To-NIGHr,s ENTERTAINMENTS.

TODAY, with imposing and appropriate
ceremonies, the dedication of the Washing
ion National Monument was accomplished.
Military, civic and Masonic organizations
participated. The oratory of New England
mingled with the eloquence Of the South
The President, the Congress, the Cabinet,
the Army and Navy and the people mingled
in the demonstration and the representa-
tives Of every foreign land added by their
presence to the tribute to the memory of
the Father of His Country.
The severity of the weather was serious
drawback, but in spite of it the days OBJ.
servances were brilliantly successful. OF
the Monument itself, it seems almost im-
possible to say anything that has not al
ready often been said. The grand and inn
posing structure pointing heavenward COM
mands admiration and delies criticism.
Truly IL has been said that the structure
is in no respect American. While this
must be conceded, the claim that it is,
therefore, in no respect patriotic nor suit
able can scarcely be maintained. 1t Is
true that neither design nor material is
distinctly American. Granite would have
been far more significant as a great product
of American quarrles. The significance of
the Monument aud its appropriateness is
found, however, in the fact that from the
earliest ages and in many nations the
Obelisk has been the monument to greatness
and the memorial of grand achievement.
That America should erect a tribute to
her great hero on the same design and
far surprising in grandeur and proper
tions those memorials of many centuries
conveys sublime idea. Tho Washington
Monument conformes strictly to tho classic
proportions and chaste design of the
erandest obelisk of other lands, and towers
far above them all.
Like the character represented it stands
out distinct from and far above the great of
other natlons. Its pure, white color,
shared by no other obelisk, tells of the COM
Iarison between his life and motives and
theirs. In frmness and stability it stands
as he did, keeping vigil over the city and
the nation that he loved and cared for
Pointing heavenward the great shaft re.
wives memory of Washington's lofty
thought and Cody life. So in many ways
is the Washington Monument appropriate.
