OF all the commercial segments Of suffering
humanity none are more continuously disturbed
than the peach growers. Throughout the
winter they combat the icy forces Of nature;
in what to others is joyous springtime they
spend days and nights Of anguish wrestling
with meteorological probabilities and the
wraiths Of possible frosts; summer brings with
it all manner of dread disease. and should the
fruit survive until the ripening stage there is
either rot provoking delay in the matter of
railroad facilities or If the shipments move
smoothly the market price falls with the most
sickening of thuds. just now every indication
is favorable. The crop will be as good as
it is large, it Will be handled rapidly and
the figures will be a triie over the profit
able high-water mark. But the spirit of
the grower is disquieted within him, for he
fears the coming of the cholera. He does not
know whether it will get here or not, but he
does know that it may. and that is sufficient
basis on which to uprear a structure Of ante
choleraic grief which is touching in the ex-
IRENE. Should the dread epidemic overleap
the bounds Of quarantine the demand for
peaches viii be nothing and great financial
loss must ensue. There are many philosophers
in the United States but they are not promi-
nent among those citizens whose waking hours
are given to watching peaches grow and whose
nights are doubly darkened by the gloom of
Grape trimmed apprehension.

most important factor in municipal sanitation,
and after admitting the general purity of the
liquid used in the greater centers OF North
American population. he calls attention to the
strange failure our part to use the gift as it
should be used. Public wash and bath houses"
says he, ''are to be found in many European
cities ard are of great value in promoting
cleanliness of clothing and Of the person among
the poor. To them poor women can take their
bundles of soiled clothing and bedding,
and by the payment of a small fee can
have the use Of tubs, tables, hot and
cold water and drying facilities, and can
also have a bath. In the evening males can also
obtain baths there. Some OF our cities have
waterside swimming baths for summer use, but
public wash houses under municipal manage
ment and control are practically unknown in
this country" Other necessities, such as hos
pitfalls where contagious diseases may be prop
erly treated, public slaughter-houses, disinfec-
tion-stations and mortuaries are mentioned
and brief arguments made in their behalf,
but the gist of the paper is reached when it is
asserted and maintained that only through in
telligent public opinion can such reforms as are
needed be instituted and made permanent.
The Sanitary League Of this city is referred to
as an instrument that can do much to bring
about desirable end and of it the doctor says
that the conditions are unusually favorable to
success. The entire article will fully repay any
one who reads it.

The necessity for a national air that has not
been either borrowed OF stolen was very clearly
apparent during the naval rendezvous at
Hampton Roads and the subsequent ceremo-
mics in New York. In those places. il never
before, the chilly conviction struck many a
heart and there was hourly emphasis Of our
poverty and musical dishonesty When the
band on one of the British ships played "God
Save the Queen young lady visitor was de-
lighted with what she thought was an inter-
national compliment, for she imagined the
bandsmen were playing America" She was
not alone in her error; hundreds Of others
then in that vicinity did not know that our
greatest Of patriotic hymns is sung to a stolen
tune and that tune the most royalistic Of all
airs. There was similar misunderstanding as
to other melodies. They're playing Column
bia the Gem OF the Ocean," said q soldier who
from the wharf was listening to the .'Blake's'
band. His guess was wrong. They were play
ing Britannia the Gem of the Ocean, but he
was only one of millions who are not aware Of
the fact that both words and music OF that song
were lifted bodily across the Atlantic and that
somewhere on the way the word columbia was
substituted for Britannia Perhaps THE
Star Spangled Banner came nearer to being
generally recognized as our own than any Of
the other tunes, but foreign musicians did
nothing inexcusable when they discussed
among themselves the indisputable fact that
the words only are American; that the air is an
old English production, still sung in many
parts of her majesty's realm as the ode ITO
Anacreon in Heaven" Even ''Hail Columbia
that somewhat crude affair, was not above sus-
picion, for it is one Of the Oldest of italian
songs. not infrequently heard in the rural dis
tricts of the land of sunshine and blue Skies
How much longer must we wait for the coming
Of the American composer who will provide us
with purely national song? How much longer
shall we sing the songs of other countries and
call them our own? When shall We weary Of
this petty larceny?

