Whatever temporary gratification the repub- lican Senators who voted to reject Mr. Hal- etead’s nomination as minister to Germany may have felt in that act, their best friends will hardly deny that they made a serious mistake in indulging it. Those who were moved by the remembrance of his utterances on the subject of the Payne inquiry ought to have borne in mind that what he wrote was written at a white heat, after one of the most acrimonious con- tests that have ever taken place in the history of Ohio politics. However innocent Mr. Payne may have been of personal corruption, there is no room for doubt that corrupt methods were resorted to by parties acting in his interest, and there was nothing unreasonable in the demand of the republican legislators of Ohio, seconded by Mr. Halstead, for a searching inquiry. Naturally impulsive, and moved to extra stress of feeling by the circumstances of this case, Mr. Halstead may haveffexercised rather leas moderation in his comments than a man of more phlegmatic temperament would, but he did what he believed to be his duty. Stripping the situation of all its moral and sentimental aspects, moreover, the resolve of certain Sen- ators to defeat a candidate who had fearlessly spoken his mind of their body as a whole was a bit of worldly unwisdom. They have simply given Mr. Halstead the means of making up an issue on which he is certain to enlist a very large pfblic sympathy. Their action will give immense impetus to the growing feeling that the Senate is becoming rapidly de-Americanized. New point will be given to the bitter tone of public comment upon the manner in which the upper chamber of Congress has been steadily filling up with men whose chief claim to dis- tinction rests on the big fortunes they have ac- cumulated, or the skill with which they have contrived to twist the technicalities of the law to suit the service of the powerful corporations that have employed themfas attorneys. This public sentiment has been voiced;in the appli- cation to the Senate of the title of ‘the million- aire club,” and that body has not done a par- ticularly wise thing in affording Mr. Halstead ap opportunity to show to the country the apt- ness of the name, and the significance of the moral to be drawn from it. $= —_ Mrs. Harrison's recent illness, attributed to the unsanitary condition of the White House, has revived public interest in {the project of providing separate quarters for the President’s Official and domestic uses. The business de- partment has steadily encroached for years upon the domestic department of the executive mansion, and still complaint is made of the in- sufficient room for the clerical force required there. It would be eminently proper to make a change, and provide a suitable residence for the President's family, reserving the present building for offices, reception-erooms and other state purposes. We do not require the Secre- tary of the Treasury to sleep in the silver vault, or the Postmaster-General to have his lodgings among his musty mail bags, or the Secretary of the Interior to do his housekeeping in the patent museum. Why should we demand of a President that his whole life—private as well as public—for four years shall be spent under one roof and in one atmosphere ? ————— Some of the alarmists in England have dis- covered, by the comparison of statistics of sup- ply and consumption for a long period, that the coal mines of their country will be exhausted in less than one hundred years. This is as- sumed to mean that England will cease to be England—that her supremacy in manufactures and commerce will collapse—somewhere to- ward the close of the twentieth century. That is a sad prospect for prosperous Englishmen of the present day to contemplate. Their conso- Jation rests in the fact that it is posterity, and not their own generation, which must shoulder the trouble if trouble there is to be. Aside from the infinite possibilities which rise in the vista of a hundred years of progress in the me- chanic arts, including the undeveloped re- sources of electricity, the remoteness of the date set for the disaster prevents its resting too heavy on the hearts of Englishmen of this era. ‘The prophecy of the end of coal-production in British mines a century hence is a good deal like the prophecy Prof. Proctor used to make that the earth would grow too cold to support mankind two billion yearsshence. The most nervous of the Professor's hearers did not go home to have bad dreams about it, ———— = All the romances founded on the careers of Dick Turpin and other famous knights of the road never began to compare, in their deserip- tions of coolness and daring, with the story of the robbery of a bank told in the Press dispatches from Denver. A bank president is seated in his Office. Acstranger gains a private interview with him on the pretext of disclosing a plot to rob his bank. The disclosure takes the form of & practical illustration, in which the president is himself compelled, at the point of a pistol, to play the leading part. The amount stolen, fortunately, was not large enough to cripple the bank or break the private fortune of the victim on whom personally the bulk of the loss must fall; but the audacity of the scheme loses nothing from this circumstance. Indeed, the effect is rather intensified by the fact that a thief with so much ingenuity and courage should have commanded himself sufficiently at the critical moment to keep his demand within such bounds that the subordinate officers of the bank had not their suspicions aroused for a Toment, There is fun ahead if, as predicted, Murat Halstead should be elected to the United States Senate. For he is sort of impulsive with his tongue as well as with his pen. Sruxo Srna Is. lars DUNLAPS FIFTH AVENUE STYLE SILK AND DERBY HATS NOW READY.

