NO GARBAGE coNTRAcr YET.

IL is less than a week TO The first day of
May. Warm weather has set in, and the
garbage contract has not yet been made.
These are three indisputable facts which
taken as a whole, constitute rather Sc
nous matter and would seem to furnish
sufficient ground for some uneasiness on the
part OF the people of Washington. There
has been, IN all conscience, time enough
for the Commissioners to have made ar
rangements for this service. Instead,
however, one hears of quibbling on the
part OF bidders with reference TO certain
requirements, and thus valuable time is
lost that might otherwise be employed in
perfecung the preparations for beginning
the service promptly on May l.
When Congress made the appropriation
OF $40 900 for the collection ofsgarbage
and SIC, 900 for destroying it by cremation
or reducuon-an appropriation far in ex-
cess or any heretofore granted-the people
indulged the hope that by April Is, the
date named in the act, the whole garbage
collecting and destroying machinery would
be in operation, and that all annoyances
with which the people have been afflicted
IN the past would cease forever more.
No doubt the Commissioners are trying
to make the very best terms and secure the
most efficient service, and what has been
SAID here is not said in censure or fault
finding, but rather as a suggestion that it
is high time to hurry the matter.

The map is a compilation of thirty eight
plates prepared for record, which have
been officially approved by the Commission
crs, and forwarded, with their indorse-
ment and certification, to the commission
composed OF Secretary of War Lamont, Sec
retary of the Interior Smith and Chief OF
Engineers Casey.
SO far as the District authorities are
concerned, the work on this section is COM
pleted. The territory embraced in the map
is all that suburban section lying between
Florida avenue and Rock Greek in the north
west and North Capitol street, and includes
many of the more important subdivisions
OF the District.
When passed upon by the commission and
such changes made, if any as may be sug-
gested by the members, the thirty eight
plates will be entered OF record with TIE
surveyor OF the District.
No subdivision within the lines shown by
the map shall be thereafter admitted TO
record except upon the approval or the
Commissioners. and shall be in conformity
with the adopted plan.
Accompanying the plates is certificate, !,
addressed to the commission and signed 10y

THE NICARAGUA AFFAIR.

Quite a number of well meaning people
and jngoistic newspapers are going
into mysteries because Great Britain is
about to make Nicaragua pay an indemnity
for expeIling the British consul at Blue
fields. II Nicaragua does not pay up
Great Britain VIII take possession OF
Corinto, the principal port, and collect
the customs untll The amount Of the in
demnlty is paid up. Meanwhile all the
aforesaid people and newspapers are froth-
ing at the mouth, so 10 speak, because the
United States does not Immediately, wi
et armls," uphold the Monroe doctrine
and proceed to swagger and bully.
The Monroe doctrine has nothing in the
world 10 do with the matter; neither has
the United states. Great Britain is about
to collect debt. she does not propose, In
this particular instance, at least, perma-
nent occupation OF territory. 1t was
against such that President Monroe full
minated the edict which has done service
as scarecrow upon several occasions, and
with which il is low sought TO "conjure''
John Bull. 1t is wen enough, perhaps,
for the United States to seek to mitigate
the severity OF England's demands upon
Nicaragua, but beyond this II has neither
right nor occasion TO go.
The fact Is, that all the Central and South
American republics are inclined TO regard
the great republic OF the north as a bulwark
behind which they can make grimaces and
be saucy in their intercourse with Euro
pean powers. They seem to regard the
Monroe doctrine as a sort of license TO
them to cut up capers of all sorts for

It's just as well, perhaps, that they should
be taught differently.
