not have this opportunity. TIE German

months before new Congress was to be

have vetoed the measure, and demanded
a second try at tariff revision by that
Congress at the first regular session in
the following winter.

National War Against Malaria.
IN the New York Tribune

From the New York Tribune.
The proposal of the National Drain
age Congress to organize a universal
campaign throughout the country
against so-called malarious diseases
would have seemed utopian a genera
ton or less ago. Now it commends it
self to men of practical and economic
minds; and few years hence people
will be wondering at our slOwness in
not having carried the thing to q sue
cessful contamination long before.
Malaria has been recognized since the
days of HippOcrates as one of the most
formidable and destructive of maladies,
the more formidable because it was
supposed, in accordance with the name
which Macculloch adapted for it from
the Italian less than a century ago, to
be caused by a pervasive venom in the
air. But since the epochal observations
of Laveran, the labors Of GOlgi and his
colleagues and the experiments and
discoveries Of Ross 1T has lost much
of it's mysterious terror. and the sure
way to it's prevention and extirpation
has been revealed.

Jingoism Is Inexcusable.

Noise and Efficiency.
ON the Chicago Record Herald.

From The Chicago cOrd-HeraId.
The appointment of special commit
tee to lessen noise is sufficient proof that
we are beginning to think differently
about some things There was a time
when Americans were morally certain
that city's reputation for hustle was
in direct proportion to the extent to
which confusion and din had become the
settled habit of the pOpulace. The eff
cheney engineers have of late Jared loose
many of the old notions of efficiency:
they have gone unrebuked. for they were
ready to back their assertions with fig
ures. and figures are quite as terrible as
the papers in melodrama. Confusion
is waste: noise is often waste and worse
for impairment of the hearing. nerv-
our exhaustion and other ills have been
directly traced to it. Germany has def
nitely outlawed noise.

The Survey Fire.

Yesterdays fire at the geological sur
vey required the services of ten engine
companies, four trucks, the water tower
and two fuel wagons, constituting about
forty per cent of the entire fire depart
ment of the District. With high pres
sure installation this fire could have been
handled with far less heavy drain upon
the resources of the department, involv
ing no great amount of shifting Of compa-
MES as is always necessary when a gen.
eral alarm is sounded. Yesterday for two
or three hours downtown Washington
was practically defenseless against any
other fire that might have occurred. ow-
ing To the concentration of the major
portion of the apparatus at the geological
survey. With a high pressure service it
is possible to insure almost uniform pro-
lection for all parts of a city, because
the equipment of stations within the pro-
tected districts consists chiefly of hose
carriages and these are comparatively in
expensive of provision.
In connection with yesterdays fire rigid
investigation should be conducted into
the circumstances of the failure to turn
or the gas from the building, resulting
IN the overcoming of large number of
the fire fighters. The present practice
Is 10 turn of the gas within the walls
instead of outside of the building This
seems an inadequate method involving
danger to the persons ntrusted with the
duty and loss of time. In yesterday
case the gas was not wholly shut off, and
it is remarkable that under the circum-
stances the fire department was able TO
avoid complete prostration and to prevent
the spread of the flames 10 the extent of
a devastating confederation. The mem
bers OF the department deserve the warm
est praise for their pluck and skill i'm
fighting this dangerous fire under the con-
ditions that existed.

The Alley Problem.

No more important work can be under
taken than the redemption OF the alleys
and courts of this 'ity, which are now
moral and physical fostering places. The
enterprise of the women who have be-
come active in this matter, enlisting the
interest of the wife of the President, has
lust led to an awakening to its impor-
lance by members of Congress. some OF
whom have personally visited these
slums and there witnessed the demoraif-
zation caused by close herding in insani-
tary dwellings.
Two projects are Immediately outlined
for early undertaking similar to that just
entering the final stage at Willow Tree
alley. These embrace the transforma-
ton OF two of the worst of the alley
slums into interior courts or parks-Goat
alley and Shows court. These are typi-
cal cases and in their present condition
they cannot fail TO shock any visitor
who inspects them with an eye open to
the possibilities for the moral and physi-
cal infection which these conditions
create. Their elimination must appear
to any observer as an urgent necessity for
the sake of the city's health.
But the problem is not solved by the
NlHlHS Out Vi ileSc diiSN 40 10 "
ing done in the case of Willow Tree alley.
These places are the homes of hundreds
of people. who find there cheap dwellings,
within their means. If the alleys are
transformed into interior parks and play
grounds and no better places are provid-
cd where can these people so save into
other alleys? They must live somewhere.
and cheaply. and it is just as important
he doA for hon
as that the slums be cured. So in this
connection the project Of constructing
decent sanitary dwellings for the present
jewellers in the alleys and courts must
proceed simultaneously. This can be
placed upon a commercial basis, not
philanthropic.
II is possible to erect and maintain
dwellings for the poor that meet all the
requirements of sanitation and wholesome
living and rent them at rates which yield
a fair return upon the investment. 1t is
q well known fact that alley property
brings the largest return of all real
estate ventures, and this fact has checked
the citys development along the line of
slum elimination. Those who are con-
tent with a return of per cent for small
house construction are TO be rated as
benefactors rather than investors. and 1t
is to be hoped that in connection with the
present crusade against the alley slums in
the District there will be disposition on
the part of the business men of the city
to finance a large enterprise giving to the
jewellers in these places clean and whole
some housings elsewhere, doing on
larger scale the work that has been here
tofore done here along this line.

