4 THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON: FRIDaY. Pril 5. 1889, CROSBY S. NOYEs.......... eeeeeeee! Editor, ee ‘HE EVENING STAR has tne fullest Local Circulation of any Newspaper in the World. and as an Advertising Medium ie worth more than all the other papers published __{w Washington. To authorize a compilation of the District laws is one thing; to indorse the compilation when made and to recognize it as an official statement of the statute law is another thing. Congress has frequently taken the first step, but never the second. For the welfare of the Dis- trict it is sincerely to be hoped that the work of the present efficient compilers will receive better treatment than that of their predecessors. The District has ever been ready to emulate the smiling hopefulness of Mark Tapley in respect to what Congress will do for it im this regard. Just complaints of the condition of its laws were among the first municipal utterances of the infant capital Successive would-be compilers or codifiers since the time of Cranch have kept dangling before the eyes of Congress the patch- work of District law full of ugly holes and ex- etescences, but in vain. Still the people of Washington are not completely discouraged. ‘They are glad to have Congress appoint compe- tent men from time to time to burrow for Dis- trict law among the English statutes existing at the time of the first immigration to Maryland and “which by experience have been found ap- plicable to local and other circumstances” in that state, and among the Maryland stat- utes and stray acts of Congress, where the local law lies hidden. They would be additionally gratefal if some one of these compilations were adopted as a statement of the law as it exists. For by that course statutes locally applicable would be collected froma dozen different sources, convenience of refer- ence would be secured, and in straightening in- consistencies and making intelligible the state- ment of existing law many antiquated provis- ions would be practically legislated out of existence by being treated as obsolete. But Congress should not stop even when the rich boon of such a compilation has been bestowed. It will bea great thing to have existing law collected and printed in convenient shape, but a clear statement of the statute law as it is should be only the preface to an improvement of that law. There is no reason why the capital of the nation should be clogged with statutes which England and Mary- land, whence these antiquated provisions come, have themselves outgrown and cast aside. First, by all means, get a compilation. Then there should follow a comprehensive code or body of revised statutes, giving to this District the benefit of the modern spirit of legislation, both in respect to substantive law and pro- cedure. To put the matter modestly, Washing- ton is fast becoming a progressive nineteenth century city, and an eighteenth century body of laws, merely disfigured by subsequent ran- dom patching, is unsuitable to its condition. Tobacco, for instance, is no longer money to be used in paying the penalty for some antiquated offense, unknown to the criminal code of all other sections of the re- public. It is time that the statutes of the cap- ital of the nation ceased to serve mainly as a museum of antiquities, displaying curiosities, wonders and horrors to the investigator. The District needs modern laws for present use, which will aid, or at least not retard, its de- velopment as a modern municipality. Entertainments by amateur actors are in fashion just now in various cities in this coun- try for the benefit of a shelter and employment bureau for the working girls of Paris, Con- sidering how many deserving girls there are in America who have all they can do to make a decent living and keep out of the streets, it seems as if a charity of that sort were one that could well begin at home. re In a number of the cities of the United States the task of electric lighting has been under- taken by the municipal governments as a sub- stitute for private corporations. The Phila- deiphia Press publishes the following list of such cities with the price paid per electric lamp per night: Cents. Aurora, Ill. Lyons, Ta. 8.2 Bay City, Mic Mi 6. Champaign. HL... ichigan Ci Chicago, lil -15._ Painesville, O Decatur, Ill 13.7 Paris, Ill. kira. N. 3.5 Portsmouth, Easton, Pa. :27.3 Topeka, Kan Grand Ledge, Mich. 1.8 Ypsilanti, Mich. Huntington, Ind. . .13. — Lewiston, Me.....14. |Av'r cost per night.13.4 Most of the