TRIBUTE TO DIR. LANE.

At the graduation exercises of the Wash
ington High School Thursday evening hun
drods Of students formally bade farewell "a
that institution, everyone bearing the
stamp Of the individuality of Dr. Frank
r. Lane, the principal. To many the
three or four years association with him
as their guide and instructor VIII have a
more valuable effect than so many years of
book study.
To young men, or rather 10 boys just
before the threshold of manhood, there
can be no more valuable gift than
period OF years in the presence of and in
intimate association with manly nen. Far
more valuable and far more essential to
a modern education is such an association
than any portion of a school curriculum.
In this regard the young men of Wash
ington have been particularly fortunate.
In DR.. Lane they have had always an
example Of straightforward, honest man.
illness, and in his presence the meanest
disposition must have felt a shaping in
fluence toward decent and honorable man
illness.
Washington High School among the edu-
cational institutions of this country is
due almost solely TO the influence exer-
cised by DR.. Lane. In the past six years
he has brought the High School to a state
OF comparative perfection as a modern
educational instrument, and has made it
model for similar schools in the United
States. In that time be has also exer-
cised an influence over the lives of thou
sands OF young men that has resulted in
giving to Washington and the far-distant
parts Of this country not only educated
men, but cleanlyspirited, upright Ameri
can citizens. at once a credit TO Washing
ton and 10 the institution and the man
responsible for the formation of their char
ecters.

MORE OR LESS PERSONAL.

The twenty-four page illustrated souvenir
edition of The Times, planned and executed
directly in the interests OF the public schools
OF the District of Columbia and generally
for the good name OF the National Capital
as a whole, was given to the public wednes-
day last
The Times said little about its enter
prise then. 1t preferred to- wait until suf-
ficient time had elapsed for It's readers TO
in some measure comprehend the magnitude
OF the enterprise, its thoroughness, un-
selfishness and dignity, its mine OF live
facts, its significant presentation OF the
free educational facilities and possibilities
of the District, and, as a corollary, the ad-
vantages of Washington as place of resi-
dence.
Four days have passed, and the tribates
of praise and appreciation that have come
TO The Times from educators, business
men, citizens generally, and the press of
the country are as plentiful and gratifying
as could be wished
This project was unseifish, because it
was not undertaken for profit, but in pur-
suance of the policy of The Times to serve
the best interests OF the city i'll which it
Is published
1t was diguificd because it did not cater
TO the tastes Of small politicians or scandal
mongers, but rather teuded TO elevate and
glorify a bUlwark of our Republican iusti-
tutions that has not received its proper
measure of treatment from the press in
general.
II was original because it was marked
as it viii be u memorable departure in
Journalism, to be copied, it is hoped, by
every great newspaper in the country.
1t demonstrated the claim of The Times
TO be one of the best equipped newspapers
ia the country; and, above all, it proved
beyond DOUBT the power for good of a great
Journal that without axes TO grind or selfish
and disreputable ends to attain, depends
for its prosperity solely on honesty of pIr-
pose, enterprise OF spirit, fearlessuess
Of action, aud a sincere regard for the
better life Of its constituents
Such a newspaper is The Times aud such
il will continue to be. Ii has proved its
right to the fullest confidence Of the peo-
pie of this District. That it has that con-
fidence its circulation books, open to all,
viii at once show
An honest newspaper for honest people
that is The Times.

THE BEGINNING OF THE END.

