THE EVENING STAR. ASHINGTON: SATURDAY June 23, 1888, CHOSBY 5, NOYES. .- Editor, = ‘The Evening Star bas a regular, permanent bena fide daily circulation more than treble that of any other daily paper publisbed in Washington, and much greater than that of ali the other daily papers here added together. = ‘The Star Out of Town. Persons leaving the city for any length of time fan have Tux Stax mailed regularly to any address and for any period they may desire, Sa All orders for the paper by mail must be accompanied by the money,—at the rate of fifteen cents @ week, or fifty cents per month, unless sent to a foreign country, when the price, tnclud- ing postage, is 80 cents per month. $$ In another part of Tux Staxts published an artl- le showing the views of Sumner, Thurman and other distinguished ex-Senators and Senators upon the railroad occupation of the parks and streets of Washington. The objections to a surrender of ‘the parks to tracks, trains, and stations are forci- Diy presented, and the evils of the filegal practices Of the roads in occupying streets and reservations ‘without authority, and in using the streets for freight and storage purposes, thereby obstructing ‘and throttling two sections of the city, are vividly Pletured, Senator Thurman contended that the Giversion by the government of a park to railroad ‘uses Ian act of bad faith towards tne original ‘owners of the soll of Washington, confirming THE ‘Srax in Its position upon this question. It 1s ex- ected that tue railroad bills will be discussed in the Senate next week. Washington hopes that the friends of the capital will characterize the injurious railroad dictatorship as it deserves, and hat their Just indignation may be more effective 4n the accomplishment of practical results than ‘Was the eloquence of @ Sumner and aTuurman in as. <<» -=—___ The proclamation to postmasters concerning the ‘Unmailable character of envelopes coutaining of- feusive matter written or printed on them is needed in a large class of cases, Two men, for ex- ample, have a dispute over an account, which re- mains unsettled in consequence. The one who considers himself acreditor goes to an agency. ‘The agency, if 1t follows the course against which the proclamation ts, in part, directed, first sends through the mails a demand for the amount in controversy, enclosed in an envelope Father conspicuous for its shape, size and color, and With such words as “Blank’s Collection Agency” in heavy black letters on tts face. If a speedy response is not forthcoming another de. mand arrives, in a still more conspicuous envel- ‘Ope, containing the name of the agency and some phrase like “Second Notice to Delinquent Debtors.” This demand encloses a third envelope, covered with references to “Bad Debts,” “Dead Beats,” “Black-legs,” “Sneaks,” “Frauds,” etc., S80 couched as to come Just outside of the pale of he libel law of the state where the agency 1s situated, Dut with the obnoxious words printed in type which ycatches every eye; and the alleged Gebtor is Warned thai, if the claim ts not Paid in ten days,an envelope of this sort will be used for wrapping a third demand. To Save their families from the distress which The receipt of such mall matter at thelr homes would give them, men frequently Field to demands that in their judgment have no foundation tu Justice. The thoroughly illogical character of the whole business is manifest from ‘The fact that none Dut a sensitive spirit is affected Dy this sort of treatment. A man who ts really a Godger of honest debts ts not apt to be troubled ‘With seusitiveness. It fs well to have the line drawn between enterprise in the collection of @evts and in blackmailing alleged debtors, $$ ‘There 18 @ feeble consolation, during this un- Usually louz and oppressive neated term, in the thought that it cannot last forever; but we can ya great deal more comfort and avoid many Gangers while it does last if we adapt our habits Of life to the state of the thermometer. The very air we breathe is hot; the organs of the body re- Tuse to perform their regular functions without ‘Urging; but the cares and worries of existence continue just the same during the hottest as Guring the coolest weather, These conditions Predispose men to injury from exposure, Let every person, therefore, eat as lightly as 1s Consistent with proper nourishment, and give fresn fruit a leading place in his dietary; go to ‘be early and get all the sleep he can before the eat, the light and the noise of a new day make Thorough rest impossible; keep bis mind in acalm and cheerful state, no matier what annoyances arise, by an exertion of the will; stay In the shade; Gress in thin clothing, light-colored where that i3 Practicable, and as free as may be from stiffness ©r pressure upon any part of the body; move slowly, even if he has to ask the