Strong Word for The Times"


The attention of our readers, organized
labor especially, is called to the Importance
of taking greater interest in the only daily
newspaper published in the city that has the
honesty and independence to come out
squarely on the side of justice, in the unequal
and unjust contest that labor is engaged in.
This importance cannot be too keenly real
lied when the past experience of organized
labor with newspapers is considered
Appeals and even offers TO pay advertising
rates for fair statement of facts to appear
have been often scornfully rejected. Again.
organized la5or should never forget the un-
fair treatment it received when those papers
did condescend to publish our statements,
how they were condensed and bntehered so
as TO make our side appear ridiculous before
the public, and then to add insult to INJURY
by commenting on them in sarcastic editorials.
Since TIE TIMES has come into the field,
and its contemporaries having become con-
vinced that it has got into the hands of those
who intend it to stay. a sudden conversion
seems to have taken place. and with that con-
version an active interest in labor affairs is
now manifested by those capitalistic institu-
tions that formerly ignored US. To this labor
organizations do not object, but at the same
time we'll knowing the reason, will keep one
eye open. 1t is the natural instinct OF the de-
ceived to doubt the sudden change of the
deceiver, and lead them to believe that back
sliding would be just as sudden If the cause
of their conversion should cease to exist.
Organized labor of this city does not nor can
it forget what it would have given for such
an able defender of the rights of workingmen
as THE WASHINGTON TIMES during the men,
orable struggle Of 'S6.
If you cannot afford to take both the morn
ing and evening papers. for Gods sake, broth

down as reck,essly as fragrantly into the
creek 1t is on the Georgetown side 1t is
hal! way up the embankment, above it being
a pile of rubbish which has been accumuiat-
ing by incessant dumping for years. On the
right OF the sewer and quite near it is
house which has the appearance of resting on
the slope. but Ii is perdendieular. 1t is not
in nice locality
But the p street sewer is something to be
smelled to be fully appreciated. 1t is a gush-
ing stream with plenty of head and it vomits
out so much in short time as to give the i'm
preston that it has The contract for eviscerat-
ing the whole city. Near the mouth OF ii is a
whirlpool in which odds and ends of Holsters,
turkeys, COWS, chickens, dogs, and cats per-
form the dance of death. 1t requires only
modicum of fancy to see whisking among
the dancers the bacillus and the bacterium in
gleeful embrace. The scum of great part
of the city floats on the surface and speaks
for itself.
A little beyond this sewer is a small pipe
out of which was flowing yesterday a stream
of blood. 1t tinges the creek, giving it rather
startling appearance. This pipe discharges
the blood of whole hecatomAs of animals
which are slaughtered in an establishment
on the top of the embankment.
Where does all this stuff go? The greater
part Of ii remains iD the creek or spreads it
sell over the mud flats. The stream is as
sinuous as snake and, besides, there are
The Washington times., 1895-01-20
to the proper typhoid and scarlet fever con-

sistency.
A reporter from THE TIMES took look at
all these agencies industriously at work yes
terday afternoon. Standing on the M-street
bridge, and looking TO The left on the bluff,
about 200 yards from the-bridge, there were
four carts drawn up. They were full of rub
bish which. in the course OF a lew minutes,
the active carriers had pitched over the preci
pice. 1t was hot stuff for some of it was actu-
ally on fire. The debris rolled down the
slope and spread itself promiscuously from
top TO bottom. II it had all reached the
. river. some of it might have been carried
away; but it is all there vet, and most OF it
could not be reached even by flood as high
as the freshet OF IS89
Over on the right of the creek. exactly op-
posite this place. there is a sign which reads:
''No dumping here by order of the Com
missioners." While the reporter was reading
this ukase cart came along full of things
that had an ancient and lsh-like smell. The
driver must have been used 10 it. for he sat
on the top Of the load, and when he got oppo-
site the sign he wheeled to the right and
dumped the whole business in the rear of
some houses where they probably can dump
by order of the Commissioners. He was
asked why he dumped it there and he said it
was TO get it out of the way.
Not far from this dumping ground, which
is not hundred yards from the printed man.
ifesto. there is a row Of houses with their
rear to the creek. and from these there are
rivulets of unnamed liquids which triekle
away toward the creek. but lose themselves
before they reach it
BY THE OVERHEAD ROUTE.
They. however, sink into the other slush
and percolate here, there. and everywhere
through the emhankment of the creek.
About fifty yards higher up on the right
there is a cataract OF sewage which tumbles
The Washington times., 1895-01-20

creek, and the whole way furnishes offenses,
step by step, to the eye and nose. Below the
NJ street bridge, toward the river, the eondi-
ton is not any better, for they speak down
there of the canal as the boss sewer.
Three reputable residents Of Georgetown
said yesterday that there are spots on the sur
face of the creek which do not freeze because
they are SO greasy. They also said that flush
ing the creek out by closing canal gates does
very little good, because great proportion
of the dangerous dregs is imbedded compactly
at the bottom, and some of it hes in holes at
the bottom.
One of the propositions to secure immu-
nifty from the constant menace of Rock Creek
is to arch over the lower part of the creek
and to put in system of intercepting sewers.
This idea is popular in Georgetown.
In the last report of the engineer depart
ment of the District. James l.. Lusk, captain
of engineers, has this to say:
''It should be clearly understood that no
adequate relief from the existing polluted

Rock Greek, within the city limits. is a
sewer Of sewers. From the Potomac to the
p street bridge it holds in solution about as
much disease-bearing stuff as could well be
pumped into an equal volume Of water and
space by the highest powers Of hydraulic
pressure
To discover what is iD this creek il is only
necessary to get down into the rayine through
which it runs, walk along the mud fats, and
see the dirty little feeders that flow into it
from the sewers or trickle down the declevi-
ties, where the rains and the cracking earth
have made gaping flssures.
The air OF Georgetown and on the further
side Of Rock Greek is filed with wild male
dicsions upon the sanitary condition that
challenges comparison anywhere in inhabited
cities. Every street. north and south, cross
ing the creek has sewer which contributes
more or less to the volume OF filth on the
water and lying loose on the fats which, with
all that stick on the them, are baked by the

neer commissioner on Rock Greek is an

money.
Only one thing appears to be certain. and
that is that the danger to the whole city from

The District government is not just now
constructing that kind of system of sewers,
but the dumping goes ON just the same in the
noisome neighborhood of Rock Creek.
