TIE crowds Of people who use 1t. Wash
fngton should have a model public
bathing establishment. whether 1t il
called \ beach or by some other name
and the proposed plan to restore this
equipment to the old place in the tidal
basin Possesses undeniable merits and
opens the way for the realization Of an
ideal Institution.
1t II doubtless too late in the session
to expect results before adjournment,
and 30 the drafting Of this bill by Sen
ator Norris, who has realized the ur-
gent need OF an improvement of the
public bathing facilities. Is thus but a
preliminary to the real work. Esti-
mates have been prepared in the office
OF the superintendent of public build
ings and grounds and approved by
higher authorities, and now Secretary
Garrison's approval puts the matter in
good shape for consideration at the
next session, either in the form Of q
separate bill or as an item in one Of
the regular appropriation bills.
With the bathing beach established
in the tidal basin it will be possible
not merely to accommodate all cpmers
at present, but through easy enlarge
ments to provide for growth and de-
velopment. There is room in that
lagoon for accommodations for almost
all of Washington II 1t desires to take
swim. There are no dangers from
currents, and at q relatively small ex-
pense the place can be SO equipped as
to afford safe and enjoyable public
bathing to a multitude. The project
should be put upon the basis of execu-
tion next winter without fail

Meat Supply
of England.

probable effect of the war on the brlt-
ish meat supply. Because OF It's 1so-
lated geographical location and be-
cause of the fact that it must depend
largely on exports for Its meat supply
England faces a situation which Is d1f-
ferent from that confronted by any OF
the other countries engaged In the
great war.
So long as England is able to keep
the highways of the seas open con-
signments of meat as well as other
food will, of course, be delivered at
her ports, but a serious feature OF the
situation is that the price OF meat IN
the island kingdom must necessarily
go considerably higher: Even with ,,ae the
ships, traffic is more or less irregular
because of the war, and the fact Is
pointed out that reports from Lohoon
show that if steamer is only one
three cents per pound in the price of
meat in the various markets OF Eng
land. The steamship companies are re-
ported to be demanding special war
freight" which are serving TO increase
the prices of imported foodstuffs.
The quantity of live stock coming
from abroad to England has dlminisneo
rapidly during the past ten years. Ar
beef consumed by England, furnishing
more than S15.000,00o worth out OF
total imports Of more than $4,000: 600
Australia furnishes approximatneny ma LEY w.
100000 worth: Uruguay. 100000; New
Zealand. $1.50o.ooo. and the aasd onasso
ing to recent reports sent to this coun-
try from London. Tie bulk OF fresh
Holland and also most Of the frozen
pork. The United States is second IN IN
Kingdom. the value Of the shipments
amounting to approximately $50. 600
Denmark is the chief supply of bacon,
valued at nearly $4,000, 900: and the
United States comes next with nearly
$35, 900. 900 Canada is the only other
country which supplies England with vi n
much bacon. Most of the canned meats
used by England come from Argentine.
Uruguay and Australia.
In view of the situation American
meat experts say that the British mer-
chant marine may be expected tnnsiad to exert
with as much meat as can be pur-
chased in foreign markets in order TO
check the rise in prices as much as
possible.

outcome. A phase Of the political sit
uation of peculiar importance was re-
fiected in The Star of October 10, in
the following editorial item:
ION a recent trip to Niagara and
Montreal the editor of The Star had an
opportunity of hearing many Of the
rebels domiciled in the Canadas ex-
press themselves in public places with
reference to the approaching United
States election. In every instance they
manifested an earnest interest In the
success of Mcclellan: an interest not
surpassed by those on this side of the
line who nightly carry banners and
torchlights at opposition political meet
ings. 1t was evident to him that they
based all their remaining hope Of the
eventual success of the rebellion upon
the alleged prospect Of McClellan's tri-
umph at the polls, which. they invaria-
bly, declared, will involve speedy peace
upon the terms of Jefferson Davis. They
all realize-if hundreds of thousands OF
the oposition here do not yet realize
the fact-that Gen. McClellan's election
must necessarily result in placing the
policy Of the government wholly in the
hands of Pendleton, Vallandigham, the
Woods. Long, ct i'd omne genus.
I'VE repeatedly heard them in hotel
conversations declare that it matters
little whether Gen. Mcclellan was him
self disposed or not to make peace on
the basis of separation and entire
southern independence. AS, If he be
elected. it will then require but a single
shot fired by a man of nerve and (rebel)
patriotism to place at the head of the
United States government q statesman
duly elected by all the forms of the
by his entire public record to make
peace on the terms of Jen Davis il he
and his co-rebel leaders will have peace
on no other terms"
Work on the F street car line was

There is an urgent need for estab-

pie of this country are aware OF the
fact that by far the greater number Of
drugs sold in the different countries or

don, Hamburg or Trieste. A few drugs
like the products of the Dutch colonies
are marketed through Amsterdam. and
some of the drug products Of Turkey
and western Asia come to this coun-
