But suppose that om some particular occasion when the President of the United States occupies a theater box the orchestra should neglect to complete its program, how very em- barrassing it would be should the audience insist on standing until the Chief Magis- trate found what he believed to be the proper key and, to the best of his ability, Jed the audience in an outburst of patriotic vocalization? Should the fashion set by Lord Aberdeen succeed in obtaining a foot- hold, as it were, in this country there is no knowing or guessing the complications that may ensue. It might even be that political conventions, assembled for the purpose of nominating presidential candi- dates, would have to take into account the singing abilities of those whose names are brought before them, for it would be a na- tional disgrace to have in the presidential chair a man utterly unable to sing the stolen air which is generally regarded as being the nearest approach we have to a national anthem. A President whose vocal chords would insist on inserting flats, sharps and naturals not provided for by the composer would make the country the worid’s laughing stock and seriously offend the musical taste of a large percentage of our population. ——_+ + >] —___ Somewhere up in the wilds of Colorado, near the headwaters of the Saphead Creek, the dodo bird perches on the zanyloon tree and gazes down on the town of Georgetown. Most frequently the dodo bird cocks its eye at a certain cabin, wherein resides a gentleman by the name of Parker, not plain Mr. Parker, but Mayor Parker, for this especial gentleman whom the dodo bird regards with affec- tionate interest {s mayor of the town of Georgetown. Mayor Parker ts the happy possessor of a gigantic intellect, and out of it he has evolved a gigantic scheme, being no less than a proposal for all the silver states to secede and join Mexico in @ new Union. Such a proposition could only have come from a resident along the banks of Saphead Creek, streams in Kansas. Mayor Parker takes himself and his plans perfectly seriously and is engaged nine hours each day, in- eluding Sunday, in circulating petitions thrcugh the mountain mining camps of Colorado. Evidently Mayor Parker of Gecrgetown, Col., during his trance periods does not hold communion with the spirits of a distinguished gentleman from South Carolina named Calhoun and a distinguish- ed gentleman from Kentucky named Da- vis. There was a time thirty or forty years ago when in the hands of bold, determined men, the word “secession” was @ mighty weapon. Today even the specta- cle of Mayor Parker, standing on the high- est peak of the mining camp of George- town, Col. and shouting “secession” {s not calculated to make an eyelash tremble on the smallest child in the Union, but the dodo bird watches him with interest. Some day Mayor Parker of Georgetown, Col., will propose that the world secede from the solar system, and then the dodo bird will swoop down and fly away with the distin- guished gentleman to his natural resting place in the zanyloon tree. In the mean- time, whisper the news gently to the mon- ument at the Alamo, that Mayor Parker of Georgetown, Col., proposes that Texas join in a union with Mexico. ——__+ «+ -____ The overhead wire has been practically deprived of all scientific support and now depends almost entirely on the capital that may be behind and under it. ——_~+-—____.

THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON THURSDAY. -March 1, 1894. CROSBY S. NOYES. ............... Editor. THE EVENING STAR has «@ regular and Permanent circalati mearly le the combined circulatio: f the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no com- Detitor. t7In order to aveid delays, on ac- gount of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any individual connected with th fice, but sim: Those who claim that the Aqueduct Bridge should be given up almost exclusively to suburban railway companies because the companies cannot afford to bufld a bridge, and who fail to carry their logic to the con- clusion that the public highways ought to be donated to these and similar corpora- tions because rights of way are often very expensive, should bear in mind the proffer recently made by the Washington, Alexan- @ria and Mount Vernon Railroad Company. ‘This company desires to cross from Virginia to the District of Columbia at a point where the river is very much wider than it is at Georgetown, and it proposed, if Congress would only grant the desired permission, to build a bridge which could not only accom- mo4ate its own tracks, but on which there would be free and abundant traffic facil- ties for the general public. The structure thus planned would, if built, be much more elaborate than any yet designed to span the Potomac, with the possible exception of athe Memorial Bridge, which will, it is hoped, some day give this city direct communica- tion with Arlington. This proposition has not met with the favor of the authorities because it is desired to reserve the site which was asked for the future Memor- fal Bridge to be built by the government. But if one company can afford to offer to butid such a bridge at its own expense, en- larging instead of diminishing the public facilities, why may not several companies combine to build a bridge in the vicinity of the Three Sisters? Or, if they cannot— ‘which conclusion {s open to doubt—they might perhaps prevail upon the Alexandria and Mount Vernon people to move up- stream with their proposition and to throw @ sufficient structure across at a point un- objectionable to even the most critical. ———___ + «+ ___ Congress has not during the present session been called upon to do overmuch for the District of Columbia, so there is mothing unreasonable in calling the espe- efal attention of the national legislature— which is Washington’s common council and board of aldermen—to the poverty- stricken condition of the police relief fund. There is now urgent need of an appro- Priation and should there be failure to make this provision many dependent and extremely deserving people must suffer. At present the relief-roll calls for the dis- bursement of a little less than seventeen bundred dollars per month. This money Ys paid to police officers who have been either injured in the service or retired after many years of active industry and to the widows and children of policemen whose deaths came when the officers were engaged in the performance of duty. The District of Columbla has many dollars to its credit in the United States Treasury. but without Congressional action none of this balance can be applied to the worthy purpose contemplated by those who humanely planned and have eco- momically conducted this miniature pen- sion system. In all the city there can be found few citizens who would make even faint objection to legislation such as is meeded to make the fund permanent. Po- licemen and firemen—and perhaps it would be just as well to have one fund for these two branches of the public service—are dangerously occupied while on duty and must frequently have no thought for themselves or for those dependent upon them. If by fidelity these brave servants are disabled, it is only proper that they should be protected from actual want, and if their lives are sacrificed in the public tmterest their wives and children should be reasonably cared for. ——___+ + —___ Once more has the earth-shrouding snow vanished from the surface of the District of Columbia, and again is the voice of the base-ball enthusiast heard within the city Umits. But the voice fs not the jubilant, strident voice that was once as common here as springtime and which never fatled; wine goan pay,” sald Uncle Eben, “to to make itself heard when the alr WS) ise yoh tempuh, an’ good nature am er redolent of deals and releases and contracts gret blessin’ to a community. But dah am and schedules; it is a subdued whisper and *casions when er man hez ter git mad er querulous. Once upon a time, and not so be a hypocrit.” Yong ago, Washington could boast of an aggregation of base-ball cranks hardly to be equaled either for numbers or noise in any other city, but they are fast vanish- ing—extinguished by magnates who found more money in trading players than in win- ning games, their gleeful shouts silenced by a long succession of defeats for the home team. But the management sees a rift in the cloud, through which a ray of golden sunlight has escaped to gladden and iilume. It has arranged a deal by which ‘Washington parts with the two real players im whom it delighted and secures in return two inferior tossers and the sum of $7,500 fm cash. How pleasant! And when will the money be distributed, and how? Will it be divided pro rata among those who at- tend the greatest number of games, or are the dollars to be invested in making such useful improvements as putting a canvas awning over the bleaching-boards, for tn- stance, or in planing the rough seats? Fy the Washington management, it was an- mounced that Manager John Ward of New York was desperately furious when he dis- covered that one of his third-rate catchers and a light-weight pitcher had been swap- ped for a high-grade catcher and one of the best all-around players in the country. As a matter of fact, Manager Ward ex- presses himself as being deliriously happy at having “landed two of the biggest fishes im the base ball pond.” It ts the old, old story. Mrs. Lease is gev eloping epigram tenden- cies that may make Oscar Wilde look to his laurels. ———_—__+ + ___~ New York is now jeering at Chicago be- cause the latter has nothing to annex.
