The inexcusable collision. which took place
yesterday at the intersection of Fourteenth
and q streets, teaches a lesson which should
not soon be forgotten. Improvements in the
manner Of public transportation have resulted
in higher rates OF speed and increased liability
to danger. especially where tracks cross each
other as they do at the point where many peo-
pie narrowly escaped death or serious manning
yesterday. II is incumbent upon the public
generally to be more alert in these days OF rapid
transit than 1t used to be when horse cars and
herdics were the best means available, but no
amount Of alertness on the part of passengers
would have affected the situation. which
Is now being commented upon to the disad-
vantage Of both the companies concerned. At
the Peace Monument, at Seventh street and at
Fifteenth street and New YORK avenue fagmen
control the movements OF cable trains and sim
liar precaution should have been taken as to
the crossing which was yesterday operated
without any prot ection whatever. Each of the
men who controlled the colliding cars may at
tempt to excuse himself by arguing or imagin-
ing that he had the right of way, but If either
of them proves his the fact will not
soo.he the nerves OF those who were so
severely Jared. i: is little less than
foolish for the responsible authorities
to say that within few DAYS a Waterman would
have been on duty. II there was necessity for
his presence that necessity was as urgent
really more SON the first day of cross travel
than on subsequent days. Perhaps the grip
man and the motorneer were both to blame, but
their culpability is less than that of those who
procrastinated as TO tine placing on duty of the
fagrnan.

Practical proof Of the value of cooperation
of citizens in the work of sanitation is given in
the experience narrated elsewhere in The
STAR. OF one parish in London, which, during
the prevalence of cholera in that city. escaped
the plague altogether. although many cases &C.
Cured all around the parish. This immunity
was secured BY the work of preparation and
prevention, done BY committees organized in
the parish. 1t is work of this character that
the Sanitary League. has in view, though

possible attack OF cholera. but 10 secure i'm
munity. so fa- as such thing is possible. from
all diseases originating from unsanitary condi-
lions. threatened invasion of cholera Is. in
deed. a blessing if it results in such house
cleaning as to shut out cholera and at the same
time to drive from our city maladies that
yearly claim many victims. A community long
accustomed to certain forms of preventable
diseases does not keeniy realize the an
nual tax in human lives it pays for the
privilege of permitting unsanitary conditions
to exist in its midst. A threatened epidemic
of cholera. which does Its work quickly. but
does no more terrible work thar other prevent
able diseases do in the long run, may have the
happy effect OF accusing an otherwise indifer-
eat community to its constant dangers, and to
stimulate it to an activity in sanitary matters
that will result in fa- greater and more lasting
good, than merely preventing the appearance
