There are but three classes of
men lnevery community, the ret
rograde' the stationary, and the
progressive. The first two have
iittlc or no regard for the ncw,pa-
per and its influence and read il
SIMPLY to see ''what is going on"
but who could fold their arms and
sec it die with the utmost comnl,
cency' leaving the progressive
class the real sufferers. The re-
tr'grade and stationary classes Of
every community are generally the
critics Of the newspapers, and, as
steele says "Of all mortal, y
critic Is the sillicst for b inur-
ing himself to examine every.
thlng' whether of consequence or
not he never looks upon anything

EpIToR LEApgR-
With Congress-, the Pan. ..Amcri
, can and the Maritime Confcrcnc,
f in session here, Washington ma,
, tie put down as lively place jus
I now While the matters men
toned are attractive and important
> there are many other things to cn-
: tighten and entertain one who has
spent life time upon the borle,
and the far West. and | have dc.
voted much time during my six
months residence to acquiring Il
knowledge of the various Govern
mental institutions, their objects,
and the good resulting from them.
Among those most noteworthy
is the Old Soldiers Home. Few
can realize it's magnitude, bcauti-
full surroundings, and the extent
of the benefit it bestows upon
those who have served the country
and are entitled to live there, and
it does not cost the Government u
penny.
The Corcoran Art Gallery is free
to those who can appreciate the
fine arts. Here one can view ut
leisure and without expense the
work of most famous artists, with
both chiscl and brush. The Peri.
IN white marble. stands in the cen
trc of small room surrounded by
many other and not less beautiful
specimens. The Greek Slave, in
most beautiful pure marble, occu-
pies a similar position in an ad-
joining room. ! felt sorry for the
slave and experienced an almost
irrisistable desire to place my over
coat over the poor thing. There
arc many paintings, and some are
very fine, the death Of Julius Cm-
sar, especially. Portraits of all
the Presidents and prominent
statesmen, and historical scenes Of
more or less importance adorn the
walls on every side.
The statutes one sees on every |
turn throughout the city are soul
inspiring to all-the soldier, sailor
and civilian. None can fail to OK
pericnce patriotic emotion rs he
looks upon these evidences of our
Nations appreciation Of the SER
vices of citizen.
II is astonishing how our public
men can attend to so much bust
ness--how they carry their vigor
and energy so far into old age. -~
Senator Plumb, especially, is
prompt and pleasant, readily an
swer- any proposition and moves
about as quick and nimble rs If he
were but 20. Senator Rcagad is
quite Compliant and is slow in his
movements, but his eye. if You
ran catch him awake, shows that
his mind is as clear and nctive as
Mt any time in life.
In nv visits to the various com
mittcc rooms | am amused ana
surprised at the presence of so ma
ny foreigners as clerks and private
secretaries, and it looks as though
.hcse British subjects came here
to hold down - soft
Iob.' arc there 10 Americans, or

THE MERCHANTS ASSOCIATION.

An Investigation Into Advertising Media
EARLY Closing Successful.
The Merchants Protective Association
held their regular quarterly meeting in
the Board of Trade rooms last evening.
1t was reported that the recent joint eff
fort of the Merchants and the Clerks
Early Closing Association to ecu gen
eral observance of the established rule
was very successful and gratifying.
AS some nave neglected payment of the
small amount eXacted by the association,
the secretary was instructed to notify any
who owe for last years dues that unless
payment be made by October next they
will be expelled for non-payment of dues.
One matter of Importance to all mer-
chants was considered and referred to q
special committee, to be appointed by the
resident. 1t was the general opinion
that the merchants who advertise had
just cause for complaint, and the commit
tee are expected to compare rates for adj
vertising in city papers with papers of
similar merit in other cities and report to
the association. The question of rates,
circulation, LOCATION, changes, etc, will
have full consideration.
AS an evidence of the growing import
ance of the association it may be men,
toned that eleven new members were
elected last night. They were c.. G..
Rochat, G. Gullberg & Son, Oscar Fack-
ert, W.N. Baron, 2. F. Flynn, S. Buck
mann, G. Metzler, G. w. Storey & Co.,
Henry r. Ives, w. j. Seeley and Otto
Lawrence.
Payment was ordered for various print
ing bills in connection with early closing,
and the meeting adjourned until Octo-
Der %.
