Secretary Herbert Is severe in his letter
to the commandant Of the Brooklyn Navy
Yard in regard to the recently discovered
violations of the labor rules of the depart
msnt, but he is not a whit too severe for
the purposes of the case and the best inter-
ests of the service. According to his letter
10 the commandant. which reflects no
blame whatever on that official, there has
been In progress at that most important of
all the yards regular system of evasions,
If not violations, of the rule that common
prudence has suggested for the govern
ment of the establishment. Men have been
hired out of their trades, and, having once
been placed on the rolls, have been merely
suspended when their work ran out, in
stead of being discharged, so that they
could be put back to work when things
grew more active without going through
the formality of appearing before the labor
board once more. This has led to the crea-
ton of class Of favorites, to the exclusion
of worllmen who are just as capable and
perhaps more so. Men have been hired
under assumed names, a suggestive token
Of something to be concealed. Whatever
may have been the measure of individual
responsibility for these irregularities, the
Secretary has done right In changing the
staff Of officers at the yard. and in issuing
such ringing note of warning to all sub
ordinates who are placed in charge of i'm
portant works. Merit alone should be the
test for employment. This fact the Secre-
tary recognizes. i. is evident, and he seems
determined that this principle shall prevail
under his administration of the Navy De-
partment.

be unfit even for bathing purposes" Col
Elliot, in an interview which appears in
The Star today, refers to an address de-
Nvered before the House Committee on APP
preparations last year by DR.. S. C. Busey,
president of the Medical Society of the Dis
trict, in which the doctor stated that no
germs of typhoid fever have been found in
Potomac river water. DIR. Wales. who was
until recently director of the Museum of
Hygiene in the Navy Department and who
daily made analyses of the water for some
years, is also quoted thorough believer
in the harmless character Of the Potomac
water, even when 1T Is in an extremely
turbid condition; he found in the course of
his studies of the Potomac supply five
forms of microbe organisms all innocuous
and generally present in all river waters;
after three years of careful archaeological
study of Washington's water supply he was
satisfied that the Potomac furnished as
good water as any river in the world Col.
Elliots discussion of the various filtration
systems is extremely interesting and will
doubtless be read and studied by many
Washingtonians who are anxious to see and
enjoy radical Improvement of the supply
which Is so essential to comfort, health and
even to existence itself. More than is now
being done cannot possibly be accomplished;
every energy on the part of responsible
officers is being bent toward the COM
pletion of all the work which has re-
ceived congressional approval and for which
sufficient appropriation has been made. Col
Elliot seems to be satisfied that with the
completion of the Dalecarlia reservoir ana
the putting to some practical use of the
reservoir near Howard University the peo-,
pie of the District will have no cause foT
complaint to muddy water; for with SO
much of additional reservoir capacity there
is no reason why sedimentation should not
do deliberately what is in rare instances
accomplished elsewhere by rapid and ex-
pensive filtration. Notwithstanding the
further congressional action that will be
necessary before the sedimentation plan is
even reasonably sufficient-the water-con-
sumers in this city must content them
selves as wen they can with knowledge of
the fact that Potomac water is very much
better than it appears to be.

The law declares that the authority of
the lexington Company ito erect or. use
overhead wires in Its operation within the
city of Washington shall absolutely cease
and determine on July 1, 1885" This au-
thority has ceased. The company has no
longer the right to use overhead wires
within the city of Washington. In defiance
OF the law 1t continues to use such wires
and 1T now applies to a court of equity
to become accessory to its law-breaking
operations by preventing interference by
the municipal authorities with this illegal
Use. Since it admits that it is illegally
using overhead wires, does It come into
court with clean hands? VIII a court of
equity overthrow the law? Will it do so
indirectly by permitting the restraining
order to remain in force pending an ap-
peal? The company says that the Commits
sione-s have no right to cut down its poles.
If the Commissioners do cut them down
ard by any possibility it should turn out
that they had no right to do so, they will
be responsible in damages to the company
But the fact that the cutting of the poles
prevented the using of the overhead wires
for operating the railroad would not be
an element in the damages recovered. and
cannot be the basis of an injunction alleg-
ing irreparable injury. since the law for
bids the use of the wires, and the pre-
sumption of the law is that the company
would not have used them had they re-
manned upon the poles In applying for an
Injunction to prevent the Commissioners
from cutting its wires the company ought
to be required to clear its own skirts of
the accusation of law-breaking by deciar-
ing that it had ceased to use the over
head wires within the city OF Washington
In obedience to the terms of the law ELM
mating the factor of Illegal railroad use
Of the wires, the damages caused by the
cutting of the poles and wires could easily
be ascertained, ard no injunction would
be necessary. The Commissioners ought
not to be restrained pending appeal by
the company from decision adverse to it.
This is the real point of contention, and
If ii is carried by the company the latter
will be the actual victor. no matter how
the lower court may decide the nominal
main ISSUE

