Program of Exercises.
The exercises in the Washington schools
will not be so elaborate as those planned
in many of the other cities of the Union.
but there will be no lack of enthusiast or
interest in the matter. Nowhere in the en-
tire country are the school children more
familiar with the service rendered the
United States by Lafayette than are those
here in Washington, where there are al
ready many evidences of respect to his
memory. The exercises will be simple and
patriotic, consisting for the most part of
teachers and a few of the scholars
The teachers have been allowed much
latitude IN the selection of style of cele-
brating the day. In each grade of the
many schools the children will be askei
to contribute their mite toward the rearing
OF the projected magnificent memorial 1t
is estimated that the cost of the monument
viii be in the neighborhood of quarter
OF million dollars. and this amount will
be raised from among the school children
OF the country.
Superintendent Powell is in accord with
the movement to honor Gen. Lafayette }
memory, and it was through his instru-
mentality that tomorrow afternoon will be
given over to Lafayette day exercises
The children OF Washington are expected
to contribute an amount that will be a
credit to the capital city of the nation.
Lafayette day exercises will be held in
| the chapel of Columbian University tomor-
row morning at 9:15 o'clock. Addresses
| will be made by DIR. Swishler, professor of
history, and others.

LAFAYETTE'S MEMORY
Youth of America to Assist in Its
Perpetuation.
LETTER FROM PRESIDENT M'KINLEY
Program to Be Observed in Public
Schools Of Washington.
MONEY FOR MONUMENT FUND

Lafayette day will be observed in all the
public schools of Washington tomorrow,
the exercises to be in honor of the ami
versary of the surrender of CORVALLIS at
Yorktown, and in commemoration of the
valor of Gen. Lafayette and the service
rendered the country by the eminent French
soldier. The celebration will begin at
o'clock in the afternoon and continue until
the many programs shall have been COM
pleted
Tomorrow has been set apart by the
school trustees of Washington and by the
officials of educational institutions through
out the entire country as day on which
the American school children shall con-
tribute to the fund being raised by the
Lafayette Memorial Association and with
which ii is proposed to erect monument
to the French hero of the American revoiu-
ton in Paris, the unwilling to take place
amid proper pomp and ceremony during
the exposition of 1850 The movement to
erect an enduring memorial to the man who
aided the thirteen colonies in their fight
for freedom from British rule has been
lnauSurated on large scale, the me mortal
association having secured the hearty
operation of the heads of the counIry's col
leges and universities, as well the off,
Gals of the public school systems in thu
various cities.
While the praises of Lafayette have been
sung from generation to generation, his
name cheered whenever mentioned in an
assemblage of American people, ind his
deeds of valor recounted amid enthusiastic
applause by the foremost orators, no sub
stantial or BETTING tribute has been paid
his memory. 1t is to rectify this neglect of
more than a century that the Lafayette
Memorial Association was formed. The
proposition to erect monument that
will surpass in beauty and grandeur any
now standing in the French capital has
met with universal approval. The most
pr minent men of the day have identified
themselves with the movement, which has
also been Endorsed by the President and
both houses of Congress.

"EXECUTIyE MANSION.

washington, September II, 1898.
My Dear Sir: Your letter written in be-
half of the Lafayette memorial commission
has greatly interested me. and / have read
with much satisfaction the plans already
outlined for the proposed monument to the
memory of great soldier and patriot
The undertaking is one in which | am
sure 1t will be considered privilege to par
tlcipate, and the idea that the students in
the schools, colleges and universities shall
take prominent part in this tribute will
not only be of vast educational value as
one of the most important epochs in his
tory, but will keep prominently before them
the inspiration of a high ideal of devotion
to great principles and of the public recog-
milton paid to lofty purposes.
General Lafayette was but young man
when he eSpoused the cause of liberty and
independence, overcoming well-nigh insur-
mountable obstacles to do so. II is alto
gether fitting, therefore, that the youth of
America should have part in this testi-
mOnial to his goodness and greatness
Il am glad to note that your committee
has fixed a date when our people in every
part of the country, may testify their inter
est in this proposed monument and their
determination that the movement already
begun shall achieve the greatest success.
Very sincerely yours

TWO NOT OF A KIND.

Editors always receive advice very CRATE
fully. but they cannot but be embarrassed
when n fellow uses the language of their
own articles to tell them how question
ought TO be discussed. And sometimes
they are compelled to be disguised by
men who rarely read papers telling them
that such and such a subject upon which
many articles have already been printed)
"should be brought TO public attention."
How different the competent and well
come adviser. He is diligent reader
and understands and remembers what he
reads. His suggestions are always valu-
able. They may not be used to-day or
tomorrow. but in time they win be work
ed in in some suitable place.
For him there is always ready an easy
chair in the editoral-room, which he
never speaks of as "sanctum." He Is
sensible, too, in that he knows when to
come and when TO go. Never does he
consume time by stating that he is going
to be very brief" or linger and linger
after he has risen to go.
Long life to him. In comparison with
some others, he shines out like the Kohl

ROsEBERY,s JINGOIsM.

wednesday Lord Rosebery, the Liberal
leader and former Premier. made a speech
AZ Epson, and in referring to The
| Fashoda dispute, was Jingoistio 10 'he
| last degree He cast diplomatic language
10 the winds, took the position that Great
Britain had been affronted by France
| negatively charged the Salisbury govern
ment with having been too conciiiatofy'
and virtually threw down the gauntlet 10
| the French nation.
Considering, however. his record ana
training, and his present relations TO the
| British Government, France Is not hReiy
| 10 take his Lordship as seriously as ne
takes himself. His outburst was simply
another illustration Of the truth OF the
adage. Like master. like man.
Rosebery was a scholar Of Gladstone's,
and inherited the premiership from the
latter In his EPSON speech, In so far
as IL dealt with the Fashoda question. his
Iordship but followed in the footsteps OK
his illustrious predecessor, and showed
that he had been an appreciative pupil
We have the highest regard for MI
Gladstone's personal character. and re-
cognize that in more respects, perhaps,
than any other Briton of his day he
measured up to the highest standard OF
craftsmanship. But the story OF his
career compels us to recognize, also, that
as TO British foreign policy he was In
fniteIy more aggressive when out Of
power than when in power. Had he been
as aggressive in power as when out OF
power, there would have been no necessity
for Kitcheners Anglo-Egyptian Nile ex-
petition.
The Grand Old Man was great on for
mulating when out of the ministry mea-
sures for the maintenance of British
prestige abroad, but when in the minis
try he failed to make these measures ac-
tive practical forces. In this difference
between Gladstone seeking the premier
ship and Gladstone holding the premier
ship was his weakness. Great Britain's
rivals understood that weakness and pre-
sumed upon II and profited by 1t. BY the
same token, knowing, as they did, Rose
bery's tutelage and inheritance, they did
not worry much over his foreign policy
when he was Premier. They judged the
man by the master.
SO we repeat, that France will hardly
take his Lordship as seriously In this mat
ter as he takes himself. Consequently
she is not likely TO allow his speech TO
provoke her to the extent of antagonizing
too far Lord Salisbury. who, 1t must be
evident to her, really means business.
In short Lord Rosebery's jingoism is not
calculated to complicate the situation In
the slightest.
