FEASTs OF REASON.

II any substantial feeling OF bitterness
remained between citizens of the North and
South or between the veteran soldiers OF
the two sections, it ought to be finally and
forever obliterated by the association at
Louisville of the week now ended and by
the fraternal mingling of Northern and
Southern veterans at Chattanooga and the
meeting OF Sons of Veterans at Knoxville.
1t is quite probable that all these festal
occasions were in no way necessary to
complete the cementing process between
North and South. Sectional antagonismha
already come to be little more than a re-
membraDce, except among a certain few
who had no special reason for unfriendli-
ness, but who seem opposed to national
unity because they cannot bury past dif-
ferences.
These phenomenal invasions, which are
now in progress and which concentrated in
places so full of historical interest. must
have the effect toclose the lips of even these
few both North and South, whose excitabIe
temperaments have occasionally had the
better of their Judgment, and dhenceforth fire
eaters on either side will be looked upon
merely as freakish remnants of virtually
obsolete element.

PROFESSOR RILEY.

Universal regret will be felt in Wash
.ngton over the deplorable accident that
befeil Prof. Charles V. Riley, and it will
be shared by all people in this country
and Europe who have known this gen
tleman as one of the foremost investi-
gators in the domain of natural history.
In his special field of entomology he
stood foremost among his fellow-scientists.
Prof. Riley was self-made man in the
best application of that much misused
term. He began to carve out his career
when quite a boy, aud even at an early
age gave evidence of the ability for the
class OF work Eat has made his name
famous among men of learning. He strove
not to enrich himself, save in wisdom, but
to increase the worlds fund of knowledge.
Ills activity lay in tue students chamber
ind in the scientists laboratory. Yet
he aimed not at abstruse problems, but
sought to help men by practical iuvestiga-
tion and suggestion.
Prof. Riley was at a time of life when
many years of usefulness would onii-
narily have lain before him. 1t ia pain
full in the extreme tocontemplate to the tragic
fact that so useful life was cut short SO
suddenly.

a great change in the condition of financial
affairs. By that time a liberal amount
of cotton and grain bills from Europe
should ease up the situation and practically
stop the rush of gold shipments to Europe.
1t is claimed that a combination of cir
cumstances has left the market bare of
commercial bills with which to meet for
eign payments, and as gold is the only
thing that can supply the deficiency its
shipment was necessary to meet the de-
mands.
This state of affairs demonstrates the
folly Of making the Government Treasury
banking Institution upon which to draw
to meet such emergencies. Our $247 800,
600 in greenbacks are made the means of
depicting our Treasury whenever gold
speculators want the yellow metal to ship
abroad. These greenbacks are paid out
one day TO be redeemed in gold the next,
and as only 500, 100000 in gold is
kept on hand to redeem nearly three
times that amount in greenbacks it is easy
to get up a scare that compels a sale of
bonds to prevent financial panic When
Congress meets again a way should be
found to stop this greenback speculation.

GEN. SCHOFIELD Is PLEASED
Receptions Accorded Him on His
Tour Cause Qualification.
the Troops Generally Are in
High State of Efficiency.

Lieut.. Gen. Schofield speaks in enthusias
tic terms of the reception accorded him
on his recent farewell tour of inspection,
and especially as to the courtesy shown
him in the Southern States.
He specifics the courtesies shown him
in Memphis, Tenn, the special invitation
rendered him by the City of New Orleans,
and his reception by the Confederate Vet
eraD Union and Loyal Legion and the
Graud Army OF the Republic at Houston,
Tex. He was very much pleased with
the friendliDess of the one-time enemies
and with the demonstrations OF affection
made by the Confederate Veterans for the
Stars and stripes. From san Antonio he
went to Ell Paso, Fort Bayard, Fort Win
gate and Fort Logan.
Fort WiDgate," said Gen. Schofield, ''is
an extremely important post and win have
to be retained. 1t will be many years be-
fore the usefulness OF this post has depart
ed. The only need for Fort Bayard at
the present time is to enforce the neutrality
laws with respect to Mexico.
From Fort Logan l went to Forts Riley,
LeayeD worth, NiobTara, Meade, Custer,
Robinson, and ID. A. Russell. The troops
in these garrisons were in a very high state
of efficiency and the posts themselves were
generally in very good condition. The
main defects are due to the want of suf-
ficieDt money for repairs"
Gen. Schofield next went to San Fran
cisco. where he inspected and conferred with
Col. Mendell, of the Engineer Corps, in re-
latiop to the harbor defenses of that city.
He sailed on June 81 for Sitka, Alasks,
and was absent twelve days. on his re-
turn from Sitka he made critical in
spcction of the various sites selected for
the defense of Puget Sound, and also in
spected the sites for the proposed military
post offered by the citizens of Tacoma
and Seattle.
1t is believed that Gen. Schofield's
inspection has had n salutary effect
upon the army at large 1t has also
enabled him to present to the Secretary OF
War q number of suggestions touching
the future administration of the army.
One of his reports contains number of
recommendations in regard to coast forti-

AGAINST UNLICENSED LIQUOR
TRAFFIC.

