ANOTHER EMERGENCY HOSPITAL.

There cannot be too many emergency
hospitals in the city, and the proposition
made by the board Of directors of Provi-
dence Hospital 10 the District Commits
sioners is one that would seem TO call for
favorable consideration.
The board Of directors suggest that
Providence be also made an emergency
hospital, the city 90 be divided into two
districts, Seventh street to he the dividing
line: all cases occurring east OF that
street TO be sent to the Providence Hos
pital, all west OF it TO the present Emer-
gency Hospital.
il may not be advisable TO place the di.
viding line where the board Of directors
suggests; Second street probably would
bemore tothe purpose. But this is a second
airy consideration; the chief desideratum is
20 have another emergency hospital, espe-
cially one readily accessible from the east
ern section of the city. Should this
suggestion be put into practice and its
value demonstrated there is no doubt that
hospitals in other sections of the city
would fall intoline after awhile.
1t would not be bad idea to have every
hospital in the city care aor emergency
cases.

LET THE CONVENTIONS COME HERE.

No city in The country is so well adapted
for holding the great political conventions
as Washington is There is a consensus
Of opinion to this effect among our leading
citizens, q number Of whom express their
views in our columns this morning They
also cordially endorse the suggestion OF
The Times. that an effort should be made
TO cause the conventions Of ls96 to be held
at the National Capital.
More than enough reasons can be ad-
duced to show that Washington is the con-
TentiOn city par excellence; a few will
suffice First Of all, it has better hall
Accommodations already than any other
city Convention Hail win comfortably
seat 5000 persons, and it is altogether
probable that the armory annex could be
utilized for committee and other necessary
uses; access 10 ii from all hotels is con-
Tenient and il is within easy walking
distance Of the business part Of the city
and Of all the government departments.
Wash ing tom is centrally located for
the entire section OF country west of the
Mississippi: a considerable number OF the
leaders OF all parties, notably Hon. Thomas
g. Reed, are in favor OF holding the ma
tional conventions here: it is a fact that
all national conventions other than poll
tical have found il TO their advantage
TO gather in this city; there is practically
no limit TO the hotel and boarding house
accommodations necessary for such an
occasion; prices are reasonable and the
people hospitable and engaging to strang
ers from habit and practice.
These are reasons that viii appeal TO
those whom we wish 10 attract; those that
should move our citizens to activity and
effort are so patent that it is hardly neces-
sary to enumerate them. The advantages
to be derived from having the conventions
here Will he more than temporary, for
Washington impresses itself readily upon
men Of wealth, and many OF these would
make investments here and help to make
the beautiful city yet more beautiful.
The Board OF Trade is the proper body
70 take the initiative in this matter. II
should lose no time, but institute at once
a vigorous canvass with view to make
as good a showing as possible before
the committees that determine where the
next conventions are TO be held.
The Washington times., 1895-04-18
CONCERNING GAS METERS.

II there is anything more unreliable than
a tickle woman or a politicians promise
it is a gas meter. 1t seems especially
adapted To recording falsehoods, and the
inside mechanism must be strongly built to
grind out some the statements that appear
on the register. But like the voice of mule
a gas meter soon gets accustomed to the
strain, and if il ever registers the truth it is
because Of a hitch in the machinery, and
not from an occasional relapse to verify.
Washington gas meters are tested by an
official expert before they are turned over to
the monopoly. The test is genuine and no
doubt rigid, but who ever heard OF a gas
meter that would always remain perfect?
il is claimed that after years use 90 per
cent. OF gas meters register too fast, 2s per
cent are too slow and the remaining % per
cent. give the correct measurement, and gas
consumers are charged accordingly.
When these facts are considered in con
nection with an eXorbitant price, it is no
wonder consumers complain of the Washing
ton monopoly. 1t is bad enough to be
swindled by unreliable meters, when gas
lis furnished at a reasonable rate, without
being obliged to submit TO extouionate
prices. Consequently a determined effort
must be made to obtain cheaper gas.
Let every reader cut out the gas coupon
in this paper and send it to The Times.
A petition to Congress for dollar gas must
soon be prepared and it should bear atleast
so 600 names. Add yours to the list

against the wind so far as public good is
concerned.
AT the beginning OF this administration
there was an antitrust law on our statutes.
But instead OF directing Attorney General
olney TO enforce it p PRESIDENT Cleveland in his
message denounced trusts as a communism
OF pelf'' and otherwise shot blunderbuss
load OF platitudes at the dear public.
Up to this day no effort has been made
to abolish trusts, nor is President Cleve-
land on record as requesting it to be done.
There is n wonderful difference between
charming the people with catch phrases
and putting the knife into the heart of this
communism of pelf," and President
Cleveland thoroughly understands that
difference. There is also a wide vari-
ance in addressing letters to the public and
sending instructions TO an official, and
President Cleveland also knows how TO
determine that variance.
The sugar trust, the beef trust, the Stand
ard Oil trust, the tobacco trust, the starch
trust, the coal trust, and many others of
this communism of pelf'' are openly
robbing the public, and il is TO be hoped that
the next Presidential effusion VIII be an
order 10 Attorney General Olney to drive
them out OF existence.
The Washington times., 1895-04-18

and l have no distinct impression as to
the question in that respect, but believe
that the holding of the conventions here
would be good thing for the city. Its
attractions once Obse rved by men of
wealth could scarcely fail TO commend it
to their Judgment as the place to live"
Myron NJ. Parker: Yes; il would be
good thing to have the conventions here.
We are bipartisan, and the deliberations
of the bodies would be without local in
fluence."
Lewis j. Davis: ''Of course, this is the
place; we have the hall all ready for the con
yentionS.' ~
conventions here, the most appropriate place
for them in the United States. We have
facilities and attractions to offer which are
uneXcelled in the country
CAN TAKE CARE OF THEM
A. NJ. Lothrop: 1T is proper that the
national conventions should he held at the
capital There is certainly no reason why
they should not be held here l am
confident we can take care of them Wash
ington is the city of conventions and is re-
garded as the meeting place and head
quarters of all the influential bodies in the
United States in all branches of science and
industry.
Perhaps it is a little selfish for Wash
ingtonians to want it all, but there is really
no other city SO well adapted to all the
purposes of these conventions as our own,
beautiful and hospitable.
T. w. Somerville regards Washington as
the finest place onearth for a convention.
Mr.. s. W. Woodward endorsed the views
of Mr.. Lothrop.
President Warner, OF the Board of Trade,
was out of town yesterday, but he is un-
doubtedly in line with the businessmen andhis
tfellow members of the Board of Trade on
the subject. Indeed it would be difficult
to find corporal's guard in opposition TO
the desire that the nomination of the man
who is given house free of rent for four
years, gas free, electric lights free, plumbing
free, best churches in the world free, lovliest
city in the world free, privilege of reading the
best papers in the United States free, should
be made in the city where he is to move and
have his being.
