Marky Water and Its Remedy. Assuming that the Senate will insert in the District DIM the proposed amendment providing for an increased water supply and that the House will accept it, the rights and needs of the situation all point- ing to such a result, it might profit to xo fcrward a few months and consider the suggestion of Senator McMillan that the Potomac water should be subjected to a filtration process and that he intends to turn his attention another year to such a project. Just now the water supply most ‘mattractive to the eye and to the palat+ It appeals strongly, as well, to the imagination, ard its brownish hue brings up visions of wriggling bacteria and linger- ing diseases. imous is Medical opinion is not unan- erning the harmlessness of the turbidity of the water, there being author- ve statements both that there is and ' there is not danger in the suspended narl which gives the fluid its color at cer- tain seasons. There is no divergence on the question of the unpleasant sensations experienced by the consumer at such times. Putting all together it is plain that the course of absolute safety and of unbounded con pul approval Hes in the direction of filtration. The question remains: “Is the sain worth the ccst?" The expense will be very heavy, but less in the case of Washington than in that of some other cities where large sums must be paid for the siies for filtration plants. Here that item will be comparatively smail. While Washington has been studying the ques- tion ether municipalities have been trying experfments, and the various processes have been gradually improved and lessened in cost. ‘The waiting program has not been markedly attended with evil results, net- withstanding the murkiness of the supply during « part of the year. No cases of {Il- ress have been traced directly to the use of Potomac water. Bacilli have been iso- lated from it, it is true, but in such small au tithe as to demonstrate that the sup- ply is as yet generally free trom pollution. An expert examination of the stream will Probably be made this summer, and there should be sufficient ground for intelligent action next year when Congress finds itself in thy mood for taking steps to prevent ikese “periodical discolorations of the sup- ply. 1€ should not be difficult to persuade the s«nators and representatives, especially those who have served here several years, that the work ought to be undertaken. The rivor water is the best testimony and it reaches a majority of the legislators in its natural state, without the intervention of filters, so it can be relied uron to plead its own case very forcibly when the time comes. —~++e—____ A Loop-Hole for the Trolley. A bill passed the House in a hurry last Monday that sheuld have received -loser attention than cppears to have been te- Stowed on it, and tn order to prevent the long-fought trolley invasion the Senate, if it act at all on the measure, should amend it im one importent particular. This is the ‘mil to imeorporate the Washington and Gettysburg Railway Company. Among other provisions Is one reading as follows: “And said corporation is hereby author- ized to construct, equip and operate with the overhead trolley system of electric motive power, a street railway * * * along the following route.” Then follows the route that is designed to connect the pro- posed road with the Maryland and Wash- ington Railway Company, over the lines of when completed, and the Eckington Soldiers’ Home Railway Company. \ equipped with a rapid transit sys- he passengers are to be conveyed to city. It will be seen that the adoption of this route is contingent, and to guard against the prevailing uncertainties {t is further provided that if the roads men- tioned with which connections are to be made have not installed a rapid-transit service by July 1, 1898, then the new com- pany ‘shall have the right to extend its railway south or Tenth street to Delaware avenue extended, thence south on Dela- Ware avenue to Fourth street east ¢x- tende . thence south on Fourth street vast extended, a3 proposed in the highway ex- tension plans and as laid out clty limits to H street authority to use the overhead system on he first-mentioned route, which Iles out- side of the city Mmits, is thus extended to cover the alternative route, a considerable section of which lies within the city Mmits. There is no subsequent provision in the bill to restrict the form of motor to be used on this extension. Section 10 reads thus: “That the sald company may run public carriages propelled by cable, electric or ether mechanical power approved by the Commissioners; but nothing in this act shall allow the use of steam power in lo- comotives.” The section goes on to provide that whenever any street occupied by the road shall be paved the overhead single trolley can only be used in connection with continuous track rails, and after July 1, ime, such rails must generally be used if the overhead system is maintained. These ‘details are given to show that the bill as it is written may permit the use of the over- head trolley within the city limits in a cer- tain contingency. It may be far beyond the intention of the projected corporation to avail flself of this privilege, which the House may have granted only by inadvert- ance, but for the sake of certainty it would be wise for the Senate to insert a clause which will distinctly limit the’ right of the company to use the overhead system to the area lying beyond the city limits. It pays © be particular about such matters. —_~+e-2___ 1 George of Greece finds himself in awkward predicament of facing tne native of having to fight the Turks in Crete or the Greeks at home. ——__~e._ tt really looks as if our republican Insti- tetiors bad feiled to impress Liliuokalani “8 favorably as it was hoped they would. +0. — Whatever else may be said of the Bradley- Martin ball, tt was a financial success, ——__~-— i False News Abroad. In @ London cable printed in a New York Taper yesterday appeared this paragraph: “Rexarding the treaty, the English press row has nothing to say. Arbitration is #n American pringple which England has adopted without “much enthusiasm. If Americans now prefer to repudiate it, when it is their own policy, Englishmen wiil have at least the virtuous feeling that they have done their part to set a good example to the world. ‘The assertion. frequently ca- bled, that the sflver senators are killing the treaty as an act of resentment Against the country which hes persistently opposed the double standard will not help either Senator Wolcott or any other repre- sentative of America to bring about a hew silver conferenc K a When the Senate decided to consider the treaty behind closed doors nothing was made more certain than that this sort of misrepresentation would get abroad, and that England im particular would be fed TAR, | with a large share of It. The Star pre- dicted such a result at the time. And the difficulty now is that these mischievous’ yarns will never be overtaken. They not only have the start of the truth, but Sena- tors, hampered by the obligations of the secret debate, are not in position specifi- cally to denounce thei, But all the same they are nothing but yarns. The silver question does not divide sentiment in the Senate on the subject cf the treaty. There is no more earnest ad- vocate of the treaty than Mr. Turpie. He wculd have the Senate ratify it at once, ard precisely as negotlated by Mr. Olney.- The amendment he has offered is merely for the purpose of meeting some objections to which he himself does not subscribe. And yet there is ro more earnest udvocate of the free coinage of stlver at 16 to 1 as an independent act by this government than the Indiana Senator. He supported Mr. Bryan for President with all the zeal of his nature. Mr. Morgan, a free silver man, is opposed to the treaty in its present form, and is urging amendments. But there is not the slightest evidence that the silver ques- tion is influencing him. He fears that untess care is taken the Nicaragua canal may be brought within the scope of the treaty, and as a champion of that measure he wants it excepted in express terms. Instead of the money question being used to defeat the treaty, is there not ground for the suspicion from these yarns that in some quarters the treaty is being used to the prejudice of the money question? Mr. Wolcott's mission abroad, although self-imposed and without official indorse- ment, is entirely legitimate, and there are in this country many sincere friends of sound money who hope it may be crowned with success. The Colorado Senator is himself, in fact. tion. He wants the money question arbi- trated. He wants a tribunal appointed before which the whole case up to date may be argued. There is widespread dis- tress. All the commercial nations are feeling it. Opinion is divided as to the cause and the remedy. Silver as money of redemption kas been put under the ban in the leading countries, and many men of eminence think it would be a wise step to remove that ban. The question is un- doubtedly worthy of discussion, and the object of Mr. Wolcott abroad is to try to arrange for such discusston. And yet, while he fs busy with that end in view, and carrying himself, as all accounts show, with moderation and discretion, here come a few fakirs and endeavor to persuade the people of Great Britain, whose decision in the matter of an international confer- ence will be of the greatest importance, that the opposition to the Olney treaty in the Senate springs solely from the .advo- cates of free silver, who adopt that means of showing their dislike of a gold standard country. If the arbitration treaty goes over to the extra session, another effort, it is to be hoped, will be made to open the doors of the Senate and invite the public to the de- bate. No other step that could be taken would serve so well to develop the whole cese, and so silence all calumny. ——_ + oe —_—_.
