means all Of white skins, for in Washing
ton the summer girl with her bewitching,
airy and immaculate gown, and the sum
mer young man in his white flannel or
duck suit are often Of the race of freed
men
AS we look and listen we hear the Narine
band from the midst OF these people Civ
ing one of its celebrated concerts, and the
people, white and black, seem very happy
and prosperous. Thus the thought comes
that from the south window we saw Long
bridge, with its memories of unreturning
travellers and the bloody hills OF Manassas;
from the west window Arlington and the
sacrifce-the sacrifice of the Lee home
stead, typifying the loss of the south, so
nobly borne, and the white dots on the
landscape, speaking with myriad tongues
Of the offerings of flesh and bloel made by
the north; and now from the north win
dow the results-a reunited people, an up
lifting il not wholly uplifted race Of slaves.
In the background Of this last picture the
executive mansion, with its suggestive
ness of the heroes aud the rulers Of the
country, f1anked by the war, state ard
navy building on the one side, and the
vast, impressive treasury on the other.
Still farther to the north may be seen
the most beautiful part OF Washington,
the wide avenues and streets and luxurious
homes Of the aristocratlc northwestern
sectional section in which statues may be
seen in the parks and where the homes Of
great men and the legation homes of
score of foreign governments may be dis
tinguished. bringing this city of homes,
away to the north. are seen the wooded
heights of Mt. Pleasant, being swiftly COW
cred with institutions of learning and
the villas Of wealthy residents. At the left
lies the picturesque valley Of Rock creek.
its slopes, too, villa dotted. and within it
the sight of two lovely parks which the
government is creating at an expense
which ultimately will reach to millions.
Do you wonder that people who ascend
the monument to stay ten minutes usually
remain an hour or two and then go again
at the first opportunity,
Fort Worth gazette. [volume] (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1891-1898, 1891-08-31

But there is still another monument
vista. 1t is from the east window, and it
is a view than which no American should
ever be able to find anything finer. To the
left a continuation of the city, CROWN
redder as you leave the more modern
browrstone front region and enter the do
main of the older brick structures. Here
the conspicuous objects are the patent Of
fee, the postoftfce, the huge red pension
office-it is impossible in Washington to
get away from the memories of the great
war-and beyond the hills once covered
with forts, now occupied by the new Catho-
lie university and by pretty suburban vii
lagos. To the right the Potomac once
more, the steamboat landing, the arsenal in
which Mrs. Surratt and the other supposed
accomplices of Booth were hanged, the navy
yard with its monster shiphouses and two
or three old monitors lying in the mud,
rotting and rusting away-the navy yard
which now IS not navy yard st all, but
gunshop for the navy-and melting away in
the distance the curvinS, pellucid line of the
river, ancient and grass grown Alexandria,
Forts Eoote ard Henry and immortal Mt.
Vernon. These last TO be seen only with
the help of a good glass.
But the center of this eastern picture is
the gem Of them all. Before you lies the
beautiful mall, a superb park more than a
mile long and half mile wide, bordered
on the left By noble Pennsylvania avenue,
and on the right by the buildings and gar
dens of the agricultural department, the
Smithsonian institution, the National mu-
scum and other public buildings, termi-
Mating in the botanical gardens, where
plays the Bartholdi fountain which at
tracted so much attention at the Philadel-
phia exposition. Beyond the park rises
Capitol hill, an eminence conspicuous in
itself, but which is thrice ennobled be-
cause upon it sits the most majestic build
ing in the world, the American Capitol.
The Capitol seen near by, from the ground,
is vast, impressive. Viewed from the top
of Washington monument it is more than
beautiful, more than majestic, more than
great-it is inspiring, possessing, entranc-
ing.
Here have l filed my space with talk OF
nothing but the vistas from the obelisk,
though there are hundreds more worth
seeing and telling of. You must take for
granted the charm of these others without
any attempt at description on my part
the glimpses from the dome Of the Capitol,
from the portico of the library where you

so conspicuously, does not appear to be
more than half mile away. 1t lacks but
q little of mile and half. The Washing
ton monument, which lifts its graceful
point so high in the heavens, appears to be
but stones throw from the steps of the
vast building in which Uncle Sam keeps
his much talked of, anKiously watched sur
Plus. Yet 1t is a good hall mile distant.
There are many other views of prominent
objects quite as deceptive as these. 1t is
not Of Washington as city OF magnificent
distances that / wish now to write, how
ever, but as city OF beautiful vistas.
Probably there is no other American city
which contains so many charming views,
fascinating glimpses OF scenery and build
ings from points of vantage-yistas from
between marble pillars, perspectiyes from
elevated windows, framed pictures with
dazzling fairgrounds and deep back
grounds
There are so many Of these pretty views
in Washington that l hardly know which
ones to tell you about first. But the most
popular vistas, and doubtless the most at
trsctive, are those to be seen from the
eight windows of the Washington monu-
ment. Go up to the top Of this huge shaft
with me and let US see what we shall see
We stand by granite bordered opening
or embrasure IN the thick walls-a win
dow perhaps four feet long by two feet
wide. As we first look OUT we inyolun-
tarily give little start, the eyes open
wider, the lips part in exclamation, the
lungs take deep inspiration of surprise.
II is, indeed, a wonderful picture that is
spread before US. Underneath is grassy
slope, cut here and there by what appear
TO be burrows Of dust, but which are In
reality wide carriage roads. The horses
and vehicles upon them look Ike the toy
horses and carriages which the children
play with at Christmas. A street car,
few hundred yards away, resembles con-
lection box with a candy mule or horse
hitched on before. A man walking, al
most perpeudicularly downward from
where we stand, IS SO insignificant, ap-
parently, and moves with such awkward
motions-a mere upright insect with a
long tentacle swinging out before and be-
hind-that we are moved to laughter.