The proposed refusal of the excise board
10 grant licenses to the saloons in our i'm
moral plague spot is in keeping with the
general Ia wless policy of the District autheri-
ties in dealing with that section. Cbere are
within that shameless territory thirty one
licensed saloons, each of which pays into
the treasury fee of $500 for the privilege
of selling liquor during specified hours, and
under certain restrictions. In this same
territory are eighty-on houses of shame,
each of which is permitted to sell liquor at
all times of day and night without regula-
lions of restrictions, and also without the
payment of license fee. 1t is now pro-
posed to close the licensed saloons and turn
The entire liquor trade Of that locality over
10 the unlawful houses a t loss of S12, 400
revenue and al the expense of official in
tegrity.
II is bad enough that the most desirable
part of the business section of our Ma
tional Capital should be made haunt
for criminals and outcasts fihout officially
turning it into an unlicensed drinking resort,
and the officials who propose to extend to
it such extraordinary privileges are placing
themselves in an unenviable position.
There is probably no other city in the
entire world where such open La wlessness is
countcnanced. The contemporary between
our most beautiful and extensive park; and
one side of our principal and most conspicu-
GUS avenue is by authority of the Com
missioners given over to vice, and it is
now proposed to increase its opportunities
to debauch and ruin the young. 1t is time
this official lawlessness were stopped.
There is neither apology nor excuse for the
Maintenance of such a nest of immortality
in the heart of the city, and public senti
lent demands its immediate removal.

THE ORDER OF GENERAL AGENT
ALVEY.

1t is doubtful if the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company will sanction the con-
duct of General Agent Alvey in forbiddins
the sale of The Times at its depots and
speaking, railroad corporations. in their ca
pacity of public carriers, prefer obliging
courteous officials in order to merit the good
will of their patrons, and as General Agent
Alvey is not such an official, as will be
seen by interviews published in another
column, the sooner the company demands
his resignation the better it viii be for its
business.
As a matter of fact, General Agent
Alvey's boast that the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company has commenced a
war of determination on The Times is
superfluous rot. No corporation or ele-
ment can destroy fearless and honest
newspaper in a seIf-respectng community
And such an attempt on the part of Mr.
Alvey, with the grasping record of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad to back him,
would hardly be successful with the Wash
ington public
The Times published substan tally
correct report of the meeting Of the North
east Citizens Association at which it
was claimed that Mr.. Alvey had lied"
and until be can disprove that statement it
must continue to stand as a record of
fact.

iemand for export gold, and the statement
of the bond syndicate that it " as no longer

ARGUMENTFoRA FREELIBRARY.

Although the matter has not been def
iDitely decided it has been broadly inti-
mated that after the removal of the Con-
gressioDal Library 10 its new home the
lending OF books Will cease If this be the
conclusion the only available source from
which books can be procured without buy
ing them will be closed.
At best the method of lending volumes
from the Congressional Library has been
anything but popular. Illustrated books
and those out OF print cannot be taken out
OF the Library at all, and when any vol
ume is permitted to be taken its value in
money had to be deposited. This has been
about as unsatisfactory to the mass of read
ers as it well could be, and has barred the
vast collection from being looked upon
in any sense as peoples library.
While the necessity for a free popular
library is so great that it needs no argu-
meDt in its support, the possibility that
the great national collection will be closed
to readers except within the Library walls
should give an impetus to the movement so
well begun and which has been repeatedly
urged in The Times. At the very latest
the free Institution should be well estab-
hshed before the greater one becomes so
exclusive that one cannot borrow a book
fromit at a II except by making a temporary
loan to the government.

Mr.. and Mrs. Simms' Liberal Offer in

sion school house in Alexandria county, be-
tween representatives of the Arlington
school board and citizens of Carlin's, it was
decided to establish free school at the lat
Ter place upon a plan proposed by Mr.. and

S25 month towards maintenance of the

simms have agreed, in the absence of a
school building, TO provide rooms at th,ir
residence for the accommodation OF the

A lively fire took place in an alley
between Van and n streets and Third and
Four-and-a-half streets southwest about
7:30 O'Clock last night, threatening for
time to do considerable damage The fire
originated in q house in the alley owned
by Satnpson Thomas and occupied by
Celia Buchanan.
An alarm was sent in from box 427,
but owing to some trouble with the wires
it was fully twenty-five minutes before
the alarm got to headquarters and the
first engine arrived on the scene. Ten
minutes later the second engine arrived.
The fire had, in the meantime, totally
destroyed the house in the alley and spread.
to an adjoining house in Van street. As
soon as the engines got to work, however,
the flames were subdued. The damage
amounted altogether to about $500, with
no insurance. The cause of the fire is
unknown.

WATER METERS AND WASTE.

If on the first day of next month hotels,
factories, and other large water-consum-
ing establishments in the District have not
provided themselves with water meters,
their supply of the fluid is to be cut off
entirely Such is the law.
No doubt a good deal of Potomac water
is wasted in the buildings in which meters
are to be "de riguer- hereafter, and if this
waste is checked it will add just SO much to
the volume at the disposal of dwellings. But
the real, the great waste will never be
stopped until some means is found to pre-
vent it in the government departments.
There is more waste there in one day
than in all other places in the District
put together
Under the relations which the United
States sustains toward the District of
Columbia there would seem to be 10 good
reason why the government departments
should not pay for the water they use just
as well as private consumers, OF business
establishments The moiety of the Dis
trict expenditures, which the United States
pays. is in lieu of taxes upon government
property here. The rental of water lies
outside of this In the one case the United
States has placed itself upon the level of
the taxpayer, and in the other it Should
in equity and reason, be subject to the
same charges as any other consumer of
Potomac water in the District
Whether or not this can be brought about
is question, of course, for the government
is law unto itself in this respect. One
thing, however, is quite certain, and that
is that the water supply would be measur-
ably increased, so far as private consumers
are concerned, if the waste in the depart
ments were to be stopped.
