get away. The work of the commits
tee ON historic sites has been faith
fully and effectively done so far, and
those interested in it will no doubt
continue to gather, sift and classify
the results of their labor until it will
be almost possible to reconstruct the
Washington of other periods.
There are hundreds of buildings
and sites of buildings in Washing
ton Of such historic interest and i'm
portance as entities them to be
marked with appropriate, permanent
tablets. The bronze tablets on the
site of the Blaine house and on the
walls of the. Decatur house, the Co.'S
mos Club and on what remains of
the old Capitol are interesting, give
valuable and exact information and
lead many persons to a better under
standing and appreciation of Wash
ington. The number of these his
toric markers should be multiplied.
The permanent and proper marking
of historic sites is more and more
engaging the interest Of historical
and patriotic societies in Boston, New
York and Philadelphia, and this
should also be the fact in Washing
ton.

Protection Of the Crowds.

Police arrangements for the pro-
lection of the great crowd of stran-
gers, the large body Of home folk
and the fair name of the city have
worked smoothly at the beginning,
and although there is phrase that
"A good beginning makes a bad end
ing" there is another and a better
phrase which is, well begun. half
done" No doubt the police arrange
ments will work smoothly and well
until the end of the encampment. The
regular police department is having
the active cooperation of several
hundred Washington business and
professional men who were sworn in
as special policemen few evenings
ago. This combination of local vet
eran and volunteer police is rein
forced by detectives from other
cities. There are details of squad
of detectives from New York, Phila-
delphia and Baltimore, and the police
departments of large number OF
other cities are represented at the
encampment.

The fields of the FIRST and second
battles of Bull Run are the nearest
to Washington of the important civil
war battlehelds, and the long pending
plan to convert the more historic and
tragic sections Of those fields into
national battlefield park is of inter-
est to Washington. The question has
been under discussion for a good
many years, and though no active
opposition has been made to the
project it has not yet been accom-
plished, though the friends of the
movement remain hopeful. A board
of three army officers was designated
by the War Department to. make an
investigation Of the whole subject
and an examination of the ground
and the report of the board was
favorable. 1t recommended that 243
acres be constituted a national bat
tleheld park. The matter has not yet
received the sanction of Congress.

Precautions Against Fires.

The precautions taken by the FIRE
department for the safety of Camp
Emery carry the suggestion that pre-
cautions of somewhat similar char
acter may well be taken throughout
the city. Masses of bunting and
other decorations, Examinations, thou
sands of new electric lights and miles
of newly installed wire, crowds, hi
1arity and excitement constitute a
combination which increases the FIRE
risk. Carelessness with the match
the cigarette or cigar, hot pipe ashes
and defective electric wiring are the
common causes of fires. and one OF
the watchwords during the encamp-
ment should be caution"

The President and the Primary.

The President is entitled to word
of praise for his trip home to vote
in yesterdays primaries. He had his
hands full here. Business of his Of
fee was pressing, and on his card
was an appointment to address the
Grand Army of the Republic in the
evening. He might have let the cleo
ton slide, and been excused. But he
hustled to discharge his duty as a
citizen, made a railroad trip, and
kept his appointment here, too. He
set an excellent example to all his
countrymen.
This spirit, however, was not mani
tested in New Jersey. Report says
the vote was light. No excuse ex-
listed as to the weather. That was
good. Two things were calling to
the polls: (1) nominating candidates
for the legislature to be voted for
later, and (2) registering for a spe-
cial election to be held on October
10 to pass upon the question of suf-
frage for women. But many quail
fed voters shirked. Other things &C.
cupied their time. A minority made
the nominations, and will decide. the
question of suffrage for women at
the special election.
This Sinking on primary day-not
confined to New JERSEYS a very
serious matter. and engages wide at
tention. Primaries were the means
adopted to take nominations and
elections out of few hands and COM
NIT them to the many. Complaint
was well established that bosses and
their machines were running the
country. A comparatively few men
were masters, picking candidates, and
later controlling those elected. We
had fallen, it was charged, on gov
eminent by the few for the few; that
the majority had no say in affairs.
But the primaries have not cor
rected the evil. They have not
brought what was promised and
vowed in their name. The majority
of voters neglect the opportunities
afforded them. They do not take the
trouble to exercise the right of say
as to nominations. AS a result, boss
es are still in evidence, and ma
chimes still we'll fabricated and in
service. If we may believe stories
from some of the states, Doodle is
as great a power as ever, and easily
collected.
The next step is awaited with curl
osity. Presumably there will be a
next step. Matters as they stand are
thoroughly unsatisfactory. In no
state where tried have the primaries
fulfilled promise. In some states they
have seemed to make bad conditions
worse. A return to undisguised boss
rule is neither likely nor desirable,
but how to perfect the primary sys-
tenn, or provide better, is ques-
ton.

