has devoted a vast sum to this end, with
such excellent effect that the demand for
more continues In increasing volume, A
single instance suffices to show how valua-
BILE are these breathing spaces. Old Null
berry Bend, one of the most noisesome and
degraded neighborhoods in the metropolis
has been transformed into a beautiful,
pleasure and life-giving park, vastly to the
Improvement Of both the health and the
morals of the vicinity.
Washington has suffered somewhat In the
past through just such inyasions of the
park principle that for which Mr.. Pow
ers commended. The present bill proposes to
legalize the title of the railroad to squat
ter sovereignty over slice Of one of the
largest and most beneficial Of the parks and
to more than double that holding. In other
cases the government has parsimoniously
forced the occupation of park spaces by
buildings for which separate sites should
have been provided. The struggle here Is
not to 'assimilate" park lands, but to pre-
vent their absorption for purposes which
involve a breach by the government of the
trust upon which these reservations are
held for the public use and enjoyment.
There is no Indictment possible against
Washington's appreciation and use of the
parks which have been preserved The
great Smithsonian reservation is blessing
to the people. In the warmer months 1t is
occupied at all hours Of the day by hum
dreds finding therein rest and refreshment.
The great area permits cleansing of the
city's vitiated atmosphere. The trees and
grass are life-giving
Rock Creek Park represents an effort to

MIR. Cleveland and the south.

1t Is worthy Of note that curiosity as to
Mr.. Cleveland's views and performances is
more easily gratitied when manifested In
and around Atlanta, Georgia. than in any
other quarter of the country. Recently, af-
ter denying a number of people, Mr. Cleve-
land gave to the Atlanta Journal an inter-
view on the democratic duty of the hour:
and now. in order to settle d local dispute
on the subject. he tells the same newspaper
that he did not vote for Mr.. Mckinley last
month. The dispute probably arose out of
the fact that few days prior to the cleo
ton Mr.. Cleveland left Princeton and ii
reported he was on his way in company
with one of his millionaire friends to his
favorite hunting grounds on the south At
lantic coast. That, however. proved to be
a mistake. He returned home in time to
vote, and his visit to the polls was duly de-
scribed. Since then some entirely natural
interest has attached to Mr.. Clevelanu's
ballot. For whom was it cast? Not for
Mr.. Mckinley. as he himself declares. Ard
Of course. not for Mr.. Bryan, whom he does
not accept as being a democrat. Then for
whom? But is it in order to press the point
SO far?
Why is Atlanta so favored in this regard
Not solely. we may believe, because it is
Smith is q Cleveland man, earnest, uu-
changing. Interchangeable. But so is the Hon
Don NJ. Dickinson of Detroit, and so is the
Hon. W. F. Villas of Madison Wisconsin,
Why has this southern city been selected
over those two thriving northwestern cities
as the distributing point for news Of such
wide interest? Is Mr.. Cleveland making
up to the south again? Is it his calcula-
w han ha a-ip
the way for his third nomination in 1892
that the south holds the key to the situation?
And if he can succeed in displacing Mr.
Bryan in the south's affections will his
chances for the democratic nomination in
1904 be good?
Here is where the Atlanta date line comes
in. Atlanta is probably the best known of
all the southern cities. Its newspapers are
enterprising and widely read. Their special
news as to him, therefore. IS certain Of d
large circulation throughout that whole
section of the country. All of them are not
friendly to his aspirations, but that is not
material at this time. He is anxious to
reach southern readers. and all of them as
sist him to that end.
Is 1t useless for Mr.. Cleveland to turn to
the south for support after all ,ha- has
happened?' When it comes to politics the
south is very tickle and very sentimental
She has never in her bitterest moments re-
viled Mr.. Cleveland as she had for years re-
viled Horace Greeley, nor with half the cause.
And yet she supported Mr.. Greeley when
she thought there was hope of winning
with him. Give her the hope IF Winning
with Mr.. Cleveland again, and may she not
be expected to support him again? Mr.
Cleveland himself evidently thinks 50.

