4 THE EVENING WASHINGTON: MONDAY. f any other pa local NEWS paper ai Advertising Medium it has no competitor. ‘The report of the Commissioner of Charities, full extracts from which will be found else- where in today’s paper, is of special interest, because it is the first report made by the new official intrusted with the task of supervisi aad systematizing the local charities, and will ommand general attention, as well for the views and recommendations it contains as for the importance of its subject. It is not to be expected, of course, that everybody wili in- dorse Mc. Warne: onclusions on all points. Many persons, however, who have given the matter careful consideration have long held to the opinion that the number of ebaritable institutions bere, working in the fame lines, is unnecessarily large, and that the work they undertake could be performed more effectively and at the same time with less ‘expense if efforts to that end were consolidated. At the same time that some charitable work has been doubly provided for, no provision whatever bas been made for other equally necessary branches of charity. In the absence @f asupervisory head to the local system of charities there has been annually a sort of go- as-yoa please contest before Congress in which representatives of different organizations took part, each naturally desirous of securing for his institution as large a share of public favor and money as possible. With proper super- vision, aa has been urged by Tux Sran, the claims of all the local charities could receive intelligent consideration, the amounts appro- priated adjusted properly, new branches of ebaritable work, now lacking, could be added and fostered, and the waste due to the duplica- tion of charities of similar character avoided. Mr. Warner does not attach due weight to the considerations which give charitable insti- tutions in this city a just claim upon ‘the government. Notwithstanding Mr. Warner's view that the conditions existing here are not materially different from those of other cities, it still remains a fact that a large part of the dependent population was brought here during and following the war asa result of various actions of the government and is not in @ strict sense the local poor of the city. It has always been recognized that it was un- fair to charge upon the citizens of Washington the fall cost of the charities, whose operations are necessarily greatly extended by reason of such government action. The need of sys- tem in the disbursing of appropriations for charities is, however, generally admitted and Mr. Warner's vigorous report will undoubtedly do much toward securing it. Many institutions here have been doing good work and necessary work and whatever the outcome may be of an effort towards order they will furnish the foundation of what it is hoped will become an admirable system. ate The opening of the terms of the Supreme Court is always an event of importance in the United States. At least it is so now and has been the ease for many years. Time was, in the beginning, when the republic was young. the power of the court undefined and the docket insignificant, that it was otherwise. At present the place of the court in the govern- ment, or rather the place of the federal judi- ¢iary of which the Supreme Court is at once the heart and crown, is not only well defined but prominent. It takes no initiative, but its constructions of powers are so broad and clear- cut that the lack of initiative is not felt. It is safe to say in all soberness that the real force of the judiciary is the strongest in the govern- ment, the most penetrating. the most wide- reaching, the most profound. The Supreme Court meets today with the greatest docket, comprising some of the most important causes ever presented before an American tribunal, mention of the better known of which was re- cently made in this column. +2 ‘The trumpeted successes of the “cloud-com- pelling™ experiments are stoutly denied by a Chicago newspaper man who was on the spot. This representative of the Farm Implement News, who tells his “True Story of the Rain- makers in Texas” in his own paper, says that it is probable that more atmospheric concussion was made by the jack rabbit hunters in the Vieinity in one day than was caused by the combined efforts of the rain-makers. He dis- poses seriatim of the claims made by and for ‘the experimenters and shows that while the rain-maker might have been a success at some- thing else he was not a success at rain-making. This is too bad. Taken in connection with the statements of scientists it disposes of a fad that would havg been a great thing if at the same time it could have been a fact. ioe — as ‘The end has come; the Despatch has been dispatched by Father Neptune. Soft sigh the winds of heaven o'er the Despatch’s grave by grim Assateague’s shingly beach. But the De- spatch had « history the world will not willingly let die. For eleven stormy years its decks were trod by Presidents, kings, queens. princes, cab- inet ministers and other notabilities. For eleven long, eventful years the Despatch rivaled the ‘Tallapoosa as fate’s foot ball, for as soon as the Despatch sailed the Despatch struck a sandbar orsomething. The government never owned smore striking ship in its way. But the De- spatch has gone on its final strike; it has not struck in anger or for higher wages or for an eight-hour day—perish the thought !—but it has struck, after many experiments and pre- liminary flourishes and many successes as a striker, for a golden-crowned immortality. eee ‘Tur San is not of those who would accept ‘one type of civilization as alone worthy of the respect of mankind. To the citizen of the United States there is much to admire in sev- eral different types. This great people draws ite varied life and composite character chiefly from Teutonic elements—English, German, Seandinavian, Dutch —but the Celtic element ipalso strong here. The fiber of our national texture is undoubtedly improved by the High- land, the Irish and the French threads inter- woven at different times. a ‘The promiuent eities are wheeling into line as aspirants for the honor of accommodating one of the great political conventions. It is not amiss to mention in this connection that Wash- ington has all the natural advantages for a con- vention city, and might evolve a good deal of the necessary burrah and enthusiasm besides if she were given a chance. + A man whose wife is mayor at Kiowa, Kansas, bas signed a very popular petition to her re- questing her resignation from office. Her ‘ntegonism to the whisky shops has brought the movement about, and ber husband's atti- tude in the matter furnishes a clue to the situ- ation suggestive of points that are both bumor- ous and pathetic. ————-+-____ Obio and New York have long been rivals in political interest. New York's position in na- tional affairs is one of great substantial respon- sibility, but Ohio invariably puts in enough dramatic embellishments to keep her neck and end neck with the Knickerbocker in public at- tention. ——__+-____ ‘The remark “‘we believe in honest money” should heve been copyrighted by one party or the other before it was put into campaign cir- eulation. + ‘The Cleveland-Flower combination is now invincible—Flower's gran:lfatherhood follow- ing fast on Cleveland's fatherhood. The bach- elor Hill is nowhere. Washington may take honest pride in her own contributions to the eloquence and intel- lect of the Ecumenical Council. A little explosion in Madrid enables Spain to Keep up with the Ecropean fashions in politics. Axp Loruzor. 10TH, 11TH AND F STS.
