THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. WEDNESDAY August 18, 1897. . Editor. CROSBY S$. THE EVENING STAR has a regalar nd pe ment Family Circulation much more than the combined cir- jon of the other Washington As a News d Advertising competitor. in ilie: Medium it has order to avoid delays, on ac- t of personal absence, letters to Al al t be addressed y jected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. ze. Lord Kelvin, the eminent electrician and scientist, better known throughout the world of science as William Thompson, gave recently to his New York interview- ers some interesting details concerning the garbage reduction works at Shoreditch, which statements were reprinted in yes- terday’s Star. The partial.adoption by Washingten of the reduction system after testing both the dumping and the cremat- ing methods, starts the municipality upon the gight path, and causes citizens to take a lively interest in every new use of the reduced garbage that experience develops. Under the dumping system the city’s refuse is transported unchanged to a point more or less removed from close settle- ment and deposited in the water or on farms. It contaminates the water or the air or both, and when the city at heavy expense rids itself. entirely of the garbage by sending it so far away that neither tides nor breezes can bring it back, the net result of the achievement is merely the selfish imposition cf this nuisance upon somebody else. Under the cremation sys- tem the garbage is destroyed, and since the process is expensive and no useful products are derived to meet any portion of this expense, the community cannot seneraliy afford to pay much in addition on account of transportation, and the cre- matory is consequently located as a rule at some convenient point within the thickly settled area. Under both of these sys- tems a contractor is usually paid a fixed price for either the removal or the destruc- tion of all the garbage, and it is to his pecuniary interest to remove or destroy the least amount possible. Imperfect col- lections of the garbage and unsanitary conditions inevitably result. Under the reduction system the garbage is chemically treated, destroyed as garbage, but utilized fm the products of the reduction process, and the garbage becomes a source of rev- enue instead of heavy outlay. Since the larger the amount of garbage handled the greater the products and the profits, the garbage collections are thorough and the city’s health benefits. The profits of re- duction also render it possible to go to the expense of removing the garbage for treat- ment to some remcte point, where the re- duction plan: will not constitute «a nuis- ance. Every increase in the uses to which the products of reduction may be put Strengthens the argument in favor of this proces: In many places fertilizers and valuable chemical products are derived from the garbage; at Shoreditch it is con- verted into fuel, and heat, light and power are extracted from the city's refuse, and furnished to the municipality. The slag left in the furnaces is suitable for street paving. Shoreditch instead of maintain- ing its garbage as a nuisance and is eut the taxpayers’ money merely for a change in the location of this nuisance, now makes its garbage and street sweepirgs supply it with electric lights and pave the streets. Washington may profit by the example. + oe —__ The Peril of Factio.: The republicans in beth Maryland and Kentucky are at present indulging in some Vigorous facti(nal warfare. It was prob- ably to be expected. The national triumpn of any party usually begets that sort of thing, and in these two states particularly, Where the republican leaders have this year for the first time found themselves invested with full responsibility in the mat- ter of patronage, local and federal, liberal allowance is to be made for differences that have arisen. But those differences ought not to be permitted to go too far. In fact, they ought to be composed at as early a day as possible. The republicans owe it te themselves and to the sound money cause to get out their full vote again, for in that event their chances will be good for regis- tering another triumph. In Kentucky the gold democrats have put a ticket in the field and are preparing to make a thorough campaign. They claim to have assurances of polling a large vote. This of course will be so much deducted from what has heretofore been the demo- eratic strength in the state. The silver democrats will sustain a second loss in the populist vote, which, this year, declines fusion. So that if the republicans make a canvass with the proper snap and energy and appear at the polls united, they ought te carry the day. In Maryland there is the encouragement of a complete failure of Mr. Gorman’s pre- liminary maneuvering. The sound money democrats have not been caught by his advances. They smile both at his straddle of a platform and at the report of his withdrawal from the senatorial race. They do not take the slightest stock in either. They are still the advocates of sound mon- ey, they still put that issue ahead of all others, and still consider it their duty to assist in the achievement of sound money Successes. The defection of these men from the democratic cause gave the state to the republicans and sound money last year. Is not a similar result within reach this year? The republicars were united last year, and of course must again be if last year's history is to be repeated. The campaigns of most interest this year are those in Ohio, lowa, Maryland and Ken- tucky. If those four states repeat their sound money triumphs of last year the gain for good times and increased confi- dence will be incalculable. If the silverites prevail there, the effect ‘will necessarily be Most discouraging even in the face of abundant crops and rising prices. No fighting over offices or local leadership eught to be permitted to imperil or even temporarily injure so great a cause as the national credit. ————-— + +e—____ The emotional display of bulletins after a mere scratch of Prince Henri’s skin wakes it appalling to think of the hyster- feal solicitude which would be aroused if he were to get a business-like shock over the solar plexus. soe Mr. Croker will not lead Tammany. He will merely tell the leader how he wants it Yea. 0 —_____ A Dry Dock at Washingto: In