A lesson may be drawn from the unfor-
city cf Stamford, Connecticut, which is
just now being scourSed by an epidemic of
typhoid fever 1t was noted that major
ity of the five hundred people who have
fallen Ill with the disease have shown the
first symptoms Of the fever soon after
drinking milk, and it has now been ascer-
tanned that the infected milk came from
one source. All investigation of the prem
ises of the dairyman supplying it has
shown that there was there a well terribly
polluted with sewage and quite alive with
the typhoid fever germs. The presumption,
which the dairyman naturally denies, is
that he has used the water of this well to
dilute his milk. In some cases the disease
has been communicated in a most remote
manner, one instance having been found
where the patient received the bacclii into
his system from milk used in coffee. 1t is
a well known scientific fact that milk alb
serbs and holds deleterious substances
most tenaciously and that it is one of the
re2dest of known agents for the transmits
sion Of disease. Hence the greatest of care
is absolutely necessary to prevent infection
by this medium, and there is urgent need for
the most careful and systematic inspection
of dairies and dairy farms by the health
officers of every large community, includ-
ing Washington.

A curious complication has just arisen
in the case of ex-Poiice Inspector McLaugh-
lin of New York, who was recently con-
vict-d of eXtortion, which is not the least
curious phase of this very remarkable case
McLaugln's friends are now endeavoring
to secure for him sentence that will con-
fine him In the penitentiary at Blackwell's s
Island rather than at Sing Sing where
they state. there are Eow several hundred
prisoners who owe their present incarcera-
tion there to Inspector Mclaughlin him
self and who. according to his lawyers,
have openly declared their intention to
mob him If he should join them as a fell
low prisoner. In view of this danger it
would perhaps be a good scheme to convict
a dozen so of the policemen who are now
under indictment in New York for offenses
quite serious as that of which McLaugh-
lin was fourd guilty and send them up to
Sing Sing with the ex-irspector as a sort
of body guard. Unless the relief asked by
McLaughlins attorneys is granted there
are apt to be some very interesting epi-
sodes in this historic prison. But it would
be a sad commentary on the government
of the institution If the ex-inspector's peace
and comfort during his involuntary re-
tirement from active life should be seriously
interfered with by his new associates

The Post, acting up to the peculiar
standard of journalism that it has made its
own, believes that it is proper thing to let
those who would sully the fair fame of the
city and debauch it's youth, have matters
all their own way because forsooth, people
might think badly of us if we insisted on
a proper enforcement of the laws that we
were eager to have established for our pro-
lection. The STAR like the Times, is of the
contrary opinion; but, unlike the Times it
was somewhat late in demon ira ting it
with vigor."-The Washington Times.
The Star has demonstrated this opinion
with vigor for more than forty years, and
before the Times was born it not only at
tackled the gamblers of all sorts who in
variaoly accompany and infest alI-the-year
race tracks but aided materially in ejectins
this gentry from the District of Columbia.
The supplementary campaign against the
race-trhck gambling evil in it's strongholds
in Alexandria county. begun by The Star
In pursuance of its previous plan of opera
tions. has not yet successfully termina ted
and there are no honors of victory to be di-
vided at present in the warfare in which as
a fresh recruit the Times, honoring The
Star by the sincere f1attery of imitation.
has recently participated.

Ii was most unfortunate that the Sunday
outing of many of the people who yesterday
went TO Fort Washington to see the soldier
boys in camp should have been spoiled by
the great crowding of the boats that marked
the return trip. A large majority of those
who went down on the many trips of the
fleet during the day desired to stay to see
the dress parade at six o'clock. probably
without considering that this meant
rush from the encampment a short time
depended upon the managers of the boats
to take this fact into consideration and
seem to have placed implicit faith in the
ability of the transportation companies to
get them all away safely and in good sea-
sen. 1t is fortunate that there was no
serious calamity to mark the last few
hours of the day. when it appears the
wharf was packed with nervous people
eager to get back TO their homes. A panic
seems to have been narrowly averted by
the Intervention of the mlitiamen But
there was probably no necessity at ali
for any trouble whatever at the fort as
the companies must have known exactly
how many people went down the river to
that point and had therefore no excuse for
not providing for the return of a similar
number. The distance between the city
and the fort is so short that there is little
excuse for this biunder as there are steam
ers enough on the river to have carried all
of the people away from the camp without
any discomfort or danger. As 1t was, it is
to be feared that some of the boats were
loaded beyond the point of safety on the
return trips.

