Sidewalk Reform.

The good work of putting down a proper
sidewalk pavement now going on in GER
tain parts of the city should be pushed for
ward without interruption or delay until
the footwalks on every principal street and
avenue within the city limits are made
passable-which many of them are not, and
have not been for many years. 1t is of
course important that those centrally To-
Gated thoroughfdres which are given up
wholly or in part to business purposes
should be provided with smooth and safe
footing for pedestrians: but 1t is no less i'm
portant that the leading arteries between
the residence and business portions Of the
city should be similarly equipped. The time
for brick Observation-Disclosures uncomforta-

OF one hundred thousand people. Certainly
they should no longer be tolerated in Wash
angton. Hitherto our authorities, legislative
as well as executive, seem to have directed
all their attention and energies to making
the ways smooth and delightful for people
fortunate enough to own carriages and BIZ
cycles, wholly ignoring the comfort and
safety of that much larger percentage of
our population that is obliged to use foot
walks in all conditions of weather and un-
der all circumstances. 1t is high time the
rights and interests of these should be
consulted Therefore, we say again, let the
good work go forward, without interruption

A Tribute of ResDect.

/, AS friend of good, clean government.
Theodore Roosevelt ought to feel compii-
mented by the fact that the bomb found
In New York letter-box yesterday was
addressed to him. The people who send
bombs do not resent the acts of men in
favor of corruption. Richard Croker was
never thus threatened. Boss" Tweed was
immune from attacks of this kind. Such
persons were secure from the anger and
violence of the advocates of assassinat ton.
and their greatest menace in all the years
OF their enjoyment Of their enormous
political privileges came from the law and
the peaceful but effective vengeance of
good citizens. Mr. Roosevelt has amply
earned the remonstrance which yesterday
took the form of a clumsy bomb. He has
given New York a clean, honest, and. what
ds more. thorough enforcement of law.
de has antagonized the very classes who
make and send internal machines to public
spirited citizens and honest officials, and
1t Is tribute to his administration of the
police department of the metropolis that
ne has invited the explosive protest which
fortunately failed in its murderous errand.

The Only Proper Mediation.

The administration preserves silence re-
Bpecting the report of mediatory offices ten
dered the Spanish government looking to
peace in Cuba. Some OF it's champions in
sist that nothing has been done. and that
no such tender could with propriety be
made. The reply to his is that what Presf-
dent Grant did in that direction would not
be improper for President Cleveland. There
Is war in Cuba now, as there was in 1862
The disturbed state of the island Is as OBJ
jectionable to the United States now as it
was then The bonds of humanity are as
strong now as they were then. and the
commercial ties between the United States
and the island are very much stronger now
than ever before. Why should not the good
offices of this government be extended for
the purpose of bringing hostilities to a
close?
But that is not the question. The ques-
tion is, 10 what end should the offices of
this government be extended in the prem
tses? President Grant spoke for reforms in
Cuba He asked that the Spanish govern
ment relax somewhat the severity of its
rule on the island The people. he urged,
should have larger voice In their own af-
fairs The case was so strong in itself and
50 strongly put that the Spanish government
conceded it. The ministry promised every
thing; but it performed nothing If only
part of what was then promised to Cuba
had been accorded to her the present war
would probably never have broken out
But nothing was accorded to her. When
the Cuban people laid down their arms in
considerations of those promises they soon
found that their shackles were riveted
tighter than ever, and that their late asser-
ton of their rights was counting against
them.
: In the light of this history. why negotiate
further with Spain about reforms in Cuba ?
Spain has shown her hand in that matter
Her interest In the island has been demon
strated to be entirely selfish and COM
mercial. Such reforms as Cuba needs and
demands now mean independence. Can
Spain be induced to negotiate for that? If
not. let the fact be formally communicated
to this government, and then We shall know
precisely where we stand with regard to
our further duty.
: That Spain would renew the promises
about reforms made some years ago is
easily conceivable. To refuse to do so
would put her in bad light on her own
side of the water even. She has confessed
to the necessity of reforms, but lays the
blame of non-performance at the door of
Cuba But Cuba would not accept her
promises now, nor should the United States
be willing to do SO. Only Cuban fndepend-
exec will bring the war to close and as
sure the reign of peace and justice on the
island

board OF revision become law. One OF the
paragraphs likely to suffer some change b
that which has 1t that, without respect to
height, all buildings used as tenement
houses, boarding houses. colleges. semin-
aries, academies. hospitals, asylums, halls
and places of amusement shall be required
to provide flre-escapes thereon. For the
present 1t will be sufficient to deal with the
boarding houses; incidentally remarking
that the height Of the building, its con-
struction and the probable number OF its
inmates should be taken into account; a
hard and fast rule applied to all boarding
houses would work Injustice and might be
the cause of rational derision. That occn-
pants Of boarding houses need all the pro-
tectinE care likely to be afforded them by
the general and municipal governments
must be admitted by all conscientious
readers Of the humorous papers. Thous-
ands Of the unfortunates have complained
loudly while millions have suffered in COM
parative silence. yet up to the present time
1t is not known that any one Of the dis
contented ever petitiOned for fire-escape.
The gnashing Of teeth that have engaged in
conflict with rubber-soled pies has fire.
Quently been heard; the wall Of the man
who hates prunes has smashed the calm Of
to eat hash or go hungry has been feature
Of daily life. If, therefore, 1t is the honest
desire of the authorities to add to the COM
fort of those who dwell in boarding houses
they should see to 1t that the cries of the
real sufferers are no longer unheeded.
There should be careful inspection of beef
steak and it might also be well to empower
the police to settle the question as to how
frequently or infrequently canned peaches
should be served. Supervision Of the coffee
making operations would be highly COM
mendable and the health officer could do
nothing that would make him more popular
than start a crusade which would prevent
the substitution of oleomargarine for but
ter and, that being DONE would see to 1t
that the butter was of the best quality and
devoid of capillary features. And while the
good work of reform was proceeding the
Commissioners might see If something could
be done in behalf Of those "roomers'' who
must perforce inhabit hall bedrooms and
who are frequently called upon to risk their
precious lives by close association with
foiding beds. All these things having been
accomplished the Commissioners then. sigh
ing for new worlds to conquer, might per-
haps give serious consideration to the uni
versal hre-escape proposition. At this time
though. that proposition appears to be a
trif1e premature.
