THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON: TUESDAY... ..Rebruary 26, 1589. CROSBY Ss. NOYES... . Editor, ‘THE EVENING STAR has the fullest Local Circulation of any Newspaper in the World, and as an Advertising Medium is worth in Wi While friends of Ireland behold the ruin that has befallen the fame of the Lon- don Times for truth and credibility, they should not lose sight of the opportunities that are born of Mr. Parnell’s great triumph. The reputation of the great newspaper, built up solidly through a century of steadfast ser- vice and unexampled ability in political discussion, has now fallen. Its collapse removes one of Ireland's most powerful ene- mies. With the loss of popular faith in their organ the tory party must wage their battle with disadvantages, while from this time on ‘Mr. Parnell will be indorsed with a power more @olossal than ever to his foes. The London News says of him in words that appeal to the universal sense of justice: “If he clears his character Englishmen will rember the patient dignity, gentie forbearance and unflinching courage with which the great- est living Irishman has borne himself under a storm of calumny which would have broken many a brave spirit. He will forever rank am most devoted, sagacious, loyal and = Eye tatesmen that ever steered a country storm and peril to honor and safety. jor will the names of Walsh and Egan go wilt out their due meed of praise.” Just at this juncture, when public opinion is at white heat, the golden chance has come for Ireland. The friends of Parnell must sustain him. If they are ready and wise, they can strike a blow for bome-rule that will carry the day. The first need is a generous contribution to the Parnell defense fund. The unequal con- test Ireland’s champion has fought so bravely should be the battle of every friend of the country, and only by sharing with him the pecuniary cost of his defense can they do their full share of patriotic duty. After that there will follow such a victory for Ireland and for English liberty as the world has waited long to see. The Salisbury government should expect to go, the Crimes act must be repealed, and home rule be assured. The failure of the Times is the resuit of a mighty wager of bat- tle. The Salisbury government pinned its faith on the Times and joined forces with it. Ireland put its trust in Parnell. The result is the defeat not only of the Times but the tory | party, and the fruits of the victory should be as positive as if instead of the investigation a | popular election had gone against the tories or a vote in parliament had been adverse. If pub-| lic opinion in England bends to the blast that has fallen upon it the time will not be long be- fore the Parnellites will not be treated as crimi- | hals. and the vindictive persecution of which the world has read in the past few weeks will come toanend. England, too, has an oppor- | tunity in the situation. | —— The meetings of citizens last night in feed and South Washington, considered in connec- | tion with the numerous previous meetings of organizations in the other sections of the city, indicate the popular strength of the protest against Mr. Webb's confirmation. The repub- lican organizations al! over the District oppose him. The leaders of the local democrats and the bulk of that party in the District are hostile to him, though he is supported by a little band of democratic officials and their satellites, who have been denominated “the Cleveland clique.” Without regard | to political opinions East, Central and South | Washington are almost toa man against him | on account of sectional discrimination and sub- | serviency to a railroad corporation which is | permitted to violate the law and damage the city with impunity. The most northwestern corner of the northwest section, the section , especially favored by him, might be expected | to return the compliment; but even there many | citizens disapprove his confirmation, influenced ither by political considerations or by the feel- ing that he lacks the necessary executive abil- ity. It is perfectly evident from every sponta- neous indication of public sentiment on the subject that if the question of Mr. Webb's re- appointment were submitted to a popular vote | in the District he would be overwhelmingly re- | Jected. ee Benjamin Harrison, the next President of the | United States, is with us, and very clearly the inaugural season is close at hand. General, Senator, and President-elect Harrison is no stranger in Washington. With intimate know!