4 THE EVENING STAR WASHINGTO other paper local NEWS paper and im the city. As a Mediam it has ne competitor. Advertising ‘Mr. Griffis, in his interesting historical mon- ograph on “The influence of the Netherlands in the Making of the English Commonwealth and the American Republic,” may have magni- fied his office, but he has done an important service incidental to the purpose of the Boston Congregational Club to erect a memorial to the Pilgrim Fathers in Holland. Without referring specially to the many facts overlooket by the ‘English and New England historians and which im his forty pages he has brought out in out- line, it may be said here that it is capable of demonstration that a large debt of gtatitude is due tothe Dutch entertainers of the founders of Plymouth, their ancestors who derel- @ped the domestic and fine arts in England im the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries and to the Dutch printers, religious reformers and writers of the sixteenth and seventeenth cen- turies. Mr. Griffis’ enthusiasm in the course of justice and fair dealing leads bim into one error which it is well enough to point out He seems to hold that our institutions were de- rived mediately or immediately from the Dutch republic. ‘The best political writers now in- ¢line to the belief that our fathers in estab- lishing the federal government built it chiefly ‘on the model of the state and colonial govern- ments, the pattern of which was that of Eng- land, parliamentary and not regal England, of course. Whatever may have been said by them of the Swiss, Dutch, medieval and ancient re- publics, they had before their eyes the struc- ture of @ government which merely re- quired modifications to adapt it to their wants. That they did adapt the state govern- ment to the larger purpose is clear when the provisions of the constitution are studied in connection with those of any of the original states of the republic. The Dutch articles of union, 1579, were perhaps the first written con- stitution, unless by a lucky “find” the articles that bound the Achaian league may be dis- eovered in some such way as Aristotle's treatise on the Athenian constitution was found re- cently. ‘The dramatic proposition of Mr. J. Astiey Cooper in Greater Britain to haves great pe- tiodie festival of the Eng! peoples in all parts of the world, at which there shall be intellectual and physical competition for prizes, has been favorably received in the Brit- ish colonics, as well asin Great Britain itself. ‘The proposition has, however, been variously interpreted and many suggestions for carrying it out are now before the public. The matter has not yet taken definite form, the principal point being whether the United States can par- ticipate. On this the whole character of the proposed festival turns. With this republic left out the festival would be a four years’ oxpo- sition of industry and culture for the British possessions. it might be calied “Pan-Brittan- nie” or “English,” or almost any of the names recommended by the Canadian, English, Soath African or Australian papers. The main thing is not the name, however desirable itis to have a suitable one, but the thing, the making of a great social. commercial and intellectual bond between the descendants of the sixteenth cen- tury, English, wherever they may have settled. ‘The scheme is indorsed by Mr. Froude and others who oppose any federation plan, and seems well enough to bring together the va- rious and widely separated English-speaking peoples mainly of English blood who are now ‘the mightiest race on the earth. ee The international commission of emigration has been holding a session in Paris. It 1s com- posed of representatives of the leading Euro- pean governments, who, with the advice of an agent from the United States, are supposed to consider the subject of preventing the emigra- tion of undesirable persons. It is a mat- ter in which the United States has a pecu- liar interest, and the hope has been entertained that the parent continent would make provisions to care for her own popula- tion. By its delay it may have the advantage of some important new material for ite con- sideration, presented through the efforts of Mr. Schulteis. The laws of this country are calculated to encourage good citizenship in a way that soon converts what seems at a glance hopeless pauperism into useful por- tions of acommunity, but the United States cannot be expected to endure indefinitely the strain of diverting the European overflow into useful channels. One of the noteworthy spectacles of the times is that of the old country shipping the worst elements of ber population to America and sending her cleverest writers to make sport of American manners and customs. This country has little to expect from the European commis- sion’s deliberations. The safeguard of home legislation is the only one to be depended oa, for Europe can scarcely be expected to stop the ehannels to 20 usefui a reservoir. ‘The launching at Philadelphia yesterday of the cruiser New York, the most formidable ves- sel of ber class in our navy and perhaps in the world, was an event of pride to the people of this country and one that reflects credit on the government. The essentials of speed and fig’st are meré happily combined in her pro’ably than in any other vessel afloat. —_——s +e ‘The arrival of ex-Speaker Reed ‘in Washing- ton during the speakership cor.test may sug- gestaray of comfort to th, candidates who eee their ambitious prospects gradually dwin- dling. ——-.._ ‘The Irish of it woraid be that Emperor Wil- Hiam's doubts as to "nis sanity show him to bea Person of exceller.t intelligence and judgment.
