The Filtration Work.

The inquiry proposed in the House of Rep
resentatives the other day as to the present
status of the filtration plant in this city
Is calculated to produce good results For
some months there has been local feeling
that the work on this project was not pro-
crossing satisfactorily. The reports of the
army officers In charge have suggested that
the contractors were behind time and the
legal difficulties of the various contributors
to the plant have been subject Of general
comment. The public desire for prompt
completion has perhaps been responsible
for unfavorable comparisons between this
work and that which has more recently
been inaugurated on the new railroad ter
minal site. 1t would appear to an I'M
prejudiced mind that the latter enterprise
has been forwarded more eXpeditiousIy and
smoothly than that at the filtration plant.
Whether this has been due to better admin
istration or to better luck or to a more
fortunate selection of contractors can not,
of course. be determined off hand. But the
fact remains that for the time covered the
railroad work has been pressed ahead more
rapidly and smoothly than has that south
of the Soldiers Home Park. The formal
reply of the authorities to the Hoar resolu-
tons. 1t may not be within the power of
either the War Department or Congress to
remedy the ills disclosed, but certainly 1t Is
to be hoped that vivid expression of con-
gressional impotence will inject life into
the enterprise and put 1t a basis promis-
ing fairly quick results.

Rear Lights on Trolley Cars.

Two trolley cars came into collision Sat
urday evening near Hyattsville because one
Of them was not equipped with the rear
danger signal which is required specifically
to prevent just such an accident. This car,
having slipped its trolley, was standing
dead on the tracks. It's lamps were of
course not lighted. and the motorman of
the car in the rear was wholly unprepared
for the collision which resulted as he ran
his car ahead on what he supposed was a
clear track. Just why the rear-end guard
lamp was not burning or not in position
has not yet been explained. Doubtless the
authorities of the railroad company will
ascertain the facts for their own satistac-
ton and presumably measures will be taken
by them to prevent a recurrence CT the
careless omission. Thus incidentally the
public safety will be once more in a way
secured. But 1t would be far more to the
point If there had been such system OF
inspection and supervision over the cars
that no lapse from the rule had occurred.
The fact that only employees of the COM
pany were hurt in this particular crash
does not relieve the situation of it's grave
significance. The collision might just as
easily have occurred between two cars
crowded to the tenders, such as are fire.

Another Plot Against the "skeeter y

If a plan now under adyisement by the
authorities of the state of New Jersey Is
undertaken and proves successful, there
need be no regrets because the scheme of
oiling the marshes of that mosquito breed
ing commonwealth has not proved an entire
success. This project is to reclaim the
meadows or swamps which fringe the
northeastern coast of the state, In the VI
cinity of Newark. Jersey City and Staten
Island. At present these areas. computed
to contain fully 10000 acres. are productive
OF nothing more than much malaria and a
little very poor hay 1t is believed by an
engineer who has lately been working on
some old plans for draining the marshes
that through a series of pumping works
materials for filling in these tide-swept
acres can be secured close at hand, and in
stead of a vast space of practically worth
less half-submerged land the state will ac-
quire a body of substantial ground which
will furnish room for homes and factories.
The chief consideration held now In view
is the public health. but incidentally there
is a decided economic consideration In the
case, for the 10000 acres which It is esti--

Christmas Charity.

In these days before Christmas, when
practically everyone Is thinking in terms
of gifts to relatives and friends it is well
occasionally to pause and reflect that there
are many homes in this city which will be
absolutely without suggestion of Christ
mas cheer. Down In the slums, in the al
leys, are children whose only extra joys at
this time Of year are derived from their
occasional glimpses into the richly dressed
windows Of the stores The familiar pic
ture of shabby. shivering little girl stand
Ing in front of a show window, wherein is
displayed doll with other toys, is no fan
ciful exaggeration of the truth. It may be
encountered any day on some of the BUSH
ness streets of Washington. The fact that
many of the very poor of the capital are
negroes does not in the least change the
case. The poor colored children. are just as
appreciative of gifts as are the white
youngsters. There is no race line In Christ
mas joys and longings and appointments.
Ten cents put aside by every shopper dur
ing the Christmas season and assembled
into a general fund would suffice to send
great happiness to many obscure corners of
the city. The agencies for distributing the
gifts to be purchased by such a fund are
easily to be found And If the holiday
charity of the generously inclined takes
practical as well as sentimental turn,
these same agencies could easily place the
largess of the well-to-do into the most de-
serving homes in the form of coal and
meat and clothes and shoes. A little bit of
genuine Santa Claus work by few thou
sands Of Washington's inhabitants would
make a great difference In the sum total of
the joy of the season. and the trifes put
aside for this purpose would. on the other
hand. diminish in no appreciable degree the
pleasure of the upper strata of society. 1t
Is by no means necessary to wear a flowing
white beard and fur-trimmed great-eoat

