THE EASTERN BRANCH FLATS.

Ile reclamation oil the extensive

days CRIrIc. is a matter that ought to
be urgently impressed upon the atton.
tion of Congress this winter. 1t IS Il
proposition of which the merits speak
for themselves, aud with quite ~ much
force as in the case Of ,ha great and
valuable Improvements nov in progress
upon our immediate river front.
1t is not only contrary TO sound pol.

formed into habitable property Ut II
comparatively small expense, shuuli b.
left in wholly unproductjvc and un.
slightly condition; but there are snui.
tary rcasons--thc most powerful Of all
argumcnts-why this work Of reclama.
tion should be entered upon at the
earliest practicable moment
Although Washington is known to
be one of the healthcs. ciics in the
country, there Is still an undue preva-
lence here of mallrious diseases which
have their germiuation in just such
miasmatic swamps as skirt the sluggish
stream referred 20.
What would naturally affect the
salubrity of that portion of the District
is injuriously felt no doubt at remoter
distances, and thus becomes a source Of
constant danger to the general health.
Every one who is familiar with the
locality knows this to be the case.
Even cursory examination of this
long stretch of morass will convince
the observer that 1t must be a breeding
place of disease.
In this view of the matter, If In no
other, 1t surely becomes the duty of the
Government to make provision for the
reclamation Of the tract, at the same
time deepening the channel of the
Branch and making its current better
auxiliary to the Boundary sewer. But
there are many weighty considerations
to be cited in support of the PROPOSE
zion. The improvement would enlarge
the real estate area of the District,
greatly enhance the value of property
in the neighborhood and add i'm
mensely to the desirability of East
Washington rs a residence. IT would
make valuable ii good deal Of land that is
now worth nothing aud give sym
metrical finish to that section of the
city.
1t is readily conceivable that If the
work were promptly aud energetically
undertaken, very few years would
witness the conversion of these flats
into a splendid park almost equal in
area to what are known MS the Potomac
Flats, and equally capable Of con-
tributing to the comfortand adornment
of the National Capital. Something of
the kind is quite as much the due Of
our East Washington friends as of the
more favored denizeus of the West
End, and we have little doubt that II
the matter were properly laid before
Congress it would meet with favor at
once, and secure an appropriation, even
at the approaching session, sufficient II
give this much needed improve neat q
start.

THE NEW YORK "SUS" AND THE
EXPOSITION.

The New York Sun opposes the Per.
manent Exposition project-that is, its
proposed location in Washington-be
cause it cannot see what possible rela-
tion exists between the Centennial of
the Constitution in 1889 and the
Quadri- centennial of Columbus in 1892.
1t would therefore have the Centennial
of the Constitution in New York, the
Quadri. centennial of Columbus every
where, and the Permanent Exposition
nowhere. At least that's about what
the SIMS argument amounts to, If 1t
AMOUNTS to anything.
The New York plan seems to be to
break the logical connection between
1889 and 1892, and, by this breakage,
let the exposition drop.
The error into which the Sun has
fallen is not due to local prejudice alto.
gether, but in great part to misnppre-
hension of the purpose In view. As
suming the Permanent Exposition to
be in itself desirable thing and, un-
der proper auspices, capable of being
made an illustrious success, its indirect
association with the Centennial of the
Constitution is at least natural, If not
unavoidable-so much 81 that were
there sufficient intervening time for the
necessary preparations, it were better,
perhaps, If the opening Of the eXposi,
tion and the celebration Of the aiop,
tion Of the constitution could be con
temporaneous.
The Sun evidently does not under
stand that all the Republican Govern
ments of the Western Hemisphere arc
expected to participate in the ccnteu,
nial of 1880. They will bring thell
constitutions with them, modelled after
our own, as the first fruits of their ey,
periments in civil liberty, Many oi
them will, no doubt, bring evidence.
of their industrial progress, pro luc
tive wealth aud native resources, that
the occasion may combine utility viii
ornament, and in anticipation of th,
grander representation which they vii
be able to make three years later,
Thus will the centennial of the con
stltution become an initial and auxiliary
step to the Exposition OF 1892. The
logical connection so far is certainly
not obscure.
And what more proper, seniimentally
considered, or more sagaciousln bust
ness sense, than to couple the opening
OF the Exposition with the celebration
