It 1s to the ultimate interest of every citizen, and especially every prop- erty owner, in the District that all efforts should be directed to secure the passage of the proposed legislation. The proposi- tion to bond the District, with the United States sharing the burden equally, in order to carry out the wise and comprehensive plans of the sanitary engineers, appeals to the business sense of every person who thoroughly understands it. The District is now being permitted by Congress to go ahead slowly with certain trunk sewer corstructions. The work is be- ing done in accordance with the plans of the tommission that surveyed the subject sev- eral years ago, and to that extent it is available for use In the general scheme of Sewage collection and disposal when the entire project shall have been completed. But the disposal system can not be of value to the community until it is entirely finish- ed. The project is to collect all the sew- age of the city into a series of gradually converging trunk sewers, and finally to dispose of it by river-emptying at a point about three miles down stream. ‘Thus it is to be seen that until all these trunk lines are completed and the down- river conduit is connected and in operation there will be no material benefit to the city from the piece-meal work that is now be- ing done. It is estimated that this work will occupy many years at the present rate of progress, some authorities believing that it will not be done until 1928, while others ‘io not anticipate a conclusion before 1940. It is further stated that the general sew- age disposal plan, if carried into effect at once, would provide adequately for the city’s needs for about haif a century, so that in the light of these estimates it ap- pears reasonably certain that the piece-meal plan of construction will bring final re- sults just before the city will need an en- tirely new outfit—that is to say, unless the work is attacked as a whole at once the city will receive but a minimum of benefit from the improvement costing many mil- lions. This is the main reason why a bond is- sue is desirable. By only such a means 1s it possible for the District to secure the large sum necessary for the work. The recotds are filled with cases that demon- strate that piece-meal work is costly and that undesirable to engage in any comprehensive scheme without seeing the way clear to 4 finish. Mechanical and en- gineering reasons urgently present the selves to argue against any more sma appropriations in the siead of a single financial operation that shall enable the community to go ahead practically and eco- nomically to build its sewers and to ob- tain immediate benefit from them. Of course this project for the sewage ystem does not contemplate the nections that will be neces- it is disp m sal or ine sary to place the plant in full working or- der. All ary secondary pipes and Bouse connections should be provided as @sst as they are required, so that when the @st of the trunk sewers is completed the entire system can be utilized and there will no longer be the slightest excuse for the existence of a single sewerless house in the pital city. Only by such means can the District's health be preserved. Only thus n the reproach of a high death rate from typhoid fever be removed. The sewer bond bill is a measure directed at the preserva- tion of the public health and no substitute that does not aim at its full requirements and purposes will serve the same good end. —~> ¢ = _____ Surprise is expressed because a New York man, who, because of a surgical operation, is without his proper share of brains, still lives. As a matter of fact a man is lucky not to be born so. No Time Extension Just Yet. ‘Chere should be no practical objection to the bill introduced yesterday by S ator McMillan amending the charter of the Eck- ington and Soldiers’ Home Railway Ce pany, in the form in which he presented it. he changes that are ed to have been nade by him before he started it on its legislative journey are point of ensuring a prompt y performance public properties, of this re ad's duties to The consolidation of the three the Eckington, Beit and Colum- . is a mere matter of form, inasmuch > pr: ‘ail one today, the majority of the ing held im each by the same interes would highly desirable for th roads to be brought together as a le; y¥, in order to facilitate administration and to enable Congress and the Commis- sioners to deal with the corporation mére directly. But the time extension asked by the company by means of the bill in jts original form is altogether unreasonable from the present point of view. Under the existing statute the time for the rapid transit equipment of the city lines expires June @ next That leaves a littie more thar five and a haif months for active work. In view of what has been accom- plished by the Capi Traction Company in its meeting of « great emergency this remaining period is certainly sufficient for at least a substantial beginning of the Froject of electrical equipment. The va- rious lines of the Eckinzion and Belt roads traverse streets that are not niuch fre- quented by the ordinary traffic of the city. ‘rhey are not thoroughfares in the sense in which those streets used by the lines of the Capital Traction and the Metropolitan com- panies are thoroughfares. Therefore the work of equipment could progress with a , less degree of hindrance from the traffic of , the streets than was suffered by the latter Sy the roads named and is being encoun- tered by the former at the present time. ‘The same degree of energy that is now be- ing displayed at various points in the city en a