6 THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. TUESDAY. .February 23, 1897. CROSBY S. NOYES. or evening, ton. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. G7 Im order to avoid delays, thes GE count of personal absence, letters Id mot be addressed to any individaal connected with > Tot ply to THE STAR, or Editorial or Business Depart- ing Potomac. The Potomac is rising to flood height. Usually this announcement causes a cor- responding rise in the local hopes that the Long Bridge will some day be swept away harmlessly by the impatient waters. but this year the chances of such a result being accomplished are too small to be sertously considered. The river is free from ice, and unless there should be a wholly unprecedented increase in the vol- ume of water in the upper gorges, such a8 is not to be expected now that the rains have ceased, the local interests along the river will not suffer greatly. When the spring freshets bring down-stream quanti- tles of ice that cannot find free passage beneath the low-lying bridge a dam ts formed which backs the water over the low areas lying adjacent to the river, and untold damage has been done in the past by the resulting inundations. Even when there is no ice in the river the channel, choked at the bridge point by masses of stone piled around the weak piers to pre- vent them from being swept away, proves inadequate to carry away the flood that ccmes pouring down from the hills of Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia. Millions have been spent in the reclama- tion of the flats and the straightening and deepening of the Potomac channels, 2nd this great work is jeopardized every few months through the interposition of an obstacle to the flow of the river, the re- moval of which would cost comparatively little. A flood such as might easily be caused any spring by the Long Bridge would destroy both private and public property worth many hundred times the cost of a new structure of a modern sort and adapted to its surroundings. So it is that, notwithstanding the inevitable loss which a freshet causes, the people of Washington would almost welcome such an event if it would remove the bridge- dam and thus put an end to the threat which annually hangs over thousands of the citizens. This feeling ts accentuated by the procrastination of Congress in ap- proaching the bridge problem—wSich 1s such an easy problem, after all—and the growing pessimism of the people with re- gard to the prospect of action. But unfor- tunately the bridge seems safe this year and fortunately, on the other hand, so are the river properties. ——_seoe—___—_ Free Medical Treatment. There can be no reasonable objection to the plan of the local physicians, as outlined in the report of the proceedings of the Medical Association, which was published yesterday, to restrict the free treatment of patients at the hospitals to those who are genuinely unable to pay the usual fees. The scheme of reform is simple and Just. It requires thuse asking for free treatment to present a card bearing a cer- tificate of worthiness, signed by the police authorities, the superintendent of the As- Sociated Charities, or a reputable physi- cian. Under such a system there is Ittle chance of hardship or suffering for lack of proper medical attention or on the other hand of the encouragement and develop- ment of that unfortunate tendency of many people io pauperize themselves when- €ver opportunity offers. eo ___ Sallormen in the Parade. The five hundred sailors ordered here by Secretary Herbert to take part in the tn- augural parade will form an interesting feature of that great pageant, appropri- ately representing the naval power. The number is well chosen. A larger contingeat might prove monotenous and the extra men would by no means add to the impressive- ness or the sttractiveness of the demon- stration. What is mainly desired Is a type ef Uncle Sam's sailormen, and it can pe safely assumed that the crews of the white squadron will afford the necessary ma- terial. oe Great Britain’s de: for mutual pacitic war may be detected more readily in that hemisphere than tn this. —— « = —___ In connection with Washington's birty day, the King of Greece would like to have At remembered that the father of this coun- try was not the only man with backbone who was named George. seo —____ In various ways the Daughters of the Revolution manage to convey the impres- sion that the martial spirit of ‘76 is not wholly extinct. eo _____ If Mr. can produce as mucn asc- tivity tn business as he has produced among the political gossips, he will be indeed a historic character. ——_-+e Greece does not appear to appreciate the fact that in modern warfare,, fighting is thought of only as a last rescrt. soe The Kentacky Senatorship. The visit of Gov. Bradley of Kentucky to nion by invitation renews interest In the emtucky senatorial Problem. Both sides to the republican controversy have now been heard dov. Bradley represents one side, and Congressman Hunter, who repre- sents the other, visited Mr. McKinley sev- eral weeks ago. What will the harvest be? The e case has been so frequently stated it ts now well understood. Mr. Blackburn's commission will expire March 4th. The re- bublicans have a clear majority of the leg- islature, and by concert of action can elect one of their party to the Senate for a full term. The difficulty lies in bringing about that concert of action. Republican divi- sions prevented an election last winter, when, as between the republicans and the democrats, the vote in the legislature was @ tie, but when by harmony among them- selves the republicans might have captured @ populist vote. Since then the republicans, &t special sessions called to fill vacancies occasioned by death or resignation, have inereased thetr vote, until, with regard to the senatorship, they are masters of the situation. But there has been no corresponding cbange in the attitude of the republican factions toward each other, which made election last winter impossible. That is to say, there had not been, before the leaders of the two factions were called to Canton to discuss matters with the President-elect, What will now develop as the result of those conferences Is awaited with some im- patience. Gov. Bradley is not a candidate for the Senate himself, although the belief ts that he would like very much to be chosen. His object in all of his maneuvering ts under- stood to be to defeat Dr. Hunter, who is a candidate, and who claims