look straight down Pennsylvania avenue,
the view OF the monument from a window
in the house wing, the picture framed be-
tween two of the pillars OF Arlington
house, and many others Of equal beauty.
In closing must tell you a little about
the most perfect vista, using the word
in its narrow sense, which we have in
Washington. In driving through the great
park attached to the Soldiers Home, by
the side OF a dense woods, your driver
halts suddenly and tells you TO look. You
perceive an opening in the forest, narrow,
shadowy. 1t is deep and long and but a
faint speck OF light appears at the other
end, half mile or moro away. 1t is moth
ing, you think, but road cut through the
woods, though not Travelled, and you are
about to turn away, when in that little
fake of light at the far end Of your leafy
telescope you perceive first dimly, and
then stronger and more perfectly, the
great white glistening dome of the Capt.
toll! ROBERT GRAVES.

At the edge OF the grassy slope what
now appears TO be small pile of red bricks,
but which, while on terra firma, we had
admired as the great building of the bureau
Of engraving and printing, is seen. Be-
You'd, astonishingly near. are the waters
of the Potomac. Seen from the ground
this noble stream had seemed Of immense
width, which it is, or fully half mile at
this point. Now the opposite hank is so
plainly seen that the channel appears al
most narrow enough to jump across. And
what is that long, gray line spanning the
stream, lt is famous old Long bridge,
the weatherbeaten structure which the
Union troops crossed by the hundreds OF
thousands during the war, many OF them
never to return. Now a railway train is
rolling over the bridge, like q long, thin
serpent with black, Tuning head trailing
its jointed body after it. Beyond the river
you see the hills of Virginia, haze covered,
blue, the heat dancing upon their crests.
Where the haze is, and where you can just
distinguish spire, lies the village of Fair
fax, and just beyond, Manassas or Bull
Run.
Now go to one OF the west windows
This view is, If possible, more charming
than the other. Here you have the broad
sweep of the Potomac as it curves and mar
rows past ancient Georgetown; the boat
houses and the regatta course. where as l
write innumerable racing and pleasure
boats are moving TO and fro; Analostan
island, green and low, now given wholly
DER to baseball and picnics, but once the
site OF proud lords seat; Georgetown
college, which not long since celebrated
the centennial of its birth; the Aqueduct
bridge and the rocky banks of the Potomac
beyond, leading by sinuous and charm
ing course to Glen Echo, the new Chautau-
qua. and to Cabin Johns bridge, until re-
Gently the greatest arch in the world. But
in all this west view that which longest
holds the eye and most stirs the imagination
is Arlington House, its Doric proportions
clearly outlined against bank Of green
and It's huge yellow columns standing out
conspicuous even among the trees. The
eye can see and from this point of view the
mind can comprehend the beauty and the
pathos Of the grassy slopes, white dotted,

The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1891-09-01
FOURTH edition


Thirteen members OF the Twelfth
Ward Colored Club met last night In
Congress Hall, No. 305 DUPONT street,
for the exchange OF opinions relative
to matters connected with the 1cOlpred
race. Thomas s. Anderson presided,
and Elijah Byrd acted as secretary.
Able addresses were made by NJ. j. An
derson, William III. Clayton, A. G. Ii.
Anderson, Stansbury Murray and s. s.
Lacey, the latter an orator from Phlla-
delphia. Amongst the resolutions Of
fered was one to endorse the Delaware
Twilight as the organ OF the colored
people, and to stand together for poll
tical, social and moral advancement OF
the race.
William H. Clayton spoke vigorously
In condemnation OF the local press In
general, none of which "whiten iourn-
ais could be depended upon to publish
their views correctly and held the race
up to rldicule. He urged the endorse
ment OF the Twilight and then their
views could be properly ventilated.
The remarks OF Mr.. Lacey, of Phlla-
delphia, were severe against Mayor
Wiley for not having appointed some
| colored patrollmen.
The resolution to adopt the Twilight
as the organ OF the race lead to long
discussion. Some wanted the endorse
ment to he general, some as q Twelfth
ward movement, but a compromise
was effected by which 1t was endorsed
as the action OF the meeting. The pro-
ceedings lasted three hours The meet
Ing adjourned to meet on Monday
evening, September IA.

The more is said about the move.
ment to carry through the long me-
elected object of erecting a monu-
ment in Wilmington to the memory of
the late lamented Ex-President Gar
Held, the more the people are falling
into the spirit of the movement. 1t
seems likely now that the agitation of
the question will result In meeting
being called for the purpose Of taking
definite and systematic action in the
matter.
Mayor Wiley strongly seconds the
movement to complete the monument
and favors the opening of the su bscrip-
ton lists, to which he would be glad
to contribute. Wilmington, he says,
needs monuments and has plenty OF
good sites for them.
William Nj. Candy, president of the
Board of Park Commissioners strongly
favors the movement. The park com
missioners had no money this year to
devote to that purpose but he thought
q good place for the monument would
be on the new park roadway through
the Brandywine park.
Nearly every business man In the
city spoken TO in reference to the sub
ject, favored the collection of more
money, and the completion of the
| monument.
Speaking Of monuments the old sol.
diers and sailors monument, at Della
ware avenue and Broome street, will
shortly be greatly improved in appear.
ance by some radical changes In the
grass plot on which 1t stands and the
addition OF new cut curb. The grad
ing will be done by the city and the
curb will be donated by William Du-
Pont. The curbing, 1t Is estimated,
will cost 1000.