among several extraordinary sentiments
expressed during the debate in the House
last week over the railroad grade crossing
bills was the dictum OF Mr.. Powers of
Vermont that Washington has already too
many parks. thereby seeking to excuse
the railroad spoiia ton Of the Mall and of
Garfield Park. Even more surprising than
the original statement. however, is that or
the New York Times. which in the course
of its Washington correspondence prints
the following paragraph in apparent ap-
prevail of Mr.. Powers remark
Mr. Powers shares the opinions of others
that already there are more parks than
Washington can occupy or assmilate.
Much of what is included in the Smith
sonian reservation is put To no particular
use. 1t Is not a great pleasure resort, and
be a spacious breathing place. Rock Creek
Park secured by the government several
years ago, * stu a wild raVine of some
2 0O0 acres, inaccessible, for the most part,
to all but the most adventurous climbers
Such parks as Franklin Lafayette, Lin
coin. Garfield and the many small reserva-
lions at the intersections of streets at right
angles and the radiating avenues, are the
most generally used parks.
The fight in this case was for the preser-
walton Of the principle which animated the
founders OF Washington when they planned
"a capital with generous park spaces, breath
Ing places for a future population. As a
result OF that principle fairly well OBJ
served in the years OF the city's develop
ment. Washington stands today pre-emi-
nent among beautiful, healthful communi-
ties. SO marked has been the beneficial
effect of this practice of thus leaving open
wide areas that other cities have taken
tardy steps toward providing ampler park
spaces than were planned by their found
ers or permitted by their builders, and are
spending many millions in cofldsmning lands,
destroying Improvements and laying out
areas for the public comfort. New York

Dust as a Cause of Disease,
~, fha Nou Nark

People who complain of the dust and dirt
which are allowed to accumulate ON the
city streets because they soil lace curtains
and make life uncomfortable do not do the
subject Justice 1t is the testimony Of the
physicians of Chicago that the present
prevalence Of grip and other similar dis
eases Is due to the dust storms which pre-
vailed during the early part of last week
Because the streets were not kept reason
ably clean, as they should have been, dust
and disease germs accumulated in the gut
tiers, waiting only favoripg gust Of wind
to spread contagion far and wide. Sooner
or later, 1t may be taken for granted, peo-
pie Will wake up to the fact that their in
terest in proper municipal government Is
mere than a merely sentimental one.

If the Havana Times Is correct In esti-
mating the Cuban sugar crop at 1.000, OOU
tons it is evident that this industry has
been completely restored to its old-time
prosperity. those figures indicating the an
nual average yield before the war. During
the conflict the output fell as low as $50 ,OOl
tons per year. and. owing to the destruc-
ton of many plantations it was feared that
long period must elapse before the indus
try regained its former proportions. If the
figures of our Havana contemporary are
correct. however. 1t is plain that the sugar
interest is fourish!ng vigorously as ever
and that means that the other industries of
the island are prospering with it

Detention Camp at Kalihi for White
People-City Mill Spared-No Mer-
chandise From Chinatown.

At the meeting of the Board of Health
yesterday afternoon a request from the
Wilder steamship Company to be al
lowed to lay off their steamer Kinau
during the period of quarantine was
granted. The captain, mate and quar-
termaSter only are to be retained on
board. The other men will be trans
ferred to other vessels. This action is
taken on account of the troubles the
company has met with at Hilo in land
ing freight and passengers, it not being
desirable to continue such experiences
On account of the threatening wealth
er of last night the steamship compa-
MES were permitted to anchor their YES
sells in quarantine inside of the har-
Dor.
Messrs. ThurstOn and Carter were au-
thOrized to proceed with the work of
construction detention barracks near
the Kalihi camp for the accommodation
of white people from infected districts.
1t was voted to omit the City Mill
Company from the list of property in
the block at Kekaulike and Queen
streets condemned some days ago, both
building and machinery being new
1t was decided to proceed to drain the
pool of water on the YOuman's land at
Queen and River streets at the expense
of the owner, no attention having been
paid to the condemnation order of the
Board.
President Wood ruled that no mer-
chandise of any description should be
removed from Chinatown. It should be
fumigated and then stored within the
district.
The Board decided not to occupy the
queen hotel nor any house within the
CITY Tor quarantine purposes. AS soon
as the houses at Kalihi are completed
the Boardmans and others will be NOV
ed to that place.
Mr.. Lydecker's report on hacks, buss-
es and street cars was approved. Buss-

Hacks will be disinfected and the mats
removed for the present. The street
cars stopped running at o'clock yes
