Mr. James w. welch. acting as agent
Tor his mother, Mrs Nancy Nelch, has
made a proposition TO the city which is
not only impraeticSblc but absurd, Re
offers six acres towards a public park
site, with the idea that other property
owners in the vicinity % the proposed
park will add to his donation, and on
the understandings that tho park So iorm-
ed lay general contribution " land be
perpetuslly known ny his mothers name
Some people in the city have heea I'M
kind enough to say that when Mrs Wclch
offered six acres GU ~ her twenty acrc
tract, her sou dld not TAIL to see that. Il
the gtft were utilized Tor park purposes,
the balance OF the property would he
worth about ten times as much as it is
today, and that the proposal was made
with an eye to the main chance. While
the fact remains that this would I'M
doUbtedly he y result ot the acceptance
Of the donation We don't think that ii was
the motive that impellod the Wolch fam.
ny to make the oner, Whether il was
or not, tt could be no obstacle as FAR as
the city is concerned There is an obsta-
Gle. however, and a serious one. which
will preclude tho city accepting the prop
osition now or a. any other time 1t is
utterly unreasonable to think that the
citizens OF Astoria will allow their pub
lie park 10 he saddlcd with the name OF
any private individual, when the sole
claim Of that Individual to such an honor
Is the donation Of a small fraction Of the
property, Neither IS it reasonable TO
suppose that other property owners who
are prepared 10 give as freely and as
generously as the wach family towards
this worthy object are willing TO have
their unconditional donations bauched to-
gether under the name ot the Nancy
weleh Park"
II seems 10 US unfortunate tina MIR.
wclch has tied this six acre offer up in
such a way as to make ii impossible OF
acceptance. A yift with undetachable
strings on it is no gift at ell. and II a
citizen is public spirited enough 10 do
e generous thing he ought to look for
his reward in the rood will Of his fellow
citizens rather than in the egotistical per-
Petuation Of his family name.

Germany celebrates this week the
twenty-ffth anniversary, or silver jubl-
lee, of the foundation Of the present en-
pire. Although since the memorable
proclamation Of the latter in the grandi-
ose palace Of the former kings Of France
at Versailles only a quarter Of a century
has elapsed, yet the disappearance from
the scene Of well-nigh all the chief actors
in that historic spectacle, az well as in
the struggle that preceded il, somehow
or other conveys the impression that It
happened not twenty-five, but fifty. or
even a hundred, years ago. This is all
the more to be regretted from a Teuton
point Of view, since It serves to weaken
the memories of that ~comradeship on the
bloody fields Of 1S70-71, which contributed
so much to secure the cohesion Of the
various federal states OF the empire after
the war with France. Moreover, the
ever-growing disposition Of Prussia to en-
croach upon the autonomy and i~ndepend-
ence of other powers Of the confe1ere-
ton has still further loosened the bonds
Of union that formed its principal
strength, while throughout Germany pub
lie resentment has been aroused by a
tendency on the part OF the emperor to
