LOCAL WAR NEWS OF
FIFTY YEARS AGO.

The Newark Daily Advertiser. now
the STAR, on July rs, 1851, published
the following:
Major Kesrney Brigadier-GenersI.
We learn with great pleasure that
Major Philip Kearney, of East New
ark. has been appointed a %brigadier-
general in the national army and that
he will probably be placed in command
of the forces from New Jersey-a posi-
ton for which he is eminently fitted by
past education, well-tried experience
and complete sympathy in the cause.
General Kearney was formerly a
brevet major of the~Second Dragons
and won high distinction by his gal
liant service in the Mexican War, in
which he lost an arm. Not
withstanding the loss of his arm, he is
still able and ready to do service. With
such men as Mcclellan and Kearney to
command and lead, no fear need be felt
for any such retreat or disaster as be-
fell our army at Bulls Run.

TWO NEW OPERAS
At METROPOLITAN
Prof. Parker's "M0na' and Gi0r.
danO's "Mme. Sans Gene"
Will Be Offered.

NEW YORK, July so.-Giulio CATH
Casazza, the director of the Metro
politan Opera Company, has practically
settled his plans for the next season at
that house. The three principal novel
ties will be Professor Parker's Mona
Giordano's Mime. Sans-Gene" and
Wolf-Ferrarl's lie Dome Curiose.'
The revival of 1.-The Magic Flute" will
not be attempted this year because
Frieda Hempel. who would sing the
Queen of the Night, has again post
poned her visit.
Professor Parker's "Mona" is the
opera which won the 10000 prize in
the Metropolitan's opera contest. II
will be given at the Metropolitan for
the first time on any stage. 1t Is Ike
ly that the title part will be assigned
to Nine. Fremstad.
Giordano's setting of Sardou's Mime.
Sans-Gene' is also to see the light
here for the first time, and in the COM
poser's presence. In the cast will BIO
Miss Geraldine Farrar, who, of course,
will a the part of the washer
woman-duchess, and Enrico Caruso,
who seems to be destined to play Ma
poleon.
lie Dome Curiose'' has been given
in Munich n other cities, but it Is a
virtual novelty.
Another possibility for the season is
"Versiegelt," a one-act opera by Leo
Blech, n of the conductors at the
Royal Opera at Berlin.
Pavlowa and Mordkin will not dance
at the Metropolitan Opera House this
season. They will be supplanted, for
the BAL at least, by the Russian or
~ganization, to which they originally
belonged and which is giving perform
ances at Covent Garden, London, now.
Stalls for the opera nights cost q
guinea in London, but when the Rus
slams dance the stalls are raised to 30s.
In spite of this their success has been
SO enormous that they are dancing
three and four times a week, giving u
complete program by themselves.

EDITORIAL COMMENT ON
AUTOMOBILE RECIPROCITY
How Others Regard jerseys
Attitude on Question.

