It is therefore useless to send them ‘The setion of the moeting of bankers and railroad presidents in New York on the interstate commerce bill is one of the most important steps yet taken in the country have now declared frankly and unmis- takably their support of the interstate law. In conferring with Judge Cooley, Judge Walker, and Mr. Morrison, of the Commission, and pro- viding for an interstate tion of rail- road officials, they show that the law has its ad- vantages for railroads as well as for those who use them. When the long discussion on the interstate law was going on in Congress the burden of every argument was that the must be protected from the railroads. It was the railroads who were supposed to fear the bill. Now that the law is in operation it is seen that it is in many respects what the railroads want. ‘The secret is that it not only protects the people from the exactions of the railroads, but it protects the roads from themselves, Their own quarrels are now to be, according to their own plan, which the interstate commissioners approve, the subject of arbitration before a tribunal of their own erection. Beyond this A part of the past contentment of the railroads with the interstate law has probably been due to the fact that they have utilized to the full extent those provisions which have been to their advantage, but have in many instances evaded and violated the provisions designed especially for the protection of the people. If ® profounder view of self-interest, derived from experience of the cut-throat competition which has resulted from certain violations of the law, and the recent warnings and threats of the interstate commissioners induce a gen- eral determination to co-operate in the enforce- | ment of the law as an entirety, a distinct | advance will be made. SE The architects of Boston are all in a flutter over the stingy proposal of the governor's couneil to award prize of $1,500 to the maker of the best set of competitive plans for a pro- | $1 posed extension to the state house, which would cost, at the least,some hundreds of thousands of dollars. The sum offered would pay for the plain working drawings of « $60,000 structure, without allowing anything for in- terior detail, and it is hardly to be wondered AN EXCEPTION TO A RULE PROVES THE ‘TRUTH OF BARGAINS READING MORE LIKE FICTION THAN TRUTH. A CHAIN OF CIRCUMSTANCES THAT ENABLES THE PALAIS ROYAL TO OFFER $50,000 WORTH OF MANUFACTURERS’ “BROKEN LOTS.” BARGAINS UNPARALLELED IN WASHINGTON. ‘The Palais Royal is an exception to the rule because merchants generally strictly cash business, The Palais Royal is an excep- tion im being able to buy winter goods at this season, thus a ehaiu of circumstances enables the Palais Royal to make iumense and marvelously advantageous pur- chases. The first link in the chain was forged when reduced prices were quoted before Xinus, The second link is the money im hand owing to the cash sales. The third link im being able to purchase winter goods now.

Econ- omy of that sort is the poorest investment a care of one’s estate. In the end, the inferior intellectual commodity costs more than that which sets a fair price on itself and gives some- thing worth having in exchange for the money. ‘The meeting of citizens to take concerted ac- tion in reference to Rock creek park, held at the Atlantic building last night, was a success. It ie evident that the need of such a park for Washington, both asa large and growing city and as the capital of the nation, is thoroughly appreciated by thoughtful residents. Both the city’s fatare healthfufness and beauty are in- volved in the project. The hearty indorse- ment of the general plan by the representa tives of so many diverse interests, and the agreement by them to give it earnest and vig- orous support. furnish convincing evidence that the movement is toadvance the public interests and not merely those of individual citizens, There may be minor differences of opinion as to the most effective method of se- curing the desired legislatio: yat there isa general agreement that Washington needs and must have this park, and that to obtain it prompt, vigorous, and united action is essen- tial. Last night's meeting marks a notable stride in the course which leads inevitably to success, ———— Gov. Hoard, the milkman executive of Wis- consin, has furnished a suggestion to the cler- gymen who have charge of the dancing at the inauguration ball. He opened his own ball with a square dance. Next to square meal nothing is 0 good to open an administration with as. square dance.

Aword about these reductions, We never Dame a special or reduced price for a day or week; nor do we ever reduce a price on an article and then put the price up again later. When we reduce the price it remains reduced until the goods are sold; consequently these shirts can ‘be bought at the reduced prices so long as the lots hold out. When the new improved shirts arrive their prices of course will be the fo/mer prices of our regular lines.
