Don't Stop With Christmas.

1t is commeBdable and beautiful 10 look
after the needy upon those holidays which
most appeal TO the quality OF charity in
the human heart, which are Thanksgiv-
ing and Christmas most conspicuously. 1t
is acceptable to the hungry to get even
one or two square meals year rather
than none. But the very fact that atten-
ton is especially called TO the necessities
of the unfortunate at these times argues
the existence of a constant and immeasura-
bic need.
Nobody knows better than the charitable
that charity avails very little in the great
world of dependency. 1t is at best both
spasmodc and sporadic. Many are remem-
bered at Thanksgiving only to starve until
Christmas, and at Christmas only TO starve
until Thanksgiving. All this is, of course,
unavoidable SO long as charity only is de-
pended upon as means of relief.

deals a powerful blow at those companies
which have watered their stock, and in other
ways piled up apparent ia pitalinvested, that
they may maintain high fares, and asserts
that such roads should be promptly taken
in hand by the people, at a fair valuation,
and operated for the peoples benefit. He
estimates that the cost of operating has
been reduced more than so per cent since
the horse cars were abolished, and that
this, with the increased traffic resulting
from low fares, must inevitably soon result
IN a universal reduction.
This brief statement OF what has been e.
complishcd at the capital of Michigan Is
fcryently commended for the consideration
OF those officials who suggest legislation
for the National Capital, and to District
committees OF Congress which formulate
such legislation for Introduction to the
House and Senate. There is not a shadow
of reason why the District should not have
cheap street car fares, any more than there
is that it should not have ga at ninety cents
or one dollar per thousand feet.

How the Wind Blows.

most cities grow toward the west, the to-
Biography being at all favorable, for the
reason that the western are the prevailing
winds, and therefore carry smoke and
odors from Duisances in general toward the
east. This fact can hardly be disputed, and
it furnishes a very suggestive argument to
every citizen who lives eastward from any
nuisance.
All of these questions aside, however the
proper place for the deposit and consump-
ton of refuse and garbage is outside of
the city and in a locality where it will
least annoy or not be offensive at all. This
The Times has constantly maintained, and
1t must be the final solution Of the whole
matter.
Chicago has recovered from her discorn-
future over losing the national Republican
convention. John L. Sullivan has nm.
nounced his intention of making the Windy
City his future home.
The evening times. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1895-1902, 1895-12-24

One Of the unfortunate phases of the
trouble over the location Of garbage
crematory is that the temper OF citizens
is not fully discovered until steps are
taken by the District authorities which
cannot be retraced without loss. But it is
far better to endure a temporary loss than
a perman ent nuisance, in relation to any
part of the city, and even il the proposed
crematory were already erected on Rock
Creek, citizens aggrieved would have
perfect right to prompt remedy.
One of the arguments brought against the
location of this offensive esta blisiment on
Rock Creek, advanced by an esteemed con-
tributor, may seem odd at first glance, but
it is really very substantial. 1t is that
As a rainbow chaser it is not difficult

EX-iOV. JAMES f. CAMPBELL did not
~ make a long stay here. coming on u late
train Monday night and lea wing yesterday
afternoon. Scores OF prominent men called
at the Ebbitt last evening. thinking that
they would surely meet the distinguished
Ohioan.
The fact is, as Mr.. Campbell told the few
callers whom he consented to receive while
here, he was not here on political ezra nd
or TO talk politics, but simply for the pur-
pose of transacting some private business
And SO. before his friends knew il. he had
packed Off TO Ohio. He came to Washing

leading officer in the corporation in which

1t must seem to the most casual OBJ

AT first thought the colonization of those
who are unable to find the opportunity to
labor upon agricultural lands, under earnest
and intelligent direction. offers the readiest
solution. thousand other suggestions In
orude in this connection, involving tie en-
tire structure OF the social system. Simple
economy, however, should suggest that to
furnish opportunity for men and women TO
earn their own living is vastly cheaper
than TO attempt to alleviate distress by
charita BILE contributions.
