NOYES. — = THE EVENING STAR has the fullest Local Cireulation efany Newspaper in the Werta. and as an Advertising Jiedsum iw worth more than all the siuer payers pususued York Office: Room 93, Tribune Building. The report of Capt. Symons, of which an ab- stract is published in today’s paper, is fall of interesting information and recommendations upon topics of great local importance. Ade- quate consideration is given to the subject of the apportionment of the appropriation for street improvement. One of the most signifi- cant of the statistical exhibits under this bead isthat which shows that in the northwest section, two-thirds of the streets are finally improved, one-half in Georgetown and the southwest, and only one-fifth in north- east and southeast Washington. The last two sections will naturally receive for a time greater comparative consideration than their Population taxable values, etc., would require, if the coming apportionment were the first ever made. For the much-needed improve- ment in the condition of the sidewalks a largely increased appropriation for permit work is re- commended, and the experiments with asphalt and artificial stone block to secure cheap side- walks of better quality than the brick are related. The important projects of extension of the city streets and a straightening of suburban streets, the reclamation or protection of that section which is subject to overflow in times of hoavy flood, and the establishment of Rock Creek park are elaborately and intelligently dis- cussed. The field of Capt, Symons’ work is wide, and the matters with which he deals touch every citizen, The facts and suggestions of his report will be widely read, and his «ble Presentation of them will give them weight. —— The universal testimony as to the working of the Australian ballot law in those places where it has lately been put to « practical test is in its favor. In Montana. where, owing to the com- parative crudeness of the civilization, more or less trouble was expected, it operated like clockwork, in spite of the fact that the ticket was uncommonly long. In Connecticut it proved so excellent as to call forth commenda- tion from sources where doubt and even ad- Yerse prejudice had lurked before; and yet there its operation was hampered by several things, such as the supplying of the tickets by the party organizations and the use of sealed envelopes. In 82 of the Connecticut towns which voted for local officers this month, 592 votes were thrown out for reasons mot made public, 84 for misunderstand- ings with regard to the use of the envelopes, and 39 for having been deposited im the wrong box—an accident extremely Hable to occur where the ticket is concealed from the voter’s sight as well as from the poll clerk's. Forty-three towns, however, report no ballots whatever rejected, and forty-one others, having made no reports, presumptively escaped such miscarriages. The total, therefore, of towns in which the law worked with smoothness and success is larger than that of the towns where any serious hitch occurred. This showing, in a state where the amendments to the original statutes as enacted in Massachusetts, Montana and elsewhere, have tended to retard rather than promote its eiliciency, is pretty good proof that bailot reform on the Australian plan is practi- cable and quite within the reach of the popu- lar understanding. ———————————— Statisticians who devote their chief attention to population are raising the question whether the English-speaking peoples are not destined, in course of time, to overspread and rule the whole world. And well they may. At present the people of the United Kingdom and the United States number about one-fifteenth of the total population of the earth, possess one- thir of its surface and govern one-fourth of its imuabitants, They are increasing with a rapidity unknown to any other civilized race; and there is room enough in the territory stil] at their disposal to enable them to multiply at thecurrentrate for another century and then be doubled, and still not be so thickly crowded together as the people of some old world countries — Belgium. for imstance — are to-day. Calculated upon the most modest basis, the population of the United States by 1930 will not fall short of 480,000,000, and that of England, Canada, Aus- tralia and South Africa will, at the very least, swell the aggregate to 713,000,000; while a gen- erous estimate for continental Europe places its population ninety years hence at 534,000,000. No country on the globe keeps up so constant and intimate commanication with her colonies as Great Britain and no country receives such an immense immigration from foreign lands as the United States; so it is fair to presume that our mother tongue willcontinue to hoid its own wherever it now prevaila. The commer- cial world has already practically accepted English as its standard language, and French and Latin have given way to it in many quarters as the language of science, diplomacy and the higher forms of social intercourse, It is, if all the signs be not misleading, the world-speech of the future, whether those who use it con- quer the physical world by the methods known t us in this era, or are content with a control which makes itself felt rather than seen. a The electric companies which murder their linemeu with live wires, and the common ruffians who do their murdering with axe and bhudgeon and pistol, seem equaily interested in getting rid of the electrocution law in New York. oo The new head of Columbia college, New York, is the young man of whom Franklin Allen said, in prophetic mood: “Seth Low, twice mayor; once governor; then President.” Mr. Low served his apprenticeship as a mayor, has figured as governor of a club, and is now president of an institution of learning. It is wonderful how some people see into the future! There is point to the suggestion of Susan B. Anthony that Queen Isabella ought to be honored in some way by the United States in 1892, Why shoulda’tshe? If the good queen had not sacrificed her jewels to her faith in the enterprise broached by Columbus, we should have nothing to celebrate three years hence. An appropriate though tardy recognition may still be given her if the party most concerned will but conseat, Why should not the coming state of Washington change its name to Isabella? It would save an endless amount of confusion and trouble, give the state even a more ancient title, and be amply sustained by the precedents of Maryland, the Carolinas, the memories of famous personages in Old World history. Seteeroteee The Brooklyn Tabernacle, which was built by faith, fell by the inefficacy of works—the city water works, a The death of another of John Brown's jurors suggests a suspicion that the paragraphers are drawing on a new panel, a There iss movement for three cent fares on the San Francisco street railways, The people have just found out that there are some United States coins smaller than A Recos T'o Bs Provo Ov. ‘The reputation of Robinson's charming and exclusive styles for Boys and Children is not by any means merely local, as is evidenced by our daily shipments to far-off states and terri- tories. Better, brighter and newer things can be seen on our counters now than in any Cloth- ing House we know of. The cause of this is plain. We deal exclusively and extensively in Boys’ belongings. Our time and energies are devoted to the production and collection of all that's good, reliable, desirable and fashionable in the world of Boys’ and Children’s Clothing. While we handle better grades than are ‘usually to be found elsewhere our prices are, by reason of the fact that we devote our entire time and attention to one line af business, lower ‘than poorer qualities can be bought for outside of our house. These things are being daily demonstrated to the entire satisfaction of hun- . dreds of our most intelligent people.
