One side of the governments direct in
terest in the project of cleaning out the
Anacostia flats is set forth forcibly by the
superintendent of the hospital for the in
sana in his report which was given in
abstract in Saturdays Star. As DR.. God
ding says, it is far from being a new topic
and his recommendations that the flats
and marshes be drained and made whole
soma have been often repeated. Yet it is
one of his first duties, as he conceives and
as the public believes, to continue to pre-
sent the deplorable case from year to year
until the mastery inactivity" to which
he refers has been replaced by deeds And
the governments interest does not cease
when the case of ST. Elizabeth's is passed.
The army and the navy maintain establish
meats even more completely within the
malarial influence, sQuarely on the banks
of the miasmatic stream that fills the
neighboring air with disease germs. From
each of these places comes a frequent
note of protest, accompanied by statistics
from the hospital records showing that the
river tends to deplete the ranks OF the
able-bodied and to sap the strength and
energies of all classes of workers. The
governments duty toward DR.. Godding' S
charges is one of humanity. Its duty to-
ward its own employees at the navy yard
and the arsenal is selfish. Thus on one
side of the river a strong sentiment ap-
peals for action. while on the other econ

tr1besmen and if the troubles are caused
only by local conditions But she must
lace most serious campaign If the ameer

and their allegiance to the queen becomes
sorely strained. The declaration of holy
war, or even the refusal of the ameer to
intercede to recall the tribesmen to their
homes. will compel heavy importations of
troops into India. 1t is frequently stated
in dispatches from the east that the car

The sultan has already been accused of

Recent investigations conducted by the
members of ,he bicycle police squad con-
corning the speed of trains on the Metro
Iolitan railroad developed beyond dispute
the fact that the regulations governing
street car speeds in the city are being sys-
tematically violated. The maximum speed
allowed by the rules is twelve miles an hour
at any point 1t is now shown that on the 9th
street branch of this road this speed is
frequently doubled. and that the average
not below sixteen miles an hour. These
disclosures verify the public suspicion that
the regulations have been defied, and ii
now remains for the Commissioners to de-
eide whether they will undertake to
!orce the law as it stands or permit the
Excessive speeds to continue. The regula-
ZION was framed with due regard for the
ives OF the citizens IL was believed by
she authorities and acknowledged by the
railroad managers that twelve miles an
hour constituted the limit of safety In
the face of the present inquiries the Off
Gals CT the road declare that they will
seek to learn the identity of The men who
are thus violating the regulation and pun
ish them. This is absurd. 1t is apparent
from the reports of the bicycle policemen
which not questioned by the railroad
company. that the regulation is violated by
practically all the motormen and IL il
known that the present schedule of the 9th
street line demands the high speeds that
have been thus noted in order that the
stated number of trips can be made by
each train in the day. The railroad COM
pany. in short. is seeking to run this branch

II is nonsensical for the company's rep

If carried out. would put burden on every
man who handles a controller on thai
piece of road. The company has practi-
cally put premium Illegal speeds by
establishing and maintaining the schedule

digit during the lifetime of the individual,
otherwise there would be no value in de-
termining the personal peculiarities. Then
it must be established that there is but an
infinitesimal fraction of a chance that one
persons imprint can be duplicated by an
other person. To prove this latter theory
researches have been conducted by scien-
fists and others, and it would appear to be
reasonably sure that the element of doubt
as to this point has been eliminated. OF
course, at best the fact of coincidence be-
tween the bloody thumb mark in Philadel-
phia and the thumb print of any person
would be merely circumstantial evidence
connecting that person with the crime.
But If there is such an agreement, while
other circumstances tend to show opportu-
nifty. motive and other elements in the
homicide, the thumbs testimony becomes
very strong in the light of the disclosures
of science. Yet the thumb print must re-
main corroborative test rather than a
direct clue to identity.

Employers and Strikers' Rights.
From the Chicago Record.


The employer, of course, has the right to
hire men where he can. 1t is not fair that
these men, when hired, should be driven
away by violence on the part OF the
strikers CT anybody else. The government
should punish the perpetrators of such
violence as it would punish persons COM
hitting any other like offensc against the
law. 1t is entirely within the right of the
employer, too, for him to forbid en-
trance upon his premises by strikers who
would persuade his workingmen 10 quit
But ii also ought to be recognized as en-
tirely competent for strikers to attempt to
induce the laborers at work to cease work
and associate with the union. If the strk-
ers can accomplish this object by peaceable
persuasion and appeals to reason they
should be allowed to do so without any in
reference whatever from the government.
In England, where labor organizations have
passed beyond the stage of violence, this
right Is recognized by the government and
''picketing, as it Is called, is sanctioned.
That is, the union. when fighting an en-
ployer, Is allowed to station 'pickets" lust
outside his premises. and try to induce the
workmen as they go to and from work to
join the strikers.
The attempt of employers to harass the
strikers with inJunctions from the courts in
carrying on such campaign is an attempt
to use the government in the interest of
one side as against the other The injunc-
ton ought not to be brought into the mat
ter at all. Its tendency is to take the ad-

The case of Mr.. Harrity of Pennsylvania
presents some interesting points He is the
representative of that state on the demo-
cratic national committee. Although a
sound money man. he was regularly chosen
for the place last year after the Chicag go
convention and the party stood committed
TO its free silver policy. Whether the
selection was predicated upon the hope that
as the campaign progressed Mr.. Harrity
would come around to his partys position,
as MIR. German, his neighbor and near asso-
ciate. did, is question. But 1t is certain
that MI Harrity did not obtain the place
through any misrepresentation on his own
part He had been a sound money man be.
fore the convention met. and despite the
declaration Of the convention, he was still
sound money man. He remains such to-
day. and does not deny Ii.

promise Is that the Chicago platform will
be reaffirmed and to go along with this II
has been suggested that Mr.. Harrity be de-
posed from his place on the national COM
mittee- The silver men, who control the
state organization. regard M. Harrity as
unrepresentative of the party in that place.
The party is for silver, and he is against
silver They demand, therefore, that he
give way for some man in thorough SYM
pathy with the party on that as on other
questions. There is some talk of taking
the sense of the coming convention by reso-
luton on the subject.
Mr.. Harrity earnestly protests against
the whole proposition. Primarily. he denies
the power of either the state convention
or the state committee to depose him from
the office of national committeeman. And
ne reasons very clearly on that point.
Then he asserts his right to be considered
democrat. He is not so happy on that
point. If Mr.. Bryan is a democrat, Mr.
Harr1ty Is hot. On the contrary, on both
the money issue and the tariff issue, Mr..
Harrity is very much nearer to Mr. Nc
kinley than he is to Mr.. Bryan. He is,
indeed, very good republican, as matters
now stand.
Why Mr.. Harrity is so anxious to retain
face of the criticism of the state organiza-
ton Is matter for conjecture. Pride, and
the spirit of good fighter may partly ex-
plain it, AS politician, Mr.. Harrity has
Tut one cheek. There is no such thing as
turning the other when he gets a lick.
Then he may feel, as some others do. that
the silver issue is losing ground; that the
party cannot come again strongly on a
