But the District's prospects under its new municipal ofticers are in the highest degree encouraging. The President has performed his duty of appointment with thoughtfal and wise discrimir nd the great body of District citizen: ling those who have favored other candidates for these offices, are satisfied that their interests have been intrusted to hon- est, capable and safe men, and are pleased both at the fact that the long controversy over the matter has come to an end and at the manner in which it has ended. The first specific requirement of model Dis- trict Commissioners after that of the possession of honesty and general capacity is identifica-~ tion with the District and its interests, and this requirement is fairly met by the new ap- pointees, Both have resided for many years in this city, and concerning neither of them can it be said that he is a District citizen for office only. Mr. Hine has been prominent in local affairs, has a wide circle of acquaintance and is intimately acquainted with the needs of the District. Mr. Douglass has not been so etive in local concerns and his circle of local acquaintance is narrower, but all his inte -ests are those of a citizen of Washington. The second requirement upon which stress has been laid is that in the appointment of Commissioners the pr spect of fair treatment in the matter of impro ements and protection of local interests should be given to all the sec- tions of the city. Both of the new Commis- siouers indicate that their policy will be to ad- vance the city asa whole, and not be one of narrow, sectional discrimination. Mr. Douglass resides in the western section of the city. Mr. Hine has lived in S uth Washington, and now has his home outside of the city limits, in the eastern section of the District. Ability as speakers to present the District's needs to committees of Congress has also been specified as a requirement. Both of the new Commissioners as lawyers are trained speakers, Both are men of pleasing manners and address, Attention has been called to the importance of preventing the use of the Dis- 'y Newspaper in the World. J OSEPH Gravy Takes this means of telling his friends that in all his experience in the Clothing business—cov- ering a period of over 20 years—he has never handled as well selected a stock of Clothing, as Well made or as inely-Ating garments, or been ‘able to show such downright honest values as can be found in our House to-day. He particu- larly wishes to emphasize the splendid line of Fifteen Dollar Suits that we are selling this sea- son as being the handsomest patterns to select from and the best values for that amount he has ever seen. He will take great pleasure im per- sonally waiting upon and attending to the wantsof his friends, ROBINSON, PARKER & CO. That our House contains within its walls the choie- est products of the world’s fashion marts casual look through will at once convince the most skeptical. That the style and fitting properties of the garments we show are far superior to any that can be foundin Washington can be easily verified by quietly slipping on 8 few garments selected at random—ty you—from our splendid stock. That a comparison of goods and prices will at once establish our claim to selling the best goods at the lowest prices. wo feel perfectly satisfied. That those FIFTEEN DOLLAR SUITS of ours will hold their own against the #20 Suits that others boast of we know, but we want you to know it, too. Look at both, carry in your mind’s eye the style, the fit, the quality of fabric, the workmanship and finish of each, and you'll say that ours at FIFTEEN DOL- LARS EACH are away ahead. . ROBINSON, PARKER & CO., REPRESENTATIVE AMERICAN CLOTHIERS, trict government as a mere political machine. The fact that extreme partisans on both sides, while conceding the personal fitness of the new Commissioners from their respective parties, are inclined to complain that they have not been active po! y.and are not prominent representatives of the two parties in Washing- ton. gives promise of an administration which will put District interests before partisan inter- ests, and which will be in position to present the needs of the District without political em- barrassment to the representatives of both par- ties in Congress, Perhaps no Commissioners ever entered upon their official duties with better opportunities to win or confirm the respect and regard of the people of the District. The administration of their immediate predecessors will furnish an imirable background, showing to full advan- tage every wise and vigorous act for the public welfare upon which they may determine. The opportunity is open to them of being courteous and considerate in manner, without lacking backbone in time of action; of knowing what is done in the departments under their charge, and not merely of refraining from personal wrong- doing, but of discovering and correcting the wrong-doing of subordinates. Not only may they earn the gratitude of the people of the capital by intelligent and energetic efforts to correct. by securing new legislation, some of the evils under which it labors or to advance its general interests; but in contrast with the weakness, the inefficiency, and the active faults of their predecessors, they can make their ad- ministration notable merely by strict enforce- ment of existing law,—against corporations as against individuals, and against the wealthy as against the poor and uninfluential,—and by im- partiality between the sections and between conflicting interests or cliques. $a —____ The strong arm of a fearless bystander was all that saved two ladies and an infant from a ter- rible adventure, possibly from the loss of their lives, last evening, at the railroad crossing at Virginia avenue and 434 street southwest. The ladies and child were in a buggy, and were driving straight toward the narrow passage be- tween two stationary cars, which is the only thoroughfare vouchsafed to the public at that pointy the gracious condescension of the Pennsylvania railroad company. The flag- man had neglected to hang out his lan- terns, or to close the gates, although a train, hidden from the approaching party by the wall of rolling-stock erected by the company in the midst of the city highway, was almost at the crossing. The first warning was the sudden descent of one of the gates at the instant the horse reached it, scraping his face and fright- ening him so that he wheeled and bolted A crowd in the neighborhood came to the rescue, but in vain; and desperate peril threatened cccupantsof the buggy when a muscular c’ zen succeeded in grasping the horse by the bridle and striking him a blow on the head, which stunned him and knocked him down, Fortunately, nobody was burt, except the horse, and he is powerless to sue the railroad com- pany for damages. But the idea that such an affair can occur in the very heart of a populous city, and that the corporation which is respon- sible for it, after appropriating the ground from under the people's feet, has not grace enough to provide ordinary defences for its victims, is a rather startling one to believers in the nineteenth century as an age of progress and inthe capital city of the American re- public as a model municipality, ——— There is nothing astonishing in the result§of the election in Montana. That territory has always had democratic leanings. The demo- cratic delegate, Toole, never had to work hard for bis place. The mistake which the local democrats made in nominating one of the most unpopular men in the territory last fall and the unjust policy of the national democracy toward the territories seeking admission to statehood laid them out then at the polls, Partisan politics had little to do with it. The fight for the control of the state of Montana will be hot and close. The new votes made by recent immigration will probably determine the result. $$ The public officer who sued a paper in Chi- eage for damages to his character, because it printed his mame without any capitals, prob- ably regarded the offense as a lower case of of vindictive malice than the law would sanc- tion, —— .. Thomas Blaney, the recent suicide who left a helpless family to struggle for a living, bade farewell to his wife in a letter which he signed, “Yours in the next world.” It must be con- soling to the widow, when she reflects how he has treated her in this world, to feel that she will have a clutch on him in the next, from which he cannot sneak away. eo GF No other paper published has anything like half as many readers in the city of Wash- ington as has Taz Evesrxe Stas, and no other one has yet supported its claims by an affidavit of its circulation, F myl7-eo 319 SEVENTH S8T., COR.
