Effects OF Silver.

cannot but think there has been some
confusion of ideas regarding the effects Of
the issue of bonds and the results Of the
withdrawal of gold. 1t was the latts p
process and not the former that by substi-
tuting in the treasury United States notes
and treasury notes for gold increased by
their amount the money which was in the
first instance subject to ordinary govern
Inent expenditure. Although the law
compelling an increased purchase of silver
by the government was passed on The l4th
day of july, 1890 Withdrawals Of gold
from the treasury upon the notes given IN
payment on such purchases did not begin
until October, 1881. Immediately follow
ing that date the Withdrawals upon both
these notes and United States notes in
creased very largely ard have continued to
such an extent that since the passage OF
that law there has BEEN more than 10
times as much gold taken out Of the treas
ury upon Unised States notes and treasury
notes issued for silver purchases as was
thus withdrawn during the IL Il years i'm

A FEW suGGEsTIONs

The excise board is evidently doing right
in having the city mapped out and marked
with the name ard location OF ecoh saloon,
so that every square will show how many
houses are selling liquor. In making up
| its map the board should not forget TO Gcsig-
nate the eighty-one speakcasies In the Di-
vision, where liquor is sold night and day,
including Sunday, and'it might also be W ell
TO annotate on the margin of the map that
S32, 400 is lest to tie District revenues,
through failure to compel these speak
easies 10 take out u license.
Laying aside the moral question involved,
in this discrimination the excise board is
doing an injustice to these who pay
license fee for selling LIQUOR, and W ho sub
init to regulations W hich require them to
close their places of business on stated days
and during certain hours. There are 775
places in Washington " here liquor is sold
under license, and it is not right that
eigh.y-one unlicensed speakeasies should
be permitted to sell in competition, TO the
deiriment of tie trade of the law abiding
saloon keepers. That is the business side
Oh the question. Inc IloTdl Sue is very
much more in evidence.
The sale of liquor is regulated by law to
prevent its use by irresponsible persons and
to lessen the injury done society by It's
insidious effects. 1T has always been looked
upon as n promoter of crime and disease,
but SO strong is its hold on the human
family that its abolition is at present an
impossibility. For that reason we have a
license system that places its sale in the
hands of reputable persons in all we'll
regulated communities. The eighty one
speakeasies now selling liquor in the Di-
vision. are neither reputable nor responsible.
Their inmates are social pariahs and out
casts, and to allow them TO sell strong
drink under any conditions is contrary to
the best interests the public.

NO CAUSE FOR ALARM.

In view OF the approaching session of
Congress and the natural influx of visitors
to Washington the attempt to create
typhoid scare to promote private interests
Should meet emphatic disapprovaL Leading
physicians say the disease is little if any
worse this year than usual, and that there
is absolutely no ground for alarm or cause
to send out sensational Information. This
is the season when typhoid is more or less
prevalent, and it is shameful to practice upon
the fears of community TO further per
sonai aims. Instead of listening to the
tales of interested persons the public should
quietly await events. Should typhoid
threaten serious results there will be time
enough 10 check it before any great harm
can be done.
Let it be remembered that imperfect
sewerage is not the prime cause OF typhoid,
and if Washington were infinitely worse
off in that respect than it is there would
be no cause for the present outcry. Good
sanitary conditions are necessary to health,
and while these conditions in Washington
might be greatly improved. we are not in
danger of an epidemic. When Congress
meets an effort will be made to pass an
other bond bill for the Improvement of our
streets and sewers, and any reasonable
effort in that direction should meet public
approval. But an issue of bonds Of which
at least half would be sold to improve
suburban property will naturally be dis
countenanced and its promoters denounced.
The District bond bill was defeated in the
last Congress because it included scheme
to promote private interests, and next time
the attempt is made the use to, which the
money is to be put should be clearly
stated, and that can only be done by in
cooperating in the measure the particular
improvements TO be made, together with
each specific locality. When this is done a
bond bill for necessary improvements will
pass Congress.

posed OF. 1t is quite proper, therefore
that the removal OF ashes, instead Of being
left to private contrivance, should be per
formed by the public scavenger.
With view to a sanitary reform OF this
character DR.. Woodward has asked for an
appropriation for two crematories for the
destru ction of refuse other than that
gathered by the garbage collector. He ad-
mits that this will involve considerable
expense and constitute an additional charge
upon the taxpayer. but the actual outlay for
each householder would scarcely be more
than he now has to incur for the removal
Of ashes by ''de ole ash man." The chief
argument, however, in favor of DR.. Wood
wards proposition is that it tends in the
direction of more perfect sanitation of
the city, and that overbalances. all other
considerations
The health officer puts the whole case
in a nut shell when he says: THE most I'M
portant items to the maintenance of the
health of the community are pure air, pure
water, soil free from pollution, and pure
food supply, and the purity and cleanliness
OF these depend largely upon the prompt
and proper removal of all kinds of refuse
matter"

His mother had retired and MIR. DelOe

TIE TRAFFIC Trust.

The big traffic trust, which includes
al the important railroad systems in the
country, compl eted its organization in
New York yesterday, and as soon as the
agreement can be ratified by the boards
of directors OF the different railroad or
ganizatioHs it will Immediately go into
effect.
The trust is to have jurisdiction over
all competitive freight and passenger
traffic passing to and from the several
trunk lines, and its affairs are TO be
managed by n board of nine directors
taken from the following systems: Grand
Trunk, Vanderbilt. Lackawanna, Lehigh
Valley, Erie. Pennsylvania, Baltimore and
Ohio, Chesapeake and Ohio, nd Wabash.
II is hardly necessary to state the real
object of this trust. The public will find
1t out soon enough, If there is any doubt
as to its ultimate purpose. An effort was
made in the last Congress to legalize
railroad pool similar to the one just
organized, hut it was defeated because
II was believed to be contrary TO public
interests.
Sooner or later our law-making bodies
vill have to take a more vigorous stand
