THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D.C THE EVENING STAR. ~ WASHINGTON: WEDNESDAY as Se ROSEY s. NO t THE EVENING STAR has the fullest Local Circulation of any Newspaper in the World, and Advertising Medium is worth more all the other papers Washington, The result of the experiment of keeping the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York open two evenings a week will be watched with considerable interest by those interested im the management of such institutions, because it has sometimes happened in the past that the public has failed to avail itself of advantages thus afforded, in compliance with a generally expressed wish. The experi- ence of the Corcoran Gallery of Art in this city may be cited as acase in point. Some Years ago it was opened free one evening each week during the winter season. Fora little while the attendance was quite large, but it soon fell off, both as to numbers and the char- acter of visitors, until the attendance was made up largely of street arabs or half-grown urchins with loose ideas as to the propriety of conduct, apparently drawn to the place by the light and warmth of the galleries, and more in- tent on the defacement of statuary and other works of art than study or enjoymant of beauti- ful things. To meet this difficulty a nominal admission fee of ten cents was afterward charged, with the view of excluding, in a measure at least, the noisy and mischievous elements, and affording at the same time bet- ter accommodations for those likely to be really benefited by night exhibitions. The gallery was, however, in nowise the pecuniary gainer from this charge. It bore all the extra expense involved of lights, fuel, service, etc., and turned the gross door receipts over to the Washington art club, an or- ganization then in existence, and in need of help. This experiment seemed to answer the purpose for a while, but later on the attendance fell off to such small propor- tions as to lead the management of the insti- tution to feel that the facilities thus afforded were not greatly desired by those for whom they were specially intended, viz: those whose pursuits or engagements ‘prevented them from visiting the gallery by daylight. In conse- quence the evening exhibitions were discon- tinued several seasons ago, and have not since been resumed. New York state is not big enough for Gov- ernor Hill. In his inaugural address he not only gives sound advice concerning important state issues, but, turning his attention to na- tional affairs, advises amendments to the fed- eral Constitution which shall provide for a presidential term of six years, the President's ineligibility to re-election, and a salaried seat in the Senate for retiring Presidents. The recommendation) of a single presi- dential term of six years is excel- lent im itself. but it will be more appro- priately and effectively addressed to the Con- gress of the United States by President Hill in 1893, if he happens to be nominated and elected to that office. Perhaps, however, under such circumstances, he would not be so em- phatically in favor of presidential ineligibility to re-election, especially as the suggestion of life-offices in the Senate for ex-Presidents is not likely to be received with popular enthu- siasm. It is doubtless the safest plan to make such recommendations when one is in position to be disinterested in his views, and when the expression of one’s opinions has not the conse- quence of a possible shortening of one official term. The ex-Presidents will be grate- ful to Governor Hill for remembering them in his inaugural. ee The patent leather trust has suspended its price-list framed last summer, and we can all get our dancing-pumps at a reasonable figure till the screws are put on again. This is com-| fortable for the public, but how about the trade? The list was made in summer, when most of the retailers were laying in their sea- son's stock. All the brisk buying having ended, prices are broken; and now every petty mer- chant who has not loaded up with high-priced goods can buy at his own rates and undersell his neighbors. That is the way the trust sys- | tem works, every time. The people who pat- ronize a trust and help swell its wealth, are those whom the trust deserts and leaves in the Iurch as soon asa passing chance of selfish profit seems to present itself. $$ Two states, Michigan and New York, cele- brated New Year day with the [inauguration of agovernor. At Albany the incomer will be also the outgoer, the Hon. David B. Hill, who figured through most of the year 1887 asa formidable rival of Mr. Cleveland for the democratic nomination for President, and who is now, probably, pretty glad he didn’t get it. In New York city, Mr. Hewitt steps out of, and Mr. Grant into, the mayor's chair, and an era of remarkable activity in municipal reform comes to anend. The great metropolis will hardly recognize herself under an order of things, in which the mayor is merely a hum- drum, every-day sort of an officer, with an eye te the main chance in Tammany polities all the time,and uo crotchets with which to startle press and people. As for Mr. Hewitt, what is left for him but to resume his sufferings from sleeplessness, and write letters to the papers about those performances of his successor which do not suit him?

AN AMAZING OFFER. ‘We positively offer to give to every one who trades with us two suits forthe price asked for one. WE GIVE ONE SUIT To those who purchase the other; and if the suit we give is not a perfect suit and satisfactory DON'T BUY OF Us. Of course, this sounds extravagant. To give asatis- factory suit is no chromo; and you'll WONDER HOW IT’S DONE. ‘We can show you. We first sell a suit of clothes; Perfect in fit; of the best material; of the latest pat- tern; everything warranted, THE SUIT SUITS YOU. ‘That's where you get t its for one price. You'll say that’s a trick. But a suit that doesn’t suit you is worse than nosuit atali. And if a suit that doesn’t suit is worse than no suit,asuit that does FIT you is worth two suits. If that’s atrick, why it’s A TRICK THAT CAN'T BE TRUMPED. And competition must follow suit or throw away on our lead. VICTOR E.
