The sensible and vigorous action taken
yesterday by the Supervising Architect of
the Treasury in reference to the pending
contract for iron work on the Washington
post-oftice building may not result in a
complete verif1cation of the official date
line which. through some excess Of Jealous
enterprise. has been prematurely let into
the front wall of that structure. But 1t
shows that the present occupant of that
important Office is alive to the emergency
that confronts him. Being q newcomer he
is doubtless shocked by the d;latory way
IN which government contractors attend
to their undertakings. Such action as this
taken on some OF the earlier sections of the
local work might have caused 1t to be in a
much more advanced stage than 1t is today
Especially would such a remedy have been
appropriate as against the contractors who
undertook to erect the iron-work from the
first story to the sixth. whose long delay,
aSgregating many weeks, has had much to
do with the present backward state of the
project.

The good people who live at Del Ray, Va,
are now tempted to quote scripture to their
neighbors Of Alexandria, and say: And
why beholdest thou the mote that Is in thy
brothers eye. but considerest not the beam
that is in thine own eye" And it Is the
great garbage question again. Alexandria
justly complained that the garbage an
chored on scows in the river on the way
from Washington was a serious menace to
the health of her citizens. At the same
time that her stalwart sons were sinking
these scows. 1t now appears some of her
servants were daily engaged in hauling her
own garbage over to Del Ray and there
dumping it in a pit by the almshouse. Del
Ray has now threatened to fight the VIC
tors of the last great garbage war; on the
ground that Alexandria herself Is commit
ting nuisance upon her suburban neigh
bcrs even worse than the accidental per-
Tuning of the air by the Washington offal.
1t all goes to show that reform begins very
close to the domestic door-sill. and that the
only safe way to handle tie garbage prob
lem Is to be progressively modern. The
most interesting question now Is what Del
Ray does with its garbage. Maybe there Is
diminishing ratio of garbage nuisances
around the National Capital. ell caused by
a lack OF forethought and CT wise modern
methods of garbage disposal. Let US all
reform simultaneously.

That the overhead trolley is passing from
the field of favor is eyiderced by the fol-
lowing paragraph in a recent issue of the
Street Railway Gazette" which is rea-
sonabiy supposed to reflect the latest and
matter; pertaining to municipal transpor-
tation:
Richmond holds an honorable place in
the street railway world the city in
which the commercial success of the mod
ern electric railway was first effectively
demonstrated. The latest news from that
city is to the effect that it is to have an
electric line worked by underground con-
ductors within the next few mouths; but

lieve, to grasp this second honor in the

That these three cities should be now

An organization to lend money at legal
rates to the worthy destitute on shaky
security or no security at all would be an
effective partial remedy of the usury evil
and Is to be highly commended from the
philanthropic standpoint. To lend money
sto the needy and unemployed after thor
ough examination of Individual cases and
then to secure work for them through
which they may repay the loan Is the
method of charitable relief which saves
life without destroying self-respect or de-
moralizing in any way the recipient. II the
project Is viewed not as a charity. but as
business venture for money making pur-
poses. the verdict upon 1t is more doubtful.
The ten-per-cent-a-monthl lenders who prey
upon the desperately needy make their
loans on chattel security. without securing
possession of the chattel.. and in the case
OF loans to government clerks sometimes
on no security at all The legal rate Of in

But will money be Invested on such securi-

retaining 1t in his possession, may legally

GO right ahead with the plan and make
the affair one Of which not merely Balti-
more or the south. but the whole country
can properly be pround. Within a radius
of 200 miles. Baltimore has nearly 5000. 900
more people to draw from than Chicago
has. There were 2. 100000 paid admis-
sions to the Worlds Fair. so that 1t is not
unreasonable to imagine that, with 6,0OO. 900
more people within easy distance. Balti-
more will have at least 1900, 900 visitors
between May Is and November Is. 1897.
Surprising, however. that only two-thirds
Of that modest number paid at the gates,
there would nevertheless be direct profit
resulting from the enterprise, to say moth
ing Of the vast sum of money to be ex-
pended in the city for the subsistence and
comfort of the strangers from afar. Bal
timoreans are calculating upon a minimum
immigration Of 100000 people and an
average expediture of SO each. Washing
ton should be deeply concerned in the ex-
position for practical If for no other rea-
sons. A very large percentage OF those who
go to Baltimore to see the big show will
surely visit the national capital for the
purpose of enjoying the great permanent
exposition here. which Is so extremely at
tractive. 1t Is not pretended that Balti-
more hotels and boarding houses will be
able to accommodate the multitude which
Is expected to throng the exposition build
ings and grounds; vast overflow will
make its way to this city on fast trains
tfat will convey visitors to Washington
hotels quite as rapidly as those same visit
ors could be conveyed to downtown hotels
In Baltimore. From such an enterprise as
Baltimore is now doing its utmost to en-

and do what it can to make the great

the deposits, which are contributed by

respect to deposits, then, the people are
