THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. Xi eewesesss++ May 30, 1804, CROSBY 5S. NOYES. — ‘THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation much more tham the combined circulation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Mediam it has no competitor. ot be jreased to any individual connected with the of- fice, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business it, to tenor or purpose. = Today, in every cemetery in the land where le the ashes of soldiers who once ‘wore the Union blue se marched beneath the Stars and Stripes, the hands of men and women and chidren have brightened the verdant moucds with offerings whose voiceless lps xe moved by nature's in- fluences to pecfumed uttera.ces in which ¥ratitude and patriotism are blended as they never can be even in the words of the Most eloquent of men. It is a day that should never be neglected, never be per- mitted to pass by unrecognized, for it has within its hours, whether they be gilded with sunshine or clouded by stormy shad- ows, lessons that may profitably be im- pressed upon the minds of those who never knew the horrors of that strife which threatened to rend this country asunder and shatter the cornerstone of free gov- ernment. Thirty years ago today the men of the north and the men of the south sought to destroy each other; there were the shrieking she:l and whistling bullet, the rumble of wheels, the tramp of armies, the thunder of hoofs, the battlecry, the cheers of the victors, the sobs of the van- quished, the moans of the wounded, the ghastly silence of the dead. Camps and hospitals exchangel material, while over countless hearts galloped the pale horse and his grim rider. Today there is the peace which was bought with a price, to the immensity of which ransom let the half million of Union graves and the million surviving soldiers bear testimony. These latter were active witnesses today; lame, halt, blind; some moving painfully on pur- chased legs and swinging empty sleeves; others conscious of wounds that in three decades have never ceased to torture; a few sound of body; all with silver-streaked hair beneath their familiar headgear. All ‘were out, if getting out was possible, and those who were physically able tramped as best they could to the last resting places of comrades whose bones are dust, but who live in memories that know not how to forget valor. Then there were the women of the war, women of whose tenderness and self-sacrifice not even the half has been told; they honored their departed sisters deservedly with the sweetest of blossoms. | One of the more easily noticeable changes wrought by time was in those who deliver- ed most of the Memorial Day orations in this vicinity. Hitherto this duty has been performed by veterans, but this year much of the eloquence was dispensed by men who were little boys when their fathers and their bigger brothers went forth for the preservation of the Union; their loyalty is no less than was that which impeiled their loved ones to battle for the right. ‘The old men are content to listen to im- pressions their own deeds created. In Washington and in many other cities, the custom of decorating the graves of Union veterans has teen so extended that It now includes the graves of all—soldier and civil- jan, federal, confederate, man and woman. ‘There is no more beautiful tribute by which honor may be done the departed. —__+ +o Senator Hill ts right. The investigation Is to determine the truth or falsehood of certain charges against Senators, and not to discover and punish those who made the accusations, on the assumption that they are false. The statement was printed that ®@ lobbyist had attempted to bribe Senator Hunton and Senator Kyle. If instead of questioning these two Senators and the alleged would-be briber on the subject, the investigating committee, carefully refrain- ing from recourse to these natural wit- nesses, had summoned newspaper men, and questioned them as to the persons who had told them of the attempted bribery, and threatened to imprison them if they did not disclose, the Buttz investigation would have been as farcical as the sugar investigation. ‘There is no reason why a different course should be pursued in the two inquiries. First, let the Senators and others reflected upon testify that the accusations are false; then will be the fitting time to discover and punish the makers and circulators of libel- ous statements. 2 ee Practical politicians should hasten to kid- nap Mr. John J. Kenny, who for some time past has been regarded as Staten Island's county clerk. They should lock him up be- fore he bites some of the many officials to be found within a radius of twenty-five miles of New York's city hall. In 4 state- ment made by Mr. Kenny he says that when he took his office on the first day of January last he believed that he had been honestly elected, but that subsequent in- vestigation satisfied him that John Ells- worth, the republican who ran against him last fall, was really entitled to the position nd the remuneration which accompanies it. Mr. Kenny has turned over the job to Mr. Elisworth. This is a pernicious exam- ple of which the new Tammany boss should at once take cogit ance. ~~ oe The mine owners of the Cour d'Alene Yegion are advertising for four thousand miners to work at wages of $2 and $3 per day; the planters of the Mississippi delta are preparing to bring in a number of south European farm laborers to work in their cotton fields, because they cannot secure sufficient help in this country, and several thousand “industrials” are tramp- img through the United States in the di- rection of Washington, figuring as involun- tarily unemployed American workingmen. Will not those who really desire work march in the direction of the point where work can be obtained, thus bringing the labor deniand anz supply into conjunction? — see It is a happy Decoration Day thought that the United States has today the most eco- nomical peace armament, in proportion to its size, in the world. Nor is this as much @ matter of course as might appear at first glance, for the fact has been dawning more and more cle2rly upon the European mind that peace is about the most costly state, after all. Attention