Just now the Navy Department is very much
interested in the big cruiser Columbia" the
warship which was named in honor Of the Dis
triet Of Columbia. She-for that seems to be
the gender Of all vessels, no matter what their
names may be-is to undergo her sea trial
within few weeks. Much is expected Of her.

Yesterday was the first anniversary Of the
battle Of Homestead. and in the little town
where strife and lawlessness were once 30 con-
spicuously rampant men, women and children
toiled up the miles Of steep hillside to srrew
flowers on the graves of those whose lives were
so foohshly sacrificed year ago. Looking
back at the occurrences that made July 6. 1892,
30 horribly historical the unprecedented OBJ
server must wonder at the infamed mentality
which could result IN the crimes that shocked
the entire country. But the wrong-doing Of
the by-gone year should and naturally would
soon be forgotten That it will be il not likely.

over the remains Of their beloved dead there is

The announcement Of intent to erect . monu-

turbulence and inexeusabls and improbable
bloodshed indicates q lamentable failure on the
part Of the promoters TO appreciate the lesson
that so many people hoped had been taught
The great steel mills, so frequently AMI 80 fouly
threatered, are being operated by a combined
force Of new and old men, many Of the
latter having frequently and violently de-
clared their antagouism to the employers
for whom they now 50 willingly labor. In the
struggle Of last summer millions Of dollars were
lost by both sides to the controversy and vast
sums we're expended that the peace, which was
established by armed force, might be pre-
served. A long period Of idleaess followed the
disturbances and this meant great suffering for
q large number Of people who had prior to
July been more comfortable than most working
folkA The result, summed up. is condition
somewhat less favorable to the employee than
that which existed before the Carnegie Com
psny and the Amalsamated Association of Iron
and Steal Workers fell out. The sacrifices were
in vain and the Law il supreme.

TIE SrAH's proposition to have the Fourth
Of July suitably celebrated in this city SO that
the whole country might see at its capital an
example which could not work otherwise than
benehcially seems to have struck root imme-
diately, for it has already been commented
upon most favorably by q number Of those
whose energies can be enlisted in the cause.
1t is early yet to sketch a program, but that
need not stop the flow Of suggestion; it can be
stored until the time comes when it may be
used to advantage. That the national
birthday has been degenerating steadily
for many years 10 fact Of the
most evident description, and that it ought to be
revived and glorified and covered all over with
stars and stripes and solid patriotism is a con-
clusion over which argument is as impossible
as it Is unnecessary. Extended discussion as to
details would be out Of place just now, but in
due season The STAR will elaborate its idea
and endeavor to interest the thousands who
should need no urging to assist in dignifying
the greatest day in the American calendar.

To Anarchy.
From the New York Sun
&c, fling the dark and bloody flag
OF anarchy on high,
Go wave it over land and sea
And with it sweep the sky.
Stand up in line Of proud array
The red caps everywhere.
And shout the praises far and near
OF those who do not care.
The governor Of Illinois
Has set the dreadful pace,
And fleet must be the CORY foot
That beats him in the race
He overturns the courts Decree
He puts the laws to shame,
He laughs to scorn the public good,
He sings the anarchs fame.
He cares not'for the peoples veal,
He panders to the foes
OF public safety, and by this
He pays the debt he owes
To anarchists who held the power
To make him or to break;
And as they made him, SO he grants
These psrdons for their sake.
o, wild Chicago. when the time
Is ripe for ruins deeds,
When constitutions. courts.and laws
Go down midst crashing creeds,

From out the wreck of states,
And as the crumbhng towers fall down

A Great Convenience.

Worlds Fair visitors travelling via the
Northern Pacific Railroad and Wiscon-
sin Central line are landed at the Grand
Central station in Chicago.
This magnificent fire-proof building,
located in the heart of the city, has been
fitted up as hotel, run on the European
plan, with about 200 rooms handsomely
furnished and each room is supplied
with hot and cold water, electric lights,
etc.
The charge for accommodations are
reasonable, and parties can secure rooms
in advance by calling upon agents of the
Northern Pacific X. r.
By taking the Northern Pacific
through car line to Chicago, visitors will
avoid the discomfort of all transfer in
that city, and can also travel between
the Grand Central station and World s
Fair Grounds by trains which run direct
between the two points.

THERE are none who will suggest that any
impure motive prompted the asking of the ap-
pointment OF Mrs. Smart to the position Of As
sistant Librarian, excepting those who have
personal malice Or political ill-will. Olympias.
There are those, however, who hold
to the old-fashioned doctrine that the
Governor, who is specially sworn to
see the laws are fairly and impair.
tally executed. should be the last per.
son to plan or sanction their deliberate
violation. The constitutional provi-
sion which prohibits women from
holding office is recognized by the ex.
ecutive, but he provides a method OF
evasion, beating of the devil round
the stump, as it were, which does not
comport with the dignity OF his Office
nor find any justification under the
recognized code OF morals.

LABOR Riots ExPEcTED.-An indi.
cation of utter want OF confidence in
the future is observed in the action of
the State Adjutant General of Califor.
mia, who has given orders to sire CITIZEN
the National Guard, in anticipation OF
riots during the coming winter months.
He says that numbers of unemployed
men will then flock to the larger
cities, especially San Francisco. from
the country districts, in search of
work, and will be disappointed, and
hence trouble will follow. 1t is indeed
sad omen when circumstances de-
mand such an avowal as this, and the
aid OF the militia seems evident to
keep the laboring man from demand
ing the mere means of existence.

EMERGENCY APPROPRIATIONS It
seems that the Emergency Board took
a proper view of the situation, and de-
clined to sanction many OF the appro-
priations asked for various public SER
vices. The sum OF $170.35 was made
for costs in land contests, $1,000 for
fees in costs in the cigarette cases,
$500 for expenses of assistant counsel
to the Attorney General in case of
State vs. Mcbride, 81 ,4G5.15 for furni-
ture and incidental expenses of the
Land Commission, and $500 for ex.
penses of Geo. w. Driver, as special
agent to examine certain lands 10 be
selected by the State. The Cheney
request for an appropriation for the
Normal School was rejected, and it is
said that the requests for an appropria-
ton for the Worlds Fair Commission
and for extra clerk hire were not
taken up.
