Next Tuesday evening the Board Of
Trade will hold an important meeting in
the hall of the Builders Exchange The
subject then to be discussed will be one of
great breadth and SURPRISING interest, for
the meeting has been called to consider the
sanitation Of the city and other matters of
a sort closely pertinent to the public
health. By this time it should be evident
to all Washingtonians who are concerned
for their own and the citys welfare that
the Board of Trade has done and is doing
thoroughly good work. What it may do in
the future will depend largely upon the
people Of Washington themselves. There
are many Washingtonians who, while ell
gibie in every sense to membership in the
organization and who ought certainly to
belong, are yet on the outside. These
should contribute their influence to the
end that material betterments of the most
desirable kind may be achieved at the
earliest possible date. The Board of Trade
Is doing well now, but 1t is reasonably
sure that it would do even more If it had
twice or three times as many members as
are now upon its rolls.

that recognition by this country of the
bel;igerent rights Of the Cuban revolution
lists is entirely within the bounds Of inter-
national law and Justice. The case may be
illustrated in homely way. Two men are
fighting, and their next-door neighbor is
staEding by. The big cembatant goes into
the premises of the neigEbor and gathers
up all the sticks and stones and other
missiles he needs and with them may be-
labor his antagonist without Interference.
The little combatant Is not allowed to
touch stick Or grasp stone. notwith-
everything that is lear and sacred to him;
he Is doing the best he can against over
Whelming odds, yet his neighbor withholds
from him the privilege he extends to his
enemy. That is the exact situation in
Cuba and the United States is the neigh
bor The recognition of the belligerent
rights of the Cubans does not necessarily
mean any recognition of the independence
of their government, either now or in the
future; it simply means impartial treat
ment of the Spanish and the Cubans. If
Spain does not like such q stand as that
suggested on the part of the United States
that fact should make TO difference, and it
really does not make any difference. Ma
tions. like individuals, must respect the
right of independent, lawful action on the
part of others: whether that action be
pie asant or distasteful IS inconsequential.

Street Railroad Exfensi0ns.

by their refusal to recommend favorable
action by Congress on the bills granting
extension privileges TO the Belt and Eek
irgton railway systems. the Commissioners
have taught the Inevitable lesson that q
street railway company must first give
good service in the territory 1t originally
occupies before 1t can receive the right to
go Into new fields A public corporation of
this character can not now be allowed to
continue in old ruts. 1t must keep abreast
OF the times, fully and promptly. 1t must
give the best means of rapid transit at
hand as n partial return for the privilege
OF occupying the field. 1t pays nothing
for its charter and fer the use Of the
streets and the least it can do Is to furnish
the best service to the people. The Joint
corporations ought now to settle down to
a vigorous and successful effort to equip
their already extensive lines with first
class modern methods of rapid transit, and
to give their present patrons effective and
convenient service. When this has been
done they can apply for additions to their
field In competition with up-to-date rivals
with SOME confidence of a measure of sue
cess.

Big Ice Crop. Big Prices,

Lovers Of Iced drinks and devourers of all
sorts of frisfd preparations such as are
popular in the glad summer time, not to
mention householders who are anxious to
keep the butter reasonably firm through
out the dog-days. will greet as an old friend
the cheering statement that there never
was heavier or more satisfactory ice-crop
than that which is being harvested on
the rivers of the doWn-east states. There
Is official announcement just now to the
effect that steadily low temperatures are
producing Ice which is from thirteen to
twenty inches thick, of the finest quality
and wholly free from snow. This ANNOUNCE
ment may be accepted as an indication that
the price Of Ice will be little higher four
or five months hence than 1t was year
ago. Reason for the increase in the retail
figures will Of course be hard to find, but
all the precedents favor the surmise that
the selling price will be advanced Several
winters ago the ice crop was said to be a
failure and, singularly enough, Ice was
cheaper during the succeeding summer
than it had beeen for many seasons pre-
vious Now that the Ice houses are being
filled by large forces Of laborcrs who are
working overtime in order that, metaphor
ically, hay may be made while the sun
shines. purchasers should prepare to pay
more money for less ice-and snowy ice at
that-than has been their custom in recent
years.

