Lincoln Park for the Memorial.

10 The Editor or he STAR:
The art commission appointed by the
President has reported that the site sug-
gested by some of our citizens on the
Union station plaza for the Lincoln me-
mortal would be an artistic misfortune.
In this. I, as citizen Of Washington,
heartily agree, but understand tho COM
mission has recommended that the me
mortal be placed somewhere near the
Washington Monument, or at least In that
section Of the city. I must take issue
with the commission, and say that, in my
opinion, there is no spot in the District so
suitable or appropriate for the location
of the Lincoln memorial as our present
small but beautiful Lincoln Park, 18th and
East Capitol streets. The present statue
there is not a fitting memorial. 1t is so
small that it can scarcely be seen a block
without glasses. l would suggest that it
be moved to cover along with the statue
of Washington. which was located for so
many years at the east front of our ma
tional Capitol. and that a memorial that
would be fitting tribute to the name and
memory of Abraham Lincoln be erected in
its place.
If we are to look forward and plan an
even balanced and harmonious city for
those that are to come, then let it not be
said by those that are to come that we
who are here now were nearSighted in the
proper distribution of our statuary, parks
and public buildings, Lincoln Park would
! act as a sort of balance to our Washington
| Monument on the west, and in direct line
with the Capitol. For thirty-five years
I have longed, watched and waited to see
| East Washington get something OF men,
| ton, but up to the present, l am sorry to
| say that / have almost waited in vain.
| The old Goddess of Liberty must be very
weary by this time looking at the Wash
ington Jail and the smallpox hospital
There is scarcely anything she can look at
of a historical nature since the Washing
ton statue in its nakedness has been re-
moved.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. February
22.-Alton B. Parker of New York was
the principal speaker at the Washington's
birthday celebration at the University
of Virginia today. The exercises were
held in Cabell Hall. Dean Lille of the
law department presided.
Mr.. Parkers theme was the life and
character of Washington After review
ing Washington's military services and
tracing the formation Of stable govern
ment under his presidency, he discussed
address to the officers and the farewell
address.
"Latterly the cry Of commercial adj
vantage and OF the necessity of protecting
an extended commerce-in other words.
those resulting effects of our situation
and our opportunities which he foresaw."
Mr.. Parker said, have made it very
much the fashion to say that this doctrine
is antquated.
Expresses Hope.
For the future peace, security and
happiness Of the people of these United
States, let us hope that this view may
not prevail. We have heard Iatterly that
We are a world power and must assume
our position as such; that we cannot
neglect the alleged duty which is said
to be thrust upon us by our acquired
prominence among the nations. The argu-
ment is specious; it's end is destruction. 1t
| makes in the last analysis merely for the
ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the few, to the ulti-
mate misery of the many. 1t was fore
seen and against it he has warned us.
He tells us of the folly in one nation of
looking for disinterested favors from an
other, characterizing it as an illusion
| which experience must cure and which a
just pride ought to discard
Steer Clear of Alliance.
"This, in relation to our commercial
foreign policy and to our political foreign
policy, bids us steer clear of permanent
alliance with any portion of the foreign
world.
1T would not do on this occasion to
deal In controversy, but here arises the
contrast of our treatment Of Cuba and
our treatment of the Philippine Islands.
1t seems as though, forgetting these words
of counsel and advice, we have been sway
ed. not by those high precepts. which he
besought us to be governed by, but by
self-interest, producing in the two cases
the dissimilar results. If SO. be assured
that there will come for us q day of
reckoning

With view to increasing the lumber

steps to remove difficulties in unloading
lumber from boats here. about which ship

The Ryland & Brooks Lumber Company
OF Baltimore wrote the District Comms
sioners that they had lately been sending
lumber in vessels to Washington and had
had difficulty In finding available wharves
and also that there had been delay in the
inspection of their lumber.
Upon receipt of the complaint Com
missioner Mcfarland asked the sealer of
weights and measures, w. c. Haskell.
who has charge of the inspection of lum-
Der, about the matter and was informed
that two of the three lumber inspectors
were ill. In view of the Baltimore COM
munication, the first complaint TO be re-
ceived, he said he would appoint two tenn
porary inspectors.
AS the inspectors are paid only by fees
and there is not enough work to afford
cult to secure and keep such inspectors
But to meet the present emergency two
temporary inspectors will be appointed
Although the District government cannot
officially provide wharfage facilities for
the Baltimore lumbernfen. Col. Haskell.
the sealer, at Commissioner Macfarland s
suggestion, has ascertained where ade-
uuate wharfage facilities can be had and
the Baltimore concern will be notified 60

1.-The supply of fish for next week. the
last period of the Lenten season. a deal
er in marine products remarked, will de-
pend entirely on which way the wind
blows"
Declaring there is truth in the saying
when the wind blows east the fish bite
least" the dealer added. the prospects
for better supply of fish next week are
bright. Shad have been more plentiful
than herring thus far this season, 1t was
explained, but herring will unquestlon-
ably arrive in much larger numbers in the
near future and prices will then be cheap
err. Those who do not care for Shad or
herring. he explained, will have no trouble
selecting from the many other varieties OF
fish, and If fish do not suit them they
may have soft crabs or Holsters.
There is no question that the supply of
marine products next week will be more
than sufficient to supply the large de-
mand. Products of the Potomac include
roe and melt shad, herring. rock, catfish,
white and yellow perch and cells. the law
having closed the bass season yesterday
in order to give the fish ample time for
spawning at the headwaters of the river
Then there are all kinds of fish from salt
water Halibut. salmon. cod. trout, blue
fish and other varieties and dealers say
| the prices asked for them are about the
same as usual at this season.
Shad and other Fish.
Shad were quoted this morning at from
10 cents to 81 each, the prices having been
made trifle higher by the windy weather
along the lower river. Shad roe is to be
| had at from 80 to 40 cents set. Her
| ring are large and firm, the early run
being considered better than those caught
| later on. They are retailing at six for
| % cents. Rock from the lower Potomac
| are about as fine as dealers have ever
seen. and 20 cents a pound is the price
asked. Some fine white perch are also
| being caught In the big nets, and dealers
| find 1t an easy matter to dispose of them
| at Is cents a pound.
| Yellow perch are not very large and
there is no demand Catfish are in de-
mand at the rate OF two pounds for 20
| cents, while dealers are unable TO get
| sufficient sturgeon to supply the demand
| at 20 and 25 cents a pound. Salmon steaks
at 20 and Is cents a pound. halibut at 70
cents and cod at IS cents are the leading
| fish from salt water.
| Soft crabs, not very large. are being re-
| ceived from North Carolina and are SELL
| ing at 81 dozen-regarded as remarka-
| bly, cheap price for the first of the sea-
son. 1t is stated that the early ship
| ments of such shellfish usually sell as
| high as So and $3.50 dozen.

~ gold. There is about one foot Of
pay ore in the ledge. The lead has
been traced for some distance and
while it does not indicate values all
along as high as the assay given, it
prospects good.
Mr.. Miller, who is interested in the
Wall Street Nevada group, is expected
to arrive in a few days and will
shortly commence on this group. A
ledge between Ave and six feet in width
and carrying values as high as $50 IN
gold and 80 per cent in copper makes
this proposition seem a good one and il
is to be hoped that the plans contem'
plated by the officers of this company
may be carried out. Charles Everson

holder in the company, is now in camp
