4 THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON. D. C, WEDNESDAY. MAY 24. 1893—TEN PAGES. EVENING STAR. GTON. -May 24, 1993. THE WASHIN WEDNespar. THE EVENING STAR permanent circulation in Washington three times larger than that of any other paper in the city. Ae a lecal NEWS paper and Ad- ising Medium it hus ne competi In the Presbyterian Assembly as in the great representative gatherings of other Protestant denominations, there is to be perceived the conflict of two distinct and contradictory tendencies. One is toward Christian unity, the consolidation of Christian effort, the dis covery of some common ground of funda- mental faith upon which all Christians may unite, a cessation of the warfare between Christian and Christian, 2 lowering and mini- mizing of the banners of contending sects, and afusing and reorganization of the forces that fight for good, under the banner of Christ, against the common foe. The other is toward Christian diversity, and an increase of the de- nominations which in Christian unity it is bought to combine and consolidate. Too great stress laid upon some supposed peculiarity of doctrine both by the thinker in his assertion and by his critics in their condemnation, is as apt today to threaten the birth of & new sect as at the times when im succession the existing _ protesting denominations have been formed. It is clear that the first step in securing a unity which shall include all Christians is to unify indi- ‘vidually the respective denominations which it is hoped to harmonize among themselves, A denomination which is ready to split in two on ‘s point of alleged heresy is moving in exactly the opposite direction from Christian unity. A heavy responsibility rests both upon men who play havoe with the belief and organization of an existing church, and also upon men who, lackingChristian forbearance. too narrowly and harshly construe into heresy not to be tolerated the words of a fellow Christian. In the exer- cise of Christian humility by one class and of Christian forbearance by the other class of these offenders lies the only hope of harmony im the respective denominations and of that sympathetic co-operation between denomina- tions which will give promise of tho Christian Church universal. It is not only a pleasant thing for brethren to dwell together in unity; it is a necessary thing for the progress and prevalence of true Christianity. ——__+ ++ _. Seventy-four years ago there was born to the thea Duke and Duchess of Kent s daughter, and today the anniversary of that event is celebrated wherever the British flag flies, for that infant was christened Victoria Alexandrina and is now Queen of Great Britain and Ireland and Empress of India. For more than half a century she has ruied that vast domain, not by the force of monarchieal tyranny, but after a womanly fashion—gentle, yet firm—to which Bistory presents no parallel. In her reign, and eapecially during its earlier years, the nation was greatly disturbed by financial | ‘embarrassments, by fightings without and fears | within, but there has never been an hour when dissolution of the kingdom seemed probable or | when the sovereign did not enjoy the complete | respect and confidence not only of her sub- jects but of all civilized peoples of the earth. ‘There has been much in British policy with which this country could not and did not sympathize and at times there has been u: comfortable friction between American sent ment and the doctrines of the party which | temporarily practically controlled English | governmental methods, but even when these disagreements were of more than ordinary warmth no one ventured to aseail the righteousness er feminine grace of the monarch in whose behalf countless good wishes have been uttered by residents in all lands on the face of this globe and by countless toilers of the seas. That Great Britain will, in the not far distent future, become a republic, is as neariy certain as anything can be, butcon- ditions must change considerably before such possibility is ia sight, and were all kings and | queens like unto Victoria che day might belong postponed. Only the unfairly prejudiced will today refrain from echoing tue universal prayer “God Save the Queen.” —_—_——_+eo— Among the many practical efforts that have receutly been or are now being made to improve the city’s sanitary condition none are more deserving of commendation that those which are operating under the direction of Engineer Commissioner Powell. Quick to see the danger points and active in his desire to make Wash- ington the most healthful city on the continent, Capt. Powell is doing his utmost to minimize the effluvia and seatter the foul deposits which ordinarily accumulate around sewer-effluent ‘These have been especially evident and objec- tionable in the vicinity of the James Creek Canal and at the mouth of the Seventeenth street sewer, and it is in these places that Com- missioner Powell's energy is going to accum- phish a great deal of material good. Through- ‘out the city there has been an awakening on sanitary matters and when the principles now | #0 generally understood have been intelligently | applied there need be but little fear of a cholera | epidemic within the District. For many years | the James Creek Canal has been an eyesore and a disgrace; any endeavor to disinfect it or to hasten the flow of its sluggish and disease- breeding current will be a public benefaction Of the sort that is most appreciated. oe In the death of George Francis Dawson the District of Columbia lost one of the most eati- table of its citizens. An Englishman by birth, he was one of the best specimens of trans- planted manhood and showed conclusively how technically alien material ean become thorough Americanized. Possessed. of educa- tion and of the ability to aprly it, he enjoyed a high journalistic reputation, made during a lengthy residence on the Pacific coast. In this| sity be was active in good works, but his phil- anthropy was unobtrusive and is known to but | few others than the beneficiaries. He was an admirable citizen. oo Somewhat surprising to those who have fol- lowed carefully the evidence brought out is the report which Assistant Attorney General Colby has made on the weather bureau investigation printed in Tuz Sran today. Ina general way the report inclines toward the practical Tetransfer of the Weather Bureau to the Signal Service of the army; and this circumstance Tecalls the fact that Prof. Harrington has in- sisted from the first that the investigation was set on foot for the express purpose of furnish- ing arguments in support of a preconceived design to make th s change. see New York—' that great center of what some misguided peopte call “‘somety,” but which sen- sible people have another name for—seems to be much disturbed ever the methods employed by us in our efforts to be courteous to those who bave cons hither from the land immortal- tized by the Cid ard who, by the way. seem to be enjoying themselves very much indeed.

Now, wha: icant don't know about American styles and manners is exceeded only by what they don’t know about Spani: styles and manzers,and upon this considera tion the whole question turns. Why in the name of G. W n and two hundred years of American civilization and progress should we try todo the very thing our forefathers eame to this country to escape doing, years and Years ago? At first our style was not generally admired by Europeans, but during the past fifty years we have compelled admiration, and now that which is American is just as credit- able as those things which were once discredit- able because they were American. Weare sui generis, and we don’t care wno knows it, but as ‘a rule we are not offensively proud nor boastfal | of the distinction. We are rich and haughty and snobbish, and powerful and imperious, and as disagreeable and as snpercilious and aa supe- rior and as refined and cultured as the best types of old European families, and we are therefore entitled to the privilege of extending our own courtesies in our own way. That goes with the other surprising and gratifying things American which foreigners enjoy when they visit us, and why should we try to denationalize our hospitality? There is no why to it, and any attempt to make of ourseives something other than that which nature and education have made us brings to mind the Esopian individual who, to bis own discomfort, endeavored to wear & misfit overcoat that bad once been the prop- erty of a lion. ee It is quite probable that the example will be without effect and that the advice may go un- heeded, but Tue Star ventures to suggest to the gentlemen who have been clawing the stock market for the past week or two that collapse invariably follows over exertion.
