The Injunefion-The Future.

Without presumng to eriticise the judicial
decision reached with such suggestive prompt
ness yesterday in the famous injunction case.
we think the spirit which 80 bitterly and cause
lessly assailed the Board of Public Works and
secured that misehievous result win be deplOred
by the popular voice, not of Washington city
alone, but of the country at large.
That the movement had its origin in political
feeling no sane person can doubt, and no honest
person can deny. Whether tins state OF things
could or could not have been avoided by a more
liberal course at the outset on the part of those
having the direction Of affairs, il Is needless now
To discuss. The result Is the same. The fight
has been made, and the eagles Of victory hover
for awhile over the standards Of those who resist
progress, just as though their movement had its
foundation in the purest of motives, and had
been pushed forward solely in the interest of the
public good.
OF course the case cannot rest here. What
course the Board will pursue now we are not
advised. But the work of improvement must 90
on, by some authority, and under some regula-
ton which viii accomplish the end in view and
at the same time keep within the letter and in
tent ofthe law. The spirit which opposes this is
the bsleful genius OF laborers without work,-of
grass-grown streets,-of vacant houses,-of de-
Ginning population, of stagnatiOn, decay, death
fthere is any prosperity in store for Washing
tOn,-if there Is any future at all for her-if she
is TO remain the capital of the country,-that
destiny lies through a wisely chosen and vigor-
ously prosecuted system Of Improvements, which
looks not only to a better sanitary condition, an
increased supply of water, a comprehensive plan
of sewerage, and properly paved and lighted
streets but also to a wen devised system of adorn
ment, 50 that the city shall be made not only
habitable but attractive, and become what
nature and the fathers of the republic alike in
tended it to be-the worthy capital Of a great
people.
Asvas wen said by Mr.. Cook, YESTERDAY, In
response to miseoncepton on the part of the
judge as to the spirit in which the Board win
undertake to carry out their much needed work,
improvements must go on; By the taxpayers,
through the taxpayers, or 0rer the taxpayers, IL
necessary" This Is the true ground. Those
who favor it are the friends of Washington; those
Who oppose 1t are the enemies, not of Washing.
ton alone, but Of the country at large and the
spirit Of the age, and they must be swept away.

The Work tn Go On.

AS there is considerable interest manifested 10
know what course the Board of Public Works
intend TO pursue in consequence of the injunc-
ton granted yesterday, we may say that we
understand il to be their hope to obtain the pas
sage of an act by the territorial legislature, at
an early day, authorizing them to anticipate the
collection Of the revenues in the sum of $500, 900.
with which necessary works can be pushed for
ward pending litigation. 1t Is also understood
TO be their purpose TO appeal the present case 20
the court of last resort, IN order that their
powers and obligations in the premises NAV be
properly determined, and, further, to take
measures to submit the questions involvedin the
present loan bin to a popular vote of the people
OF the District.
These steps are all proper and commendable
in Themselves, and We have no doubt that the
course Of the Board viii in the end be approved.
not only by the highest judicial authorities, but
by the popular Judgment Washington l.
bound to be improved. That much is settled.
The manner and means viii be provided in due
time.

Governor Cooke deserves the thanks of the
entire community for his order, published In
yesterdays STAR, in which he directs that stems
be taken at once to clean the streets OF the CITY
and use disinfectants literally wherever they are
necessary. It il a beneficial sanitary measure,
whether We have reason to fear the approach of
Asiatie cholera or not. The London Times In
view Of the fact that the cholera has crossedoyer
into Germany from Russia, aud may probably
visit that country, has an article urging the
health authorities to prepare against it. The
peculiar features of the disease are so well known
that il can be checked by vigilant inspection of
the drainage system and the water supply, by
which, it is believed, the germs are distributed.
The scourge may reach America within a few
months, and it would be well for the city au
thorities throughout our country to initiate Gov.
Cookies example, by taking ali necessary pre-
cautions in the way OF cleansing and purifying
the streets that in case the disease does visit
US we will have done all in our power to
lessen its horrors Science has done much to
master the scourge, and cleanliness can do much
more. Private citizens can also do a great deal
70 lessen the fatal consequences of the epidemic
Wherever garbage and filth are allowed to accu-
nulate, there viii the disease be most fatal.

