not song to cause a nations heart to
thrill with patriotism. but it touched the
tender sympa thies of many millions. 1t
was sung in various languages and to diff
ferent tunes. Its early popularity was GER
tainly not the result of the music to which
it was set, although the later generation
which heard it's revival may have asso-
ciated it with the melody now in vogue.
Had English followed this success with
other metrical efforts he might perhaps
have become Americas greatest song
writer, and possibly have achieved a far
greater success in that direction than he
scored in his various professional capaci-
ties. Assuredly. the remarkable popularity
and longevity Of Ben Bolt compared with
the relatively Insignificant stir which its
author caused In the world Of statesman
ship, law, medicine or dramatic art, rem
der Fletcher's assertion more than ever
suggestive.

To Beautify Washington.
From the New York Times.

From the New York Times.
Mr.. Cannon chairman of the House COM
mittee on appropriations, showed a very
discouraging narrowness and inapprecia-
tiveness when the question of the plan for
the improvement of Washington came up
in the consideration of the sundry civil bill
Thu plan Is SO inspiring, and promises so
noble result it has been so warmly &C
claimed by all persons of authority in these
matters, that it was to be expected that
Congress would at once adopt it in it's main
lines. That adoption would not necessarily
have cost a dollar. 1t would have been
simply declaration on the part of Congress
that whatever improvements were made in
the District should be made in accordance
with this carefully, artistically and most
successfully studied scheme
The scheme was not meant to be executed
at once. Those who framed 1t took long
Views, just as LEnfant did when he laid
out Washington originally on plan so vast
that only now, after more than a century,
car the execution of it in it's entirety be
begun. Mr.. Cannon objects to that part
of the plan which contemplates the re-
the triangle between Pennsylvania avenue
and the mall. which it unwisely parted with
just as it unwisely allowed private occupa-
ton of the mall itself. But this resumption
need not be immediate. any more than the
acquisition Of Lafayette square or Of the
grounds facing the Capitol. The project sim
ply provides sites for future public buildings
as they may be needed AS for Mr.. Cannon,
the OILY puDilC uuiluiIS IOT WIlCn he ADMITS
an urgent and Immediate need is one which
shall furnish private Offices for all members
OF the House of Representatives. In this
his colleagues seemed enthusiastically to
agree with him.
The sticking point with Mr.. Cannon seems
to be his requirement that the taxpayers
Of the District shall pay half the expense
OF the proposed improvement. But there Is
nothing in this. For ordinary municipal ex-
penses, incurred for ordinary municipal
housekeeping. the arrangement that Che,
District shall pay half is doubtless equitable
But there is not a town of the size of
Washington in the world that would be JUS
titled in undertaking to bear half the cost
o. executing such scheme of embellish-
ment as has been prepared by the expert
commission. 1t would be extravaganza in
viting bankruptcy. 1t Is the capital city Of
| the United States that is thus to be adorn-
ed. All Americans are proud Of the capital
If Mr.. Cannon thinks the country at large
would not cheerfully bear the COST or by
far the greater part Of the cost, of making
| i. the most beautiful capital city in the
world. we believe he does them great in
Justice.

April.

Now April is a tropic lass
With languid sunshine all aglow;
And next alack! 1t comes to pass
She weeps with an appealing woe.
The lass with blossoms in her hair
The lass with raiment all austere;
The Ass who frowns or smiles at care
All these we find you, April dear.
And now and then there comes a chill
With lingering snowflakes all a-whirl;
And we are all abaShed and still
When April is a Boston girl.
