4 THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON. THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON: WEDNESDAY...... .... March 20, 1589. CROSBY &, NOYEs. . Editor. ———— THE EVENING STAR has tne fullest Local Cireulation of any Newspaper in the World. and as am Advertising Medium is worth mere than all the other papers published tm Washington. ————————— The first fruite of the defeat of the Webb- Stevenson deal, whose prospects of success threatened the District in the closing days of the last Congress, appear in the appoint- ment of Andrew C. Bradley, of the District, as District judge. The public, the bar association, and Tue Stan, among the local daily news- Papers, vigorously opposed the importation of @ political judge; disapproval of Mr. Webb and of the attempt of his friends to foist him. in combination with Mr. Stevenson, upon the Dis- trict, was general, and the deal happily failed to operate. It is with reference to judicial appointments that the construction of the home-rule pledge to the territories, including the District, has been most uncertain. The appointments made yes- terday by the President indicate unmistakably the general character of those which will follow. Purely local offices sustained solely by the fees of residents, like that of recorder of deeds, will unquestionably be given to local candi- dates. In regard to the Commissioners the law provides for the recognition of the home-rule principle. It says: “The civil Commissioners shall have been actual residents of the District of Columbia for three years next before their appointment and have during that period claimed residence nowhere else.” In the line of his action in reference to the judgeship, concerning which there is no statu- tory requirement, the President will undoubt- edly in the selection of Commissioners see to it that the spirit as well as the letter of the law are observed, and that men are chosen who are thoroughly identified by residence and interest with the District of Columbia, The people as © body ask no more than this. Any honest and intelligent bona side citizen will be acceptable tothem. The friends of the various local can- didates will doubtless cheerfully acquiesce in the selection of any such men to succeed the iucumbents. In the judgeship contest the sup- porters of unsuccessful local candidates do not parade any minor disappointment which they may feel, but heartily indorse the District man whom the President has chosen. So it will be with the civil Commissionership appointments, provided the incumbents are displaced and bona fide citizens of the District, of honesty and fair capacity, are selected. + Assessor Fish is removed and the whole com- munity breathes easier. Of course he could not officially survive the local administration with whose ®onduct he has identified himself and to which he has given tone. But in the very death struggles of that administration, he has aimed a blow at local interests, which the Commissioners at first approved. Since he might possibly do harm before the President had decided upon the successors to the exis ing Commissioners, his present removal is heartily applauded by the public. It is not known what has so suddenly and unexpectedly checked the current of the Commissioners’ in- dorsement of Mr. Fish. Their objection to him, since it is evidently of extremely recent origin, may be private and personal, but the public, which gets its due in this falling out among the District officials, does not care particularly what is the cause of the rupture. The Com- missioners gdd to their proud record as pro- tectors of the people, which found its first entry in the recent revocation of a@ rail- road permit, whatever credit they de- serve for bouncing their faithful friend. the assessor. The public thanks them for both acts, and only regrets that their con- Version from error, which has come in a flash like that of Saul of Tarsus, should have hap- pened so late in their official life. They are now surrounding themselves with a blaze of glory. They are radiant with the effulgence of conscious well-doing. Their halo has been greatly delayed in its arrival, but from its very newness and its sharp contrast with preceding darkuess it shines all the brighter. —— + The Albany papers are booming William H. Jobnson, « colored resident of that city, for the position of recorder of deeds in the District of Columbia, and blossom out in illustrated bio- graphical sketches of the distinguished candi- date. The cut printed by the Albany Express credits Mr. Johnson with a broad and bald ex- panse of intellectual forehead. If his head is really as level as the cut indicates, he will con- sider carefully the storm of indignation in this community which was raised by the appoint- ment as recorder of his fellow townsman the equally distinguished Mr. Matthews, resulting in the rejection of the latter's nomination, and will utilize his elaborate home indorsements in support of an application for the Albany post- office. On the strength of the showing made by his cut, his petition for the latter office will doubtless be largely signed by Washingtonians, if it shall be considered that the Albany post- Office is at all at their disposal. It may beas well, however, for both cities to take the Presi- dent at his word, and to refrain from meddling with the local appointments of a neighbor. a Sorosis has just celebrated its twenty-first birthday—so the New York papers say. But who is credulous enough to believe in such a miracle! Can an association possibly becomé twenty-one years old, whose charter members never pass the age of eighteen? a The interesting question, what constitutes “offensive partisanship”, ia likely to arise a good many times during the next few months, while the President and his advisers are shift- ing officers right and left, The Lilinois post- master, whose case is supposed to have occu- pied the attention of the cabinet at a recent meeting, and whose offense is understood to have been unnecessary activity in political matters, will probably be more than matched by his Pennsylvania cotemporary who is accused of the crime of refusing to let the flag be hoisted over his office when the news reached town of Mr. Harrison's nomination at Chicago. After many attempts to draw a distinct line fo the definition of the elusive term “offensive, the present administration will probably settle down to the course adopted by its immediate predecessor, and go it blind. There can be no doubt of the qualifica- tions of Whitelaw Reid for the French mis- sion, for ® man competent to conduct a great newspaper like the New York Tri- bune is qualified to fill any government position from the Presidency down. But the question is, who shall fill his place if he ac- cepts office? It is easy enough to pick up most auywhere a person competent to represent us at Londo” or Paris, as illustrated in the case of Minister Phelps, but the men that could be se- lected off-hand, qualified to fill Mr. Reid’s place, would not form a very large mass meeting. “Had I butserved the people of the District with half the zeal I served personally and to mine own discredit twoof the Commissioners, they would not in mine age have left me naked to mine enemies.” F ‘The papers continue to talk of “Speaker” Carlisle. it naturally takes some time to get out of a habit of four years’ standing. And yet nobody speaks now of “President” Cleveland. WATER IN THIS FILTER PASSES THROUGH NATURAL STONE. JEWETT FILTERS.

