THE EVENING STAR. | Asocr Mexs Crorm, WASHINGTON tena fide daily circulation mere than treble that of any other daily paper published in Washington, and muck greater than that «fall the other daily papers here ndded together. THE STAR cannot undertake to preserve or return rejected communications. Contributors whowish to possess their manuscripts, { wn- used, should keep a copy. EF Matter of whatever character intended for publication muff, f its appearance the same day ts desired, reach the ofice not later than 12 e'elock noon. §F No attention paid to Anonymous Letters or Communications on any subject, Double-Shect Star on Thursday. On Thursday next, the date fixed for unveiling ‘the splendid statue of Garfield in this city, Tar Stax will be issued in elght-page or full double- sheet form, containing not only the news of the day from all parts of the world, but a number of excellent illustrations and all the interesting de- alls of the occasion. As an immense concourse of strangers will be assembled in Washington, either to participate in or view the imposing pageant, the circulation of Tas Star is certain to be phenomenally large and unusuaily desirable that day, making its Issue one of much more than ordinary value to advertisers. Not only will the columns of that issue be scanned by a larger num- ver of people in Washington than usual, but Thousands of copies will be sent through the mails to all parts of the country. Those wishing to reach the eye of the largest possible number of readers reachable from this point should there- fore not fail to embrace this rare opportunity; and, in order to insure insertion and proper classt- fication, their announcements should be sent In as early in the day as possible. Sa- Newsdealers and others wishing an extra number of tne paper that day should also for- ‘ward their orders in advance, to avoid disap- pointment. << A correspondent wishes to know why fourth class clerk» are excepted from th . operation of the new civil service regulations. Tue authority given ‘to tae Commissioners was to make regulations for ‘promotions, and the new rules masquerade under that title. Of course members of the highest class fore not stbje t to regulations for promotion, If authority hau been given to make rules to factlt- tate dismissals, and to provide new grounds for ‘turning out “the rascals” who had been cautious enough to avoid the Seylla and Charybdis of inefficiency and pernicious activity, the new cules would have been framed to accomplish directly, what 1s attempted indirectly, and some absurdities would have been avoided. A man emiciently performing humble duties would not be foretbly hauled up for examination for promotion to higher duties to which he does not aspire, nor ‘would the result of that higher examination be made factor in determining whether he 1s fit to perform the humble duties to which he has been appointed. Examfnations asto fitness to serve ‘would not be confined toa few classes, but would take imall pubite servants. The character, time and frequency of examinations and the classes to be examined would all differ from those provided by the new regulations. It seems that the Commis- sioners have even strained a point In response tothe political demand that a clean sweep be made of the departments, and it fs inconsiderate to re- proach them because undér stress of circum- stances they have been compelled to allow a porary respite to the fourth class clerks. It Is estimated by a department official, who is sald to be in position to know, that at least seven- eighths of the old government employes will lose thetr positions under the new rules.” Vacan- cies, vacancies, vacancies, and competitive exam- Inations stretching out to the cack of doom to correspond! The official day will need to have a portion of it set apart, like the lunch hour, for the purpose of competitive examina- tions As Uncle Sam pays for the time ‘Thus spent under compulsion by everybody, anew scheme may be added to the plans for reducing the surplus. It ts nonsense to say that the seven- eighths to be discharged will be weeded out as un- fit and inefficient. If inefficient they are already liable to be discharged on that score at any time without this rigamarole. It does not require a prodigious memory and tntense application to all ‘branches of knowledge to perform faithfully and eMietently the routine duties which fall to the large body of government clerks It 1s to the interest of the government as ft would be to the interest of the head of any great manufacturing establishment that its employes, if not ineictent in the: perform- ance of duties assigned, shall have a feeling of security in their positions, and shail hold their places sufficiently long to give it the benefit ot their experience. Uncertainty and apprehension among government employes, fears of losing their Place not because unfit for duty, but because of ‘of this or that politics or because unable to answer miscellaneous questions of a hostileexaminer, tend to demoralize the working force, making 1t shift- ing, changeable and unreliable. The capital city Js injured as weil as the government because employes will not make permanent homes, im- ‘provements or investments here, or become in any Way identified with the city, if the terror of dismissal on grounds which the most faithful per. formance of duty will not necessarily avoid is con- stantly before them. a ‘The noble army of all-conqueri ‘which has swept over the United omen has bee steged and captured Washington. The stone slung ‘by the District David glanced harmlessly from the adamant cheek of the huge drummer Goltath. Our | Supreme Court says, in a test case, that the District | Uicense tax upon foreign drummers ts unconstitu- tional and can’t be enforced. Congress may im- ‘Dose such a tax, and Congress is the only power | ‘Which can regulate District taxation; but somehow | or other Congress is not responsible for this par- | ticular tax. ——__— -=____ One of the sins of omission ef the last Congress, due efther to “cheese-paring” or the biunders of the Tush of a closing session, wasthe failure to make provision for lighting the Washington Mon- ument and running the elevator therein. As a re. sult only visitors who were bold and strong enough to grope to the top with candies have enjoyed the wonderful view from its summtt; thieves protected by the darkness have chipped and marred the ornamental stones; and now, owing to this vandalism, and the failure of Con- gress to provide the means of protection, the mon- ‘UMeNt W-li be closed to visttors entirely. ——_—— Chicago anarehists got into trouble for putting ‘the red and American flag; on the same level A Seclalist lecturer tu Pittsburg yesterday wasnearly amobbed for describing the star spangled banner as “a rag tied to a pole.” With so many anti-patriotic influences abroad tndignation of this ‘sort, even though over-violent, is refreshing and healthful. ‘Those who seek refuge from foreign despotism here are not to transfer the hate of their oppressors to the government and tlag which protect them. $< Baward Hen, a millionaire tobacconist of New ‘York city, has died, and, by his will, cut all his sous off without a dollar. No cause ts assigned tor the act, but it ts suspected that they crowed ‘Wo much over what they expected to receive, and Lue cautious Hen preferred that they should scratch a little for their living. <<< It 4s a rather severe commentary on the boasted British love for fair play that Mr. Parnell’s ad- visers, of all shades of partisan opinion, agree in asserting that be cannot prosecute the London Times for Wbel with any hope of justice from a Rd THE ENTIRE THIRD FLOOR OF OUR BUILDING (ACCESS BY STAIRWAY OB ELEVATOR), COVERING AN AREA OF 6,900 SQUARE FEET, 18 DEVOTED EXCLU- SIVELY TO THE DISPLAY OF SPRING CLOTHING FOR MEN AND YOUTHS.

HE DOESN'T BELIEVE IN ADVERTISING. WHAT WAS SAID TO HIM. ‘We spent $84 in an advertisement the other day, and which bas attracted criticism and imitators, The pro- Prietor of a photographic gallery said, yesterday, “You ¢an't make me believe you sell certain articles below cost and not charge extra prices for other goods.” We replied: “If we pay so much for » spacein the ‘Rewspaper must we need charge extra prices to pay for the advertisement?” “What is the difference—to spend $84 by selling a certain number of Jerseys below cost or torent spa in the newsraper?™” ‘“Weattract an unusually large crowd by our sdver- tisement.
