A Low Death Rate.

The local death rate reported by the
Health Officer for the week ending Septem-
beH 70 is unusually low. There were but
ninety cases of death during that period
giving d rate for the year, if continued, of
only 16.6, as against 2O.2 in 4 corresponding
period In 1895. There has been a steady
decline in the death rate ever since the
heavy mortality caused by the intense heat
OF early August and the returns have
plainly indicated that the general condi-
uons for health are excellent in Washing
ton. The climate has its vagaries, as in
any other region. and at the extremes of
heat. cold and humidity the mortality rec
ord is swelled from causes that are difficult
of counteraction. Yet thanks to the Jealous
work that has been done by both officials
and citizens from year to year in discover
ing. exploiting and remedying the dangers
to health that exist here naturally or that
result from careless management in the
past, the city Is rapidly assuming high
rank among the great centers of life in the
possession Of healthful conditions. There
is much yet to be done and the fair returns
of the past few weeks should encourage the
people to even more vigorous endeavors for
large appropriations for sewers. water sup

Owing to the lack OF telegraphic facilities

fatalities reported from the south. there is

Suburban Railroad Fares.

A five-cent fare for all suburban distances
under twenty miles has been adopted by
the Chicago and Northern Pacific Railway
running out of Chicago While this is
said to be the cheapest suburban trans
portation ever offered by a railway COM
pany in this country, whether steam or
electric power Is used for the movement Of
its cars, Ii Is an Indication of what may
be expected in the future in the I:e.ghbor-
hood of all popuious cities. The popularity
Of this reduction is not confined to any
class of patrons: the fiye-cent fare il the
privilege of the casual patrons as well as
of those who the line regularly.
Through travellers are often of the opinion
that the rates given them are in excess of
legitimate requirements. and are 50 be-
cause of the cheap fares of commuters"
AS a matter of fact the commuters do not
profit at the expense of casual patrons:
they pay fair prices for the service render
ed 1t is the regular rates that need adjust
ment and ought to be reduced. The roads
running out of Washington would find it,
doubtless, profitable to take example from
the Chicago and Northern Pacific and fix
their suburban rates on similar basis.

Street Sweeping Estimates.

There is no logical reason for Supt. Nc
kenzie's fear. expressed in the statement
accompanying his annual estimates just
submitted. that more money will be needed
Tor next years stTeet-Sweeping because of
the operation OF the eight-hour law. The
present contract for cleaning the streets ard
alleys expires June 30. 1897, having been
made three years previous to that date. be-
fore the eight-hour law took efec.. Conse-
quently legal conditions will prevail next
June that were absent whef, Mr.. DaSgett
undertook the task of clearing Washing
tons thoroughfares. Were the presen. con-
tract so written to permit the employ
ment of labor for any length of time desired
by the contractor 1t would be timely now to
consider ways and means of increasing the
fund; but the specifications that Mr.. DaGgett
is supposed to follow require that all the
work shall be done between 10 pm. and q
am. a period of eight hours. That Mr..
DagSett has repeatedly failed TO observe
this requirement The Star has demonstratej.
but such extension If the working period
is clearly and concedediy forbidden by his
contract and it becomes :mmaterill whether
the eight hour law does or does no- apply.
Just why Mr.. Daggett can not undertake
again to do the work for the presen: price
The people, however, want the streets
swept clean and in making plans for next
year 1t must be borne in mind that even
under the Illegal ten-hour ARRANGEMENT
adopted for time by the present con-
tractor there Were many complaints heard
and there was ample evidence from time
to time of bad work. If it is practically
demonstrated that satisfactory street
sweeping not be done for the present
appropriation more money must be hal OF
course with the steady increase of paving
and the natural growth of the city there
comes a need for more funds but the
superintendent in his estimates bases the
requisition for larger appropriation solely
upon the interpositiOn of the s-alnte OF

tiny. Nor should any bid be entertain I'd
next June that is increased over the present
figures on this account. Doubtless she ap-
plicants for the contract will make use of
this alleged change in conditions to submit
larger figures and perhaps the best and
easiest escape from the dilemma i'll be the
performance of the work by .he District,
for which specific authority should be re-
Quested from Congress at the next session.
Evening star., 1896-10-02

the exception Of Mr. Eustis, Louisiana has
not sent SO bold and forceful man to the
upper house of Congress since .he days of
Judah p Benjamin. He is a southern man
by birth, in all of his sympathies and as
pirations. and in all of his cha-acterist'cs.
And he is democrat. But he refuses 10
support the Chicago ticket. The Chicago
platform, to him, appears as the sum OF all
unsoundness. He can see nothing that rs
democratic in 1t. He counsels his people TO
have none of it. He asks then, 10 assist in
its rejection at the polls in the interest OF
the party as well as of the country.
In the attitude of these two men is TO be
found one of the strongest criticisms CT the
Chicago coalition. The Bryan lid, in its
last and best analysis, is nothing but p1o
for votes. And. like most maneuEers OF
that description, it goes too far. 1t prom

No More Secret Divorces.

The Judges of the District Supreme Court
have done the proper thing in ordering
discontnuance of the custom of withhold
ing papers in divorce suits from publicatio
The Star has frequently called attention to
the uselessness and the danger OF this
mode of procedure, which has never had
the force of an order of court but was at
best only a practice that had grown up
from the courteses extended by the clerks
of court to certain attorneys. While there
may be personal sensibilitieS spared by the
rule of secrecy, yet there are decided dis
advantages to pay for the supposed immu-
nifty from public scrutiny of private affairs
thereby secured There may be occasional
case5-presumably rare-in which more
good than harm results from secret pro-
ceedingS, and for these the new order
makes provision. ii being left to the discre-
ton of the court, which can safely be
trusted, whether there shall be publica ton
of the papers not. The general practice
of keeping secret the details and causes Of
action in all divorce suits, except such
cases as those just mentioned, having been
abandoned the unhappy parties to such pro-
ceedings can confidently trust to all re-
spectacle journals to publish only such
facts the interests of the community re-
quire to be printed. Thus the stifed curl
csity of leaders with an unwholesome taste
for the details of the msfortunes Of others
will no longer be forced into the realm Of
imagination to supply the generally inno-
cent particulars of each divorce suit filed in
court. Suppression leads to suspicion and
sometimes the old rule of secrecy operated
10 blight regulations without the shadow
of excuse.

Colorado and Louisiana are put dawn In

cratic returns And yet those states sapply

and most attractive champions.
Senator Wolcott is western man in all
