6 ——————— THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. BIONDAY..................Same 10, 1895. CROSBY 8. NOYES................ Editor. — HE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation much more than the combined circulation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. eS t7In order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any individual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial ‘or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. ee It 1s dificult to see how there could pos- sibly exist sentiment in any way adverse to the establishing and the equipment and use of @ sufficient number of properly-lo- cated public play-grounds, Washington is exceedingly rich in parks—beautiful stretches of emerald sward shaded here and there with magnificent trees—but of parks that may be used freely by playful boys and girls there ‘a remarkable lack. That smoothly sodded lawns and carefully trimmed trees are essential to maintain this city’s high esthetic standard will not be doubted, but that they take the places’ of reservations on which the exuberant youngsters may have full swing in harm- less amusements cannot be contended for an instant. What is needed here now is a system of play-grounds in which the chil- dren, and even some who are too large to be known as children, shall have ample op- portunities to indulge in healthful athletic exercises. As things now are, there is only one place within the city limits, ex- cept on vacant lots, where boys may play base-ball. It is not enough that a portion of the Monument grounds should be set apart for this purpose, for so far as a very large proportion of the small boys are concerned the Monument grounds might as well be in Baltimore. Every section of the city should have its public play-ground. There would be actual economy in the es- tablisment of such resorts, for the boy who 1s engaged in expanding his lungs and Increasing his muscular powers by de- votion to juvenile athletics is not likely to find his way into our reformatory or penal institutions. Of course such grounds would need careful superintendence and it would be the duty of the authorities to render impossible the repeated presence of im- proper characters. No better investment of public money could be made than in the establishment of half a dozen pubi.c play- grounds. ——__+ > _____ Next Friday will be Flag Day. A year or two ago people who were ordinarily re- garded as well.informed were asking “What is Flag Day?" This year the great majority of Americans know that it is a day set apart by common consent for wor- ship of the Stars and Stripes. Not blind idolatry; not worship in a narrow, dog- maatic sense; but the worship of pure pa- triotism—a religion that never did anything but elevate the whole nature of those who entered its temple. Originating in the pub- lic schools, the celebration of Flag Day has grown to tremendous proportions; the proceedings next Friday will be actively participated in by millions of the men, Women and children who have a realizing sense of those things of which the flag is a symbol. A continuous menace to American insututions is the lack of national cohe- sion due to the great variety of sources Whence has come and continues to come the population of the republic, Flag Day brings citizens and would-be citizens to- gether on one common platform; a plat- iorm that knows no other “ism” than Americanism. Washington will. this year participate mors than ever in dutiful ador- #uon of the national colors, Those who are agitating this matter predict that there Will be few people in Wasmington next Fri- day who wil be undecoraied. oe The Austrian government blundered yes- terday when it uad (he Viennese police in- lertere with and prevent the holuing of a public meeung at woich ten thousand work- i.gmen were to listen to speeches con- demuatory of the franchise scheme insisted upon by the munisiry. In the press dis- patches trom vienna it is not even in- Mmated that the program which was ashed could be regarded by reasonable Yeings as irrational or threatening. Of victory Was With the police m the waich followed the arrest of the leauers, but a few more such victories will cause Austria much more of trouble than Would have resulted trom a defeat. It is a dangerous thing for even a strong govern- mcut to oppose the right of public assembly end tree speech. There are umes when the right of Iree speech is abused, but, lovking at the occurrences of yesterday trom the Ameri point of view, there was no necessity ior the official violence which keems to have been so conspicuously dis- played. It is entirely proper for Austrian Workingmen to want the ballot, and they should be permitted to make known their desires as io representation in the forces of government. +2 ___ Washingtonians who have in their employ men who are members of the District Na- tional Guard are, it is understood, behav- ing liberally in the matter of granting leave to those employes, so that they may attend the brigade encampment which com- mences at Fort Washington next Thursday “nd continues for ten days. In only a few instances have insuperable difficulties been thrown in the way of the soldiers. The District of Columbia is unquestionably proud of its troops, and it is not at all likely that those business and professional men who are broad enough to recognize in the duty to be done at Fort Washington a public work. that may some of these days be of great vaiue, will suffer because of their liberality. -— oe | About twenty-eight men did what they could today to keep things going in, on and around the new city post-office building. The carved prophecy of completion by 1897 is daily being discredited by those who are responsible for the carving. mee It Is hoped that the new woman will not deny her husband a seal-skin overcoat every winter. 0 It is understced that the judges of the court of common pleas of Philadelphia have concluded to w black silk gowns, and close on the heeis of t ment comes the intimation t e judges phia court of quarter ses- | ly decide to wear scarlet | vanying these two* deeply : statements is the probability fort w to have members the P bar wear gewns also. Foundation for the gossip 's In an interview with Judge Bregy, who says: “I was one of the starters of the agita- ticn, and I was prompted by what might be termed the lack of dignity and respect to the court. I have noticed while sitt ch hearing cases that wi: of them have been Questions carelessly, and y indifferent to their sur- if judges on the bench appeared roundings ut | vrom the © vinced that it would e court which would not press upon witnesses 't due to the law, results from wit- add decorum to the greatly lacks. I am ot only of the judges iuce bette J, an fact, ch it no in faver, tay of the civil courts wearing black gowns, but also of the judges oF the criminal courts appearing in robes of scarlet. In fact, I would like to see all of the memi- bers of the bar gowned.” The average man will find it somewhat difficult to understand the anti-toothpick- chewing powers of scarlet or black gowns, but it is certain that no witness could ap- Pear utterly indifferent to his surroundings if there should be perched at his right or left hand a judicial figure clad either in a rebe reminiscent of the inquisition or be- decked with a uniform gorgeous enough to satisfy the drum-major of a red-coated British regiment. Perhaps the gowns would add dignity to the court, but after all the dignity ts in the man and not in the gar- ment. The Supreme Court of the United States might appear to be less judicial without the fiowing robes, but the proba- bilities are that no one would respect the court any the less if it wore ordinary garb. If the gowns are proper, then it may be asked why not adopt the wigs also? As to gowning all the members of the bar, there will doubtless be great diversity of opin- ion. It does well enough in England, where reverence for all the varieties of author- ity is a national characteristic, but on this side of the Atlantic the irrepressible smail boy will have to be considered before such @ radical change could be undertaken. —_— +++ —___—_ After the positive statement that Mr. Harrison’s visit to Mr. Wanamaker had no Political significance whatever, any insinu- ation that the ex-postmaster-general’s ad. writer is being negotiated for in connection with the presidential campaign would be little better than slanderous. ——___-+ ee —____ The unanimity with which the newspaper ‘scoop” on the appointment of Secretary Olney is claimed would suggest that the syndicate-exclusive has become one of the possibilities of journalism. —_—_+ + +___.