Mr.. Webster.

The star makes its acknowledgements
to Mr. Gershom Bradford, I'd, for a pleas
ant correction of its slip in emitting the
name of Daniel Webster from the list
of orators who have filled the Office of
Secretary of State. Mr.. Websters name
does of course belong there, and it leads
all the rest. His services in the State
Department were of great importance.
and his fame as an orator is of the nigh
est and will endure. May it not be said,
indeed. that, notable as our oratorical
products have been, We have not yet
matched him?
The stars slip was caused by this Sill
perb loneliness of Mr.. Webster. 1t was
thinking of orators properly classed as
spellbinders Mr.. Clay led in that field
i'm his day. and Mr.. Blaine among poll
ticians in his. as Mr.. Bryan now does.
Mr. Webster was not in his day, and
would not be considered IL alive now, a
spellbinder His power over a popular
audience was not as great as Mr.. Clays.
His magnetism was unlike that of Mr.
Blaine. He was not fluent, as Mr.. Bryan
is His voice was rich and deep-was
called IAN organ tone" His presence
was imposing. He was described in the
phrase 1.-The God-like Daniel" His words
came with ease. but not in torrents. Our
greatest orator, but no spellbinder.
When Webster's name is mentioned,
English speaking people of reading think
of Edmund Burke. AS the one stands
at the head of American orators, the
other stands at the head of British ora
tors. They We're alike i'm grasp. and in
amplitude of political learning and Illus
tration. And as Webster as an orator
tops Clay and Blaine and Bryan. Burke
tops Chatham, and Fox, and Sheridan
and O'Connell, and Gladstone.

The Independence Day Program.

The program outlined for the lndepend-
ence day celebration festivities on the
Mall promises not only an interesting
but an inspiring occasion. Participation
by a large number of people. both chill
dren and adults. is made possible, and
enjoyment is assured for a multitude Of
spectators. for whom ample space will be
afforded in the stretches Of the great
reservation. If this program is carried
through in approximately it's present form
it will give Washington the most ade-
quate observance of independence day it
has ever known, and there should be no
question of the provision Of sufficient
funds to pay the comparatively small ex-
pense attached to it.
For several years a committee of citi-
zens has been at work to rescue indie
pendence day from the barbaric practices
of the past. and in cooperation with the
District Commissioners it has succeeded
in eliminating the dangerous indulgence
in gunpowder which formerly marked the
day and filled the hospitals. But nothing

and the time has come when the so-caled
safe and sane Fourth committee should
ing to positive ends instead Of merely
the negative one of correcting bad Gus
tom. The present proposition for typi-
cally patriotic observance of the day af-
fords the opportunity for this transfer
nation and advance.
1t is most appropriate that the pro-
vision has been made in the program for
participation by children of all ages. Most
important is it that the young Americans
should be led on the Fourth. Of July to
mark the day in some manner other than
mere indulgence in personal pleasures. If
the ceremonies can be made festal SO that
part in them becomes attractive. an i'm
portant end is accomplished. 1t will be
impossible for the hundreds of children
whom it is planned to include in the
pageant on the Fourth not to gain a dis
tinct conception OF the significance of the
national natal day. Their Americanism
will be strengthened. and they will be
better citizens hereafter for having per-
formed. however humbly, in this and it
is to be hoped succeeding Independence
day festivals.
