4 THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON: CROSBY 8S. NOYES.. -Editor. THE EVENING STAR has n regular and Permanent cirealation In Washington three times larger than that of any paper im the city. As a local NEWS puber and Advertising Medium it has ne comyctiter. The Methodists took anothor long step toward the establishment of their greet Ameri- ean University last night in the entertainment at the Arlington Hotel of the members of the ecumenical council Interest awakened there te world wide and abiding. Thespeeches made last night show how deep an impression the plan has made on the general mind of the Methodist people. The announcement that the sum of $100,000 had been subscribed by @ Washingtonian on easy conditions for a hall of science, added to previous announcements of subscriptions, will go far toward securing the Beeded sum of two millions with which to Start the institution. The residue of the total amount expected to be raised eventually, ten million dollars, will not be so difficult to ob- tain after the plan is seen in partial operation. ‘The important step in all the capital's univer- sity projects is to lay broad foundations deep im the fresh, free soil of our rapidly growing country. To the friends of liberal education and profound calture Washington's projected and developing universities present great at- fractions. The republic's capital, even before it was settled where the scat of government ‘was to be, was foreseen by those great fathers of the nation, Washington, Madison, Hamilton, Wilson, Morris and others, to be the proper place for a national seminary of the highest grade. They did not succeed in their day in getting a foundation, which work has been left in the evolution of things to their successors of the third or fourth generation. On our sXfoulders falls the great obligation and we may not shirk our duty. The conditions are all favorable now, as they were not in Washing- ton’s time. A noble capital has arisen on the banks of the beautiful Potomac, Washington's river, with ever-widening area and ever-improv- ing architectural and scenic display. As the re- public grows in wealth, intelligence and popu- lation, so the individual outlay increases with the governmental, and the capital becomes more acd more the center of attraction for the western hemisphere. Keeping step with its growth asa political center is to be its march as the intellectual capital of the new world. ‘Washington is the piace for the great universi- ties that our advancing civilization requires. Here, where the study of government is best pursued; where are the copyrighted collection of books and other collections of documents and nowspapers; where the scientific depart- ments of the federal government are forming nuclei hardly less impressive than the polit- ical; where the citizen comes to pay his pa- triotic dovoirs to the shades of the great dead and the presence of the great who are living, their successors—sarely here, if anywhere, is inspiration to learning, to eloquence and to patriotism to be acquired by American youth. —_>+=—____ Brightwood avenue, just beyond Loundary, is in very bad condition. The road-way ir full of ruts, and the street car tracks project in places so that vehicles cannot cross them. It is disgraceful that the main thoroughfare lead- ing horthward from the capital should at the very edge of the city be so rough and danger- ous as to warn off light vehicles and subject to extraordinary wear-and-tear those heavy vehicles that attempt totravel upon it. In any of the foreign capitals whose smooth streets and roads Washington emulates such a condi- tion in such a place would not be permitted to sist foraday. Responsibility for the situa- tion is rapidly shifted from one set of shoulders to another. The District government says that the contract for the improvement has been Jet and that it has been expected that the con- tractor would speedily begin work. The con- tractor explains that he is waiting for some one to assure him that the strect car company will pay him for what work he does for it. The street car company, which has been experi- menting with a new motor, is apparently more concerned over the question whether it will live to run cars with its motor than whether the people and suburban residents of Washington shall bave a thoroughfare er no thoroughfare down Seventh street extended. The people of the city are as impatient over the waste of time in- volved in elaborate discussion of the proper apportionment of responsibility and blame for the delay as over the delay itself. They want ‘an important and necessary work of improve- ment, which ought to have received attention long ago, accomplished at least before winter setsin. The wrangle over the legal relations of the railroad, the contractor and the District tothe work can goon afterwardg as intermin- ably as it pleases. Whatever the contractor has bargained with the District to do let him @oatonce. If his contract does not already cover the work on the space adjacent to the tracks, either he or somebody else should be authorized by the District to do this paving immediately, and lien certificates issued against the road to reimburse the District, if no con- tructor cau be found who will receive such cer- tificates in direct payment. ——_—-=____ It is comforting to the national pride to learn ‘that the original height claimed for Mount St. Elias, in regard to which doubts were raised by @ party that attempted to ascend it last year, bas been restored to it’ Late advices from the explorers sent out by the National Geographi- eal Society of this city this season are to the effect that they failed to reach the summit, as ‘they bad hoped to do, but ascended to a point over 14,000 feet above the level of the sea, and foand from that point a summit, yet to be sealed, between 4,000 and 5,000 fect higher, as nearly as could be calculated. ‘This puts the height of the great Alaskan peak at the credit- able igure witht which it has for many years Deen credited, viz: about 19,000 feet. Let the eagle scream accordingly. <-> —___ ‘The Grand Army movement, virtually sue- cessful already, to erecta monument to Gen. Grant at Washington, appeals to the common ‘sense as well as the patriotism of the nation. What New York refuses to do after appropriat- img to hervelf the opportunity the Grand Army will do at the most fitting place, the republic's capital, where all mankind can see the evidence ef a people's pride auc gratitude. + = —__ The investigation before the Pennsylvania senate into the alleged misconduct of certain state officials will go right on and will, in that respect, gratify both partics on their own state- ment —_———_ + —__ ‘The man who accidentally stabbed himeelf ‘With a lead peneil yesterday should furnish a warning for some of the campaigners who sre about to put themselves on record. <= Washington hes « fine fire brigade, and whether it appears on duty or on parade, as in yesterday's turnout, it wins deserved admira- tion.
