If the women of England keep up the
fight they will get the franchise, and
the men of England will get at least a
part Of what has been coming to them
for some time.

The Count Boni de Castellane Ii
habitually identified as the divorced
husband Of Nine. Anna Gould" This
seems hard on the titled husbands Of
American millions who fondly imagine
they were giving prestige in return for
those same millions.

1t Is to be regretted that the stay OF
the Pacific feet at Rio Janeiro should
have been marred by conflicts between
the sailors and the roughs on shore, but
the strong waters Of Brazil are quite
as effective as those of other lands,
and Admiral Evans is not the superin-
tendent of Sunday school.

The grip is no respecter OF persons,
and that works both ways, for nobody
respects the grip.

VIEWS OF PEOPLE EONMANY TOPICS
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT IT?

upon the rightful place OF a worthy pub
lie servant in the affection Of all good
citizens"
Indiana, always patriotic, by proclama-
ton OF its governor. not only closed for
the day all offices In the Statehouse, but
recommended the closing for the day Of
all public Offices In the State. and lowered
to half-mast the flag above the capitol
dome for thirty days. In respect TO the
memory OF President Grover Cleveland.
But in Washington the day passed with
out any official notice OF the death and
burial OF the once Chief Magistrate OF the
nation. save in gun salutes at sunrise
and sunset, and flags flying at half-mast
from public buildings, by the order Of the
President
The nations former great President-the
one person chosen by the people from
the many millions OF citizens 10 steer for
awhile the ship of state for the general
welfare, placing In his hands the greatest
power. that for the peace OF the world,
personifying the sovereignty Of the ma
tion-dies. is buried and with no other
observance than In the case Of an Ordi-
nary citizen.
Is IL want OF patrlotlsm2 Would the
nation have been better served in clos
ing all public Offices, and turning out for
a day half day. an hour. the whole otfi-
clal family 10 do as II might see flt? In
studying these questions the reasons
might be found for the law-section Of
act Of March 3, 1S93-as follows: That
hereafter the executive departments shall
not be closed as a mark TO the memory
Of any deceased ex-ofiicial OF The United
States" That is a good law.
In our form Of government many are
the ex-officlals, many annually die, and
without such law public Office would many
days or half-dsys be closed in their mem
ory But Presidents are more than ex-
officials. In them rested the exercise of
the sovereign power of the nati0n-the
highest office. and OF exalted pre-emi-
nence. The question Is whether the law
should have excluded the ex-Presidents
from the class of ex-ofIlcials Undoubt-
edly, II should. If, however. the ques-
ton Of economy arises, let the wheels OF
the machinery of government halt for
one hour-the funeral hour. 1t Is be-
lieved IL would be of greater effect In
patriotic endeavor and mold. than stop
page for a whole day or a halliday.
The law would also well serve the pur-
pose of economy, and politics, for that.
as well as purposes Of patriotism, 10
prohibit closing public Office as a mark
OF honor, or memory, or respect. In the
case of the death Of an incumbent, eX-
cept for the funeral hour, in all cases
except the Chief Magistrate. The law
now excuses hundreds, sometimes thou
sands, for a whole day, or a halliday.
In the event Of the death Of a public
officer, sometimes only a bureau chief.
not known outside Of Washington and
in a majority Of cases little outside Of
office, and even by many unknown In
office. and the day or part OF the day is
not spent IN usefulness by AL.

Reply to Mr.. Swartwout.
Editor The Washington Herald

Editor The Washington Herald:
Being a constant reader Of your paper
I cannot refrain from expressing my high
appreciation Of tits manifold merits. The
high standard Of excellence which The
Washington Herald has attained not only
measures up to the best journals In the
United States, but the same stands head
and shoulders above that of any other
newspaper published in this section of the
country.
/ was. however, panied TO find in the
issue OF June % an article by Mr A. l..
Swartwout on "Reviving Forgotten
Days" In this article Mr.. Swartwout.
after critlclslng the remarks made by
some Of the speakers at the recent memo
rial services over the graves of Confed-
crate soldiers in Arlington Cemetery
claiming that said remarks tend 10 revive
the spirit OF sectional animosity. proceeds
forthwith to arraign the South for its dis
loyalty to the Union. and for the cruelty
inflicted upon its prisoners of war. Among
other drastic things about the South he
says: When we think of Andersonville
with its eruelties, with its 1900 victims
who lie buried there, our hearts grow
sick"
The truth Of the matter is. Mr.. Swart.

in which Il was started, viz, the Execu-
tive Mansion surrounded by it's depart
ments. Then that eyesore 10 every Wis
itor, the vacant LOT az the corner OF the
Belasco Theater, with a block OF stone
that looks like neglected tomb, ought
10 become n Department OF Justice, an
nexing, II needed, the Arlington Fire In
surance premises. The State Department
would find an appropriate home in the
old Corcoran Gallery. to which could
be added the lot on Seventeenth street,
which. in this case, could be acquired by
purchase as 1t would not interfere with
the narrow-minded legacy clause which
prevented the gallery from acquiring 1t
and forced IL to move.
The Hall of Records could be located
in the block now destined for a cimbina-
ton of State. Justice. and Commerce. a
mixture that will always detract from
the Importance of the State Department,
which since this country existed has al
ways been annexed to something else,
knocked from pillar TO post like a sub
merged tench:- yet II is In all countries

Mansion and is also provided with ade-
quate means for entertaining the whole
diplomatic corps when required. Let us
pray no more Mysteries viii prevent the
gradual fulfilling OF the original plan.

its accuracy could be considered until

by Mr.. Moore that the district delegates.

Editor The Washington Herald:
A few days ago you published a very
able letter, stating that our improvements
are suddenly started. without a definite
plan. and then abandoned, to our regret
and cost. Nothing could be more correct.
few years ago a hysterical At took hold

motives. A Hall Of Records was needed:
II was more than urgent; Congress was
appealed to for the necessary funds; all

future, BY what authority has It been
decided to use these stone columns thus?
Who has been consulted? Has ii ever