Rumors as to a supposed political deal
between the republican Boss Platt and the
democratic Boss Croker will not command
score Of novelty. Such combina ton has
existed for many years and like combina-
lions will continue to be so long as purely
selfish ambition may operate with rea-
sonable safety in the world of politics
Since the days of Tweed there has never
been period In New York's history when
1ammany would not trade off all it's hopes
ana assets In the state in exchange for un-
Emitted control in the city and there is
every reason for believing that Tammany
is now ready to pledge itself to help Boss
that in return Boss Croker be re-enthroned
on Manhattan Island. Such deals have un-
doubtedly been made and, if the two bosses
are agreed, it only remains for the follow
crs of the two chieftains, aided by the
"ecent but careless voters who so frequent
iy VIII not vote, to consummate the agree
ment. 1t seems to be generally understood
that when Croker was monarch of New
York, Platts followers received a much
larger proportion of the municipal offices
than has been given them during the ad-
ininlstration OF Mayor Strong; there are
therefore at least two reasons why Boss
Platt would prefer Tammany rule in New
York 10 such a clean government as Is
now In control of that city. But are the
Eefofmers going to sit with folded hands
ard permit the two bosses to do as they
please?

Pathy with the Cuban revoIUtionists who
are struggling for liberty develops a rather
singular tendency on the part of some of
the debaters TO question how Spain will re-
gard such action. Tho whole trend of the
at cries was in that direction. How will
Spain look upon us? Will it lead to COM
piications with Spain? Is there not a
chance for Spain to take umbrage and
thus make a collision between the coun-
tries possible? This delicate consideration

of any other nation. for that matter, on
the part of the United States In dealing

Dou.t Burn the Garbage.

Street Cleaning Commissioner Waring Of
New York has made some valuable re-
searches in the garbage disposal problem
ard his preliminary report, synopsis Of
which appears in today's issue. shows con-
clusively that the reduction of garbage is
far more desirable than its cremation or ut
ter destruction. Col. Waring declares that
''aIl reduction methods, properly conducted.
can be made unobjectionable." He further
shows that by careful treatment each ton
of garbage can be made to yield market
able products worth 81 The Importance
of this fact is to be found upon an analysis
of other statistics presented by the Com
missioner He gives the quantity of gar
fage per capita collected in eight American
cities each day, ranging from .245 of a
pound in Buffalo to .9l6 in Boston. Just
what causes this wide difference in the col
lections does not appear. Buffalo, with a
total population of approximately 100000 in
l>:0-this being probably far less than the
actual number of inhabitants at present
therefore produces about - tons Of garbage
per day, and this. at $2.41. would probably
produce S,9.Oi worth of marketable material.
Boston. in 1880, had about $4,000 people, and
with a per capita collection of .946 Of a
pound per day. there would be gathered
there 212-S tons of garbage daily. worth
&'..'.6l The average per capita weight Of
collections in the eight cities named by Col
Waring Is ..siS of pound. and this figure
nay he taken as basis of an estimate as
Ia the value Of the local field to the con-
tractors, in the absence of fully accurate
weight statistics. There being now about
.~I.DO people in Washington. the daily col
lection should aggregate, on this basis
.>-12 tons. yielding sl92.95 worth Of valu-
able products In the year of 365 days this
would aggregate sIO,426.
The city is row under contract to pay
sJs."0 year to collect and burn the gar
iage. the work is to be done by the peo-
pie who are now gathering the refuse and
disppsing of it theoretically by removing it
from the District. practically, to consider
able extent, by letting the Potomac take
charge of It, pending the completion of the
irc:nerator at the foot of South Capitol
street. There Is no guarantee that under
the cremation process the collection, now
very unsatisfactory, will be any better for
there is 70 inducement for the contractor to
give the city thorough cleansing as there
Is under the reduction system, which gives
tn" garbage direct value, proportionate
of course, to its mass. Thus the reduction
plan of disposal involves not only a great
owing to the value of the products OBJ
iained from the refuse, but it ensures a
practically perfect collection. and Is by far
the best and most satisfactory method of
treatment.

Look Out for the Comet!