temporary indul- Bence of those who wait upon his motions; and joid the two exiremes of persistent ice-water Grinking and of stimulation with alcohol. By observ- ing these precautions, there 1s no reason why ‘anybody should suffer serious damage from the continuance of the heated term. It is inconvent- nt, but it need not be fatal,or even dangerous, Sustained by this reflection, and keeping cool in the orthodox manner suggested, one can pity with calm superiority the fretting and perspiring indi- Vidual who utters without ceasing that great truth: “Whew! But tso’t tt hot!" <_< One of the curious results of the reduction of the umber of liquor saloous in Philadelphia under ‘the new license law is the complaint made by the teamsters at the disappearance of the wooden ‘Watering-troughs formerly placed by so many pub- Ucans 1m frout of their taproom doors, in order that the sight of the thirsty horse’s enjoyment ‘Would inspire the driver to take something also, ‘The Lenevolent societies have supplied the lack to Some extent by the substitution of metal tank Dut these have the alsadvantage of becoming ‘Warm under the sun’s rays, so that horses will not Grink the water, while the wooden trough used to Keep its contents cool and attractive. It seems Odd that a movement designed to promote the use Of water as opposed to other forms of drink should Fesult indirectly in cutting off the avallablo sup. iy from so many of a city’s most eager and per- Sistent water-driukers—a class whose steady hab- As Landseer celebrated tn his picture of the “Tem- perance Society.” ——— General Boulanger’s political prospects have Suffered ancther backset in the defeat of his triend and partisan associate, Paui Deroulade, in last Sunday'selection in the Charente. But this does ot mean that ne has ceased to be a factor in French politics. ‘This will not happen ull his own OF sowe other scheme for the revision of the con- stitution shall Bave been adopted. Le has no idea Of drawing out himselz, and he can be driven out oaly by the production of some plan confessediy Detter or stronger than the one he has devised. ‘Till then, he must de counted as an uncertain and Custurving element in every calculation. $< Representative McKinley's appearance at the Chicago convention as a dark horse 1s not unex. pected. Mr. McKinley 1s credited with the largest Share tn the authorship of the platform; and there ‘Would be nothing illogical, certainly, in asking the Maan who formulated this statement of principles ‘to offer himself as Ita expouert and administrator. But there is a strong sentiment that it will be im- politic to sligit and pass over Senator Sherman in ‘order to nominate another man from his state. It tsall very well to urge the candidates before the Chicago convention, and their friends, not to get excited; but it is folly to tell them, in this hot ‘Weather, to “keep cool” They probably wish they could, with all their hearts, as Swayer of multitudes, can afford todivert his at- tention for a while from the mistakes of Moses to Sue miscalculation of Robert, Harrison, Allison, or Biaine, which? Harrison ‘wul Grst, by permission, make bis dash for vic- tory, then Allison, and if both fail look out for the Biaine rusb. ‘tes of the contest at Chicago by one; but what is that among so many?

THE PALAIS ROYAL CLOSES THE SUMMER SEA- SON WITH 4 TUMBLE IN PRICES UNPRECEDENTED IN ITS THE STORE TO BE RUN AT A LOSS FOR ONE WEEK, FROM JUNE 25 TO JURE 30.— The great clearing sale at the Palaiq Royal is dis- ‘tinctive inasmuch as the reduced prices are made on ods already extraordinarily good valuee—reference is made to the great purchases lately made when, in many instances, entire stocks were closed out sta large discount, WHAT SOME HAVE TO SAY. “They say Pm selling goods st s loas,"said Mr. Lisner to the writer yesterday. Taking ups pairof Hoseas ‘an illustration, he said: “I sell these Hose at 25c. and ‘make a fair profit because of taking advantage of adull ‘wholesale market. They are worth 48c. as prices gen- erally go here, but it's not fair to say Ilose because I sell them at 25c.; rather is it be who has not yet dis- posed of stock bought at high pricss earlier in the sea- son, and whois unable to take advantage of such op- portunities for buying.” “IT IS NOT AS IT SEEMS.” hesaid. “I've made more mouey so far this June than any preceding month this year,and yet they say I'm selling below cost. “Now, I'll tell you what I will do Twill sell at cost for all next week, partly to show them that I dare to, and partly because of ‘stock-taking on the Ist of July.” Above is the conversation that took place between THE PALAIS KOYAL proprietor and his advertising man yesterday, and is quoted by him here because it ives the fairest, the truest and best account of the Coming Clearing Sale, THE GOODS TO BE OFFERED.
