GOOD PARK WORK

One Of the most hearty and satisfac-
tory of the annual municipal reports
lately filed is that of Park Superin-
tendent Meserve. In its recit al of
the multitude of things that have been
done, and we'll done, it is uggestive of
isstic official can accomplish. With
comparatively limited means at his
disposal, the uperintendent has
wrought splendid improvements in
some of the parks and marked changes
for the better in all of the m. His work
and the results should be m ost graft
flying to everyone interested in the
progress of the city, for beautiful parks
constitute most essential factor in
the popularizing of place. If the de-
velopment Of the possibilities of the
community's breathing places will be
rs great in each of the neXt few years as
it has been in the last twelvemonth, be-
fore very long we will be able to boast
of parks worthy of being enlisted
among the beauty spots of the world.
The transformation which has oc-
CURED in East Side and Hollenbeck
parks since January of 1895 will be as
tonishing to such of our residents as
have not visited these resorts since the
time noted, and it has resulted in max
ing them the recreation resorts of
large portion of our population. With
the completion of electric systems of
transportation to both they will soon
substantially divide Sunday honors
with Westlake park.
The superintendent's recommends
tions relative to Echo park are deserv-
ing of careful and favorable cons idera-
ton. This park is situated in Sec
ton of ths city which is being rapidly
built up and which, for healthf fulnes s
and natural attractiveness, will com
pare favorably with any other part.
Contrary, probably, to the belief of
thousands of people who have not
taken the trouble to visit it, Echo is
nearer to the bus ness part of the city
than any o.her park except Central,
on tho line of an electric railroad
and but one block from the
Temple street cable railway. With
the expenditure of compare
lively modest sum it can be made
a handsome and popular "people
playground" A deficient irrigation
system aud the lack of m cans for regu
lating the mount of water in the lake
during the rainy season of the year
constitute serious wbacks and pre-
vent realization of the ample posi-
bilities of the park.
The suggestion that Echo bs en-
larged by the addition of the block OF
ground that lies between the parks
present southern limits and Tenn pie
trset should b. all msans be ad optel
if the property needed can bs acquired
at reasonable price. The character
of the block is such that it cannot ba
satisfactorily utilized for residence
sites without expensive filling and
grading, but the very features which a,
present unfit it for building may be
made attractive in park at inconsid-
cradle expense. The addition OF this
land would give Echo an entrance
directly on Temple street and round

HILLS PLATFORM.

In letter from Senator Hill, read
at the Fourth-of-July celebration Of the
Tammany Society last Saturday, the
Democratic party's creed is thus sum
married.:
Opposition to Capitalization, pluto
cracy. and paternalism.
The best money in use. Money Of in
trinsic value. hard money, gold and silver
securely established by international
agreement with leading nations; no de-
preciated. unexportable, 50-cent dollars at
any ratio.
mo legal-tender paper money, but
whatever paper currency which conVe-
nience may require shall be convertible
at an times into coin at the demand OF
the holder The UNFOLDING of the national
credit at whatever cost.
Taxation TO be always for public pur-
poses. No tariffs for the building up OF
monopolies. the regulation Of prices, or
the distribution of legislative advantages
TO favored classes"
But who are the boilers we read OF In so
many papers? If the Chicago convention
divides into two factions. and each fac
ton claims to be the genuine Demo-
cratic party. with which Of them will
Virginia. Democrats act? We take it that
the silverites will drop all the specifca-
tons in the Hill platform, and seek to
divide the voters into sllverites and anti
silverites. The talk OF boiling IS so gene

NOW EoR CLEAR WATER.

The new Council. at its first meeting
Monday evening. put its best foot foremost
I'm the movement It inaugurated through
Mr. Hawkins for furnishing clear water
for our citizens. This is a move in the
right direction. The water question Is
the great municipal question OF the day.
Clear water is the one thing needful TO
make Richmond the most desirable place
of residence in the United States, not TO
say I'm the world. Other councils have
passed resolutions OF Investigation I'm this
line. but have done little else. The new
Council must not be satisfied with any
thing short of furnishing clear water TO
our people. Experts In analysis, both
north and south, have declared the
James-river water. when freed from Abe
marie and Fluvanna mud. to be almost
absolutely pure. By a comparatively small
outlay, and by means of large settling
lakes. the work Of securing clear water
can be accomplished. Our Superintendent
of Water-Works has demonstrated this
in one or more OF his reports.
We sax TO the new Council: You have
made a good beginning. and il you ac-
nothing more during your term
Of service than securing for Richmond the
boon of clear water. you will have
mcrited and will receive the everlasting
thanks Of your beloved city.

THE NECESSITY For 1T.

The New York Mail and Express, in
referring TO the recommendations in the
report of the History Committee OF the
United Confederate Veterans. says that
the question Of chief interest is not
whether these recommendations will be
adopted or rejected, but whether, If
adopted. they will be so acted upon as
10 foster sectional feeling, or will be made
the medium of dispassionate and I'M
biased record for the information OF the
children of the South as Americans. not
the means Of intoxicating distorted opin-
ions Of the merits Of the war.
The New Orleans Picayune in com
menting on this says:
"The South has no desire TO instruct her
children i'm anything save a true and
faithful account OF the war, its causes.
and effects: and whatever author may be
chosen as a standard historian for her
tells the truth as ne has found IT by re-
search, without fear or favor"
The Picayune is right The South can
afford. and is willing 10 trust her Hndi-
cation to the simple truth Of history.
The necessity for the work of the History
Committee grew out of the fact that north
ern historians OF the war were not only
distorted opinions OF the
merits of the conflict. but were distorting
the truth as 10 actual occurrences.

