Remarkable indeed IS the rumor which
has it that Secretary Gresham is consider
ing the advisabilty of deporting Minister
Thurston against the iattar's will on the
ground, which has often been maintained,
that this government has the right to ex-
clude obnoxious aliens or foreigners whose
presence is deemed a source of danger
The statement is made with surprising con-
fidence that this policy would justify Mr.
Gresham In having Mr.. Thurs.on escorted
beyond the boundaries, because Mr.. Thurs
ton, In his capacity as an advocate of an
nexation, could be regarded as obnoxious
and dangerous. This Is the second time
that the law Of the land has been quoted
by those who are anxious 10 make a strong
showing In excuse for Mr.. Gresham's
strange proceeding in this case. Attention
has already been called in The Star TO one
OF these nonsenslcaI efforts in which a
statute was gravely quoted which had no
earthly bearing on tho case. Now comes

e retirement of Col Elliot of the corps

The retirement Of Col Elliot of the corps
of engineers of the army from active SER
vice on Sunday next viii of course relieve
him from the charge of the Washington
Aqueduct which he has managed for some
years with great skill and to the perfect
satisfaction of the citizens of Washington.
He will not, however. entirely relinHuish his
work IN connection with the water supply
of this city as he Is by law retained In
charge of the rehabilitation of the Dalecar-
liza receiving reservoir which is in itself
deed one of Col Elliot's own projects and 1t
Is eminently proper that he should COM
plete 1t. Col Elliot Is q student of the
water supply problem whose opinion on
every subject in that connection Is of the
greatest value. His recommendations to the
chief of engineers which have found their
way to Congress have always been highly
1t was he who called attention during the
past winter in a most convincing way to
the folly of further temporizing expedients
in legislation in the matter of raising the
dam at Great Falls and the people of the
District owe him great gratitude for his
prompt and fearless utterances on that sub
ject. Maj Knight who succeeds him in
aqueduct Is a thoroughly competent man,
according to his superior officers as we'll as
to the opinion which Washington had al
ready formed of him through previous ac-
quaintance with him and his work.

The suggestion that the famous Detroit
potato-patch charity plan might be put
into effective operation in the District of
Columbia that was contained in these col
umns a few days ago is apparently finding
favor among students of science of aims
giving in this city, will be attested by
an interview published in The Star today
with Mr.. Henry A. Robinson, chief Of the
division of statistics of the Agricultural
Department. who, explaining the great sue
cess of the plan in Detroit, of which city
he is a resident, argued in favor of the es-
tabAshment of these small garden farms
for the poor in this city. One of the most
favorable features of the scheme, as Mr..
Robinson says, is the fact that recipients
of this aid do not consider that they re-
cefve charity. but that what they get in
this way is the result of their own efforts.
Washing gton certainly needs some good plan
of operation against want and hunger in
the winter months of distress. There Is, Of
course, sufficient spare capital in any city
of this size to care for all the unfortunates
II they are to be treated in the old-fash-
ioned way of alms-giving: what is more
needed. however, than money to be given
directly to the poor is capital and enter
which has been tried in Detroit with sue
cess whereby the people may themselves be
made the agents of their own aid and COM
fort. The suggestion Is of sufficient value
to be considered seriously by those either
officially or voluntarily in charge of the
public charities.

Mr.. Gladstone and his friends need not
be at all chagrihed over the vengeful ef-
forts of the Sublime Porte to clear all
Turkey and Armenia of the portraits Of
the grand old man. of England. The Sui
tan seems to have a special antipathy to-
ward Mr.. Gladstone now that Turkey is
being pressed into a corner by the civilized
powers on account of the terrible outrages
perpetrated in Armenia. 1t was Mr.. Glad
stone who first sounded the cry of resent
ment in England when the atrocities be-
came known. and to this fact is doubtless
due the recent order that all portraits of
the ex-prenlier shall be confiscated as "se-
ditious literature" No higher compliment
could possibly be paid to Mr.. Gladstone
and all that he represents than by this
Characterization. To be ''seditious" in the
eyes of the Sublime Porte is to be honored
by all the rest of the world, as the case
stands at present.