votes enough to secure the caucus nomination for Senator if the governor will but call the legislature together fn extra session. He insists that the party fm caucus should be permitted to decide the matter, and that it te the duty of Gov. Bradley, regardiess of afi personal feelings in the premises, to convene the leg- felature in order that action in the regular way may be taken. Gov. Bradley has been considering the advisability of appointing a Senator on March 5th, and calling the legislature to- gether at a later day to replace his ap- pointee with a Senator regularly elected. An objection urged to this policy is that the Senate would not seat such an ap- pointee, and that the failure of the policy here might re-act at Frankfort and affect the contest before the legislature, where, although the republicans will have a ma- jority on joint ballot, the situation will be such as to admit of some sharp fighting, and where Mr. Blackburn will be on hand to direct the democratic forces. Mr. Black- burn hopes to be able to defeat election again, and by thus sending the matter over until next winter, when a new legislature, to be chosen next fall, will convene, brighten his own prospects to succeed him- self. He believes, as his friends do, that the next legislature will have a democratic majority, and that it will obey the behests of the silver wing of the party. It is most essential, therefore, from the republican point of view, that the republi- cans of Kentucky shail utilize to the full the majority they possess In the present legislature. National partisan policy clear- ly demands that all personal wrangling should be subordirated to the general wel- fare of the party. —— - 0 A Typical London der. The Pall Mall Gazette, which of course speaks for the single gold standard in- terests of Great Britain, declares that Senator Wolcott's mission abroad, has failed, and it advances several reasons in support of the statement. As one story iz good until another is told, an examina- tion of these reasons is not without Its in- terest. The Gazette says that every “effort to discover the faintest indication that his visit to Europe was even unofficially sanc- tioned has failed.” Mr. Wolcott has said himself, and it has several times been Tepeated for him by those competent to speak, that he is not in any sense the rep- resentative of the new administration in this business. His trip was on his own motion, and, a3 he is a man of a high sense of propriety and honor, it is safe to assume that he has not attempted to com- mit Mr. McKinley at any point. The Eu- ropean effort that has failed to discover this fact must have been an unusually stupid one. The Gazette then says that ‘Senator Wolcott came as a private advocate of a cause discredited by a majority of his fel- low-countrymen.” While this is a ludi- crous mistake, it Is to be pardoned on the general score of English ignorance about American politics. The cause of interna- ticnal bimetallism was not only not “d credited by a majority of” Mr. Walcott's “fellow-countrymen,” but was distinctly indorsed at the polls in November by a tremendous popular majority. The St. Louis platform pledged the republican psrty to promote the very object which Mr. Wolcott in @ purely private capacity has had in view on his travels. Belleving, as he had every right to believe, that his party having carried the day would keep faith with the people, he went abroad of his own accord to ascertain what the chances of success would be when nis party tn good time should undertake to redeem that plank in its platform prom- ising to promote bimetallism by interna- Uonal agreement. No man ever had more thorough warrant for his activity than Mr. Wolcott has had in what he has been trying to do. Armed with its misinformation, the Ga- xette feels justified in asserting that under such circumstances to expect that Mr. | Wolcott “would receive official support frem the foreign opponents of such a cause required a degree of child-like simplicity rare anywhere, and which no one would expect to find in Colorado.” Mr. Wolcott has asked for no official support at all. He has merely been sounding sentiment, with the view of forming an opinion as to what the chances of international bimetallism might be if again submitted to an interna- tional conference. He has asked nobody in authority to say him yea or nay on the subject. He had no right to ask such a thing. But Mr. Wolcott will return next week, and the country will not have long to wait to hear his own account of what, in his “childish simplicity,” he has been able to collect in England and on the continent respecting the possibility of bimetallism by international agreement. —~+o—____ A glance at the list of names mentioned in connection with the President-elect's cabiret mskes it more evident than ever that no man’s chances to serve his country are to be in any way prejudiced by the fact that his name begins with “Mc. ———~++e—___ There was an old-time burst of energy at the post-office building today, sixty men being employed. —__~++_____. SHOOTING STARS, A Mistake. “Don’t let this occur again,” said the pho- tographer who prides himself on being en- terprising. “What do you mean?” asked the assist- ant. “You've made the portrait more promi- nent than my signature.” A Harmiese Performance. Though some were sadly shocked, with conscience free, I sat and hugged myself in safety bland; A hat in front was large; I could not see.

In case they happen to be the children of prominent parents, it prevents their being afflicted by the poetry written about them.” His Conversational Effort. “He did not know much about pictures, and when she spoke of a girl friend’s achievements with the brush, he was a lit- tle at sea. He said “yes” and “no” with reasonable accuracy, until she happened to say: “What I am especially disposed to praise is her coloring.” “Her coloring!” he cchoed with alacrity. “I's superb! You know, I always did ad- mire blondes.” AH When the Fourth of March has vanished And but memories remain Of the day when cares were banished By the music's vast refrain, It will come again, the season When the bird-song lightly flows; When we're glad, nor ask the reasony When the four-leaf clover grows, ‘Tis a gentle superstition Biddirg all men be of cheer, Though we scoff at the tradition, Somehow, still, it lingers dear, And we wait, and cease repining, For the days of buried snows, When 2 faithful sun is shining When the four-leaf clover grows. ering. .
