National Resi: ce to Epidemics. Occasionally there has come from the south during the present prevaience of yetiow fever a cry for the creation of a new cabinet office, a department of health with @ seeretary and ali the rest of the furnish- \ngs of such an establishment. The appeal based on the belief that under such a System as thai olfice would devise the southern might be permanently freed Irom tie annual menace of the dis- ease. Those whe thus call for a new gov- ernmental agency forget, apparently, that there is now in as effective operation as southern States will permit such a public bureau as they would expand into ont of the highest func-ions of government. Tne Marine Hospitai Service, though per- haps working under a mis-nomer, is in all Tespects titted to perform the work of main- taining quarantines and of utilizing all the best energies of state officials to the com. mon end of stamping,out the disease. If that bureau should fail in this work it is to be attributed to the lack of coherent and co-operative work on the part of the State boards of health, which should will- ingly submit their own independent au- thority to the general supervision of the government officials. In an emergency like an outbreak of a deadly fever there is no time for disputes between medical efficers, governors, sheriffs and other public ser- vVants. Jealousies are almost sure to arise if they are not prevented by wise efforts by some central authority with power and discretion to act freely. The government has assumed charge of the inter-state features of the transportation system of the country and its action has resulted in better conditions generally. It can as well and much more profitably be given charge of the inter-state features of the public health, for whenever an epidemic occurs or threatens the smallest detail of the management of the protective work in One state has a most intimate relation to the health of all residents of all neighbor- ing states. ——__+ «+ ___ According to the gas company officials, the higher the standard of illumination the less the illumination, the poorer the gas is the richer it is. ———__+ + -_ Mr. Croker has discovered that while an acquaintance with the Prince of Wales may do wonders for an actress it is no help to a politician. ——- +02 —__ ‘The Grave of Daniel Boone. Descendents and admirers in Missouri cf Daniel Boone are agitating a proposition to remove his remains from Frankfort, Kea- tucky, where they have rested for half a century, to that state. It is complained that the grave is not properly cared for;- that the monument, erected over it by Ken- tucky, has been so defaced by relic hunters that ft is now an unsightly object. The famous backwoodsman and Indian fighter died im Missouri, ard was buried there. After some years, however, the people of Kentucky requested that his ashes be removed to the capital of t state. His fame, it was urged, was indis- solubly linked with that of Kentucky, and this made it eminently appropriate that his grave should be in that soil. The remains, accordingly, were taken to Frankfort and reinterred with becoming ceremonies. John J. Crittenden delivered an address on the occasion, and it was otherwise marked by demonstrations of great respect. The same argument which prevailed to secure the transfer of the remains to Ken- tucky ought to be sufficient, one would think, to keep them there. It Is still true shat the name of Boone ts linked with that the of the blue grass state. The old Indian fighter’s fame is broad, and is “preserved in the amber” even of Byron's verse. His charecter and achievements were such as naturally appealed to a poet fond of cele~ brating conquest and conquerers, and so “General Boone, backwoodsman of Ken- tucky,” is highly lauded in the most virile verse of modern times. Boone's grave is on a commending. elevation overlooking the Kentucky river, and the monument shows only such defacement as might be feared, and would likely take place, at the hands of the curious anywhere. The relic hunter is of no particular locality, and is no re- spector of monuments. A Boone monu- ment in Missouri would suffer, as the Pcone monument in Kentucky has suffered. The four most famous names in the his- tory of Kentucky are those of Daniel Boone, backwoodsman and Indian fightet Henry Ciay, statesman and orator; ‘Jim’ Crow, the distiller, and Lexington, king of race horses in his day. Strangely enough, of the four, only the race horse was a native. Boone was born in Pennsylvania, C.ay in Virginia, and Crow in Scotland. But all three found their opportunity in Kentucky, developed their genius there, and left imperishable memories in the his- tory of the state. ——_++e—____ The Estimates. The Commissioners’ estimates, given in full in yesterday's Star, are none too high for the present needs of ,the District. The policy of economy. pursued by the houses in apportioning the available fui emong the various needs of the gov- ernment is commendable, and the District willingly bears its share of the scaling pro- cess, but it has more than once been ap- parent that the local interests suffer disproportionately when the pruning knife is applied to the estimates. It does not suffice in defense of the congressional course to point*to the steady increase in the appropriations for local purposes dur- ing the past few years, for it Is nggorious that the needs of the District have grown with its population and with the demands that are upor it for maintaining itself in a manner beccming its position as the on’s capital. The Star has heretofore led particular attention to certain spe- cial requirements for which increases are needed, and it suffices now to indicate the hope that the estimates will fare better than in the past and will approach nearer both to the evident necessities and to the ability of the government and the District to meet them. —_-ee___ Inspecting Hawaii. it is evident from ““Kamehameha’s” latest letter to The Star from Henolulu, printed today, that the American senator and rep- resentatives now touring through the Ha- waiian Islands are obtaining a clear idea of the merits of the annexation proposition by a close study at first hand of the factors bearing upon the value of Hawaii to the United States. It is to be hoped, of course, that the treaty now perding will receive the ratification of the Senate without de- lay, but if it should fail to secure prompt attention, or when considered should fail to obtain the requisite affirmative vote of two-thirds of the Senate, it will be neces- sary to resort to the method of passing a bill of annexation through the two houses, in which event the most intimate acquain- tance with Hawaii on the part of the mem- bers of the lower branch will be desirable. The notion that the annexation spirit is confined to a few of the citizens of the little republic and that the islands are still dominated by the royalist influence has now been exploded. This communication foreshadows that the congressional tourists will bring oack a favorable report, that Mil be no less convincing because of its unofficial character. ——~+o—____ Horses for Awhile Longer. The Capital Traction Company's decision not to resume the tse of the cable on its disabled lines pending their equipment with the underground electric system is, of ccurse, a disappointment to the thousands who depend upon those lines for daily transportation, but it is to ke remembered that engineering difficulties confront the cempany in thus changing its methods, and that the work of re-equipment could not be carried on as rapidly with the cable running in the conduits as with the tracks practically clear for the workmen. The ehief desire is to have the new system in eperation at the earliest possible moment, and by enduring the horse service awhile ionger the day of ultimate relief from that ancient method will be haste . The social status of a rural postmaster is a matter of deep importanee. The good people cf Hogansville cannot be altogether blamed for resenting the prospect of hay- ing to gossip with anybody regarded, justly or unjustly, as a social inferior, in order to find out what {is on one another's postal caras. ——~+++—____ The Ameer of Afghanistan has issued a proclamation prohibiting his subjects from leaving for war on the border. It is to be hoped that his actual enthusiasm over the order is greater than England's regret over the slaughter of seals. ——__~+ +s -___ Publications heretofore devoted exclu- sively to free silver, will be obliged to de- vote a column or so to the wheat market if they care to maintain their circulation among the farmers. ————_++2—____ The coming winter will probably cause a number of people who intend to start for the comparatively summerless Klondike early next spring to pause and think it over. ——__-+ + ____ It looks very much as if Mr. George's ul- timatum to Tammany before the nomina- tion of Mr. Van Wyck was built in strict accordance with the dictionary definition. —————+ +o—___ The chances are that when Luetgert gets through with his trial he will be much more discriminating as a scientist than he ever was as a sausage-maker. —_~ e+ __ The Baltimore Base Ball Club and Sena- tor Wellington are both illustrations of the fact that it does not pay ta be too auto- cratic and demonstrative. : Very Rapid Transit. Of all recent rapid transit projects seri- ously and scientifically advanced that ex- ploited in the latest issue of the Engineer- ing Magazine is the most remarkable. It aims at the construction of an electric rail- road between Philadelphia and New York that will carry passengers between those cities in thirty-six minutes. The trip now takes at least two hours. This cutting down of the time by nearly seventy-five per cent is to be accomplished, according to the plans, by means of specially de- signed cars of the air-splitting pattern— that is, with the forward end wedge shaped, to reduce the air pressure to a minimum. The power 1s to be supplied by electric taotors built solely for speed, carried on the car in sucn a way as to keep the center of gravity lower than is now the case with the ordinary railroad train. The current is to be supplied by third rails carried on slightly elevated trestles between the tracks. The main feature of the project is that a route will be adopted that will give a minimum of grades and curves, thus per- mnitting full speed at all times without un- due loss of power. To this end there will be considerable tunneling and viaduct con- struction. It is not planned to have inter- Mediate stations for stops, for through traffic is the chief end of the enterprise. ‘The value of a continuous run is best ex- be required in order to accomplish the dis- tance In 36 minutes. Aliowing six minutes and 849 miles at either terminus within which to get up and reduce speed, the rest, 68.02 miles, would have to be made in 24 minutes, or at the rate of 170.05 miles per hour (249.4 feet per second).” ‘ The proposed road is to be at all times Separated from the ordinary traffic of the country and city areas through which it passes, being constructed on embankments in places where it crosses level stretches. Thus the absence of grade crossings will permit the highest speeds without danger. The railroads now in operation might take a valuable hint from this feature of the Projected line. Automatic cut-off devices are planned to prevent rear-end collisions, by means of which a block system of ap- parent perfection is devised, causiig the disablement of the engine motor when the car approaches dangerously near another. This road may not be built, but its pros- pectus is at all events interesting. 5 It is very doubtful whether the sympa- thy for Spain among other European coun- tries could in the event of a struggle be- come strong enough to overcome their fear of one another. ——>+e—__.