The call for labor organizations TO meet
and dcnouuce the Debs decision one week
from to-day VIII mark the beginning of
q new era of work in labor circles. The
demand that Congress shall define the
rights Of workingmcn is a step in the right
direction. and should be the beginning of
a series OF efforts TO unite wage-earners
il defense.
There have been too many dissensions
il labor ranks to obtain successful results;
too many divisions OF opinion TO arrive at
the desired ends: too much politics to reach
permanent good, and too many conflicting
interests TO work in harmony for general
workingmen's welfare. These detriments
could not well have been avoided. They are
the outgrowth Of conditions which govern
all organizations possessing The rapid
growth which has marked the progress OF
union labor, and they will be obviated " hen
wage-earners learn to look TO themselves
and not TO politics and demagogue leaders
for guidance and advice.
Politics is necessary to the welfare OF
wage-earucrs as well as 10 the general
public. II develops principles Of govern
ment and furnishes the issues that divide
opposing parties. But in this country an
scrupulous men have taken advantage OF
circunst ances to use politics as a Lait TO
catch w0rkingmen's votes to hoist them
selves into office, and it is this abuse
that should be stopped. As long as work
iugnlen neglect their own interests to place
politicians where they can reach the public
purse, they can never be Independent nor
advance the cause OF labor. In recent
years, since the struggle OF labor has been
SO intense. not one measure has been en-
acted to give wage-earners greater protec-
ti0n against encroaching influences, nor
has any such existing law been enforced.
Wage-earncrs when united are strong
and influential enough to carry the cleo
tions Of the country, but they must learn
to select their own candidates independent
OF partisan politics or the advice Of pro-
fessional politicians, and when this is
done we may look for the beginning of
the end OF our labor troubles.
The Washington times., 1895-06-23

relations and friends. Another view OF
them is that to a large portion of the com
munity they are 4 sort of free show TO be
other special reason.
Yet there is more serious significant at
taehed To theseeyents. They havea distinct
educational value, not for the participants
in them particularly, but forthe spectators.
They are object lessons of the work of the
schools. They present to the public in
concrete form some OF the results attained
by the combined efforts of teachers aud
pupils, and stimulateiuieresti in the achieve
ments of the future.
In connection with the mental training
Of the rising generation nothing is of more
vital alimpo1ance than TO enlist til e sympathy
and interest of the masses in the general
scheme and purpose of education. Not the
passive interest merely which listlessly
assents to the desira bility of acquiring
knowledge, but the active earnest concern
which appreciates the fact that every
properly educated child becomes a factor
in the adva zee of civilization. and that its
Influence in the community is for the good
There may be exceptions, but they only
serve to point the rule.
The closer the people come 10 the schools
the more they concern themselves about
the workings of these institutions, the more
viii they stimulate the efforts OF all
connected with them and aid in the at
tainmeut OF better work every year.

| The bicycling craze has taken strong
! hold on Washington society, and has eN-
! tended into the diplomatic corps.
The foreigners have become greatly in
| terested in the fad of the hour, and many
of them are already proficient riders or
the shining wheel.
The first to lead in this respect was
the Russian minister, Prince Cant acu-
zene, who no sooner was able to keep
his equilibrium upon the bike" than
he induced his daughter to become accom-
plishcd in the same manner.
| Every afternoon during last autumn,
and almost every late afternoon during
the winter, the Prince and Princess Canta-
cuzene might have been seen spinning over
the miles of smooth asphalt in the city on
their bicycles.
At first. of course, when the bicycles
were brought out and placed in front of
the legation they created no end of eX
citement in the neighberhood, and the
DIV Oilers along that particular square
made brave showing on the front porti-
cos and at the windows to watch the
mount and triumphal start.
Gradually, how ever, as the novelty wore
off, the prince and his young daughter,
who were debarred from taking any active
part in the seasons gayeties on account
of the fact that the Russian legation was
in mourning for the death of the Czar,
were allowed TO depart upon their after
noon bicycling trip without this attend
ant notoriety.
CHINESE ATTACHES ENJOY IT.
For some time there has been an idea
current that the Chinese minister had joined
the ranks of bicyclers and that, not con-
tent with his own achievements in this line,
he was going to have Madame Yang
taught to ride, so that his progressive ideas
in regard to her could be further carried
out and she could accompany him in his
stirring spins in and about Washington
This upon investigation appears not to
be the true state OF the case although it
is very easy TO see how the mistake has
arisen. NO
There are several of the members of,
the Chinese legation, four in fact, with
the addition OF fifth in the person of
the minister's little seven year old son
Siesyen, who are at present proficients
in riding the bicycle. The minister him.
self has not as YET been attacked by any
such fancy, but there is no knowing what
may develop in tifis respect before he
leaves washington The list OF impossi-