similar enterprise would soon make a material showing of good faith on the part of the new corporation, which, it is to be remembered, has as yet done absolutely nothing locally to demonstrate that the af- fairs of these two city lines are in other bands than those formerly in control. ‘There is little doubt but that Congress will remain in session at least throughout the te Spring, and it is quite within reasonable anticipation that it will be at work in Jine. If, therefore, the new owners of these prop- erties shouid go ahead diligently at once to’ equip their city lines with the underground clectric system, making reasonable prog- ress throughout the remainder of the time granted them by existing law, and should then find that the physical conditions of the case prevented completion by June 30, there would be little or no disposition to protest against a sufficient extension of tme and there would be ample opportunity to secure it as its necessity developed. But meanwhile there must be works to show the good faith that has been so conspicu- cusly absent from all the operations of-the furmer owners of the majority interest of these roads. The provision inserted in the ‘A by Senator McMillan that the compa- nies shall give a bond for the satisfactory Ferformance of their work and shall pay all taxes ard special assessments, as a con- dition precedent to the enjoyment of any of the benefits conferred by the legislation, is eminently wise and proper. In its pres- ent shape the bill ought to be passed at an ty, and meanwhile there is nothing to prevent the new companies from pro- ceeding actively with the equipment of the Toads False Economy. When the Belt road was placed upon a reduced schedule in order to enable the receipts to equal the expenses, according to te project of the receiver, The Star took occasion to remark upon the reversal of the common-sense rule of business that this case exemplified. It was shown that the way to make the income equal if not to exceed the expenses was to increase the schedule, better the service, improve the equipment, and so invite patronage. The latest development in the case carries out the illustration to a logical though not al- together expected degree. Yesterday the receiver of the property, through his attor- ney, represented to the court that under the reduced schedule the Belt road was still losing money, the receipts falling be- low the expenses at the rate of fully $500 a month. No other result could well have been expected, although the discrepancy is heavier than might have been an- ticipated in view of the tolerance which the patrons of this line have already shown toward the poor service. The ith street branch of the road is now operated with two bob-tail cars, running, approx- imately, forty-five minutes apart. It is absurd to expect that any patronage can be attracted by such a scheme of head- way. What few passengers are carried are virtually windfalls, for no person in pos- session of reasoning powers will deliber- ately wait for a car on such a line, with the knowledge that the wait may cover three-quarters of an hour. On the lth street line the schedule has been frequently changed since the court first authorized a “reduction of expenses,” the cars growing jess frequent, until the average time be- tween them is now about ten minutes. Four different shcedules were promulgated within the first five days of the new order The less reliance the people feel tem, the more likely they become seek other means of transportation. The habit e acquired is hard to change. This experience should teach a lasting les- son to all parsimonious street railway managers, —__ += —_____ Section Fifteen Must Be Destroyed. Yesterday's verdict in the case of the ion of 19th street under the highway s attention in a pointed manner to the fact that this obnoxious law. injurious in vital points to the public interests, is upon the statute books and has been pro- nounced constitutional in ail respects by the Supreme Court, and that the obstacle to its enforcement furnished by the findings of two juries that its benefit provisions are impracticable is not to be relied upon. The fifteenth section of the highway act must be promptly repealed. The District's wel- fare absolutely demands this action. Neither the desire to preserve any other portion of the highway act nor the desire to destroy any other provision of that act should be permitted to prevent or render dubious the Sflccess of the movement to ¢liminate the disastrous financial provision of that legislation. If those who wish to cut down expense under the highway act and to save the law of 1 expense fail to get togethe minor differences, to puli in the same di- obstruction tactics in behalf of the present law threaten to prevail, and the city, oppressed by the highway act, will continue to be choked more and more by this Old-Man-of-the-Sea, now mounted on its shoulders. The Commissioners and the Board of Trade are attacking the gravest evils of the situation. Let us all co-oper- ate with them in respect to these vital points, and postpone differences of opinion upon other branches of this broad question to a more fitting season. ——_seo—__—_— If the Asiatic Chinese had any sort of diplomatic talent they would take ad- vantage of their peculiarities of language to spring surprises in their treaties, as their Americanized brethren do In laundry bills. in meeting this , and, sinking ion, ed General Weyler is a great talkei has not yet attained Luetgert's a: of being approached with cffe: phonograph company. but he netion from a ———_ ++ Corbett, in his ambition to reach the John L.

