are lessened in this country by the knowl-
edge that the disease spreads only among
filthy hordes Of people. A. clean city. devoid
Of densely populated. dirty siums, Is prac-
tically safe from the danger. It Is almost
inconceivable that this disease, which car
ries Off tens Of thousands in the far east.
should ever become epidemic here. That
fact, however. should afford the stronger
reason for the promptest and most thor
ough measures Of eradication. Affording SO
little ground for epidemic spread, there Is
the best possible basis here afforded for
complete victory over the bacillus, and any
degree bf plague prevalence In this coun-
try should be considered as reflection
upon the watchfulness or the ability OF in
spectors and health officers. provided they
are given proper legal support.
1t Is unfortunate that Chinatown in San
Francisco should offer breeding ground
for this or any other oriental disease, which
thrives in foul. dark Places. The sanitary

of the trusts under cover. They are men OF
character and ability, and mean what they
say.
The trusts. however. It h plain enough.
are greatly heartened BY the situation that
exists. They regard 1t ~ promising them
temporarily precisely what they want.
They see that the clock Is set for noon Of
the 4th OF March. They note the condition
Of business in the two houses. and the feel
ing that Is rising over different measures.
They are hoping first for deadlock which
will prevent any action against the trusts
at all. or else some specious compromise
which, at most. will but save the faces OF
the antitrust leaders. They are doing what
they can through their agents to add to the
difficulties.
The President there is reason to believe,
expects a measure that will accomplish
something. AS he is advised, there are
votes enough to give to the country the re-
lief 1t wants. 1t Is for the republican lead
ers. therefore, to adjust their differences
and poll this vote. A compromise measure
Is probably inevitable. but that need not
mean an impotent measure. A measure
which. as The Star stated the other day,
aimed principally at getting rid Of the SUBJ
ject for the moment and preventing an
extra session of Congress would injure in
the end the party in power. 1t could not
be defended before the people,. and mere
'bluf11ng" in the way Of legislation always
deserves and often receives a rebuke at the
polls.

Trust Legislation.

The antitrust leaders in Congress are thu
targets for many shafts. One day they are
represented as moving unitedly on the
works of the enemy and confident of carry
ing the citadel. The next day comes a re-
port that they are divided and demoralized
and certain to be defeated. 1t Is case. we
are told, OF too many generals. The plans
of campaign are too numerous; the orders
too contradictory. General Hoar suggests
one thing General Littlefield suggests an
other thing. General Jenkins is aggressively
in favor OF a third thing. while General
Knox holds to fourth thing tenaciousiy
There are. 1t must be admitted. great
variety OF views as to what should be done.
But there Is encouragement in the fact
that the men the most active In the efforts
to find a remedy for the trust evil are in
earnest. No suspicion attaches to their
activity. They are not trying to muddy
the waters. They are not piling up sugges-
tons for the purpose Of making legislation
impossible. They are not playing the game

Of course an exceptional city with large

The Case of Mr.. Tillman.

The case of Mr.. Tillman is now with the
court, and the whole country will watch
Its progress with interest. A speedy trial
the prisoner has expressed wish for, and
a speedy trial he ought to have. He will
rot lack for friends. or money, or able
counsel, and the fact that he becomes a
private citizen today deprives him of moth
Ing he could have used to advantage in his
defense. The public upon the face of the
case has adjudged him an assassin. A
more cowardly taking Of human life. if
we may accept the details reported has
seldom been recorded. A word Of praise is
due to the citizens Of Columbia for the
self-control they have shown in crcum-
stances of so much difficulty. and it is to
b. hoped that the same spirit may be ex-

These statements, specifically made, are
intended to silence baseless rumor which
rattle-brained busybodies have circulated
persistently the past few days. It would
not be referred to now but for the fact
that a reputable New York newspaper yes
terday dignifed the rumor by giving 1t
publicity. Readers of the Post-which
means the Intelligent people Of Washing

The District Desires Federal Loan.

Next Monday the House will take up the
bill providing an advance of S1O,OOOOOO to
the District by the general government to
permit the capital to meet extraordinary
expenses for great permanent works. From
time to time in the past the principle un-
DERIVING this measure has been heartily
Endorsed by the District people. acting
either individually or through organiza-
tions, and it can be confidently asserted
today that the voice of the capital is
raised now practically without dissent in
behalf Of the passage of the loan bin.
Nevertheless it is desirable that the situa-
ton be made plain to the members OF
the House as it is possible to make it, in
order that when the bill comes up on Mon
day for consideration there can be no mis-
understanding or misstatement Of the po-
sition of the District people.
1t is to be hoped and believed that all Of
these organizations will take occasion be-
tween now and Monday to strengthen the
cause of the advocates Of the federal ad.
vance by restating their Endorsement Of
the principle, especially In view of the
action of the House yesterday in passing
an appropriation bill framed on exactly
opposite lines. Those citizens who are not
connected with any of these various organ
their personal statements to the Distric:
chairman SO that he may be able next
Monday to stand behind impregnab.e
breastworks when he declares that the
business men and the citizens generally of
the District desire this loan with prac-
teal unanimity. s-'-
Already the Board of Trade. through its
board of directors and committee munic-
iral finance. has Endorsed this proposition of
a general advance from the government to
the District, and the board Itself stands
recorded in the past as approving the prin-
ciple of loan for specific purpose to de-
fray the cost of large permanent public
work The Business Mems Association is
likewise on record as indorsing the prin-
ciple. and the various citizens associations,
acting both individually and in concert.
have expressed their desire that the finan-
cial problems be solved in this manner.
