Three months ago The Star made known
to the people of Washington the liberal
proposition of Charles Broadway Rouss to
endow and establish in this city a southern
historical and memorial temple. The orig
inal idea has since been much improved
and there has also been a broadening of the
New York millionaire's liberality to such an
extent that there is promise of speedy rea-
lization. AS at first projected the memorial
would have been a comparatively small
affair but as the result of local agitation
and argument the design is now so COM
prehensve to be satisfactory in every
respect. Ii is interesting to note that the
south IS the first of the sections to seriously
consider the locating at the national cap
ital of structure designed to be repre-
sentative and educative. Years hence there
viii be established here a permanent ex-
position in which every state and territory
in the Union will have a share This
southern memorial seems to be the first
Step in that direction.

Yale's crew may win at Henley-every
American wants it to-but if it is victorious
there will be very many surprised people
on both sides of the Atlantic When the
Henley proposition first came up The Star
suggested that more than a preparatory
week of English climate would be likely to
do damage TO the American oarsmen The
climate has done all that it was claimed IL
could do. and then, as If physical disability
was not enough to render defeat probable,
the crew has experimental with English
oars and new rowing method. The folly
of swapping horses while crossing a stream
has often been exemplified, but the unwill-

How to Celebrate the Fourth.

The attention Of those who would under
standingiy and nationally celebrate the one
hundred and twentieth anniversary of the
Declaration of Independence is respectfully
directed toward the program Of the COM
bined patriotic societies, published in yes
terday's Star. Music. oratory. defamation
and gunpowder will contribute in proper
proportion to an appropriate and commend
able observance of the day. The rising gen.
Grafton is probably inclined to regard such
a celebration as old-fashioned and alto
gether out Of date; as a matter of fact 1t
can never become uselessly ancient so long
as this country continues to be true re-
public. The deeds of the fathers must not
be forgotten If we would maintain our
popular form of government.
Evening star., 1896-07-02

ingness Of men to profit by other peoples
experience Is again In evidence. The En-
glish oar may be better than the American
article. but the Yale boys have trained
with the American oar and are accus-
TONED to 1t. The English rowing-method
may be speedier and less wearisome than
the method practiced by Yale, but 1t would
be nonsense to make a change at this late
hour. These facts have been recognized
by Trainer Bob Cook but the recognition
comes only after great deal of valuable
time was wasted In foolish efforts to
Anglicize the minds and muscles Of Amer
leans. Yale may achieve a victory at Hem
ley. but the victory will be in spite of many
difficulties that should never have been
permitted to intervene.

The District Commissioners did the right
thing when they reappointed two of the
police surgeons. This was conspicuously
so as to Dr. j. Ramsay hewitt who en-
Ceared himself to the entire community by
his heroic devotion to public duty during
two limited but distressing epidemics of
smallpox which afflicted Washington some
time ago. This official and substantial
recognition of fidelity will do much to en-
