Dw. fe8-1m SCHOOL CELEBRATIONS. Some Interesting Programs Not Here- tofore Included in the List. The following programs of exercises in the public schools in honor of Washington's birthday were not included in the list pub- lished in The Star yesterday: At the Brookland School the exercises took place in the town hall, which was filled with parents and friends. “Old Glory” reigned supreme in everything. Mr. W. S. Daniels gave an interesting address to the school, in which he touched princi- pally upon the sterling qualities of Wash- ington as a man, a soldier and a statcsman. The continental drill was a unique affair. The program was as follows: : Song, America, school; recitation, Crown Washington, K. Noel; recitation, Wa: ington by Years, four girls and three b from Miss Given’s room; song, The Flower Liberty, school; recitation, The Hatchet Story, seven boys of Miss Bogan’s class; drill, thirteen boys of the sixth, seventh and eighth grades; song, Freedom's Flag, school; song, Red, White and Blue; ad- dress, Mr. W. 8.

The pupils left the buliding singing “Stand by the Flag. Yesterday was patriotically observed at the Woodburn School. In the lower grades songs and simple recitations passed away the time. In the fourth and fifth the life of Washington was discussed, and essays written upon the greaf*Sthfesman in the fifth «rade. In Miss Kihg's room, includ- ing the sixth, seventh and eighth grades an elaborate program was rendered, as fol- lows: Chorus, ‘Freedom.’ sghool; reading, “Washington’s Boyhoad.

The pupils of the Franklin School were assembled for thelr Washington's birthday exercises in the room of the Nurmal School, whose walls had been tastefully draped with flags and bunting .and blackboards filled with well-executed flustrations, ap- propriate to the occasion. The size of the assembly room necessitated the division of the pupils into three audiences, and the rendering of three programs. The first four grades met together, and their exer- cises consisted of the singing of patriotic songs, the giving of short quotations, reci- tations, etc., an effort being made to have as many as possible of the children take an active part. The fifth and sixth grades next met and carried out a somewhat sim- ilar program, in addition to which Superin- tendent W. B. Powell gave one of his pleas- ant talks. ‘The seventh and eighth grades gathered last. The principal, Dr. E. G. Kimball, introduced the presiding officer, Dr. H. L. B. Johnson, and the following” program was rendered: Flag salute, school; reading, “The American Flag,” Madge Standiford; song, ‘The Star Spangled Ban- ner,” school; McKinley on Washington's farewell address, Ernest Kelly; selections from the farewell address, Russell Willson; recitation, “The Ship of State,” Cecelia Mulle: address, Rev. Dr. J. G. Butler; song, “America,” school. Warren Eynon acted as color bearer and. Ethel Howard as pianist. The address of Dr. Butler was one which was thoroughly enjoyed by his youthful listeners. Dr. Johnson, made concluding remarks, after which, at the suggestion of the prin- cipal, a cordial vote of thanks was extended to the presiding officer ahd ithe orator. —— uk Au Uncleanly—Jceman.

THE SUBJECT DISCUSSED Local men for local offices that are sup- ported by the money of local people was the principle indorsed yesterday afternoon at a special meeting of the Washington board of trade. The sentiment was con- tained in resolutions which represented the crystallized views of the earnest and loyal citizens of the District of Columbia, regard- less. of their political affiliations. There was some objection expressed to the board of trdde taking such action, not througa opposition to the principle declared, but on the ground of a possible impropriety in a possible assumption from the resolutions that the incoming President intended io violate this principle. But when it was made clear from a second reading of the resolutions that there was no reflection contained therein upon any President, past, present or future, the opposition to the general declaration of principle practically disappeared. : ‘The meeting was called to order by Presi- dent S. W. Woodward, who stated its ob- ject, and Mr. John B. Wight occupied his place as secretary. Without preliminary remarks Mr. Theodore W. Noyes introduced the resolutions indorsing the principle of home rule in the District. The Resolutions. They were as follows: “Whereas the official affairs of a munici- pality are necessarily best conducted by residents thereof, acquainted with local conditions and needs and responsive to the local public sentiment which finds a voice in the praise or blame of their neighbors, while the importation of non-residents to fill such offices exposes a municipality to the tender mercies of officials often ignor- ant of local affairs and unrestrained by respect for a wholesome local senimeni; “And whereas it is equitable in the cases of offices sustained directly or indirectly by tees paid exclusively by local property owners or taxpayers that those who con- tribute the funds should have a prevailing voice in designating the officials to be com- pensated exclusively from their contribu- tions; “And whereas the nation has wisely rec- ognized the applicability of the above stated principles to local appointments in the District of Columbia, and has, through Congress, enacted that a three years’ resi- dence is essental to