localities, and the proportion Of deaths
than in most other cities of the size Of
Washington.
The causes favorable to typhoid fever are
very nearly reduced to a minimum in Wash
ington. With constantly enlarging sewer,
systems, with clean streets, and, let us
hope, also clean alleys, with an ample
water supply, and in a generally salu-
brious climate, typhoid fever is not at all
likely TO become epidemic, and people
may as well quiet their nerves and make
their minds easy.

POTOMAC PARK.

There is nothing. of course, to prevent
the Potomac Flats claimants, so-called,
from carrying their case to the United
States Supreme Court, though it is hardly
probable that they will do So, as the decision
of the court in general term settles the
case most effectually for all practical pur-
poses While this decision has really been
looked upon as a foreign conclusion,
the people of the District nevertheless will
rejoice in the fact. because 1t removes the
obstacle in the way of giving Washington
its southern park, so long looked for aud
hoped for.
Now that the title to the Flats has been
made clear, as it were, and the Government
finds itself in fee simple possession of
the land, it may be hoped that Congress
will show its appreciation OF this owner
ship by making prompt and liberal pro-
vision for improving and beautifying them.
In time to come the Potomac Flats. stretch

century the Marine Band will be discoursing
sweet music there just as it does now at
the White House and the Capitol. Flowers
will blossom there and the landscape
gardeners skill will have transformed the
present wilderness of weeds and trees into
a picture of beauty.
For this future pleasure ground of the
people of the District Of Columbia The
Times proposes the name of Potomac Park.
II is euphonious and eminently appropriate,
because it has been reclaimed from the
very bed of old Potomac and lies sur
rounded by the river. No other name
would suit as well. By all means, let it be

NO NEED FOR UyEAsINEss.

A mild sort OF panic has prevailed in the
Ieare OF typhoid fever, and people who have
had a backache or a headache or, per
chance, little high temperature from
disordered stomach, have believed them
selves to be in danger of becoming vic
tins of the disease. To all such persons
DR. Woodward's assurances, as given in the
columns of The Times. must convey great
acal of comfort.
Tue fact is, as anyone might have ascer-
tanned who would have taken the trouble
TO do>so, that there has been no epidemic
Of typhoid at all. The disease has been
altogether endemic, and while there has

Our Veteran Heroes,

The Chicago Chronicle has a sensa
tional article on the pension question.
1t thinks a law should be enacted
whereby a young girl who wheedles a
weak-minded old soldier, just ready to
die, into marrying her, should not have
a pension when she becomes a widow.
This paper has advocated that idea for
several years. The idea of putting one
OF those ships on a par with the glori-
Gus woman who gave up her husband
and starved through four years of wal to
care for her brood of little ones is as
disgraceful as it is unjust. The good
women who married soldiers after the
war, and who have assisted in giving
the world other good men and women,
are entitled to pensions; but the female
walking delegates who hook on to poor
old ~broken-down fellows in their second
childhood, and marry them, ought not
to be Observation-Disclosures Telegram.

"Old Glory"

At Old Forge, New York, recently,
a flag-pole was raised. General Harri-
son, who was present, said: 81 am
glad to know that your patriotism has
triumphed; that your love for the flag
is not of the fair-weather kind. And,
after all, this beautiful emblem of lib
erty never shines so we'll as when its
background is dark. 1t has been loved
best when the clouds were low. 1t is
that for which it stands-a union of
states; a government of the people.
What can q man do against that flag?
Let him have mounted ever so high
upon the roll of honor, let him have
%intrenched himself ever so strongly in
the affections of the people,-if he lifts
his hand against that flag be falls at once.
We have in this at once the explana-
ton and guarantee of the permanence
of our civil institutions. Why is it that
the South Americans, tn 1t have imi-
tated u example and organized re-
publican governments, have been 80
racked and tortured with revolutionsp
1t is because they have not learned this
great lesson-to give their affections
and allegiance to Institutions, to a con-
stitution, and not TO a man." These
patriotic sentiments, should be held in
remembrance. 1t is our free institu-
tions, as represented by "Old Glory"
to which our allegiance is due, and not
to a man.-Exchange.

The South and the War.

The Charleston Ne,Ds and Courier is
rash enough to say that elf the Confed-
eracy had succeeded the condition of
the Southern States would have been
infinitely better and brighter during the
past thirty years, and now, in every re-
spect that makes for the welfare and
happiness of a people," This is not in
harmony with the device which the
Southerners who reared the monument
to the Confederate dead at Chicago
placed upon their invitation cards:
"We glory in the nation" 1t is not in
harmony with the deliberately and fire.

federates who are practical men, like

LincOln's Tomb.

The care of the Lincoln monument
and the tomb of the martyred president
has been transferred by the Lincoln
Monument Association to the state of
Illinois. This was done at a meeting
in Springfield on the 9th of August.
The new speaker of the house, W. G..
Cochran, presided, and on the platform
were Governor Altgeld, Ex-Governor
Oglesby, president of the association,
and State Treasurer Wulff and Hon. j.
A. Connolly. A large audience was
present. Ex-Governor Oglesby made
the presentation speech. His illusions
to Lincoln were touching, and he re-
peatedly carried the audience into
bursts of applause and enthusiasm.
Concluding, he handed a package con-
tanning the deeds and papers to Gov
ernor Altgeld. The latter, in response,
expressed his sense of the responsible
ity intrusted to him and other state
officers. Abiding to the uprightness
of Lincoln's life, his morality and
principles, he spoke of the selfshness of
men of wealth and business success,
and said they would leave no remem-
brance of themselves after death, while
Lincoln's glory would be undying.-
