Capt. Beach of the District engineer de-
the James Creek canal that is worthy of
serious and favorable consideration by
Congress. This source of pestilence should
not be allowed to endanger the lives of
the citizens Of Washington any longer than
the time that must elapse between the
meeting Of Congress and the completion of
some such system Of intersecting sewers
as that which Capt. Beach suggests. The
details of the plan. printed elsewhere in
The Star today. show that this officer has
made careful study of the situation and
has adapted the remedy to the peculiar
nature Of the ground drained by the sew
ers that flow into the canal. 1t is a great
undertaking that he proposes. but 1t is
far from being an experiment and will un-
questionably be well worth the expendi-
ture and will prove a benefit to the Dis
There is no way to estimate the loss of life
due to the influence Of this open sewer that
pollutes the atmosphere of the entire
southern section Of the city. Modern en-
gineering Is surely capable Of coping with
such an emergency. The difficulty has
never been the lack of adequate means of
relief, but total want Of appreciation by
the legislators of the vital Importance OF
speedily and effectively providing a system
Of drainage that will prevent such accumu-
lations of filth as are daily found in the
sluggish current that flows into tho East
ern Branch from this canal-sewer.

Preparing for Charitable Work

This Is unquestonably the best time for
starting the years work of providing the
means of caring for the poor Of the city
during the stress of winter. It Is a sad
mistake to wait until the pressure of pow
erty is already on the community, and
those interested in charitable efforts have
in past years realized this fact. The board
of trade last winter did good deal toward
organizing the charitable agencies Of the
city. which had been somewhat scattered
and hence inharmonious. and 1t is well
that steps have been taken by that insti-
tuition now for the winters work There is
no better means of centralizing and sys-
tematizing the relief of the poor than the
board of trade, with its great variety of
interests, its powerful membership and its
facilities for gathering and digesting the
statistical information from other cities
that is of great value in such an effort. 1t Is
to be hoped that suc1 meetings as that of
Tuesday will follow throughout the sea-
son Of preparation. and that words of ad-
vice may be heard from other cities than
Baltimore, where good work among the
Poor has been done.

owners of property. In the case Of a
steam railroad, which was at issue in the
Wisconsin suit, the situation is different. as
there Is nothing in the character Fof the
steam road that can possibly benefit the
city territory through which it passes.
Every year of such occupation detracts
from the value Of the street to the COM
munity at large. If the taxpayers should
engage in an enterprise to reduce the evils
thus caused and to equip the street with
better facilities for traffic, the railroad
should be held for a part of the cost on the
ground that 1t was primarily the cause OF
the necessity for such improvements. There
is nothing at hand at present to indicate
the effect of this decision, as it is not Ger
tain whether the court was of inferior or
superior Jurisdiction. Washingtonians, how
ever, will certainly hope that such a princi-
pie of law will never be allowed to find
lodgment in local courts. The streets in
Washington that are occupied by railroads
are at present too thoroughly abandoned to
the corporations to be worth much in the
way Of repairing or improvement, so that
the question may never arise here in just
the form presented to the Wisconsin court.

Obsolete Warfare.

The old-time methods of warfare often
excite the scorn of the present genera ton.
The Chinaman with his masks, his gongs
and his bombardments of evil smells has
become more than ever an object of deris:on
since his collision with the quiet, business
like japanese warrior. The preliminary
epithets were as profuse as in a yard
full of belligerent school boys, but they
counted for nothing. In the political cam
paign in New York (and, in fact, the mani
festations are not strictly indigenous to
Gotham) these old ideas Of combat prevail
to great degree. despite our boasts of oc-
cidental superiority. There is serious bus
mess to be done at the polls. But the solid
shot Of common-sense argument Is handled
in a manner which is almost nstless COM
pared with the diligence displayed in de-
vising hideous effigies and uncanny noises
Strange words are set afloat upon the at
mosphere-words which are more terrible
beca use of the mysterious horror Of what
they might mean than Of what they do
mean. Libels on the human race are pic
tured with the names of the foe scrawled
under them, In much the same spirit as
that Of the schoolboy who blazons on che
blackboard his sentiments toward the
teacher. In the current campaign the gongs
are being sounded; the fiery dragons and
devil-chasers are a-splutter; the maiodorous
incense of personal abuse Is being launched
in the breeze regardless of the fact that in
the present stage Of civilization these things
are the merest vanity. They deceive no
body except their perpetrators. The effect
i've work is done by the candid declaration
Of what some honest man thinks is right

