had been added to the original thirteen
states nine years before. and Kentucky and
Tennessee. the two states of the then west,
respectively, eight and four years before
the first meeting Of the Congress in WASH

When that Congress met 1t had 32 sena-
tors and 13S representatives.: now there are
80 senators and 357 representatives. The
sixteen states have increased to forty-hve,

United States was 5,30S, 4S3; now 1t Is 49,

Washington has in the intervening time
risen from absolute nothingness to one OF
the finest capital cities of the world unique
among capital cities in being created by the
general government cut Of nothing and be-
ing still directly governed by it.
A Steady and Substantial Progress.
From the Baltimore Herald.
The growth of Washington was distress
tngiy slow. At the beginning of the present
century ii was nothing more than stray
Cling village: there was nothing that re-
sembled modern streets. 1t was looked
upon as a most undesirable place for res
dence. 1t was really not until 1865. follow

ton began to get its solid growth.
Since that time its progress has been
SHADY and substantial. 1t Is now cOnSid-
cred by many travellers to be the most beau
tiful city in the world.
A National Anniversary.
From the Baltimore News Tuesday).
Citizens of the United States everywhere
have every reason to feel a keen satisfac-
ton in the circumstances under which the
centennial anniversary of the occupation
by the government of the United States OF
its permanent home in the District of Co.
lumbia will be celebrated tomorrow in
Washington. 1t is an event that will serve
forc.bly to direct the attention of the pres
ent generation to the wisdom and foresight
of their forefatherS in setting aside do
main separate and distinct from the juris-
diction of any one state for the home of
the national government. Time has proved
the efficacy of this plan, and the hundred
years which have rolled round over the
head of the District have constantly
strengthened the public appreciation OF the
plan by which the national capital was es:
tabished.
Apart from the institutions OF public gov
eminent. which lend it such distinctive
atmosphere, " ashington has acquired fea-
lures of its own as great and growing
municipality which in themselves contain
vast degree of interest. The Corcoran
Art Gallery, of course, stands foremost
among these. The centennial of the capital
is the centennial of a peoples city. The
nation as a whole has the interests and
growth Of Washington at heart. and as a
whole it naturally feels a pride in contem-
plating the anniversary of that which the
nation has accomplished in the development
of it's seat of government in a single hun
dred years.

The Work of u Generation.


The great changes which have classed
Washington as one of the most beautiful
cities in the world have come about in
generation 1t does not require an old man
to remember when Washington was a ma
larious, discredited town. Now many
globe trotters" who have been in all coun-
tries declare it to be the most beautiful
city in the world. OF course. ideas about
beauty differ. One man may award the
premium to the city which is most remark
able for it's public and private architecture
Another may make his award to the city
which has the widest streets the greatest
number of improved public parks and the
best pavements. We need have no quarrel
with the ardent admirers of Edinburgh
Paris and other cities Of the old world. A
uEanimity of abstract opinion would be
monotonous. In streets and parks and in
the general design the city of Washington
Is possibly entitled to the first place. She
is making progress in statuary, too. but
before she reaches high artistic ideal a
good many of her public statues will have
to be battered to pieces or presented to less
ambitious municipalities.
Some of the architecture of Washington
Is grand. The Capitol itself. though 1t has
been a long time in process of construction
and has been under many different archi-
tects, Is a subject of unremitting admira-
ton. 1t Is Corinthian. and though in its
entirely 1t Is much larger than anything
that was contemplated in the classic or
ders, ii is consistent. and contents the eye

ate and House wings are. by themselves,
classic gems. The new building for the
Library of Congress. both as to exterior
and interior. is probably without superior
in the wide world. 1t Is very much to be
doubted, indeed. II its equal has been built
The solidity of the public buildings Of
Washington is another subject OF comment
by travellers who have observed closely

flimsy and perishable material than Is en-
ployed in the construction of public build

Will Remain Here Forever.
From the Boston Herald

Tomorrows celebration OF the one
hundredth anniversary Of the establish
ment of the national capital at Washington
will furnish the orators Of the occasion with
a great opportunity for some eloquence on
the marvellous growth Of the country dur
ing the century. A hundred years ago
Washington was near the geographical
center of the original thirteen states, but
1t is about ! 800 miles away from the geo.
graphical center Of the present forty-five
states and four territories, though it is
more accessible, even from the far Pacific
slope. than 1t was from Boston before the
railroads and the telegraph annihilated dis
lance. 1t is the tremendous influence Of
these latter agencies that has defeated all
efforts to move the seat of the national
government westward, and 1t Is reasonably
safe to calculate that the national capital
will remain where it is forever.

When Washington last beheld the city
which bears his name, shortly before his
death in 1893, it was struggling settle
ment in the woods. almost wholly devoid
of streets, with thirty or forty residences
most of these small and uncomfortable
and unfinished Capitol and Presidents
house. Indeed Washington long remained
a sparsely built unsghtly city and COM
fortress place of residence. For more than
a generation its growth in population was

lage in the land; and so late as 1910 De
Bacourt, the French minister. could write
that Washington was neither city, nor
a village, nor the country" but "a building
yard placed in desolate spot, wherein liv-
Ing is unbearable." The opening of the
civil war found 1t a dirty. struggling, I'M
kempt town. The water supply came from
pumps and springs; there were neither
street cars nor paved streets: no fire de-
partment, police force worthy Of the name,
and not sewer in the city. Earthen bluffs
lined the river bank; stables and wooden
fences surrounded the White House; the
present departments were not half finished,
and the parks and commons were given up
to weeds. But all this was changed by the
struggle for the Union. which doubled the
population of Washington and brought in
freedom and northern enterprise, but more
important still, by a thousand moving and
glorious associations, endeared the capital
to the people of the whole country. Then
came its remaking by Shepherd and his
associates. Now 1t is a truly imperial city.
and the judgment of Washington and the
genius Of L'Enfant have been indicated.

Of the world one of the most magnificent of
there has arisen a city which at the close
of its first century challenges comparison

and which in it's tedius evolution represents
innumerable triumphs of American genius

growth and splendor of Washington mark
the nations progress in power and culture.
They are matters of common pride to all
patriotic Americans, and tomorrow's cele-
