Norzs, Treasurer Evening Star Newspaper Co. Sworn to and subscribed before me this twenty-ninth day of October, A. D. 1883. Joun T. C. Crank, Notary Public. a ‘The London Times says of the British minis- ter’s letter: “We are not prepared to censure Lord Sackville. Washington or elsewhere, must be an English | gentleman, and may be forgiven if he is not up to all the dirty tricks of American politicians.” Italso comments upon “the undignified vul- garity and interested unfairness shown by both parties.” The Daily News declares that he has blundered, but also finds that he “has done nothing of which an honest man need be ashamed.” A very few American papers echo these London opinions. They pro- ceed on the assumption that the British minister's blunder consisted merely in per- mitting himself to be deceived by a bogus cor- respondent into an untimely expression of opinion,and that there would have been no cause of blame had the correspondent been what he represented himself to be. They take the narrow view that the protest against the letter is entirely political; that the indignation of the republicans is largely assumed to conceal ex- ultation at the incident, and to give the greatest publicity and importance to the letter as a campaign document, and that the exasperation of the demo- ecrats over the friendly indorsement of their candidate is explainable only by the fact that the letter got into print and promises to cause loss of more Irish-American voters than the Anglo-American votes which it was in- tended to influence. They extend their sym- pathy to the letter-writer on the ground that he has been tricked by politicians, and see noth- | ing in his action to offend the American people as distinguished from the politicians, whose selfish interests are affected by the epistle. They fail to comprehend the American sentiment on the subject as completely as the British minister misunderstands the status of the naturalized citizen of this republic. If the minister's correspondent is a man of straw, the tricked letter writer is really in a more de- fensible position than otherwise, for he has not really advised an American voter, Who con- fesses that he became such in order to serve Great Britain, what presidential candidate will best advance British interests, but has only given this confidential advice to republican politicians upon whom its influence might be expected to be slight. If the mere indication of willingness to play the part of confidential ad- viser to un-American voters in the American presidential election is less reprehensible than the actual performance of that role in our politics, then the British min- ister should feel grateful, if he has been deceived. To pronouce his conduct irreproachable by Americans, outside of the disgrace of being taken in by a dirty trick which injures and is therefore denounced by one of the political parties, is to say that every foreign nation may retain control of its people after they become citizens of the American re- public, may procure their naturalization in or- der solely to serve the foreign interest, and may through their representatives at Washing- ton direct these naturalized voters how to cast their ballots in the local elections in the man- ner which will best serve this foreign interest. The ex-Englishmen will be organized to vote for England, the ex-Frenchmen for France, and the ex-Germans for Germany, upon ques- tions in respect to which American interests are in direct opposition. This view of the status of the American naturalized citizen is not believed to prevail to any considerable ex- tent outside of London. ——— ee There is no doubt that the democrats have been making a hard fight, and by no meansa bar- ren one, in Michigan. So dangerous an adversary had they become, that the republicans were obliged to call in their old ally, Ben. Butler, who has gone out there to beat the bushes and bring out the greenback vote for Harrison. This may mean a serious defection from the normal democratic vote. Greenbackers are universally protectionists if they carry their principles deeper than the surface. They are generally good Butler men; and, although they would more gladly vote for Butler direct than for any candidate whose claim rested solely on the friendship and support of Butler, the gen- eral’s words will carry considerable weight. It is significent, however, that this north- western state, with its immense lumber, cop- per, iron and salt interests, believed to be a safe republican stronghold in presidential years, should be the one chosen for an extra strenuous effort in the last full week of a cam- paign. oe The Czar has received a fresh warning of. uncertainty of life, or the revolutionists Sacra warning of the perils of attempting his assassi- nation—it is hard to tell which—in the arrest of the disguised Cossack with explosives and poison concealed about his person. It was a rather common trick of the last Napoleon to have somebody arrested, at irregular intervals, for conspiracy against him. The political mal- contents, and common people generally, were supposed to be duly impressed thereby with the folly of any effort to compass his death by Violence, and with his indifference to the hatred of his foes. How much of this threat- rical business the Czar may be disposed to in- A British minister, whether at | dulge in is a gestion. The way arrests are made and published from time to time, and the affairs never heard of further, excites a suspicion that there are men put in durance on charges of horrible crimes, now and then, for effect. Sn aaa It would be an odd turn of fate if the next war in Europe should be brought about, not by she rankling hatred of France for Germany or of Russia for Austria, but through the matri- monial discords in the household of so petty a ruler as King Milan. Russia is bound to main- tain her ascendancy in the courts of the small powers through which she hopes to keep Turkey in @ state of semi-subjection. When she has not actually appointed a ruler, she ex- hatehed decree of divorce, the Czar will ably either insist upon putting her back again or sending the King to bear her in exile. It will not be a pleasant thing for Milan to invoke the hostility of a power so huge and so relentless as Bussia, but he may find himself reduced toa choice between playing the citi- sen off the throne or playing the slave on it Evexrxe Stam to-day appears permanently in double-sheet or eight-page form, in complete dress of new and beautiful type, and otherwise greatly improved, with a third new fast web- printing-machine, built expressly for it, added to the facilities of its press room. As its earlier readers know, within