A THIRD TERM TICKLER.

Again the report is being circulated that
President Cleveland is about to adopt
measures looking toward tue recognition
of the Cubans, and again the report will
prove groundless unless, perhaps, the
President can see political adranta ge
in doing SO. There is about as much
sentiment in Mr.. Cleveland as there is
poetry in a goose, and people who think
he will write glowing tribute to the
valor of the struggling patriots in his
coming MESA &c may better make up their
minds to read string of platitudes on my
administration"
But that does not lessen the necessity
of Cuban recognition by Congress. Late
cablegrams indicate that the Cubans are
rapidly gaining ground, and that the
Spanish army is everywhere on the defen-
sive. The earnest plea of General Cam
pos to the Spanish ministry that the Cubans
be granted an independent form of gov.
ernment is n confession OF Spanish weak.
Ness, and it should be accepted as evidence
that this government can lose nothing
by recognizing the Cubans as belligerents.
Should President Cleveland insert a third
term ticker in his message by recon-
mending Congress to recognize the Cubans,
so much the better for him, but Congress
should promptly on this question whether
he does OF not.
The morning times., 1895-11-12
POWERFUL ARGUMENT.

The South Washington Citizens Asso-
citation has just been reinforced by an
lad captandum" argument in its endeavor
10 have the James Creek canal converted
into a closed sewer. Another life has
been lost All the commercial possibilities
which Major Powell sees in the old death
trap do not weigh with feathers weight
in the bala nee as against this one fact.
If a record had been kept OF the number
OF unfortunates OF both sexes who have
found death in the Shiny depths of the
James Creek canal what an arraignment
IL would be against the authorities past
and present, that have permitted it to
exist, year after year. without the least
attempt even 10 guard against accident.
Even IL there were no other cause for COM
plant save these periodically recurring
fatalities, action to prevent them should
long since have been taken. But there
is the question of health and of comfort.
These are jeopardized all the time. for the
canal is little else than reservoir for
the Outpourings of two large sewers, and
il is not even emptied OF their contents.
For these have barely reached the mouth
of The canal before the regurgitation OF
the tides rolls them back and they become
part and parcel of the mess OF mud and
slime and filth which poisons the atmos-
phcre, endangcrs the health OF the people
in that neighborhood. makes residence
there a punishment, and depreciaies The
value OF property.
How long will il be before the Commits
sioners will undertake to convince Con-
grcss OF the enormity of the offense of
leaving James Creek canal in the Con-
dition in which II has been for so long
a time? How many more human lives
must be sacrificed? As heretofore pointed
out by The Times, the history of James
Greek canal is but duplication OF that
old Tiber Creek. That, too, had its dark
record of suicides and accidental deaths
and dissemination OF disease over con-
Siderable part of the city. Since ii has
become an arched sewer nd a wide street
has been made over il, it subserves a use
ful purpose and is not an offcnse in the
DOstrils of the people. Do the same with
James Creek canal.