- | edge of previous conditions of the city, he can | Rote with appreciative admiration recent and wonderful improvements in the ap-/ pearance of the capital His acquaint-| ence as a senator with District affairs | fits him to become an admirable governor of | the District of Columbia and mayor of Wasb- | ington, which official positions fall to him with that of President of the United States. The great responsibilities and opportunities which Ue before him in the administration of national | effairs will not, it is confidently believed, divert | the incoming President from the thoughtful | and interested consideration of his duties to this community as its municipal as well as fede- | ral executive officer. $$ —__ It is proposed for the city of Cincinnati to | have a municipal government in which but one executive official shall be elective and that one the mayor. for the good government of the city wholly on one man, carrying to an extreme the theory of improving municipal government by concen- | trating executive responsibility. The rest of the government, except the aldermen, 1s to be appointive. There would seem to be a very wide and open door to misgovernment with so | much patronage at the disposal of one man. | But the mayor is to have a large salary (€10,000), which may remove temptation, while if he goes wrong the petition of twenty free holders will take him before the supreme court for investigation for malfeasance, $$ ‘The nation and the capital want the $6,- 000,000 library building. It will be cheaper in the long run than the inferior building, and | will st once meet satisfactorily the purposes for which it is designed, and be creditable to the republic in appearance snd interior ar- rangement. No smaller amount can erect such @ structure. $e Sorosis, New York’s famous woman’ 's club, is twenty-one Years old, and yet it caunot vote. poet aaa Upon the Canadian Pacific they are enter- prising. They want women, and the road ad- vertises ‘passengers’ return rebate marriage certificates.” $< <a There will be something in the White House Tuesday morning that its walls have not wit- nessed for years. That will be the observance of family worship. None of our Presidents have failed to recognize the hand of Almighty God in the affairs of state; few, however, have been habitual in their dependence upon Divine guidance. Mr. E. D. Morgan, of New York, is to be brought to dock for the inhumane practice of docking his blooded horses. Thirty of them were subjected to this barbarons freak of equine fashion, and the authorities propose to make 4m example of their owner. —— Pennsylvania was first to fly the new flag with 42 stars, and it waves over the capitol at Har- Fisburg. Long may it wave. —————— Piggott has destroyed the last hope of the tory party by coufessing the crime of forgery and sbsconding. The Times should now offer to play another trump card. This plan puts the responsibility | . Hoss To Mex. SUPPLIES FOR THE FOURTH. THE FASHIONABLE DRESS FOR PROMENADE AND FOR THE BALL. THE CORRECT NECKWEAR. “Thelatest style Tie for evening wear ar¢ these Bows,” said the polite young salesman, displaying the Goods before the writer. The Bow is of White Lawn and is ready tied, the ends scarcely showing: a rubber band and slide at the back making it easily adjustable, toany size neck, while the metal arrangement con- cealed in front fixes it immovable on the collar-button. 25e. each are these Bows. Also shown are the black and white Satin and Silk Bows at 25c., and the Satin and Lawn Ties—the Lawn is specially manufactured for Ties, and will not easily come untied. They sell 10c. each, or 3 for 25c. For street wear correct shapes are the improved knot, the four-in-hand and modified puff scarf. The new shades comprise old rose, gobelin blues, several shades of grays—in fact, all the art shades are shown. The. Patterns of plaids, stripes, figures, &c., sre so varied that an object lesson is the more practical. You will see displayed in the window, corner of 12th st. and Penna. ave., the largest variety of neckwear yet shown in thiscity, The ticket affixed reads; ‘London, 1889, Advanced spring styles 50 cents each.” It may be written of these scarfs, as of the other men’s furnishings, that, while the Palais Royal may demand prompt pay of all its patrons, it offers in re- turn values for the prices that make it apparent its ‘strictly cash system enables smaller profits than nec- essary to the merchants who credit. THE FULL DRESS SHIRT. “Gentlemen are not always led by fashion's dictate,” said the clerk, “but this is the fashionable dress shirt.” A shirt was shown of pique with embroidered figures of tiny dimensions, not easily defined. The price marked on was $1.50. The “Palais Royal” Dress Shirts, with plain and plaited fronts, marked #1, are shown with three differeut lengths of sleeves to each neck size,so that these ready-made shirts can, with Feasou, be guaranteed to fit, THE NEW SHAPE COLLARS. ‘There are nine new shapes, of course standing col- Jars, some with the points turned over, and all of me- dium height. “The very high collar ts passe,” said the clerk. Price 15c. and 20c. each. 20c. and 25. a pair for cuffs are the “Palais Royal” prices for goods that certainly generally retail at higher prices. GLOVE FASHIONS FOR MEN.