the period mentioned Tax Stan has made many steps forward, as they were justified by the growth of the city, the demands of the times, or the material pros- perity of the paper, until in this journal Wash- ington now possesses @ daily newspaper which in size, appearance, equipment, enterprise, in- dependence, and influence, is worthy of any city in the land. These advances have not been spasmodic or accidental, but in strict pursuance of the policy laid down in the first issue of the paper after its present conductors assumed con- trol, and which has been kept steadily in view ever since. From the announcement in Octo- ber, 1867, of the change in ownership, and the purposes of the new management then made, the following extracts are offered in illustra- tion: “We mean that Tae Stak shall be independent, outspoken, honest, expressing itself freely upon all questions of public interest, but always, we trust, with fairness and good temper. The time has come when Washington City can, by right of her population and business, demand a paper de- voted essentially to her interests. Heretofore it has been deemed impossible to sustain a journal here divorced from politics, and relying far its sup- port upon the people and business of Washington; but the Washington of to-day is something more than a mere political center, with all its interests merged in national politics. * * * There is a mission here for @ paper devoted largely to the en- couragement of the hopeful new business career entered upon by the District cities. THE STAR by its resources, its commanding circulation, and the liberal advertising supportit receives, is favorably situated to undertake that mission, and we shall enter upon the experiment without a shadow of misgiving. * * * THe STaR now visits almost every household in the District, and the universal- ity of its circulation causes It to present great at- tractionsfor advertisers. Weshall notrest satisfied until its large circulation is made yet larger; in- creasing steadily hereafter with the growth of the city. As @ newspaper, we mean that THE STaR shalloccupy the front rank. Our columns will show the completeness of our arrangements to secure the freshest and most suthentic news. Neither labor nor expense will be spared to this end. AS a local paper, THE STAR has been un- rivaled, and we shall take due care that its universal reputation as ‘the bestlocal paper in the District’ is fully maintained. While its contents will be thoroughly newsy, varied, fresh, sprightly and readable, we mean, at the same time, that they shall be unexceptionable in character. “We know what THE Stak has done in the past, and our ideal of its future career is a high one. How nearly we shall succeed in realizing that ideal remains to be seen.” How well these promises have been kept, and how nearly the hopes then expressed have been realized, those who have read its columns and watched the course of Tae Star from that day to this (and their name is legion) need not be told. For those who have not enjoyed the same means for making a comparison it may be briefly said that, without any increase in cost to its readers, the paper is considerably more than twice as large now as it was then, and the amount of reading matter furnished daily is nearly three times as great, while its average daily circulation is almost five times aslargeas at that time. As those familiar with the progressive journalism of to-day can readily understand, the expenses of the estab- lishment, in every department, and especially for the procurement of news and choice original reading matter, have grown in even greater proportion in the meantime; for one of the principles kept constantly in view was the rule that the liberal patronage extended to the paper should always be largely reflected in its improvements and betterments, not alone on the ground that its patrons should receive more in quantity and choicer in quality in re- turn for their support, but in order that its in- Suence and usefulness might be increased in a corresponding degree. As will be seen, there- fore, these growths have been partially the cause and partially the result of increased busi- ness and larger public confidence in the high aims ofthe paper and the persistence and fidelity with which they have been carried out by its conductors, Just what the future may demand of journal- ism, no man can foretell; but, as an earnest that Tue Star will meet all just requirements to come, its history for more than two score years past is pointed to with confidence. By that record it is quite willing to be judged as to the past and counted upon for service in the times to come. It is quite likely that in its new form some of the early readers of Tae Stam may find some- thing to regret. There is no doubt, however, that with a little usage all its patrons will like the paper better than ever. The change pro- vides, in the first place, for a greater amount of reading matter each day than has been pos- sible heretofore. In the second place, it allows the use of larger and clearer type for reading matter than thaé hitherto employed,—in itself a blessing to MM of no small magnitude; and, finally, it dispenses with loose supplemental or insert sheets, in the regular daily issues, and Presents the paper uniformly in compact, con- venient and attractive shape. So much for the reader. But the interests of the advertiser will also be promoted in equal if not greater degree. The new arrangement will permit massing of particular lines of advertisements not hitherto attainable, as well as a closer classification of the several departments of business life repre- sented in its columns; and as each of the eight pages will contain fresh and entertaining read- ing matter, every part of the paper will be available and valuable for new announcements intended for the public eye. It would be un- gracious to point to this very gratifying record without an accompanying expression of thanks to the general public, and especially to the People of Washington, for the very liberal patronage which has made it possible. Success in any laudable undertaking is pleasant; when industry, unstinted enterprise, fair-dealing, and steadfast devotion to duty, it has four-fold value, and is appreciated accordingly. Tux Sran feels this, it wishes its friends every- where to understand; and, in the words of the Great master of expression, it begs to say to each— “T give thee thanks in part of thy deserts, And will with deeds requite thy gentleness.” ST eee 1 ang se Dealers, oat” Et 4 oe Aomaren Tose For Pace Or Oxe Ladies’ Heavy Ribbed Wool Vests, extra long toallow for shrinking, High necks and long sleeves, _ 3 FOR $1.25.
