THE EVENING STAR bas the fullest Local Clreulation of any Newspaper in the Wortd. and as an Advertising Medium is worth more than all the other yapers published im Washington. er Kew York Office: Room 93, Tribune Building. ———_—_—_—_—_—_—_—_—_—_—___ The democratic convention in Virginia yes- terday nominated one of the favorites for gov- ernor and another for lieutenant-governor without drawing upon the list of dark horses, Its only remarkable achievement was the con- coction of a platform so broad as to take on anybody who chooses to mount it. The demo- cratic party, it asserts, founded the public school system of Virginia, and will continue to support it, and “‘to this end” the federal gov- ernment ought to make liberal appropriations for the benefit of the illiterate in the various states—on the plan proposed bya republican Benatar. The democratic party, it adds, is the friend of the laborer; and therefore the con- vention favors the collection of statistics by the labor bureau of the United States—an in- stitation founded under a republican adminis- tration and continuously presided over by a republican appointee. The democratic party of Virginia, it says, “favors the complete re- monetization and free coinage of silver”— an idea which the last democratic admin- istration in federal affairs fought against, tooth and nail. The democratic party. it fur- ther declares, “renews its adherence to the principles and policies on the tariff and inter- nal revenue so often enunciated in the plat- forms of the state and national conventions, © © © and especially does it insist upon the immediate abolition of the tax upon tobacco and fruit brandies,” regardless of the fact that the latest democratic national platform and the platforms of the successive democratic state conventions of Virginia for some years have been at deadly odds on the question of a pro- tective tariff, and that the voice of the party, as enunciated in the Mills bill inthe Fiftieth Congress, was flatly opposed to the sweeping away of the internal taxes on tobacco and liquors. However, as Senator Barbour is quoted as saying, platforms do not amount to much any- ‘The Virginia democrats rely for success this year upon the personal popularity and po- litical strength of the nominees, a vigorous protest against negro supremacy in the state, and a revolt, open or concealed, by an element of the republicans against Mahone's bossism. On the other hand, the republicans are work- ing more harmoniously than usual, though the opposition to Mahone is not by any means quieted, and the state organization will have the active support of the national party and of the administration. A campaign is promised which will make the fur fly. sseesaraes Seet. 2 ae Whatever his personal views on the subject of female suffrage may be, no intelligent well- wisher of the new state of Washington can fail to congratulate her on the defeat of the propo- sition to submit to popular vote, as an amend- to her constitution, a clause conferring the balloton women. It is the common fault of governments “made to order,” as it were, that their constitutions are overloaded with matters not forced upon the attention of the people through the lessons of experience, and not positively essential to the working of a com- plete organization. Then comes a period of repeal agitation—a dangerous ordeal for any popular government to pass through, because it means a weakening of public respect for the organic law. It is far better to let a new state constitution contain too littie than to try to stuff too much into it. If more clauses are needed later they can be added at will, without violating the sanctity that ought to surround the instrument which makes the state possible. A finer illus- tration of this principle could not be found than is afforded by the constitution of the United Staves, which would in these days be considered far from exhaustive in its treat- ment of the topics raised in the convention that framed it. The convention of Washington, and all other constitution-making bodies, can well afford to take the great American charter as a model in point of brevity and in limitation of topics to be treated. and leave the details to be Med in, as needed. by the legislature. ————— Our friends in Chicago need not be troubled about the delay in raising funds for the erec- tion of our Washington memorial arch. They will surely see the arch when they come here to behoid tue international exposition in 1892.— New York Sun. Everybody is ready to believe that the arch will not be erected before an international ex- position 1s held in New York, and that an inter- national exposition will not be held in New York before the arch is erected. The events imagined will happen together in some remote age of the far-distant future. If there is anything in a name, it is interest- ing to learn that one American man-of-war christened the Boston fell into the hands of the British, and another was burned to save her from a like fate. Is the new Boston the victim of a venerable hoodoo? $< The Burmese believe that the ruby ripens like fruit, being colorless at first, then yellow, thea green, then blue, and lastly « brilliant red. They probably find in this theory a suficient explanation of the existence of the diamond, the topaz, the emerald and the sapphire, as Dr. Darwin, and the philosophers from whom he inherited his trend of thought, explained the development of the higher ani- mals up to man. —— The Brooklyn ¥Y. M. 0. A.. taking s lesson from the doings of the children of this world, adopts for its parlors an element of innocent attractiveness now utilized by the dram shops and pool rooms, and hangs out the sign ‘Base Ball Returns Inside.” The superiority in wis- dom of the children of this world in their generation, once rightly conceded, may at some time need to be questioned. oo h the French senate has condemned General Boulanger and his chief co-conspira- tors to be immured in a fortress, they do not seem to be suffering a great deal from their imprisonment as yet. It would have been less Fidiculous to have banished them from the re- public forever, for in that case they would voluntarily have assisted in the execution of the sentence. oe This is the day when, according to one of the famous prophets of our generation. the world is to come to an end All is well, however, up to the hour of going to press, —_— ‘The watchman who received an injection of the new elixir and got the first long and hearty sleep he bas enjoyed for years ought to publish his experiences widely for the benefit of his | fraternity. It is not the general rule that watchmen are afflicted with insomnia; and it is therefore fair to assume that those few who are must suffer real torments. If the clixir ac- complishes nothing else, it may be the means of reducing to uwiformity the practice of a Very useful and important class of workers after dark. oo ‘The complaint of the “regulators” arrested %m Louisiana for running the politics and morals of their neighbood with the aid of firearms, that it is most inconvenient for them to suffer imprisonment now, as the work on their farms will lose ground through their absence, is re- fresbing in its cheekiness. How much the work may have got behindon the farms of their victims they do not state, T= 30a oo EDWARD L. DENT, Proprietor. aos THE SUGAR. HOUSE. 731 7TH ST. ¥.W.
