The facts re simple. Some months ago s attached to the Agricul- tural Department noted that rabies had appeared with such frequency in this vi- ci o suggest the necessity of unusual efforts to stamp out the disease. The S ary of Agriculture thereupon communt- he District Commissioners and . as it were. for diction. The law stoners, upon n: y claim, no alternative but to order the muzzling of all @ogs for six months. This was done. There was immediately a great outcry by the owners of dogs, and the Commissioners were assailed both as to the necessity of the order and the legality of the proceed- ings. The courts have upheld the latter, and the scientists have continued to insist upon the former. There seems to be no occasion to berate the Commissioners for their action in the cated w propos! the dogs w is so framed that the Com: representation, premises. They are not required to go be- hind the scientific reports made to them. The beWef in the prevalence of rabies in and about the District was based upon ex- cellent authority. There is but little ques- tion as to the fact that such a disease as rabies exists, or that it is communicable by the bite of an infected animal. The muz- ziing of dogs certainly prevents them from biting. Now here Is the rub: The muzzled dog is as a rule the well-behaved dog, carefully reared and closely watched, being of value to the owner for sentimental or sporting reasons; this dog is defenseless against an unmuzzled dog, and thus is un- able to prevent itself from being bitten should a rabid animal attack it. So that muzzling dogs does not prevent the commu- nication of the disease from the infected unmuzzled dogs running at large. But by means of the order it has been possible for the health authorities to capture and kil! a very large number of stray dogs, which, not being worth special keeping, have been allowed to run unmuzzled, and thus the chance of the spread of the disease through the “tramp” element of local ca- nine society has been steadily and greatly reduced. it would seem that any agency which leads to the elimination of two or tiee thousand worthless curs from the streets and flekls of the District would be wel- come] by the lovers of the dog, as well as by those other citizens who contrive to be happy without canine companionship. The hardships alleged to be inflicted upon the sensitive dog nature by the muzzle is prob- ably somewhat exaggerated. It is assuredly far less definitive than the agony of mind which would be suffered by the enttre com- munity if a genuine epidemic of rables were to have developed here in the absence of a preventive measure. Whatever the Senate may do in this connection, it is clear that the Commissioners have but executed the law. If the law Is too harsh for the dogs it should be amended, to relieve the author- ities from the necessity of ordering muzzles upon reliable sclentific reports. ——_ += ____ Reassuring Annoyances. Work is now in progress at many of the street railway intersections in the heart of the city, interfering somewhat with ordi- nary traffic and presenting an unsightly spectacle to the eyes of visitors. Yet this work ought to be gratifying to the resi- dents of Washington as a promise of the perfection of an enterprise in street rall- reading scarcely without parallel in th ccuntry and certain to redound to the in- finite advantage of the capital when fully completed and followed by operation. This work, ich consists of the uniting of the us branches of the lines composing the ndicate’ stem, is a type of Washing- ton's recent development into a great com- munity. It signifies that the Washington of today has expanded far beyond Its former bounds and Is still progressing toward the stage of an ideally comfortable residence e For when this serfes of switch-laying jobs is done the city will be provided with a perfectly elastic transportation system, capable of furnishing the residents of both urban and suburban sections with a maxi- mum of facility at a minimum of fare and inconvenience. The method of transferring passengers bound to or from the outlying portions of the District is cumbersome at best. Even with frequent headway conges- tion is certain to occur at the junction points. Under the old regime, with the sub- urban roads barely existing on insufficient income, and maintaining a separate organi- zation from the city trunk lines, any other plan was impracticabie, although Congress ai one time sought to compel the city lines to receive the cars of the suburban roads over their tracks. This scheme was unsatis- factory for many reasons. At all events, it failed to materialize, and there was but slight relief from the old process until the organization of the present consolidation of various lines {nto one system, which per- mitted the most intimate trackage arrange- ments. The effect of the present plan is to allow the suburban resident to ride con- Unuously to his home from the center of the city without the annoying necessity of a transfer. This opportunity is certain to develop the suburban residence feature of Washington life, already so far advanced along conservative, permanent lines. Any- thing that tends to prevent city congestion is desirable. Washington should never be permitted to overgrow itself within its own bounds. Nothing should ever be allowed to