Street Cleaning Estimates.

Superintendent Suffers estimates for
the street sweeping department may strike
the committees of Congress, should they
be approved by the Commissioners, as
somewhat extravagant. But they seem to
be based upon actual conditions and neces-
sites They represent not only the present
state of cleanliness to which the capital
has been brought, but the ideal state
toward which the District is ever tending.
The superintendent reports that at present
about one-thrd of the streets are cleaned
only once week, one-third of them twice
q week and the other third daily, by hand.
II is apparent after a survey of the streets
that this schedule does not suffice. Mr..
Stutler thinks that nearly all the streets
should be cleaned daily, and the rest ct
least three times week. Washington
ought to be and can be made the cleanest
city in the world But it will cost money
to dc it. 1t has the pavements to permit
as thorough system as that in vogue in
Berlin, where street filth is practically I'M
known. A daily service along the most
used thoroughfares will give such results
as the character of the city demands. Rep
resentatives and senators do not always
fully appreciate the necessities. 1t requires
persistent education on the part of the
local authorities and the citizens to evolve
the duty they owe to the capital. And so
Ii may be that an increase of ever forty
per cent in the estimates will cause them
to exclaim at what they may sincerely be-
Geve to be extravaganza, but which is
merely far-sighted economy The develop
mont Of the capital ought to progress uni
for'nly. More and purer water should be
supplied AT the same time the streets
should be extended and the sewer system
developed and modernzed. Meanwhile
there should be advancement toward the
institution of methods which prevent dirty
streets. 1t will not do to hold one project
IHtfl another is completed The street
cleaning system can be brought to perfec-
ton while the streets are being extended
and the sewers are being constructed and
the water supply is being increased and
filtered. Other projects can be pressed at
the same time. And of these none is more
important than the effort to ensure cleanli-
ness

The decision of the Union Veterans
Union to assemble in Washington next year
follows the natural inclination of all
national organizations to consider the capt.
tai as their proper meeting place. The rea-
for drawing the various veteran
groups to this city are specially potent.
Here are located the symbols of the prin-
ciples for which these men have fought
Here are the relics Of the war, here the
officials who stand for the machinery which
the sacrifices of the soldiers preserved.
Washington will welcome the Union Vete-
rams Union heartily and will surely main
tain the reputation which it has gained as
the ideal convention city Of America

A COntradi ton From Manila.

From the Manila Freedom.
In an evil hour the National Waterman
of Washington. D. c., walls forth:
This is not war our part to main
tain national existence or to repel any at
tack or our authority we are wholly the
aggressors. with no excuse that we can
urge for that aggression but greed and
plumber, that We can make by getting the
Philippines"
The National Waterman cannot deal
with questions regarding the Philippines
without absolutely sighting truth and ex-
alting falsehood.
This is a war to repel an attack on our
authority. We were not the aggressors
and had the Filipinos waited until we were
there would be no war in these islands to-
day, except that which has always been
waged between and among the many tribes
that claim the Philippines as their birth
right. The United States authorities could
not have acted other than they have done
without laying themselves liable to the
charge of cowardice, and without becom-
ing hiss and a byword in the mouth of
every nation on earth; and this is no doubt
what the National Waterman would like
to see.

Gloom in store for Copperhead..
nm the 81 Inuis CIote.Democrat

From the st. Louis Globe Democrat
The feelings of the copperheads as they
read of the preparations in this country to
stamp out the rebellion promptly must be
about gloomy those of their friend
Aguinaldo. The ten regiments already filled
are rapidly getting into shape to aid the
veterans of Otis army when the word for
the general advance comes at the close of
the rainy season. The ranks of the ten
regiments authorized a few days ago will
probably be filled by the latter part of Sep
TENDER. Otis will have three times as many
effective men with him by February next
at the latest as he had at the opening Of
last February, when the war began. These
preparations to stamp out Aguinaldo are
calculated to have a depressing influence
on Atkinson, Bryan, Garrison and the rest
of the Aguinaldists.
