4 THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON “PROSBY 8S. NOYES. ‘Whe Evening Star has a reaular, permanent. s@oua fae dailv circulation more than treble “that of any other daily paper published in Washington, and equal te that of ail the ether daily papers here added toaether. ‘Tur Sram office is . Advertisement connected with the Telephone Ex- change. tx, orders for the paper by mail and otherwise, news, or any information or business ean be sent day or nixht, free of charge. “The Best is Alwnys the Cheapest.” ‘Those who have holiday or other goods to sell, ‘and those who wish to make any fact or want uknown to the public, should bear the above fact in «mind, and remember that THE EVENING STAR goes into more homes, houses, factories, stores, shops, ‘Offices, and places of business, and fs read every ‘Gay by more people, than all the other daily papers oan Washington added togetner. +02 A Dally Eight Page Star. “The unprecedented pressure of advertising upon ‘ho columns of Tar Star necessitates the tssue, at ‘east for the present, of an eight page paper (@emiy. Saturday's paper contained 188 new ad- ‘wwortisements—the largest number ever printed in smatngie issue—twenty-nine columns in all, which ‘ag gust one column more of advertisements than @ s@tggie or four page issue could contain, thus leav- ‘fggmo room, whatever, for reading matter. ae Better Investigate Openly. “He Treasury contingent fund investigating @@ummittce have resisted all arguments ‘@e maintain strict secresy as to all pro- meetings. They state, however, that ultimately saG8the testimony will be printed and given to the Walic. The committee's chief reason for a secret ‘fmwestigation is said to be their desire to prevent wpgury to the character of any person by ex parte viemtimony. If any witness testifies to that which vigaplivates any person, great or small, in the al- aged crooked transactions, which the committee sage inquiring tnto, the latter want to have that ‘@estimony substantiated or disproved, or, in other ‘words, luave the case made up when It goes to the gpedlic. The motive of the committee is a good «ame, but it is questionable if they are proceeding wapena wise plan. Should there be witnesses, or even one witness, called before the committee, Pho maliciously desires to reflect upon some ver- agen, by coloring his testimony, that witness will not, s@e scrupulous about concealing his testimony from the press. He is more likely to take pains to let ‘the pavers get hold of such of his testimony as the committee are anxious to keep secret. Besides ‘this, {t ls almost tmpossible to conduct an investi- gation here in Washington, where there are 80 many energetic reporters, with entire secrecy. Whatever ts brought out by the committee of a @amaging character is quite likely to leak out ‘through some channel, and the chances are that it wwill reach the public in an exaggerated or dis- ‘terted form. The American public is an intelle- gent jury, and {fs able to separate the truth ®from falsehood when all of a case is clearly wplaced before it. Take, for example, the Potter committee. Public characters were assailed there d@aiiy by witnesses, and partisanship exhausted ‘every means to sustain the charges and allega- wiles; but, even before the committee had submit (ed Its report, the evidence adduced had been care- f@ully weighed by the reading public, and those wweho had been unjustly or fulsely accused were ex- wonerated. The contingent fund investigating «eommittee may discover that they would have ebetter prevented unjust aspersion of character by permitting all their proceedings to go to the peo- ple through the daily papers than by closing the doors and giving opportunity for misrepresenta- tion and exaggeration toleak through the key- bole. ——_~+>+_____ ‘The appotntment of Prof. J. E. Hilgard to the position of Superintendent of the Coast and Geo- etic Survey, was announced in yesterday's STAR. ‘This appointment is one that meets universal ap- proval amongst those who have a knowledge of ‘the requirements of this responsible position. Mr. Hilgard entered the service of which he is now ap- ppointed the chief in 1845, at the age of twenty, and safver seventeen years service in all branches of ‘fs work, none of which he touched without leav- ‘img the mark of his genius, he was at the out- Mereak of the war appointed to the responsible po- s@ition of chief of the office in Washington, which Mme has held until now. The high reputation which Mie has since achieved among the men of science, ‘the civil engineers, and the maritime men, both at Mame and abroad, is attested by the universal as- | sgeat with which his appointment to the existing weecancy has been called for. No fitter occasion e@eald be found to vindicate the principles of a s@emnd civil service than is offered by this case, and ‘are congratulate the government and the country *@hat this fact has been recognized. All the more ‘aust we be surprised that while the whole corps ‘f officers of the Coast Survey, almost without @xeeption, while the leading scientific bodies, the Waiversities, the most eminent engineers, public ymaen of the highest standing from all parts of the ®Waion, the commercial and shipping associations <@O-the principal ports, the most prominent officers “@@ the navy, have united in recommending Prot. ‘WMligard, his appointment should have been an- ‘@agonized by a clique of officers of the army in Mievor of one of their own corps. Themselves en- “eying the advantage of promotion by seniority, “erithout regard to eminent service,—a system ‘wahich, however necessary to the purely military service, !s deadening to that competition and de- a@tre to excel, through which all progress in engi- M™meering ts made,—they have been unwilling to stant toa civilian the promotion which, on the eground of long efficient service and grade, he was centitied to, even if on no other grounds, and have “Sought to obtain the place forone of their own “mumber, whose retirement from the corps would wmake a desirable vacancy !n the rank of leuten- sant-colonels and give a step tomany. It appears Sto be time thata definite shape be given to the rplan frequently mooted of establishing a depart- »ment of public work in which the skill and science ©@f civil engineering could compete on equal terms swith that of the now privileged class of military e@uginecers ——_—~<r-_ ®t Louis society ts somewhat agitated on the s@ebject of the color line. Ata theater where col- eared people are admitted only to the family circle, e@teacher of one of the public schools, accompanied | wevhis wife, got into the parquet. They were beth so nearly white that they passed the door- Meeeper without dimcuity, and among strangers would, perhaps, never have been recognized as be- Menging to a race different from all the other oceu- | WHSAts of the parquet; but some very “particular” | yyeung men pointed the colored pair out, and they | werere compelled to leave their seats. A suit at law M@ader the civil rights bill is promised. — <> According to a leading New York paper, Judge Wielley, of Pennsylvania, hitherto the very emboul- | tment of extreme protection, has modified his vetews and now favots a “proper” revision. “It ts amet tw be expected, of course, that any revision @udye Kelley assents to would go very far, but the Wery fact that he Is willing to abate protection one aget or tittle, must be encouraging to the tariff re- etormers. <2 ‘The inspiration theory doesn’t seem to work e@verywhere. Col. J. Howard Welles, who was tn- *epired to write threatening letters to Jay Gould s@ome time ago, was yesterday formally indicted “Mor that offence by the grand jury of New Yfork. He will probably spend some time in the penitentiary as soon as bis case can be reached in ‘the courts. ~+> Be ‘The report that the projected Baltimore news. “Paper, the Times, is to be owned by the Baltimore HOLIDAY GOODS.