large American cities are lighted by private companies, and the prices paid average about four times the average cost of corresponding service by the municipality. ‘The task of lighting the public streets is a proper one to be undertaken directly by Amer- ican cities, if it can be accomplished very much more cheaply than through private agencies, ———— Whether the President or the Senate knows better, asa rule, whom the people want for federal officers, may be open to question, but the genera} acceptableness of the mea of Mr. Harrison's choosing has been attested by the press in all parts of the country. An instance in point is that of the postmaster at Findlay, Ohio. The President sent in the name of one Samuel C. Moore. The Senate, for reasons of its own, did not see fitto confirm the nomina- tion. A citizens’ ballot was taken in Findlay, Wednesday, resulting iu a large majority for Mr. Moore, who received about four-fifths of the whole vote cast. If, therefore,the President sees fit to appoint bis man to serve during the recess, and renominates him when the Senate meets again, will he lay himself open to the charge of trying to bulldoze the Senate, or will the Senate be obliged, by voting affirmatively ou the nomination, to confess that it was guilty of a mistaken judgment in ignoring it before? a The coarse, rude politicians who want free tickets for themselves and families and friends to the parade and banquet, and everything else st the New York inaugural centennial, are making it extremely warm, doncher know, for the society men in charge of the arrangements, In this instance the light brigade numbers only 400, and the famous charge, at which all the Sone Posts Os Darssrxa Tx YOUNGSTERS. 10's a puzzler to you sometimes, isn't it—what to get fot the small boy to wear. It WILL besdifficult problem to solve until yougo and consult FREELY with some reliable house in that line. That's what we like to have you do when you coms toseeus, Tell Us just what YOUR ideas are, and then we will offer you any suggestions and render you all the assistance in our power, Now we've got our second floor brim full of EVERY- THING that we could find that we thought the Children would appreciate. We want to say right here that we've drawn together s stock that for variety, true merit and elegance we've never seen equaled. We'vecollected all there wssat home and crossed the big pond and plucked the rarest buds from out the Fashion Gardens of Europe. ‘We want to tell you something about this stock. We'll talk about the standard lines first: ry SUITS FROM $2.50 TO 24.50. Not ALL wool~You don’t want any that purport to ‘be such—Better hay GOOD combination of cotton and wool thana CHEAP grade of wool-OURS ARE the mixture-BUT THEY'LL WEAR—The ages run from 4 to 13 years—The very period in young Ameri- ca’s life when he can wear out clothes almost as fast 38 youcan buy them. These suitshave been reinforced in the very points where they usually give way first— For strength and durability it’s not necessary to sacrifice comly appearance—These are little beauties— Made up in a variety of stripes, checks, plaids, mixtures and plain colors of Cheviots and Cassimeres that impress you favorably at a glance—“Dirt-hiders” are what are wanted—Colors that will look nicely and not soil easily—See what you think of the fifty different combinations we've got—The little Jackets are cut with the plaited blouse—Norfolk blouse or plain sack effects, SUITS FROM $5 TO $10. In short pants the ages run up to 16 years, and in the long pants suits as high as 18 years, They are to be found between these prices—@5 to @10. ALL WOOL? Yes—with no if's norand’s—but LITERALLY ALL WOOL, The colorings are not the old, old ones you've seen year after year, but bright, new, catchy effects that show the care and thought that's spent on Juvenile garments. Play suits or Sunday suits— they'll answer for ALL occasions, The effects are in Novelty Plaids, Stripes and Mixtures, and also in Plain Solid Colors, Some of these suits are two pieces and some have the vest. Don’t get the ides into your heads that Children's Clothing is just thrown together anyway. It’s all wrong. The same care and attention and the same ex- perienced and talented energies are employed to prop- erly construct and fashion THEIR garments as are bestowed on YOUR OWN. And WE take just as much Pains to please the smallest boy as we do the bixgest man, Speaking of bigness reminds us—We have a full and complete line in large-EXTRA LARGE SIZES—to fit