As a News and Advertising Medium it has 20 com- petitor. 7 In order to avoid delays, on ac- imply to THE STAR. the Editorial or Business Department, img to tenor or purpose. “But for him the country could not have Bchieved its independence; but for him it could not have formed its union; and now but for him it could not set the govern- ment in successful motion.” Those were the conclusions as to George Washington Teached by Bancroft before he wrote his History of the Constitution, and time has fully justified the comprehensive eulosy voiced by the greatest of American his- torians. One hundred and sixty-two years ago, in the home of his planter-father at Pope’s Creek, Westmoreland county, Vir- ginia, George Washington was born, and today every true American celebrates the anniversary of the notable birth. The cel- ebration is never a noisy one, and occa- sionally there is room for the belief that it is not as sincere as it should be. No one asks that it be of the uproarous sort—for ‘we have too much of that on the Fourth of Juiy—but it is unquestionably true that ‘within even the past decade there has Leen & steady diminution of apparent interest fm those things which are represented by this anniversary, and a lessened knowledge of the admirable components of Washing- ton’s wonderful character. Between this @ecidedly unfortunate condition and the worship of Washington as a something more than man, lies a middle ground, which should be occupied by the American people for at least one day in the year. There ‘was nothing superhuman in Washington. He was merely a man, possessed of many virtues and afflicted with some of the weaknesses still common to the human Face, but he did a glorious work, and bril- Mant as were his deeds in the early days of our national history, they are brighter mow than ever before in the hearts of those whose first thoughts are for the re- public's welfare. This age does not afford Opportunities for the acquirement of such Feputation as was secured by him who was aptly termed “The Father of his Coun:ry,” but there are countless chances for the ex- ercise of that patriotic spirit which Prompted his every public act. Not en- tirely neglectful of private affairs, and by industry a man of considerable wealth, Waskington was none the less devoted to the government which he brought into being and nourished and educated until it Was strong enough to care for itself with- out his assistance. His example is worthy of emulation by those who have reached high public place and to whom the Ameri- can people should be able to look with con- fidence for release from the adverse ard discouraging industrial condition which mow prevails. There has been too much of selfishness in our politics, too much of par- tisanship, and not enough of patriotism. That there are great men in these days ‘will not be denied, and that there are many Who possess gifts superior to those which made Washington famous is extremely Probable, but that there are only un in- conspicuous few who are impelled by the high-minded motives so apparent in all of Wasiington’s public acts is an unfortunate condition too plainly visible. No other nan left such an impress upon the world’s his- tory as did Washington; a revival of the influences originating in him would give our civilization a more cleanly appearance and ®@ tremendous impetus. — roe. A new industry will soon make its ap- Pearance here. The Postmaster General, after carefully studying a situation that was rich in controversy for awhile, has at last decided to reject all bids for the print- ing of postage stamps ard will have the work done at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. This action cannot but receive the approval of all who are interested in the growth and welfare of this city. Con- sequent upon the decision reached yester- Gay, there will be added to Washington's Population many desirable artisans; more money will necessarily be put in circula- tion; more homes will be rented or pur- chased. Objection was made by some to What they were pleased to call the paternal snd evil argument which advocated the course followed by Postmaster General Bissell, but the objections lacked force when attention was directed to the fact that about all else of government printing Was done in this city, and by the govern- ment. There was nothing revolutionary, therefore, in the proposition to do ali of the government printing here instead of merely ninety-nine per cent of it, which hhas been the practice for many years. ——+ +> The building of a great university 1s necessarily a deliberate piece of work, but the effort which is being made to establish here the great American University is being more rapidly successful than even its most enthusiastic supporters had believed possible. In these times of great financial stringency large contributions for educa- tional purposes would hardly be looked for, yet within a few weeks two donations, each of $100,000, have been made by believers in the plans that owe their existence to Bishop John F. Hurst. Washingtonians who predict a great future for their be- loved city are sometimes accused of being unduly optimistic, but within a little while it will be possible for them to claim truth- fully that the national capital—so long a merely