In 1900 rebuked at the polls In the most
emphatic manner the party which by the
folly of some of its leaders stood respon-
sible for the Filipino revolt Of the year pre-
vious. II the democratic party should make
itself in part responsible for an attack on
American interests and authority in Pan
anna. and thereby take sides against the
United States, 1t would be buried so deep
under popular indignation next year that
the trump of resurrection would never
reach It. That party as a party will never
take this course
Interviewed on the situation by this cor
respondent, the governor Of the department
of Bolivar said:
I'VE are sure of the sympathy of the
South and Central American republics, who

not instigated. by the United States, with
strong disapproval. 1t Is possible that this
sympathy may take the form of coalition
of republics-a political program that has
been favored by many ever since 1t was
first proposed by the liberator, Bolivar,
himself. Then, 1t is not out of the realm of
possibilities that Colombia may find help In
this crisis from some nation in Europe
But In any event, Colombia will not yield
without struggle to the secession of the
department of Panama"
The Beers were wrecked upon a rock like
this. They cheated themselves at the out

hope Of European Intervention in their be-

that was offered was fnsincere. Our atti-

of Great Britain toward the Transvaal. We
are not seeking to absorb Colombia, and
not European power will lift its hand In
the latters behalf. On the contrary our
cause at Panama is the cause Of the whole
civilized world. and all the world wishes us
success And success will be ours.

The South and the Canal.

There Is a contest in the south over the
Panama canal which is worthy Of national
attention. The leading newspapers are
earnest champions of the treaty which the
President has negotiated with the new gov
eminent on the isthmus- They speak for
an early ratification of the instrument by
the Senate. Their view is at once practical
and patriotic. The people of the whole
country want and have declared for
canal. and the south in particular has
everything to expect from the carrying for
ward of the great enterprise. Her seaboard
cities. Charleston, Savannah, Jacksonville.
Mobile. New Orleans, Tampa and Calves
ton. should grow under the influence Of the
new route to the Pacific and the markets
OF the far east at a marvellous speed. AT
any rate such is the calculation of the busi-
ness men Of those centers. and Of the busi-
ness men as well of the southern cities of
the interior. The southern press is voicing
this sentiment. and supporting it in articles
of much vigor and cogency.
But some of the southern men in Con-
gress. senators and representatives, are
either of another opinion, else are i'm
proving the occasion to play politics. They
are full of criticism of the new government
on the isthmus, of the course of the admin
istration toward it, of the terms of the
treaty that has been negotiated. and are
squaring off for all the tusse that is in
them. But for them the business in hand
would be disposed of in short order. and
work on the canal under American auspices
be begun within a few months. Their
leader is Mr.. German. who is a candidate
for the presidency, and may have in mind
in this matter some play by which he hopes
TO advance his presidential fortunes. Does
he seek the defeat of the canal or has he
the purpose to delay the business so as to
deprive Mr.. Roosevelt of the prestige in the
approaching campaign which would accrue
70 him from an early settlement of the
question?
This is not the first time that the bust
Tess interests and the business sentiment Of
the south have been antagonized by the
representatives of the south In Congress.
While the business men Of that section saw
the advantages of and wanted protection,
the south's votes in congress were being
cast for free trade. While the business men
oe that section saw the necessity of sound
money and of upholding the public credit.
the sOuth's vote in Congress was being cast
for free silver coinage at Is to 1. and the
south's throat in two presidential cam
paisns was all but split In the hullaba-
100 for William j. Bryan. Is this history
to BE- repeated in the case of the canal? Is
the south in Congress to be marshaIed for
campaign purposes against her best inter
e5t5? And is she again to receive incalcu-
Liable benefits from those whom her repre-
sentatIves in national office seem never to