the great, big, hale and hearty youths who have grown beyond their years, WE ALWAYS CARRY THESE LARGE SIZES—CAN FIT ANY OF THEM. FROM 810 UP. Elegance would bea mild and feeble term to apply Tight here. After you've taken a turn through the department and seen the wonderful variety of nobby English Plaids, the beauties in Scotch mixtures, and the superb effects in French Cassimere Checks, you'll Join with us in admiration and appreciation. Then, in addition to all the novelties, there are the rich, wide wale Diagonal, the plain fashionable Corkscrews, and the soft imported and domestic Worsteds—all cnt, made and trimmed as works of art should be—-OF THE BEST. NOVELTIES. For novelties this season we've given this city such ‘8 display as it never had before. We've scoured every quarter of the globe for the new things that Society has endorsed, and here they are: Tobegin with, Best & Co.. of New York, have sup- Plied us with ALL THEIR OWN latest productions. We are the only house that handles a thread of their clothing in the District. They've taken ALL the popu- lar fabrics, and someof their own designing, and moulded them, in their inimitable style, into some of the daintiest novelties, Fancy braided suits, the imi- tation vest front, the plaited blouse and Norfolk blouse, anda line of three-piece short-pant suits that cannot be equalled for their graceful air and hard-bot- tom merit. Their lines of kiltsare,in themselves, masterpieces of artistic combination. The originality of desixn, the superiority of the fitand finish stamp them as LEADERS IN THIS LINE, We've put a thorough line of black dress suits in three pieces with short pants, especially suitable for the confirmation ceremony, Look at them, Spring Overcoats have not been slichted. We have had them made up in Cheviots, Cassimeres, Tweeds, and Meltons, with and without capes. Weixhts that will be found comfortable for a month or six weeks to to come, Those English Reefers—just from London—in Chevi- otsand Flannels—A garment every boy would like to own, and it certainly is a SENSIBLE, SERVICEABLE ONE. THE KILTS. No matter how rich the material if they are bung- Ungly put together the effect is spoiled. The majority of mothers know how hard it is to catch the “right turn,” so to speak, in cutting and draping a kilt, They've tried it. Our lines run from $2.50 to @ Oy and for all ages, from 2 to 6 years. You'll waste more time trying to do for yourselves what we can do for you in five minutes than you'll save, and the variety is so extensive, the combinations so novel snd attract- ive that we are confident your taste can find its re_ sponse. The Sailor Kilt, the Zouave Jacket Kilt, the Vest-Front Kilt, and s half hundred other styles, Un- Jess you've seen them you haven't the faintest concep. tion of their beauties. SHIRT WAISTS. The “Star” first, of course. NOT BECAUSE WE HANDLE THEM AND NO ONE ELSE CAN, but from the fact that THEY ARE THE BEST. They fit and do Up so nicely. The patterns are selected with such care and taste. Percale and linen from 75c. to 81. 75, and the flannel from 75c. to 82.50. We've got other grades from 2c. up. They don't fill the bill quite as well as the “Stars” do—still, they “get there.” This stock of waists is the largest we've ever had—and you know we've always carried the largest lines heretofore. We've imported the genuine English Serge Man-o’- War's Suits—loug pants, double collar, cap, whistle silk handkerchief—all complete. The only GENUINE ones in the city. The Lord Fauntleroy with all the fixings, sashes, caps, leggings, &c., in white flannel, Jerseys, and velvets, World (doubtless) wonders, is made upon it and not by it. But the members of the light brigade, though their leader, the McAllister, bas fallen, stand their ground bravely: ‘Their's not to reason why, ‘Their’s but to do or dia, ——— Congressman Breckinridge, of Arkansas, has resolved, evidently, to defend the good name of his state from the flings cast at it by a part of the northern press after the Clayton murder, He proposes to hunt down the perpetrators of that crime if money will do it. This is the spirit which often forces success out of adverse conditions. A liberal distribution of it through allthe more sparsely settled states would do wonders for the enforcement of law and order there. an oo ‘The spectacle of a member of a tory govern- ment leaving London for Birmingham to assist ia electing « son of John Bright to parliament is a suggestive sign of the way times have changed. —_————__ Fostex.
