THE_EVENIN WASHIN ‘The Evening Star has a regula bona fide daily circulation more thanctreble that of any ether daily paper published in w and much greater thao that of ali the other daily papers here added SED ‘The ars French cabinet appointed by President ‘Carnot has fatien already. It opposed with ail its Strength the Dill of the extreme lett in the cham- Der of deputies providing for a revision of the con- stitution, and was beaten bY a majority of lina total vote of 505. ‘The support of the bill seems to have come from malcontents in all parts of the chamber. Bonapartists declared themselves mm favor of it because ft would involve & direct appeal to the people. Royalists favored It because they believed it pointed to the restoration of the legitimate monarchy “which alone could save France.” Radicals of the type of Clemenceau Wanted the Dill passed because the present constitution 1s, in their opinion, out of ae- cord with democratic principles. And bebind the whole army of revisionists loomed up the Mgure of General Boulanger, whose quarrel With the existing order of things, and whose Fecent degradation by the government com- ined to bring about the crisis An active campaign in his behalf wil begin at once, and we may expect to hear of his election or defeat as a candidate for deputy in @ dozen arondissements ‘where his friends regard bis strength a3 suMicient to warrant an appeal for votes. The change of cabinet 13 really of lttle historical significance. Cabinets rise and fall easily in France. During the rst Mtteen years of its life the present republic ‘tried twenty-one. Probably no governmental sys- ‘tem in the world Is so elastic, in this respect, as the French. Neither is there, necessarily, any ground forapprehension tn the demand now made for « constitutional revision, The present constitution isa very different !astrument from the one origin- ally adopted. It is not, as many persons suppose, asingle and complete instrument, but a plece of work, like the British constitution. It has ‘haportant changes within the last four Years, and Without weakening Its republican fea- tures. Indeed, the change that has been made in ‘the character of the senate, by replacing life sena- tors with otherselected for nine years, isa long stride away from the aristocratic and toward the democratic extreme, as most of the other changes are also, ————— - Mr. Crain’s Joint resolution, proposing a consti- ‘tutional amendment changing the terms of the President and Vice-President of the United States ‘and of Congress, which is now ready for action by the House of Representatives, deserves the hearty support of every member. It meets two diff- culties which have caused thoughtful pa- trlots a good deal of earnest consideration. ‘The reasons why tnauguration day should be changed from the 4th of March to the oth of April are drawn not only from the logic of history but from the revelations of the weather Tecords in this latitude. As regards the date for the meeting of Congress, there 1s good common Sense in the preference forthe first days of Jan- uary, two months after the general election, over the present arrangement, which puts more than a Year between the choice and the seating of a rep- Fesentative. Under the system proposed by Mr. Crain, a member comes to Washington fresh from the people, and knowing what they want at that ‘very time. The change of date for beginning and ending terms involves also the idea of practically continuous sessions, for which the arguments have been repeatedly set forth in this column. No time should be lost in getting this resolution ‘through House and Senate, It combines so clev- erly the ruling ideas of several measures intro- duced ih both chambers during the last six years, that there ought tobe little opposition to it at either end of the Capitol. To delay now would be torisk the chance of bringing it before enough Sriendly legislatures this spring to insure its ratiti- cation and save the trouble of repeating the whole business two or three years hence; for the resolu- tion as ft stands fs made to apply to the term of President Cleveland and of the Pittieth Congress, and too siow action on it would be as fatal as adverse action of no action af all connell at {ts private session yesterday contained @ not undeserved tribute to the decency and good order which prevail in the leading thoroughfares of Washington after nightfall. The most enthu- elastic Washingtonian Will not clalm for our city @ total exemption from the social evil, but it can safely be said that no city of equal size is so care. fal to enforce the rules of public decorum, A correspondent of the New York Herald, sign- Ing himself “A Democrat,” suggests Judge Thur- man, of Obio, as a candidate for the vice-prest- dency on the ticket with Mr. Cleveland. From the tenor of his letter the writer appears to be an admirer of Mr. Thurman, but he evidently doesn’t ‘know him. Mr. Thurman isn’t that kind of a man, Bropnran & Co:s Seer Bazcarss, Satines, Zephyr Mat=ss Ginghams and ‘Spring, doods, 25¢. to Sle yard Cherk Nan oka 3c. to 25e. India Line. Se. to 40c.

The desutiful all-wool and silk-snd-wool Bentietta Cloths are dividing the honors with the fine French Cashmeres, and bot ‘fre to be had in all the newest shades and tints, Black Lace Dresses continue in favor, and black strah’{s weed for the underskir$ instead of satin, which Is now not so desira: __ dle on account of the shimmering effect. A Diack lace dress is not an expensive addition to one’s wardrobe, and it is one of the most ‘useful dresses any woman can possess, as it ean be worn on almost all cccasious im ‘winter or summer, and is becoming alike to young and old, Chantilly and spanish Gut- Pure are the preferred laces, The popular Challis have larger figures snd flowery ef fects than formerly, and is a weight between Cashmere and Nuns’ Veiling. The ground colors are delicate, and « dark shade of silk or velvet ie used for collar, cuffs, revers, oF Piaston, The printed Mobairs sre nothing ‘more nor Jess than the Brilliantine, or Aly Pace of twenty years ago, reintroduced in the figured effects of Challis, These latter fabrice are very desirable for Rouse Gowns, London-rede and copper shades prevail in the new checked and striped woollens in two-toned effects, and will be used for entire ‘suits instead of being combined with silk or plain material. BROADCLOTHS are more popular that heretofore, and are introduced in the latest shades, being largely used for entire dresses, as well as for Jackets, cloaks, raglans, nlsters, nd tho white #@ now used for wedding Greseen, being richly garnished with cold, or silver braid, and:produce a very clegaut appearance. SILKS—There is sn tnmistakable revival of Silks, and the style of costumes to be ‘worn this spring and summer not only ad- mits but encourages-ite use to a greater ex- tent than during any previous season.