eligibility to appoint- ment as a civilian District Commissioner, and has in the platforms of both great po- itical parties extendec this condition of eligibility to the other local federal offices, by declaring, either specifically concerning the District or generatly concerning the District under the classification of terri- tories, that all the federal officers appointed for it should be selected from bona fide residents thereof; therefore be it “Resolved, That the Washington board of trade, mindful of the welfare of this mu- nicipality, heartily indorses this action of the political parties and of Congress, and the sound principles upon which it is and declares its firm conviction that th assurances against the use of the local offices as rewards to non-residents for na- tional and partisan political servic ren- dered should never letter or in spirit. Mr. Perry’s Interesting Re Mr. R. Ross Perry seconded the motion of Mr. Noyes for their adoption in concise and be violated either in well-balanced words. He said that there was hardly a locality elsewhere where a meeting would be called for such a purpose. In Boston, New York, St. Louis, San Francisco or other cities it was naturally assumed at the advent of an administra- tion that their own people would get the federal offic and it would be regarded as singular if local offices were not ad- ministered by local men. The principle of home rule was inherent in ail people. Be- fore the English conquest the idea was everywhere pre-eminent that local affairs should be locally administered. It had been the birthright for a thousand years, and was a part of our very biood. He asked why Washington should be different’ in this regard and why its citizens should find it necessary to meet and declare them- selves in favor of such an inalienable and recognized right, and said it was because Washington was regarded as the national city and more than local. No one would dispute that, continued Mr. Perry, nor that it was necessary in one court of appeals that men representing national interests should be represented because so many national questions arose here for settle- ment. Our population was not local, but international in its character; but there was a distinctly local side to it, and this should be managed by local men. The local fed- cral officials were engaged exclusively in local matters, and received their emolu- ments from money derived from fees paid by local people. They were confined in their consideration of affairs to local interests exclusively, and he accordingly believed, just as every one he was acquainted with believed, that such offices should not be filled by other than local men. It was not necessary for them to be citizens by birth at all, but citizens by reason of their in- terests and energy. To the objection that Washington was a national city, it was fully answered by saying the local popula- tion was national, and there was no rea- son why men whose interests are loca) should not fill the local offices. Mr. C. C. Lancaster objected to drawing a home rule proposition so close that it would prevent men who retained their vot- ing franchise in other states, but who re- sided and had their interests here, from holding local offices. He did not want to have it said on the outside that the board of trade was using devious means to com- pass such a situation. He did not consider, however, that the resolutions which had been offered had that effect. Mr. Edson’s Views. Mr. John Joy Edson said the question of home rule in the District was not a new one. He doubted if one man in a thousand could be found who questioned its justice or propriety. It was entirely non-partisan in its bearings, and demo- its and republicans alike agreed cn it. He wondered what the mayor cf Cleve- land would say if Washingtonians wanted him to appoint one of their number record- er of deeds in his city, for instance. Be- cause the national government owned one- half the realty and contributed one-half the District expenses was no reason why it_should nominate strangers to the local offices. It already had most of them. Con- gress is the legislature, and District peo- ple had no voice in what they wanted. The treasurer of the United States was treasurer of the District; its auditor was auditor of the. District, and the President was virtually its mayor. Local affairs, he declared, should be conducted ty men who represent those whose affairs are governed. Mr. Ward Thoron thought the question of home rule was largely a matter of sen- timent, and that the only problem to be considered was not wko controlled affairs, but how the government of them was con- ducted. He had lived in Washington ten years ‘and had heard it said universally that we had the best government on earth and best conducted. He thought possibly it might be better to have non-residents fill the offices, because they would bring im- partiality to the performance of their du- An East Washington Commissioner. Mr. Josiah Millard arose at this point and precipitated the subject of East Washing- ton’s right to be represented on the board of District Commissioners into the discus- sion. He said he had lived in that section twenty-five years, and no representative of that section had been on the board since the present system of government was created. He submitted an amendment to the resolutions providing that the board of trade recommend that one Commissioner — appointed to represent East ‘Washing- President Woodward declared the : out of ee germane to thé “Sir George Ie. Memmons next spoke: ize said Mr. Thoron probably did not realize that the citizens of Washington had lon since given up their right to self-govern- ment. He for one would never be satis- fled With any other than the p#esent form, but the citizens had an unquestioned right to have offices supported alone by fees that come out of the pockets of Washing- tonfans filled by Washingtonians also. The board of trade in considering the question was merely upholding a principle recogniz- ed in the platforms of both the great po- litical parties. Afraid of Poss! This caused Mr. W. C. Dodge to inquire if the adoption of such resolutions would not be a reflection cn a President who had pledged himself, by accepting a nomination on a platform containing such a plank, to uphold the principle of home rule. Mr. Archibald Greenless sald he did not approve of the board of trade being called together to occupy Itself over two or three little matters when there were more im- portant matters, such as water, taxation, and so forth, to consider. The board had gained its strength and power by con- sidering vital subjects. He was in favor of home rule, but not in favor of the board lowering itself to the degree of haggling about offices. The republican party was pledged to home rule and its successful candidate could be safely depended on to carry out the pledge. not to tread on the dangercus ground of politics because of the injury that might ensue to its influence for good. Julian Dowell said the board of trade was a non-political body composed of democrats and republicans, and just the proper agent to present to the President the unanimous views of the people that those who manage thelr local affairs should be local pecple. He was himself a resident and a voter in Maryland, coming in every day to Washington to transact his business here, but he would not accept office here himself and did not believe any other non- resident should he allowed to. Mr. Weston Flint coincided with the sug- gestion of caution made by Mr. Lancaster, in respect to the scope of the home-rule declaration. An Invitation Not Accepted. After some further discussion Mr. T. W. Noyes said that most of the objections raised applied only to the wisdom of a ccnsideration of this topic by the board of trade. He had not been one of the members to request the calling of a special meeting to censider this subject, but he assumed that the meeting had been regularly called for a specific and announced purpose, and the topic, whether its consideration was judicious ‘or injudicious, was squarely be fore the board and had been thorougi discussed. Having thus considered th merits of the matter the board would un- doubtedly now courageously express its real opinion on the important principle in- velved. The resolutions had Seen so word- ed as to avoid the other objections sug- gested. He challenged any one to find in the resolutions an assumption that any President intended to violate any pledg: They merely placed the board of trade on record as indorsing a declaration of prin- ciples which every speaker had said that he individually favored. He invited: any member to point out in the resolutions any words which would reasonably justify him in voting against his own declared views upon the general principle involved. At the request of Mr. R. A. Phillips the resolutions were again read. No one sug- gested their amendment. tion on their adoption was put a letter w read from Mr. Simon Wolf strongly com- mending the principles they enunciated. The resolutions were then adopted by a viva voce vote, only one or two negatives be ing distinguishable. When the result was annevrced Mr. Millard sought to intro- uce a resolution providing that the board of trade favored the abolishment of the present form of government in the District, and 1ecommended the substitution of a form providing for flve Commissioners, one of whom was to be selected from each of the four sections of tne city proper, and one frcm the county. Mr. Millard’s proposition went over to the next regular meeting. The special meeting then adjourned. Sea ee DISAGREEING POPULISTS.

Sovereign of the Knights of Labor was made ite president. This is the out- come of two days’ work by the half hundred populist editors who refused to recognize the right of President Paul Vandervoort to cali a meeting of the National Reform Pr Association at Memphis, and who went to Kansas City in response to.a call from Na- uonal Secretary-treasurer Roselle. Prob- ably the most interesting event of the day came at the very close of the gathering, when National Secretary of the Executive Committee J. A. Edgerton, whose work in the meeting had been most active, refuse to subscribe to the constitution of the new order. The next annual meeting of the new association will be held at Omaha a year hence. The following reply was received from the officers and executive board of the Memphis meeting to Chairman Vincent's telegram asking for a more definite an- swer to the interrogation propounded in his morning dispatch: “We yield superiority to none in a sin- cere desire to preserve harmony, and we assure you of our profound regret that there should be any differences in our ranks growing out of the construction or miscon- struction of the organic law of this organ- ization.
