_THE EVENING STAR. asaucer. In forty-eight hours all the sancers were covered with abundant colonies of the WASHINGTO It is clearly evident by this time that no matter how much energy might be displayed Dy the most enthusiastic of Washingtonians the District of Columbia can not be fairly represented at the World's Fair. Several dwellers in this community will display their handiwork for the edification of the multitudes, but they will do itas individuals, unofficially, and for persoral and laudable reasons. That there will be a District Day at the great expo- sition is possible, for Tae Stan's suggestion of such a celebration has been favorably received and, to a certain extent, acted upon. The brief period of rejoicing thus planned is unsatisfac- tory, but it is the best thing possible under the circumstances. Long-range consolation may perhaps be drawn from the fact that we shall within three or four years commence to prepare for a jubilee in which every man, woman and child in the Dis- trict of Columbia will be deeply interested. On the first Monday in December, 1800, a piece of territory, ten miles square, became the governmental center, the site of the National Capital. On the first Monday in December, 1900, the three bundred and fifty thousand in- habitants and half a million visitors will join in the centennial rejoicing. It will be « great ay, nationally and locally. Of course there must be an exhibit of that which bas been ac- complished by home talent, but the great fen- ture of the show—greater by far than any number on the programme—will be the build- ings, the homes, the avenues, the trees and the parks—the peerless city of Washington. Ss War Department gots.ps say that Secretary Lamont will soon give attention to the matter of Indian brevezs. If he does, there can be no charge of hasty consideration, for successive Secretaries have laid this matter aside to be | dealt with by somebody else until many of the officers who should have been ionored long ago have left the jurisdiction of the United States for regions where men are appreciated at their real value. During and after the close of the | war of the rebellion brevets were showered profusely upon the just and the unjust, but since those times some of the most gallant ex- ploits have gone without the slightest official Fecognition except that found in the recom- mendations forwarded to army headquarters. Foreign nations have covered the breasts of countless soldiers with decorations that testify to bravery that has been eclinsed by the wearers ef the blue who fought the savages of the plains and mountains from the Canadian boundary to the Rio Grande and into the wild- est portions of old Mexico. As in other lands the soldier moved in the van of civilization. Had we been more humane, more upright in our dealings with the red men, the military skirmish line might not have been necessary, but cireumstances compelled the intervention of armed forces between the westward-moving millions and the revengeful aborigine. thirty years there has been more or less of strife, and now, save where our limits touch other principalities, there is no frontier. Sac- Fificial blood sprinkled thousands of acres now sown with life-sustaining grain and lives were laid down with cheerfulness that the great American desert might blossom as the rose. ‘Comparatively few of those who dwell east of the center of population have even a remote con- ception of the valor which preceded our com- mercial greatness. It was much easier to be conspicuously brave in the heat of great con- fticts such as were common during the re- dellion than when two or three companies were battling with five times their number of Indians and s handred miles from reinforcements. Civilized warfare ceases to torment its victims ‘when they fail, but the savage knows no pity and is unsatisfied even with the death of his antagonist. Surely if men who never stirred outside their offices in this city during the war could be brevetted “for meritorious service” there shouid no longer be delay in nominally advancing the heroes who in the open field and hand to band with the most relentless and erafty of foes unilinchingly obeyed the behests of civilization. — —_+-2______ ‘To establish fraternal relations among the leaders of mankind; review the progress already achieved; state the living problems now await- ing solution, and suggest the means of further Progress. This is the task planned by active brains for accomplishment by the World’s Con- gress Auxiliary of the World's Columbian Expo- sition of 1898. The congresses are, it has been officially announced, to be of twofold order. ‘There will be a series of general congresses, for the presentation in appropriate popular dis- courses suitable for a world-wide publication of the progress made in all departments of ivilized life, the object of this presentation Deing to promote the intelligence, culture and mental and moral elevation of the people of all countries. Then will come the special con- Grewes, where scientific, technical and special subjects not suited to the popular taste will re- ceive proper conmderation. All the congresses will be held in the Memorial Art Palace, a building in which there are two large audience Fooms, capavie of seating about three thousand Persons each, and more than twenty smaller Fooms, which will accommodate from three hundred to seven hundred persons each. With these apartments available it will be pos- sible to have two general congresses and twenty special congresses in ses- sion at the same time. Assignments of sub- Jects have not “been definitely made, but it is generally regarded as settled that woman surgery will be discussed in May; temperance, Moral and social reform and commerce and finance in June; music, literature and educa- tion in July; engineering, art, architecture, government, law reform, political science, General department. science and philosophy in Angust; labor, religion, missions, church Societies and Sanday rest in September, and public health and agriculture in October. It would be strange indeed if Chicago is not the Detter for the presence and utterances of the tremendous quantity of imported intellect that will be found at these congresses. eo ‘The worry that appears to exist over the pro- Posed investigation of Mr. Roach makes it look There is nothing to prevent the New York Senators from assembling to watch Mr. Cleve- land press the button to set the world’s fair go- ing.

