fact that the crematOries-which, by the
way, are similar to those that are to be
erected in this city-are frequently over
worked. So long as the furnaces are not
required to do more than they are guaran-
teed to do. everything is well, but just as
soon as the amount of garbage collected
exceeds the capacity of the incincra ton
plants. then the trouble begins. The refuse
matter that finds its way into the crema-
tories is at times, according to the Ledger.
only partially destroyed, while hundreds
of tons of disease-breeding material are
dumped wherever the contractors men
can get rid OF it, principally upon truck
patches. These happenings were re-
ferred to as probabilities by The
Star when 1t was arguing for
the establishment of reduction process,
by means Of which local garbage could be
satisfactorily and probably disposed of.
When the conditions are such that there
is more money for the contractor in fail
ing to live up to the terms OF his contract
than there Is in carrying out its provisions,
then it is not at all surprising that the
garbage dispcsal-of SO much Importance
to a community-should be Sighted ut
every opportunity. Every ton Of garbage
that is burned means the expenditure by
the contractor of so much money for coal
or other fuel. With the reduction system
in operation the contractor would find
it to his advantage to squeeze the market
able products from every pound of garbage
he could possibly collect. The lesson to
be learned by the local authorities here
they having elected to adopt incineration-
is that there shall be a system OF inspec-
ton wholly devoid of weakness.

The anti-football decision of the faculty
Of Georgetown University will probably re-
awaken an old controversy as to the bru-
tally or otherwise of the game which
Georgetown students may no longer play.
Years ago football was not a dangerous
game and it is not necessarily so now. I'M
less it is played after the Rugby fashion.
Carefully compiled statistics have many
times been published, and they have in
variably shown that the percentage of
fatalities and serious injuries resulting
from participation in the Rugby game has
completely overtopped the percentages Of
damage wrought in all other forms of ath-
letic endeavor. This showing was not sur
prising, for of late years the players have
devoted themselves mainly to smuggling and
wrestling, rather than to clever manipula-
ton of the ball; hardly a game took place
anywhere that did not result in serious in
jury to one or more. and sometimes to
nearly all. of the players. The action of
the Georgetown faculty is. of course, due
to the death of George Bahen, who was in
jured in the game which took place last
Thanksgiving Day, and while it may not
completely put stop to football in the
District, It will operate powerfully to dis
courage the formation of amateur teams in
this vicinity One of the extraordinary
things in connection with football is the
fact that few players seem to have any
affection for the Association" game, which
has within it SO many more possibilities for
the display of real skill than have ever
existed in the Rugby variety. A number
of association games We're played in this
city last year by professionals, and on those
occasions there were revelations of agility
and headwork that were fully appreciated
by the spectators. The association game is
successful only when it is well played, and
there are no casualties; the Rugby game is
a complete failure unless somebody is hurt
The Georgetown faculty has done wisely
in forbidding Georgetown students to play
the Rugby game

Be Liberal ms to Estimates.

At this season of the year the District
Commissioners are accustomed to devote
much thought to the estimates of expenses
for the coming fiscal year which, after sub
mission to the Secretary of the Treasury.
are forwarded to Congress for legislative
action thereon. 1t is unfortunately true
that congressional committees have habit
ualy dealt with such estimates in a man
ner that can only be derominated unfair:
the figures have been treated just as
though they were exorbitant, and the per-
scral statements of the Commissioners
themselves have received much less of con-
sideration than they deserved. But the
pre- sent board of Commissioners should not
Permit adverse experiences In the past to
influence them in the composition of their
schedule of municipal needs. If the public
schools absolutely need the expenditure of
five hundred thousand dollars more than
the sum available last year. it is poor policy
in the long run to ask for fifty thousand
dollars because the Commissioners may
chance to believe that Congress would not
consent to appropriate more than the last
named sum. So also as to the police force.
to which a large addition in numbers is I'M
q,eStionably essential. If the necessities
point to an estimate for one hundred addi-
tioEal officers, let the Commissioners ask
for at least that number rather than say to
themselves and the community 1--WE will
ask only for twenty-five for Congress will
not give us more" By estimating with rea-
sonable and businesslike liberality as to
these and other important items of apro-
priation the Commissioners will shake from
their own shoulders a grave responsibility;
they will not be held blameworthy if Con-
gress fails to do its whole duty by the ma
tioI al capital. The city's growth is steady
and sure and the needs of its residents
daily increase. The Commissioners are, to
q considerable extent. the agents of Con-
gross and Congress must of necessity de-
pend upon them for information as to those
IL ir gs which contribute materially to the
city's welfare. There should, therefore. be
as little as possible of what may be termed
diplomacy in the dealing of the Commits
siorers with those who have the appropriate
ing power

