Prince and Correspondent. It should not be forgotten that journal- ism shares in that more or less terrible personal encounter which took place near Paris Sunday morning. Prince Henry of Orleans when he offended the Italian nation sting in the capacity of a newspaper pondent. His impeachment of Italian courage appeared in one of a series of let- ters which he contributed by arrangement from Abyssinia to the Figaro of Paris. This point is noteworthy by reason of the fact that in one of the schools of journal- ism the innovation has lately been intro- duced of drafting celebrities to serve on special occasions. Signed articles on this subject and that, which heretofore have been treated by members of the regular staff, now appear from men who have never had a day's journalistic training writers of fiction were at work “s political campaign.

A An ex-United a to mamons prize ene-book success, has gone to the Kiendike It s to be gn era, indeed, for ft change of base on the part of ixious to participate in the rew nd an extended advertisement. tut Prince Henry develops the fact that this sort of thing, alluri it is, has its erils for those who yield to it. In his cas and in his environment the peril has been unusual. In becoming a correspondent for Figaro he did not cease to be Prince Henry of Orleans, for, matter of fact, had he not been Prince Henry of Orleans he would not have been a correspondent for Figaro. But he scribbles away all oblivious of this fact, indulges in the wide margin of #n amateur journalist, and presently finds himself held to account as a prince of the ood.

His vanity, or some other influence, led him to try his hand in a fleld in which he had no training, and in Which, as against the terror of that day, men of thorough training snd large con- troversial ¢ y had failed.

