Norzs, ‘Treasurer Evening Star Newspaper Co. Subscribed and sworn to before me this eleventh day of March, A. D. 1889. Joun T. O. Crank, Notary Public. Note.—Since the last weekly report was published, showing the edition of Saturday, March 2, to have been 43,054, an additional number, amounting to 4,405 have been sold, making the total edition of that date, up to the present time, 47,459 copies. The sale of Mondays and Tuesdays papers (4th and 5th respectively) still continues, and the above figures will be largely increased, of which due note will be made in the next weekly statement, F. BN. Attention was called recently by a correspond- ent of Tue Star to the fact disclosed by the evidence in the Taulbee investigation that the middleman in certain of the real estate pur- chases made by the Commissioners for the Dis- trict was an alien, and the question was raised whether title to the property in these cases was not stillin the vendor from whom the alien purchased. It is stated by some of the real estate lawyers of the city that the title in these cases is neither retained by the alien’s vendor, nor does it pass through the alien to the District, but that it was forfeited to the United States at the mo- ment when the property was conveyed to the alien, and that an act of Congress is necessary to perfect the title. The law, which wasapproved March 3, 1887, provides ‘that it shall be unlaw- ful for any person or persons, not citizens of the United States, or who have not lawfully declared their intention to become such c zens, * * * to hereafter acquire, hold, or own real estate so hereafter acquired, or any inter- est therein, in any of the territories of the United States or in the District of Columbia; and “that all property acquired, held or owned in violation of the provisions of this act shall be forfeited to the United States, and it shall be the duty of the Attorney-General to enforce every such forfeiture by bill in equity or other proper process.” It was subsequent to the approval of this law that the purchases were made by the alien middleman. If the construction given to the law is correct, when the District bought certain school sites with money contributed in part by the local tax- payers it purchased property which was for- feited to the United States and which the Attorney-General was authorized to recover. The Commissioners are of course responsible for the general system of employing middlemen, which exposes the Dis- trict to the danger of this and other complica- tions of title, but the opinion is expressed that the blame for this apparent entanglement rests not so much upon the Commissioners as upon the assistant attorney for the District, who testified that in most cases he made an indi- vidual investigation as to whether the middle- man’s title was good and unincumbered. It is stated that under the new administra- tion the territorial offices will be filled with residents of the territories. The same rule is applicable and will doubtless be applied to Dis- trict appointments. In the case of local of- fices, pure and simple; like the recordership of deeds, for which no special training is neces- sary, and of which the compensation is fur- nished entirely by District property-own- ers, there can be no question of the applica- tion of the rule. In the case of judicial ap- pointments the rule has not been rigidly en- forced in the territories. If it be true that in any of the territories the local bar is not suffi- ciently strong to supply the best material for such appointments, the case is not the same in the District, whose lawyers are numerous and able. In regard to such offices, which are not purely local, a consideration of the character of the duties to be performed supplies addi- tional arguments in favor of @ local appoint- ment. —— =» + Gen. Harrison has discovered something. It is in the nature of a reform. His predecessors have been in the habit of kissing babies, but he ebucks them under the chin, tickles them slightly, and gracefully moves them on to make way for the rest of the procession of visitors, To tickle a baby instead of kissing it is just the thing. The baby is none the wiser and the mother is hardly conscious of any difference, while the real victim enjoys a delicious inward sense of relief and escape. This is the first master-stroke of the new administration. 2 Andrew H. Green, the old controller of New York and the friend of the late Samuel J. Til- den, has again advanced the proposition which has been @ cherished hope of his for many years in regard to the boundaries of the com- mercial metropolis. His aim is to take under one government all the territory whose growth ise of the program of the city proper. He Seal ae it a legislature Pom dhans ipo Bismarck requires those who send registered letters to him to put their names on the back. President Harrison would do well to think over that little detail. ——— <a The protest against the retention of Attorney- General Webster in his office is the most natural thing in the world. Knowing as he must have known the utter insecurity of the London Times in its position he was hardly less crimi- nal than Pigott in going on with the case. So long as he holds his office it and the govern- ment will bear an incubus of disgrace. —————— ings, and Views of the City.

Rosrssox, Punser & Cos Porters As between American and Foreign Woolens the question of superiority is an entirely open one, and preference is largely regulated by personal taste or prejudice. Those who are interested in the sale of foreign goods claim that there is some chemical property in the European waters used for dyeing that is lacking in the waters of this country, ang therefore the foreign goods are fast in color and—they claim—American fabrics often change. Our experience, however, teaches us that for downright honest wear and safety of color American Woolens hold their own against the world; but the advance styles of Spring Suits that are now coming in represent the finest prod- ucts of Home and Foreign looms, constructed ‘under our immediate supervision into Sack and Cutaway Suits of irreproachable style and abso- Jutely perfect-fitting properties.

The change from heavy winter Underwear to summer- weight Underwear is invariably accompanied with bad results in the matter of health.