to this anomaly as re- cently been drewn by M. de Blowitz, who, im an article in the June number of Mc- Clure’s Magazine, alludes to the “intoler- able peace” of tz2 Continent as a thing not much longer to be endured. This expert on the subject of the literature of warfare, and all that relates to it, has developed a most finportant phase of the European situation. He calls attention to the vast expense of the peace footing of the great countries, and, after speaking of the great desire for a continuation of the harmonious con- ditions on the part of the Pope, the Czar, Francis Joseph, Humbert, Bismarck, Will- fam, and the King of Denmark, he says: come for these people for pean war would be only a acie, to take the initiative of calling a sort of preliminary meeting of all those who dream of the preservation of peace, and to appeal to the rulers of Europe to reassure the world by adopting in con- cert a practical measure of peace; namely, the reduction to a year and a quarter of fective military service, while main‘aining the principle of obligatory universal service. Two countries can take this initiative, the United States and England; the United States because it is removed by an estrang- ing sea from all chance of participation in a European war, England, because it is separated from the Continent by the silver girdle of the Channel, rendering it Invul- ferable, whatever ters aunt the brains of those who crea ttle of Dorking.’ 1 should like to see men from burdens under which they are now self-op- pressed.” The theory of M. de Blowitz is that there is no country now among the Continental rations willing to take the initiative in this important reform; that all that is needed is retrenchment to convince the world that war is not desired; that economy is the surest argument for peace. Incidentally, economy would enable each couniry to re- store the energies that must have heen wasted by a quarter of a century of “de- vastating peace,” energies both of the finan- cial and the physical resources of the peo- ples that have contributed so heavily to the war preparations of Europe. “The whole nation,” he says, “is under arms. A coun- try is no longer a country, a people is no longer a people; a nation is now nothing but an army, and a country is only a barrack. If war breaks out, all professions will be- come deserted, all functions abandoned. The life of the nation stops so that national activity may be said to begin again only with the blood that is shed.” It is, therefore, a comforting and a reas- suring thovght that this country, with its small army and comparatively small navy, its economical fortifications and its uparse appropriations for munitions of war, is now in a position to teach the belligerent nations of the Old World the art of making, and, better still, of keeping peace. It is a good thing, on this Memorial Day, when the nation is weeping over the graves of those who fell in its defense, to remember that here fs a spectacle for the bettering of the intolerable conditicns across the Atlantic. It is a wholesome idea, and one that should make every good American glad at heart. —__-—+ += _____ ‘The third triennial meeting of the Con- gress of American Physicians and Surgeons, which opened yesterday in this city directs attention to the fact that Washington is rapidly becoming the sclentific, educational, artistic and literary center of the western hemisphere, In the city’s population the percentage of those who have distinguished themseives in the four lines indicated is much greater than that possessed by any other city on this side of the Atlantic. There are continual additions to the force of learned men and women who have elected to live and study in the District of Columbia, which will soon be the place whence a very large proportion of this country’s scientific information will issue. There is, therefore, much here that is con- genial to those who come to the capital to attend such gatherings as this Congress of Physicians and Surgeons. Long ago Wash- ington fairly earned the sub-title of “The Ccnvention City;” it is more than that now; it is the chosen meeting-place of those who desire to be in close touch with all that is best and most advanced in our civilization. At is hoped that the papers and discussions which, during the sessions of the conven- tion will occupy the attention of the mem- bers of the congress will result in great good to the human race and in the adding of renewed glory to the medical reputation. ———_ + «+ —__ People who read with a good deal of in- terest the story of a duel which was al- leged to have taken place in Boston on Sat- urday evening may or may not be relieved at the later information which announces that the Boston police and the persons named as principals in the bloody combat have denied that any such affray took Place.

Do you properl yen the fact that the souvenirs of the Summer Season “‘Open= ing” are new summer goods at the yar appar prices? Let’s glance at the list. It tells that best quality Swivel Silks are offe 34cyd. A Philadelphia lady said this en ing that ‘“‘the two leading stores of Philadel- phia are asking 37¢ a yard and the rush for them is terrific.” The list below also tells you that $1.25 Check Taffeta Silks are 89c during the “Opening.” That these are the very latest silks for summer, and that they are $1.25 quality is equally certain. Equall: Sertaien they will not be 89c after the “Opening” week terminates. The fact is this souvenir list is not eloquent enough. A list of reduced prices for remnants of old stocks can be made to leok as weil in print as this men= tion of ahalf million dollars’ worth of new goods. For instance, it says: “$12 Serge Blazer Suits for $9.75.’ That could be written of two or three old style suits that were dear at $12. .The fact is these suits are made of best non-fading serge and are tailor finished, trimmed with best moire silk. They are to be the Palais Royal’s $12 specialty for the summer season and as sucht will compare with those usually offered at $15. Look carefully through the list below and give the Palais Royal credit for practical souvenirs that virtually cost several thou- sands of dollars—cost what the week’s profits would amount to.