A Madrid special says the public prosecu- tor has decided that there is no ground for prosecuting G 1 Weyler. That is fair. Why should General Weyler be prosecuied tor mis intemperate references to President McKinley and to this country? Why should he not have the right of reply to his crit- ics? He has been assailed in all sincerity and with all severity by Americans, in ofiice and out of office. It was American influence which forced him back home. He Is ;smarting under what he considers Anierican injustice. Why muzzle a man so¢ircumstanced and so unhappy? Why hold a bloody old soldier, temporarily de- pesed from command, to the code of ac- ¢OUntability imposed by the ministry on civil servants during the development of delicate diplomatic maneuvers? The truth is, General Weyler speaks the real Spanish sentiment respecting the United States. He represents the real Spanish feeling toward Cuba. He believes in force, and in force alone, in dealing with the insurgents, and, in fact, with all the Cutans. Autonomy, in his eyes, is not only chiid’s play, but cringing hypocrisy. It is not, as he believes, a concession to Cuba, but a concession to the United States. It is a manifestation of cowardice. It is un- worthy of Spain. He cannot—as probably he would like—abuse Senor Sagasta; so, charged as he is with rage, and resent- ment, and humiliation, he relieves himself by abusing President McKinley and the people of the United States. ‘The dignity of this proceeding is open to question. But what does General Weyler care for dignity in referring to a nation of shopkeepers, incapable of observing treaty obligations? Why mince words in de- nouncing people whose real object is to push Spain to an extreme and then gobble up Cuba? Why not beard the rascally Yankees behind their trading counters, and have it out with them in vigorous Spanish fashion? That Spanish prosecutor has done the right thing. Let General Weyler wag a free tongue. His words count for nothing over here. Besides, {t would be such a travesty of justice fer sucha man: to be punished merely for intemperate talk. He, who has deserved death a thousand times in a thousand forms for his systematic and long-continued flendishness, to be court- martialed or formally cautioned for mere beat of utterance! < Ee —— Mr. Grosvenor is no longer satistied with telling what is going to happen.

While there is absolutely no party in the United States which desires to see this country engage in the scramble for terr tory now going on between Europcan po ers on the Chinese coast, we should be blind to our own Interests did we comprehend the importance of se a commanding position for our commercial and naval marine in the Pacific, such as is voluntarily offered us in the acquisition of an Islands. This step involves or arrogant invasion of the rights of property or independence of any people, class or government. If it comes at all, unlike the fot le seizures of ter- ritory now going on in China, it will be the voluntary act of two independent republi- can governments for the common good of all. The present juncture is most favorable for affirmative action on this question. There is no power in either Europe or America which has a right or would be in- clined to regard it 1s hostile to any interest it may have. immediately or prospectively, in the Hawaiian Islands. Japan, the only power which has shown a disposition to occupy such an attitude, has already with- drawn its objections, and, in view of the events occurring nearer home, is more like- ly to regard it with favor than otherwise. Under these circumstances there is no excuse for further delay by the Senate in acting on this question. Let it be taken up and acted upon finally and affirmatively on the reassembling of Congress after th holida and one of the most conspicuous blunders of the Cleveland administration will be compensated for. A failure to do this will leave a heavy responsibility upon the present Congress :ind prove a constant- ly increasing cause for regret to the Ameri- can people. —___ 0s —_____ Sign of Prosperity. From the St. Louls Globe-Democrat. The crossing of the $160,000,000 line by the gold reserve in its upward movement, which is the highest point touched since September, 1890, is a financial event of great importance. Ever since the over- throw of Bryan, nearly fourteen months ago, there has been a steady increase in the treasury gold, except during the two or three months in the latter part of the spring and the early part of the summer when gold exportation was under way. Financial confidence has been completely restored. All that is needed now to make the treasury situation fdeally good in an abundant revenue, and the constant gain in governmental income ever since July shows that condition cannot be far off. —_—_—_ e+ ___ Hawaii the Boundary. From the New York Press. The cold-blooded determination of the powers to take from China and other na- tions what they are too feeble to hold should be a convincing and final reason why Hawaii should come into the posses- sion of the United States. For if Hawaii does not come to us, as it desires, it will go to some other nation by appropriation. ‘We must stop the invasion of the greedy powers the other side of the Sandwich Is- lands. We need Hawaii to mark the Pacific boundaries of the. powers which have begun to allot the plunder which has tempted them beyond resistance. ———_-> ___ No Lump Pensions. Frem the Boston Journal.
