THE CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION.

The celebration of Washington's inaugu-
ration aud the first century of Government
under the United States Constitution, occu-
pied the public attention yesterday, to q
more universal extent than any commemo-
Eation siRoe tha 6eRteRERii&ell ERii&ell Of ct the Declara-

imagt other cities, marked tbs DAY with
parades, musical exercises, and addresses;
but the concentration of all these acts of
celebration was in New York, where the
nation united its military organizations, its
sightseers and its eminent men, to properly
signalize the celebration.
In an intellectual point of view the char
acteristie features of the celebration at
New York were Bishop Potter's address in
St. Paul's Church, and Mr.. Depew's at the
ub-Treasury. Bishop Potter's speech dealt
with the subjects that were touched upon in
these columns yesterday, namely, the de-
parture from the standards of personal and
national conduct which governed the foun-
dation of the Constitution. Mr.. Depew
could hardly be expected to bring an
indictment of the class of which he is

address was fine summary of the historical
influences and events which gave form to
the Constitution and tribute to the mag
nifcent character of the leader under whom
independence was won, and whose inaugura-
tion as the first official head of the United
States was celebrated.
The military parade, with sixty thousand
exclusively citizen soldiers, was also an ap-
proprlate exhibition of the results of Gen.
tury of government won by the services of
citizens against professional soldiers, and
founded upon popular ideas. The lesser
parades all over this country, like satellites
of the central display, exhibited the same
characteristic to degree which could prob
ably be equaled by no other nation in the
world
Thus the first century of the Government
of this country under its Constitution was
cOmmsnorated 1t is now the business of
nation to see if it can do as well in its
seeond century as in its first.

SENATOR STEWART, of Nevada, is of
opinion that the administration will be a
failure if it does not buy more silver. The
idea Of the Senator that the purpose of the
Governments to buy the product of hismines
and those of his constituents is simple, but
liable to produce difficulties in application.
IF it is to be commenced. however, we must
insist that it be started by the Government
purchasing $4,000, 900 ofiron every year.

THE White Cap craze seems to have met
with a decided check. The result of what
was called ''White Cap joke" in Norfolk,
Va, where one negro who was playing it
was shot and killed by the other negro
whose house he had invaded, is calculated
to discourage these efforts of humor. Let it
be understood that White caps make very
good targets in dim light and the nuisance
will soon be entirely extinguished.

nineteen trusts were formed in England, as
compared with fifteen in the whole of 1885,

"plastered all over with trusts" our British
cousins would have done their best to make
his prophecy good.

Special Telegram 20 The DISPATCH.
WASHINGTON, April SO.-The appointment
of Hon. Alonzo Hart. of Ohio, still hangs fire.
Mr.. Hart is in Washington, and has been for
several weeks daily expecting to receive no
tifcation that the Attorney General is ready
for him to be sworn in. One reason given for
the delay was that the present incumbent of
the Office of Solicitor of Internal Revenue had
not yet resigned, and they were waiting on him
to tender his resignation.
Solicitor Smith, when asked to-day If he had
resigned, said that he had not. All the intima-
ton he had received that there was any desire
to make change In his Office was what he had
seen in the papers. No one in official position
hadintimated to him that his place was wanted,
He has not resigned. nor does he intend to un-
til requested by the Attorney General.

A CENTENNIAL INVOCATION.


Backward, turn backward,
Oh, volume Of yearsl
Thy leaves bright with glory,
Or blotted with tears.
Pause at one hundred,
And fold down the page;
Rehearse there the drama,
And paint US its stage.
Can spirit familiar
Call up the wild scene?
Evolve the rude grandeur
OF forest and stream?
Till the rustic of leaves
In wilderness dim
Comes freighted with notes
Of the bobolink's hymn9
Till the shade of the red man
And football is clear,
As be bounds through the copse
In the wake Of the deer?
Like shadow and sun
On the tall, waving grass
VIII the vision cor1e leetly,
As fleetly they pass?
Oh, artist or wizard,
Whatever thou art,
Rend but one fold
OF times curtain apart
TIL we see by the light
Ofa lost April day
Far down through the trend
Ofa century's way.
TIL we catch the sweet tones
or BELLS distant chime,
That rang out our first
Proud Inaugural time;
Proclaiming these tidings
OF Joy on that ,aorn:
To the sire of his country
A nation is bornl
Alas! we but gaze
On, the chair where he Sate-
The peerless in Office,
The honored In state.
We handle the book
That the des lips have pressed;
When rosy in life
They Its wisdom confessed.
And the vesture was wont
His dear form to unfold,
All, years upon years,
That has mingled with mold
And the lips tfst dropped wisdom
Forever are cold.

TIE ridiculous practice which the New York
weekly papers and monthly magazines have of
antedating their publications is constantly pro-
ductive of absurd results. For instance, Puck,
Judge, Life, Hdyper's Weekly and similar peri
odicals published their centennial nu1lber the
first of last week, and this week when the Gen.
tennial is really here these weekly wonders
have nothing about the patriotic proceedings
in progress.
But it does not matter so much as it might,
for the extraordinary issues of these papers
are, as rule, only extraordinary in the num-
Der of advertising pages they contain.