Let us look at the “Palais Royal's” 50c. Undergarments; then, perhaps, you'll admit, though the same prices are quoted elsewhere, different goods are offered. Here'sa 50c. Balbriggan Shirt—note the ribbed neck, which is untearable; the front silk bound. Look at the 50c. Drawers—an extra piece at seat: all the seams taped over: patent everlasting stays where the ripping usually commences, Now, look at the 50c. Jean Drawers, Note the shape. Turn them inside out and examine the parts which usually show wear, All lengths of leg to each waist- size, which are shown from 28 to 44 inches. The natural Wool Underwear at $1.

Such Merino Underwear for 50c. that we fear for the sale of the 75c. garments, THE SECRET IS THIS: The Palais Royal's strictly cash business enables smaller profits and therefore better qualities for the prices than elsewhere. ‘The window display, corner of 12th street and Penn- sylvania avenue, demonstrate that just as good values are given in socks as in underwear, THE PALAIS ROYAL, (Continued below.)

We've incurred the displeasure this timo of the furnishers, It's really getting so bad that we shall be obliged to ask the consent of our neighbors when we wish to mark a new arrival of goods, ‘What's wrong? Just this, We've been selling the latest New York Scarf craze—the Irish Linen Toweling Embroidered Four-in-Hand Scarfs at 50cents. Our friends in the trade complain that they can’t afford to sell them for less than 75 cents. They appeal to the manufacturer to discipline us—and compel you to pay their prices, How would you like that? But we are not going to be disciplined—We're run- ning this business located on Market Space on our own ideas and for the convenience and benefit of an appre- ciative public—and we areextremely sorry if our prices and methods fail to please our contemporaries. You'll recall the fact that we had a similar circumstance in our Shoe Department this last winter—Do you remem- ber how successful that was? We kept right on selling the same goods at our prices—and that’s what we're going to doin this case, The Irish Linen Embroidered Scarfs will be at you disposal at 50 cents. In Justice to the manufacturer we won't publish his letter. There are some clauses in it that are of a confi- dential character, Any of youare, however, welcome toa personal perusal—and the letter will be found in our business office, ‘The whole affair is so supremely amusing that we can’t forbear making public these facts.

(Changed Daily.) ‘The Spring Linens are in the best possible trim for the season's trade. Every House- keeper is oblired to bay Linens, and yet how many of them buy unwisely! There are good Linens and bad Linens offered at the same prices. It is not to be wondered at that so few are judges of Linen, for it requires almost s Life's study to become an “expert” in Linens ‘Three-fourths of the stores that sell Linens take what the Importers offer them without in- ‘quiring into the true worth of the Linen. We seek the fountain-head of the supply and select with knowledge of the entire Linen industry. We know where the best Linens are to be had; and we offer you in our present stock the ben- efit of our extended Linen experience and knowledge. Irish, Scotch, German and French—we hare Some of them all. Weare doing probably the seventh largest retail linen business in the country, and supply not only the majority of the hotels, boarding houses and other lance co sumers of thiscity, butagreat many in Vir- ginia, Maryland, and other southern states. Being large and Judicious linen buyers they naturally shop where they can get the most for their money. Our first consideration in buying linens te quality. The quality of a piece of linen depends upon the flax fibre—its Strength, ite fineness or coarseness, and its length. The trouble with half of the linens is the great amount of tow used. Tow isto linen what shoddy is to wool— the waste. Most buyers like the Irish and German linens best. Their beauty is in the bleach. Sun- bleached, upon grassy lawns, under clear skies, Good round threads, honest unbroken fibre, firmly and skilfully woven. For good looks and durability com bined take the Irish. Ifyou are &n inexperienced linen buyer it is usually best to shop where the most people appear to be buying. Here is what we are offering this week: Table Damasks, Napkins, Cloths, Doy- lies, Tray Cloths, Buffet Covers, Table Cloths, Sets, Towels, Crashes, Sheets, Pillow Cases, Bolster Slips, &c.—all of pure linen, ‘TABLE DAMASES.
