With regard to prohibition in
Paraguay, the Westminster Ga
zette has the following:
Prohibition was among the prin-
ciples of the new republic, and any
member of the colony who was
seen TO take a glass of any alcoholic
liquor was subject to instant ex-
pulsion without the return of his
subscription to the colony's funds)
This is said by some to have been
the real cause of the secessions.
1t should be added, however,
that the remnant of the original
settlement has stood firmly by the
prohibitionist principle,
Indeed, a rule has recently been
passed almost unanimously making
total abstinence a permanent and
organic part of the constitution.

that il is not a gcod site for a manu-

known that The Times was right in
publishing that fact. For that reason the
failure OF the excursion is disappointing.
BY the way OF advice The Times suggests
that when the New Alexandra Improve

excursion that the words "Quinine whisky
sold at the bar" be added TO the red
colored announcement OF the "Best hotel
around Washington" 1t might cause peo-
pie TO venture into that region.

TIE NATIONS DEAD.

Conforming 10 a beautiful custom that
has obtained for a number of years, serv-
ICES relative to Memorial Day We're yesterday
held in many of the churches. At all OF
these the members OF the Grand Army of the
Republic were well represented. and the
ladies' auxiliaries Of the onder also lent
their presence. Sermon and prayer and
song were all attuned TO the spirit of the
occasion, and the touching aIlusions to the
heroism Of those who gave up their lives
for their country brought tears TO many
q bronzed cheek.
Americans are not infrequenty accused
by persons who have failed TO take deeper
insight into the national character, of
lacking sentiment. Never was accusation
more unjust True. the American, as a
rule, is not sentimental; be does not carry
his heart upon his sleeve, but there are
few nations more deeply impregnated with
the feeling of reverence for all that is great
aud noble and lofty in the life OF nation
orindividual. Abundred years have passed
aud Yet the mere mention Of the name OF
Washington will arouse the ardent enthu-
Elasm of any gathering OF American cit1-
zenS and reference TO the deeds and words
of any one OF our national giants is sure
TO strike a responsive chord in their breasts.
So il is with the observances OF Memorial
Day snd the antecedent religious services.
The national mind is pervaded with a deep
sense of the obligation it owes to the
heroes whose dust euriches the ground from
ocean TO ocean, and from Canada TO Mex
leo. The tribute that was paid TO their
memory in the churches yesterday, and
which viii be enlarged upon by the beau
tifuI exercises Of Memorial Day. was some
thing more than mere lip service. It
welled up from the hearts Of old comrades,
widows and children of the dead, and Of
posterity that loves TO do honor to them.
Enshrined in the nations love and ven
Grafton. their memory is a precious legacy
aud win be kept sacred by generations
vet unborn.

sENAroR sHERMAN,s LAWS.

Senator Sherman's speech at the zanes-
vile convention is expected TO define the
policy OF the Republican party in Ohio, es-
peciaIly as regards the financial question.
Like the majority of Republican leaders,
Senator Sherman is a bimetallist in pol
itics ana a gold bug" in practice 1t is
charged that Secretary Carlisle's Memphis
speech was a rehash OF Senator sherman's
financial utteTances, and that during the
next campaign he win set the pace for all
opponents Of free silver coinage.
According TO the verdict of the majority
Senator Sherman has not been a success as
a political financier. 1t is claimed that he
was responsible for the demonstration Of
silver in 1873, and that after a number OF
attempts TO remedy his mistake he finally
framed what is known as the Sherman Act,
which, in about four years, filled our treas
ury with bullion silver. In a speech be
fore the Senate during the last Congress
Senator Sherman practically acknowledged
this act to be another mistake, and in re
sponse TO a general demand the law was
repealed, with the help OF the Senator's
influence and vote.
Another peculiar act for which Senator
Sherman is responsible is known as the
antitrust law. Why it was enacted can
never be explained, except on the ground
that it enables the government to punish
the leaders OF organized labor when
formidable strike occurs. Perhaps the Sen
ator in his GAINESVILLE speech will tell why
the beef trust, the sugar trust, aud hun
dreds of other injurious combines are
allowed 10 thrive unprosecuted, while the
leading legal talent OF this administration
is endeavoring TO still farther punish poor
Debs and his confederates for completely
in the Chicago strike.
In any event Senator Sherman should ex-
plain why the antitrust law applies TO
organized labor and not to organized
capital.

