CLarg, Notary Public, There is no city in the United States, it may safely be said, where the Knights Templar would have met with a heartier welcome than is extended to them im Washington. There is none where so rare @ combination of amuse- ment and profit could have been crowded into the brief period of the conclave. The home of the government that counts the Knights among its most loyal citizens, is a place which none of them ought to miss seeing. Here they find the machinery of a great nation at work, mov- ing more smoothly and peacefully than the petty wheels of many a town council. In the laying out of the streets, in their general condition, in the tasteful architecture that adorns them on either side, in the broad lawns and generous foliage, they see the making of a model city— of one which will undoubtedly be, in time, the handsomest on the globe. Every man of them will go home with « prouder feeling and a warmer glow of patriotism in his breast for the consciousness that he, as a citi- zen of the United States, is a co- proprietor of this beautiful capital. He will understand what is meant when Washington claims from Cougress that consideration which the seat of any state government geta from its legislature for the asking. He will appreciate her pleas for the redemption of her water front, and for liberal appropriations for police and sanitary purposes. He will be well satisfied when his represesentative votes for the just treatment of the one municipality of common American ownership; and he will enter on his tablets a memorandum to come back, and bring his whole family, to visit the world’s fair in 1392. ee Next to the benefits derived by the govern- meut from a thorough establishment of civil service reform principles in the depertments at Washington would be those resulting from a more stable tenure in the consular service. It isthe bane of our foreign commercial rela- tions that their atmosphere is one of constant change. A consul scarcely gets well acquainted with his duties before he is recalled. The an- swer is often made to this complaint that it is unsafe to expose an officer on a meager salary, and thousands of miles away from home, to the temptation of a too long and intimate acquaint- ance with shippers who have favors to ask of their friends. That difficulty, however, could be obviated by changing consuls about from one post to another, iu a regular process of promotion sach as prevails in the army, for example. The ever-growing spirit of conserv- atism in the State department, exemplified in the increase in the list of old appointees re- tained under each administration, is a good sign, and the consular clerk system, under which a body of intelligent young men are be- ing trained to the work of the foreign service— which is a business of itself, as much subject to special laws and forces as banking or manu- facturing or any other branch of trade—ought to be encouraged and extended by congres- sional aid. — 2 ‘There is no need of a refracting mist in the air of Washington this week to produce the glories of the rainbow. All the colors, prime and composite, may be found in the banners and festoons that adorn our streets, and ifa wealth of golden sunlight such as ushered in this busy day continues, we shall have nothing to complain of. The first visit of the grand officers of the conclave ought to be to Gen. Greely, to secure the co-operation of the weather bureau with the other conditions tributary to a week of unqualified enjoyment. a “The girl I left behind me” will wish she had come along when she reads the 20-page Star her SirKuight will send her this evening. It will tell her more in one day about the con- clave and the people who compose it than her ! Maarzs Dave Srozz, 2014 F STREET, October 7, 1889. A YEW PLAIN FACTS ABOUT DRUGS. Every one needs Medicine cecastonally. Some ‘Reed s great deal, and to the latter would more partioularly speak. ‘Did it ever occur to you that youare paying too much for your Medicines? Two years ago I had the temerity to inaugurate « crusade aginst high pricesim Druga, being confident that the business could be successfully man- aged at » considerably less profit than was then Deing charged. What = tempest was crested you no doubt remember, and what a revolation ‘bas been worked you are no doubt aware, That my effurts have been appreciated is evident in the rapid growth of my business, For months past Ihave been doing the largest Retail Drug Business in thecity. But what I wish tosay today is in reference to PRESCRIPTIONS. You cannot tell whether you are getting your prescription compounded at fair prices or not, soare, toacertain extent, at the mercy of the Grugyist. Will not the man who charges you three or four prices for an article whose value ‘You are familiar with be apt to charge you Much more in proportion for the prescription ‘that you know nothing about? Iclaim to be the only Drugyist in this city who has a SEPA- BATE ROOM and separate experienced clerks for Prescription work, and I GUARANTEE to compound any Prescription at from fifteen to forty per cent lower than any drugzist in Wash- ington. ‘Why not send your Prescriptions to me? ‘Tf you live at a distance and cannot call, and it is Prescription that is not urgent telephone and I will send s messenger for it and return it ‘when compounded; or, if it is something that you do not need ins hurry,send by mail and it will be promptly delivered when com- pounded.

Whatever re- vision of the constitution may be accomplished, the glory is evidently not to be enjoyed by the “brave general.” The Boulangists are aban- doning allegiance to their old leader and be- coming “revisionists,” Canada yawns for the discarded schemer, oe It is unfortunate that « series of backscts made it impossible to clear up all the dirt and rubbish caused by recent street improyements in time to have the Knights Templar see Wash- ington im her best dresa, If we cannot have Perfection, however, there is no reason why we should not have the next best thing.

Women have been given the ballot there for several years, and the verdict of the male part of the population is like the little boy’s com- ment on the pudding that made him sick: “Good—but no more.” ————— Threats, insults and inuendoes have failed to move Mr. Powderly from the position which he took a long time ago and to which he has held fast in the face of opposition which would have cowed many a weaker man. He atill believes, ss he stated in his address at Chicago yester- day, in a shorter working day, but is firm in bis faith that it cannot be brought abont by strikes and boycotts. Arbitration he regards as the only hope of labor ia the adjusimens of its relations with capital; and all the history of the last four years confirms this theor: $< Edward Atkinson, that indefatigable statis- tician, has figured out that sbout twenty per cent of the cost of all the food we eat is Jost through our iguorance of how to cook it, It might bea good idea to calculate next how much of the nutritive virtue of our food is wares mn eth havea failure to eat it prop- erly. i The fling has so often been made at Massa- cbusetts that her women o1 her men, that the sterner sex pepe y = pombe in to catch up.