People who are easily disturbed by as
Economical phenomena are in state of
mind now because men learned in the star
gazing science are discussing the probabili-
ties Of q collision between the Perrine comet
and the earth. The comet Is now only 4O.-
100000 miles away and is proceeding hither-
ward at the rate Of 1,GOO.OOO miles a day.
All sorts of calculations have been made and
are being made. but. in view Of the fact that
none of the astronomers now living were
here when this comet roamed in the vicinity
Of the earth on the occasion of a previous
visit. there seems to be a good deal of doubt
as to what the comet will do; the learned
are not, in baseball phrase, ION to its
curves" Prof. Pickering of Harvard says
that collision is certainly possible, and he
very frankly says he does not know what
would happen in case the two bodies should
come together. Prof Young of Princeton
admits the possibility of a collision. and
says that such thing will surely take place
If the earth only lasts long enough. Babi-
net, who was quite an expert in the higher
mathematics. thought that such encounters
would not. however, take place more than
orce in 1j.0OO.O0O years. The vastness of
that period may afford some comfort to the
nervous. but, unfortunately for those who
demand solid TRUTH. Mr.. Babinet did not
locate precisely the time Of collision.
Therefore, the "Once in 15,O0OOOO years.
may come the week after next, and If that
should chance to be SO all popular interest
In the other 14,999,999 years would be as
nothing. Prof. Pickering and Prof Lensch-
ner of the California State University agree
that all the probabilities point to the comets
changing its course about the beginning Of
March; change sufficient to avert the pos
slbiiity of any great catastrophe If, how
ever. 1t is to be the fate of this globe to be
annihilated in the near future by cometary
force 1t might be just as we'll to have the
affair come off before any of the political
conventions meet, and before the republic
has begun to suffer the discomforts of a.

January SO, 1885, tried by Its effect,
was to restore former conditions, so
that more grain might be carried over
Eastern and less over lines to gulf
ports.
The restoration was understood to be
but temporary, the restored rates being
unsatisfactory to many of the railroad
companies interested. 1t was agreed
by the railroad companies interested
therein to submit to arbitration the set
tlement or determination of what the
relative rate should be on -four and
grain products from the States and
Territories mentioned to the gulf ports
and to st. Louis and Chicago, and
points east. The adjustment of these
rates was so submitted and, as we are
advised, is under arbitration.
The railway companies competing
for the traffic in question are members
of the Southwestern Traffic Associs.
tion, or of the Western Freight Associ-
alton, or are represented in the Trans.
Missouri Freight.Rste Committee. The
conference and arrangements, as the
result of which the rates were so re-
stored on January 20, 1896, and sub
mitted to arbitration, were partly
effected by said railroads through
said railway associations and freight
rate committee. The companies car
rying to the gulf ports and Mexican
border compose the Southwestern Trsf-
tic Association. Carriers of Atlantic
seaboard freight from trans Missouri
territory belong to the Western Freight
Association, and some, who, in con-
nection with other companies, are car.
riers both to the gulf and to the Eastern
seaboard, are represented in the Trans
Missouri Freight. Rate committee.
Whether rates so advanced on Jan.
uary 20, 1896, and which are now
in force, are reasonable or unresson-
able and in violation Of the provisions
of the interstate commerce law" is in
volved in the several proceedings pend
ing before the commission and
undetermined. The railway associa.
tiOns, through which the several com.
psnies effected the changes of rates 30.
made on October 3, 1895, and January
20, 1896, are similar in their organiza-
tion and purposes to other railroad as.
sociations in different sections of the.
country. Three several proceedings
are now pending in the United States
courts, instituted by the commission
or upon It's request, to test the legality
of such associations, their actions and
doings. Still another proceeding, not.
begun at the instance of this commits
sion, is now pending before the United
States Supreme court, involving the.
validity of another such association.
under the antitrust act.
Fourth-"In the opinion of the com.
mission" there is additional legisla-
tiOn required to better protect the.
public interests" The commission
has annually during all the years of its
existence recommended such legisla.
ton. Any evils resulting from the use,
OF the Missouri river as a bssing line
will be remedied by so amending the
act to regulate commerce as to provide
for through routing and through billing
