Piece-Meal Work is Costly.

Every penny of the money asked by the
District Commissioners for the sewer ex-
tension plans should be granted unhesitat-
ingly by Congress. There is no more i'm
ptrtant scheme of local government now
projected, and in view OF the recent out
break of typhoid fever here it would be an
act of unpardcnable negligence on the part
OF these In charge of the appropriations to
attempt to economize in such direction.
Piece-meal work in matters Of this sort is
especially dangerous, and there Is always a
Feasibility whenever the District asks for
It's revenues that such work will be forced
upon it, A liberal appropriation for sewers
a. this time will be economical when COM
pared with portions doled out from session
TO session. The work cannot be done nearly
so well and SO cheaply when spread over a
period of several years as when contracted
for and performed all at once The diff
hculty with curtailment of the budget Is
that there is no choice between the pro-
Jects All are really essential. The inter-
ceFtirS sewer that Is to relieve the James
Creek Canal Is vitally important, but so Is
the Rock Creek sewer and that which is to
drain the lexington valley and the one
that is to carry off the Brookland sewage.
Ally attempt to curtail the list Is blow at
the efficiency of the whole plan.

This Years Elections.

Less than two weeks hence elections will
occur in fifteen of the states. For an off
year, the situation Is unusually important,
as in many instances the effects of the bal
loting will be felt directly in the forth
coming presidential campaign. In five of
the states the elec items of this year will
have an immediate bearing upon the COM
position of the United States Senate. and in
Others the ballots cast will probably show
a drift of opinion. one way or another,
that may settle strengthen the chances
of certain aspirants to the presidency
Legs atures will be elected in Ohio, Iowa.
Kentucky and Maryland that will have
the choosing of members of. the upper
house of the national Congress, to sit in
March, 1891, while in Utah the legislature
elected this year will choose two Senators
to sit at once. In New York the state SEN
ate elected this year will participate in the
election of successor to Senator Hill,
which occurs a year hence. together with
Evening star., 1895-10-25

an entire assembly to be chosen in 1896.
The most interesting campaign of all is in
Kentucky. where the position of governor.
as well as that of Senator. is in the bal
aLce. This state Is commonly classed as
surely democratic, and as a part Of the solid
south. but certain prophets now believe
that 1t Is about to slip into the republican
column on this election. The fight In
Maryland Is also close and interesting for
much the same reason. The domination of
Senator German as the one In control OF
the state machine is at issue. and those
who look ahead of the present situation
declare that this election may determine
the future place of Maryland In the cleo
toral college in presidential years. The
New York election is of some interest, ow-
ing to the fight in the city against re-
turn of Tammany to power, while the
state campaign, 1t is declared. may have a
bearing upon the position to be assumed
by the friends of Gov. Morton in the ma
tional fight. Iowa chooses a successor to
Senator Allison by the legislature elected
this year, but little concern Is felt In this
campaign, as the result can scarcely be
said to be in doubt. Governors are elected
in Iowa. Ohio. Kentucky. Maryland. Massa-
cbusetts, Mississippi, New Jersey and Utah.
In these and other states minor state off,
cials are in nomination. Taken altogether

An Unworthy Diplomatic Omcer.

The American vice-consul at Georgetown,
British Guiana. has come to Washington on
his way back to bis post He says many
things while tarrying. One, at least, Is
sensible. being to the effect that he will
resign soon after his return. The other
statements tend to prove the wisdom Of
that one. He criticzes the attitude of the
administration in the Venezuelan dispute
and castigates the citizens Of Crespo's
republic for their "aggressions." He de-
clares that the British claims are good and
Just and he paints a portrait of John Bull
as badly abused parsonage He then
calls attention to the fact that two Ameri-
cans were injured In the recent raid Of the
Venezuelan police into the disputed terri
tory and he implicitly criticizes the State
Department for it's laxity in not demanding
indemnity along with England for this
outrage. He assails the Monroe doctrine
and questions its utility, its~justice and It's
applicability in the present case. He says
that the South American rations are so
weak that the United States will be kept
in hot water continually forgetting that
the Monroe doctrine was pronounced par
ticularly for the purpose of preventing
these weaklings from being swallowed by
the European powers. All this and much
more to the same un-American effect from
DR.. Spaight, the vice-consul Of the United
States at Georgetown. He admits that he
has served for twenty years in British ter
ritory. spending his vacations in Europe
and thus gives evidence that he has COM
pletely lost all sympathy with his own
country. His utterances are sufficient, in
the Judgment Of many people. to warrant
his instant dismissal by the President, or at
least summary rebuke by the Secretary
OF State, whose conduct in the case has
been entirely satisfactory to all Americans
1t would seem. except the vice-consul at
Georgetown. If he Is going to resign any,
now 1t might be a stroke of economy to
avoid paying his passage back to his
former post
