THE ADVANTAGES OF WASHINGTON.

THE OF WASHINGTON.
For a structure so comprehensive and far
reaching in its purposes the ftucss and log
icaI superiority of Washington as a location
are generally recognized. Tue District of
Columbia was carved from the States of
Virginia and Maryland and is strongly rep
resented in the sentiment and principles of
both. 1t is said that nearly 40, 900 Virginians
and over 10000 Marylandcrs. combined with
the immense flow from the Southern States,
form fully 100000 of the city's population,
representing a people who naturally inherit
and cultivate the customs and habits of their
nativity. The sishtseer of to-day Is impressed
with the grandeur of the national buildings,
stateiiucss of the monuments and statues, and
the beauty of the circles and parks. The
east and west are present in hundreds of ways,
but there appears to be little, if anything.
notable to apprise the visitor that to the south
Of Washington lies q country of great historic
interest and boundless in natural and scientific
resources.
In addition to its being q monument to its
history and traditions, the proposed memorial
will be for the South an exponent of its great
manufacturing, mineral and agricultural ad-
vantages to the intelligent prospector, capt.
talisis and investor and immigrants from other
portions of the country rs well as from abroad.
Its in1uerce would, it is claimed, be felt in
hundreds of ways, and it would be secn and
visited by thousands who would never see or
hear of it if located in any other city. 1t is
said that with proper and practical encourage
Incnt from those interested in the welfare and
advancement OF the city the already tiattering
chances to obtain it would be made doubly sure.