HONOR THE WOMEN.
Rev. Charles l.. Pate Says IT Is Due
Them for Their Devotion.

Memorial services of George H. Thomas
Post No 10, c. A r., were held in the
North Capitol NJ. E. Church last night,
beginning at eight O'Clock. Rev. Charles
L. Pate, pastor of the church, delivered
the memorial address, and Miss Ella
Lowdermilk was the soloist. The organ
loft and pulpit were decorated with
American flags, and small flags were hung
around the walls of the church.
Mr.. Pate spoke of that critical hour
in the history of the nation, when Abraham
Lincoln, uucouth of figure, slow of speech,
hating in walk, but the man God had
chosen to be at the head of the nation in
that time of peril, called for troops, and
the answering cry that saved the country
went up from offices, from factories, from
shops and from farms, Were coming,
Father Abraham, three hundred thousand
strong'
Honor, he said is not alone due to those
who bTavely responded to the call, but to
those wives. mothers and sweethearts who
gave up hopes and homes when the war
broke out and their loved ones went to the
front Mr. Pate spoke of Grant as an
other man chosen by God, and said that
when the greatest soldiers of the day had
grappled with the problem and it had
mastered them and Lincolns head was
bowed, Grant sent little telegram to
the White House: II think Lee will sur
render if things are pushed" And Lin
coin responded, Let things be pushed"
'Au hail this grand old army" con-
cluded Mr.. Pate. ''alay its memories live
forever. and when the last tattoo shall
SorNE every one shall be given place in
t&aiHIeavenly army where they shall have
the best that God can give them"

Patriotic Sermon Delivered by Rev.
Drs. Mackay-Smtth and Howell.
The Rev. Alexander Mackay-smith on
behalf of the parish of st. Johns Church
issued invitations through Department
Commander Anderson for the members OF
the g A. R 10 attend memorial services
at that church last night.
Many OF them responded and the church
was packed to the doors. The whole interior
was tastefuIly decorated with potted palms,
flowers and the Stars ard Stripes.
In addition to the many members OF
the G. A. K. present, large delegation
from the Legion OF Loyal Women and other
kindred organizations visited the church.
Rev. DT. Mackay- y-Smith paid an eloquent
tribute TO the members OF those who died for
their country in the late war. He COM
menced by giving a brief sketch of the
troubles that led up to the unpleasantnesS
and then folio wed its path through the long
years OF suffering and disaster to the
day when peace once more reigned su-
preme.
He referred to the G. A. R and itsattend-
ant organizations as one of the buIwarks
of the nation. He then spoke feelingly OF
the thousands of little white stones that
mark the last resting place OF those who
fell fighting for the right.
DIR. Mackay-Smith was ably assisted by
the Rev. DIR. Howell, who also made a
short address eulogistic OF the vast army
OF unknown dead.

THE SCHOOL EDITION. "a

The newspaper that cannot keep step
with the growth of public sentiment does
not properly represent a progressive COM
munity. And the newspaper that fails
to encourage educational factors for the
Improvement of social and intellectual
conditions does not deserve public approval.
Every citizen is interested in cur District
school system The growth of sentiment
ia favor OF enlsrging its opportunities be-
comes more apparent each year. This was
made especially manifest at the last ses-
sion OF Congress, when an inadequate ap-
preparation was made for the proper ac-
conlmodation of our school children
To provide against repetition of this
neglect, and TO give the people of Wash
ington an illustration of progressive jour
nalism, The Times announces in another
column the publication of school edi-
ton that will furnish both to Congress
and the public a complete and comprehen-
sive calculation of the District schools,
their work, benefits. and requirements.
Such a history viii be of more than or
dinary interest, because it viii detail the
growth and embarrassments of the past,
the needs and conditions OF the present, as
wei as the prospects and necessities of
the future, all of which must be known to
thoroughly understand ard appreciate the
Iabors of those connected With our excel
lent school system. The Times also offers
some prizes to High School graduates
which should awaken earnest competi-
greater length TO these prizes during the
present week.