SHOOTING STARS. Should See Her. “She is a very businesslike woman,” re- marked one Young man. “Yes,” replied the other; “but I admire a clinging nature.” “Then you ought to see her some time when she is trying to hold on to a dollar.” Avelding Observation. “It's a mystery to me,” said the dyspep- tic, “that so many men succeed in com- mitting murders without being discovered.” “You don’t regard it as a personal griev- ance, do you?” inquired his wife, with sarcasm. “No. But I can’t help being reminded of how the whole neighborhood got excited and knew all the details before the next day one time when I forgot it was Sunday morning and went fishin, In Doubt. “What is your favorite tune, Senator Serghum?” “I can’t tell until after election,” he re- plied. “whether it's ‘See, the Conquering Hero Comes,’ or ‘There's No Place Like Home.’ ” Little. . “Man wants but little here below.” Wherefore should mortal fret, Since that is what, ag times now B90, He's likeliest to get?

The Henry George scare is on—the real and the unreal one. As nothing is actually unhealthy in American politics which plays itself in the open, we do not regard this Henry George scare as an unhealthy symp- tom. It tempers the excesses of machin- ism, and is an outburst against them. In itseif, it ries, within its own semi-so- clalistic excesses, the antidote to its own bane, and it will eventually dissipate to a strong protest rather than grow to a con- trolling power. Both parties have been false to their duties, else there wouldn't be this scare. To a degree, all the parties are mingling some policy with their honesty, else they would not try to make the scare greater than it Is. ‘The admirable frankness of Henry George leads him to say that he will run as a single taxer, as an absolute free trader, as a man opposed to putting any duty or license fee on liquor selling at all, and as a green- backer out and out, who believes that the government should measure its currency issues only by its printing capabilities, and should base its promises not at all on its resources, but only on its declarations or intentions, sincere or otherwise. These Propositions will not be indorsed by the reople of New York, whether they elect Henry George or defeat him. Should he be defeated, his propositions would be re- buked. Should he be elected, the powers of the mayoralty, great as they are, have nothing to do and can be made to have nothing to do with a single one of his prop- ositions. In no event can they win whether he wins or loses. ——— The 01 Rests Low. ‘New York Correspondence Philadelphia Press. It is safe to report today that the re- sponsibility for the election of Henry George, which now seems very probable, is to rest upon Seth Low personally, and while he makes the technical defense that there can be no responsibility since he was nominated at the request of 160,000 citizens who signed card petitions and who have not asked him to withdraw, yet it is clear that that is a technical and evasive de- fense, not wholly worthy of a man who claims to be standing as representative of ideal aspirations and the higher political conceptions of the reputable and intelligent portion of the community. ———— +e. __ Let the “Centuries” Alone. From the New York Herald. There is a growing craze among women at present to win and wear “century” run medals. And some of them even aspire to tke double and triple century honors. Noth- ing can be worse for them than these cen- tury runs. And as for the greater distance contests, they are simply invitations to suicide—an overtaxing of physical strength that no woman can long withstand. —_~ero—___ An Unerrti From the Philadelphia Times.
