Clean Up for Summer.

To the Editor of THE TINES:
few days since complained to the Health
Officer of pond of stagnant water on the square
bounded by Eleventh, Twelfth, !, and streets
northeast. The inspector reported that the
nuisance was being abated. respectfully sug-
gest that the inspector was mistaken, as the
water is still there, ''as large as life and Just
lovely" Any person of common sense knows
that stagnart ponds are provocative of typhoid
fever, malaria, and a score Of other dangerous

something that will carry the water off as fast
as it runs in The large hill on the southeast

When Sherman Smiled.


In one of your editorial paragraphs you say
that if John Sherman ever smiles it must be in
wardly, and therein you made mistake saw
him smile once. 1t was when the Vice President
announced the final vote upon the repeal Of the
purchasing clause OF the Sherman act He
leaned his head back and rested it on the back
Of his chair. For moment he Eazed at the cell
ing and then smile, as though stranger there,
slowly crept over his features
Yes, Sherman smiled. lie smiled, although he
knew better, perhaps, than any man in the
Senate. save Jones OF Nevada, the distress, the
despair, the hunger, the suffering, the disorder
that that vote would bring 10 his native land
and to the common people of the whole world
You did Sherman an injustice. When he
leaned back in his chair and saw the completion
of twenty-six years OF effort on his part TO
double the purchasing power OF money-saw
that he had doubled the value of every bond, of
all taxes and all debts, that railroads would
be wrecked, mills stopped, millions thrown out
of employment, Woe, want, and starvation all
over the land, Sherman smiled.
Be fair and let The fact be duly recor led, for
We are making history these days, and the re-
cord should be correctly kept t. H. TiBBLEs.

He Wants a Large Mass of Statistics from
the Secretary of the Treasury.
At the opening OF the session of the Senate
yesterday Mr. Allen introduced and asked for
the immediate consideration Of resolution
calling upon the Secretary of the Treasury
for information as to the total number Of per-
sons engaged in protective industries, the
number of persons whose wages are claimed
to be affected by protection, the number
whose wages are not affected, also the pro-
portion of the population of the United States
dependent upon the foreign market for the
sale of their products. also the number of
persons engaged in protected industries who
ars native citizens, the number naturalized
and the number alien, also the proportion of
native or naturalized citizens who are being
displaced by aliens.
Mr. Chandler asked that the resolution go
over until to-day, suggesting that it was
pretty large volume of statistics to call for.

On the Right Side.

To the Editor of THE TINES:
SIR: There has been no disposition so far as
have been able to learn, on the part Of real
estate agents and the owners Of property under
rent in this city, TO relieve the distress Of the
people who are in their power, by reducing the
rents. Small houses IN the city, such as are
adopted to the use of people in moderate cir
cumstances rent for too much The idea OF pay
ing from $3.50 to s1S 25, up to geo 30 for houses
of from five to seven rooms in these times Is out
rageous. There ought to be convention OF
tenants held at an early day in this city for the
purpose of persuading real estate agents and
house owners who rent their own property TO
reduce rents. In these hard times rents are too
high in this city. nm glad THE TINES is on the
side OF the suffering poor to tho extent OF de-
manding cheaper rents, and hope it will con-
tinue to insist upon reform in this direction.
Very respectfully. JOIN E BRUCE.

SENATOR VEST.

Senator Vest charges Mckinley with
mends city. because, in a speech at Bangor,
Mckinley is reported to have said the
Democrats had not redeemed single
pledge that they had made. Mr.. Vest in
stanced the repeal OF the Federal election
law and of the silver purchasing clause of
the Sherman act as redemption of
pledges. The repeal of the Federal cleo
ton act must count as the redemption of
one pledge. But tho promise to repeal the
silver purchase clause of the Sherman act
was coupled with a promise to provide for
the circulation of silver on an equality
with gold. No such legislation has been
seriously considered. One-half the pledge
has been redeemed. Whether or not it was
wise to stop at this halfway point, the
fact of having stopped cannot be denied.
Senator Vest also says that there never
was moment when the Wilson bill could
not have passed the Senate. Senator Cor
man has said there never was moment
when it could. There is a difference oil
opinion between the two Senators, with
the advantage on the side of the Maryland
Senator. If the friends of the Wilson bill
in the Senate were able to pass 1t. perhaps
Senator Vest will explain why they die
not. With a majority of the Senate anC
the President IN favor Of the Wilson bill, i
is strange that it never was submitted 10