IN anticipation of the Decoration Day
exercises which viii be observed on next
Thursday throughout the country, Rev.

morning discourse yesterday The Liv
ing Death" His text was taken from the
fifteenth and sixteenth verses of the
twenty-third chapter of the second book of
Samuel: And three mighty men broke
through the host OF the Philistines and
drew water from the well OF Bethlehem
that was by the gate and took it and
brought it to David; nevertheless he would
not drink thereof, but poured it out unto
the Lord"
DR.. Todd said that some European ma

armies; and again others point with pride
TO their splendid palaces and their moss
covered ruins. There are peoples who
boast OF the splendor of their kings, the

RANKS ARE THINNING.
But Those That Are Gone, Says Bish,
Hurst, Are with God.


But Those That A re Gone, Says Bishop
Hurst, Are with God.
Bishop John F. Hurst preached TO the
veterans yesterday morning at IL O'Clock
at the Vermont Avenue Christian Church.
Among his auditors were representatives
of very many Of the G. A. R. posts of the
District.
The bishop announced as his text the
fifth verse of the first chapter OF John:
"And the light shineth In the darkness,
and the darkness apprehended it not"
Referring to the late war and the Union
heroes who had gone down in the great
struggle, as well as to tke survivors, he
said:
The efficiency OF the soldier can be
rehearsed; the story OF his deeds may be
told and retold, but it remains for the
present to eXemplify the work they per-
formed.
This country before the war was in
shameful condition. That it is nOwpurified,
and elevated above that condition OF
corruption, is due to the valor or the
Union soldiery. With the close OF the re-
bellion came the end OF those remains OF
barbarism.
who is to be thanked for the great re-
suits that followed? / answer, the Grand
Army of to-day and their comrades VINO
inhablt the city OF the dead.
LAS your lines become thinned by time,
we see fewer heroes, but we know and
feel that those who passed beyond are
martyrs in the eyes OF God and man"
Speaking OF the Grand Army as an order,
he quoted: lit is "a noble organization OF
true and tried men; their aim to aid with
charity the helpless soldier and the depend
ent families OF the fallen,' thy country pays
homage to thee
He concluded by saying: "a true soldier
for the right is also true soldier for God. "
Besides Past Commander BickfOrd, there
were present several department officers and
the commanders of the following posts:
Lafayette, Potomac, Kit Carson, o. P.
Morton, John A. RawIinS, John F. Rey-
noIds, James A. Garfield. Charles Sumner,
Charles P Stone and Henry Wilson.
The interior of the church was decorated
with the American coloTs in various forms,
a large flag being suspended above the
OuIDit.

ALEXANDRIA COUNTY LAwLESS-
NESS

Our usual Monday morning account of
scenes across the river shows no abatement
Of the IawIessDess, nor fear among the
denizens and freqUenters of the dens and
dives OF q speedy determination OF these
places. All Of them are running in viola
tion Of The law and every kind OF gambling
and immoral debaucheryis is offering tenpta-
tions TO the Washington public.
Yesterdays open and unresrained law
breaking in Alexandria County is
repetition of what takes place every
Sunday The authorities make no effort
to prosecute offenders, ner win they do
so until a change is made in the legal
machinery of the county.
The Board OF Trade committee may
succeed in arousing the attention Of
Gov oFerran to this eyil. but the chances
are that he is already Informed and simply
viii not exercise his influence to bring
about change. The greatest hope lies in
the defeat OF johnson. Should the contest
go against him Mr. Douglass would, from
natural inclination, as well as official i'm
pulse, start to clean out the gamblers, who
opposed his election, and to prosecute and
drive out of the county the gang of thieves
and thugs that now controls the situation.

The District marriage bureau records the
uniting in matrimony of 224 persons during
the past week. Had it not been for the
offer of The Times to furnish license and
minister for all couples who-were living to-
people would have been prosecuted and
sent TO jail. 1t is believed that alley i'm.
morality has been pretty thoroughly eradi-
Gated and that but few couples are now
living together in violation of the law; a
happy condition for which The Times must
be given credit.
