SEASON OF DIPLOMAS.

Diplomas are the order of the day just
now. They are falling as thick as the
proverbial leaves in vallambrosa. and youn g
men and young girls fairly revei in the
beautifully gotten up documents with col
ored ribbons and seals attached. To them
they are the stamp of approval of good work
well done, the outward evidence of years
OF hard study, and the attainment OF an
acquired degree of excellence. The diplomas
como to the recipients with the accompani-
ment OF flowers and music and speech
making. and hearts beat high as the holders
of the precious documents leave the school
behind them and step forth into the busy
arena of life. All this is as it should be.
Nothing would bc more cruel than TO divest
the leavc-taking from school of all the
glamour that properly belongs to it.
But when the music has died away
and the speeches have been forgotten and
the flowers have lost their fra ragrance, then
comes the question "Cui bonum?' What
use will the young men and young
women make OF that parchment, or rather
of that excellence in this, that or the
other branch of learning in which they have
perfected themselves? The answer lies
close at hand. They should regard the
commencement not as eendofall learning.
That which they have acquired at school is
but the foundation upon which they must
build carefully if they would rear the
superstructure of life useful not only to
themselves but to their fellowmen. An
old song says that the whole world is
but a school and men are the pupils in it,
In that light the youth and the naidens
that go forth from their "alma mater
should look upon it.
If they would not have spent their school
years in vain. they must not relax their
efforts to learn with the moment the
diplomas are placed in their hands. They
must continue to labor earnestly, in
teligently, industriously. In that way,
and in that way only, can they hope to
achieve success.

How WE HAVE PARED.

So far as the work of the session of
Congress. which closed yesterday, affects
tic District. it may be said that it might
have been better, but it also might have
been a great deal worse. We have not
gotten nearly all we wanted, but rather
morc that lately We bad reason to expect.
In a half hearted sort of fashion. Congress
has acknowledged the wants of the Dis
trict, but it could not screw UP its courage
to the sticking point of giving all that Is
needed. 1t knew that we ought to have
at least 125 more policemen. and it gave
Us fifty. 1t knew that we ought to have
at least four more fire engines, and 1t
gave us two. 1t knew that we should have
had the fire boat. and 1t refused TO give
that. II knew that we need great many
more schoolhouses and it only gave us
few. Last, and most important OF all, it
knew that Washington is actually suffer.
ing for a larger supply OF water, and
again Congress failed to do anything save
promise something for some future day.
The people OF the District cannot be
blamed # they feel very sore on this point.
For years their surplus revenues have
been literally sunk in Lydecker's hole
in the ground although they were in no
wise responsible either for its inception,
had not asked for it, were not consulted
in regard 10 it, and. in fact, opposed the
scheme when they found what was aimed.
1t was begun and carried forward by army
engi neers under the dire ction of the
general government, and the people of the
District had nothing To do with it before
the work was begun or after IL had been
abandoned. save that their surplus reve-
nues were compulsorily applied to the
exiingushing of u debt which the United
States had created. Now that an inspec
ton by presumably competent engineers
has disclosed the fact that the tunnel
can be made useful to give Washington
a very much fuller water supply, Congress
Instead of granting the required authority
and appropr;ating the funds, thinks it
gate some more.
Perhaps the people of the District ought
to reverse the old adage and declare them
selves thankful for large favors and small
ones in proportion The total of appro-
priations is a trile larger than that for
the currentfiscal year, but very considerably
less than that for the preceding twelve
mouths. The number of District bills
passed at this session is unusually large,
and as we have at least obtained Fart
70 will ha
just as well, perhaps, to look at things
through optimistic spectacles aud hope
for better luck next time.

CHARITIES IN THE DISTRICT
Committee Named to Investigate
During the Recess.

Among the last official acts of Speaker
Reed was the appointment of Messrs Pitney.
Blue and Doekery us members of the joint
commission provided for in the District
of Columbia appropriation bill, to sit during
the Congressional recess and investigate the
question of municipal charities in this city.
While neither of these gentlemen belongto
the House District Committee, all of them
are members of the subcommittee of the
Appropriations Committee, having in charge
financial legislation relating to the Dis
trict.
In making these appointments Mr.. Reed
has pursued his usual policy of recognizing
the expressed sentiment of a majority of
the House. That branch of Congress has
by several votes declared its opposition to
the appropriation OF money for the aid Of
institutions either private or sectarian in
their character. and the members of the
commission were selected with that end
in view.
Messrs. Pitney and Blue are both on
record as being unalterably opposed to
the use of public money except under i'm
mediate governmental supervision, and their
opinions in this respect extend to the
District as well as all other departments
for which funds are allotted. While Mr.
Dockery has largely maintained nom
committal attitude on the question, his
sympathies are said to lie with certain
of the institutions which are now and
have been receiving assistance. Conse-

which close the session, desire to offer
10 the House my grateful recognition of

OLD GLoRY's ANN1vERsARY


On Sunday recurs the anniversary of
the adoption Of the flag of our country, a
day which fortunately is locked upon
with patriotic pride that grows stronger
and becomes more firmly rooted every
year. Thanks TO the effort Of Colonel
Ba!cb and the perseveriDg endeuvors Of
the Wornans Relier-C Cvrps, this aDniver-
ary has come 10 be observed throughout
the land by proper ceremoDiaIs in the
schools and by appropriate exercises at
Owing TO its falling ON Sunday, it will
be celebrated in Washington today, and
the program TO be gone through in schools
and elsewhere will serve 10 impress upon
young and old anew the story of the Stars
and Stripes
IL is well on this day to remember that
for which the flag stands II stands for
liberty of conscience, for freedom Of
thought and action, for government BY
the consent of the governed, for the in
aiieuabie rights of life. liberty, and the
pursuit of happiness II stands for ell
lishtenment and. progress: for peace and
prosperity; for everything that free men
hold most dear. 1t is a flag to he
looked UP to without tinge of shame be-
cause of injustice done under its folds:
1t is flag to be revered, because 1T
stands FOR help to the oppressed in all
lands; 1t is flag which syrntolizes lbe
highest and best aspirations of humanity,
Love OF it, reverence for it cannot be
taught too earnestly nor too often. Old
and young, men and women, white and
black, rich and poor. should learn the
lesson anew and cherish Old Glory be-
cause 1t is the beautiful emblem OF the
greatest republic the world ever knew.
