TRE EVENING STAR has the fultest Local (Circalation of any Newspaper in the World, mad as an Advertising Medium is worth more than all the other papers pablished in Washington. ———_—_—_—_——— Prof. Goldwin Smith may be all right on reci- procity, but he certainly is all wrong on public schools in the United States. Denouncing the proposition for free schools made by the tory party in England, he says that a commission of inquiry should be sent to the United States and Canada, where, he says, the results prove that the system has become one of public almsgiving on the largest scale to people not needing it, leaving the dangerous class still dangerous. ‘The Canadian school system may or may not be able to take care of itself; the system of public schools in the states and terri- tories of this republic and the District of Colum- bia cannot suffer from any such statement where the facts in thecase are accessible. But Goldwin Smith, an intense partisan apparently more Wax Wesraze Goons.

The proposition for free schools in England may be “state socialism,” as Prof. Smita says, but if is not necessarily “perilous,” as he declares. The particular bill supported by the government is not, perhaps, ‘the best that could have been devised to ef- fect the purpose. It is probably too much in the line of aid extended to schools as religious institutions, parcelling out the educational fund between the regular parochial or Chnreh of Pngland schools, and the smaller dissenting schools. The time may be not the most suitable, when the gov- ernment is one of church and state combined, to set up a free common school system. Never- theless frec schools are the only means by which the mass of children will ever be edu- cated im any country. The bill should be im- proved as faras possible andenacted. if Gold- win Smith is willing to risk leaning anything | that he does not want to! poses he migh: come along with the proposed commission and find how wide of the mark is bis sweeping statement above cited. The illness of Blaine like that of Gladstone calls attention pointedly, m the almost univer- sal interested and anxions comment of the people which it h ited, to the strong hold which these great party leaders have secured upon the admiration and regard of their respective Such men are usually compelled to wait until after @eath for unreserved appreciation and general and oper! recognition of their genius. Ines which suggests to a country or toa party the possibility of the loss of a wise and brilliant statesman, zealous in its service, sometimes elicits for the living a portion of the tribute of deserved praise which a majority of the public are accustomed to reserve until it may be lavished upon the dead. —_—_or 2 Edison is right about the price of world fair tickets. Twenty-five cents apicce is suficient. More money can be made at that rate than at the larger rate of fifty cents, which it has been taken for granted would be charged. The smaller price will be a great inducement for Paterfamilias to come with materfamilias ‘and all the girls and boys. At Paris the average admission fee was not as large as twenty-five cents. Chicago may well follow the example of the shrewd and thrifty French in fixing the ticket rates. od Whether approved or not by the governor the bill of the Pennsylvania legisiatare appro- priating $100,000 for a group statue of Meade and his corps commanders at Gettysburg is ap- proved by the public without regard to party. ‘The Union was saved at Gettysburg on those fateful days of July. Meade and his men have an enduring monument in the hearts of patri- ots, but the fashion of erecting monuments of bronze, marble and granite to the republic’s Protectors and martyrs is one to be perpetu- ated. +e ¥ Now if the large concessions made by Eng- land to Portugal in order to save the monarchy should not save it what must be the chagrin of Lord Salisbury’s cabinet? Should England in- terfere to suppress the republic with the as- sistance of Spain France would probably take band, both on republican principles and be- Cause she basa grudge to pay against the in- terference of the Portuguese king's relatives in Behalf of the Boulanger sedition. In sucha omplication the baby king of Spain might also find himself without a crown or the hope of one. ——_+- <The rapid accumulation of Washington relics has strengthened the purpose of the Mt. Ver- non regents to erect @ fire-proof building to hold them. The new structure will be a valus- bie accession to the estate and will add greatly to the interest of the people in this shrine of liberty. Everything relating to George Wash- ington and his private residence is interesting to Americans and their admirers abrotd. It is gratifying to learn that within @ very short time the collection of valuable Washingtonians bas gro vn largely over any previous period. ++ Edison is reported to be constructing a sounding board of wires and magnetic ores to hear the music of Apollo as he rolls along in his fiery chariot through the vault of the uni- verse. If the suncan be linked to the light- | —— Ring as well as the parlor to the opera house, as promised, what secret of society or mystery of nature is secure from Edison's world- engirdiing genius? If this wild Walpurgis- night of science goes on earth is sure to eon- ‘verse with Mars and Venus and even with Finged Satara and belted Jupiter. ++ Canada, governmentally considered, is not happy. The premier is physically disabled, his oldest colleague is legally and morally under ‘the ban and the third statesman in influence is absent at bis post in London. All this Feconstruction—Sir John Macdonald to health, Bir Hector Langevin to freedom from indiet- ment for fraud and malversation of public fands, or at least the return to home and as- sumption of chief authority of Sir Charles ‘Tupper. The “Kanucks” have our sympathies. ro “It is something in the dearth of fame” that some of the southern states by the late cengus showed gain of enrolled pupils in public schools over the gain of population of 30 to 90 percent, When such hitherto, educationally speaking, beckward communities as Arkansas ‘and Mississippi make a fine showing like this, the bird of freedom can afford to utter an extra screaia as he sours aloft.
