New Years Resolutions.

We doubt not that more than one intem-
perate man right in our own city made up
his mind with the dawn of the new year
that he would have nothing more to do with
rum. Those are good resolutions, how
many will adhere to them? 1t is the duty
of all good citizens to do al in their power
t, help such men keep their good resolu-
tons.
A man who tempts one to break them is
the meanest kind of a sneak and coward.
A pood. hearted citizen of neighborlng
Maine city made resolution while ago
that he would in future use no more liquor.
Now this man has family and used to get
terribly intoxicated and abuse his wife ard
children. When he made his good resolu-
t;on he also made his family and
friends very happy and for period
covering nine months not drop of in
toxicatipg liquor did he take. His friends
thought he was cured and he was fast gain
ing the ground that he had lost, when few
dsvs ago he was asked to drink by another
man. we will not call him friend for he
does not deserve the name. He at first de-
clined but his companion insisted and he
took one drink, then more and at night IN
stead of going home sober, as he had been
doing fer over nine months, he went home
drunk and began abusing li' children and
wife. For several days he kept so and at
ter he did eober off he began to think OF
taking the Keeley cure and if it will do him
good we hope he will take it.
We can pity the weakness and irresolu-
tion of the poor fellow who gave way to bis
appetite, but there is nothing but contempt
for the miserable cur who urged him &c
break his good resolutions, and descend
AGAIN into the deptts of toperism.

Following the example set for so many

that, TO English eyes, are large, and that
all must admit 10 be valuable. The most
prominent effort just now is In the bay
called the Wash. and the total area which
IL is hoped to snatch from the ocean is
more than two hundred and fifty square
miles The work is one of great magnitude
and the estimated cost exceeds ten million

pectal force just now. because ii is esti-

ture in Gladstone's character, but the crit
les failed to take note of the fact that the
English people are conservative. and that
the Gladstonian view was almost invariably
the popular view. Gladstone's fidelity to
the national interests was nothing short of
wonderful; less remarkable only, perhaps
than his complete unselfshness. Devoted to

A contributor, whose letter Is priated
elsewhere. CONSTITUTES the editorial in yester-
days Star on the subject of the conta-
gious diseases hospital as an argument in
opposition to those who protest against
the location OF this hospital on the grounds
OF the Garfield Hospital. II is perhaps
natural that those who are in the heat and
excitement of controversy over the most
recent Of the proposed sites for this hos
pital should view discussion Of the gen.
eral subject as bearing mainly or exclusively
upon their own particular fight, in which
they are so deeply interested. But the
Stars position was stated with unmJstak-
able clearness. and it involved no intima-
ton whatsoever that the Garfield Hospital
site should be selected or that the remon-
strances Of the protestants against it
should not receive due consideration.
Happily for The Star, the obligation to per-
form the disagreeable task of imposing this
hospital upon somebody does not fall upon
II. but upon the Commissioners, and The
Star has not the slightest intention Of
usurping the functions of the Commits
siOners in this regard. 1t is conceded ;lat
the general welfare demands the existence
of a contagious diseases hospital The
Commissioners are required by law to
u
by medical authorities TO be suitable for the
purposes of this hospital storm of local.
sectional opposition and protest has arisen.
As the hospital must be located somewhere.
and as there is protest against every site
suggested il is evident that the Commits
sioners must in the end select the site which
In their judgment is best and least objec-
tionable and disregard the protests against
1t. IL they wait for site until suitable
one presents itself. against which no pro-
tests will be made. they will wait until
doomsday. And the city must wait for a
corresponding period for its hospital. The
Star advises the Commissioners to go ahead
and perform their bounden duty under the
law. and this advice is given with the inter-
ests Of all the people of the whole city in
view, whose welfare demands that there be
q single contagious diseases hospital, with
all scientific safeguards, and that the con-
dition cease at once under which there may
be an impromptu contagious diseases hos
pitaL with no limitations upon the spread
OF contagion. in every block.

task for any management to preserve the
unity which last year earned S135,U59, 1S7
and paid 10 the stockholders a five per cent
dividend without using up, by almost
million dollars, the balance that is avail
able for dividend paying purposes. 1t is
pleasant to know that Philadelphia and
Elizabeth are being made more desirable
as places Of residence by the judicious ex-
Penditure OF the company's money but
why should Washington be neglected? Pres
ident Roberts has repeatedly declared him
self favorable to the disbursement here Of
very large sum OF money to the end that
all the Pennsylvania grade crossings in
south Washington be superseded by de-
pressed tracks. What is there that prevents
him from commencing operations? Con-
gressional legislation is, of course, a prime
necessity, but when did Congress refuse to
pass a bill which the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company desired to have become law ?
At the capital. the nations show city. where
so great a corporation would naturally de-
sire to make the most creditable showing,
the Pennsylvania road preserves. in opposi-
ton to its general policy. an attitude from
which energy. enterprise and intelligent
public spirit are wholly lacking, and is not
ashamed to sponge upon public property
and to adhere to the stingy, murderous sys-
tenn of surface tracks, and to maintain the
constant menace to the city of Long Bridge,
and permits itself to be hampered in its
operations by inadequate and discreditable
terminals. In its occupation of public prop
erty in Washington the road is till ex-
tremely vulnerable in the event Of the cleo
ton Of an actively hostile Congress, and in
view of the indications that a populistic
day of wrath is preparing for 1t. there
would be worldly wisdom on it's part In
moving now for a complete settlement of
its accounts with the public involving the
reforms and improvements that have been
suggested.

Officials who are charged with the duty
Oh examining into the healthfulness and
purity OF food sold in this city will find Cd
portunity for fruitful effort In connection
with the disposal of butterine and oleo-
margarine Believers in these artificial pro-
ducts declare them to be in every sense
equal to butter, and to the holding and dis
seTnination Of that opinion they have un-
questioned rights. but no reasonable defense
can be set up in behalf Of those unpriaci-
pied dealers and restaurant keepers who
sell the inferior and imitation article and
call it butter. If people want butterine and
like 1t there is no opposition to their pro-
curing and swallowing all they desire, but
when customers ask for butter they should
not be imposed upon by the INSCRIPTIONS
With good reason it is believed that in some
OF this city's restaurants oleomargarine is
served in place of butter. Such conduct is
an offense that merits exposure even if
punishment by the courts is not possible
