4 WASHINGTON: FRIDAY. jarch 29, 1889, . Editor. THE EVENING STAR bas tne fullest Local Cireulation of any Newspaper in the World. and as an Advertising Medium is worth mere than all the ether papers published In Washington. SS There is nothing surprising in the rapid progress made in the New York state assembly by the bill to repeal the Saturday half-holiday law. The father of the law himself admits it to be a failure in operation, Employerscomplain of it because it demoralizes their business, practically reducing the working week to five days. The thriftier class of artisans and skilled workmen generally complain of it because they cannot get @ long week's pay for a short week's work. The banks complain of it because it plays the mischief with their discounts, drafts and protests. The brokers complain of it be- cause it condemns Saturday to be an “off day” in the market, no matter what condition things may be in, breaking the force of booms and expediting slumps. Hardly anybody, in fact, has a good word to say for the half-holiday. It may be that working people get too little play, as a rule, but the little they do get does not come to them to the best advantage in this Particular form. The states which have been studying New York's experiment from the out- side, for the purpose of deciding whether to do something of the same sort themselves will draw an easier breath now that the suspense is over and the verdict is adverse. —————— Clearly the Three Americas commercial con- gress should not be permitted to conflict in date with the conclave of the Knights Templar. Washington will be delighted to entertain both sets of visitors, but if they come at the same time they will be apt to crowdeach other. he Knights Templar have already pre-empted the city’s most desirable accommodations for the first half of October. Friendly feeling toward the United States on the part of the republics of Central and South America, resulting in an increase of trade, will not be secured by ex- tending to the distinguished representatives of onr neighbors the hospitality of a billiard table asa bed, anda chance to scramble for food, perhaps unsuccessfully, with thousands of hun- gry and ingenious competitors. The last half of October is a delightful season in which to visit the national capital. $$ ___ Viscount Mandeville is in a heap of trouble. He is not only a bankrupt, but the victim of a cruel charge, which may be true, and which, if proved, threatens serious consequences for his gallant lordship. Mandeville’s visit to this country, five or six years ago, was more brief wn brilliant. It lasted long enough, however, sear out his weleome with the friends and + utives of his pretty American wife, whose Lospitalities he enjoyed to his heart's content. iy also caused some weariness to certain sport- ing men, both professional and amateur, who, ou the strength of his title, permitted him to lose bets to them which, owing to pressure of business or other distracting influences, be quite forgot to pay. The bars at which he nursed his aristocratic appetite for high-priced iiqaids have also tender memories of his eccen- ty in the matter of cash settlements. For tising purposes, the presence of a live 2 a gin palace, ata gambling club, or on v be of use, but the managers hments who entertained Vis- it Mandeville while he was here are not thusiastie over the possibility that his finan- cia! collapse may canse him to return. <a Le British board of trade reports show that the net total of permanent immigration from the United Kingdom has fallen off considerably of late. The decrease reached about 10 per « utinasingle year. This falling off, strange « led by the Irish, who used to be most eager to escape from their island; while the vtech, who formerly clung to their homes as as they could, are now moving out of them arger proportion than any of the other na- tionalities embraced in the union. Do these isties contain anything of prophetic signifi- ‘ The emigration movement continued in Ireland in full blast till it seemed to be definitely settled that there was to be a revolu- tion im the political affairs of that country. Then the Irish began to ctay at home, as if to await the progress of events. The Scotch movement is now assuming proportions which recall strongly the Irish movement immediately preceding the first great sircke for home rule. Is it of like portent? SS ee The newspaper owned by Mr. Russell Harri- son, in Helena, Montana, publishes a special despatch from Washington, which will generally be regarded as authoritative concerning the policy of the present administration with respect to the removal of democrats from office. It as- serts that no fixed rule or principle will govern such cases, but that each will be considered on its own merits. In other words, the cause for the retention or dismissal of one officer will not be considered a precedent in the treatment of an- other. Whether this statement is put forth by authority or not, it is undoubtedly true. The practice of all worthy administrations within the memory of man has been on such lines. It could hardly be otherwise if the appointing power would retain the respect of the country. ———— A strong effort is being made to induce Mr. Parnell to visit America. The condition of affairs in England is such as to make his pres- ence there at this time extremely desirable on many accounts;but on the other hand the cause which he represents would undoubtedly be vastly strengthened by his appearance in this country, and by the encouraging and enthu- siastic welcome which would be extended to him. Senators are underpaid. Mr. Chace said so when Senator, and emphasized his opinion by resigning the office. As an ex-Senator he states his views more elaborately and gives his rea- sons in the columns of the North American Re- tiew. One difficulty in the way of making the | increase is the fact that Representatives, Cab- inet officers, and other public officials residing at the capital will reasonably demand that any advance which may be made shall apply to them as well as to Senators, and the amount in- volved will be very great. $9 The New Yorkers are having an interesting squabble over their inaugural centennial of April 30. Everybody seems tobe afraid that he will get left in the distribution of honors, Peace, serenity and harmony characterize the arrangements for the corresponding §€3,0v9 - centennial at Washington. Perhaps the loc { Occasion is too small to get excited over or to make a fuss about.
