The Complaint Against MIR. Evans.
To the Editor Of The Evening Star:

The Complaint Against MIR. Evans.
To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
l have not the time, nor you probably
the space this morning to answer III. s.
specious communication in yesterdays Star
over the administration of the pension
laws. A couple of brief. plain questions
WILL I think, direct the attention Of think
ing men toward the heart of the matter.
l. How does it come that methods and
practices which were vehemently and
righteously denounced by republican poll
conventions-in 1888 "a 1905, become en-
tirely right and praiseworthy in 1S97-'9S-
90?
@ A candidate for office, Mr. Evans join
ed in this denunciation Of his predecessors
VIM. Lochren-ideas and methods Does
his receipt of his share of the rich usu.
fruct of the result at the polls Immediately
transform what had previously been intol-
erably bad into something eminently just
and righteous? Does the mere substitu-
ton of III. Clay Evans, commissioner"
for 'Wm. Lochren'' change in the twink
ling Of an eye-"opera ex operata," as the
churchmen used to say of baptism, things
unendurably evil into sweet and gracious
benefactiOns?
This is the whole matter in a nutshell.
Not one of the promises of 1896 have been
carried out in the amelioration of the con-
ditions in the pension bureau. Rather,
those conditions have been more grtevOusly
harsh This too, while the veterans and
their aged widows havesgrown much older,
much more necessitous,' much more deserv-
ing of help.
The imminent danger. to the republican
party is that, soured at such treatment,
they and their sons land sons-in-law, to a
number much in excess OF 100000 may
sullenly remain at home, and let the re-
publican party get along as best it can
without them. JOHN McELROY.

AFFAIRS IN s@GEORGETOWN
The Prevalence Of niphtheria Attributed to
1nsanitaE Conditions
The Disease Less Severe Than 1t Was
ON Former Oecasions-
Geneaa1 News.

According to the. statement Of we'll
known physician, who has perhaps ma
jority of the cases Of diphtheria in George
town under treatment, the disease is not sc
severe as 1t proved to be year or SO ago.
There are at present, he says, about twen-
ty-four cases of the disease in town, and
the majority of the patients are Gonzales
cent. The number of fatalities recorded are
unusually small in proportion to the total
number OF cases, but this decrease in the
death rate Is said to be due to the more
scientific methods Of battling with the dis
ease.
The cases seemed to be in one or two
localities. The prevalence Of the disease
is attributed to the insanitary conditions
which exist. On some of the streets the
grade Is so slight, it is said, that the gut
tiers do not carry off the waste water, but
permit 1t to collect in pools and become
stagnant. In some cases the lack Of san
itary appliances in the household Is held
responsible.
Condition of Hospital Patients.
Abraham Reingold, the young Hebrew,
who attempted to commit suicide about two
months ago at Rosslyn, Va, is still at
Georgetown University Hospital. This
morning his condition was reported to be
about the same. The young man is still
critically i'll.
The condition Of Brooke Moberly, the
young man who was SO severely injured
yesterday morning at the, Consumers brew
cry, at Rosslyn, as stated in The Star, was
reported to be resting very well, with
good prospects Of his recovery.
Largest Barge in Port.
Mr. A. Geary johnson finished today I'M
loading at his Georgetown wharf the barge
Virginia, the largest of its kind that has
ever reached Washington. The cargo of
the barge consisted Of $40 tons of coal. ship
ped from Perryville, Md. on the Susque-
hanna river just opposite Havre de Grace
1t is the largest barge that was ever loaded
al that point, being towed down the Chesa-
peake bay with several others and up the
Potomac to this city.
Escape From Drowning.
Randolph Eaton, a white man employed
on the canal boat William B. Orme, which
is lying in the waterway near the Aque-
duct bridge went on the craft yesterday
afternoon about o'clock somewhat under
the influence of liquor He lost his balance
and fell overheard. 1t was with some diff1-
Guilty that he was rescued, and he was
nearly dead when taken from the water.
The patrol wagon was summoned to convey
him to the hospital, but by the time 1t
reached the scene he had almost recovered
from the effects of his bath and was per-
mitted to remain with friends on the boat.