The muddy water with which the people
OF this city are being literally supplied is
still prominent topic of local conversa-
ton. In spite of all that has been said
about the harmlessness of the insoluble
matter which is such a conspicuous feature
of the Potomac for some time after rain
storm there is a natural distaste on the
part of Westinghouse for the solids
which are so thoroughly mixed up with the
city's water supply. And to a very con-
siderable extent the objections are right.
Doubtless the Potomac mud which Is
washed down stream by every freshet is
harmless, but there cannot be successful
concealment of the fact that the same
showers that bring to us large sections of
pulverized river banks wash through barn
yards and cesspools and other undesirable
places before finding their way through
creeks to the Potomac and the reservoirs
Col Elliot, who was until recently In
charge of the Washington Aqueduct, says
that the Potomac water Is by no means un-
wholesome. He asserts that the supply is
as good as that drawn from any American
river Notwithstanding that 'it is often so
offensive to the eye as to make it appe,,c to

Though some may dream of purling brooks
and oscillating trees,
OF meadows that are beloved by the
clover-scented breeze,
The melancholy "other half who in the

Have naught to do but suffer and to Sigh

In the signing of the forests and the muir
muir of the sea.

the sizzling street.
The darnpness of the moisture and the
holiness of the heat!

The story of the boat-race today between
the crew of Cornell University and the
Trinity Hall Cambridge crew at Henley
presents some features that are at this
time ncomprehensible. With good lead
almost from the start, Cornell seemed to
be an easy winner. but when only about
one-third of the race had been rowed men,
bers of the Cornell crew gave evidence of
being greatly distressed and in several in
stances ceased even to paddle. One after
another of the American. oarsmen was af-
fected and the result was victory for the
Trinity Hall crew by more than eight
lengths; IN fact, the judges hoisted the
sign Not rowed out" At this distance
from the remarkable event and in the alb
sence of testimony that Will doubtless make
its appearance later on. it Is practically
impossible TO understand the defeat of
those in whom there was so much of Amer
lean confidence. The time for the first
half mile was not at all extraordinary-the
Comedians have themselves beaten it many
times in practice-so it cannot be that
ultra-exertion was responsible for the COL
lapse of the five or six men who failed SO
unaccountably. Over-traning might fur
nish something like an excuse, but II can
hardly be that men experienced in athletics
allowed themselves TO be dieted and exer-
cised to such fine point that half mile of
a pull at ordinary racing rate was too
much for them. The failure of the Cornell
crew to accomplish that for which it cross-
ed the Atlantic is disappointing to a great
many Americans who are not at all inter
ested in boat-races, but unless there are
developments of q sort wholly improbable
there is nothing disgraceful connected with
the defeat except the conduct Of those gal
liant Englishmen who Kissed the disabled
and beaten occupants of the Cornell boat
when three or tour of its eight oarsmen
were doing the best they could to finish
the race.

The feeble efforts of the Texas author
tiles in protest against the Dallas prize
fight are the merest pretense. They have
not the faintest evidence of candor But
when a meeting of church and religious
people carries by only majority of two
a motion to protest against the encounter
1t is hardly to be expected that politicians
will be much stirred up.

Clearing Out
The Summer
Footwear.

The "Clearance Sale Is not a
new idea, and It Is oftentimes used
by shoe stores as a matched up
excuse to make more business by
making you think that you are
actually being given" the shoes.
Do not confound this clearing out of
summer shoes with the Clearance
Sales" about town. It's just this
way-and it's as plain as can be:
We've made enough money for one
season. We have had a big slice of
the shoe trade, and We are salts
tied. Now, the season is waning. We
look the situation straight in the
face and make up our minds to get
rid of every summer shoe in stock
at cost if necessary. You know the
sort of shoes We sell-you know that
none but stylish, well-made and
serviceable shoes enter this door.
Even to the novelties have been
marked down to bure cost. We have
added another shoe filter and now
we shall be better able TO serve you
than we were yesterday.
