The Two Postal Stations.

The people Of Fulton expect that one Of
the sub-post-olIices. or postal stations.
which the Postmaster General has
promised Richmond, will be located in
their vicinity.
In beginning and persistently prescott
ing the agitation for Djchmonds rights
in this respect we had the needs OF Full
ton particularly in view. There are many
persons who have a good deal Of busi-
ness with the p0st-ofllce who live and
do business IN Fulton and vicinity. Our
West Enders. while quite as remote from
the city post-oliice as the Fulton people,
generally do business down town, and
hence have more occasion than Fulton
ians have to pass the rost-oiilce.
Each end Of the city should be accom-
modated az far as possible, but Fulton
has especially good claims in the matter.
However this is branch Of the ques-
ton that Postmaster Cullngworth will
have to decide; that Is to say, his views
are likely to have great weight with the
Post-Ofice Department 1t happens that
he Is very well acquainted indeed
with the needs OF the East End. and
we guess that he will either put one
station in Fulton or so near TO Fulton
that II will derive almost as many adj
vantagcs from 1t as If it were In Fulton.
The other station. we suppose. Will be
located on west Broad street. or else in
the nciehborhood Of Monroe Park.
Two stations are better than no sta
tions at all but two are not enough for
Richmond The ground cannot be well
covered with less than four. Two other
stations we may hope to have granted us
when our people realize how convenient
postal stations are. and when the Post
Office Department sees that they are
really needed here. We should think that
there would be no question as TO our get
ting four stations ultimately. since cities
no larger-indeed, some smaller-than
Richmond, have been given four
The Dispatch means to continue a work
for the four just as diligently as it worked
for the Two, and ii goes without saying

Children's Rights.

There Is a movement on foot in Balu-
more to. establish large playground
for boys in the northeastern section OF
the city.
we Ike the idea. The boy is with
us 70 say. but with the expansion Of
our great cities he is being curtailed Of
his natural r!ghts-his rights TO romp and
run ana shout. lie is growing up in con-
nucmcnt. not in the free air and unbridled
liberty which were his fathers and grand
fathers There is little happiness for him
in the streets. with the policeman's eyes
ever upon him. and the small license
allowed him in most public parks tanta-
lies rather than satisfies him.
We know OF but one great park in the
heart Of large city whore the boy is
accorded his rights. and that Is Boston
Common. But recently we saw in Rich
mond paper a statement that the
Common is not we'll kept The
fact is that that portion OF it
which Is known as the public
gardens Is beautifully kept" but that
part which Is really ''the Common Is
maintained as a playground. Here the
chiIdren's feet have dug up the walks
and the grass; here they have SCARED and
slashtd the surface OF the ground. but 1t
Is a place infinitely dearer TO rompins
youth than are the public gardens, with
their shapely fiower-bedS and great hot
house filed with rare plants.
The Bostonians seem 10 have been the
first to discover that II Is possible to use
public grounds for public purposes, and
other cities have followed their example
followed it 1T dignihed distance.
In certain parts OF Central Park. New
York, boys and girls are allowed to
play, but Central Park is not central
to the population Of children who would
enjoy the privilege most.
When our parks have been given over 10
children with ten times the freedom now
accorded them, the parks will have become
the useful things that they ought TO be.
Without a question the boys and girls
will tear up the ground as badly as a
herd OF buffalo would. but IL will do
gccd-do the children good. II 1t be
desired TO have some part Of a park set
apart as a show-place-a place safe from
the intrusion Of pranklsh youth. and
sacred to quiet. dignified people. well and
good-but We submit that no city can be
said to make the best possible use OF its
parks without giving the children a
great degree Of liberty thereon. Where
parks are not available in whole or In
part for Fairgrounds, large lots should
be purchased and set apart for this pur-
pose.