Geserve the occasional penalty of a fine to remind them of their duty to the com- munity. The ideal condition will be attained when not only all the householders meet their obligations to the public in respect to the parking areas, but also the authorities more effectively exclude trespassers from the cultivated lawns and gardens with the result that the fences that now guard these spaces may safely be removed. In some other cities the frort and division fences are seldom seen, and the effect is of one er lawn stretching from corner to cor- ner, giving an air of space and freedom that contributes largely to the beauty of the streets. To such an ideal Washington will surely gravitate if more attention be given by individual householders and au- thorities alike to the wonderful possibilities that present themselves. It is easier of attainment, too, now that the firm estab- lishment of civil service reform has given a guarantee of permanence to a large pro- portion of the once uncertain population. The number of home-buyers is yearly in- creasing and the direct personal interest of the average resident in the welfare and appearance of the property he occupies is advancing. Under these circumstances it is the part of wisdom for the Commission- ers to do all in their power to teach the lessor. of well-kept parkings and to bring the matter definitely to the attention of Congress whenever they encounter the necessity of additional legislation. This is no merely sentimental matter. It has its practical side. The general appearance of the city is a factor of first importance in attracting visitors to return and in inducing persons of wealth and leisure to settle here permanently. A large part of the city’s annual increase of population comes from the latter class, and it is mot too much to exp @ corresponding advance in perma- nent dwellers to result from unusual efforts to maintain the city’s lawns in prime con- ation. ——_+ + ____ The Virginian Republicans. The Virginia republicans are divided on the subject of their duty this year. Chair- man Lamb of the gtate committee and his friends are in favor of holding a state con- vention and putting a ticket in the field, while Colonel Brady of Petersburgh and Judge Waddill of Richmond head a for- idable faction holding to the opinioa that, as matters now stand, such a step is undesirable. Affairs are in quite as serious a muddle as ever they were in the latter days of General Mahone’s leadership. The republicans of the state complain bitterly of the election laws, which, as they charge, were designed to e the democrats every advantage at the polls, and which, as executed, have for years kept the demccrats in power. Why, the Brady-Waddill people argue, should the republicans this year go up against a “brace gathe?” They cannot hope for a fair count, and they have had ample ex- perience of an unfair count. Colonel Lamb ard his friends do not hold out the hope They agree to the charge of the other. faction that the dice are loaded, but, nevertheless, they insist that the party should play even if it is to lose again. Their hope is that the oftener the democrats make exhibition of their methods the sooner will come the inevita- ble revolt against them. The populists join in this arraignment of the election machinery of the state, and they insist that the law ought to be changed in the interest of fair play. But hew far they are willing to go to help bring about a change, or what a: ance they may be able to lend to that end, can- not be stated. Their numbers are un- known, and nearly all of them are ex- democrats who in the past have profited by these laws which they now denounce. A perfect working fusion between the pop- ulists and the republicans, with both par- polling their full strength, wolild de- posit a large vote in the ballot boxes, but. as the Brady-Waddill faction declare, to no purpose. The democrats, they assert, with the boxes in their possession, still would count themselves in. With the opposition torn in this and cenfessing defeat in advance no matter what may be done, the democrats would appear to be reasonably certain of winning. There is some sound money sentiment among them, but it was of no force last and will probably be of less force s year. No protest has been heard from quarter agai the re-affirmation of Chicago platform, and this leads to jor Tyler on his free silver platform will receive the support of the sound money democrats as well as of e of his own financial belief. ———_+eo ing Needed. ‘The needs of Freedmen's Hospital, so fercibly presented by the surgeon-in-chief in his report to the Secretary of the Interior, should appeal to Congress next winter and result in a substantial appro- priation for the purpose of giving this in- stitution proper buildings in which to con- duct its work. Dr. Williams calls attention to the constant danger from fire to which the frame structures of Freedmen's Hos- pital are subjected. The fire regulations of the District of Columbia would not permit the building of such firetraps at their pres- ent location, and the government should not endanger the lives of the sick and help- less who are cared for by the institution by maintaining them as hospitals. As Dr. Williams poluts out, the cost of maintain- ing these ill adapted frame structures 1s probably as great as would be the expense of providing suitable brick buildings. ——__+ ee —__. If the rules of the American pugilistt ring should govern in “affairs of honor, Prince Henry of Orleans could not expect to do any more fighting. The adherents of the Prince should put up another man to meet the Count of Turin. Perhaps a Franco-Italian championship could be es- shed. It might prove highly amusing to sporty element of society if an Abyssinian championship belt were be- upon the victor, its ownership to be retained only by readiness and ability to defend it against all com: whose representative was last vanquished. 0 ____ ‘The days of the Inquisition are over, but there are many men who would be will- ing to see harsh methods employed if they are necessary to compel the Chicago biga- mist Bates to confess how he supported seven wives on $60 a month. ———~++e—___ The time may not be distant when pro- tests against the use of horses in the streets will be seriously considered on the ground that they make people who are manag motor carriages nervous. — In connection with his candidacy, Mr. Coxey of Ohio is in @ position to claim that his party will stand as good a chance of winning as the gold democrats did last November. ——_+ +e —____ A New Treatment for Aleoholinm. | ‘The latest thing in the way of inucula- tion fs the method to cure alcoholism now announced by a San Francisco physician who says he has ween successfully treating ards for som: way wu straw-colored fluld that he calls ve of a desert waste.

If you'll take an ear of corn ycu'll notice that it isn’t to be sneezed at, when it comes to whiskers.” An Unsympathetic Mood. “Is it not sweet and inspiring,” she said, “to stand on the shore where the waves sing eternally and gaze into the offing?” “Well,” replied the young man who lacks sentiment, “I suppose that is enjoyable if ycu know how to appreciate {t. But the last time I went to the seashore I didn’t give much thought to the offing. What I wanted was an awning.” The Return of Prosperity.

The life of the congressman was on the press ready to be turned out to an anxiously waiting public, but the fire destroyed every- thing, and the young silveriie’s biographer will have a chance to favor the public by writing it over again. In Whitestone the republicans say that the fire started on the bed of the press, directly under a page cf type containing one of Mr. Sulzer’s fervid lights” of eloquence. _ (70 ————_- * He Invented Matches.