addition to the concern which they feel as citizens of the republic in the efforts now being made by the naval authorities to secure better docking facilities for the nation’s warships, the people of Washing- ten undoubtedly entertain a lingering hope that {if these efforts are successful one of the new docks will be built at the navy yard in this city. The first and most im- portant local effort of such a choice of site would be the reclamation of a Portion at least of the Anacostia flats, at presenta reekinig menace to the health of many thousands. The navai gun foundry at the ola yard is now almost inaccessible from the sea, owing to the negligence on the part of Congress {n dealing with the seri- ous problem which the Eastern Branch ~ has presented for years. This great estab- Ushment, which should he easy of access great difficulty worked to her dock under favoring conditions, and the day is near when the foundry will be utterly cut off from the proving grounds and from the fleets that must occasionally assemble on the coast. That the capital of the nation, located on the Potomac largely because ‘of its safe distance from and yet easy access to the high seas, should be thus cut off from communication with the naval force was a contingency that probably never occurred to the statesmen who made the selection of a site as even the most remote Possibility. That it should be thus isolated is not to be permitted The dry dock that should form a sup-' plement to the gun foundry and the nucleus of a new navy yard here is sadly needed by the naval establishment. That our ships must be sent for docking to the British government dry dock at Halifax is a shame to the American nation. The naval au- thorities themselves realize the situation, and the record is filled with their appeals to Congress for appropriations for dry- docks to keep pace with the growing squad- rens. A board of officers has just held a conference preliminary to the preparation of a project for submission to Congress next winter setting forth the needs of the service in this line. The survey of the sit- uation will be incomplete unless the ad- vantages of Washington as a site for a dock are thoroughly investigated and ex- Ploited. A dock of the desired size could readily be built in Washington, where it would be convenient of access as regards distance from the sea and yet sufficiently sheltered from an enemy to be secure. The latter fact can not be maintained as to the docks at New York and Norfolk. Of course to the cost of a dock at the lccal navy yard must be added the expense of the re-creation of a proper channel to the yard. This project of itself may cost more than the dock, but it is to be recalled that of late Congress has virtually ac- cépted as settled the ultimate need of extensive improvements in this stream. The answer to all recent appeals on this subject has invariably been that the Treas- ury is at too low an ebb to warrant such an expenditure, and, while there has been no denial of the necessity of the better- ment, both from a sanitary and a military point of view, the matter has been set aside from session to session as something to be done “‘bye-and-bye.”” The naval authorities, therefore, have reason to regard this project as virtually set down for accomplishment at sonfe time, and they should not be deterred by the cost of harbor improvements from recom- mending the construction of a dry dock here. The two works need not. proceed to- gether The site for the dock can be definitely determined and the reclamation of the marshes and the channel can then be accomplished. It is the firm belief of all members of the present administration that the new tariff will soon bring in an abundant revenue and create a surplus in the Treasury. If this should come about there will no longer be any valid reason for postponing such vitally necessary Projects as the rescue of the Eastern Branch from the mud and filth and the re- establishment on its banks of a fully equip- ped navy yard, with a gun foundry and a dry dock. —_—__+ + ____ Short Shrift for Assassins. The promptness observed in the trial, conviction, and sentence of the assassin of Senor Canovas is worthy of all praise. If the wretch shall also be executed this week, as now seems probable, less than a fortnight will cover his crime and the pen- alty for it. No posings have been permit- ted to him. He has not been allowed to play to the coarse and the curious in any public place. He had evidently counted upon something of the kind, as his first surprise expressed in prison was at the fall- ure of the representatives of the press to visit him. He had probably prepared an exciting story with stirring details for dis- semination over the world, and then, for a Public trial, some theatrical entrances end exits. Instead, he has been tried in a single room, with only the court and its officers present, his rambling address has been cut short, and he will go to his death prac- tically in private. This of course is the short shrift of a court martial. But it is enough. Nothing would have been gained, no good or humane end served, by delay. It may be true, in the main, that fiends of the Golii stripe are not to be restrained; that when they resolve upon a bloody act they commit it upen opportunity without regard to future consequences to themselves. But, as a rule, they are of a posing turn. They are unquestionably spurred on by a craving for vulgar display, for the notoriety of imprisonment and a long trial, and for such depraved pleasure as a base spirit may get out of such a situation. When- ever possible, they should be defeated in this, either by courts martial or by civil courts, and their punishment be meted out to them as swiftly and in a manner devoid of show as possible. It may even come to act as a deterrent in some measure for creatures meditating such crimes to realize that, if they carry out their purpose, from that moment they are lost, and will go without hindrance or delay to their graves. The Guiteau case in this country was needlessly lengthened and displayed. There was never a moment's doubt as to tle as- sassin’s guilt. He was taken red-handed, as Golli was, and, like Golli also, he admitted his crime. But a year elapsed before the deserved noose was slipped over his head. ——- + e+ —___ A man arrested as a vagrant in New York had $33,000 with him.

