It suffices te poiat out ore particular where it would seem to be advisable if not necessary to amend the amendment in order to pre- vent the creation of an anomaly and cer- tainly to correct an anomalous condition creaied several years ago.

By the terms of this new arrangement the sur- plus garbage that cannot be burned at the foot of South Capitol street is to be carried in covered scows down the river and there treated in some such manner as to create no nuisance and presumably to yield a profit to the contractor. All that the Dis- trict desires in this connection, as long as the present hit-and-miss system 1s in vogue, is that the garbage should be thor- oughly collected, and destroyed or reduced or treated in any manner so as to prevent it from becoming a nulsance. The com- munity has no direct interest in the ways and means of the contractor save as they May affect the public health. Were the law so framed at present, however, that the District could undertake its own work of g@arbege collection und disposal there would be a vital interest on the part of the public im the methods, as regards their economy. At the same time the experience of the Present contractor, who ought by all appro- 7 s s > super- harities would remain nom- s nt position and draw his u in addition to performing s and drawing an a:idi- ary » fair presumption be t wou n io be wise to write means est is not regulated by the volume of Cuban to be succeeded at the end of his term by the municipality itself, may servé admira- bly to teach the Commissioners some im- portant facts in connection with garbage reduction, the end to which all modern communities are now tending. It 1s not to be expected that the wasteful process of cremation will be continued for many years in any large city administered upon busi- ness-like principles. That process Is ex- travagant in two ways. It destroys ma- terial of value and it removes all inspira- tion for perfect collection. The employment of the reduction process, on the other hand. not only conserves the value of the gath- ered material, but it ensures a far more complete collection, because of that value. When each pound of garbage becomes an economic commodity the collecting agent, whether the municipality or a contractor, Is urged by business motives to be thorough in this branch of the work. Up to this time this city has repeatedly suffered severely from the disposition of the collec- tors to slight their task. The only reliance of the citizens was in the efficacy of the threat of fines and rebates on the contract price. The strength of this bulwark against tad service, however, was diminished by re- missions of fines and the record of the ex- perience with the contract system is punc- tuated with complaints on the part of the citizens. Now that a semi-reduction service is promised it may be fair to iook for some slight improvement. The summer season soon to open will put the new arrangement to a test and the operations of the garbage fleet will this season be watched with far more interest than ever before. —_<-+e—____ That Reciprocity Scheme. It is evidently Spain's settled purpose to try to accomplish something through the medium of a reciprocity arrangement with this country which shall include Cuba. The new minister she sends us is familiar with the subject of her foreign trade, and the latest unnoutcement is that he is to be joined kere by a representative of the so- called autonomist government of Cuba. Together they are to perfect and present a reciprocity scheme, and urge its adoption on the administration. The Star has more than once expressed itself on this subject. The whole matter seems plain enough. It is based upon Spain's opinion that the interest felt in this country in Cuba is entirely’ sordid and selfish, and may be dealt with on com- mercial lines. She undoubtedly believes that she has only to insure the United States some advantages of trade with her- self and Cuba to put an end to all sympa- thy existing here with the Cuban struggle for independence. Spain is entirely mistaken about this. While commercial considerations do enter into the Cuban problem, they by no means make up that problem. There is a deep and widespread sentiment throughout the avor of freedom for Cuba. in commercial circles both it is derided here and in Spain, but derision will not dis. pose of it. So long as Spanish tyranny i: exercised in Cuba and there are people brave enough to take the field to resist it, so long will American sympathy with those people continue. It cannot be silenced or be bought off by commercial conventions, however promising. This ought to be well understood in any steps taken by this government. Spain cannot be barred under the ‘Dingley law from making overtures, but the situation ought to be made very clear to her. She has nothing of real value at present to offer in the way of Cuban trade, but if she had a greater volume than has ever existed it could not be accepted upon any implied conditions of a cessation of interest here in good government for Cuba. That inter- trade, nor can any convention make it sub- ject to such regulation. Surprising as it may be to Spain, there is room for a good healthy sentiment for liberty even in “‘a nation of shopkeepers.” ——_ ee —__ The Free Library Item. Among the various propositions pending before the Senate subcommittee on District appropriations is that for the maintenance of the free public library created by act ef Congress. The item appears from two distinet sources, the Senate District com- mittee and the District Commissioners, so it has ample official standing. It is forti- fied, too, by the action of the Senate in the pest, not only in originating the act for the creation of the library, but in unani- mously voting to provide for the institu- tion in the regular manner by writing the necessary appropriation into the last local budget. The case as it now Stands gives the Senate ample precedent for adding the item to the pending bill and insisting upon its retention. The latest act of the House in this particular to vote down a di- rect proposition to place the burden of maintaining the library wholly upon the District of Columbia, so that in effect the House has also assented to the policy of providing for the library under the terms of the organic act. The Senate