Who Is My NeighbOr:

Ihree deeply interesting topics are treated
In the annual report of Sanitary officer
Frank. which has been placed before The
stars readers: the imposition practiced up
on the District Of Columbia by neighbor-
Ing states that will not care for their own
lnf1Tm and destitute, the absence of a con-
tagious diseases hospital and the neces.
slty for an tnebriate asylum.
The first Of these topics presents prob
lem rot easily to be solved. 1t will. of
course. be possible to peremptorily turn
back from our borders the afflicted ones
who are sent hither by impecunious and
hard-hearted communities in Virginia and
Maryland, but such a proceeding would
properly be condemned by every humane
man and woman in the city. Lack OF
funds in many instances prevents the pro-
lonSed treatment of the imported unfor-
tunates. so that ultimately, as rule, they
must be returned to the places whence
they came. Even this process Is more ex-
pensive than the District can afford. Ii
might reasonably be supposed that states
IN which there Is supposed to be so much
of pride as is boasted by Virginia and
Maryland would not endeavor to evade re-
sponsibilties which are peculiarly theil
own.
AS to the hospitals for the treatment oil
contagious diseases and inebriates little
needs to be said. Every one admits thai
we need such Institutions, and it is the
general desire that they may be speedily
called into working existence.

Complete the Sewer System.

Inst as soon as Congress settles down to
business at its next session it should be
the duty of the District Commissioners and
of all residents of the District who are
cor cerned as to the public health in this
vicinity to cell the attention of the national
legislature to the situation complained or
by Captain L. III. Beach in his annual re-
port, printed in The Star of Saturday.
Captain Beach is in charge of the sewer
department and for that reason, If for no
other. must be thoroughly acquainted with
the conditions he condemns In the report
to which reference is here made Captain
Beach says:
1.-The condition of Rock creek Is some
thing which, it is believed. the people of
the District not in general aware or
1t Is q small stream about nifty feet wide
closed by a dam at its mouth. This dam
destroys all current for distance or ever
a mile back from the Potomac. The sew
age OF larger portion of Georgetown and
all that portion of Washington north OF b
street and west of f4th street Is thrown
irto this Stagnant water. The result upon
the health of the community Is thus worse
than IL the entire city of Alexandria would
use the creek for dumping the waste ma
the citIzers would be should Alexandria
attempt any such thing is not hard to pre-
diet. but. since the material now deposited
there is brought there inytSibiy, there
dition5 resulting and the necessity for a
remedy.
"A somewhat similar condition of affairs
exists along the Anacostia river. where the
various sewers from the eastern portion
OF the city discharge their contents into the
shallow stream, these being carried at
high tide over the wide flats bordering the
shores, and being left there at low tide, de-
compose and axe most detrimental and
dangerous to the health of people dwelling
alorg the banks of that stream and Tor
some distance back from IT. An eNam3na-
ton of the medical statistics of AnacoStia
or of the hospital records at the navy yard
viii furnish abundant proof of this state
meEt.
Such a state Of affairs ought not to be
permitted longer existence. 1t is true that
Congress has may times been appealed
to and fas turned deaf ear, but there
must come a time when the District Will
he heard, even If it is for no better reason
than that it INDUCES in much speaking
All tine fscts necessary to a proper pre-
sentation of the case should be gathered
by the Commissioners and by the Board OF
Trade to the end that dangerous assa ul'
upon the public heaEh may be no longer
possible.

friends are claiming the state by nifty
thorsand majority
The old leaders In Pennsylvania, with
Mr. Harrity at their head, have taken a
like step.
Senator Brice, ex-Congressmen Outh
waite, Virgil P. Kline ard many others are
opposing Mr.. Bryan in Ohio.
Mr.. Bynum is heading an opposition in
Indiana which includes among It's MEM
bers some Of the most skillful political
workers in the state
Senator Villas and General Bragg in Wis
cri sin, and Don N. Dickinson in Michigan,
are Wcrking energeiically at home.
IfiI OILS furnishes the head of the third
ticket and promises him hearty and sub
stsntial support.
In the border states are found ex-Sena-
tor Whyte. ex-Congressman Raynor, AMI
Congressman Cowen of Maryland, Secre-
tary Francis ard General Joe Shelby of
Missouri ard Senator Lindsay, Secretary
Carlisle. CoEgressmen Breckinridge and
Dickerscn, and Henry Watterson of Ken
tucky, all advocating Mr.. Bryan's defeat.
In the southern states proper there are
Governor O'Ferrall and General Lee of Vir-
ginia, Postmaster General Wilson and ex-
Ser ator Camden of West Virginia, Secre-
l1iy I1crUSIt ana Ex-Governor Jones OF
Alatama, Senator Gray Of Delaware, and
Senator Caffery of Louisiana, enlisted in
the cause Of sound money, and all men of
erersy and influence.
The managers of the silver party are be-
comirg aware that the army of generals"
Is by no means a dress parade affair, or
one registering only personal resentment.
Ii Is very serious affair, and threatens
the Chicago ticket with the loss Of many
votes. 1t would be quite impossible, in
deed, for so many men of high position
and reputation In every part of the coun-
try to take stand against Mr.. Bryan
without carrying with them a large num-
ber of followers.
The Bryan managers hope to make up
this loss by recruiting from the rank and
file Of the republicans. The difference is
that the men who are deserving the de-
| mocracy are publicly proclaiming their ac-
tlon; whereas the much-talked-a bout re-
| publican detection, outside of two or three
| small western states, Is. so far, only a
| matter OF campaign claiming.

Soon after the Chicago convention, Mr..
Bryan characterized the sound money
democrats who refused to support him as
"an army of generals" The phrase was
caught up by the silver men, and for
time they made very liberal use OF it. Not
SO much has been heard of it of late The
srmy has been growing until. even con-
,ding that 1t contains many generals, t
is now a formidable organization. The
list. indeed. OF prominent democrats, who
have come out either fer Mr. Mckinley or
Gen Palmer. or who through Indifference
are lest to Mr.. Bryan, is the longest and
most illustrious in the whole history Of

In New York the situation Is compre-

of rational reputation and influence is
either openly opposing the Chicago ticket
or Is sulking In his tent The local situa

of two hundred thousand for MIR. Mckinley
Is seriously canvassed.
