4 THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON: WEDNESDAY. THE EVENING STAR has the fullest Local (Ctreulation of any Newspaper in the World. and as an Advertising Mediam is worth more than all the other papers published in Washington. New York Office: Room 93, Tribune Building, The Star Out of Town. Tas Evestxe Star will be sent by mail to any address in the United States or Canada for such period gs may be desired, at the rate of fifty cents per month. G3 But all such orders must be accompanied by Uve money, or the paper cannot be sent, as no accounts are kept with mail subscriptions. 2g If the examination to be made at once of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal by the officials of the company and the business men of George- town results in confirming the gloomy predic- tions concerning its condition, and the imprac- ticabifity of restoring and improving it asa waterway the sale of the canal property under a foreclosure of the liens upon it is expected. The Baltimore and Ohio railroad is the princi- pal holder of the preferred bonds of 1878. Whether the financial condition of that road will justify the sacrifice of its igterest in these bonds for the sake of ridding itself of a competing waterway or a competing railroad along the course of the w@terway is a question to be determined by its management. If the railroad cannot afford to lose the ready money which will be secured by foreclosing its lien, the canal pro- perty will be sold to the highest bidder, and opportunity will be given to the capitalists who are said to be desirous of utilizing the canal- bed as the road-bed of an independent railroad line. The franchises and other property of the canal are valuable, and if once put up for sale would probably cause considerable competition among would-be purchasers and bring a substantial price. The first interest of Georgetown and Washington, is, of course, to induce the repairs and improvement of the canal asa water-way for its full length. The distressing uncertainties concerning the results of its abandonment would at once vanish. If the canal is not to be restored, the next local interest is to secure the repair of enough of the canal to serve asa mill-race and the substitu- tion of a line of railroad for the canal which shall farnish at least the same transpor- tation facilities, as far as possible at the same cheap rates. Only aline independent of the roads now entering the city can offer the promise of this service. and the interests of the capital demand that if the repair of the canal is hopeless, this competing line shall be secured. If the Baltimore and Ohio road should obtain the canal property it would not be likely to run a line along the canal bed and duplicate one | link of its system for the benefit of Georgetown, and the fear would be felt in Washington that if this road were the only substitute for the canal in bringing coal, wheat, and | limestone to Georgetown the commerce and trade of the capital would suffer for the bene- fit of Baltimore, whose interests it has been the proverbial policy of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad to foster. Georgetown’s trade and commerce and the cheapness of many products at the capital depend upon the control of di- rect and cheap communication with the sup- plies of coal, wheat. and limestone which are handled in Georget »wn, and which, in part after manufacture, supply return cargoes to the ships which bring up the Potomac other pro- ducts more cheaply than they would otherwise be obtained. There isadoubt whether any but a line in competition with the Baltimore and Ohio railroad would build up the interests of the capital as a shipping point and point of manufacture and exchange, when the same business could be transferred to .Baltimore, if the substitute for the canal should so desire. - eee The extra session talk refuses to subside. Newspapers north, south, east and west are joining in the demand for an early opening of the Fifty-first Congress. What is yet more to the point,'the drift of opinion among members- elect seems to be in the same direction, as far as it has been ascertained through interviews. ‘This is a hopeful sign. It shows that our law- makers are awaking to the necessity of getting more time todo their work in weather which does not sap their energies completely. The result of the agitation will be one of two things: Either we shall begim the long sessions earlier so as to end them earlier, or we shall continue the short sessions later so as to get some chance to finish the necessary work. Possibly both of these good ends may be attained. The No- vember elections make it desirable, in the even years, to avoid the necessity of convening Congress before December; and Novem-| ber seems to have been so widely accepted among the states as the best time for the local aswellas the general elections that it will probably be allowed to stand. Something like an equilibrium could be established, however, by beginning the sessions in the odd years, say about the first of October, and continuing | them till in June, and beginning the sessions | in the even years in December and continuing them till the 30th of April. These suggestions are, of course, subservient to the yet broader and better idea of a continuous session, broken only by recesses. Se What with the big sum raised at the citizens’ meeting yesterday and the generous offerings from all quarters, a very handsome and cred- itable contribution will go from Washington to the aid of the Johnstown sufferers, a It has remained for Madame Blavatsky, the high priestess of occultism, to get to the bot- tom of the Keely motor business. “The force is in Keely,” she explains, “is part of him and will die with him.” That is undoubtedly the reason why the stock-holders of his company have not yet succeeded in getting any of it out, and it proves that their anxiety is by no means unjustitied. $e How the self-made “money kings” and “merchant princes” of America shine in com- parison with the kings and princes “by divine right” in the old world when the hat is passed around in behalf of the victims of disaster! Tei The legislatures of Massachusetts and Con- necticut have responded to Pennsylvania's call for aid by appropriating handsome sums from their respective state treasuries for the relief of the Conemaugh valley sufferers, This is well, if there is no constituticual impediment, for everything that helps the good cause is welcome. But, after all, it is the individual contributions that do fhe most good, for they work a double benetit. They supply the needs of the unfortunate, and they strengthen the sentiment of benevolence in the givers—the moral side of human nature being improved, like its physical side, by spontaneous and hearty exercise. oo Secretary Blaine is to be congratulated. His envoy to Mexico has been dined and wined, and went home without painting the town crimson on the way. rr 9 ee The refusal of the judges to award a first prize to any exhibitor in the Paris salon this year, may be accounted for by the fact that the artists have preferred to send their best work ‘to the world’s fair instead. —— Scucon Mavis NEW DESIGNS IN GOLD AND SILVER MEDALS FOR SCHOOLS, CLUBS, &c.

The Palais Royal’s Twelfth Annual “Opening” of ‘Sumamer Novelties is over.. The verdict of its patrons and the public has been given.

Better quatity Embroideries for the prices than shown elsewhere, Suits for Ladies and Children that nearer approach custom-made in appearance than can be found any- where else, By far the best values in Black Lace Flouncings.