The executive committee Of the National
Republican League made a mistake yes
terday in deciding to give Washington the
-go-by in the choice of headquarters. 1t
was confidently expected that Chicago. the
present home of the league, and a stubborn
candidate for continued preferment, would
be beaten by the national capital, as the
general officers of the organization had
declared In favor Of this city. But on a
vote Chicago was chosen by a large ma
jority and the headquarters will remain
away from here for a little longer. Event
ually the managers Of this and every other
similar organization will come to realize
that political centralty is far more de-
sirable in such direction than geographi-
cal position. and to this city will undoubt-
edly come the chief offices of a great ma
jority of national organizations.

An interview in yesterdays Star with DR..
c. G. Stone threw q good deal of light upon
the cause Of the prevalence of typhoid fever
in this vicinity. Tfis has been an excep-
tionally dry season and the Potomac river
and the springs and wells in the District
have fallen to stage that endangers the
purity of the water, but this result of the
drouth Is felt all over the country. The
health returns from all quarters show that
there has been a marked increase In the
prevalence of this disease 1n all regions
where the drouth has been excessive, and
during the last few days information has
come from Pittsburg stating that the Ohio
river and it's sources. the Monongahela and
the Allegheny. are so low that the drinking
water of not only Pittsburg but Of all the
other cities on those water courses has be-
come laden with disease. To quote from one
dispatch: "The reports from Kentucky de-
scribe awful sufferings for lack Of water.
Typhoid fever is prevalent everywhere and
the landscape without funeral procession
In view Is rare" Such condition of
course does not exist here nor can it ever
exist In the case of a community dependent
upon such a noble river as the Potomac for
its source of supply. The Ohio is notably
a shallow stream and is subject to period
prosperity well as the health of the
country through which 1t passes. Pools Of
stagnant water thus form in which the
natural drainage of the soil, with all its
elements of disease, gradually accumulates,
and the marvel is that there is not more
fever than really exists. At Washington
the problem of prevention Is comparatively
simple. There is no lack Of supply; al
though the river Is at a low stage, there
is no fear that 1t will fall to such a
point that actually polluted water will find
its way into the citys pipes. Still there is
enough danger of pollution from upstream
sources to warrant a thorough investigation
of the entire watershed through which the
water flows by committee of experts, to
whom Congress should give means and
authority that will enable them to deter
mine with exactness the degree of possible
infection. DIR. Stones observations about
cases Of the disease traced directly to the
use Of polluted water from springs and
wells as we'll as rivers show that the situa-
ton in this vicinity, and especially In the
cause every householder to have every
particle Of water and of milk consumed
by the family boiled before using
This simple precaution is almost wholly
sufficient to prevent the disease, and to
neglect 1t is an act of folly In the mean
time the use of water from the old wells
of the city should be entirely abandoned.

Railroads and Street Improvements.
A Wisconsin court has decided that rail-
road tracks are not benefited by street i'm
prOvements and are therefore not subject
to assessment for such improvement. The
converse of that proposition is of great in
terest to Washingtonians. Is the railroad
whose tracks occupy tine public streets
liable for the depreciation of property
caused by the existence of those tracks in
the thoroughfares whose legitimate use Is
thus impeded? 1t may be strictly true in law
that the railroads should not be taxed to
pay for improvements Of streets. But In the
case of the lexington road in its occupancy
of g street, The Star has urged that tie
corporation, having increased the value of
the street for business purposes and having
attracted to 1t an increase of traffic that
Hedounded to its own benefit, should bear
its share Of the burden of expense involved
when the street was wideaed. an improve
