wm. 8. Forman of Illinois to be commissi ot internal revenue in place of Joseph S. Mil- ler, resigned. arles B. Dickman and Col, Emilia Nunez, charged with being implicat- ed in a Cuban filibustering expedition on the steamer Laurada, were put on trial in New York. The sheriff andejailer of Charles county, Md., were indicted for mal- feasance in office in permitting the lynzh- ing of Cocking and the escape of George Matthews. The seventh congress of the P. E. Church of America was held at Norfolk, A congress of religions began at Indian+ «polis. The national convention of the Wo- men’s Christian Temperance Union closed at St. Louis.

The British steamer Memphis ran on the rocks on the Irish coast and was broken in half. Twelve lives were lost. Thirty men were killed by an explosion of fire damp in a colliery at Recklinghausen, Westphalia. The Meline cabinet narrowly escaped defeat in the French assembly dur- ing the consideration of the case of Captain Dreyfus, who was convicted of selling plans of fortifications. M. Shishkine was appointed minister of foreign affairs of Russia in succession to the late Prince Lo-,| banoff-Rostovaky. General von Gossler, German minister of war, announced in the reichstag that as a result of the press com- ments on the case of Lieutenant Brus witz, wko killed a civilian for accidentally brushing against him, the government had been compelled to prosecute many civilians for insulting the army. The Spanish lean of 250,000,000 pesetas was largely oversub- scribed. The deaths included Prince Otho von Stoilberg-Wernigerode and Admiral Sir George Henry Richards, K. C. B., con- servator cf the Mersey, England. In the District. Arguments in the matter of the applica- tion of Receiver Schoepf of the Eckington and Belt Railroad Companies for permis- sion to issue receiver's certificates to cover the expenses of the improvements ordered by Congress were delivered before Justice Cox of the District Supreme Court, who reserved his decision. The garbage crema- tory at the foot of Squth Capitol street was closed on account of trouble between the contractor and the inventor, and the former resumed the practice of disposing of garbage by means of scows. The Commis- sioners granted a hearing to persons in- terested in the opening of North Capitol street to the Soldiers’ Home. Several cases of scarlet fever were developed, and the disease was traced to the milk supply; the health officer investigated and revoked sev- eral dairy permits. The diphtheria epidemic spread somewhat during the week; cases appeared among pupils of the Force School, and the building was closed for fumigatior. The seventy-fifth anniversary of Gonzaga College was celebrated. The fall race meet of the Washington Jockey Club at Ben- ning was begun. The Columbia Association of Baptist Churches and the Washington conference of Congregational Churches held annual sessions. The National Grange of Patrons of Husbandry adjourned, after a ten days’ session. John Minor, colored, was killed by Frank Turner, also colored, in Southwest Washington.’ Christopher’ C. Fearson was convicted of the murder of John L. Ford in Georgetown in August. ——_ + __. SHOOTING STARS. A Foot Ball Symposium. Ist Citizen: “ANl other pretensions but move us to glee.
