When Mr. CHILDs finished his country
house at Bryn Mawr 1t was suggested to him
that he should call the estate Obituaria.
Characteristic modesty and natural disin-
clination to connect his business even thus
remotely with the scene OF his pleasures and
inequalities, led him to reject tho musical
and appropriate name. Many people persist
In speaking OF Mr.. CHILDs's country scat as
Obituaria; he calls it Wootton, and there has
been much speculation concerning the origin
Of this name. The explanation Is very
simple. Reference to the list printed above
will show that the Duke and Duchess OF
BUCKINGHAM are among the nearest and
dearest OF Mr. CHILDss personal friends In
tho aristOcracy. The Duke OF BUCKINGHAM's
estate at Aylesbury, In the county Of Bucks,
Is called Wootton. MIR. CHILDs has named
his own country seat after that OF his most
noble friend.
There can be no further doubt rs to tho
poets genuine affection for the aristocracy,
nor as to his personal intimacy with some OF
the most illustrious members OF the peerage.

The Proposed Star Route Investigation.

One serious question connected with the
Star route prosecution remains unanswered,
| though It has been asked several times. How
did 1t happen that all the great contractors,
who received the largest extra allowances
from BRADY, escaped indictment Why were
| Mr.. BLAINE's peculiar friends not prose-
cuted? Why. at the very door Of the Grand
| Jury room, were cases OF admitted extortion
and virtually OF fraud and corruption ro-
| ferred to arbitration
Justice makes no distinction OF persons
Those who act In its name and who are its
ministers are falthless to thoir trusts when
| they exhibit Partially OF any kind. All
| these contractors stood on tho same footing
| so far as Increased service and expedition
| were concerned. Some OF the favored ones
had temporary service OF half million or
more year, from which even DORSEY was
| excluded.
| This exceptional course toward certain
| contractors has invited suspicion of its mo-
tives, especially since it Is known that hun
drctls OF thousands of dollars are involved in
any compromise that may be made. Public
| opinion revolts at the name Of compromise,
after the close Of the OTTMAN case a few
| days ago, when the extraordinary spectacle
was presented Of the Government turning
| over TO him $40, 900 of tho money stolen from
the Treasury eight years ago, and which
OrTsIAN received directly as tho confederate
| OF tho thief who stole it, and deposited in a
bank in Alexandria to his own personal credit.
It will be the duty OF the House Of Repre-
sentatives to probe this business to the bot
tom, and to expose to public view tho rea-
| sons why these contractors were not in
| dicted as DORSEY and BRADY were.

Venezuela and Bolivar.

On the oath inst. Venezuela will celebrate
tho hundredth anniversary OF the birthday
OF SIMON BOLIVAR, often called the Liberia
tor In commemoration OF this event. an in
ternational industrial exposition will be
opened at Caracas, BoLIvAR's birthplace and
the capital OF the republic; operations will
be begun on the new railroad between that
city and La Guayra, its port; finally, mon
umental statue of WASHINGTON will be un-
yelled at Caracas. Tho last-named feature
of the celebration will of course have spe-
cial interest for Americans; and In view of
this graceful union Of the names and flames
OF WASHINGTON and BOLIVAR, 1t is well that
our country should pay Venezuela the
courtesy OF an official representation at the
ceremonies. Tho Tennessee, first-rate, OF
twenty-five guns, Capt. r. F. BRADFORD, Is
on her way to La Guayra in order that her
officers may participate In these centennial
observances. This naval delegation may
atone in measure for the probable scarcity
of other visitors from tho United States, mid
summer being an unfavorabe season for q
journey so far southwark.
BOLIVAR has been called the WASHINGTON
OF South America, but the epithet, as is usual
In such historical comparisons, must be
taken with many qualifications. Educated
In Europe, he returned to his native country
as al officer In the Spanish army In 1909, at
the moment when all the Spanish colonies in
both Americas were on the point OF throw
ing of tho transatlantic yoke Tho year
1873 found him In command OF the army
which liberated the greater part OF Vene-
zuela. Driven from the country soon
after, he pursued his project while
In exile, and, after some discomhtures, at
length landed from San Domingo In 1917, and
successfully renewed the war for indcpen-
dence. In 1891. Venezuela and New Grenada,
freed from Spanish domination, formed the
republic OF Colombia, with BOLIVAR as Pres
ident. His sword was next at the service Of
Peru. which madc him It's dictator in the fol-
lowing year. This position he resigned In
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1883-07-15