The arrival in Dublin today of the Duke and Duchess of York is an interesting event, and doubtless their reception will be 8! fying enough. They are to make a little journey in tke island, and as a means of appealing to the sentiment of the people the itinerary is to follow lines touching at the spots famous in song and story. It is even intimated that this visit may prove to be the initial step of a new policy, which shall in the near future provide the English sovereign with a resi- Gence in Ireland. Scotland and Wales have jong been so honored, and the question is asked, Why not Ireland also? And, in- deed, why not? The climate is more’ de- lightful than that of either Scotland or Walés, and there are numerous sites of furpassing beauty from which the sover- eign might choose. It seems, however, to strain the whole case to suggest, as some are doing, that by such a step what is known as the Irish question might be put in process of early settlement. That is at once a belittle- ment of both the Irish question and the Irish character. The Irishman may have voted with some feeling the tact that both Scotland and Wales enjoyed a preference in the matter of a royal residence over his own country, but that would not in the slightest degree explain his long and un- ccmpromising protest against English rule. The sovereign’s slight in the matter of visits is of the smallest: consequence in comparison with what history teaches is the basis of Irish opposition to England. by the largest battle-ships of the navy, can be reached only at high tide, and then only by the smallest craft. Thetug that draws the flat-boats to and from Indian Head with their valuable cargoes is with ? Had Queen Victoria spent half of her whole sixty years of power in Ireland the unrest there would be as great as it is today if Engitsh legistation toward Ireland had been the same as it has been. The Irishman’s grievance, as he states it, has been of a far deeper nature than neglect of him personally by sovereignty. He has never complained of the queen’s absence from the island. He does not go in very much for royalty, anyhow. Using the word In its broader signification, he is a@ born democrat. The spirits who have ruled him have come from the people. Emmet, O'Connell and Parnell have exer- cised more influence over him than a thou- sand kings could possibly have done. But ff a royal residence in Ireland would give royalty a better chance of studying the people and their grievances and as- Pirations it, might be highly advisable on royalty’s account and for royalty’s benefit to establish one. The Ameer of Afghanistan may have been encouraged in his disposition to be troublesome: by observing in recent events that™ it do@s not require a very large potentate to cause a vast amount of annoy- ence among the most important govern- ments. It is a satisfaction to reflect that there is ne possibility of readjusting boundary lines so as to deflect the advantages resulting from the big wheat crop. ‘The Belgian expedition to the South Pole has at least the interest attaching to a comparatively unfamiliar route to disaster. Spain shows more promptness in dealing with Golli than she does in dealing with Weyler. SHOOTING STARS. “The Location. “Where ws the prince wounded?” asked the friend of one of the seconds in a po- litical dvel. 3 e fe “Where was he wounded?’ repeated the second, absently, as he looked up from a O66 mess of manuscript. “If I am not mis- taken, it was about the beginning of the last paragraph in the second column.” Unappreciated. Why are men for beauty toiling, ‘When what most delights the throng Is the rced bird briskly broiling; Not the bobolink in song. A Brief Criticism. “I have only one fault to find with this poem,” said the soulless editor. “And what is that?” inquired the au- thor. “It's no good.” Professional Courtesy. “If I should be obliged to go,” said the Spanish general, “I will do what I can to facilitate business for my successor.” “And you want me to give him some in- formation?” asked the officer. “Yes. Teli him there are a fountain pen and a bock of synonyms in the upper drawer of my desk.” The Resemblance. “Do you believe in heredity?” asked the professer. “I really don’t know much about it.’t “It's a very interesting subject. You can take almost any family and see how traits have been transmitted. I have no doubt, for instance, that there is some strong peint of resemblance between your brother and his father.” “Yes,” she replied, after some thought. “You must be right. There is a resem- blance.” “And may I ask in what it consists?” “They both wear glasses.” A Parallel. Nebber will fohgit de grief Dat I had las’ year.

The Spoils System is Doomed. From the Obicago Times-Herald. News from Washington conveys the sad intelligence of the demise of the “Repub- lican Association of Illinois.” The obse- quies are billed to take place on the Sth of next mcnth, although the actual interment of the remains took place some time ago. The ostensible object of the organization was the mainterance of a sort of clearing- house in federal patronage. It was also the function of tais association to pass upon the value and importance of the party service alleged to have been ren- dered by Illinois applicants for government jobs. There was a time, no doubt, when the indorsement of the “Republican As- sociation of Illinois” written across the back of an application for federal appoint- ment had a talismanic effect. But that time seems to have passed away. It is doubtless true that party. servitude and party fealty still receive consideration with the appointing powers, but the senti- ment for chil service reform has grown so rapidly and the merit system has be~ ecme so strongly intrenched in popular favor that it is no longer wise to urge mere party service as the prime qualification in an applicant for federal appointment. The dissolution of this organization is significant as one of the incidents in the decline of the spoils system. It is a recog- nition of the advanced Used by people of refinement for over a quarter of a century.