develop here suggestive in the least of the closely crowded districts of so many other cities, where vice and crime revel in propor- tion to the density of the population. Thus the ease of access to the outlying sections of the capital afforded by cheap, comfort- able street railway transportation is a di- rect item in favor of the development of the ideal community, well spread out and yet at no point beyond easy reach. In this movement both of the great transportation companies deserve the highest praise. The Capital Traction, In its extension of the h street ine to Rock creck, has estab- hed the principle which the other com- ny now promises to put into full opera- tion by means of these temporarily an- noying constructions which litter the cross- ings with iron and dirt. ———~++e—____. Possibly Mr. Bryan would like to know Whether recent events have caused Mr. J. R. McLean to take back any of the nice things he used to say in Ohio about the free silver candidate. —— + «= —___ If there are any more army scandals brewing in France, every effort will of course be made to let them simmer unosten- tatiously until after the exposition is over. —_———_+-—____ Minister Wu has made a great hit in this country by not following Li Hung Chang’s example and asking people how much they are worth and where they got ft. ———+ += —___ It is getting close to the time when Gov- ernor Roosevelt will have to make up his mind once and for all about that vice pres- idential nomination. ——__- wee General Otis has found news so scarce of late that it does not really make much dif- ference whether there is a press censor. ——_—_ + +2 -___ Memorial Bridge and Avenue Sites. It is to be hoped that the Memorial bridge project will be considered by Congress apart from any thought of the construction of an avenue of approach to the Washing- ton end. The two schemes, this now in hand and that recently proposed in con- nection with the capital centennial, of a great street cut through the Mall, are en- y separate. The former has been under ideration for several years. Its princi- ple is virtually established. The only ques- tiens remaining relate to the character of the design and the cost of the work. The Centennial avenue project is new, unstudied, unindorsed by the community and open to very serious objections. There will be Plenty of time to think about providing avenues of approach to the bridge while that structure fs under way. It will doubt- less consume several seasons in the com- pletion, and while the work is in progress the issue over the Mall driye can be venii- lated and adjusted. But meanwhile there is every reason why the capital builders should go ahead with the plan to provide land now for the erec- tion of future public buildings. A few weeks ago this matter was uppermost in the local mind and material headway seemed to have been made toward persuad- ing Congress of the advisability, from many points of view, of immediately proceeding to acquire all the land lying south of Penn- sylvania avenue as far as the Mall for this purpose. The Centennial avenue project eeemed to check the propaganda somewhat, although it received new force by the in- treduction by Chairman Mercer of the bill providing for the erection of the new mu- nicipal building upon an avenue site. It would be unfortunate if all the force of epinion already concentrated in behaif of the avenue site enterprise were to be allowed to dissipate itself between ses- sicns. It would be in line with practical achievements if Congress were to provide before adjournment for a joint commission to sit if possible during recess and study this site question thoroughly, going into the details of prices and the probable cost of a grand scheme of public construction calculated to provide for the needs of the government for virtually all time to come. Such a commission, clothed with power to report and inspired with a desire io achieve something tangible, could doubtless secure legislation next winter. What seems to be needed just now is a definite initiative. The Memorial bridge plans may perhaps call attention to the matter of beautifying the capital sufficiently to supply this initia- tive at once. ——___+-—____ Admiral Dewey has about reached the conclusion that the interview is something that should be given to the public in mild, infrequent doses. ———__+ + = —___ It is feared that naval hero Hobson is too effectually buried to permit him to come forward with a presidential boom. ——_+ e+ -— Mr. Webster Davis has chosen to com- pletely sacrifice his reputation as a man of silence and mystery. —__+ ++ ___ SHOOTING STARS. The Chief Product. “What is the principal thing raised in Porto Rico?” asked the student. Senator Sorghum studizd a moment and then answered: “Taxes.” Another Hero. He is a hero in a way, Though history ne'er declares tt. When Easter bills come ‘round some day He makes no plaint that he must pay, But simply grins and bears it. A Change of Scene. “Why is that Filipino running in that precipitat> fashion?” asked the tourist. “Oh,” answered the native, gravely, “he's merely traveling for his health.” One Point of Agreement. “It is very generous for the British ana the Boers to compliment each other so nestly on their valor,” said the stranger. (es, answered the native; “their opin- fon of each other's valor