4 WASHINGTON: March FRIDAY. CROSBY &. NOYES... . Editor, —————————————————— ‘TBE EVENING STAR has tne fullest Local Cireulation of any Newspaper im the World, and as an Advertising Medium is werth more than all the other papers published in Washington. ————————————— When the United States resolved to extend the water-works system of the capital, and the bill for that purpose was passed, the work was undertaken as a national project at government expense, just as the original system was con- structed. There was no requirement that the people of the District should pay any portion of the expense, and evidently the work was originally authorized without any contract, express or implied, and without any suggestion or expectation, that any part of the cost would fall upon the District. Two years later as an afterthought the United States indicated to the District through Congress that the water- takers of the city, who might naturally be ex- pected to profit by an increased water supply, would be required to contribute to the cost of sideration upon which this exaction was based has failed. The government, through the mis- conduct of its own agents, has wasted millions without increasing the water supply. There is no just and reasonable ground upon which the District or its water-takers can be required to Pay one-half of the two millions which the government has sunk in a rotten tunnel. The work which the District in a measure requested ‘Was, as shown by the original legislation, to be done entirely at the national expense. No in- terference by agents of the District, which might bring upon it a share of respon- sibility for the manner in which the work has been done, has been suggested or permitted by the agents of the United States, The work has bestowed no benefit upon the water-takers of the District which should raise an implied promise to pay. The government has been cheated. It has been caused to spend two million dollars with no valuable results. It should punish those who have defrauded it, and those who per- mitted the fraud to be accomplished. Then it should accept full responsibility for the loss and meet italone. To wring a million dollars from the water-takers or taxpayers of the Dis- trict, when they have not requested the work at the District's expense, are not responsible in the slightest degree for the misconduct which rendered the work worthless, and re- ceive not a cent’s worth of benefit from it, is tocommit a wrong as great as that of which those persons are guilty who in the construc- tion of the tunnel have swindled the govern- ment. The nation has beenrovbed. Will it in its turn rob the District? The list of office-seekers, as it swells from day to day, contains names of a good many able men. Some are rich and want official honors for social reasons. This class is few. It should be quickly and easily gratified by the Destowal of unsalaried positions as far as pos- sible. The rest of the list embraces men who are not rich, but consider themselves able to earn a good living. Many of them would scorn to admit that they could not command an income much larger than they will receive if they succeed in their desire to get into of- fice. Why they should prefer an official salary to their independent earnings is one of the in- seratable idiosyncracies of human nature. There should be sympathy and compassion for this class of fellow creatures. They are vic- tims of their weakest traits of character, like the chain that is no stronger than its feeblest Iimk. They become beggars and prisoners, when they might be as free and independent as kings. $< a Garfield's grave seems to be in somewhat the some danger of ignominious sale as Mary Wash- ington’s, The Cleveland cemetery isin debt, end the complaint is made that rich folks do not die fast enough to keep the place up in good style, There is a pitiful irony in the in- cident. President Harri oldest of all our Presidents, but it is doubtful if any cabinet ever contained so many mature men as the new one. Its average age is fifty-seven years and five months, The President himself is fifty-five, four years older than his prede- cessor. Mr. Windom is sixty-two, Mr. Blaine, Gov. Rusk and Mr. Tracy, fifty-nine; Gov, Proctor, fifty-eight, and Mr. Noble, fifty-seven. Mr. Wanamaker is fifty-two and Mr. Miller, forty-eight. Cleveland sought youngish men for his advisers. Gen. Grant, youngest of ofall the Presidents, followed the same rule. Gen. Harrison's cabinet as a body is composed of robust, practical men, capable of doing a large amount of official work without the strain and nervous wear and tear that broke down many of their more youthful predecessors, notably those in Mr. Cleveland's cabinet, ————— Senator Ingalls has dorned the vice-presi- dential office of President of the Senate. His election a second time to that honor is there- THE EVENING STAR. | Tas 12: Isrextst Yoo Axo You NEIGHBORS. Our talk to-day rightfully belongs to the chil- Gren, but we shall have to emeroach upon their ‘space a little, as there are two or three other important matters we want to note. Will give them the “right of the line,” however. CHILDREN'S DEPARTMENT. ‘Bince last week we've filled im the remaining styles of those all-wool m iddle-weight Suite— ‘now these lines are complete. We manufacture ourselves the best that can be made, and we add to that the best that others can make. ‘Where are you going to find s finerand more extensive display? It can’t be produced. ‘Mothers who want to dress their children ele- gantly and stylishly will find us fully equipped tosupply them with such garments, If you haven't been in to see us fora week or more, you'd hardly know us to-day—such changes have taken place. Those English Reefing Jackets make an exceedingly serviceable and comfortable garment for s boy at this time. Better get your son one. GENTLEMEN'S SPRING OVERCOATS. ‘We feel it our duty to say a word or two about this stock, Lots of you are on the lookout for our announcements from this department, Two ‘words will describe it-ELEGANT and COM- PLETE. There are between forty and fifty dif- ferent styles—and at all prices—from $6 to $35. At$6 we can give you ® good garment. Of course, it won't be silk-lined, but it has been made with » view of giving satisfactory serv- ice—and that’s what you want, At $35 we've done ourselves proud—The garments we've turned out at this price discount = majority of “made to measure” costs—and no mistake— ‘There can be nothing richer than these—In be- tween the limits, at $8, $10, $12, $15, $18, $20 and 825, arecrowded qualities that even we have not been able to produce heretofore—Taken from the cheapest to the highest priced there's ‘not a garment but what we are proud to own as ours, HATS, A new hat and a new cost go together. Natu- rally you'd expect to find our Spring Hat stock complete—and so you will, The Silk Hats, the Derbys—for men, and the innumerable variety of Hats and Caps for children—are all here. We know that we've got the lightest, best and cheap- est Silk Hat in this city, and what's true of these is true also of the balance of our goods in this Department, NECKWEAR. Here, again we are particularly fortunate in the results of our purchases for tlie spring sea- son, Wedon’t care where you go—in this city or outside—you can’t find » Neckwear display at 75c. and $1 that will equal ours at 50c. We don’t say this idly, but advisedly. We know ‘what we are talking about. The variety couldn't be greater. The qualities are equal to anything Offered at 75c. and $1,and the patterns are original, the tints and shades new, To equal them would be hard; to excel them impossible.
