THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON: _ NIONDAY. February uM, ie 1982. CROSRY S. XOYES...... .--. Editor, ‘The Evening Star bas a regular, permanent bena fide daily circulation more than treble that of amy other daily paper published in Washington, and much greater than that of all the other daily papers bere added together. THE STAR cannot wmiertuke t preserve or return rejected conmunications. Contributors whowish to possess their manuseripts, f un- used, should keep a copy. 52 Maticr of whatever character intended for publication must, if is appearance the same day ts desired, reach the afice not later than 12 clock nom. "7 No attention paid to Anonymous Letters or Couamaanications on any subject One year ago Tux Stax sounded a warning, ‘which the local authorities heeded only in part, ‘oncerning the danger of allowing the cocoons to remain on the beautiful shade trees of Washing- ton. Had the precautions then suggested been thoroughly followed, there would have been less wailing at the end of the summer season over the tevastation of the follage in streets and parks. AS cwas, the caterpillars for three or four months Dad everything their own way. They devoured ll the leaves which were not rankly bitter to the taste, and turived and plied on this diet. When they had finished their work on the trees in front of a house, they entered the house itself and levied contributions on the larder. The trees would take advantage of the respite to put forth \ fresh crop of foliaze, at a great expense of vitality, and no sooner would the new leaves ma- ure than the erswitng pest would fall upon and stevour them In turn. No species of vegetable life can long endure such a draft upon its resources. tis. as much as any plant can reasonably be ex- ected to do, to perfect a single crop of foliage, slowers or fruit in a season. When it ts forced to produce two or three, the effect must be stunting ‘nd injurious. When THe Star gave warning of he existence of a multitude of cocoons on the vare limbs of the trees last spring, It was answered that men were already at work destroying them; revertheless, the majority of them were not de- stroyed. ‘Then the entomologists, professional and umateur, had an animated discussion as to whether the caterpillars were hatched in the trees o: crawled up the trees from the ground. With all deference the sugzestion is renewed this year that the trees be cleared wholly 0° cocoons before the buds burst. Precautions taken to pre- vent the caterpillars from ascending the trunks will be in order later on; but last year’s expert- ‘nee suilces to show that a part of our present dtuty at least will be left unperformed ff we do not sweep Ube branches clean as a preliminary. —_$<—— + ——__ Now comes J. Milton Turner, of St. Louis, and deelares in favor uf Matthews, of New York, for re- order of deeds of Washington, He admits that yoth republicans and democrats have pledged hemselves in their platforms to appoint citizens of he District and of the territorles to local offices, out he knows of no case where such appointments save been made except in one instance, where an Indian was appointed Indian agent. It must bea feat comfort to the President to be defended for breaking the democratic pledge in the present case by the plea that the habit of breaking such pledge isebronic witn him. But this Insult to the Prest- dent is undeserved. It 1s based solely upon the immensity of what J. Milton Turner does not know. The President does not violate the rules ‘oneerning local appointments save where some xceptional advantage {s presented. The territo- ries are as sensitive as the District about carpet- bag rule. The new governor of Dakota even went to the troubie, under promise of the governorship, of taking up Pis residence in Dakota in judicial of- ice Six months before his appointment, in order to remove from himself the curse of earpet-bagism aS far as It was pesstbie. But if J. Milton Turner was not grosely ignorant of affairs in the District sod territories and nothing existed except what he knew, the appointment of Matthews would stili .¢ without defense. Whatever may be the optn- on in St. Louis, Liberia and New York, it fs no ex- euse to District citizens worthy the name to say: ‘I, the democratic party, have made lying pledges ‘0 you and cheated you out of these offices before, and so has the other party; therefore it 1s right sor me to break faith again.” It is impossible for ‘Uhe republican and democratic parties to so con- duct themselves towards each other as to justify hoth in violating independent pledges to the Dis. trie, Assuming that one plays the Har and cheat tm this respect, it is no answer to the District to say that the other has been a Har and cheat also. ‘What the District asks is “Just recognition” of the anetity of a promise and the just (2) recognition for political advantage of the fact that a man is white, Diack, red or yellow should not be of a Teather’s weight in the opposite seale, << ‘The piea of the enlisted men now employed in the weather bureau, {or the transfer of that bureau ‘rom military to civil control, is worthy of careful onsideration by Congress. So thoroughly has hetr meteorologteal work become divorced trom the general routine of military service that there seems to be netther logie nor practical advantage | noontinuing them longer under the fron disct- pline of the army, with its inadequate rewards, brief seale of promotion, and arbitrary social dis- imettons. It would not be fair, of course, to those veterans Who have, by years of faithful endeavor, yeared the point of retirement, to put them back om @ level with the younger recruits; but the feel- ing within and without the stgnal corps {sso strong in favor of the transfer that Congress could, very well afford to make special provision for the tew cases where hardship might result. In amat- ‘er where the proportion of support to opposition Sas thirty to one, it seems as if, even With ouly a Mttie more than a fortnight of the session remain- ing, something could be done at once to relteve the ullitary service of an anomalous branch. — Narrowed down, the controversy between Secre- ary Manning and his censors in Congress who ac- use him of violating the act of March ist, 1878, “arns upon the effect of the presence or absence of he little letter “s” at the end of the word “de. nomination.” The question is substantially whether the demand that a number of Treasury notes of different “denominations” shall be re- laced bY a number of others of the same “de. uomination,” means that the substituted notes aust be of the sume “denominations” as thase ‘hose places they take. The Secretary argues hat, ff Congress had meant to say “denomina Uons," i would not have said “denomination”— «Very fair assumption, certainly, in spite of the Yntactical eccentricities which occasionally crop aatim the body at lange, and the orchographical imnovazions of which individual members are suuty. TheSenate vil requiring the Washington ana! ‘Georgetown gas light companies to lower the price of gas from $1.50 w $1 per 1,000 feet, and authortz img the two companies to consolidate, tends to rive the District cheaper gas Care should be aken that the provisions waich are designed to stveus better ges are equally pointed andeffective. | A comintssion selected by the Secretary of the In. | Verlor are to inquire into the cost and healthful news of differeat Kinds of gas, and the gas tur-| nished must be up to the standard approved by | he Secretary.

