WHILE CoNGREss is celebrating what
is best TO be done to protect our native-born
citizens, we have a case right to the point
in this city, occurring in the experience of
a native of Great Britain. Mrs. Evange-
line Trenifdi, Friend and the daughter of
a lifelong friend and correspondent of the
late Senator Sumner, a lady who has a
poem which she has written TO deliver to
his memory, has been elected from her
boarding house, for inviting a respectable
o0lVEvd sNHtleFaasy who ministers 10 one
of the Methodist churches in this city, into
the parlor long enough to take his name
and number. Other gentlemen she has
been compelled to receive on the front
door steps of her boarding house, among
them Hon. Mr.. Bassett, United States Min
lister 10 Hayti. We chronicle the event
and leave it to speak for itself

SENATOR WINDOW has written an able
letter to a Western journal in favor of the
creation of a new department of the Gov
eminent, TO be known as the Department
Of Commerce. The commercial interests
Of the country are so large and vast that
department of the kind would seem to be
absolutely necessary. The advice of
purely mercantile man in the Cabinet
would undoubtedly be Of immense value
to any administration and of great service
TO the country.

THE latest illustration of the exact con-
dition of the District and its inhabitants in
the Union is that it is like fort, an arsenal
or a navy yard. This comes from Mr.
Thurman. Whoever heard of the occu-
pants of fort or a navy yard being COM
PEELED to pay its running expenses and sup
porting it?

AMONG the art treasures of the capital,
where of late has centred so much that is alike
rich and joyous and inestimable in this par
ticular direction of cultivated civilization, and
where the purest appreciation goes intimately
in hand with observant and impartial criticism,
we noted yesterday at Barlow's the presence
of one of the only two existing portraits known
to have been painted from life of the pioneer,
Daniel Boone, in whose great fame three com
munities of the Union-PennsylVania, Noni
Carolina and, above all, Kentucky, more espe-
ciaIly-united in reverence and generation as
being the Commonwealth that respectively
gave him birth, domestic happiness, and the
imperial glory of founding State. But this
honored and ever memorable name in Ameri-
can annals is also the property of the whole
country, and as such should be treasured
among the most illustriOus memories of the
nation now preserving the images of our an
cestors in canvas and in bronze. The portrait
is an authenticated original, painted in Mis-
souri,, and is thoroughly vouched for in the
traditions of the famed Anderson family of the
State of Ohio. 1t was purchased about the
year 1920 by Colonel Paul Anderson, of Ohio,
and was by him presented to Captain Charles
N. Strader, of Louisville, the honored father
of the present owner, Colonel John H. Strader,
of this city, in whose family it has beeu for
half century. 1t is a graceful and dignifed
work of art, though in this respect not perhaps
of the highest form of artistic excellence, but
derives its chief and really very great value
from the fact of its well established authen-
ITCHY as painting from life of the hardy and
distinguished pioneer. Judged from this paint
ing there is no uncertainty or absence Of frank
ness about the character or force of this great
leader in the formative grandeur Of a sovereign
State, or the construction of a civilization that
has exerted so vast an influence for good on
the republic ct large. This extraordinary
man obtained q foremost place in the
very front rank of pioneers, and will
always be remembered as Of his epoch
like the sturdy men of the Mayfower- per-
feet representative of those who led the van of
civilization up to its position Of to-day. In
this view Daniel Boone is at once an American
idol and exemplar. His name and fame will
never fail 10 captivate the largest and heartiest
affections Of the American people.
