The storm and the Sewers.

SATURDAYS storm gave additional evidence
of the folly of piecemeal sewer construc-
ton. Some years ago a commission OF
competent engineers prepared plan of
comprehensive sewer extensions and addi-
tions calculated to relieve the city of i'm
mediate menaces and to provide measur-
ably for future growth. The course of
prudence would have been to adopt the
scheme as d whole and to give 1t practical
form with only such delay as the physical
nature of the work imposed. But Congress
adopted the opposite policy of executing the
project in detail, with the result that to-
day, after several years of waiting and par
tial construction. the citys sewers still
Inadequate to meet sudden demands, and
relief is not close at hand. OF course, with
even the most elaborate system of drain
age there might come storms so severe that
the sewers could not possibly carry off the
water. Perhaps Saturdays visitation was
such a storm Yet it would even then be
a comfort to reflect that the community
had been provided with the best possible
facilities for coping with emergencies and
that it was beyond human power to strive
further to avert visitations Of Providence.
The man whose basement was flooded
Saturday afternoon. the merchant whose
stock was ruined the citizen who was iso-
lated by water in Venice-like thorough
fares may now with reason demand that
the city be given as quickly as possible the
very best mode of protection against sewer
freshets. The indignation Of the sufferers
from Saturdays storm Is natural They
recall statements of the inadequacy Of the
old sewer system of this city and measure
the slow steps that have been taken to
replace 1t with more efficient system. and
they mentally, at least, charge their losses
and anxiety caused by the storm to the
policy of detailed construction which has
prevailed in Congress for many sessions.

flower of humanity! Fancy the Beers COM
ing here and applying Immediately for
privileges which they had denied to Ameri-
cans in the Transvaal! Fancy their help
ing to apply principles here for the pur-
pose of saving this country which because
OF their refusal to apply them at home
had cost them the control of their own
country! Fancy the builders and sup
porters of an oligarchy becoming in the
twinkling of an eye the hope and stay of a
real republic!
1t would hardly be fair in a season of
political storm and stress to pin even a
candidate for the first Office in the land
down to the hard pan of fact and the sober
expressions of experience. Some leeway
is allowable for eloquent speculation and
prophecy. And in Mr. Bryan's case we
have a man exceptionally well qualified to
indulge himself in flights of fancy. But
surely Mr.. Bryan need not go so far afield
for topics with which to rally his sup
porters. The man who advocates a fifty
cent dollar. who wants the government to
possess itself of all public utilities. who
believes in the initiative and referendum,
and along all lines is headed for an early
advocacy of an elaborate state socialism,
need not go off on this Boer tangent. He
already has topics enough to keep lively
imagination busy.

sin THE Enemy.s Country

The democrats of New York seem deter
mined that their state shall continue to he
the enemys country SO far as Mr.. Bryan
ard his policies are concerned. 1t is of
little moment what they say or do at their
state convention tomorrow. The record is
made up, and if every feature of il had
been carefully calculated 10 antagonize the
whole Rryanite crusade the result would
not be different from what it is.
Item, Despite the noise of Tammany Hall
and of a few eccentric men scattered over
the state. the New York democrats OPP
posed 10 free silver. They cannot be con-
verted to cheap money They are for the
gold standard. for the currency bill passed
by this Congress. and for any further legis-
lation that may be necessary to keep the
bars up against a ffty-ce1t dollar. All
the phrase-making in the world cannot hide
this fact. 1t shows like light hill.
Item: While Mr.. Bryan is railing against
trusts, and tracing their origin TO the pro-
tective tariff and locating all the stock IN
the pockets of bloodsucking republicans,
leading New York democrats organize
trusts which have no earthly relation 10
the tariff and operate them so boldly and
oppressively that other democrats attack
and expose them. The disclosures in the
case of the American Ice Company show
not only offenses against public policy but
offenses against common honesty. And
Tammany Hall, with this as with other
things. is smrched from top to bottom
Item: While Mr.. Bryan is railing against
government by injunction" and charging
that republicans are the sole offenders here
come these New York democrats, and. in
an effort to shield a lot of democrats who
have been caught red-handed in the trust
business. invoke by injunction the powers
or the supreme court of the state. And
they find ready for their purposes demo-
cratic judge, who issues the injunction.
ard by so doing plays into the hands of the
trust people. He applies without hesitation
this hidcous principle which, according to
MIR. Bryan, had its origin in republican
councils and helps to mark the progress
the country has made under republican rule
toward sheol and destruction.
Is this design. simply accident? Are
these New York democrats playing Me-
phisto's game? While soothing the sage
brush Faust with personal compliments.
are they preparing him for damnation at
the polls? Or they merely operating
along the old wel-worn lines of everyday
selfish human nature? But 1t is a fact
that. for Mr.. Bryans welfare they are cut
ting too much ice.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1900-06-04

Mr.. Bryan is quoted as saying in reply to
an interrogatory:
The Beers are Industrious and intelIi-
gent. and have shown themselves lovers
of liberty. IL they lose their fight for in
United States. l wish they could come
soon enough 10 help save this country
from the Imperialism that is driving them

thousands OF our people besides
Il wish there were more of them in this
country. They could well take the place
of good many republicans who believe in
the imperialistic policy of Great Britain"
This sort of claptraD is beneath Mr..
Bryan's ability and position. 1t is calcu-
lated to sink his campaign for the presi-
dency 10 the level of pothouse blather

Will They PnSS.

Three worthy local projects stand walt
ing at the gate of legislative enactment
The public demand for their passage IS
loud and earnest. Each has a record
which warrants prompt action. Each rep
resents q need, already recognized IN part
by Congress. Each requires the expendi-
tire of only a slight degree of activity on
the part of the Jealous friends OF WASH
ington in Congress to give it permanent
form as law The question asked by the
cauital in these last few days of the pres
ent session is: Will they pass?
One of these projects is the Memorial
bridge whose ultimate construction has
been virtually pledged by Congress through
its past actions 1t is needed by the Dis
trict and by the state of Virginia. 1t Is
urged by considerations of patriotism and
by artistic interest in the national capt.
tai 1t is ready for immediate execution.
1t is required to afford proper opportunity
to the nation to commemorate the CEN
tenary of the establishment of the seat of
government at Washington Will the
House ignore these facts and force the
Senate to recede from its amendment to
the sundry civil bill. thus relegating the
bridge to the uncertain future?
The second of these waiting projects Is
the bill to provide code of laws for the
District long needed and now prepared by
competent hands and already approved by
the House. The proposed code is de-
manded by Il large majority of the people
of Washington who are in the least affected
by the legal processes. 1t will place the
capital on a rational working basis as re-
CARDS its statutory law. VIII the Senate
forget this worthy item in its rush toward
adjournment?
The third of the waiting projects is the
bill to incorporate a telephone company. in
order to grant relief to a community long
mulcted The House has passed the bill
and the Senate committee has reported it
without recommendation. Already Con-
gress has condemned the extortionate rates
charged by the existing company. but its
enactment has been ignored, and the peo-
pie. save far the prospect of the pass
age of the pending bill affords relief, are
worse off than ever. For they have seen