The New York Times prints the fol-
lowing editorial today:
New Jerseys commissioner of
motor vehicles is considerably
more ingenious than ingenious
in explaining why he has or
dered that no more eight-day licenses
for 81 each be issued 10 New York
automobilists, but that the latter be
compelled, If they wish to enter his
State for even an afternoons ride, to
a k out a regular annual license at
the price paid by it's own residents,
which is SO, IS or $40, according to the
horsepower of the machine used. He
has done this, the commissioner says,
because the New York Legislature adj
Journed without taking m action
toward giving New Jersey AUTOMOBILE
lists the e~ight-day privilege which New
Jersey has accorded ours.
This failure to ~reciprocate.'' as the
commissioner calls it, does supply an
excuse, and even a reason, for retalia-
ton, as he states the case, but the
statement is inaccurate because of in
completeness. What New York very
properly refused to do was, not to
grant favors equal to those received,
but to ~countenance, by initiating, New
jerseys short-sighted policy of ex-
torting petty fees from visiting auto
mobilists from other States. All that
New York requires from such visitors
lis that they shall be licensed in their
own States-and that their own States
shall be equally generous.
Almost alone in the whole country
and quite alone in this part of it, New
Jersey has held back from this neigh
borly and friendly arrangement anc
insisted on exercising her right to col
lect money from everybody who wore
out her roads by riding ver them. The
right Is unquestionable, but its exer'
else, like that of many other rights, i:
not the more j%udicious on that &C
count, and talk about refusals to re-
ciprocate comes with ill-grace from 6
State that lags behind other States II
the interchange of privileges. Natu'
rally, while she does so, her citizens
whenever they cross her borders, will
encounter determinations not imposed
upon anybody else. and, as naturally
those of her citizens who stay at hom'
will find that by reaching after thai
one eight-day dollar the many dollar!
which stranger au~tomobilists woulc
pay if treated more gently are los
to them.
This fact weighs heavily on the
minds of those Jerseymen who catel
directly to acknowledgements trade, blu
the others, whom that trade profits
only Indirectly, as yet ignore 1t. The,
will doubtless see the light in time

Too Many stray Dogs

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
1t grieves me to see the large num-
Der of stray dogs running loose in our
streets. Being a doctor in a thickly
populated neighborhood I may say that
| treat from five to twenty dog bites
every week, most of them on small
children. There is a law which says
that all dogs at large on the streets
must have a collar on, but who sees
hat the law is enforced? There is a
S. p. C. A., but they have only one
wagon and pick up about ten dogs a
day. To clear this city of his dam
gerou menace it would take about
1--WE wagons on the job all the time.

SELECT POTOMAC PARK
FOR LINCOLN MONUMENT.

WASHINGTON, July 2e.-As a site
for the proposed Lincoln Memorial, the
Commission on Fine Arts. which sub
mitted it's report to the Lincoln Memo
rial Commission yesterday, has selected
Potomac Park, the government park
reservation to the south Of the Wash
ington Monument, which has been de-
veloped during the past administration.
The commission held that the erec-
ton of a memorial of sufficient grand
eur and beauty to be a fitting memorial
to a man like Lincoln could not salts
factorily be placed near the Capitol,
as it would have to be In some n of
the converging toward the
Capitol dome, which would obstruct
the vista from each of these broad
to the Capitol and detract
from a complete appreciation of both
the memorial and the Capitol.
Congress has appropriated $4,000. 900
for this memorial, a larger sum than
has ever been appropriated for a SINH
lar work.

STILL AN UNDEMOCRAT1C IDEA.

IT'D EPUBLICAN Passaic joins Republican Trenton in accepting
INN the plan of elecing five men to administer all the affairs of
a city. Against these two, which have adopted the Walsh
commission act, stand four Democratic communites-Jerse City,
Hoboken, Bayonne and New Brunswick. One plain inference
occurs-that where the popular cry is anything for a change
it is not Democratic party rule from which the change is
sought. In a special fortress of the Progressive faction
such as Passaic is the victory of the commission idea by
1892 votes to 861, or more than two to one, is not surprising.
All the local conditions were in favor of the new departure.
There had been proven graft in the City Council; the commission
advocates did some strenuous campaigning while the "ants" were
apathetic, and an isolated ruling by the ctys legal adviser put
Yesterdays election under the Geran law, with it's wide oppor-
tunities for eliminating the illiterate vote. The approximately
1900 citizens of Passaic who have shelved representative govern
ment have from now until the next time the city needs to borrow
money TO do their rejoicing. When that day comes they may find
that the doubtful legality of yesterdays proceedings has put their
ctys credit on the same shelf.

When WIN They stars.

TO the Editor of the Evening Star;
Market street will be paved with
bitulithic." That's what ! have been
reading and hearing for the past week.
But / heard no remarks about when II
will be paved. Is 1t possible that after
the matter has been held UP SO ipiig
that it will be delayed still further?
Why don't the authorities get busy and
have the work started? 1t will take a
long time to complete the job, and the
people are pretty well Disguised over
the delinquency already shown in the
matter. RALPH J.. ROLF.

