Novs, ‘Treasurer Evening Star Newspaper Company, Subscribed and sworn to before me this second day of September, A.D. 1889. Jou T. C. CLARK, Notary Public. a i A Business Pointer. Nothwithstanding the fact that the month of August just closed has been one of the dullest if not the very dullest ever experienced in Washington, the above figures show the very handsome increase of 2,966 in the average daily circulation of Taz Stan, as compared with the corresponding month last year. And, what is of more significance and importance to advertisers, this growth is purely natural, and permanent in character, not being swelled by the free distribution of sample copies, or any of the transparent methods so commonly adopted, withthe hope of imposing upon the credulity of the public. But even more striking and satisfactory is the growth in the advertising business of the paper, as shown by a similar comparison. In August, 1888, the number of new advertisements printed in Tue Stax was 3,508; in August, this year, the number was 4,604, being an increase of 1,096, or within a trifling fraction of THIRTY THREE PER CENT: These figures tell their own story, without comment. They show that the public knows, without solicitation, how to reach the public. Especially, and in the most conspicuous man- ner, is this true in regard to all shortadvertise- ments, such as “Wants,” “For Rent,” “For Sule,” ete., ete. These retlect in the most graphic way the daily life of a community, and of these Tae Star prints every year more than three times the number of bona sid: announce- ments of the same class authoritatively appear- ing im any other paper in Washington. <a ___ An unnecessary hubbub is being created in the newspapers over the fact that General Sherman was required to vacate a reserved chair iu = drawing-room car in which he bad teated himself, by mistake or otherwise, on the trip from Milwaukee to Chicago the other day. ‘The affair is not one in regard to which much indignation ought to be poured out. Whena tan pays in advance, and an extra price, too, for a reserved s whether it be in a car ora theater, he wants it, and is entitled to it, whether it happens to be occupied for the time being by a prince or a pauper, a general or a high private. It is a matter of taste how one’s rights are enforced in such a case, though every person professing to bea gentleman is bound to be civil and courteous to others, under ell circumstances; but as to the right itself there can be no question. It is more than likely, however, that if the person owning ths seat had known its temporary occupant his claim would have beer waived, suspended temporarily, or at least enforced politely, and itis also more than likely that General Sher- man, who is quick to understand and tenacious is exacting what is due from one gentleman to another, would not for a moment think of Lolding anything rightfully belonging to any one else, The whole affair must therefore scrike the public as@ tempest in a teapot, for which some officious third person has supplied the wind. ——— + <___ If either New York or Chicago wants a local fair or an industrial or commercial exhibition in 1992, or any other year, no objection can reasonably be urged against the gratification of such laudable ambition; but if there is to be ® great international exposition, which alone can fitly celebrate the discovery of America, and to which all the nations of the earth can properly be invited and expected to contribute, both in visitors and exhibits, it must be held under the auspices of the general government, and the place for it is the national capital. ‘The project is one which concerns the whole people, slike im purpose, management, and ultimate re- sults. If it is to be a complete success it must tuerefore be kept iv the hands of those repre- senting the whole country, and not made the means of building up the business of any one city or locality, at the expense of all the others, Ja this respect the City of Washington is unique, She is both the friend and ward of all her sis- ters, and the rival of none. Besides, she has ample suitable grounds for the necessary build- ings, and can take care of the crowd that is ture to be called together by such an attrac- tion. In these respects she also is unique. These few facts tell the whole story: Wash- ington is the place, and the only proper place, for the great exhibition, -_—_—_——— ‘The Amr ric yn international congress at Wash- ington this fall has called forth some comments from the Europe n press which indicate a dis- turbed feeling on the other side of the Atlantic. If the United States had, in the past, maintained such relations wit: her immediate neighbors as might properly have been expected, ther® would be uo occasion either for a congress or for European apprehensions concerning its results. It seems curious that the bond be- tween this country and England, or Ger- many, or France is closer than that which unites it to Mexico or Colombia. Europe bas of course encouraged this state of efsirs. Commerce which we have thrown aside she has eagerly sought and she has made liberal concessions for the sake of holding fast to it Im the coming congress she sees, of course, &symptom on our part that we have begun to appreciate tue situation and bid fair to make friends with our neighbors. Our complete success in that particular would deal her interests a pretty serious blow, Hence the disquiet oo Carlisle Graham has at last achieved, accord- ing to the testimony of several friends, the feat hitherto believed to be impossible, of going over Niagara falls and living to describe his experience. He does not describe it with « great deal of spirit, it is true; he is still too sore for that, But his body bears eloquent wit- | LO% ness to the fact that be has had» pretty tough trip somewhere. It is now “Steve” Brodie's turn; and, if what Graham tells us is all trae, the chances of a speedy funeral for the jumper are excellent. 1 The Cronin murder ease will be tried, it is thought, by « jury consisting chiefly of the im the country about Chicago. | They are expected, at least, to have no preju- dice in favor of one side or the other in the Irish factional fight.
