GRAND CHRISTMAS SALE ——___~+«- A Daily Eight Page Star. FROM ~The unprecedented pressure of advertising upon ‘@ke columns of Tar Star necessitates the tssue, at ‘aeast for the present, of an eight page paper @@amy. Saturday's paper contained 188 new ad- ‘wertisements—the largest number ever printed in s@eingle tssue—twenty-nine columns in all, which ‘a gust one column more of advertisements than a s@iagie or four page issue could contain, thus leav- ‘fggmo room, whatever, for reading matter. a Better Investigate Openly. “MBhe Treasury contingent fund investigating @@mmmitice have resisted all arguments ammiappeals in behalf of an open S@weestigation, and have apparently determined ‘ae rmaintain strict secresy ag to all pro- ewee8ings. They state, however, that ultimately a@itahe testimony will be printed and given to the -.°< Waite. The committee's chief reason for a secret ‘fmwestigation ‘s said to be their desire to prevent wiingury to the character of any person by ez parte yiestimony. If any witness testifies to that which :igaplicates any person, great or small, in the al- ulaged crooked transactions, which the committee sage inquiring into, the latter want to have that ‘eeatimony substantiated or disproved, or, In other swronds, have the case made up when It goes to the g@pablic. The motive of the committee is a good ame, but it is questionable if they are proceeding mpon a wise plan. Should there be witnesses, or even one witness, called before the committee, amho maliciously desires to reflect upon some ver- agen, by coloring his testimony, that witness will not se 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, 1t is almost Impossible 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 vwll reach the public in an exaggerated or dis ‘erted form. The American public is an intelle- went jury, and ts able to separate the truth “from falsehood when all of a case is clearly w@Blaced before it. Take, for example, the Potter Committee. Public characters were assailed there @@aity by witnesses, and partisanship exhausted ‘very means to sustain the charges and allega- sitions; but, even before the committee had submit- S09 Its report, the evidence adduced had been care- f@ully weighed by the reading public, and those who had been unjustly or falsely accused were ex- wemerated. The contingent fund investigating eeomimittee may discover that they would have better 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.

Hilgard to the position of Superintendent of the Coast and Geo- detic 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 1s now ap- ppointed the chief In 184, at the age of twenty, and s@fter seventeen years service in all branches of | ‘Sas work, none of which he touched without leav- timg the mark of his genius, he was at the out- MBeeak of the war appointed to the responsible po- sattion of chief of the office in Washington, which Mie has held until now.

Wiligard, his appointment should have been an- ‘@agonized by a clique of officers of the army in Miavor of one of their own corps. Themselves en- eying the advantage of promotion by seniority, verithout regard to eminent service—a system ‘wrhich, however necessary to the purely military service, !s deadening to that competition and de- s@ire to excel, through which all progress in engt- mmeering is made,—they have been unwilling to grant toa civilian the promotion which, on the uground of long efficient service and grade, he was centitied to, even if on no other grounds, and have “Sought to obtain the place for one of their own “mumber, whose retirement from the corps would vmake a desirable vacancy In the rank of euten- sant-colonels and give a step tomany. It appears ‘So be time thata definite shape be given to the wplan frequently mooted of establishing a depart- =ment of public work in which the skill and science Of civil engineering could compete on equal terms swith that of the now privileged class of military eengineers ———_—~<«r- *Bt Louis society ts somewhat agitated on the s@edject of the color line.
