AN UNSAVORY SECTION
JAMES CREEK CANAL AND IT'S
SURROUNDINGS.
Report Made by Committee on
Wharves Regarding Inspection
Some Diluted Sewage.

W. ]. Douglas and D. E. Garges Of the
committee on wharves District OF Column
bia, made an inspection Of the James
Creek canal Tuesday afternoon, the par
ticular object Of their visit being to exam
Inc the fence which incloses the public
space bordering on the canal. This fence
was erected about four years ago for the
purpose of preventing drownings, which so
frequently occurred in the canal, and 1t
was found to be in fair condition, but In
need Of certain minor repairs.
Lessees OF District property along the
canal will be called upon to make these re-
pairs, in accordance with the terms Of their
leases.
Besides examining the fences the two
committeeman inspected the houses and
shacks abutting on the canal, and most Of
them were found In such insanitary condi-
ton that the matter will be brought to the
attention OF the health department.
Speaking in general way OF the James
Creek canal and its relation to the city, its
past history and its limited future exist
ence, Mr.. Garges said:
THE canal and its surroundings form a
very unsavOry section in the capital city,
the water looking for the most part like
diluted sewage, while the shanties and huts
that line its course are nearly all OF the
filthy character that might be expected to
be found In such environment.
commercial value.
'In spite of this condition, however, the
old waterway has been of considerable
commercial value to the city, because the
wharfage facilities along the Washington
and Georgetown channels are entirely in
adequate to accommodate the river traffic.
Cord wood and building material are
brought into the canal in great loads on
seows with tugs propelfing them, and the
commodities are stored in great quantities
might be Called. The District has a sand
and gravel yard on a portion of the space.
AS a part Of the sewage-disposal system
OF the city q number Of sewers are being
built along the James Creek canal, and
when they are finished the canal will be
closed and filled from G street to L street,
the tenants along that space having been
already notified to vacate The building
of dyke along the line of N street, which
estimates to Congress as a part Of the
sewage-disposal system, will result in
further closing the canal between L and N
streets, leaving the waterway open after
that time only between street and the
Eastern branch.
During the long lifetime of the James
Creek canal the District has been deriving
a revenue from leasing the space border
Ing upon the water, amounting to about
$1,600 per annum. When it is closed the
lessees will be compelled to find space else
where. If the titles to land along the
Eastern branch were settled this would be
an easy matter but as those matters prom
ise to be undetermined for some time to
come 1t is likely that the question of af-
fording wharf facili.es to these lessees will
form an interesting problem"

REPUBLICAN, INCONSISTENCY.

The Republicans OF the present day have
forgotten what the founders of their party
declared in 1860, when they were seeking
the approval Of the American people. At
that time they did not attribute the growth
and prosperity of the nation to protection
ism as they now do, but to the true causes
of both-that is, to the union of the States
and the consequent freedom of trade among
them. They declared: "That to the union
OF the States this Nation owes its unprece.
dented increase in population, Its surprising
development of material resources, its rapid
augmentation of wealth, it's happiness at
home and Its honor abroad"
This wise declaration has been studiously
avoided In all Its recent platforms, and the
exact contrary has been asserted. In 1899,
the party said ave maintain that the pros
porous condition Of our country is due to
the wise revenue legislation of the last Re.
publican Congress"
For generation or more the advocates of
protectionism, who control that party and
plumber people of all parties, have ascribed
the continuance of prosperity to its own
legislation, thus giving the lie direct to the
Republicans Of 1850. What ingrates and
fakirs the Republican bosses are

IMPRLsONMENT THE REMEDY,

Even conservative people have come to
the Democratic contention that filming cor.

law, says the New York Epsning Post, is be-
coming hobby of executive officers and
district attorneys. The news of the day is
full of specific instances. Certain officials

ton are predicting that there will soon be
wholesale suits" against the Standard Oil
Company and the railways for VIC lating the
Elkins Anti Rebate law. II, as we'll in.
formed men assert, the Garfield investiga-
tons have uncovered 1900 illegal shipments
over single road, there may be fines rum
ming into the millions-fines that will make
the 100000 recently exacted by the court
from the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy,
a mere trifle. The fines may be salutary,
but for our part we believe that the penalty
OF mprisonment-which may be imposed in
the discretion of the judge-would do much
more to inspire among shippers and com
mon carriers wholesome respect for the
statutes.