VANDERBILT TO TEACH FORESTRY
Plan Revealed by Seizure of Books
George Has Imported.
(New York JournalJ

i.NfW Iblh JDuAiihi'J
In order to escape the payment Of
duty on nifty books, George Vanderbilt will
have to tell Uncle Sam all about a
scheme he has for the education Of young
men in forestry at Blltmore, his famous
North Carolina estate, where he is os-
tablishing a library OF books devoted to
that branch OF learning He recently
purchased some books I'm Europe printed
in foreign languages. Some Of them are
rare editions. They came over packed
carefully IN ten cases.
The volumes arrived the other day.
with directions that they should be re-
shipped TO Biltmore. The man OF mill
lions evidently did not take into con-
sideration that duty might be levied, but
customs officials carefully opened and in
vestlgated the case. The law provides that
books in foreign languages and more than
twenty years old can come i'm free of
duty. and under this provision all but
fifty OF the books were admitted These
fifty were held until Collector Kilbreth
could be consulted, and when tho mat
ter was brought to his attention he de-
clared they were subject TO duty, because
they were printed within the twenty-year
limit.
Mr.. Vanderbllts representative imme-
diately appealed against the assessment
to the Board OF General Appraisers. one
Of the points that will be made IS that
the books are within the provisions OF
clause No. 40 of the Wilson tariff law,
which specifies that scientific books de-
voted TO original research should be adj
mltted free OF duty.
The most important point however,
will be under clause No. il3. which speci-
hes that books intended for a public IL
brary shall come in free. This is re-
ferred TO i'm the appeal made by Mr.. Van
derbit, and reveals his plan Of establish
Ing a library for forestry students The
library is TO be called the Biltmore Adore
tum Library, and will contain the best
works on forestry that have been print
ed. a great many such books arc al
ready I'm the collection Of Mr. Wander
bilt, and he will get more as quickly as
he can find them.
Mr.. Vanderbilt has built n few cot
tages on his Bitmore estate for students.
who. in return. will be expected to look
after the care and the planting Of trees.
and to tell workmen how to prune and
protect rare specimens transplanted from
other cllmes.
The opportunity FOR studying forestry
on Mr.. Vanderbit's estate IS as good as
can be found east of the Rocky Noun
tains. The library will be located near
the Vanderbilt mansion. and will be open
TO all the students. Because II Is 10 be

TRIBUTE TO RICHMOND.
Thanks of an Eloquent MnryInnder

Baltimore. July 3. 1896.
To the President Of the Dispatch Com
pany:
My Dear Sir.-Now that the din Of the
battle has passed into silence. and the
joys unspeakable have become n blessed
memory, the desire is uncomfortable to
say something Of thanks to you for your
special watchfulness over us during our
blessed pilgrimage to Richmond.
There were at first tears in my eyes
and sorrow in my heart as I saw every
where the manned and battered and
bruised forms Of our immortal heroes,
but these tears were soon dried. and glad
ness soon followed sorrow, as / found each
one OF them glorying i'm the battle-scars
he wore. and happy that they were won
in the forefront Of the fight.
Never in all history has a grander page
been written. Never. since resistance met
oppression. and. striving long and pain
fully and hopelossly and desperately. was
overcome and crushed. has there been
given such wOndrous witness TO the Just
ness of "our cause" as was given by
the glad shouting and the tumultuous
outburst Of unbouPht devotion TO its
OtdtNltSS DflNtlpItS D9 lUoSt great idt-
tors in the struggle. All else was lost
to them but honor. and these heroes,
knowing this. were happy. even as con-
querors might be.
And greater and grander yet and more
potent for good now and in the long
time hereafter forever, was the tender
testimony of those matchless women.

INTERNATIONAL FREE COINAGE.

We have from the beginning advocated
international free coinage. We find that
President Andrews, OF Brown University.
Rhode Island, has now come out for IT..
Under date of June ODD in reply
to the question what objection he would
urge TO free coinage by the United States
at l6 to l without waiting for an inter
national agreement, he said: Il reply
that I would urge none. The vast new
output Of gold in recent years as com
pared with that Of silver impresses me
that free coinage by US alone would not
lead to the displacement OF our gold;
that, therefore, free coinage would be
safe. If it is safe. 1t is certainly de-
sirable. or course. no one can be abso-
lutely certain that we could proceed with
free-silver coinage and yet retain our
gold. l, therefore DO not dogmatize, but
leave that TO the gold men"
We do not publish these utterances be-
cause we have "casted on as an interna-
tional free coinage advocate. but TO let
our readers see that President Brown
says free coinage would be safe. and IL
safe, desirable. Yes, drop all minor ques-
lions. and come out for international
free coinage. 1t is :he one financial need
of the whole world.