seems to be the only thing those people can agree on.” Excitement. “You have lived in the far west?” said the young woman with an air of eager interest. “Yes, miss," answered Broncho Bob. “And have witnessed lynchings and stam- of catde and all such things?” what was the most exciting episode of your life. He thought with great care and then an- swered earnestly: “Gettin’ off one of these here ‘lectric cars the wrong way, miss.” A Dangerous Experiment. I know a man who has no friend In all this teeming earth; His days in solitude he'll end Afar from sounds of mirth. The truth somehow went to his head; By trouble he is caught. He frankly went ahead and said What everybody thought. Some people said, “Of course it's true And that’s what makes it worse; We'll have to quit him. He is due To feel the social curse Which o'er the over-bold is spread.” His life with woe fs fraught And all because he frankly sald What everybody thought. The Open Door. From the London Times, The government and people of the United States are to be congratulated upon the successful achievement of a considerable service to the world. The diplomatic cor- respondence between Mr. Hay andthe powers interested in the future of China published yesterday at Washington shows that Mr. McKinley's Secretary of State has obtained a general assent from all the na- tions concerned to the policy of “the open door."* The credit of having formulated that broad and just principle of international dealing in the celestial empire belongs to this country. But the honor of winning for it the formal acceptance of Germany. France, Russia, Japan and Italy has fallen to our Kinsmen across the Atlantic. No- where out of the United States will this signal success of American diplomacy be welcomed so gladly as in this country. The advantages it confers upon the commerce of the world are common to all states and to all peoples, but they must prove of spe- cial benefit to the nation which ts still the chief trading power in the far east. The policy of the open door has prevailed in these agreements because it Is fair and equitable on its face. It gives equal rights to all everywhere and leaves the subjects of each nationality to win or lose in the struggle for the greatest markets of the future according to their deserts. That is all that we desire in China or In any other foreign field. We hope that in a fair field « shall by due exertions hold our own. If upon equal terms our new and vigorous competitors «an defeat us we shall recog- nize we have nobody to blame but our- selves. The United States, which are certain to be amongst our most formidable rivals for the trade of the far east, were the first to appreciate the justice and the reasonable- ness of the policy we professed. They adopted it themselves, and now after six months of negotiations they have Induced the powers to adopt it too. Henceforth the foreign trade and commerce of China are to be open to all nationalities upon equal conditions, if the terms of the agreements with the United States are fully and faith- fully observed. Mr. Hay has done much to make straight the paths of commerce in a region where they were threatening to become tortuous under the pressure of all kinds of illicit po- litical influences. He has contributed in no small degree to weaken the grounds of serious international complications preg- nant with danger to the peace of the world; and he has opened up to China a fresh pros- pect of economic development without an increase of the perils that menace her po- litical existence. ——_~ ++ —___ Insanity in the Philppines. From the Syracuse Post-Standard. Secretary Root has given figures which ought to end the yellow excitement over the Insanity in the Philippine army. The plain truth is that the percentage of insanity cases in the Philippine army during the past year as compared with the number of similar cases in the regular army for ten years ending July, 1898, is as 81.3 to 33.1, + =____ Poor Kwang Hsu. From the Albany Journal. Kwang Hsu, the Chinese emperor, who, as newspaper readers will remember, was successively dethroned and assassinated and thereafter committed suicide, is now reported to be dying of a slow poison. The many troubles of Li Hung Chang are evi- dently as nothing to those of the emperor. It seems that the higher a man’s station in life is in China, the more difficult it is for him to keep body and soul together. —_—__+ e=+_____ Sach a Pity. From the St. Louis Star. ‘The name of no individual who has not been dead ten years, and who was not born in territory belonging to the United States, is eligible for inscription in the Tem- pie of Fame, New York. What a pity. This will exclude the names of that great patriot, Edward Atkinson, and his bosom friend, George Washington Aguinaldo. ————__ += —_____ The People Want More Than Beauty. From the Springfield Union. The Lackawanna railroad announces that it now has the handsomest ticket office in New York city. Marble of the finest quallty shows itself everywhere. The company thinks before long other railroads wil! fol- jJow {ts example. Marble ticket offices may be all right in their way, but what the peo- ple want first Is lower railroad rates and safe service, 2 “A fit-for every foot.” 5 The Small Cost of ‘Wear Wells’ —Puts them on the popular plane for footwear.