Civil War Defenses Of Washington.

Some of the features of the en-
virons of Washington which would
be attractive to the visiting veterans,
but which will be denied the great
majority because of the difficulty in
reaching them, are the remains OF
the civil war defenses Of the Ma
tional Capital OF all the relics of
its kind the fragment of Fort Mas
sachusetts, later named Fort Stevens,
is perhaps the most accessible to a
large number of visitors, and crowds
of men who wore the blue will stand
on the parapet there and look over
the field where Union troops Skin
mished with the advance of Jubaf A.
Early in July, 1864. Fort de Russy,
about thousand yards west of Fort
Stevens, but longer distance than
that by the road, and the next link
westward of Stevens in the Gordon
of forts, is fortunately within Rock
Creek Park, has been measurably
preserved and has been put in shape
for the inspection of the veterans.
Fort Slocum, the next link to Fort
Stevens on the eastward, has disap-
peared. Fort Totten, the next to the
east of Slocum, may be traced; the
next to the east-Fort S1emmer-has
disappeared, and of those next in
order eastward to the Eastern
branch-Forts Bunker Hill, Saratoga,
Thayer and Lincoln and its addition,
Battery Jameson, remains may be
found.
= Westward from De Russy-Forts
Kearny, Reno, Simmons, Bayard,
Gaines, Mansfield and Sumner "a
man will be fortunate to find traces
of the old earthworks except in the
cases of Gaines and Sumner.
The Eastern branch forts-Mahan,
Chaplin, Meigs, Dupont, Davis, Baker,
Wagner, Ricketts,, Stanton, Snyder,
Carroll and Greble-have nearly all
been leveled, though mounds and
bitches still mark where Meigs, Du-
pont, Ricketts,, Stanton and Carroll
stood, and generally the sites OF the
other forts have not been closely
bulk on and in some cases have not
been built on at all. = -
1t is on the Virginia side, from the
ruins Of Fort Marcy and Ethan Allen
above Chain bridge to the forts south
of Cameron run-Lyon, Weed,
ORorke and Willard-that one finds
the best preserved remains of Wash
ington's civil war earthworks.
In an editorial in The Star Sep
TENDER 70, 1892, welcoming the G. A.
K. to Washington, it was said:
an revisiting the sites of the ex-
tensive and costly Notifications which
were constructed about Washington
the veteran will find that the in
fiuences of peace have almost entire
iy conquered the formidable arma-
ment of war. The rain and the wind
have crumbled the threatening piles
OF earth, nature has grown over the
signs of mans preparation for mortal
combat a mantle of grass and vines,
shrubs and bushes, and if the sword
has not been beaten into the plow-
share, at least the woodwork of grim
" menacing forts has been converted
into hrewood or the building ma
terial of negro shanties. Upon the
very spot occupied some thirty years
ago by cannon the unconscious
picnicking party may lunch with
merrymaking."
What great thing now would be
the preservation of these old fort
sites as national memorial parks and
their connection by means of fort
drive-a useful and sentimental pro-
posal which The Star has urged for
many years.
