4 = THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. THURSDAY... -May 18, 1893. ‘THE EVENING STAR bas a regular and permanent circulation in Washingt times larger than that efany other paper im the city. As = lecal NEWS paper and Ad- vertising Medium it has ne cempetiter. oO Representing more than a million of those who adhere to the Presbyterian faith aud anxious to advance the interests of that pow- erful fraction of America’s religious population, the one hundred and fifth General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church m the United States met in this city today and proceeded to the transaction of business. It is a thoroughly rep- Tesentative body, and as its members are ehosen by the presbyteries, which have their origin in the congregations, the con elusions reached by the General Assembly on important questions can hardly fail to satisfy the great denominational bulk. One of the secrets of Presbyterian co- hesiveness is the republican form of government which prevails throughout the entire organization; the rights of the humblest member are carefully conserved and each in- dividual has a voice in church affairs. A clever combination of these liberties and of an un- swerving Calvinistic theology has given the world s church that in all places, but especially in this land of free institutions, is a most potent influence for good. Its large membership is by no means the most striking of its character- istics. Christian activity and consiributional munifieence have attracted world-wide atten- tion. During 1892 the records show that more than fourteen millions of dollars were sub- scribed for religion and charity, and in one di- rection alone—tkat of home missions—the ex- Penditure for the year aggregated about one million. In every state in the Union save one (Mississippi is the lone exception) there are Presbyterian Churches, and wherever one of these edifices is found refining influ- ences are at work and citizenship moves on the upward grade. Blessed with awakeful, learned and generally eloquent ministry and number- ing among the most devoted of its member- ship leaders in the literary, business, political and social world, Presbyterianism seems des- tined toaccomplish much toward the advance- ment of all that is best in our national life and to act, by its conservatism, as a needed balance- wheel. Supreme within the terrestrial church, and possessing the confidence and respect of all rational people, is the gathering which temporarily calls Washington its home. Tae Sram welcomes it and con- gratulates it upon having so _plensant acity in which to work and play. Much has been done for the comfort of those whoare here to legislate on churchly matters; vigorous com- mittees have toiled incessantly to prepare en- tertainment and will continue to labor until the last commissioner has departed, but if the vis- itors see anything they would like to have, even if it is not on the bill of fare, they will only need to ask for it and it is theirs. Washington ‘and the General Assembly are both to be con- gratalated; the one because it was chosen as the meeting place of such a splendid repre- sentation, the other because it is privileged to dwell, if only for » little while, in the most beantifal of cities, a ee ‘The people of the District of Columbia will heartily appreciate the action of President Cleveland in authorizing the purchase of such land as was necessary to make Rock Creek Park satisfactorily complete. It was originally planned that the greatest of our reservations should include an area of two thousand acres, bat = sudden elevation of prices end extraordinary antagonism upset some of the calculations and contracted the boundaries. Wisely busbanding its financial resources, the Commission set out to secure the most desir- able portion of the territory within which it might legally operate, and in this it suc- ceeded admirably. When the property acquired bad been paid for 1t was seen that the ash balance available might be so ¢ pended as to add materially to the park and at the same time secure to the commission absolute control of Rock Creek from the Dis- trict line to Woodley Lane Bridge. The Presi- dential approval gives the park an extent of sixteen hundred acres and provides Washing- ton with a delightful region in which to enjoy ‘those natural beauties that are usually inacces- sible to the average city-dweiler. The sanitary argument for the public control of the banks of Rock Creek within the District iimits is even stronger than the esthetic argument. The purity of the stream is thereby protected and Preserved, and its clear, cool waters become a contributor to the public health, instead of suffering conversion into an open sewer, and threatening as a nuisance dangerous to health those who dwell in its vicinity. Ifthe banks of the creek bad not been thus protected, and the stream had become as it inevitably would an open sewer, as it is in ita present course through the city, the District would have been com- pelled eventually to spend millions of dollars to hide its festering, dangerous ugliness. The commission and the other weil-known enthusi- astic and effective workers in behalf of this noble project are to be congratulated upon this final, perfecting stroke, which crowns their labors with full success. ——___ + oe When the Presbyterian General Assembly gets down to business it will find several knotty problems awaiting action. At least one of these —affecting the faith and doctrme of the church and alleged offences against them—is of extraordinary importance to the church organization, for out of it may come internal war and possible disruption. It is sincerely hoped that the debates may have in them more of the oleaginous than the acrid, and that asa result of the conclusions ultimately arrived at there may be nothing to threaten the integrity and strength of one of the most useful existing agencies in the work of moral and spiritual elevation. —— +02 The presence of the ministers will, it is hoped, exert a wholesome, restraining influence upon the remarks of those of our other visitors who disapprove of the manner in which the offices ‘The question of cash appears quite conspicu- @usly in connection with the Geary law.

