The most serious evil which aficts South
Washington is the obstruction to travel and
traffic OF the belt Of surface tracks, which sep
arates the wharves and river front and a whole
and whatever also may fail to be accomplished
this obstruction should be removed Definite
provision which cannot be avoided or mis-
understood should be made for the lowering of
the tracks and the construction Of bridges.
The provisions for the benefit Of the public
should be not less specific than those for the
benefit of the railroads. Details OF construc-
ton may we'll be left to the supervision and
control of the Commissioners, but the respon-
sibihty for the general direction that the
tracks shall be covered with bridges built ut
specified points across the tracks at the ex-
pense of the railroads should be assumed
by Congress and not left as q
heavy and unsuitable burden to the
discretion of the Commissioners or of anybody
else. II It should be found impossible to Sc
cure the entire removal Of tho grade crossings
on 9th street and to dislodge the railroad from
the reservation, measures to reduce the evil OF
such crossings and of such occupation to a
minimum should be adopted. The provisions
oil the ingalls, bill on the subject, the report
states, are inadequate. In the contingency
Imagined the tracks should be entirely re-
moved from 9TH street, the reservation strip
oeSoted 10 railroad purposes should be entirely
covered and all necessary bridges for crossing
the street and strip should be provided IN such
fashion that the railroad tracks, cars and en-
gines therein will be entirely concealed

PUBLlC hlO1ENE.
Mr.. Moore, from the committee on public
health, made report upon the bill to prevent
the spread of scarlet fever in the District, and
was given authority to appear before the proper
committee of Congress to suggest certain
amendments. This committee also reported
favorably the bill for the appointment of a
sanitary engineer in the District. t-.
Commissioner Hlne, member OF the board,
stated that the Commissioners had reached the
conclusion that this measure was impracticable,
for the reason that it would be difficult to pro-
cure man to fill such an Office, and also on ac-
count Of the danger of bringing about clash
of authority. They had recommended that a
superintendent OF plumbing, with four assist
ants. be provided for, and they thought that
this would meet the objects of the bill.
Mr.. E. ]. Hannah stated that the recon-
mendations of the Commissioners had already
been introduced in Congress as an amendment
and he hoped that the board would give its
sanction to the amendment. resolution to
this effect was adopted.
OTHER MATTERS CONSIDERED.
Mr.. +. A. Reed of the Alexandria board of
trade and also member Of the Washington
board spoke of the steps that had been taken
for a survey of the river. He also thought the
river should be better lighted Mr. j. Harri-
son johnson agreed with the speaker. Mr..
Reed also reported Oh the situation of the
Mount Vernon avenue and project and Mr.. c.
b. Church for the harbor improvement commit
tee stated that it was estimated $500, 900 would
be needed to continue the river improvement.
Attention was call1d by Secretary Anderson
to the fact that July IL Of this year would be
the centennial of the. choice of this location as
the site of the capital city and that April Is
Of next year would be the centennial year of
| the laying Of the corner stone Of the District

resolution was presented by Mr.. w. c.
Dodge, by request. suggesting that an inquiry
be made az to the proposed plan for the recon-
| struction OF the long bridge and its approaches,
and also that any legislation to mutilate the
proposed Potomac river park be opposed Re-
ferred to the committee on harbor improve

WHO PAYS THE DUTIES

a contemporary which intended to re-
sent III Argument in favor of a protective
tariff inadvertently, we presume, stated that
the tariff tax is paid only by the consum-
ers OF foreign products" The statement is
correct only rs it Rppl es to foreign products
which We cannot or DO not produce at home.
Take. ior example, the article of tea. If we
impose tariff tax ON tea the consumer
must pay it, Assuming that tea costs so
cents a pound in the country in which it is
produced, and that 10 cents pound viii
bring it 10 this country, it is clear that if we
impose 4 duty Of 10 cents pound the Amer
lean consumer has to pay it. Let US now
take an article which We produce at home or
may import from abroad-steel rails, for ex-
ample. The American cost OF steel rails is
about SO ton. The foreign cost is nearly
enough Tor purposes of illustration SD
ton. Now if we impose tax of SO a ton on
the foreign article its cost in this market, to
say nothing Of transportation. would be S32
a ton. But the American consumer is
abundantly supplied with steel rails of
home production at S26 ton, and is Ger
tainly not going to pay $50 for an article
that may be bought for SIG. 1t is clear.
therefore, that if the foreign producer of
market he must pay at least Sc of the SO
the Government demands as a condition of
placing his product or our market. In case
our steel manufacturers can produce steel
rails at as low cost as foreign steel rail man.
ufacturers, the latter to get their goods in
this country have 10 pay the entire duty All
Of the duty the American consumer pays in
any event is the difference between the cost
of production at home and abroad. In the
case of steel rails We find that difference to
be about 81 ton. The American consumer
might get steel rails for SD if there were no
duty, and then he might not. In the absence
Of home competition foreign producers
might combine to raise prices above what
has been demonstrated to be the American
cost of production. Even If the American
consumer has to pay S26 ton in place of
so, there is abundant compensation in the
fact that the production of steel rails in this
country gives employment to thousands of
men and millions Of capital

DEMOCRATIC FANCIEs.

