An Undcrstnn ding as to Garbage.

The Star has 10 reason for being dis
Jatisfled with the results of its investiGa-
jon into the methods pursued by the con-
tractor who collects and disposes of the
city's garbage. The interesting news chap
ter published last Saturday gave to the
Commissioners and the health officer proof
positive that garbage-scows were habitually
being unloaded within the limits of the
District of Columbia; information which
seems to have been regarded by the au-
thorities as surprising. Yesterday the
garbage contractor came to the front with
a somewhat remarkable statement aver
Jig that he had not Intentionally offended
ia the matter of garbage disposition; that
he supposed 1t was all right to get rid of
the stuff by sale whenever and wherever
he could. The result is an unmistaka able
understanding between the health officer
and the contractor. The real remedy, how
ever, is not in the shipping of the city's
refuse to some distant down-the-river point
but proper disposal either by incineration
Or reduction. The Commissioners last year
decided in favor of the destructive and
comparatively Improbable process the
process which practically encourages care
lessness as to collection-but even that has
not had fair opportunity to demonstrate
those things which have been claimed for
H. There has been extraordinary delay in
tEe essential matter of locating the garbage
crematories and as result but one of those
Institutions is in existence, whereas the
complete plant should long ago have been
In active operation. 1t is pleasing to know
that the free and unlimited distribution of
garbage within the District of Columbia is
Hcw definitely prohibited. but the astound-
Ing fact that the garbage contractor Is
being paid for comparatively expensive in
Generation while the bulk of the garbage is
cheaply and crudely and extensively re-
moved by scow and dumped on the banks
OF the Potomac affords ample opportunity
for well-founded criticism

Worth Studying.

ms Is an excellent time at which to do
anything that promises an increase of pa
triouc fervor- In the hurly-burly of DO
htlcal strife there is overmuch of selfish
ness and a consequent tendency toward ma
tionai carelessness. a decadence in that
truly national spirit which should. no mat
Ter what the sacrifice, be kept alive
throughout the entire republic The Daugh-
tiers Of the American Revolution have, for
several months past. been urging the
American people everywhere to a suitable
celebration of the centenary of Washing
toms farewell address. The idea is one to
which no exception can be taken. The
document to which attention will be es-
pecialiy directed next Saturday is one de-
serving of careful study. During the one
hundred years that have passed into his
tory since the first President of the United
States penned his valedictory, conditions
have materially changed, but the soundness
of the advice he gave may not be ques-
Toned nor will 1t be argued that the prin-
ciples set forth therein are not applicable
to the things of to-day

Menace to Good Government.

one of the most difficult things any man
can attempt to do is to bring about the

would be punished for breaking and defy-

the Gay &C trial comes there invariably en-

There are times when the science Of pro-
fessicnal ethics Is far beyond the reach of
the popular intellect. Just now the Royal
College OF Surgeons of England is much
stirred up as to the election of its presi-
dent The famous Christopher Heath was
president last year, and in the ordinary
course Of events would have been reelected
without the slightest friction. But DR..
Heath has accepted an invitation to deliver
a course Of lectures in this country and
was willing party to arrangements which
contemplate his financial reimbursement
for expenses incurred. Hypercritical men,
bers OF the college declare that DR.. Heath
has degraded his Office by planning to re-
ceive ps in return for his dissemination of
valuable facts incidental to the practice of
surgery. 1t Is not likely that members of
an American institution would proceed to
such length as do the many English sur
geons who are now engaged in condemning
President Heath, but there is, even in this
land Of the free, altogether too much of
Lonsense grouped under the head of PRO
fessional ethics" Under present condi-
ticns no medical or surgical practitioner
Is viewed by the great body of his profess
sional brethren as in good standing If he
IS an avowed advertiser; the Doctor
whether he be reliable expert or quack-
steps outside the pale of professional recog-
milton by these practitioners just as soon
as he makes formal appearance in the COL
umns of newspaper or magazine. 1t is
all right. though. for him to secure all pos
sible admission into the news columns of
the dailies. He may seek a reporter or a
city editor in order to make sure that his
name Is correctly spelled and mentioned
with sufficient frequency in connection with
any case in which the public may at that
time happen to be particularly interested.
The ethical idea boiled down amounts
therefore to nothing more than the logical
conclusion that advertising which Is not
paid for is all right, but that advertising
which Is properly placed at advertising
rates is scandalously unethical.

Maine.

The result in Maine. while properly placed
In the republican column, is yet of a COM
posite nature The republican party alone
could not have achieved 1t, and both
Speaker Reed and Mr.. Manley confess very
handsomely to the fact. Democrats who
stayed at home, refusing to vote at all;
democrats who voted for Mr.. Clifford, the
national democratic candidate for COVER
nor, and democrats who went to the polls
and voted the republican ticket, all share
with the republicans in the credit of the
achievement. But none the less-maybe
because Of its composite nature-the re-
suit Is most pronounced triumph for the
republican cause In this campaign. Maine
rejects free silver and an emasculated ma
tional authority. and declares for sound
money and vigorous rational existence.
What will be the effect on Mr.. Sewalrs
candidacy? 1t simply emphasizes what
was already thoroughly well known. Mr..

The small boy had been requested to do

happened to call he felt the boys pulse
and looked at his tongue, and said:

the mother.