BR Howard, fr.,chief of the bureau. From this document classes of immigrants would find a suitable field either in Montgomery or Prince George's eounties. In the former farming lands can be purchased at prices that range all the way from fifteen dollars to one hundred dollars per acre, while in the latter some of the neglected plantations might be acquired at as low an acre | These latter, whether possessed of | it may be seen that both | THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D. C., THURSDAY, MAY 18. 1893—SIXTEEN PAGES. price as ten dollars, Discussing the wage earner in Montgomery, Mr. Howard says that the ordizary male labor is somewhat scarce and much more could be utilized. Of the men who do work, after fashion, many are indifferent tothe interests of their employers and fre- queutly are regardless of their own. “The intro- duction of white labor,” he goes on, “would have » beneficial effect from every standpoint, though an industrigus class of laborers of any kind would be gladly received, as would settlers having small capital. The latter would find a good soil, hospitable neighbors, and close prox- imity to the excellent market of Washington city.” The advantages of Prince George's county are also set forth. More than one-half of the total area of cultivable land remains untilled because of the scarcity of competent labor. Of the labor available nine-tenths is colored—‘‘indisposed to work, and even when willing wholly inefficient.” Agricultural ability should seek such a country, for holders of large tracts are engor to subdivide. The big farms are unprofitable simply because the laboring force in the country is insufficient and lacking in energy, but an infusion of new blood would revolutionize farming and make Prince George's one of the richest sec- tions of « great state. Such growth has to come. The expansion of Washington will mean a greater market for earth's products and to supply this all the adjacent soil must be worked thoroughly. In the not distant future every acre of the two counties of Maryland ad- joining the District of Columbia will be fertile— used to supply some of the daily wants of half 8 million residénts of the ‘ional Capital. It will profit Maryland much to advertise the op- portunities that await honest industry in the region to which we have directed especial at- tention. —— Great and magnificent as is the World's Co- tumbian Exposition it is much less glorious than it ought to be, and although there is cord of managerial contention spoils the har- mony of art and industry, which should alone be heard at Chicago. From the time when political wire-pullers persuaded Congress to sell the privilege of holding a world’s fair to the city that bid most vociferously down to the present moment there has been dangerous frie~ tion between those whom Chicago placed in charge of its forces and the supervising com- mission appointed by the United States. Hardly a day has gone by in which the conflicting au- thorities have not disagreed over some matter, big or little, and now they are persistently playing at cross-purposes, It is a difficult mat- ter to decide which party is right. If the fair isa nationalconcern then it would seem as though the governmental commission should con- trol, but in view of the fact that thegovernment very weakly permitted the lakeside city to run things after its own fashion at the beginning and allowed Chicago financiers to regard the exposition as something by which Cook county was to be glorified it is difficult to at once con- demn the local directory and yet be impartial. ‘The blunder was made when Congress allowed cities to compete for privileges that shuld never be exercised by any other power than thegeneral government. It is now clearly apparent to a gteat many people who were blind some time ago that Washington is the only place in the country where # truly national ezposition can be held. Here there would have been no ques- tion as to control, for the United States is supreme within the borders of the District of Columbia, but the Columbian exposition is in Chicago and there are two drivers on the box, fighting viciously. Each of these holds a rein, and if the vehicle is not upset or damaged it will be because the great force of American sentiment is going to lead the horses without regard to the combative occupants of the box-seat. There will never be another such exhibition in the United States as is now mak- ing this counlry ashamed of those of whom it has been and should be most proud. ——_ 2 It is obvicusly impossible for all the Wash- ingtonians interested in the proceedings of the Presbyterian General Assembly to find even standing room in the New York Avenue Church, but that fact need not distress those who fail to secure admission. Of course it would be pleasant to hear the addresses and to study the personalities of those who de- liver them, but those who are privileged to do this will succeed only after great tribula- tion. The thousands who fail are, however, to be representéd in the daily meetings and may each evening read iff Tax Stam an acew and continuous record of the proceedings. Every- thing of interest in connection with the assem- bly will be chronicled in the newspaper upon which Washington depends for the news— the reliable news—of the day. For those who do not care to wait a few hours to learn what happens after the regular edition of Tar Star goes to press a special edition will be issued as soon as the avsembly adjourns each evening. That “extra” will precede by at least twelve hours any other typographical effort to publish the doings of the day. ‘The Chinese actors who come to this country will doubtless appreciate the superior facilities that this country offers in the way of railway ties. —__ +e = —_____ Mr. Gresham considers the Chinese minister a ery able man—one whe can Ho his own row. aman can tp gamers SHOOTING STAKS. “Are you the woman that wants to engage a servant young-lady?” she asked. “Well, before we go any furder, let me ax yez, have yez any letters ar recommindation from yer lasht girl?” “Allee samee savee cash Unele Slam he much get rash.