No War In sight.

No War In Sight.
To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
1t always amuses me to read the
serious way in which the newspapers
speak about the probable wal between
Japan and the United States. 1t will
take japan many years to recover
from its war with Russia, and be-
sides, a war with us would be a far
different proposition. and, what is
more, the Japanese know it. In the
start we might have to give up the
Philippines, but we would soon re-
cover them.
1t would require an enormous sum
of money to carry on a war with the
United States and Japan has borrowed
about all she can, while our
are almost inexhaustible.
W. are at peace with the world
and there is no doubt that the Uni
ted States of the day is practically
invincible. No country in the world
could go to war with us today and
live to be a country at its conclusion.

Scouts Trouble Idea.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
A ~well-educated Japanese, a New
York merchant, who recently returned
from a ffteen-month visit to his
native land, scouts the idea that there
is likely to be any trouble, let alone
a war between the United States and
Japan.
In speaking of the situation he says:
"A couple of years ago there was a
considerable element in Japan that
was anti-American and were endeav-
oring to cause trouble between the two
nations. The more conservative per-
sons have gradually squelched the ag-
itators and at the present time moth
ing but the kindest words for the Uni
ted States are heard in Japan"

!. THE MOSQUITO A STATE QUESTION.

eN HAT complacent gentleman, State Entomologst Smith, is
better satisfied with the mosquito situation in this State
than all the rest of us. And he is evidently obsessed with
his idea of popular education as a reliance for mosquito exterml-
nation. The idea of the average citizen is that the education
should begin with the members of the Legislature. In many parts
of the State the mosquito pest is worse this year than in any
former year. In municipalities where every effort has been made
to destroy the breedingtplaces the pest is almost uncomfortable. The
injury to suburban property interests by mosquitoes this year alone
is greater than would be the cost to the State of DISCRIMINATING
the mosquito. The question is Statewide, and one OF State policy,
for the mosquito has no metes and bounds-he is universal in the
State. And there will never be relief until the State takes hold
of the question and deals with t in a comprehensive way.

SAY BLOOD is HEAL THEIR
ON MOUNTAIN THAN SHORE

COLORADO SPRINGS, July 2s.-Red
corpuscles in the blood are 40 per cent.
greater at this altitude than at sea
level. This is an indication Of purer
blood In high attitudes than at sea
level.
Red corpuscles are the oxysen-carry-
ing agencies Of the blood and, because
oxygen is a purifier. it necessarily
shows hat the greater the number OF
red corpuscles in the veins the greater
the purity of the blood n the greater
its disease-repelling power.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
We have a mosquito determination
commission and | would now suggest
hat we have a night noise extermina-
ton commission for this city. Such a
commission would find plenty to do.
Some time could be wisely expended in
the suppression of the noise made
during the greater part of the night
by wild autoists and wilder motor
cyclists, while in certain sections of
the city the monotonous drumming of
the player-piano could be suppressed
with profit to the community.
At this season of the year particu-
larly, when bedroom windows are kept
open during the night, the noisemaker
must be suppressed. B. B.

BIGGER AND BIGGER SHIPS.

IN N announcement that the biggest steamship afoat is to be
F\ built does not mean much in these days, for, as with the
fighting dreadnoughts, it will be true for a short time only
Scarcely had people digested the promise of the 5O,OO0ton i'm
perator, of the Hamburg American line, when there came the news
that the Cunard Company had changed its plans so as to make the
Aquitania, now building at %Clydebank, 900 and odd feet long, or
about ten feet longer than the Imperator. The Aquitania is to
accommodate 1000 passengers and to steam twenty-three knots AN
hour. Lord Pirrie, chairman of the Harland q Wolff Company, Bel
fast shipbuiders, who is on a visit to this country, says that there
is no limit to the size of steamships except the dock facilities, and
this mark has been about reached. Otherwise the suggestion of
golf links on board the transatlantic liner of the future, which
some wag has made, might not be such an absurdity, after all.