that Mr.. Thurston is properly subject to
the above-quoted power Of the nation. The
government has, without doubt, the ALSO
lutte right to exclude from It's borders a
dangerous alien when tn times OF internal
or international troubles such an Individual
may be detected in the act of furnishing
information to the common enemy or in
citing a rebeIl!ous spirit aIr. Thurston,
however, is doing quite the contrary. BY
his demeanor and behavior while IN this
country he has done more I'd argue for an
nexatfon with Hawaii than volumes CT
literature could have done. 1t is yet to
be demonstrated that the suggestion OF an
nexation with Hawaii IS seditious or dan
gerous. Should Mr.. Thurston be deported
on this ground the next logical step would
be to imprison as for high crime large
proportion of the legislative branch of the
American government and Of the people
themselves.

The news columns Of Saturdays Star
contained the following brief but interest
ing paragraph: THE female employees of
the recorders office presented Recorder
Taylor today with floral testimonial"
Attention has already been called in these
columns to a similar violation of the law
on a previous occasion, but for some rea-
son or other no attention has been paid to
the offense by the prosecuting officers of
the District or by the appointing powers.
The intrinsic value of the present given

significant, but the spirit of violation of the

A suggestion for the inventor of new
ways to kill men in time of war Is con-
tanned in a late dispatch from Cuba reIat-
ing to the progress of the revolution in
that country. 1t now appears that the In
surgents, remembering the experience Of
former armies sent from Spain to put down
revolts in other days. are relying upon the
yellow fever, which is peculiarly prevalent
and fatal in Cuba, to thin the ranks of
the royal troops and so to increase their
chances of success. 1t would be quite in
line with the advance of modern science
for some one to devise a new bacteriologi-
cal cannon, a sort of microbic mitrailleuse.
to scatter germs of disease among the en-
emy instead Of balls of lead or steel. 1t
viii be remembered in this connection that
M. Pasteur has already proposed to in
nocuIate the rabbits of Australia with the
seeds of a fatal disease, and so to cause
the pests themselves to solve the problem
of Kidding the country of the greatest nuis-
ance it has ever endured. The same prin-
cipIe. 1t seems, would apply to human
warfare, and. being one more step toward
the perfection of means of destruction,
would probably hasten the day when war
will be practically unknown among nations

Col. ElIfot's Retirement.


Another army retirement next week will
be that on March 81 of Colonel George
Henry Elliot, corps of engineers, after a
distinguished service dating from July,
1855, when he was graduated from the
Military Academy. fourth in his class, and
promoted to the artillery. After a fair
share of frontier duty he was transferred
to the corps of engineers In 1857. During
the war he rendered important professional
service at various strategic points of the
country, and was brevetted major in 1865.
Since the war his services have been of a
very high order. performed with credit to
the army, to the country and to himself.
In 1893 he attained the grade Of colonel
To the good wishes of his many friends for
MS future health and happiness we beg to
add our own tribute to his worth as an
officer and a gentleman.

The cable cars Of the Columbia railroad
are now being stopped at the near" cor
ner of the street. that Is to say, at the
first crossing reached. This is a rule that
is somewhat new but which is being put in
force in some northern cities as being much
safer than the old rule of stopping at the
far" corner, or when the car has crossed
the street. The new rule Is based on excel
lent reasoning and might well be adopted
at once by all the other cable and electric
lines in the city. the car that stops at the
Lear corner can never cross a street at full
speed. The dangers of collision with Pc
destrians and vehicles are greater at cross
ings than at other places, and therefore
the chances of casualties are reduced as
the cars are slowed at such points. Tho
car that stops at the far crossing runs at
nearly full speed to within a few feet of the
point of complete rest. or after the real
danger has been passed. A uniform prac-
tice in respect to points Of stoppage should
be adopted by every rapid transit line in
the District, so that citizens may under
stand just what to expect at every cross
ing, and may not be confused by different
rules in different localities.
