4 THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON SATURDAY. . Civeuiation of any Newspaper in the Werld, and as an Advertising Medium ts worth mare than all the other papers published in srt in the national city. This isa pointer to all the other scientists, of which they are fast availing themselves, as recent announcemerts in Tux Stam have made apparent. But for the present attention is fixed on the doctors of medicine. The superintendents of insane asy- lumsin the United States and Canada will assemble in thie city next Tuesday. Hereto- fore it has been the custom to meet annually in a different city each year, but it is proposed at the approaching meeting to fix upon Washing- ton asthe permanent meeting place and to hold biennial sessions. On the following Tues- day the American Medical Association will also amemble here It will be the forty-second ses- sion of this notable body. One week from to- day the conference of the state boards of health will convene in Washington. The national capital is the best place in the Union for the assembly place of public bodies of all sorta. Here where are the great buildings, the arch- ives, the scientific collections, the vast library of Congress, the aggregation of officials of the United States—where convenient lines of com- munication are open in all directions—where wide and beautiful streets, numerous parks, statues and fountains are to be found for per- sonal comfort and the pleasure of the eye— whers abundapt means exist in many hotels and lodging and eating houses for the enter- tainment of visitors, is the rallying point of the contineut and one of the competing cen- tres, with the great European capitals, of civil- ized interest. + With the death of Field Marshal Count von ‘Moltke, the general who was never unprepared whatever the emergency. passed away the great- est German soidior sinee Frederick the Great,and the greatest European soldier since Napoleon. He was 2 maa of purer character than either of these or thun Mariboro, the other modern cap- tain of equal fame. Of the generals of an- tiquity he is to be compared in the grandeur and nobility of his aims and achievements with Epaminondas and Hannibal only, and in all history he stands with the foremost of the men who have combined wisdom and valor in war th moral courage, dignity and excellence. He is the master in modern warfare with its minute preparation and itefar-sighted strategy who has given lewons to all the world. A» Bismarck was the statesman who thought out and civilly speaking wrought out modern Ger- many, so it was Moltke who fought out what was left to be done in the mighty work. Even if King Wiliam had been a feeble, instead of a strong character, the creation of his empire would still have been certain under his two illustrious subordinates. Bismarck is out of office, Moltke dead and « grandson wields the sceptre of the greatest of modern Hohen- zollerns. As time engulfs the labors so eternity claim the persons of the great. ——— The mode of electing United Btates Senators under the Constitution, which worked ideally well so long as population was small and wealth in proportion to population, has been success fally impeached by the events of the present season, follcwing the record of the past ten or fifteen yours, to go no further backward in our political history. It is not so material in this connection whether many of the rumors touch- ing senatorial clections are false or not—it is an accepted maxim that much smoke indicates the existence of some firesomewhere. Hitherto charges of bribery and corruption have been Rezren Prices recognize THE SEASON—the brightest gems in the coronet of fashion. That doss not make any difference. The fact that the spring fe but half run doce not stop us. ‘We don't propose to carry along a yard of these goods— and if you uy them you buy to wear. ia the ‘time—and now is the tame we propose to make the cul— deep as it’s.

The argument against legislative choice of Senators seems to grow stronger every day. —— + ____ ‘That there has not been heretofore such a system of national registration of naturalized persons as is now proposed is remarkable. It is no interference with state rights and isa great convenience to the federal government. Ite value is inestimable in such an imbroglio as we are having with Italy. If it were com- pulsory for officers who naturalize foreigners to forward the record of the fact to this capital and compulsory on the Department of Jugice or the State Department to keep such record much trouble would be avoided in all cases of that character.
