THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON: WEDNESDAY x CROSBY &. NOYES. -. Editor. ‘THE EVENING STAR has tue fullest Local Circulation of any Newspaper in the Wertd, end as on Advertising Medium is worth more than all the other payers published fz Washington. = ew York Office: Room 93, Tribune Building, The Star Out of Town. Tus Evextxo Star will be sent by mail to any address in the United States or Canada for such period as may be desired, at the rate of fifty cents per month GJ” Bul all such orders must be accompanied by the money, or the paper cannot be sent, as no accounts are kept with mail subscriptions. gy a ‘The two principal groupds advanced by the New York papers for holding the great interna- tional exposition of 1892 in that city are that it has a greater population than any other, and the most hotels, These facts are admitted. They are, however, worth nothing as applied to this case. First, as to the hotels. They are numerous, and some of them are very large. It is well known, however, by those familiar with the matter that in capacity they are no more than equal to the ordinary demands of a busy New York season, and could. therefore, do compara- tively little toward accommodating an extra crowd. Indeed, s two-day northeast storm in the latter partof the summer has more than once driven enough people from the coast sum- mer resorts in New Jersey alone to fill every hotel in the whole city so full that there was “only standing-room” left. They could, there- fore, not be counted upon to accommodate the vast throngs that an exhibition of the character proposed would be sure to bring and hold to- gether; and it is known of all men that outside of the hotels in New York strangers have but a poor chance of being cared for in that money- seeking selfish city. As to the population claimed for New York, it is there, and it could undoubtedly be counted upon to furnish a good many visitors to an ex- hibition, if means could be provided for carry- ing them to it. The proposed exhibition is not, however, intended as a local attraction only, but for the benefit of the people of the whole country, and of other countries, These are the elements to be taken into the account, not the local population. But the fatal objec- tions to New York are the shape of the city, the want of suitable grounds within easy reach for the necessary buildings, and the absolute impossibility of transporting from the city to the exhibition grounds the immense crowds sure to be im attendance. The elevated and surface roads of New York are now taxed to their utmost every day, as everybody knows, to carry the ordinary travel between the upper and lower portions of the city. How, then, could they be expected to bandle an interna- tional crowd? It is absolutely out of the ques- tion. So far, indeed, from being the best place in the country for such an exhibition, New York is the very worst, Now in Washington ail the conditions are different, and in the highest degree favorable for such an occasion. As was demonstrated | last inauguration time, the whole city is able and willing to convert itself at once into a vast accommodation camp, where all coming stran- gers can be comfortably entertained, and at the most reasonable rates, This is a fact of the very greatest importance, and well known to the country. In addition to this general spirit of accommodation, the hotels of Wash- ington will be ample in numbers and capacity. Several new ones have been built within the past year, others are in the course of construc- tion, and still others are being greatly en- larged. Yet more will be built in time for the event, some of them large, permanent struc- tures, and others temporary in character, but weli adapted for the purpose they are intended toserve. Then, again, transportation facilities from every part of the country by rail and steamer are ample to meet any demand, and in quality the very best. But the great and con- trolling advantage presented by Washington is the central and accessible location she is able to offer for the necessary exposition buildings. Pleasantly situated, with the most delightful surroundings, they can be quickly reached by street railway lines and cabs from every quar- ter, and they are furthermore within easy walk- ing distance from every thickly settied portion of te city. Aside from the above and the score of other reasons to be advanced showing that the seat of government is the natural and proper place for such an exhibition, the last named consideration alone outweighs everything that can be said in favor of New York. It is very weil toaseribe the Arthur Rich- mond letters to the pen of “Gail Hamilton,” if any one is satisfied with the arguments in sap- port of that theory, but why drag the ‘‘inspira- tion” of Mr. Blaine into the business? What “Gail Hamilton” writes is the product of her own inspiration, and nobody would be more Prompt to assure the public of this, if con- sulted, than Mr. Blaine himself. One of his old stories which fits the case exactly is that of the Pennsylvania farmer who consulted the justice of the peace about the transfer of a lot of land without his wife’s signature. “Why don’t you make your wife sign the deed?” asked the justice. ‘Make her!” cried the farmer, “I reckon, jedge, you don’t know the family.” The white cap industry does not flourish as well in Wisconsin as in Indiana, A party that Visited August Belz at Appleton on Sunday night, to flog him for wife-beating, came away with one of their own men dying on their hands, and a lot of others in a used-up condi- tion, This shows the disadvantage under which illegal methods of discipline always labor as compared with legal methods. If those men bad had the courage to swear outa warrant and have it served by an officer of the law, Bela would have resisted arrest only at the peril of bis life, and any injury he did the constable would have been sharply punished by the law. As it is now, he is master of the situation. He ean go on beating his wife, if he chooses, and no wore white caps will venture to molest him; while no legal penalty can be visited upon him for defending himself from unauthorized as souls, —_—_—!O_—.... Every newspaper letter from Paris contains some new form of the. old complaint, that the United States are poorly represented at the Paris Exposition in return for their appro- priation of a quarter-million dollars. This does not appear to be any fault of the managers, for the best management in the world cannot ac- complish anything in the face of apathy on the Part of exhibitors themselves. The Americans with things of real interest toshow are waiting, probably, for the Columbus celebration at ‘Washington in 1892, ——— Why make such a fuss over the wording of a statute, becanse some enthusiastic patriots are a year ahead of time in increasing the stars in the flag toforty-cwo? The newstates are about as good as admitted already; the door is wide open, and they have nothing to do but walk in and be seated. Aji the technical arguments in the world cannot take «single star out of the flag when it has once found a place there, ‘That is certain, because the attempt was made ® quarter-century ago and proved a failure. eo One way to keep cool in Washington is to think sbout Yuma, Arizona, where the ther- mometer yesterday went 10 degrees than here. Above all things, don’t fret! ani When anybody in the state of Massachusetts shouts “Harrah for Russell!” John E., and William E., and twenty others of note take of ‘their hate and answer: “Thank you.” atl Wut Do Yoo Warr ‘The difficult part of advertising is to anticipate your wants The Clearing Sale of Summer Goode offers the opportunity to secure what you wast ate price lower than you snticipated paying.
