The banquet tendered to Ex-Governor Shepherd last night by the citizens of Wash- ington not only gives honor where honor is due and is thus interesting and instructive from the personal point of view, but it is useful, like all similar events, in fostering the local public spirit which displays itself in energetic labors for municipal improve- ment. It is of no small importdnce to a city to assemble around a table a hundred men of affairs, who are led by the spirit of the oc- eusion to talk in conversation or in speeches abcut the welfare of the city, its past, pres- ent and future, and to exchange ideas as to the betterment of the community. Such gatherings as that of last night tend to crystallization of thought, and the forma- tion and pushing of energetic plans for the public benefit. At this banquet men were present who were in a position to. talk in- telligently and interestingly of the past, to draw valuable contrasts with the present, and to note the progress of the national capital, as viewed by themselves, and so to afford a clear perspective toward the future. ‘The Greater Washington and the national capital in its final and beautiful form as designed by the first President and as re- vived and advanced .by Gov. Shepherd will become a fact all the sooner by virtue of these gatherings, which give an impetus to that public spirit which derives its greatest force from harmony of thought and pur- pose, and which must be inspiredgand fos- tered in any community before great ob- jects are attained —____ + e+ -__ Chaplain of the House. It is to be hoped that the western Con- gressmen who are “booming” a Topeka clergyman for the place of chaplain of the next House will be in season convinced of the justice of the rule that has so long prevailed by virtue of which a local clergyman has been elected to that office. ‘The District of Columbia, having no repre- sentatives In Congress, has never aspired to any of the elective offices included in the organization of that body except this, the jeast of all, and, indeed, has never made any direct claim upon it, but it has been usually granted as a courtesy, appreci- ation of which has-been shown in efficient, conscientious service. The salary attached to this office is small and is not sufficient to warrant acceptance by a clergyman from a distance. It is only enough to reim- burse the occupant of the office for the respersibility of being present at his post gaily at a certain hour, a duty which may seriously interfere with his pastoral af- ‘s. In every Congress in which there are many new members this notion of con- sidering the chaplaincy as “patronage,” to be traded upon and granted as a politi- cal prize, is more or less apt to prevail, but with very few exceptions the advocates of the good and sensible system of electing # local chaplain have carried the day and {t is desirable that this result should be ob- tained in the forthcoming organization of the House. a jcensing Pool Rooms. It ls unfortunate that the law regarding the Mcensing of pool rooms is such that a license had to be issued to the proprietor of the place opposite the Central High School without inquiry. This place is badly lo- cated. The law ought to be amended so a3 to give the official issuing the license authority to Investigate each case and to treat the establishment in the same way as a bar-room. ¥et the neighbors who claim to be annoyed by the proximity of thls and similar places should bear some of the responsibility of the effort to rid them of the nufsance and should be prompt in their action. The law’s present inadc- quacy must be cured as far as possible by the energetic efforts af the people. i ee - Baltimore's new mayor has given early evidence of a determination to conduct his administration of the city’s affairs on non- partisan lines. His first appointments were divided between the parties, and he has often declared, and he repeated yesterday * gt the inauguration, that he intended to re- form the mayor's office on a broad basis, and to divorce his administration as far as possible from politics. Inasmuch as Mr. Hooper has obtained his office through the support of the friends of clean government in both parties he owes these promises and their complete fulfilment to them. It ts in his power to carry out this program, but tt remains to be seen whether he will be strong enough to withstand the great party pressvre for place that Is the chief obstacle of the munictpal reformer. +02 Secretary Carlisle has adopted a sensible plan in forwarding the local estimates to Congress without alteration. He cannot be expected to investigate the numerous items of the budget, while attending to the serious bus'ness of conducting the great system of national finance and while making esti- mates for the whole country. It is not to him that the congressional District com- mittees look for detailed information in respect to the local estimates, but to the Commissioners, who are thoroughly ac- sted with each particular and who are fore competent to explain the reasons ‘ons and to argue intelli- st any proposition to reduce the Est or volume of expenditures. _ + ee —__ It would be interesting to know the can- 4i4 opinion of a man like ex-Governor Shep- ig the deliberate manner in w post-office Is going up. eee Every once in a w!

With a hoy murderer confessing his crime in > nd two boy train-wreck- of their awful offense in Rome, N. Y., there is sufficient evidence that the sociologists of America will soon have to qirn their serious attention to the young- er gererations of the criminally inclined if they hope to effect a tinal reformation or a partial reduction of the criminal classes !n this country. Probably the most profitable effort is that which is directed to a curtail- ment of the in to the production of such precociously evil members of society. Some inkling of the nature es leading to these premature developments of mischievous in- val true of the stincts found in the fact that in New York city alone the school accommodations are so insufficient that it is estimated that over twe thousand children of school Jse are daily foreed into the streets. The misfortune is that these children are the very ones that most seriously need the re- straint of instruction. The children of the rich and the retined are amply provided for in public or private schools, and it is only in the poor ¢ vs of the great city that the seneol facilities fail to meet the demands. ‘These are the children, too, whose surround- uences that apparently lead | ings suggest and encourage crime and who are brought into daily contact with evil deeds and evil talk, and the chief aim of whose parents is to be rid of their care or to have them employed in remunerative occu- pations without regard to the moral effect upon their natures. These children have just enough knowledge to be able to read the trash that, under the name of books, can be found at low prices at every corner news stand, and are in condition to poison their minds by readily absorbing these moral bacilli. While it would be difficult to draw the line between the good and the bad for the purpose of such a prevention, the situa- tion is today so serious that the friends of child-reform in the cities would be justified in asking for legislation prohibiting under penalty the sale of such books to children under a certain age, just as the law today in many of the states makes it a crime to sell liquer and tobacco to minors. What these chemically poisonous agencies dre to the physical natures, the sensational literature, known @enerically as the “dime novel,” is to the moral nature of the child. —_—_ ++ Corbett and Fitzsimmons are no doubt im- pressed by the fact that while they have been dawdling over prize-ring challenges, Sir Henry Irving and other Engiish competi- tors have taken time by the forelock and gathered in a let of _— American box- office recéipts. + += — If the amount that Chicago is willing to subscribe for the privilege of entertaining a political convention is to be taken as an irdication of the profit expected, the pres- ent is the proper time for any intending visitor to ask how much ham they expect to put into their sandwiches. —__+ e+ ____ In connection with the yacht-race, Lord Dunraven appears to be about the only Englishman who is not a_ little bit ashamed of himself. —___+ +e.

His eyes were half-closed in a reverie which the smile on his lips showed was pleasant. He paid no attention io the other travelers who were in the same section with him—one of them a quiet, neatly- dressed gentleman, and the other sleek, slightly rotund, and with a large diamond scarf pin. “Ah,” murmured the gentleman in the ecstatic mood, who had been beating time with his forefinger, “Wagner!
