THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D.C.. THURSDAY, JANUARY 3, 1889. THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON: THE EVENING STAR has the fullest Local Sad us ont Sarencag seoaians 0 wre and as Advertising } than all the ether papers published Three Senators were named yesterday for the Fifty-first Congress. In Maine, Mr. Frye was renominated by acclamation, as a matter of course. In Michigan, James McMillan was chosen by the republican caucus to succeed Mr. Palmer. He is a citizen of Detroit, presi- dent of the Michigan car company, and has a fortune estimated at fifteen million dollars. His age is only fifty-one. Without any preten- sion as an orator, he basshown much ability as & political organizer, and has spent his money freely for the party. When Zachariah Chand- ler died in 1579, Mr. McMillan succeeded him as chairman of the republican state central committee; he was a Blaine and Logan elector in 1884, and was a prominent candidate for the Senate to succeed Mr. Conger im 1887, but withdrew at the last moment. In Colorado, Mr. Bowen makes way for Edward Oliver Wolcott, a Denver lawyer of large practice. He is reputed to be the most magnetic speaker who has ever been heard in that part of the west, and people about the neighborhood of Denver will travel for miles to hear him when it is announced that he is to make & public address. He iscounsel for the Denver and Rio Grande railway company, and one of the judges on the Colorado bench once said of him that he could come nearer to making a jury cry over a corporation suit than any lawyer that ever lived. Hence, though the upper house of the Fifty-first Congress will exchange @ lumber king and an old-fashioned politician for two more millionaire railroad attorneys, it will be a gainer over the present body by the addition of one man whose forensic powers will recall the memories of better days, when the floor of the Senate was the finest field for debate in the whole country. ——<—$<$<—= —___ The London Teleqraph pays a high compli- ment to President-elect Harrison when it says that anybody he sends as minister to England will be persona grata, but takes the taste of this out by its other statement that the English people have alwayscontrived to make our min- isters “more English than they were before they came to England.” If by this is meant that the representatives of our country lose any of their loyalty in their admiration and affection for the motherland, it is something of which we have no reason to feel proud. If, however, the remark signifies simply that Americans improve their knowledge of English People and institutions by a residence among them, we may say quite as much for the effect produced upon Englishmen when this condi- tion is reversed. The London cockney who visits the United States and learns that he can- not shoot Indians from the windows in Bunker Hill monument or chase the wild bison on way, is a marked improvement upon his brother who stays at home and cherishes the fond delusions of his youth; and even the cul- tivated habitue of West End drawing-rooms, who discovers that educated and retined Amer- jeans are not very different from educated and refined persons of other nationalities, has ac- tually taken a stride in Americanism him- self. ——————— ‘The episode in which Lord Lytton figured in ® most conspicuous way, a few years ago. as one of the patrons of a beautiful circus-rider, who floated through Inlia ona cloud of white tulle, created so greata scandal as to cause his lordship’s transfer at an eariy day. More than @ dozen years ago a show caravan of six wagons, twenty or thirty men and women, and eighty horses, was stopped at the frontier while attempting to pass from Germany to Belgium, and was the cause of a diplo- matic correspondence by _ telegraph, im which even «0 great @ magnate as Prince Bismarck took part. There was also started on its travels, about the same time, a newspaper story of the operations of some per- sons of note in American public life, in turn- ing the consular service of the United States into an advertising medium for a traveling menagerie and hippodrome. Now comes news of the application of Consul Astwood at San Domingo and the government of the Domini- can republic in behalf of a showman who proposes to carry the mortal remains of Christopher Columbus on a tour of the United States. There is no rea- son, perhaps, in strict logic, why the show bus- iness should not stand on the same footing as any other business. and enlist the service of American consuls as intermediaries when nec- essary. But in the unwritten ethics of such matters there exist certain subtle distinctions; and the rule which would permit a correspond- ence of this sort over the sale of a Jumbo or the taking of a cast from the regalia in London Tower will not bear stretching to the point of Proposing a partnership enterprise between a government and a museum-manager in rattling & great man’s bones over our country for exhi- bition at a half-dollar a head. ————— es ‘The denial of the existence of a white-cap organization in Obio was followed so promptly by the administration of a whipping to some Offender against the moral code of that order that probably no attempt will be made to clear the good name of New Jersey in like manner. The white caps there have threatened a gro- cers’ protective association with tar and feath- ers, rail riding, and everything else that is bad, if it dares to publish a list of delinquent debt- @rsand “dead beats.” which it professes to have prepared for print. Yetit might properly be suspected that in this case the name of the terror-breeding association has been used with- out authority to protect a lot of people who do not want their acknowledged short-comings to to be exposed. That kind of a regulating body is not so much to be dreaded as one which has no motive for its excesses other than a deter- mination to make all mankind conform to its Peculiar notions of rectitude. The evil-doer who is trying to escape disgrace is much easier to catch than the fanatical moralist whose con- duct is ordinarily that of the average citizen and who is eccentric only in the dark. eee California's eclipse of Tuesday was a great success, and promises interesting scientific re- sults, when the lessons of the observations have been fully learned. Japan's attempt at a total eclipse, the one immediately preceding that of January 1, 1869, was a disappointment and partial failure by reason of officious clouds, ‘The new world affair went off better, centred ; Philadelphia statistics show that the suicides Of the city during the year just closed reached the astonishing number of 99, more than three times as many as the homicides. ‘The quiet and self-restrained people of the City of Broth- erly Love destroy their own lives rather than those of their neighbors.~ Perhaps the mo- notony of life and of residence architecture causes them to grow weary, oh, so weary, and to wish that they were dead. . — ‘Mr. Springer’s amendment providing for a single presidential term of six years fails to in- corporate Gov. Hill's suggestion of life seats in the Senate for ex-Presidents. The governor's @elicate compliment to the ex-Presidents, among whom the present executive is soon to be counted, is not likely ever to take the sub- stantial shape of a constitutional amendment, oo The Mexicans are shocked and indignant he- cause an account of an imaginary revoluticn at their capital has been printed in New York. They wish it to be distinetly understood that ‘they can revolute fast enough without the aid of American newspaper imagination, 9 From the correspondents’ gallery at the Capi- tol to the speakership of the lower the Massachusetts legislature is something of a stride for a young man to make in little more than two years, but William E. Barrett, who used to represent the Boston Advertiser here, has made it. He was one of the yor men on newspaper row when he left Washington in into polities the same spirit of restless enterprise which characterized bis work in journalism, NOVELTIES FOR BALLS, PARTIES, RECEPTIONS AND THE THEATER. ‘THE PALAIS ROYAL DISPLAY FOR 1889. WHAT WILL YOUR VERDICT BE? LISNER ON THE ANXIOUS SEAT. THE PALAIS ROYAL buyers have, for months Past, been collecting novelties for the New Year; not only have the home, but also the foreign markets, been visited. ‘Has the time and capital and brains been wisely used? ‘The public is Judge and Jury. ‘The verdict is asked. The Palais Royalp roprietor, like Irving, who, the other night, after months of preparation, presented “Macbeth” to a critical English audience, anxiously asks: What ts your verdict? SIX QUESTIONS ANXIOUSLY ASKED. First.-What do you think of the qualities, new tints, and prices of our new Evening Gloves? ‘Second.—The new Evening Silks and Gauzes for Over- dresses; lovely new shades, but will they meet with your approval? Third. —Did we wisely to order Silk Hose especially dyed to go with above-quoted Silks? Fourth. —Was it reckless to contract for 1,000 pairs Ooze Calf Slippers, to order in any shade? Fisth.—Were we properly informed when onr Paris agent wrote “Feather and gauze fans for 18897" We imported according to his Judgment. Sizth—Wi0 the sales of fine Lace and French Em- broidered Handkerchiefs warrant our late lange im- portation? THE PALAIS ROYAL asks these questions very anxiously, because the goods quoted were selected with a view of being worn together, and were made, in many instances, to our special order. Large quantities were ordered, so that the lowest possible prices might be quoted, and thus make the Palais Royal the head- quarters for Evening Goods, Will it be so? THE PALAIS ROYAL.

The accumulation of Short Lengths, Odd Sizes, Broken Lots, &c., from the Christmas trade has turned out to be larger than was at first expect- ed, and notwithstanding the quantities sold dur- ing New Year's week we yet have an unusually large accumulation, and in order to thoroughly clear the stock of such remnants and place the departments in proper shape for our Grand January Sales of New Goods, we shall offer them at extraordinary low remnant prices. We call particular attention to the “SHORT LENGTHS" OF COLORED DRESS Goons, which in point of immensity, variedness and de- sirableness surpasses all we have ever yetshown onany previous one day.

We shall also offerextraordinary inducements in “Short Lengths” of Wash Fabrics, of which we pave an unusually large quantity, and in very desirable lengths, viz: 2,000 yards of Century Cloth (old-time calico) in lengths from 2 to 13 yards, These are in choice dark colorings and very desirable for aprons, wrappers, dresses and for making bed- comforts.
