ENING STAR. WASHINGTON: ay . = — —— ANE EVENING STAR has tne fullest Local Cireulation of any Newspaper in the World. and as an Advertising Medium is worth more than all the other papers published in Washington. The skeleton which was given a place at Egyptian royal banquets to indicate that the monarch, though enjoying luxury and adula- tion, was merely mortal and must die, and thus became a corrective of pride anda suggester of serious thoughts, was dangled on Tuesday before the eyes of the exultant and celebrating republic by Bishop Potter in the sermon which formed part of the centennial proceedings at 6t Paul's church. Evidently Bishop Potter was of the opinion that the American people at their centennial feasting and self-glorification needed @ corrective of pride, and a reminder of defects. He pronounced vain and impotent ‘the endeavor to reproduce, otherwise than on the surface, the situation of a hundred years ego. He referred to the deteriorating effects of unrestricted immigration. He added: “And, again, another enormous difference be- tween this day and t of which it is the anni- versary is seen in the enormous difference in the nature and influence of the forces that de- termine our national and political destiny. ‘Then, ideas ruled the hour. To-day, there are ideas that rule our hour, but they must be merchantable ideas. The growth of wealth, the prevalence of luxury, the massing of large material forces, which by their very existence are a standing menace to the freedom and integrity of the individual; the infinite swagger of our American speech and manners, mistaking bigness for greatness, and sadly con- founding gain and godliness—all this is a con- trast to the austere simplicity, the unpurchasa- ble integrity of the first days and the first men of our republic, which makes it impossi- ble to reproduce to-day either the temper or the conduct of our fathers.” Unquestionably there is foundation for the bishop's comments upon the evils of the pres- ent generation, and it is perhaps best that the republic in its day of proud rejoicing should re- ceive criticism as well as eulogy, and gaze upon its skeleton. But the bishop’s opinion that we ago but are not so now, and that the people have sadly deteriorated in virtue during this period is not so readily sustained. Race, state and sectional dissensions raged more hotly a hundred years ago than at present. The peo- ple were not practically one, and were not bound so closely together in 1789 as in 1889, Glaring evils exist to-day which did not exist a century ago, but the change has been mainly in the conditions and not in the nature of the people. The times have altered, and with them the characteri: evils of the age. There are some things which the forefathers did from which we refrain with boasting of improve- ment inthe race. The things which we do and they did not, keeping the scales even, are also to be remembered. But human nature is much the same in the two centuries, and there is no reason to believe that, when the emergency demands, the men of 1899 will exhibit less in- tegrity, wisdom, and patriotism than the men of 1789. > oe The realization that our Union of thirteen states has swelled to one of forty-two, and that the next census of population, if its fruits Justify at all the general expectation, will show the United States to contain 70,000.000 souls, forces home upon us the necessity of making some provision for the consequent increase in the number of representatives in Congress, It is almost out of the question to consider the wisdom of making the ratio of constituents to members any larger. It is so large now that there is danger of the members being out of touch with opinion and sentiment among the masses of the people at home. What remains is either to extend the size of the hail or re- duce the quantity of furniture inside. In the les a large gathering of le to be put into a comparatively small space with- out much discomfort. A like arrangement here would relieve the situation a good deal. It would deprive members, however, of their present means of turning their time to double account by sitting through a session and voting on party measures when the roll is called writing letters to their constituents, Members of parliament make notes when they choose, but itis on a slip of paper or a pad resiing on their knees. If each Congressman were given a clerk to do his letter-writing for him outside of the hall he could open his daily mail in his seat if he chose, and jot downa word or two on each letter as a suggestion for an answer, which would meet every demand. In view of the alternatives, some such change seems to be inevitable, and not many Con- gresses hence. ee New York city, for three days, nearly doubled her normal population. That so many persons from a distance were able to journey thither quickly, cheaply and in comparative comfort, end that the city held the 3 for taking care of them all while they ed, are them- selves signs of the great advance made in the artof living during the first century of the American republic. What would have been thought of a tuwn in this country, in 1789, which could furnish shelter and subsistence to nearly three million human beings for the space of half a week? ———————— After all the eulogies upon George Washing-’ ton have been pronounced, the fact that “he never slopped over” remains the most notable of his discovered characteristics, Asa happy eulogizer A. Ward distances even C. Depew. $< The Cherokee ontlet is the next section of | the boomer’s promised land. His advance | guard is already there, dodging the United States army, fighting over worthless claims, and, as in Oklahoma, swallowing great quan- tities of alkali dust in the water and air. Alkali water in the Oklahomacities is now very expensive, and, after drinking, the imbiber heartily wishes that he hadn't, $$$ ___ As Bishop Potter suggests, the President of to-day is exposed to certain temptations and Placed at a disadvantage in certain respects, which were absent from the experience of the first President. On the other hand, neither President Harrison nor any of his immediate pre-lecessors has organized a lottery scheme as Washington did without discredit among the people of his time, but the alleged degenerate Public of to-day would feel outraged if any one of them had done so. The father of hiscountry bad his failings and weaknesses as aman. It would be easy to frame a startling indictment against the evils of the times in which he lived. But while it reasonably deprecates a sweeping change of national decay this generation will not excuse the glaring evils of to-day by re- hearsing those of early times. The suggested comparison would result only in the deacon's bumble admission : “We're all poor critters.” a ‘The national spree is over, and, after much ceutennial celebration, the republic rests itself. [eer There is a difference between the resistance of Parnell to cross-examination and that of Pigott, and the difference measures the dis- parity in strength between the case of the Irish leaders against the Times and that of the Times against the Irish leaders, ———— One hears more cf George Washington than of Boulanger nowadays. What is the matter with the brave general? oo Grant died in 1885, but there is not yet a statue of him which the centennial celebrators could decorate or salute. a @@ Advertising is profitable only when prop- erly done,—that is, in the medium sure to reach the largest number of those whose attention is sought.