committee knows the his- tory of this enterprise to give the people of the Disirict access to good literature without charge, and under such conditions that practically every class of residents may utilize the facilities provided. The de- mand for the creation of the library comes from the workingmen, who have spoken through their organizations; the school children, whose needs have been voiced by the board of school trustees; the depart- ment clerks, who are practically shut off from all library facilities save in a few cases, to the insignificant extent afforded by the small departmental libraries, and the business men of Washington, who have spoken through the Board of Trade. Thus practically the entire capital is on record as desiring and petitioning for library fa- cilities. The item before the Senate sub- committee, therefore, is widely representa- tive of an urgent local need, and in the light of Its own merits and of its history it will not wisely be omitted when the bill is finally shaped in conference. ——_+ 0 + ‘The people in charge of the destinies of the young King of Spain seem bent on dis- popularizing kim to a degree that would make even a lecture tour in this country unprofitable after the failure of his other resources. —_+e+____ It Is to be feared that Mr, Gladstone's career will close at a crisis in interna- tional affairs when his counsel can ill be spared. —————++e—___ M. Zola may impress posterity as a good thing that the French Academy rather stupidly overlcoked. The New York Campaign. The New York democrats have prac; cally agreed upon a platform for this ye: camreign, and it is of interest to note t they are now in touch with the Chica, piatform upon every proposition but that of silver. They declare against trusts, against government by Injunction, and in favor of strictly guarding public franchises. The deliverance is shrewdly contrived, and doubtless represents the abilities of the ablest leaders of the party in the state. Will it win at the polls? The fight in New York will be one of the most interesting of the year. The demo- crats of the state are extremely anxious to regain their old place of importance in rational affairs, and seem to feel that if they can elect a governor now and make a creditable showing in the Congress races they will be able to command some of the old-time attention. And there can be no doubt that if success should attend them their position will be one of some advan- tage again. ART ee ee ee recognize the danger of that tople, ‘Still, sooner or later they will be obliged to meet the ‘issue. They merely add to its promt- nence by now evading it. ‘The democrati¢ Party is formally and overwhelmingly com- mitted to silver. Those who train with it im any contest, municipal, state, or na- tional, contribute in some measure to the silver cause. Mr. Bryan is the party’s leader in the presidential field and .Mr. Bailey in the field of Congress, and both make silver the test of democracy. 80, even if the New York democrats carry the day next fall on what the southern and western democrats regard as minor points of the Chicago platform, there will still be this leading point of all to be disposed of. It looks very much now as if the row between Mr. Hill and Mr. Croker might not progress beyond the limits of news- Paper speculation. Both are astute men of thorough political training, with nearly everything at stake at this time, and an open division would be fatal to both. Their differences are very likely to be adjusted. Are the republicans to be instructed by this? Are their divisions within the reach of adjustment? Will the Platt and the anti-Platt people bury the hatchet in time? : a6 4 Ex-Senator Hill has reason to know that it is the politician who drifts out of range of newspaper criticism who is really to be pitied. ———_+ + = —____ .

What if one more campaign fails? The Imparcial says it will be the fault of the soldiers if they do not win. After three and one-aalf years of compicte failure, is it not reasonable to conclude that the fault of the soldiers is incurable? If the spring campaign does not subdue the re- volt, the humane, the reasonable, the civil- ized course would be to give up the fight and take siip for home. > Mixs Willard’s Fame in England. From the London Chronicle. Probably no woman, save perhaps her colleague and friend, Lady Henry Somer- set, has been heard in this country by so many audiences. As a speaker she was admirable, interesting from beginning to end and “alive” to any interruption. She had an accent which betrayed the land of her birth, but it was not a hindrance to her appreciation by people here. A keen sense of humor and a great knowledge of poetry were additional aids to her oratory. Her portraits gave a good idea of the clear- cut face, the firm, lawyer-like lips, the bright eyes behind the gold pincenez, the determined chin and braided hair. Her many friends were always so enthusiastic about her that there was always a good deal about Miss Willard in the newspapers. But she herself desired notoriety much less than the accomplishment of good. She wanted to die working, and she has had her wish. —_+ +e ____ Archbishop Irpland’s Patriotism. From the Minneapolis Times. Archbishop Ireland 1s a follower of the Prince of Peace and as such is in duty beund to use his influence against war. His grace Is said to have been less ag- grieved at the thought of war with Eng- land a couple of years ago than with Spain today. It is claimed he made a quite bel- Ngerent address at that time. The ‘Times does not know anything about this. Arch- bishop Ireland is of course in close touch with the vatican, and as Spain is a Cath- clic country the pope would have every reason for striving to avert a conflict be- tween thls country and Spain. It is always fair to give men credit for good motives in anything they do. If Archbishop Ireland can aid his country to avoid war without sacrifice of honor, he will be her creditor. 2-0 ______ Europe and Cuba. From the Loulsville Courier-Journal. The notion that Spain would be aided by any other European power is rather far- fetched. France, to which Spain has been looking, already has chestnuts enough in the fire; so have Germany and Russia. Barring contingencies of an improbable character, the fight would be between id the United States.