Have you noticed we've not said much lately about Shirt Waists? The reasons 's a good one—we haven't been ready. We're not in the habit of telling you what we're going to do—but what we'vedone, We're ready now, and here's the story: On shelves, under counters, in the stockrooms— everywhere—anywhere where there's a bit of space— we've piled them in. We’veas many shirt waists alone as the entire stock of the majority of boys’ and child- ren’s clothing departments represent, Sounds big—but it’s true. ‘The “Star” still leads—You like them, and you ought to, They are the most satisfactory in fit and finish of auy waist that’s made. Others may tell you differently. That's because we have the exclusive on them for the District, But the styles—They're beau- ties—The patterns are all new—prettier than ever. ‘We've got em in Percales and Flannels. Here’s a new one for us—Ladies’ Blouse Waista. We've not haudied them before—but we've gone into them this season like “old stagers.” They come in Flan- uel, Silk-fiuished Cassimere and in Lace-front Ducks. They're no% exactly “dress up” and still they are— ‘They're a kind of “always proper" affair, and that’s what ladies appreciate, We know you've had considerable difficulty—first and last—in getting Just what you've wanted in Chil- dren's Jersey Waists, We've provided the remedy, Our line is complete. THEY TRY, BUT THEY CAN'T DO IT. Great efforts have been made to duplicate our 10c. Collars and 15c, Cuffs. Scores of imitations have been thrustout, They've even tried to mislead by the style of box. But it's no use. Fine feathers don't make fine birds, and you must look at something else than the covering when you're buying Collars. The most of these imitations can be bought all over the country at 8c. OURS ARE MADE FOR US. We have proven them to be equal to any 20c. Collar that has ever been made, The Cuffs stand proportionately high. Compare ours with our imitators—you'll see the differ- ence at once. We guarantee them, and that means we will refund the money in every instance where they fail to “pan out” as represented. The styles are the latest, the Ait perfect, and our name is on every one.

It is seldom that such a staple line of fabrics as Black Silks are offered at leas than regular prices, and it is rarer yet that they are ever sold as low as we now offer them. It came about this way: One of the leading manufacturers found they were heavily overstocked, and to unload were forced to make concessions. Our New York resident-buyer made them an offer which was accepted, and here are the Silks. Be- cause of their low prices they are none the less reliable, and are guaranteed by us for durabil- ity, superior weave, lustrous Ginish, and general excellence. Prices: 1 Lot at 77 sc. per yard. 1 Lot at 87i¢c. per yard, 1 Lot at $1 per yard. 1 Lot at 81.1236 per yard, 1 Lotat $1.25 per yard. 1 Lot at $1.30 per yard. 1 Lot at 81.40 per yard. 1 Lotat 81.50 per yard 1 Lotat $1.65 per yard. 1 Lot at $1.80 per yard, 1 Lot at $2 per yard. 1 Lotat $2.15 per yard. We know it is possible to buy Black Silke any- where at these prices, and at even lower prices; but it is not the prices weare speaking about. It is the qualities for the prices that claim your attention. It doesn’t require an expert shopper to discern their great value. The most casual buyer can readily see that they are extraordinary bargains, It will pay you to anticipate your Wants fora year or two, as there is no danger of Black Silks ever becoming out of style, or being offered at lower prices, (First floor; second annex.)
