HOW ABOUT GARBAGE2

The more the garbage matter is dis
cussed, the more pronounced becomes
the general expression against taking
the work out Of the hands Of the Board
of Health.
Removal and destruction of garbage
is altogether a sanitary work. II it
were not deleterious to health garbage
would be allowed to accumulate, and
its removal would be a mere matter Of
convenience. The object of scavenger
work is to guard against disease by re-
moving filth offal and refuse that by
decomposition and putrefaction charge
the atmosphere with disease-spreading
germs. Such work is in no sense and
in no measure political. It is wholly
sanitary and properly devolves exclu-
sively upon the health department Of a
city.
When this work is transferred from
the health department to a political
body the public can discern but one OBJ
iect-reward Of contractors and en-
ployes for political services. That is
all right when there is no increased
cost. Wilmington garbage is now
handled economically. and there is lit
tie chance. indeed, that the proposed
change could or would effect any saw
ing. On the contrary. the chances are
entirely the reverse. The only extrava-
CANT features Of the present system ap.

That portion Of the work that is man,

ours, however, that the crematory, BY
inability TO dispose Of the garbags
when collected, stops collections en-
tirely. This would not be at all likel,
to occur il the crematory was controll

There is only one improvement thai
the City Council can effect in the gar

tary question that confronts all muni-

In all other progressive cities. it should
be placed in the hands OF the depart

TREAT FoR BRIrIsHERs.

We have had messenger boys sent
across the ocean with love tokens and
bank books, and we have heard of Miss
MacTavish's efforts to import terrapin
and canvasback duck into Rome for a
Lenten festival says the Philadelphia
Times, but not before this week have
we heard Of a direct order from Eng
laid for specific American gastronomic
dainties to be sent and served at a
specific English function. The dainties
are those same oanvasbacks and dia-
mond backs and the order comes from
Sir Arthur Gest in London TO Laurence
Mccormick at the Bellevue. 1t asks
that so many prime and prop
er canvasback ducks and so
many succulent diamond backs.
accompanied by a chef, be sent across
the ocean to be served at party which
Sir Arthur intends giving at the end of
January. Party giving in Philadelphia
has scarcely reached this pitch Few
even dream of sending 3. 900 miles for a
particular delicacy and fewer still ever
dream Of having a cook sent along to
serve the Wand properly. Some time
ago Sir Arthur was in America. He
visited Philadelphia. ate of the deli
cious and juicy bird from the celery
fields of the South. and of the delicate
terrapin, and was properly enchanted.
The heavy pastys Of game. the jugged
hare and populated saddles of venison
Of Britain were fine. but there were
new sensations for the palate in Ameri-
can ducks and tortoise And so at the
end Of January he viii give his guests

fore, and one which viii In all proba-
bility heighten the popularity and ex-
tend the acquaintance of two of the

THURSDAY. DEC IA, 1899

A business man said the other day
that frequently people who want to
buy don't know what TO buy" That is
a common complaint at this time of
year. when people have money to spend
for Christmas gifts and cannot decide
how to use It to advantage. Convinc-
ing advertisements help them to decide
what they want and also bring more
business to the advertisers.
Evening journal., 1899-12-14

The Evening Journal is a thorough
believer in the wisdom Of machine poll
tics-by which it means organized poll
tics; an organization for political
work; absolute and hunhindered cintrol
of public affairs by the party in power;
administration Of all public offices and
functions by adherents OF the majority
party; enjoyment of the honors and
emoluments Of all offices, great and
small, by those in sympathy with the
prevailing party which is responsible
for the system for which the majority
voted. But this by no means contem-
plates any methods that will increase
the cost OF government, or in any
measure detract from the efficiency OF
service. The public good is the object
to be attained, not political reward. In
both parties can be found men Of in
tegrity possessed Of abilities for eff
cient discharge Of all public duties,
and no party should be required to en-
trust the work II has to do to enemies
OF the party having the work 10 do

FEVER AMONG STUDENTS

CHESTER MILITARY ACADEMY
CLOSED TO PREVENT SPREAD
OF DISEASE.
Chester advices are to the effect that
the Pennsylvania Military Academy
which has an enrolment of $50 stu
dents, from all parts of the country, is
temporarily closed to avoid the possi-
bility of a spread of scarlet fever
among the students. Cadet Kuhn has d
mild attack of the disease and there is
a probability of another cadet being
afflicted.
On the advice of the academy sur
geon, DR.. William B. Ulrich, the COM
mandant, Colonel Charles E. Hyatt
deemed it advisable 10 close the insti.
tuition until after the Christmas holi-
days, which terminate on January 10
1900, and the cadets were sent to their
homes Tuesday night and yesterday.
In the meantime the academy build
ings and premises will be thoroughly

NO GREATER RISK.

We think Harry Wallace, who was
found guilty Of murder in the second
degree. got off easy. His attorneys
have applied for new trial, which the
court should grant by all means. The
next jury might bring q verdict in
keeping with the crime. II the pris-
oner knows when he Is we'll Off, he will
accept the verdict and not apply for o

There could not be a conviction for a
greater crime than that for which he
was convicted on the first trial There
fore he has nothing to lose by second

as an acquittal on the charge Of muir
