revolutionist of the orthodox type, he has

last, at the anniversary of the hanging ol the
Chicago Anarchists, by creating disturbance
IN the procession and then shooting him. lie

THE NATIONAL roo.

Under the above heading the New
York Tribune of Sunday has very
timely and sensible editorial on the es-
tablishment of a National geological
Garden along Rock Creek, a site which
the Tribune justly designates as the finest
presented by any capital in the world.
The Tribune urges upon Congress the
need of promptncss in making the proper
appropriation for the establishment of
this National Garden, inasmuch as every
year the native wild animals of the
United States are decreasing rapidly in
numbers, and specimens are more costly
and moIe difficult to secure as the time
is prolonged.
1t takes the matter entirely away from
politics and places it on the true grounds
of science, and appeals to the Rcpresen-
tatives in Congress to consider the matter
in its proper light.
The CRITIC has, in season and out of
season, by night and by day, been con
slant in its efforts to impress upon Con-
gress the great Importance of establish
ing in the beautiful and picturesque
Rock Creek Valley q national park,
which would include in its boundaries a
geological garden, as the Tribune advo-
Gates. and as is now combined in the
great parks of nearly every capital in
Europe.
There is no place better adapted for
such park as in the Rock Creek Valley.
Nature has made it everything.
There is hill and valley, cliff and crag,
streams Of living water, wild woods and
shadowy ravines, rocks and rills and a
forest stiffness within half hour of the
centre of the city as profound as may be
found in the Businesses of the Rockies.
The expense of improvement would
be comparatively small when nature has
left SO little for art to do. fsI
This is city of parks and squares, but
there is no great park where all the peo-
pie may congregate and find such amuse-
ment as in every other capital the Gov
ernment wisely provides for the people.
Congress should not delay longer.
There is no good reason to stand back,
The Senate made provisions for the
garden at the close of the last session,
but the House failed to respond and the
good done was rendered null and void.
There is no job or scheme in this move
ment.
1t is for the public good and Congress,
which is the creation of the public, should
be prompt in responding to the demands
of its creator.

1t will, perhaps, surprise the majority of

The Pnris ExhlhltInn

someryille p Tuck Of New York, the AS
sistant smmissouer-General Of the United
States to the Paris Exposition of 1889, has
made public the names of the firms who have
thus far applied for space for exhibiting their
arc from all parts Of the country and com
prise all industries, arts, etc. Nearly 750 APP
plications have been received and Il is be-
lieyed by the Commissioner that there will be
fully 100 exhibitors when the list is complete
The list OF exhibits for the art group is only
partly complete and all paintings must be
favorably passed upon by the art jury before
they are accepted Tor exhibition. The space
allotted has, in great measure, already been
distributed, aud much more space has been
applied for than could possibly be allotted to

The NatiOnal ZOo.

1t would be an excellent thing if the two
Houses of Congress could pass, even at this
short session when general legislation has so
little chance, the bill introduced by Mr. Brecll-
nrdge, establishing a National geological
Garden in Washington. IL the bill does not
pass now, there must be at least YEARS. delay
and probably more in getting the project I'M
der way; and every delay is u serious loss,
With every year the rate Of extinction of our
wild animals, which this garden is expected to
preserve, becomes more rapid, and 1t is also to
be considered that delay means the loss of
both instruction and pleasure TO great num-
Der of visitors to the Capital.
There can be no doubt that If Congress
should once authorize this institution it would
grow with surprising rapidty. Large numbers
OF offers have been received from various parts
Of the world, from consul and others, of ami
mails TO be placed in the garden, but these can
not be accepted until Congress makes some
provision for them. Tho nucleus OF such
collection already exists under the charge OF
the officers of the Smithsonian Institution
There is no politics in the scheme. 1t orig
mates with scientific men who see that unless
some steps are taken to preserve classes of an
imals that are fast disappearing before the adj
vance OF civilization, there will soon be Il most
