OUR HOSPITAL SITUATION.

What is Congress going to do regarding the hos
pital situation in this city? Is it going to close its
eyes to the conditions and its ears to opinions which
have resulted from careful Investigations of a sua-
ton which demands immediate attention and prompt
decision?
While there has been a difference of ideas as to
the wisdom Of continuing the principle of public and
private support combined, the matter has been
thoroughly threshed out. 1t can no longer be said
that snap judgment has been taken at the behest of
any partisan influence The difficulties of the hos
pal administration have been gone into very thor
oughly by those who are most competent to Judge
and the conclusion has been reached that the existing
relations should not be disturbed.
The very ground has been bought under Emer
gency Hospital and the structure will have to be torn
down. 1t is conceded that The condition of the Co.
lumbia Hospital building is such that it is positive
menace.
The Chamber of Commerce and the Board of
Trade both representative bodies of citizens, after
a searching inquiry the part of their respective
committees have recommended that the appropria-
ton of 100000 for Emergency should be made. The
District of Columbia Medical Society, body of med-
cal experts on the subject have indorsed the project
and given their reasons in good plain terms.
Bound up with this policy is the project of erect
ing new building for Columbia Hospital to cost
$3OOOOO 1t is positively unsafe to use the present
structure.
To continue the debate in the face of these facts
is trifing and Improbable. The plan of the Board Of
Charities and of those who side with them has been
given full and fair hearing, and the weight of evil
denCe is against it. How MUCH longer the Board
of Charities expect the District to wait? Who is
there to hear from? What argument can be
advanced?
From every angle the question has been consider
ed with resulting consensus of opinion in favor of
the appropriations for the buildings, and it is
imperative that action should be taken without delay

Now the grocer supposed that the
youth had come TO ask for his daughters
hand. and he prepared TO throw him
about his undying affection the youth
pulled a long face and thus addressed
him:
Il have come" he said, because my
conscience tells me that ! have not

that that glorious dream can never be

Perceiying that his audaeity had rem

went on;
Il do not deny that your daughter has
