THE EVENING STAR WASHINGTON hat of amy other daily paper pubfished iw Washington, and equal to that of all the The Holiday Advertising. Advertisers will confer a favor by handing in aetr announcements as enriy ax possible for to mocrow's sixty-four columm issue. The de mand for space hax so increased that 1.968 more advertisements were printed during Oc- tober and November this year than last. The cireafation of the donble-sheet on November 28th #28 25.968, and on December 5th, 25.647 beicg thousands more than the cireulation of all the other Washington daily papers added together, + - | Consul Frisbie, of Lyons, Franee, reports to the State departmgnt that experience shows | that the state of the sparkling wine trade far- | nighes’ a relitbie barometer of commerctal | prosperity. When people feel easy in their cir | eumsiances they Indulge in the more costly | lugaries of the table, but when the times begin | topineh these superiluities are dispensed with. | Hence it is interesting to learn that the ship ments of champagnes to the Cited States dur- | Ing test Octoder, witich is taken as the best | month of the year for the comparison, were twenty-five per cent more than in October, 1984. Mr. Frisble says that this increase is | phenomenal, and he contrasts it with the contin- | ued dutiness of the Enropean market, where, he | writes, “a long «tagnation of business and com- mereial activity has been intensified by polite cat questions and the fears of wars.” This depression, he find, extends all over Europe, and is of the most serious eharacter. It iv of great importance that labor In this country should recognize the blessings it enjoys urider our liveral institntions and economi government. We have no court to maintain In idie splendor nor do we draft a million of oar | sturdiest citizens into a standing army, there to be supported in camps or ted, at ruinous ex- pense, inte wars with jealous neighbors. Our largest expenditure is to pay pensions to those ‘who suffered in defense of the Union, and this sum, formidable as it looks, is really only taken from one pocket to put in tie other, as the money gues directly back tothe masses of the people. Hence, in the competition of the world’s market we have an immense advantage. [i not atone oar vast territory or rich soil or de- Prsits of mineral which aecount for our eom- Parative prosperity aud comiort. We have to bless our Hberal political institutions as well for our happiness; and this teing so, all classes have a common interest In preserving those | institutions against selfishness or passion or the whim of the moment. Hlow absurd, for instance, for a body of men to meet in a hail out west and demand, in the interests of liberty, that the oice of President Shai! be abolished nd that herestter the fune- tions of the executive shall be exercised by a President has large powers, is true is true, also, that these powers r than was im the minds of the toundersof the Constitu- | tion. Bat it does not follow that the office should be abolished and ail those groat powers be added to those now exercised by Congress. $$$ Vanderbilt's will fs to be read to-day, though its contents may not be published till offered for probate. Itis thought that Cornelius, his oldest son, will Inherit the bulk of his her's fortune. It is notexpected that the deceased left large public bequests, but it may be that a surprise is in store for the people in that respect. | It will be remembered that shortly before his | death Vanderbilt cave half a million dollars to | the college of physicians and surgeons, and he | may still further endow this or other public | charities in bis will, It has been said #ise that he designed to present to the city his superb art | gallery. The temperance movement at the south fs | not confined to Georzia, but it Is spreading over a large territory. In Atah: striking pro- gress is shown. Thus at a local ele Florence, one of the most prosperous t the siate, the prolit ts ‘ied four out of ‘the five wards. In another city of the state the Joeal liquor license has been raised to $1,000. | In Maryland a large majority of -ho counties | have adopted local option proilbitio: tisto| be noticed that this temperance fecling thrives | ‘on most unquestioned democratic soil; and favorite theory of many good people at the | north, that demoer and “free rum” are synonymous terms, may have to be modijed to suit the circumstance: nt on | » the “revenue re- tie par based en a thoughtful view of the sits may be true, as the low tariff men f areduction in duties won! in many ees re- salt in fucreaced revenues from the auzmented | importations, but it must be admitted t such a change in policy would be in the n: ofan experiment; and with au estim staring us in the fa0e, this is sc for taking risks.

A striking and mournful illu | tratioa of this trath may be seea in the mek | ancholy fate of the daughters of the distin- | guished Prof. Morse. One of them is now in-| sane in Ouba,and a few days ago her sister, ‘while en reute to visit her. jumped overboard and was drowned {na fit of mental aberration. No doubt the secret of these melancholy events dies in the laws of heredity —— The representatives, it is evident, favor such @ revision of the rules of the House as shalt sim- plity and expedite business. The difficnity will | beim uniting on any one scheme. it is untor- tunate that the problem is complicated by per- sonal considerations. But it should be kept in mind that the rules may ve vastly bettered, ‘whether the appropriation bills are sent to one committee or several. Hence it is very desirae bie that this special movement be kept sepa- rate from the more general purpose to give memibers greater freedom fn procedure. ————- = ‘The fet that two organizations of the im- péttance and standing of the American Public Heaith Association and the Federation of Labor Unions of the U.S. and Canada are Belding conventions at the same time in ‘Washington, thows that the National Capital ‘aS RoW come to be the recognized place of assemblage for ail the great axsociations of ‘Une county. ——_——. + —__ Rueia snd Austria are beginning to pop alway at exch other over the shoulders of the Balgatians and Servinns, and it would not be at all strange if war was soon declared between these two grent powers.
