THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON: ‘THE EVENING STAR has tne fullest Local Cireulation of any Newspaper in the Werld, avd as an Advertising Medium is worth mere than all the other papers published fe Washington. “tin th ieee seabed eee suggested that the District's surplus should be devoted to the payment of its million dollars indebtedness ou account of the work on the aqueduct. Mr. Hemphill very pertinently replied: before the District pays avy money on that ac- count there ought to be instituted an investiga- tion to see whether the government of the United States has not swindled the people of this District out of a great deal of that money. we have misappropriated the money designed for the construction of that tunnel is by the fault of officials of the United States government that this misappropriation has hap- pened, and it is not right to it our sins upon | the people of this District.” Mr. Heard said om the same subject: “I understand two mil- lions of dollars were wasted upon that tunnel and one million comes out of the treasury of the District of Columbia, though the waste oc- curred through no fault of hers, but by the negligence or misconduct of those | acting for the government.” The situ- ation of affairs is accurately stated by these Representatives. The District suffers for lack of an increased water supply and has been thus suffering for the many months during which the cost of the tunnel has been swelling enormously beyond the | original estimates without swelling the water supply. It has not the water, nor any imme- diate prospect of getting it, but it has a bill for | a@ million dollars, presented by the United | States! This bill represents work not con- tracted for by the District and from which it | derives no benefit. Ifthe agents of the gov-| ernment had performed their duty, either the tunnel would have been so constructed as to be werviceable in the first instance. or security | wonld have been obtained from contractors that bad work should be made good. By the fraud of contractors and inspectors aud the criminal negligence of the direct agentsof the government the work is worthless, and no adequate security for making it good has been obtained. It is open to the United States to punish by court-martial or by | indictment the persons who have defrauded it and the agents who failed in the duty of pre- venting the fraud. If by the government's own acts through its agents the United States are placed in a position where a work costing two millions must be abandoned and a new plan adopted, let the government punish its unfaithful agents and pay the bills which their unfaithfulness has caused. The District has enjoyed no increase in its water supply. and is uot responsible for the rotten tnnnel, which it is proposed to abandon. The bill for a million dollars should be withdrawn. ‘The taking of the next census is a matter of | great importance to the future of the country. It comes when the control of the government is passing completely from one party to another, and when, by the admission of new | states and the reapportionment of congres- sional districts it will be possible for the party im power to perpetuate its dominance for many years. It is important that the work should be done judiciously and well. If the census bureau were a continuing office in the government with appropriations availa- ble for special inquiries into social, industrial and economic facts much of the work included | im the lust census could be accomplished separately from the decennial census and thereby undoubtedly be of much greater value, while the enumeration of population would be | left as @ principal and distinct undertaking | much more likely to be done well. There will be but half the number of printed volumes in the next census, and many of the topics of in- quiry of the last will be omitted. But there should be no omission in certain respects. ‘The | growth of corporations and the conditions that | breed trust should be included, while the growth and distribution of debts owing by corporations should be carefully ascertained. a The student of peculiarities will observe one quite peculiar thing in the coming inaugura- tion. When the retiring President and the President-elect ride down the Avenue together to take part in the momentous transfer of power from one great party to another it will be the first time but one in sixty years that the candidates of two great parties have shared as leading figures i the inaugural event. Martin Van Buren rede side by side with William Henry Harrison at the inauguration of the latter in 1841, and Andrew Jackson rode with John Quincy Adams at bis first inauguration in 1829. In no other instance has the outgoing president been the defeated candidate of his party. It is a notice- able circumstance also that in these two like events since Jacksons’s time the successful men should be grandfather and grandson whose namesbuve both been associated distinctively with the history of the state of indiana, while the unsuccessful men were both New Yorkers and and from the same school of democratic rn certs 8, The tides of immigration during the past few years have been shifting. The rapid set- tlement of the unocenpied lands of the United States bas served to deter many thousands from leaving their homes in Europe to come here. Still the volume of immigration has been larger than ever. What it would have been can only be conjectured, for immigration obeys to a considerable degree the laws of geo- metrical progression. But Mexico has afforded for thousands.of European peasantry | i during = the past year, while the various African colonies are growing —— by immigration. The different South American conntries have been receiving large accessions of population from across the Atlantic. This week a shipload of Irish emi- grants sailed for the Argentine Republic. In the last three years Argentine has welcomed upwards of 350,000 European immigrants, Chili has now become a bidder for the surplus hu- manity of Europe and ix sending her immigra- tion agents abroad. For the United States these conditions are salntary. The time bas come for a Fre Fe T= on, Day.

FRENCH KID GLOVES. Do you know howto teil real French loves? SMELL THEM. The imitations | of lamb and calf skin have anything but an agreeable odor. The real French kid have, FEEL THEM. The imitations have not the springy, elastic nature of the French kid. The lamb and calf will stretch indefi- nitely—ft well first time, but soon are shapeless. SEE THEM with a critical eye, and you will notice the difference in the grain of the skin—the real, fine and close; the imitation, coarse and spongy. “96 CENTS A PAIR.” Have you ever secured Real French Kid Gloves at 96c. a pair?