1874, Peru's freedom having been completely
achieved; and when upper Peru formed
itself into q separate republic, II took the
name, In his honor, Of Bolivia. The South
American patriot had visions Of q union Of
all tho Spanish American provinces Of that
region In a confcderated republic but he
was fated to sec wrangling and dlscord
rather than harmony and union among the
countries which would have been It's com
ponent members.
We may concede the parallel between Boil
VAR and WASHINGTON In the central feature Of
tho great Venezuelsn's success In freeing the
American colonies from foreign control. In
his courage, his constancy under adverse
fortunes, and his sincere devotion to re-
publican form Of government. he also rescm-
bios the first President Of tho United States.
1t may even 10 worth noting that venczuelas
struggle for acknowledged independence
lasted, ut least nOminally, eight years, as our
own Revolution nominally continued from
l77b to 1888. BY the breadth and wisdom OF
his views as statesman, his recognition OF
tho needs Of popular education. and his OPP
position to slavery, which took tho practical
form Of the emancipation OF his own bonds
mon. BOLIVAR furnished additional claims
to the respect OF his countrymen.
But the points of contrast In the respective
characters and careers OF BOLIVAR and
WASHINGTON were quite as marked rs any
rcscmblanccs BOLIVAR was accused OF self
seeking, perfldy. and cruelty. and In resign
ing tho Presidency OF Colombia he bitterly
complained that he had been made the victim
OF Islander and ingrattudc. Between tho
later years Of this brokcn-hearted man. who
died in 1880 at the age Of ~, and the crown
ing years OF wAsHrNGToNs career the con-
trast ie enormous. But while BOLIVAR may
not havo possessed all tho shining virtues Of
WASHINGTON. yet even those who concode
his faults and shortcomings will not deny
that the great services he rendered to the
South American republics amply justify tho
centennial commemoration which Venezuela
has arranged In his honor.

rejected the doctrine Of Its inspiration. II tho
Bible Is COPS revealed Word. 1t is true
whether It appeals to our conscience and ex-
perience or not; 1t is impiety to oriticise 1t.
Mr.. PARKs views, therefore, removed the
last prop from orthodoxy, from all Christian
theology. There is no divine standard OF

only what seems reasonable to him. There

With especial satisfaction We call attention
to the article on the Mistake OF the Founders
OF the Republic. printed In another column Of
THE Sun this morning. In the initials attached
to this remarkable contribution everybody
will recognize tho signature Of an individual
once widely known and generally doplored as
the wickedest OF all wicked partners. Mr.. s.
ROMEO REED sends us the article. and we receive
1t as evidence OF the radical reformation that
his character has recently undergone. There
could be no better evidence. Tho subdued yet
cheerful earnestness. the chaste. pure style. the
elevated sentiment. the touches here and there
and We say 1t advisedly-of true goodness
embryonic. perhaps. but true goodness nevor-
theless. all serve to strengthen our conviction
that Mr.. REED is on tho right road at last. Is
not this result worth tho labor OF years We
feel that 1t is indeed!

He Would BE an Editor.

We frequently receive letters from young
men who are anxious to become editors Of
newspapers. and who seek our advice az to
what they shall do to accomplish the desire
of their hearts The following is a fair ex-
ample OF such communications:
~ am young man, % years old II has long
been my desire to enter the newspaper profession be-
evng to DO better suited TO my taste than any other
occupation For time past other rursits have
gagged attention yet the desire for journalistic labor

is the only profession 70 which the full power and
energy OF my mind he directed would II not he wise
for me to enter upon At once 10 collegiate educa
ton an indispensable qualification for . new paper
editor, or are good common school training and an
acquaintance with genera, literature suficient'
The moro thorough the education OF a
man tho better Is he adapted for an editor,
provided he has the other requisites. We
observe, however. that men who exhibit
their deficiencies OF education In everything
they write, sometimes undertake to conduct
daily journals. Their work Is coarse, slip
shod, and worthless, for the most part, but
perhaps they do not know it; or perhaps
they think the public will not mind it. They
offer an example which young mon should
especially avoid
Al Ignorant cultOr, or one OF an uncultl.
waited mind, draws about him writer's Of the
same sort. A weak editor will not have
strong writers. An editor without convic-
tons aud without honesty will not bring to
his aid men who have serious and honest
convictions. Puerility in the editor insures
pucrility in the paper.
But the coarse and vulgar. the uneducated.
flippant pucrile, and silly editors will not sue
coed. The public cannot be put off with chaff.
We therefore advise our young friend to
extend the range Of his knowledge as far as
possible, and t.9a:sip -hls mind to sound
thinking, before he sets up as an editor.
