4 THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTOD THE EVENING STAR has the fullest Local Circulation of any Newspaper in the World. and as an Advertising Medium ts worth more than all the other papers published in Washington. —_ The resignation of Senator Chace brings once more to the front the question whether mem- bers of Congress ought to have their pay in- creased. It is urged in behalf of such a change thata man like Mr. Chace cannot afford to come to Congress. But suppose the salary of & Senator were raised to ten thousand dollars, as has been proposed: could Mr. Chace any better afford to come to Washington? He is a mill-owner and an active business man. When he leaves home his business suffers; and, if the session lasts more than a few weeks, ten thou- sand dollars are not going to compensate him for his trouble and the loss, direct and indirect, which falls upon him. The full cost of his ex- eursion into politics cannot be esti- mated. Any man of first-rate capacity anyone really filling the measure of the statesman who figured in the minds of the framers of the Constitution as a maker of laws for the republic—must be content to take a part of his compensation in public life in the honor of being chosen by his fellow-citizens to administer their affairs. The larger the salary, after we pass the point of what is necessary for the support of a pradent man and his family in respectable style in Washington, the more a candidate will feel justified in spending on his canvass; so that, unless carefully guarded, an increase might be merely an incentive toa looser use of money in elections. Whatever conclusion may be reached by Congress, when it comes together again, on this salary ques- tion, it isto be hoped that the golden mean will be sought, and a stipend fixed which shall neither be so small as to bar men out who are poor only in pocket, nor so large as to enable men of an inferior grade to buy their way in more easily than now, by giving them a larger prospective estate to mortgage. <<< ‘The most absurd excuse offered by anyone for not contributing to a worthy cause is that sent in by certain persons to the New York committee who are collecting funds for the Confederate veterans’ home. A_ half-dozen notes have been received, without signature, stating that the writers are unwilling to aid any movement in which Mr. Ingersell has a share. It would be equally sensible for a man to refuse to vote a republican ticket because Mr. Ingersoll had made speeches in its interest during the campaign. It would be a hard world to live in if everyone were to abstain from helping along a good thing unless he could dictate the names, callings and beliefs of everybody else who was disposed to help it along also. Happily, such narrowness of mind is so rare as to be noted in print when found. Otherwise it would go hard indeed with most of our public charities, <a The out-and-out liberals in the British par- liament are making life pleasant for the attor- ney-general by proposing to cut down his salary eglected public business to attend to the case at issue between Mr. Parnell and the London Times. A better plan still would be to make a change in the functions of the office, in the direction of the American system, under which the Attorney- Geueral is considered a public servant entire; accepting no private briefs and fees. This would accomplish the double object of rebuk- ing Mr. Webster for his recent misdoing, and of preventing a repetition of his offense by any of his successors, At present the English at- torney-general gets $35,000 annual salary from government, and this handsome income is more than doubled by the fees he receives in his private practice, ax he is sought for ip all great cases. Oe The example of the republicans of Ham- mondsport, N. Y., who settled the controversy over their post-office by ballot, is commended to members of the dominant party in all parts of the union. There were three candidates for postmaster, and they all agreed that whoever received the greatest number of votes from his fellow-partizans in the village should receive also the endorsement of his competitors. Thus, ima very few hours, a problem which might have given rise to long and bitter heart-burn- ings and wasted days of valuable time for the administration, was solved to the satisfaction of everybody. It would be a happy thing for President Harrison and his cabinet if the can- didates for office in every community would take this means of ascertaining the will of the people to whom the new public servant is ex- pected to minister, —$—<—— a —___ It would be interesting to know how many book and newspaper readers of an earlier generation recognized, in the brief dispatch cabled from London to announce the death of “Samuel Carter Hall,” their entertainer of many years ago. As the head of the lite- rary partnership of “Mr. and Mrs. 8. C. Hall,” his work was a familiar visitor at every fireside among English-speaking people. He was a voluminous writer, having published his first book in 1820 and turned out a large quan- tity of matter every year since. For some time he was a parliamentary reporter, sitting in the same gallery with Dickens, His popular writ- ings on art, like his wife’s animated sketches of Irish life, were always favorites in this country, and the United States had no firmer friends in any part of the world than this genial pair. Mrs. Hall died several years ago, and Mr. Hall's pen seemed to lose all its inspiration from that ae ee ee A colored woman who died at Scottdale, Pa., on Friday, at the reputed age of 117 years, pro- fessed to have a distinct recollection of seeing George Washington, and had many stories to tellof him. This is the orthodox thing for every colored person of 117 years toremember, but the value of many of the reminiscences from such sources are well illustrated by the description which one aged uncle down in Vir- ginia once gave, from memory strictly, of the surrender of Cornwallis, in which his lordship was pictured as eating an apple when General Washington approached with a drawn sword and cut off his head. $$$ The Minnesota legislature is considering a bill providing for the execution of the death sentence by electricity. It follows in some of its terms the law now in force, but thus far un- tried, in New York state. In the brief abstract sent out by telegraph, however, nothing is said of any restriction upon the liberty of the news- papers to publish details of the affair—if they can get them. If this was omitted, the west has set the east a wise example. The prohib- itory clause in the New York law is one which it will be impossible to enforce; for the theory that the public hasa right to know how its servants are performing the work allotted to them is generally respected by juries, and even the courts may have something to say about the constitutionality of an act to muzzle the press, when it interferes with the enjoyment of life, liberty, and happiness by no human being. ——____ —_—_——_»- The latest and most noisome scandal in high life is that of the Marquis and Marchioness of Donegal. And yet, after the revelations of their divorce suit, the British press will con- tinue to publish flings at those loose joints in the American social system which encourage the growth of free-love sentiment and institu- tions. It is significant, in this connection, to read that a bill has been voted down bya heavy majority, providing for the expulsion of a mem- the Our Boys’ and Children’s Department is not = side- track arrangement of ours. On the contrary, it's on the main line—running side by side with our Men's Department. It demands its full share of our atten- tlon—and gets it, too. Measure the area we are compelled to devote to it. ‘Not # foot more than we need. Compare it with that occupied by other clothing houses. It is as large as they employ for all their branches. This must signify something. We've got it stocked full—not for fun nor show, but for business. All sorts of claims are made by the others. Listen to them—listen to what we've got to say, and it wouldn't take any very keen discrimina- tion to locate the highest qualities and greatest varie- ties, at the lowest prices. ‘The lines we're carrying this year are about thesame grades as usual, We've improved on them where im- Provement was possible. That's our aim all the time. We start in at $2.50 for the Children and 85 for the Boys. Don’t take anybody else’s standard to measure these suits by. TAKE OURS, It's differ- ent—widely different from the majority. These suits are all wool. Other people will tell you the same about theirs, Look at them for yourselves and see. These are the cheapest suits we care tocarry, Anything be- low them is doubtful in its character. We couldn't back them up. Look at the other end—820 for the Children’s and $25 for the Boys’. That's the highest we go. We'll give you the best that can be made for that money. In between these limits are where most of you willshop. There you'll find all the imported novelties—all the American creations and the homely, honest standard suits—without any frills; but all solid quality. Spring Overcoats forall the Isds—from the little ones up to the next door to the men’s. Reefers— Ask the boys what sort of garments theseare. They'll tell you of their comforts. Shirt waists—loads of them. The only stock worthy the name in thecity. We've opened a branch in our own house—Boys’ Furnish- ings—on the same floor with the clothing. It'll be handier for you.