The larger cities Ct Continental Europe
are going through their annual scare In
anticipation OF May-Day. This anniver-
sary. which. as marking the opening Of
fruits and flowers, was formerly ceic-
bratcd with innocent festivities through
out Europe, especially by the rustic popu-
Iations. has Of late years become the &C.
casion for the demonstrations. more par
ticularly upon the Continent Of the So
cia!ists, the dissatisfied labor elemental,
and political agitators generally. As
consequence preparf ons against out
breaks are now making In nearly all OF
the European capitals and other cities OF
any considerable Size In Austria, In some
parts OF Germany. and In Rome May
Day parades and gatherings have been
prohibited and the Berlin authorities nave
taken extraordinary precautions to meet
any emergency that may arise. Troops
are in convenient call at all cities wnere
disturbances are feared.
Heretofore similar precautions have pre-
vented any very serious disturbances on
the anniversary. and in view OF the fact
that 1t IS generally the expected that does
not happen, the experience OF the coming
May-Day may prove no exception TO the
rule However. 1t must be admitted that
In Southern Europe-notably IN france
and Italy--the aspect Is more alarming
than for some years past. The SOCIALISTS
OF Rome and kindred elements have, II
IL said. determined TO indulge In a de-
monstration despite the prohibitory orders
OF the government. and the apprehension
excited by this spirit OF defiance Is In
tensined by the uncertainty that exists
az TO how far the Italian Socialist move
ment and fhe unrest OF the lower orders
are in sympathy with Anarchism. the
recent rioting in Sicily and at otner
points In the kingdom developed the fact
that Anarchist emissaries had been sedu-
lously and effectively at work among inc
Italian masses, and there seems no ques-
ton that Anarchist groups are scattered
all through the rest Of Southern Europe
1t must be recognized that serious
demonstration, in which Anarchism came
prominently TO the front, would not De
thing 10 be treated merely as a rot ana
dealt with by the police alone. The ltd-
Ian Government could not do less thah
employ the most summary measures 10
sunpress IT. Any weakness the govern
mcnt might display. or temporary sue
cess on the part OF the moD' would en-
courage the spread Of Anarchism and
resort TO It's devilish methods elsewhere
on the Continent. The rest OF Europe
will therefore await with deep interest
and anxiety what May-Day brings forth
In Rome.
Some apprehension IS also felt regard
ing the day in Berlin, as joint demons
stratlon Of the Socialists and striking
workingmen is looked for. But the dis
satisfied classes Of Germany are in no
wise in touch with Anarchism. and no.
thing more serious seems really TO threat
en- than such riots as occurred some two
or three years ago. and which were con-
troIled without recourse 70 very harsh
steps.

The Park Travel.

The park travel" IA opening up on
our street-car company. and we wish
that we were authorized TO say that they
would make arrangements 20 accommo-
date all OF the people who wish TO
patrOnizc their cars. especially on Sun
days.
Large as the park travel Is. 1t Ia not
much more than onc-half OF what II
would be 81 cars were plentifully pro-
.yided for the hours when they are most
needed.
The severest strain upon the Rich
mond Railway Company is In the New
Reservoir travel. and we have long
thought that n simple way OF lettering
present facilities would be to put on a
number Of extra cars 10 run from Ninth
ana Main streets 20 the park Having
only half the distance TO cover that the
regular cars have. these extras could
take up and deliver thousands Of people
during an afternoon. All the cars now
regularly in use should be retained, and
these extra ones put on TO take up travel
at that point whore all west-bound cars
first begin to be crowded.
Really IL would seem that this plan
is worth trying. The public, we feel
sure. would be pleased 70 see the e1-
pertinent tried. and It would be received
az proof OF the purpose OF the company
TO enlarge their present carrying facili-
ties
We believe that these extra cars "ouln
nay every day in the week during inc
summer especially during the early sum
mer-but they would be particularly
handy on hot Sunday afternoons.

scheme than this maturcd TO accomplish
the same object, we should Ike to see

their summer excursions TO mountain
