COluM BUS D Y.
A Day of Patriotism for the Children of Our
Schools, and for All Others.

Day of Pa triotism for the Children of Our
Schools, and for All Others.
Through the efforts of Principal Wright of
our High school, a program has been ar
ranged for Columbus Day which promises to
exceed in interest anything which wllin our

following: Exercises begin at 8 O'Clock in
the morning, probably at the Opera House,
and the national official program will be car
ried out in full as published in THE TIMES

chorus numbers by nearly 700 pupils of Rock
ingham schools, addresses by citizens, decla-
nations by pupils, and music by the band

DR.. George G. Lorimer of national reputation
in the realm of letters, will give a lecture on
"Columbus; or Liberty in America" DR..
Lorimer is Il star of brilliant lustre, and the

thought He is secured unexpectedly and at
no small expense, and it is hoped that the
Opera House may be filled as it has not been
filled before. To all the days exercises the
children Of our own town schools are to be
admitted free of charge; it is their day. All
others will be asked a nominal admission fee
in the evening to defray the days expenses.

FAVORITES Of FAME.

M. DE FREYCINET has been elected to
the French Academy in place of the late
Emile Augier.
T. HoPKINsoN SMITH, the artist, author
and engineer, is a man o; SO years. somewhat
above the ordinary height, with iron-gray
hair and the mustache of a military man.
BISHOP BROOKS, of Massachusetts, has
thrown himself into his duties with such
earnestness for the past few weeks that his
health is beginning to suffer in consequence
JERRY SIMPSON and Senator PETER both
wear gold spectacles and have a fondness
for "store" clothes. MIR. PETER affects q
shiny black coat of rather antique pattern.
SECRETARY FOSTER continues to i'm
prove slowly, but the prevailing stormy
weather will detain him at Fortress Monroe
much longer than was originally contem..
plated.
THE late Randolph Rogers, the cele-
brated American sculptor, was one of the
sleek and portly men that Caesar liked to
have about him. His shoulders were broad
and his chest immense.
THE most rustic in appearance of all the
Alliance Congressman is Clover, of Kansas,
who looks and dresses like a farmer and
talks as if he were engaged in controversy
with a moving machine.
ONE of the most distinguished men in
point of looks in the United States Army is
Major and Inspector General Peter D.
vroom. He is feet inches in height and
built on generous proportions.
ONE of BIsmarck's amusements is pistol
practice, at which, in his youth, he was an
expert. The range at Friedrichsruhe is
across small lake, 100 yards in diameter,
and the Iron Chancellor's hand is still
steady enough for him to bark squirrel oc-
casionally.

THE NEWEST REFoRaER.

The latest deliverance from Senator
Quay is to the effect that he. is not quite
ready to press his resolution looking to
hauling the administration over the Goals
for its violation of civil service reform
principles at Philadelphia. We presume
the Senator is outstanding his ammunition
for an impressive attack in the character
of civil service reformer.
We have had occasion lately to welcome
Senator Chandler to the reform ranks and
we would not be guilty of the unjust dis
elimination of failing to commend Senator
Quay's novel assumption of that role.
Heretofore, as The DISPATCH pointed
out the other day, our Senator has not
been known as supporter of civil service
reform, but the difference whose OK is
gored sometimes works wonderful changes
of heart. The discovery how it feels to
have ones next friends kicked out of
Office for the purpose of setting up a rival
political machine is enough to open Sen
ator Quay's eyes to the injustice of the
spoils system as viewed from the outside.
1t is natural and commendable for Senator
Quay to conclude that it is his part to un-
dertake the vindication of long suffering
principle.
We hope Senator Quay will not wait too
long before taking up the cudgels for the
maintenance of the civil service reform,
and that when he does undertake the task
he will press the conflict to victory With
Quay leading the reform fight it is bound
to win, if the Senator has to organize
new machine to carry it through.

A CHANGE TO SHOW OURSELVES.

Mayor Gourley's suggestion that steps
should be taken at once to secure an ade-
quate representation of Pittsburg's indus
tries at the Worlds Fair, should bear fruit
The Fair will offer an opportunity of at
tracing the attention, not only of the en-
tire country, but of the whole world, to the
industries and industrial possibilities of
this city and its section. When remote
nations from South America and Asia are
preparing to utilize that occasion it would
be objectionable slothfulness for Pittsburg
to ignore it.
Yet one of the great errors of this COM
munity in the past has been the neglect of
just such opportunities. Pittsburg enter
prise has as rule been too well content
to have business seek it instead of taking
the means to spread the knowledge of its
products and capabilities to all parts of
the worid. The time is coming when this
city will have to reach out after traffic;
and one Of the surest ways of making that
effort successful is to provide for an ex-
hi5it at Chicago that will attract and inter-
est all observers.
1t is to be hoped that Mayor Gourley's
effort will result in an organized move
ment to make an exhibit at Chicago that
will put our Industries and capabilities be-
fore the world in striking and attractive
light.

ers," and that the people Of the United

ers," and that the people of the United
States got no benefit of ii. But when 1t
approves of making the admission OF all
the products of other American nations
dependent on their admission of our pro-
ducts it practically confesses the empu-
ness of that argument and endorses the
principle of reciprocity as far as 1t goes.
AS for Breckenridge's proposition, the
main objection to it besides the one-sided-
ness we have pointed out is that it would
not produce as much actual reciprocity as
the present arrangements. Besides the
possible item of South American wool, 1t
would add little of importance to the free
list on either side. But it would make it
impossible for many South American
nations to accept the proposition, simply
because they are dependent on tariff du-
ties for their revenue. Toaccept revenue
tariff, as has been done in many cases, as
reciprocity, is recognizing the necessities
of our neighbors and establishing recipro-
cal trade on basis practicable for both
Sides
1t follows, therefore, that the present
provision is real reciprocity, while the sub
stitute offered would turn out to be pre-
tense of reciprocity one-sided in its pro-
visions and on such terms as to make act
ual reciprocity impracticable.

NULDOON. AS A STATESMAN.
He Has Framed a Bill to Establish Ma
tional Schoo! of Athletics.

WASHINGTON. Jan. B.-(SpecidL ]-Willlam
Muldoon, the athlete, has a bill, which will
probably be introduced in Congress by
member of the New York delegation, for the
establishment of national school OF
athletics. Mr.. Muldoon has given the sub
ject much attention and feels confident that
his plan is perfectly practical, and that it
will meet with favorable consideration. His
views on athletic education are too well
known to be repeated here. His plan is to
establish free school of athletics under the
supervision of the general Government,with
Headquarters at Washington and branch
schools in all the large cities. MI Mu!doon
believes that athletic education should be
compulsory, but as this is not III ACCORDANCE
with our free Institutions he has made pro-
vision in his bill for encouraging n love for
athletics, providing for annual prizes to be
awarded TO the best athletes In a Sr1es OF
contests thas will be in nature OF revival
of the Olympic games.
The bill provides for the appointment by
the President OF an instructor general
who shall ha power to appoint three as
ststants ID be stationed at Washington. 1t
also proyides for the erection of school to
cost $500 COO and TO be complete in every de-
rail. incIuding O model gymnasium and a
grand public natator1uln. The instructor
in other cities and to make ARRANGEMENTS
for the branch schools, which are to be pat
termed after the school AZ the national
canital 1t is estimated that an annual ap-
nronria tion OF not less than SIPS, 900 will be
reouired for the maintenance o. the schools.
The instructor general is to receive So 900
and his assistants $500 per year.
