4 _THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. WEDNESDAY............+- ..-- April 5, 1898. (EWS paper and Ad vertisieg Medium it has uo competitor. ‘The nomination of Col. John Tracey as super- intendent of charities for the District of Co- Iumbia brings to # close the official relations which have fur some time existed between Dr. A. G. Warner, the retiring superintendent, and | this community. The severance is mos$ un-| fortunate, because there were united in Dr. Warner all the qualifications needed to fit a man for that important position. When the law creating the office went into effect there was considerable popular discontent because it provided that the superintendent should be a | plicate it at this day. But the dwellers on the THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, by the experiences of those who dwell in cities hho are thankful day after day that their eibece saben acta oat caver =~ too-namerous grade crossings. There is no material difference between trains impelled by steam and trains that owe their movement to electricity. Wherever the tracks cross s public highway there should be either elevation or depression and when the line closely paral- lels a road there should be substantial separa- tion by a suitable fence. No portion of » trav- eled thoroughfare should be surrendered. | Years ago the county of Alexandria presented what is now the Pennsylvania Railroad with » | Magnificent highway, first making a condition ‘that that portion of itset apart for vehicles | should be properly maintained. Having taken all it needed for railroad purposes the company neglected its contract and is willing to return to the county what it does not need. tive disregard of public obligations of that sort is too common; it should not be possible to du- DO YOU NEED ONE? “boulevard route” will have to beeternally non-resident. With this feeling in existence a hearty weleome would have been unnatural and insincere, but it did not take the people of this city long to discover the excellence of him | who hed been chosen by President Harrison to | bring order out of our somewhat chaotic ebar- | itable conditions. Dr. Warner was the man| for the work, he had investigated and thought | profoundly on just the lines which he was here required to follow, and in a quiet, effective way he gave proof of fitness that satisfied even the unfairly eritical. His training and his inclina- tions were all in the line of admirabiy sys- | tematizing efforts to alleviate the suffering of | unfortunate humanity and it was his efficiency that softened and finally subdued the axperitics which grew out of the legislative provision that arbitrarily compels the District of Columbia topay three thousand dollars a year to anon-resi- | dent. After having done much Dr. Warner came | to the conclusion that more might be ac- complished by @ “board of charities and eorrec- tions” composed of citizens interested in those phases of philanthropic effort, so be unselfishly labored with Congress to bring about the abolition of his own office. In this he failed, not because his idea was in- correct, but because congressional procrasti- nation prevented proper consideration of the plan. He became thoroughly convinced that the non-residence requirement was @ mistake, and that a local Eoard with an expert resident secretary could best accomplish the work. Dr. Warner's tact and admirable fitness for charity organization were all that prevented his labors here from being a dismal failure. If he had been 8 politician, knowing all about campaign speeches, and assessment circulars, and politi- | cal tricks of trade, and knowing nothing of charities, and the office had been tossed to him as reward for political serv- ices, or because he was a personal friend of | the President or of Mr. Halford, he would have worked irreparable injury to this commanity of « quarter million of people at the capital of the United States, and would have made an ex- hibition of incapacity in an extremely trying | position which would bave been exceedingly mortifying to any one of self-respect, who cared for anything else than the salary which he was pocketing. Tz Stan does not know how much study and practical investigation and labor Col Tracey has unobtrusively given to the subject of charities and corrections w building up his military, journalistic and polit- ical record, but at the best he can hardly excel vigilant, —__ ++ +___ Many advocates of home rule for Ireland in- sist that the north of Ireland unionists will not carry their opposition to the pending legisla- tion to the point of actual combat. Every civilized man and woman hopes, of course, that physical conflict may be avoided, but if the temper developed at the Belfast demonstration is accurately portrayed then there is ample au- thority for the conclusion that real trouble is an easy probability. It can hardly be disputed that an Irishman will figbt at any time in any place and for almost any sort of a reason. This national tendency was not re- tarded by Mr. Balfour's Belfast speech, which was a palpable incitement to lawlessness. He said he was not surpriged that the indignation of Ulster men had overflown all bounds and | that they had threatened extreme measures in their own defense, and then he added fuel to the flame by practically pledging the active assistance of friends in England “who would spare no snerifice to save them from the fate which had been planned for them by the men in power.” He hoped they would not have to fight, but if they did their acts would be justifiable. Such words are ominous, Will there be trouble? youare fortunate. ‘This morning’s arrivals at The Palais Royal are tocreate talk among merchants not Jess than the ladies. Quantities and variety, qualities and prices that » newsphper advt. cannot depict properly. v7 “TIGHT ROLLERS.""—These come in Sun Umbrel- las and Parasols.

All have extra cover and heavy silk tassels. Those at €5.63 have white enamel frames and sticks with Dresden chins handle that isa work of art. ‘The tight rolling parasols also have extra cover and. silktassels. The changeable glace silks thatcover the improved paragon frames come plain and with band borders. The sticks are nstural wood, but very supe- rior. Those offered at only $3.93 will surprise brother merchants and patrons, PARASOLS of Changeable Sureh Silk, with quill- ing ike worn on dresses, are among this morning's arrivals. We offer them in all the dress goods shades and with three rows of quilling for only $4.69 each. If you eould only be properly impressed with the style and besuty of these newest of parasols we know you would call tomorrow. But it'sas hard to write of a beautiful parasol as picture alovely landscape. The writer feels he is a failure. —_~++____ It is early in the history of this administra- tion for rumors of disagreement in the cabinet to obtain circulation, but the ramors are out nevertheless. Singularly enough the gossips have selected as the discontented ones the rank- ing memberg—Secretary Gresham and Secre- tary Carlisle—and the men with whom, before all others the President probably bad the clear- est ante-appointment understanding. Judge Gresham left a life position on the United States bench, while John G. Carlisle laid aside 2s certainty of succeeding himself as Senator from Kentucky as frequently as he desired re-election. Both men made ma- terial eacrifices,an@ as neither of them is rich in this world’s good they were hardiy careless enough toenter upon their new duties without knowing perfectly what would be expected of them by their chief. Both men saw his meth- ods during hig first term, and to both of them he undoubt made plain his administrative plans for the quadrennial period which is now one month old. The discord ‘canard did not urprise any one; it is merely little ahead of time, Parasols are around; too many.

But few Washing- tonians can possibly visit the fleet at Norfolk, while if the ships-of-war were at Annapolis « hundred thousand District of Columbians could and doubtless would crowd the excursion trains that can be operated. This is a festal sort of a year, and there are countless sound reasons why the Navy Department should exert itself « little to please the maltitude.