1t may be that Judge Cooper of Kentucky
has at last found solution of that vexa-
ticus problem OF how to discourage lynch
ing. When a large mob of angry men
gathered at the Jail at Mt Sterling with
the avowed intention of putting an end
to a murderer whose victim had Just died,
Judge Cooper prevailed upon them to desst
from their lawless purpose and succeeded
in restoring peace by issuing an Immediate
order to hold q special term of court a
week from next Friday to try the prisoner
Perhaps Judge Cooper has struck at the
root of the evil. 1t has often been sug-
gested by those who have studied this
problem that one Of the main causes of the
feeling that leads men to organize lynch
Evening star., 1895-06-17

ing mobs and other men to join them is the
fear that through some delay In the law
adequate punishment will not be meted out
to the offender in time to make the execu-
ticn OF the extreme penalty a sufficient
lesson to other possible law breakers. Of
course much of the motive that inspires a
lyr ching is attributable directly to the
nerce rage and resentment that spring up
In mems minds when their near friends or
relatives are injured. especially by brute
force, and doubtless most of the lynching
that has been done in this country has
teen occasioned by this swift, unthinking
desire Tor vengeance. At the same time
the Mt Sterling episode shows that the
promise of a speedy trial may some times
effect change of purpose in the men who
gather to take the law into their own
hands and it would perhaps be we'll if law
makers throughout the country, and espe-
cially in those sections that are most fire.
quently the scene of lynchings, should take
need from this incident and amend the
statutes of their states to provide for the
speedy trial of prisoners charged with mur-
der and similarly serious crimes. Whatever
may be the proper func ction of capital pun
ishment whether as a mode of legal re-
vense or as frightful example to warn
others, 1t is to be feared that it often loses
its value by long-deferred execution just
as the law loses it's force with every as
sault made upon it in the form Of lynching.
At the same time the trial should not take
place SO soon after the crime that fair
judgment is made impossible. There is a
grave danger in too speedy work in such
cases and the happy med.Im between pre-
mature trials and demoraliZing delays must
therefore be the goal of legislators who
seek to remedy this grave evil
Evening star., 1895-06-17

No more sensible order could be issued
by the Commissioners than that which has
Just been promulgated providing a sort of
probationary term for all appointees to
positions under the District Government
As is stated elsewhere in The Star today
the Comnissirr ers are at all times subject
to great political and personal pressure to
make certain appointments, regardless OF
the exigencies of the public service, or the
fitness of the individual applicant. This
has always feen one of the weakest points
in the entire local system of government
and Is also one of the chief reasons why
the principles of true civil service reform
should be at once applied to the municipal
offices. If the Commissioners can sustain
this order absolutely and weed out of their
places men who have been appointed, if
they show themselves Incompetent, they
will greatly benefit the service. 1t is to be
expected that the average Congressman
will object to this summary treatment of
his protege but if he be man of good
sense he can rot but see that his ap-
pointee has been treated with more con-
s!deration than the average business man
would show for any chance applicant who
might thrust his claims for position upon
his attention. The excellent workings of
the probationary order have already been
given thorough demonstration here in
the Fire Department where Chief Paris
refuses to make appointments except after
the men have served six months on trial.
That length of time is amply sufficient to
develop the good or the bad there is in
man. and if one can not adjus: himself to
new duties in that period he may be set
down as unworthy of considerable for he
must lack some element of cleverness
without which he could never be an eff
cient employe. In the absence of local ap-
plication OF the civil service law the proba-
tionary term is the next best thing, and
should soon be followed by the real article.
