4 WASHINGTON: SBE EVENING STAR bas the fullest Local Circulation ef any Newspaper in the World. and as an Advertising Mediam is worth The harm done ® President is serious. Four days after a President is inaugurated his hand is generally so lame that be can scarcely write; the swellii often does not go down for da: ‘The dread that « refusal to shake hands will be held aris- nonsense. grown to thousands. A few years hence there will be tens of thousands, ‘The habit must Stop some time, Why not stop it now?” The Philadelphia Press thus vigorously en- dorees Tue Stan's contention in respect to Presidential promiscuous handshaking. When the President is in fact introduced to a new ac- quaintance to be developed by conversation, he must and will, of course, shake hands like any other American under similar circumstances, Bat there is no acquaintance-making in shaking bauds machine-like with thousands of people in the course of a day, whose names and faces eaxnot possibly impress themselves upon the it, and with whom no conversation whatever is exchanged. To the crowd the oc- easion means merely un opportunity to see and touch the President. To the latter it means the endurance of a series of hand pressures and arm oscillations at intervals of a fow seconds until he becomes exhausted or the pain from the steady strain upon a few musclee becomes umbearable. When the purpose of the visitor is not to come into intellectual contact with the President as a business or social acquaintance, Dat merely to have the satisfaction of studying the face and general bearing of the highest pub- lie servant, and especially when such a vis- itor is accompanied by a hundred or thous- and others on a similar mission, he should be satisfitd if opportunity is given to secure an inspection of the President. If physical con- tactwith the President is absolutely essential in the case of every one of the multitude who call merely “to pay their respects,” that official will undoubtedly be driven by the vastly in- creasing numbers of inaugural visitors to im- plore the multitude to vary the form of the terture which they inflict. When his hand and arm have become swollen and inflamed to a certain degree he may, with reason, petition his host of visitors to gratify their requirement of physical contact by treading lightly upon his foot or by giving him a mild pinch as a substi- tute for handshaking. The new constitution of Japan is working satisfactorily. The latest advices say the people are pleased with it and the Mikado is happy too. All the princes are flattered at being lords of the upper branch of the legislature and their elective brethren are getticg along nicely. It is usually safe to put old wine in new bottles. Edison's light patents are void-in Canada be- cause his invention was not manufactured in the Dominion within a year after the issue of the patent. International patent law is the worst mixed up mess in existence, and the Wizard should invent something that will comb it out. Inter-state commerc: come to be a serious thing. The amendments adopted in the last hours of Congress make it possible to imprison ag well as fine any official of a railroad who vio- lates the law in regard to discrimination in rates and charges. Under-billing also falls in the same category of prisonable offenses, Railroad managers are reading the law with a good deal of concern. They have paid the light fines hitherto imposed without hesitation and gone on violating the law systematically. ‘The complainant against unjust charges now has & new weapon and it is really alarming. ‘There iv a sort of commercial conscience which justifies the violation of law and the payment of a fine, but prison bars and damp cell walls have the terrors of disgrace for such offenders ‘that nothing else can have. While England has set apart $100,000,000 to baild more new armored vessels the United States has decided this year to spend one- tWentieth of that sum. To some the difference seems suicidal on the part of this country. But a tll THER EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON. D.C., SATURDA’ THE EVENING STAR.

The many flattering remarks were expecially ‘@ source of great satixfaction, Que would say: “What a beautifully decorated store, it is indeed Scredit to the city;” others would compareit favorably with any of the largest cities; and still others would praise the order and system, the beautifully decorated ceiling, und so on. ‘What s contrast to not more than twelve years ago when Washing touiaus were compelled to order their supplies froin New York; there isno necessity for this any more, for with the general improvement im all lines of trade Washington can rival her big sister cities, ‘Take as sn illustration the newspapers. ‘What evening paper excels “The Evening Star™ The power to elevate or to lower the standard of our morals and thought is a mighty One.
