Rawlins Square.

From the New York Sun
The Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton are valuable citizens, in that they Gull
tivate national sentiment; but the PROPOSE
ton to give to them the public territory in
Washington known as Rawlns Square, for
a building for their society, should be hus-
tied out of Congress in a manner unre-
strained by any rules of ladyhood.
Rawlins Square has already been dedi-
Gated 10 the American public, and to con-
vey 1t to a private club is, to speak dispas-
sionately inadvisable 1t is to the great
credit of the Hon. David Bremner Hendefe
son, therefore, that he has eXerted the
power of the Speaker in blocking a bill for
this purpose which had come over to the
House of Representatives from the Senate.
II seems that the Fathers of the Republic
who sit in the senatorial seats have fallen
all too easily to their wives. daughters and
friends who pleaded with them in the Rev
dictionary Daughters behalf.
The special bill for this appropriation hav-
ing been blocked in the House, 1t Is re-
ported that it will reappear amend
ment to the sundry civil bill. Alas, that
such things should be SO. The stars and
stripes, having been hoisted on Rawlins
Square as the emblem of complete Ameri-
can sovereignty, should never be hauled
down.

him to play his best cards at present. But

The contrast between the present and the

instructive. Mr.. Adelbert Hay is now in
London. where his care for the interests
of the British prisoners has insured for him
a warm welcome. This might be cited as
an instance of trucking Fto Great Britain
were it not for the fact that when he left
Pretoria the burghers honored him with a
farewell dinner. In other words, he OBJ
served all the duties of a neutral and won
respect and esteem from both sides. Mr..

himself partisan Of the Beers and made
himself unpopular with both sides, to say

When he came home even those who would
gladly have used him as a stick to beat the
administration soon dropped him, and he
was compelled to retire into the obscurity
from which he came. There could be no
better illustration of the need of a con-
acter and good attachments.