1t is now certain that the Americas cup
will remain in the United States at least
until 1896. This is a pleasing fact, but
the circumstances which brought 1t into
existence are far from satisfactory, even
to those enthusiastic Americans who sin
cerely hoped that Valkyrie would not win
even one of the races for the worlds yacht
ing championship. The program called for
at least three contests between Vaikyrie
and Defender. Only one race has been
sailed yet, through a technicality and
something that resembles ill-temper on the
part of Lord Dunraven, the cup is assured
one more year of residence in New York.
No yachtsman desired to have the contest
settled in such fashion. and in the hope
that there would be square racing to a
decisive finish millions of Americans who
know nothing or next to nothing about
yachting had full share. Satisfied after
Saturdays victory that Defender had moth
ing to fear from Valkyrie and willing to
put aside the technical victory awarded
him by the racing committee, Mr. Isein
offered to wipe out Tuesdays proceedings
and sail the race over, but Lord Dunraven
declined the proffered opportunity to win
what might have proved to be victory
for 1.-The meteor flag of England" Yes
terday Valkyrie disappointed two nations
by declining to race. after going over the
line and giving Defender the title to the
cup. For this latter action. especially. Lord
Dunrayen is being criticised, but most of
the criticisms are based upon improper
premises. There was no interference on
the part Of excursion steamers or pilots
sufficient to have caused the withdrawal of
Valkyrie, but there had been communicate
ed to the racing committee Lord Dunrav-
ems ultimatum that unless the committee
would agree to declare void race in which
either of the contestants should at any
time suffer from the Entertainments of
non participants in the contests, he would
not sail Valkyrie. The committee refused
to make any such promise, and Lord Dun
raven withdrew. The conclusion Of the
aso-called contests cannot be otherwise than
annoying both to the English and Ameri-
can people, for it presages possible care
lessness as to the Americas cup on the
part of Great Britain for, perhaps, seasons
to come. In some respects Lord Dunraven
has been right, but by declining to resail
Tuesdays race and by his hasty action of
yesterday ne has ,detracted considerably
from his popularity and to some extent
from his reputation as sportsman. If he
takes Valkyrie home before other races can
be arranged he will disappoint a great
many Americans who have hitherto re-
garded him as yachting paragon.

The Importance of Garbage 1n.p.ct,o,

The Importance of Garbage inspection
By a i'd by there will be in operation in
this city locally new system of garbage
disposal. and 1t is hoped that with the in
coming of that system an end will be put
to the complaints that are now entirely too
common. That such a desirable condition
may not at once materialize is however,
a possibility. and we have before US Phila-
delphia's experience as testimony to show
that what seems to be as good an inciner-
alton method as can be found may, after
all. be easily rendered worthless. The
Philadelphia Ledger asks:
''What does Director Thompson intend
to do In the matter of garbage collection
and disposal? He krows beyond perad-
venture that the contractors are not in
GENERATING all the garbage they collect, as
required by their contracts; he knows that
the inspectors of the street cleaning bu-
reau have not failed to report the facts to
him, and he knows that Chief Martin of
that bureau has not been serving him low
ally, but has been acting as the apologist
of derelict contractors"
To this question no really satisfactory
answer has yet been vouchsafed There
is no complaint at all as to garbage COL
lection, the trouble has its origin in the
