A Word at Parting.


The crowd that has come and partially
gone-for many remain and seem loath to
leave us-have received certain impress
sions respecting Washington city. AS far
as we have heard or learned, these are
favorable and complimentary. As this
conclusion is arrived at in the face of
disadvantages which only our people
appreciate, it is not too much to assume
to say that should these strangers come
here during our pleasant spring weather.
say in 4 month or six weeks from now
they would then be perfectly enchanted
with the Capital City At that time our
foliage will be bursting forth, the soft
breath of the coming summer will modify
the chill of the atmosphere, our spring
cleaning will have been done, and the
accumulated debris of winter and bright
ened the buildings and outdoor orna-
ments. Our streets, river, parks, public
drivers and prOmenades, and our beaui-
full public buildings and resorts will then
be at their best. In word, take us at
Easter, for instance, and We will then
have on our new spring suit and our love
of 4 bonnet, aud We will be in the best
trim and humor to receive calls. And
another thing about it. As the Nation is
spelled with large n, so we of this city
spell Washington with big W.. We do
not call it our city alone, for it is the
country's beautiful Capital. We take pride
in it as our own home, and equally as the
Nations city-the eliminating point of its
law. society, art, history-the expression
of its best attainments. As such Washing
ton counts the whole people as its citizens.
They are welcome here. These are their
advantages to enjoy, these their beauties
to admire. these their representatives, in
whatever aspect they take shape, to claim
ownership in. But, Washington being
such a city, has demands in turn upon the
whole of its citizenship, which is the Ma
ton. 1t has right to expect that, being
chosen for this exceptional position, it
shall! have the protection, influence, and
support Of the whole people, through their
Representatives, in such measures as may
be necessary to sustain its high character
rs national city. 1t does not now re-
ceive such consideration, and we wish to
impress it as last thought upon our de-
parting guests that it is only through
their influence, kind words. and sense of
justice that we can hope to receive from
future Congress the relief from unhealthy
surroundings which is positively neces-
sary to the future growth and well-being