Wholesale destruction of the carriers of contagion as soon as they commence to ap- pear seems to be the only safeguard. Windows and doors should be properly screened during the warm weather and the flies, so far as possi- ble, ought to be on the outside. Incautious people may have reason to regret carelessness even as to the presence of snch small and appa- rently insignificant things as flies. —___+++—___ Judge Joseph E. Gary, who presided at the trial of the Chicago anarchists, has rendered the country timely service by making public much interesting testimony that during the past few Fears seems to have been forgotten by people who should have borne it in mind. Present | conditions approximate closely to those which | existed shortly prior to the Haymarket mas | Sacre and it is eminently proper that good citi- | zens should be reminded of what might [easily ocenr, while the lawless will not | be more demonstrative when their atten- | tion 1s directed to the fate of those who jshouted anarchy and manufactured bombs, | In an unnecessary defense of his historical re- | sume, which appears in The Century, Judge | Gary says that for seven years the clamor, un- | contradicted, bas gone round the world that | the anarchists were heroes and martyrs, vic- tims of prejudice and fear. Very few living persons were sufficiently familiar with the de- tails of crime and trial to succinctly present the narrative to the public, so the judge very prop- erly deemed it his duty to write clearly and dispassionately of the occurrences. “Right- minded, thoughtful people,” says he, “who recognize the necessity to civilization of the existence and enforcement of laws for the pro- tection of human life, and who yet may have | bad misgivings as to the fate of the anarchists, will, I trust, read what I have written, and dis- miss those misgivings, convinced that in law and in morais the anarchists were rightly pun- ished, not for opinions, but for horrible deeds.” ——+-—____ A “spiritually transmitted” communication from Mary Washington, made public some time | ago, is to the effect that “George” is with her most of the time. This is most interesting, if true, but not less so than the announcement gravely made by s so-called spiritualistic peri- | odical published in London,which declares that it has secured the exclusive collaboration of William Shakespeare in the spirit world and warns the public that any alleged messages from him appearing in any other paper are spurious. People who have long been tormented by Igna- tius Donnelly and his doubts may reasonably ex- pect to read Shakespeare's confession as to hi authorship of the works for which Bacon now has the credit. —_~++—____ Kansas now has its reputation for novelty bolstered by the arrival of an aerolite com- posed of a metal which scientists say can only come from the sun. Ithasbeen definitely proved that it was not a missile heaved during a politi- cal discussion. wm Some of the undesirable small post offices would probably seem utterly worthless to office seekers if the slight satisfaction of seeing their names in the newspapers were denied the peo- ple appointed. neat eemnERsee With the excitement of local politics no more and the world’s fair opening several weeks in the fature, Chicago must feel positively lone- some just at present. ———_e-_____ Ithas been reported and denied that ex- President Harrison proposes to write a book.

That was naught for dismay; But the people do say ‘That she really attempted tocat it! “Riches may have wings,” said the tight- fisted man, “but there are no fiics on my money.” “What makes that pugilist behave so timidly in your presence?” said one man to another at & private sparring exhibition. “He actsas if he were afraid of you.” “He is.