Sheridan's pian, based upon successfu sighting from pits against the Indians, of fring our defensive cannon from under the surtace 1s to avold the necessity of forts, and Ericsson's De troyer, witu its submarine gun, and its projectile cwenty-five feet long, carrying three hundred pounds of gun cotton, is to avoid toa great ex- Yemt the necessity of a navy by reducing very speedily a hostile nation to an equally navy-less condition. The great inventor of the Monitor claims that his new invention can destroy and oem lad that exists, and that there has bo fatlure in along series of ex with it. Ifthe Destroyer does ‘what is promieca for 14, even Gen. Sheridan’ probably prove ample protection against a hostile aasy upon Which a fleet of Destroyers have been operating. Saxs Axp Coorsse Winter is on the wane, ‘tis true, yet it may be that the extra inducements we are effering in winter outfit- tings for men and boys may bestrong enough toinduce you to buy an extra Suit, a Hat,apair of Trousers, or some of the many “fixings” tobe found in our Fur- nishipg Department,for instance. Although the de- mand has been very heavy for the $10 Business Suits that we marked down to 87, there are still a goodly number remaining, apd as our object in naming $7 8 Suit for them was to clear them out, they will remain to marked during the present weck. We give our friends fair warning this is the last time we'll adver- tise them. SAKS AND COMPANY. ‘The Derby Hats at $1.95 are growing beautifully Jeasin number, and why shouldn't they? They were the best values by farin this town at $2.50, 83 and 183.50, and now that they are bunched at $1.06 no rea- sonable comparison of values canbe made. These Hats, mark you, are correct in everything, the most popular blocks, the latest shades and shapes. No old stock, but of the present season's purchase, and on the truth of this statement we stake our claim to business integrity. Those who know us need no guarantee of ‘our good faith. SAKS AND COMPANY. ‘Two Ninety-five is s peculiarly odd price to name for pair of Trousers, but the first season we occupied our present building we sold about 2,200 pairs of all-wool Trousersat that price. They gave such general satis- faction that those who bought them have come again and sent their friends for duplicates. We couldn't du- plieate the exact patterns, but we've managed always to keep in stock goods of ashigh order of merit as thore, and always at the same price. A recent pur- chase, however, enables us to offer several lines at this price far superior to those we refer to, perfect in fit, fashionable in shape, all sizes, $2.95. SAKS AND COMPANY.

Jovrxar Sars: The progress that has been recorded of the silk manufacturing interests of the United ‘States during the last thirty-five years or so is ‘one of the most remarkable things to be found in the industrial history of the world. Prior to 1850 the manufacture of silk could scarcely be said to have a definite existence in this country, though very large sums of money and an un- Amown amount of labor and trouble had been devoted to the endeavor to create such an in- dustry. To-day American silks are acknowl- ‘edged to be the finest and most reliable in the world, and their production is upon an enor- ‘mous scale. ‘We have made a specialty of the Black “Amer- ican” Gros Grain Silks for the past six years, in the full range of qualities. The large trade we havealready acquired for these estimable gvods, ‘nd their steadily increasing popularity, is the strongest possible corroboration of their general excellence and intrinsic value. Black Silks are becoming more fashionable than ever before, as their even grain, superior finish, pliableness, moderate price, and the fact that they are suitable for almost ail occasion: recomniends them as not only. the best, bu Feally the cheapest fe dress fabric procurable, 81.42% 31 era cain nd 82. sh and ev the best quality, cure in any city. ne WOODWARD & LOTHROP.

REDFERN'S tailor-made Coats are superior because attention is given to details. ‘Tho out of the garment and the materials are as different from ready-made tailor-made wraps as light is from darkness, ‘WHY SHOULD IT BE? ‘This was pondered over by the Palais Royal and re- sulted as follows: A leading manufacturer of New ‘York was visited, a Redfern coat was submitted, a con- tract was made to make up Spring wraps to our order of English Cloth, thoroughly shrunk, double seams, extra stays under buttons, hand-made button-holes, Pockets double sewed, stays at all weak points. THE RESULT: ‘We are enabled to offer a Spring Jacket, with all the style of a “Redfern,” and made up as well as the ex- Pensive “to order” goods, and at a price—well, we have something to say ABOUT PRICES. Contracting to take from the manufacturer fifty gar ments each week, a special and low price was quoted; and, as we will ask fifteen instead of the usual twenty- five per cent profit, we quote pricesas low as demanded for “shoddy” garments—s vulgar expression, which applied to Spring wraps means a cost that will look well enough at first, but ina short time will zip, shrink, fade; in short, look “shoddy.” ‘English Check Tweed Jackets, Silk-faced, $8.68.
