No Exodus to Ltber,,

Dr. E. w. Blyden. Liberals minister to
England. has been giving some good advice
to those American negroes who are being
urged to migrate to Liberia. Occasionally
there Is agitation In behalf of great exo-
dus to the colony which American benevo-
lence established in Africa nearly four
score years ago. Dr. Blyden believes that
ultimately West Africa will be the home of
all civilized descendants of Ham, but he is
also satisfied that any considerable emigra-
ton would at this time be disastrous. He
places himself squarely on record to the
effect that all agitation for the movement
OF large masses of negroes to Africa is at
the present time unwise and premature.
Missionary effort is all right, and the emil
grafton of suitable individuals or small
colonies having in view the religious or
Industrial Improvement of Liberia should
Sc encouraged, but the great multitude of
american negroes should remain geograph-
ally where they are, and should do their

A writer in recent issue of the Popular
Health Magazine" seeks to show why
Baltimore is a healthy CITY," He devotes
ceveral pages of print to this interesting
demonstration, and then concludes with
most unfortunate paragraph, pointing out
the things that must be done in order to
make true the central desire of the essay.
The water supply must be protected against
pollution. The garbage and other offal of
the city must be disposed of scientifically.
The privy-vault system must be dispensed
nearly twelve hundred cows within the city
limits must be removed beyond the range
of frequent habitation. The many slaugh-
ter-houses in town must be abolished.
There must be established plan of secur-
ing accurate vital statistics. Public baths
will have tC be instituted. A diSinfecting
plant is required, together with a city hos
eases. In fact, the list is quite as long as
might be expected from a dirty, unwhole-
some city. Little is left to the imagination
after such a plea for better conditions, and
the grim humor of the case is strong and
undeniable. in view Of the vain and inno-
cent title Of the paper. why Baltimore is
Not Healthy City" would seem to be more
appropriate for caption, after one has
read the concluding paragraph. Washing
ton eeds some of these things; indeed,
many Of them are absolutely essential be-
fore it can claim to be a fully equipped
sanitarium.

Elevate OF Depre.. the Tracks.

Nothing more than the expected hap
pened when, yesterday afternoon, collision
took place between a locomotive. horse
and wagon. and a cable grip-car at Seventh
street and Virginia avenue Fortunately,
the only life sacrificed was that of the
horse, but human beings were seriously in
jurcd and others who escaped physical suf-
fering had their nervous systems severely
shocked. OF late years the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company has apparently done its
best to render its grade crossings within
this city as harmless as fences and safety
gates and watchmen could make them, but
in spite of all the precautions the odds are
largely in favor of such happenings as that
which is a PORT of yesterdays local his
tory. Careful investigation into the details
of the occurrence shows conclus.yely the
innocence of the gate-keeper and of those
who We're responsible respectively for the
cable-car and horse and wagon-perhaps
the engine bell was not being rung, and, if
that was so, then the engineer and fireman
must bear some of the burden-and the
guilt of those officials who are responsible
for the storing of cars on Virginia avenue
1t is clearly Illegal to occupy the tracks
on any road which is intersected by thor
oughfares within the city with long-stanG-
ing cars. but neither the law nor the equity
seems TO receive the consideration which
they deserve. Yesterdays collision was
due to the fact that long lines of cars rem
dered it impossible for the gateman to see
the approaching engine; therefore the
safety-gates remained up and the collision
took place. The thing for the District au-
thorities to do now is to take such action as
Will make it practically impossible for the
railroad company to store it's cars on Vir-
sin.a avenue outside of the yards which
a liberal Congress presented to the COM
pany. More than that cannot unfortunate
ly, be done at this time. When Congress
comes. then Washingtonians should be a
unit in demanding the elevation or depres-
sion of all railroad tracks within the limits
of the national capital. Public safety and
grade-crossings are Incompatible

Purify the Sewer Outlets.

In no field can the efforts of the Wash
ington board of trade result more profitaoly
than in that broad area which includes with
in its opportunities the publication of the
city's sewer o;s-lets. Direct and influential
is the bearing of the health of the communr
ity upon its commercial prosperity; vital
statistics have much to do with the ebb
or flow of capital seeking investment. There
Is too much typhoid fever prevalent here
just al present, and it will never do for the
capital to get again the reputation of being
a malarial city. 1t was once known as such,
when the pestilential atmosphere of the
Potomac flats swept over the western and
southern sections and poisoned many a
home. Now that the flats are filled and the
rise and fall of the tide do not create such
dangerous conditions as before, there is
no good reason why Washington should not
be made perfectly hygienic. The Eastern
Branch. to be sure, is still somewhat of
menace, but not so much so as the lowlands
at the confluence of the two rivers used to
be. inasmuch as the prevailing winds are
from the west. While Congress is being
persuaded that the branch should be treated
In a modern way Ii Washington is to remain
a modern city, it will be well for every in
fiuence in town to be directed at the prob

board of trade is able to accomplish much
in this direction by keeping the subject
well before the people, and thus enlisting
the interest and aid of all citizens, whether
they are members of that useful organiza-
ton not. The board of trade occupies
more and more the position OF common
council to the city and District. Its power
Is personal rather than legislative, and it
will grow in influence as it grows in size,
and thus embrace more and more completely

The season opened auspiciously with the i'm

The New Orleans Picayune, in discussing
the subject of the dress reform movement
now in progress among the women, has
declared that the rext step would be the
substitution of the pages dress of medieval
times for the boomers now so much in
evidence. This remark is made doubly in
teresting by the fact that the Picayune is
owned and practically directed by wo-
man, and a most worthy member of the
journalistic family of America. Can it be
possible that the editor of the Picayune
will shortly give practical demonstration
of her creed by appearing publicly clad
