4 THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTO ¥. ‘The home and fortress of the Moorish Kings of Spain at Grenada, known as the Alhambra and immortalized in song and story, was partly destroyed by Gre yesteriay mornirg. This is one of the three or four most superb buildings in the world and is universally considercd tho most intricately boautifui, even in ite state of | A decay, of any, there being only the Taj-Mabal in India and the ruin of the Coliseum at Rome with which to compare it. Of course in the ciement of grandeur it is exceeded by some of the noble eathedrais of Kurope. The Alhambra (Ped Castle”) has a magnificen: prospect, standing boldly out on an elovated ground in full view of both mountains and vailey, with the old Moorish city below. It has suffered much from ‘he ravages of fire, time, war and neglect, but is still the chief object sought by the enrious traveling eye and the principal ruin Jett of Arabian cmpire. rs That august, not to say September body, tho Parking Commission, bas im due course sub- mitted 6 commuzication to tae District Com- missioners concerning tho caterpillar cpidemic now prevailing in this town, in which com- munieation it is stated cz cathedra that, notwithstanding the caterpillars sre ‘very numetous they do no harm. Perhaps they dou’t—te the august, not to ssy Septem- ber P.C., but what of the remaining two bun- dred and thirty-nine and odd thousand peoplo residing here? Is it no harm that a beautiful young woman, under the silver light of the creseent moon, when she is in the very act of foreclosing emotions] mortgage on a hesitating young man of large means, shonid with a sud- den and impetuous scream frightem the im- mortal soal out of him and lose him forever, simply because one of those nawsty little fuzzy vermiculates dropped out of its Proper place among the quivering aspen leaves with a soft yellow thud upon her snowy undalant neck and pranced around there like acolt ina pasture? Is there no harm in this? Is it a0 harm for a matron of mature years and resplendent in elegant garments to go about the streets with caterpillar paseamenterie deco- rating her bonnet and her gown? Is it no harm for a young minister of the gospel, who is acting asasummer substitute, while his over-worked brother goes away to roliic at the seaside, upon uscending the p ulpit on a quict Sabbath morning, filled with the gentle spirit of the season, to discover up his clerical pant’s leg an animated wad of sentient caterpillar about as bix as a link of sausayo and about as soft ava piece of custard pie? Is it no harm for 4 man to wander about his domestic prem- aseg with caterpillars down his back until be bas mental, moral and physical jim jams? Is it 20 harm—but why go on? ‘The conference committee on the tariff bill Will have an interesting topie for discussion in Mr. Blaine’s last letter on reciprocity. In his previous letters the subject had been strongly presented, but in the Boston Journal, this morning, sppears, addressed to the editor, a summing up of the argument with suggestive additional facts aud reasons. Than Mr. Blaine there is no more trenchant political writer living im the United States, and few there are in the past who may be compared with him in vigor of thought and piquancy of expression. ‘There is a great field for study in the proposed flour and tropic-product exchange between this country and the Spanish isiands, and Mr. Biaine’s manner of stating the question facil- itates progress. Ee A democratic exchange insists that New York Jes not been @ pivotal state for some years. Well. in "84 the democratic candidate for the presidency carried it and the election, in "83 the same maa lost itand the clection. If it wasn’t the pivot he wanted the last time, it ‘wasn’t the pivot the other man wanted the first time. There are pivots for some people that are not pivots for other people. Again the Partics may have different pivotal points. To the democrats New York is still pivotal, to the republicans the pivot is out nor’ west, Ss Mr. Kennedy's famous speech has been re- ferred to the House judiciary committce, which will no doubt recommend it for action and un- der a suspension of the rules it will be recom- mitted in committee of the whole House on the state of the Uaion and by the time it reaches the Senate, that dignified body in high dudgeon will pass it without speaking to it. That is the Parliamentary tradition and deviation there- from is very seldom. ———— If the successes of the republican party in the recent Brazilian elections were won with- out pressure from the provisional government. they are cause for congratulation in liberal cireles everywhere. In that view they imply the popular origin of, or at least the popular acquiescence in, the revolution. oo ‘There are four distinguished citizens of Japan Bow in this country to examine the methods of education here, but they have come too late. To have struck richness in an educa- tiowal lime they should have come during our Jast presidential campaign.
