DANGER
HOLES.

than once, but with n perSistency worthy of
a better cause, the commissioners have
failed to give the matter the attention
it should have had long ago. Some very
fine pavements, of course, have been
laid on side w alks in some of the principal
streets bordering upon Pennsylvania ave-
nue. and also in the West End, but the
side walks throughout the town, generally
speaking, are in a shochngly neglected
condition. The commissioners cannot
plead the excuse that their attention has
not been called to it Officially for hardly
a month passes in which they do not re-
ceiye complaints about the sidewalks.
Now the police have reported several pos
lively dangerous spots. some of which, If
not promptly attended to, may cause iu-
juries which will lay the foundation for
damage suits against the District. Thou
sands of dollars have already been paid
out on this account; enough, perhaps, to
put one-half of the side W alks OF the town
in proper Trim.
There is no use in denying or conccalinE
the fac that Washington has full as much
reason to be ashamed of its sidewalks
as it has TO be proud Of its driveways.
There is probably no city in the country
that is not its superior in this particular.
The reason for this condition it would be
hard to find, for surely it is no more diff
ficult to obtain the appropriations ncces-
sary for this purpose than for driveways.
Nor is the labor involved greater or requires
more skill On the other hand, it would
seem that the thousands upon thousands
walks than of the asphalt pavements are
entitled to some consideration. They are
taxpayers just as well as the others, and
theircomf ort, t,convenienceands safety should
receive due consideration.

THE
POSTAL
SERVICE.

POSTAL ldClhutS Oh
every description and Of the cheapening
of postage the revenues of the department
have nearly kept pace with the eXpendi-
lures. This fact furnishes the strongest
possible argument in favor Of those
who have always contended that cheap
ening the service will increase the rev.
enues. Allowance must also be made, of
course. for the growth of population; yetie
is safe to say that statistics will show
that cheaper postage and enlarged mail
facilities have been the chief factors in
swelling the income of the Postoffice De-
partment. Itmakes, likewise, a still strong
er argument for the introduction of one
GENT postage, the extension of the free
delivery system and the utmost possible
Improvement of the whole mail service.
There is no money spent for the support
Of the government on account of which the
people express less dissatisfaction. Fault
has sometimes been found with legislative
niggardlincss in this respect, but never
with excessive liberality.
Whenever a movement has been made in
Congress to improve the postal service or to
reduce postage, a number Of alleged states
men and economists have upended them
selves and raised howl that there would
be deficit in the account. Experience has
shown, no owever, thatsuch improvements and
| reductions, while temporarily, perhaps, max
ing a wider gap between the credit and
debit sides Of the ledger, ultimately came
nearer balancing them. The deficit. for
instance, was much larger when three
cent postage ruled than now. In fact, SO
small deficit as 81 ,2ss, 900 has never
been known, and there is little doubt that
it would be wiped out entirely in a year
or two, and the balance would show on the
right side of the ledger if one-cent postage
were to be established.
Besides, there cannot be too strong a pro-
test or remonstrance against the fallacy
that the Postoffice Department should be
self-supporting more than any other Why
should not the government pay for the
peoples business convenences just as well
as for their defense or for the many other
things for which money is appropriated
every year. The expenditure OF money
for the mail service is perfectly compre-
hensible to the most ignorant. Few other
government disbursements are.