AS rule We are in favor not only of a reduc-
ton in the number of public officers, but also Of
paying the very lowest salaries compatible with
the character and extent of duties TO be per-
formed But, in the public as in private service,
there IS neither justice nor true economy in los
ing sight Of this very proper guide in fixing a
rate Of compensation. The pay should always
lear corresponding relation to the labors and
responsibilities Of the place. In this view Of the
caSe, we think the house Of delegates did wisely
On Thursday in refusing to concur in the action
OF the council looking to the reduction Of the
salary Of the tax collector from IS Ooe to % 5oa
Tie office is one OF the most II not TIE most i'm

Summer Drinks.

The Herald of Health says: The first,
the best, because the safest for laborers,
lnvalids, the ~sedentary, for all classes,
at all times of the day and night, is
half a glass at a time, repeated in ten
minutes if desired, of common cold
water, at the temperature of the
spring, or well, or reservoir, or cistern.
Ice water is more palatable, but often
kills.
Any drink which contains alcohol,
even cider, root beer, or domestic COR
dials, all, are not only harmless, but
are positively injurious, because the
of the next minute for the present,
leaves the system that next minute
just that much weaker than it would
have been had not that atom of alcohol
been taken. This is the case because
hat atom of alcohol has not one par
ticle of nutriment, hence cannot sup
ply the system with one atom of
strength.
If anything is added to the summer
drink, it should contain some nutri-
ment so as to strengthen the body as
well as to dilute the blood for the pur-
poses of a more easy flow through the
system, as any one knows hat the thin.
ner a fluid is the more easily does ii
flow. Some of the nutricious and safe
drinks are given below, especially fol
those who work in the sun of summer,
all to be taken at the natural temperar
ture of the shadiest spots in the local..
ty. To any of them ice may be added
but it is a luxurious, not a beneficial in
gredient, nor a safe one.
1. Buttermilk.
2. A pint of molasses to a gallon O
water.
3. A lemon to half a gallon of waite,
and a teacupful of molasses, or as mucl
sugar.
4. Vinegar, sugar and water are sub
stitutes, but the vinegar is not a natura
acid, contains free alcohol, hence is no
safe or healthful.
5. A thin Cruel made of corr or oats
frank warm, is strengthening.
6. A pint of grapes, c~urrants, or gar
den berries to a half gallon of water i

Cold water applied to the head is yer
refreshing to a harvester. Wading il
water a5ates thirst. Persons cast ava
at sea will suffer less from thirst if tn
clothing is kept wringing wet with sal

at an equal distance from the hair an
top of the hat is a great protection t
the head against sun heat it is IN abs
lutte protection if one side is well cove
ed with gold leaf. AS there is always
space between the top of the head an
crown of the hat, matters should pract
calize this idea.

The CHINCH BUG.-A correspondent
of the Cincinnati Gazette, writing from
near Xenia, says:
awe have here in Ohio an insect
which is Familiarity known as the chinch
bug. This insect, in its early stage of
existence, creeps or runs, and is from
the point of a pin to the head of a pin
in size. After attaining the latter size
it is seen with wings. Then it becomes
an adult, and ceases to devour every
thing in its way las is it's habit up to
this period), and it goes to work produ-
cling millions more of these infinitesimal
insects. They destroy wheat and corn,
sometimes totally obliterating the crops
from the face of the earth. 1 never
knew wheat fields to be eaten entirely
bare, but l have known corn fields
where these bugs have destroyed the
crop hat looked as if there had been
nothing planted on it, after it was
| planted in the spring. Two seasons
within the asst six years they have been
thus destructive. Some years we see
none at all. This year they are very
scarce"