From the day when overhead electric wires
were first put up down to the present time rep
resentatives Of the companies using the ''cheap
and nasty" system have declared with much re-
lucrative vehemence that the trolley current
would not kill. They talked voltage and in
sulation and precautions until, for their much
speaking. they were heard. Encouraged By
popular credulity the interested corporations
went on to declare the harmlessness of the cur
rents they used; related many alleged incidents
in which there figured imaginary men who
deemed a day misspent that saw no dalliance
with the power Of which ''only the ignorant
were afraid" But while these semi-humorous
And wholly fictitious legends were being circu-
lated the trolley current killed man and
before the happening could be explained
even by the plausible liars hired for pur-
poses Of explanation it killed another one
Then ensued variety. Horses and cattle
and pigs-here and ttere-suffered death
through the harmless wire, and occasionally
there were narrow escapes OF human beings
who were not in any way connected with the
workings Of the roads. Since then the work of
torture and summary destruction has gone
right along, and parallel with its progress is the
continuing and never-faltering statement as to
the innoxious character of the trolley wire.
The latest victim, a description of whose killing
is reprinted elsewhere in The STAR, was a South
Boston boy-strong. healthy and possessed of
those vital forces which offer most resistance to
the electrical shock. A piece Of telephone wire
was swinging from across the trolley wire and
this the boy grasped. He was buried on Sun
day. The current that burned body and soul
apart was but $50 volts, a quantity declared by
many of the so-ealled experts" to be as harm
less as circus lemonade and no more exhilarat-
ing than glass of ginger ale. Are the people
of this city anxious to extend their acquaint-
ance with this variety Of harmlessness?

Within few months there will be added to
our new navy a number Of first-class ships of
war and among these is one in which the peo-
pie of this city should be especially interested
the cruiser Columbia. 1t is so named be-
cause Secretary Tracy decided to honor the
District Of Columbia. Up to this time there
has been but little public interest manifested as
to really fine vessel but it would seem as
though something should now be done in recog-
milton of the godchild. So far every city that
has had a man-of-war named after it has made
the ship a suitable present. Libraries and
silver services seems to be favorites. The
former would seem to be preferable. although
either would be well received. The STAR is
inclined to favor the library i!ea and would
suggest that the District Commissioners as
representatives of all the people take such steps
as will result in the accumulation and disburse-
pnent of a sufficient fund. And now is the &C
cepted time.

Without noisy demonstration important
changes have taken place in an important
branch of the District government In the ad-
ministraticn of local affairs the Commissioners,
well informed though they may be as to legal
matters. have need of legal advice and this
they get from the attorney for the District.
The vacancy created by Mr.. Hazelton's resig
nation has been filed by the promotion of Mr..
8. 7. Thomas, who while for some time assist
ant attorney. has really been the working
force Of the Office. To aid him in the perform
ance OF his duty Mr.. A. B. Duvall has been
selected, and as both are men of high character
and legal ability the community Will be justified
in believing that the interests of the law abiding
are not to be wilfully or carelessly neglected
There is no other local Office which touches
more closely the local interests. and in which
ability and integrity have finer field for exer-
else. The STAR prophesies that the recognized
Office will make for itself a notable and admiral
bic record.

After years of pleading with Congress and
much local agitation there yesterday came into
active existence a court Of justice which can
not do otherwise than assist materially in
clearing up the oyercrowded dockets that are
now the most conspicuous features in this city s
Judiciary affairs. The organization of the
Court Of Appeals is practically complete and
ut the earliest possible moment it will proceed
to dispose of the business which is most press
ing. The importance Of this al iition to local
legal machinery can hardly be overestimated;
such a tribunal is absolute necessity. its
sbsence has occasioned much distress and ex-
pensive Inconvenience; its presence will facili-
tate matters that should have been settled long
ago. The court and those who may have
causes before it are to be congratulated on the
fact that Mr.. Robert Willett is clerk: he has
been faithful and popular in other positions of
trust and viii not be less in his new sphere.