"About this time look out for rain" the
old almanacs used TO say. People who read
large number of Democratic papers para
phrase this saying in a way not compli-
mentary to the varacity of these journals.
The point aimed at now is to get Blaine in
antagonism 10 the President and other Re-
publican leaders. The New York Herald
and the New York World keep correspon-
dents in Washington whose duty it APP
parently IS 10 start new romance every
day. The Herald expert credits a Republi-
can leader with the statement that Mr..
Blaine knew when he went into the Cabinet
that Quay 'had put blanket mortgage on
the party for the benefit of manufacturers
who had supplied the Corruption Fund for
the election of General Harrison" The
valne of this Democratic invention may be
estimated In the light of the fact that the
principal opposition to the Republican tariff
comes from manufacturers. The persistent
demand Of New England manufacturers was
for free raw material. Delegations of them
visited Washington while the tariff was
under consideration by the Ways and Means
Committee and exerted all the influence they
possessed TO have certain kinds of raw ma
terial placed upon the free list New En-
gland manufacturers represented that with
out the privilege to get their raw material in

What TIE DEMocKAoY NEEDS.

A Democrat writes to the Santa Cruz Sen
tiael: what We need-What the Democ-
racy needs at this time is a toot-horn
parade OF the San Francisco Examiners
prize live stock and a Autograph copy
of Governor Markham's old letter" Which
is equivalent to saying that the De-
mocracy needs an organ in which it
has confidence. The Examiner based its
fight against Markham on an alleged letter
which Mr.. Markham denied having written.
For weeks before the election the Buckley
organ concentrated its energies on an effort
to convince the people that Markham wrote
a letter he denied having written. Since
the election-Since the Examiner had con-
vincing evidence that the people did not take
its word against Markham s-the letter has
been dropped The paper rests quietly I'M
der the verdict of having attempted to de-
ceive the public in matter involving the
honor of candidate for the high office of
Governor OF California. 1t is not surpris-
ing that stalwart Democrats but partially
conceal their contempt of the late leader
ship OF the Democrat party.

VINEYARDS, HEKE Nd IN FRANCE.

The annual report of the Viticultural
Commission states in substance that the wine
product OF this state will not be any greater
in 1850 thIn it was In 1889.
Il is Interesting TO com pare the outlay and
income oil French wine-grow er with those
OF Californian engaged III the same bust
ness. There is close analogy between the
Medoc District Oh the Garome and some of
our vine counties in this State, ard Consul
Roosevelt has lately collected statistics of
the industry in that part Of the world. BE
figures the annual expenses OF 4 vineyard
of six acres-not including The original
cost Of the vines-at S6C6 21-say 500 an
acre. This cOnte mpiates five plowings IN
year, the Con ami employment OF a force of
men ana women 10 pTune, weed, clear the
vineyard of insects, and prevent the earth
from covering lie young branches; and it
allows for an annual expenditure Of SOS So
Tor manure, say SIS an acre. Ii need hardly
be observed that 10 wine-grower i'll this
State spends anything like this sum of
money on his vineyard. Indeed, in view of
the size o. our vineyards, such thorough
cultivation would be ml ossible. a Caliior-
MAN reckons that he must have at least Ice
acres IN bearing vines. If he spent 500
require more capital than most planters
possess-especially as his wine, to command
a good price, ought 10 be held three years
before it is marketed.
The MeGoc V grower calculates on get
ting cut OF lis SiX-acre vineyard I'VE tons OF
wine-say 1.GO OF cur gallons, OF 30 gallons
per acre; and he figures that one year with
another this wine, when ripened, will COM
a 4
nine-grower reckors on getting from three
to five tons Of grapes per acre (the yield of
viuey ards is sometimes much more, and of
selling The grapes 1T from SIS per ton, which
is about the average for znfandels to $50
per ton, which muscates and choice WINE
grapes occasionally command. Most wine
growers would be glad to be guaranteed an
average yield of three tons per acre, worth
SO IA ton; in point of fact, very few vine
yards 10 this State yield as much as that,
one year with another. The Medoc grower
realizes on the average about S23 per acre;
the California grower, if he could count on
the above yield as an average, would net
500 an acre, nearly three times as much as
the Frenchman. The Californian has over
the FTenchman some advantages in point of
soil and climate, but they hardly wafTantso
wide a disparity in the profits of the industry.
The French wine chosen for comparison
in the above statement Is common ordinary
wine, such as is served without charge on
hotel tables. Some of the finer Medocs
command much higher price. There is
reason to hope that we shall produce light
wines which will approximate more closely
to the higher than to the lower grades of
Medoc. Meantime, the Californian can
buy his land much more cheaply than the
Frenchman
