THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON: URS! THE EVENING STAR has tne fullest Local Cireulation of any Newspaper in the World, and as an Advertising Medium is worth mere than all the other papers published in Washington. ———————————————— Comptroller Durham construes the law to for- bid the employment of agents by the Commis- Sioners in purchasing school sites, and also to Prevent purchases by them through agents of the owners who are not regular real estate dealers, and who have not had the property for sale since the passage of the act. This con- Struction abolishes, as the law intended, the present intermediary, the confidential assistant of the Commissioners, who is not a regu- lar real estate dealer, and who gets him- self paid extravagant commissions by the owners for selling their property without their knowledge or consent to an alleged un- desirable purchaser. The Commissioners can buy from owners directly, from real estate agents who have not been sent out by the Dis- trict authorities to constitute themselves such in order to deceive their employers, or they can condemn the requisite ground if unreasonable prices are demanded. Information concerning property can, of course, be indirectly obtained by the Commissioners from friendly sources, and the unpaid services of a friend may even be utilized in closing a bargain, but this friend cannot also make himself the agent of the vendor at an extraordinary commission, or Btilize the information which he gains from the Commissioners to buy on his own account and sell at an advance to the District. ee The nation is really surprised to find how admirable, and how generally approved its course has been in relation to Samoan affairs. Australia bas given us an encouraging pat on the back, with a frown at England. The Eng- lish blue book on Samoan matters, just issued, indicates that England has been with us in the whole controversy, and has complained of Bis- mark's statement that she was advancing, “hand in hand” with Germany. It also appears from the Cologne Gazette that even Germany is with us, having “in 1887 in deference to American opposition abandoned the idea of the control of Samoan affairs being vested in a sin- gle power.” If these statements are facts the candidate of the Samoans for king of Samoa should be recognized, and the candidate kept in the field solely by German influence should be withdrawn, ee The provision of the District appropriations actin reference to electric lighting contains another blow at the overhead wires. It is en- acted that no part of the appropriation “shall be used for electric lighting after September 30, 1899, by means of wires that may exist on or over any of the streets or avenues of the cities of Washington and Georgetown.” Under general prohibition in respect to the over- d wires no acrial extensions can be made by the electric light companies; the Commission- ers are authorized to permit them to put their wires under grgund if they desire to do so; and after September 20 only underground wires can be used to do the pubiic lighting. Legis- lation in refereuce to the overhead wires moves slowly, but it moves steadily in direction. ee ee The selection of Col. Fred. Grant as minister to Austria will gratify the large and influential circle who especially reverence the memory of the dead general and President, and who en- tertain in common with the public generally, a kindly feeling towards his manly, modest and intelligent son. Our relations with Austria are not such as to require in our representative to that country a trained diplomat, and Col. Grant will undoubtedly perform his new duties ereditably to the republic and to himself, a i The pawnbrokers of the city may find some consolation under the stress of the new law, redneing the rate of interest they are allowed to charge. in the reflection that what is lost in the percentage of profit may be made up to them in the gross amount of business transacted. ‘The turning over of the government toa differ- ent party from the one that has administered ite affairs for the last four years, has already induced a rush of office-seekers toward Wash- ington. Many of them have not the money to getaway after their applications have been definitely denied. Their only hope of avoiding the melancholy task of walking home rests on their ability to raise a loan on an overccat or a watch or the gold-headed cane presented by admiring constituents in their own district. ‘This means plenty of trade for the pawnbrok- ers, and how long it continues will depend upon the new President's power of resisting pressure. $$$ The long delay in throwing Oklahoma open to white settlement has driven the “boomers” to desperation. They pay no attention to the prohibition put upon present entry and occupa- tion, although the penalty is the invalidation of any entries they may make while matters are in their present stage. The excitement, it is safe to say, will notdie out with the rush which follows the President's proclamation opening the territory. This will be only the beginning. The quarrels which will come later between the settlers themselves, over conflict- ing land titles, jumped claims and the like, will be bloodier than any that have taken place, or are likely to take plaee, between the soldiers and civilians. No-Man’s Land is likely to re- main no-man’s land fora good while to come, as far as concerns any man’s ability to ascertain positively what he owns, Apropos of a domestic incident which is just Row agitating the social atmosphere of two cities, the obvious comment is that the matter has been most sensibly treated by the parents of the Uride. ‘The course they have pursued ha nipped in the bud what might have ripened tuto a glowing “sensation.” aud affords an ex- cellent example to the fathers and mothers of other young persons who are so indiscreet as to resort to roundabout methods for doing that which could have been done directly just as well, >—— ‘Mz. Luch’s house and woodshed, encamber- ing ® government reservation, must go! It may as well be understood that the United | States will permit no private encroachments | Upon its property, except such as are com- mitted by the railroads at wholesale, through illegal tracks and standing cars, <a Young King Alexander has written to his mother, Queeu Natalie, to stay away from Ser- via, as her presence there would render his position very trying. Dear! dear! what a pro- gressive age it is, when we Lear such language from a lad of thirteen! Children of larger growth sometimes, for moral or social reasons, ent their near relatives off their visiting list, but the little boy not yet out of kuee-breeches would scarcely ever think of drawing the line at bis mother. 9 The personal altercation between Deputies Polonyi and Kroitsik, of the Hungarian dict, is likely to end ina duel. The exact cause of the quarrel is uot stated, but probably it was polit- ical dyspepsia on both sides, A diet with such pair of names in it is enough to ruin the digestion of any body politic, If ex-President Clevelend joins the Tammany society, Gen. Bragg will have to shake his long forefinger at the County Democracy the next time he tells how “we love him for the enemies he bas made.” Seite THE EVENING ‘STAR: WASHINGTON ¢ As Taz Masr Visrrors Pre vented Ladies from seeing our display of PARISIAN DEESS GOODS, WRAPS, snd MILLINERY, we will continue the same during FRIDAY at Parlors C and D, ARLINGTON HOTEL.