political center—is the home of all that {s best in American literature, science, art, and, using a broader term, all that is included in the word “education.” _ tee Another French duel is on the bills and it is feared that the Gallic appetite for nov- elty will, in this instance, get the better of Fespect for tradition, and cause bloodshed. ——__ + += It fs all well enough for arbitration leagues and pea 3 to publish abroad the doctrines of harmony, to quote Napoleon as ing that war is the busi- ness of barbarians, Machiavelli to the ef- fect that war is a profession by which man cannot live honorably d Byron when he calls it tures and the waste of life,” but none of these warnings are moving or effectual when a great priaciple is at stake and the honor of a state threat- ened. Nowhere in the United States is here more of refmed sensibility than re- sides among the good people of Virginia end nowhere is there a greater abundance intentions that are of reasonably pacific, | but there come crises in the history of ail commonwealths when patien is far from being a virtue and when anything less endeavored to put a stop to the piracy; and ! that their efforts had principally met with defeat. With these facts in view the aver- age individual will not be astonished at the action of Governor O’Ferrall in sending to the Virginia legislature a message call- ing upon the members of that body to give him such power as he needs to defend the honor of the state and to protect her bi- valvular interests. In that some-day-to-be- historic document the governor asked the legislature if Virginia would tamely submit to the high-handed lawlessness of Maryland marauders, and none will be startled to learn that vigorous cries of “Never! Never!” echoed and re-echoed through the legisla- tive halls. In addition to these evidences of sanguinary warmth there was a spirited demonstration by Col. Catlett Gibson of Culpeper county, who with great dignity arose in his place and vociferously moved that the governor of Virginia be authorized to declare war against all enemies of Vir- sinia oysters. Great applause followed this motion and for awhile it looked as though the legislature might hurry home and fur- bish up oid fowling-pieces and cavalry broadswords and other available implements of the destructive variety, but cooler coun- sel prevailed finally and the matter was re- ferred to an appropriate committee. If Maryland knows when she is well off she will not needlessly excite her trans-Chesa- peake sister. It would be infinitely less ex- pensive to board the oyster pirates at a first-class Baltimore hotel than to be the object of a Virginia declaration of war in which the slogan would be “the Pocomoke oyster; it must and shali be preserved.” —+ ++ —____ Admiral Benham, who achieved so much of reputation in Rio harbor when he protected American commerce from the as- saults of Brazilian rebels, has also, it seems, been engaged in doing pleasant things for our transatlantic relatives. It appears from recent reports that Admiral Da Gama had refused to sllow a water- boat to move about the bay and supply merchant vessels with fresh water. This decision has been the cause of a great deal of real suffering, but it is not Hkely that such suffering will continue. The captain of a British merchantman who was in great need of water applied to the com- mander of a British man-of-war for the as- sistance which was necessary before the thirst of his crew could be queached, but her majesty’s naval representative declined to assist. The Englishman appealed to Ad- miral Benham, and as a result the water- boat moves around the vay protected by the stars and stripes and vy an American naval officer detailed for duty on board the boat. A logical conclusion to be de- duced from the unwillingness of foreign men-of-war to protect commerce at Rio is that which has it that commerce is be- ing neglected for the purpose of aiding the insurgents. There never has been any reason to doubt the friendship which exists between most of the European powers and the Brazilian rebels, and it now appears to be certain that the sympathy of the naval forces at anchor before the Brazilian capital—with the exception of that of the United States—is with those who are trying to upset the republican form of govern- ment. Some of Mr. Gladstone's admirérs are be- ginning to intimate that he is much more effective as a tree choppengthan as a speech- maker against the house of lords. — — ee It will be interesting to hear what France, with her ideas of courtesy, thinks of the proposition to extinguish Miss Liberty's torch. —_ + +e When Erastus Wiman falls under sus- picion New York feels justified in mistrust- ing everybody; even Mr. Croker. —— s03e The lawyer who carries his case to the Supreme Court can now have three shades of justice—brown, Gray and White. 2+ e- Mr. Grow’s plurality has been doing its level best to live up to the family name. ——_ 202 , What the Wilson bill most needs is an industrial revival in the Senate. ————— The Chesapeake oyster is an institution well worth ngnuung tor.

Other things, of course, whatever you wish, but remnants here, there and everywhere, on center tables, marked with the original and reduced prices, which, in many instances, are less than half.