THE OUTGOING OF SECRETARY WILSON

@ NE outcome of the concerted attempt to get DR.. Wiley, the
w national food expert, dismissed from office will doubtless
be the forced resignation of Secretary Wilson, of the agri-
cultural department, who has been a piece of putty in the hands
OF crafty subordinates in league with food and drug fakirs. The
secretary is also mixed up in the Controller bay scandal, for his
department recommended the elimination of 800 acres of the gov
eminent land at Controller bay from the government reserve to
be snapped up by Ryan for the GuggenheimM Morgan interests. Evil
IDENTIFY Secretary Wilson was not retained in Office by the special
interests that dictated Taf's cabinet appointments without knowl-
edge that he would prove useful for their objects. He abetted the
Controller bay steal, and he has done what he could to hamper the
work of the food expert, Wiley, in carrying out the pure food and
drug laws.

DepIores failing of Thief-killer.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
An account in your paper states that
a waiter who killed a man who had
attempted to rob his employer was
held without bail on a charge of
manslaughter. Now this may be all
right from a technical law point, but
was not the waiter justified? What
was he to do in order to catch a mar
who it Is later learned has been sought
by the police for almost two years on
a similar charge?
What puzzles me is this, how long
will the waiter have to remain in jail
before he gets a trial? When he does
get his trial will he have to plead
guilty to a charge of m~anslaughter, be-
cause in his endeavor to overtake
a thief he threw a brick which no
doubt was the cause of the mans
death? l would be pleased to hear
some versions in this column why this
man should be made to remain in Jail
when he has really liberated the COM
munity from a thief. JUSTICE.

A TRIP THAT CONGRESS NIGHT TAKE.

IT T would pay this nation handsomely to hire sumptuous steam
ships, fill them with congressman and others in authority who
obstnately stand in the way of government aid to the merchant
marine and send them On a pleasure trip around the world. The
yoyagers would be sure to come back with enlarged ideas of ma
tional policy and changed views as to ocean subsidies. Going from
port to port over stretches of thousands of miles they would be-
hold every national flag save only the Stars and Stripes. They
would look in vain in the crowd of shipping in a busy port for their
own national emblem. Could that lesson fail to be impressed on
the mind of any rational man, however much committed he might
be to opposition TO a governmentaided merchant marine? He would
be told that the steamships flying foreign flags that he saw pass
in long professions were all more or less subsidized by their gov
ernments. he would find in foreign ports among the merchandise
transported American goods carriedain British, German and other
bottoms. If Congress took the trip around the world and if it's
members came back and consulted only the nations interests they
would infalibly vote to pass a bill to revive our ocean commerce
by establishing American steamship lines with important foreign
p0xts. ---> ---

How About Telephone Tolls.

The Public Utility Commission, which
is just now having it's measure taken
by the public, has power to do many
things on its own initiative without
any complaint being made. There is
no doubt that the whole telephone
situation as regards the numerous
varieties of rates charged needs over
hauling. In some zones where there is
no extra toll beyond the regularly
monthly charge there is an extra
charge If the call happens to be to a
party on the outskirts of a community,
even though the party is obtained from
the same central switch without any
additional expense being involved.

A BATTLE WE SHOULD FORGET.

cTN HERE was no national enthusiasm over the ffheth anniver!
sary of the first battle of Bull Run, and there was no cause
for any. The event of that battle is an event to forget, not
to commemorate. A nation utterly unprepared for war and
ignorant of the art of warfare, suddenly divided, assembled I'M
disciplined hosts, and a mob fight ensued, 1t was not a battle.
Bull Run brought ridcule upon the American name, that was,
however, atoned for afterwards by many desperate and welfought
battles. 1t would be well if the name could be exppnged from the
national records.
