joyed newspaper assaults because they
felt. as DR.. Parkhurst uncharitably init
mates, that the press's motives were
selfish, did not so into spasms Of terror at
ecclesiastical censure, but imputed to their
critics in the clergy the same bad and
selfish motives of sensational self-exalta-
ton and personal money-making that DR..
Parkhurst now aScrfbeS to the press. The
effective work done so far in the struggle
has not been in the direction Of reforming
the wicked by knotting stringy consciences
into contortionS of terror, but in the dlrec-
ton of arousing the honest to combine and
overcome the dishonest. 1t is unjust and
impolitic for any reformer to sheer at the
part played by the press in this work. NO
one who sympathizes sincerely with DR..
Parkhurst's reformatory endeavors desires
to take from him an iota of the credit to
which he is entitled, but when he practi-
cally omits from his calculations the force
that day after day pursued the enemies
of good government he not only does in
Justice to the better class of newspapers,
but he is, at the same time. discouraging
those whom he may in the near future

1t is not at all likely that DR.. Parkhurst
intended to be unfair to those who were
his comrades in his fight for better condi-
lions in New York city. but in his recently
published history of the famous contest
with Tammany he seems inclined to min
imize the assistance rendered him by the
many clean, fair-fighting newspapers,
whose editors rendered the New York
reformer all the aid in their power,
and who undoubtedly did the greater pro-
portion of the work. While the campaign
was hottest that seemed to be DR.. Park
hurst's opinion. but now that the battle
Is over. he comes out with a statement
Which while true to some extent, will
strike most people as an exaggeration.
Says he:
'It was the pulpit that did the work.
Journalistic roasting these vagabonds will
enjoy and grow cool over. But when it is
clear that the man who speaks it is speak
into his pocket or power into his party,
but is speaking it because 1t is true and
in speaking 1t appreciates his oracular
authority as one commissioned of God to
speak 1t. there is a suggestion Of the Judg-

OF the invisible God back of 1t, that knots
the stringy conscience of these fellows

When the Mckinley bill became a law
a great grow1 went up from some of the
European nations whose Industries were
threatened by that much-abused piece of
legislation. Now the Mckinley bill has
been supplanted by the Wilson-Gorman
bill and although the changes wrought by
the latter measure have been in the direc-
ton of general tariff reduction the dis
gruntled European powers growl as per-
sistently as ever. The latest to express
its disapprobation of our present tariff
policy is France, and it does so by forbid
ding the importation into France of all
cattle from the United States. The ex-
cuse publicly offered by the French Min
lister of Agriculture Is based upon an al
legation of the existence of Texas fever
and pleuro-pneumonia among cattle in
this country, but the very thin subter-
fuge does not deceive anybody. The
origin Of the anti-importation decree Is to
be found in our tariff rates on cheap for
eign wines and coupled with this cause is
the powerful and persistent agitation Of
French cattle-raisers who have been con-
verified to protective doctrines. The vast
number of Americans directly interested
in our cattle-raising industry will watch
with special interest the movement of the
administration in this matter.

One more Congress has almost passed
Into history. yet. despite many half-made.
promises and an occasional pledge that had
every appearance of sincerity, the District
of Columbia is still cursed with as many
grade crossings as it had in the days
when the steam railway companies were
bold in their declarations of ownership and
openly careless of human life and public
sentiment. Compelled to a Few minor re-
formatory measures the roads are perhaps
less dangerous but no less obstructive than
they were few years ago. but beyond
the building of fences that the authorities
insisted upon and the maintenance of crude
safeguards, that often fail, the compa MES
have utterly disregarded public rights with
impunity. At no time during the existence
of the Fifty-third Congress has there been
even a feeble congressional imitation of
an effort to have the companies do what
ought to have been done long ago; namely.
elevate or depress all of their tracks with
In the city limits. Such a requirement is
by no means unreasonable; 1T has been
made and has been acceded to in COM
munities of less importance than this. For
years The Star has been making plain the
cruelty and the financial loss consequent
upon the existence of grade-crossings in
the District Of Columbia, and has thus
framed all Indictment against which the
companies cannot make logical or humane
defense. but corporate influences have been
more potent in the national legislature
than any of the petitions presented by
lcng- suffering public. 1t may be that other
conditions will prevail IN the next Con-
gress: from which the people Of Washing
ton will insistently demand the fair treat
ment refused them by the companies and
by Congress.

jackson avenue home to see If he would

solved the problem. To be sure, the profess

A Bit of Romance.

A bright bit of sunshine on Valentines day
From the cloud-land above us was tossed;
The message Of tenderness sped on its way
To sedate Madame Earth, still in mourning,
they say,
For the much-esteemed Summer she'd lost.
And a smile has dispelled all the shadowy
gloom
That fell on her sensitive brow;
And 1t will not be long ere a garland of
bloom
VIII coquettishly nod where the mourning
had room,
For the Springtime is wooing her now.

legislative propositions which it thinks
should receive the sanction of the House

By the passage of the Senate bill grant
Ing permission to the American Surgical
Association and the Alumni Association of
the Jefferson Medical College to erect in
this city statue to the memory of DR..
tain that a fine specimen of the sculptor's
art will be added to the few fine and the
many mediocre examples We now have on
exhibition within the District of Columbia.
In one respect the statue will be novelty,
for while We have here many counterfeit
presentments in bronze and marble they
are generally those of men who achieved
eminence in either the military or the
naval service of the country. The eXcep-
tons are Joseph Henry, Chief Justice Mar
shall and Martin Luther. 1t is entirely
proper that such conspicuous benefactor
of the human race as was DR.. Gross should
have upreared in his honor at the National
Capital such a monument as the one which
will be consequent upon the legislation re-
ferred to. For centuries the popular ten
dency has been to glorify those whose
greatness was-no matter how righteous
the cause for which they strove-founded
upon appalling destruction Of human life
and property. 1t Is undoubtedly profitable
for a nation to remember its heroes-the
men who fought in behalf Of their coun-
try's life or glory-but the consideration
given those whose achievements have been
purely military should not be permitted to
overshadow the deeds of the eminently
self-sacrificial. such as Gross; whose life
was devoted to investigation that resulted
only in good for his fellow beings
