PARKS. NOT PARADE GROUNDS.

Mayor Mcclellan Is considering the advisable
ity and propriety OF permitting the National
Guardsmen to drill in Central Park at frequent
intervals during the summer months. II cor
rectly understood. he is inclined 10 let a similar
use be made OF Prospect Park, but apparently
he has overlooked the fact that the Borough OF
Brooklyn already possesses an open space OF
about forty acres which is perfectly adapted to
the purpose and actually used by the militia
from tine 10 time The Parade Ground, Just
across Park side-ave. from Prospect Park, Is a
cleared and level field OF ample proportions,
which. though now under the jurisdiction OF
Tie Brooklyn Park Commissioner, retains its
original character and is always at the service
OF the regiments. There is. consequently, no
occasion for giving them the freedom OF the
park proper.
The guardsnen are not so conveniently PRO
~ioed for on this side OF the river. though Van
Cortlandt Park is easily accessible, and they
may drill there whenever the military authori-
ces see 1T But even II that were not the case,
we could not agree with the Mayor that they
might properly be admitted 10 Central Park.
lie implies that he IS one OF those who believe
that the parks arc made for the people not the
people for the parks. That IS our belief also but
We do not mean the same thing that be seems
20 mean. We think the parks are made for
al the people-not for the few thousands who
would Ike 20 zee the soldiers parade in them
and would not much care IL the parks were
seriously injured in the process, but for the I'm
rnensely larger number 70 whom, whether they
realize Il not. Il Is vitality important that the
parks should be kept In safety and order. The
Mayor has not fully committed himself 10 the
support Of his own suggestion. and we hone thu,
on further reflection he viii conclude to give No
such countenance or encouragement to those
who are always seeking an excuse for divertinr
the parks 10 unsuitable uses.

The rival armies are evidently getting into
close quarters IN Northwestern Corea The re-
port OF japanese occupation OF Hai-Ju on Sun
day last is not significant Of military operations
for that place is sixty-five miles 10 the south
and 10 the rear Of Ping-Yang and more than
hundred miles TO the rear Of An-Ju and Chong-
Ju, where the japanese advance has come into
touch with the Russians. We are inclined TO
think the report about Hai-Ju refers not to the
advance OF the japanese army, but to that OF
the japanese railroad builders, who are push
Ing work on the line northward from Seoul
with all possible speed. The sixty miles from
Seoul 10 Hai-Ju were long ago surveyed and
the route adopted lies close 70 the shore Hal
Ju being the point at which Il turns and strikes
inland. Ii is entirely probable. then. that il is
an army OF engineers and wOrkmen rather than
Of soldiers that has arrived at tie place in
question.
The little clash at Chong-Ju shows how far
the japanese have pushed forward In force
and also how far south Of the Yalu the Rus
SLAMS are. Chong-Ju is only forty miles from
Wi-Ju on the Yalu River. toward which place
the Russians. defeated at Chong-Ju, are said
20 have retreated. Il seems reasonably safe to
assume, then, that the Russian army is IN
force on the Yalu, and that the detachment
which fought the japanese at Chong-Ju was its
advance guard making a Reconnaissance in
force" SO the japanese army is probably M
P!ng-Yang and An-Ju, and the detachment ut
Chong-Ju was its advance guard. There is
| talk, not confirmed, OF the advance OF n Rus
sian army from the Tumen River. down the
east side Of Corea. We shall believe in such
an expedition when the story is positively con-
| drmcd, but not until IL would he n framen.

CALIFORNIA GIRLS AND POETRY.

California is the land of gold. flowers. oranges
and sunshine, a land where gladness dwells
especially at this season of the year, when as
the poet OF "The San Francisco Bulletin" asks
How can one help but be festive and gay
And turn loose his soul in a glad roundelay.
When the grasses grow green and the bees on
the wing
and over the earth IS the mantle Of SPRING.
But evidently even in California in spring the
air is not always languorous and dreamful, IN
citing to poetry and soulfulness. Professor
Charles Mills Gayley, head of the English de-
partment OF the University OF California, has
unfolded tale very different from that Of the
poet of THE Bulletin" who sings OF benisons
and Of
Soft breezes that slow through the white bios
SONS creep
Sweet lotos wind-spirits that sing one to sleep.
The breezes that were waited into the lecture
room Of Professor Gayley do not seem TO have
been OF that variety. Instead. they. or the new
poetry the professor was expounding to one
hundred young women. set a spirit OF mschiev-
business to work which eliminated, as reported
in these stern words from the professor OF
poetry:
II God Almighty or the Angel Gabriel wrote a

Even with the width OF the continent be-

the faces of one hundred California girls as the

Could the many huge hotels in Manhattan,
Hnished or unfinished. be transported by some
magic spell to the banks OF the Missouri and
opened in time for the rush 10 the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition. all the mutitudes Of visit
ors TO the great show could be provided for not
only in comfort but even In luxury. II is 10 be
feared from the present outlook that at times in
the course OF the Worlds Fair. particularly in
the week Of the Democratic National Conven-
ton, there will be a lack OF hotel accommoda-
tons
Encouraged by the exceeding liberality with
which the United States government has appro-
priated money for the benefit OF the st. Louis
exhibition, the promoters OF the plan 10 hold
big show In commemorate Of the three hun
dredth anniversary Of the settlement Of James
town are talking OF an appeal to Congress for
an appropriation OF 100000 from the federal
treasury. Is IT reasonable to ask for so large n
sunni May ii not be prudent to wait until the
fair in St Louis is ended and its accounts all
settled2 Congress has been extravagantly gen
erous 10 exhibitions which, as a rule, have been
failures financially. There were Buffalo and
Omaha, for instance; and other municipalities
North and South. might be mentioned. How
can an international exposition in Virginia pos
sibly secure profitable daily attendance? Even
the national capital would not probably furnish
visitors enough TO make such exhibition pay.
With all the good will in the world. the chief
cities OF the North and East would never send
vast throngs of sightseers to a jamestown cele-
bration, and the West cannot be counted upon
for extensive support The jamestown project
therefore, docs not look as II IL would achieve
