THE EVENING STAR, |Tamos Jovexnz Avo Onmewne WASHINGTON: CROSBY S&S. NOYES.................. Editor, = THE EVENING STAR has tne fullest Local Cireuiation ofany Newspaper in the Werta, and as an Advertising Diedium is worth mere than all the cinef payers pupussed im Washington. — Bew York Office: Room 93, Tribune Building, —<—$<—<<_—__ The meeting of the forestry congress in Philadelphia does not attract half the notice it deserves, because the people of the United States do not appreciate the work which its members are doing for the whole country’s benefit, The preservation of our forests, pub- lic and private, has ceased to be a-matter for mere theorizing and discussion. It demands prompt and honest work. It is the same with the planting of trees on the bare and rocky hillsides of the east and the vast sun-baked plainsof the west, By persistent effort the forestry congress has stirred up several legislatures to the point of establishing a yearly “arbor day” and enacting other laws for the encouragement of tree-culture. The forestry division of the Department of Agriculture, under the energetic management of Dr. Fer- now, bas made its influence felt throughout the Union; and report says that its exhibit at the world’s fair in Paris has awakened a positive en- thusiasm among the judges as well as the spec- tators skilled in the art of arboriculture. It is time, certainly, when European nations are be- ginning to study the future with a view to sup- plying our couatry one of these days with ‘wood, that Americans should bestir themselves and see whether there is not a way of keeping our home market filled with a home product. a Governor Hill's castor is fairly in the ring, @nd it is for Mr. Cleveland to say how long it shall lie there undisturbed. The difference in the temper and methods of the two men could not be better illustrated than by the way they respectively treat this presidential question. Mr. Hill makes his bid with such frankness that there is no mistaking its meaning. Mr. Cleve- land sits quietly back and waits for the prize to come to him, but takes good care not even to fan himself too hard for fear of driving it back when it has once started in his direction. $$ The outbreaks of second advent prophecy are of more or less regular recurrence, but the prophets are gradually losing their grip upon mankind. In 1843, and again in 1857, the people who believed in Father Miller's theories got ready their ascension robes. In 1867 there was a less widespread panic, and in the latter part of 1873 still another, a trifle further-reaching but not approaching some of its earlier prede- ceasors, The prophecy that the 25th of Octo- ber, this year, will witness the grand uprising, is believed by many people; but the world has grown wonderfully skeptical within the tast fifty years, and each successive failure on the part of the seers to do their seeing straight has made the case worse. It is calculated that there are 33,000 second adventists in the whole popu- lation of seventy odd million souls in the United States and Canada, and, as was said of the loaves and fishes, what are they among so many? Not enough, probably, to cause a mate- Fial rise in the price of linen robes, a Ex-Governor Hartranft’s death removes one of the most notable figures in the civil and military history of Pennsylvania. His splendid record as a soldier will be remembered by his countrymen long after the acerbities of the Political warfare in which he played so promi- ment a part between 1865 and 1880 have lost their bitterness and been forgotten. = The exposition meeting last night is a re- minder, not locally needed, that Washington is still m the ring as a vigorous world’s fair can- @idate. United counsels and a cheerful confi- dence, in striking contrast with the condition of affairs in the rival cities, characterize the capital's campaign. ee Henry Villard isonce more on top of the Northern Pacific railway. It has taken him somewhat less than five years and six months toclimb upagain after having been rudely shaken off by the last great upheaval. When he dropped then he announced that he was merely going to take a vacation; or, in the more classic phrase of Catiline’s defiance, “I go but Ireturn.” It will bes glorious day for him when he visits the northwestern coast once more as president of the company which he didso much tomake and save. He will find that the people there hold him in grateful re- membrance, and that his name is a synonyme for everything that is liberal and enterprising. He will find that the country which he opened up to transcontinental commerce has had a thrifty growth, and that the prophecies which he made for it, and which so many more con- servative financiers pronounced wild vagaries, are either fulfilled or well on the road toward fulfillment. His restorationgto power will be accepted there as the last act in a drama of poetic justice, and he will be welcomed as the rightful heir who has returned to his own. a All the scientists of the African eclipse ex- pedition have been working extra hard for the last month so as to reduce their flesh, They are going near a cannibal country. $a Senator Manderson is getting almost as much abuse for sending back his pension check as for taking it in the first place. It is hard to suit everybody. $$$ ___ ‘That offer of $50,000 cash to Jay Gould for the material to make a book of reminiscences ‘was too generous by half. The reminiscences which Jay Gould is willing to relate in print are not the ones the public would pay any very large price for. It is those about which he prefers to keep silent that would command the money, and a million dollars would not be too much for a volume of such choice tidbits. Sa Senators Pettigrew and Moody will make a strong team as the representatives of South Dakota. They are experienced and able legis- lators, and the new state will enjoy from the outset influence in the councils of the nation. Why sttach a political significance to the ezar’s having addressed the kaiser in French? He has to speak his own language at home, poor fellow, and might be forgiven for seizing every opportunity for a change. — Is Missouri going to let John M. Glover pull down its Vest?

All the conditions are favorable—our stock and the weatheg. Talking about stock—if you've made the comparison you know yourselves, if you haven't, ask any one who has and their unbiased answer will be: Sats and Com pany carry the largest and most complete line of Boys’ and Chiddren's Clothing that’s to be found in the District. ‘Why, there's not another store could hold one-quarter part of the stock that we've got congregated on our second floor—to say nothing of # “heaped full” stock room, The qualities you'll find where you've always found them—eading, The prices flagging even alittle behind those of last season. We throw our whole twenty-five years’ experience into the selections we make in the markets,and that’s why in our house every style is attractive, and you don't have to pull and haul over s parcel of old stock and indiscriminate mass of bad judgment. But then you ought to know that by this time, and, judging from our “booming” business, we guess you do. Our $2.50 and $3 Suits—(Short Pants)—we don’t elaim them to be all wool—You don’t want any of that kind of wool—But they are satisfaction-giving mixtures. We guarantee them for just what we rep- resent them—the best $2.50 and $3 Suits that ever came into this city. . ‘The $3.50 and upward ARE STRICTLY ALL WOOL and can’t be matched under s five dollar note. ‘They're our school specialties. A boy's suit has got to take care of itself.—Ours wili—and well.

Ssy, gentlemen, one of our buyers has just got home from marketing trip—and the neatest and newest thing in an Outside Coat came along with him—A BLACK CHEVIOT CHUMLEY AT 815.—They can't be matched. —Later on, likely, they'll be imitated, but we can’t prevent that. These are cut full length, with a deep cape—just as good every way as the $25 ones— really. Whether you want to buy #810 Suit or a $55 Over- Coat, or none at all, we want you to look anyway at our line of $15 Suits and $15 Overcosts.—Come critical— Look for flaws in the quality, fit and making—Put them toevery test that you know of.

In supervising the construction of our stock for the present season we “spread ourselves,” not alone in the construction of the finest kinds ‘twas possible to produce, but also in the quan- tity and variety of designs and styles necessary to meet the demands of our increasing business, "Tis well we did. The season is not well under way yet, and the increase in the volume of our trade isin the light of = revelation to us, Wenever imagined that ‘twas possible to do such s business in our present space. We are, in fact and in truth, doing the cream of the clothing business of Washington, Tho Point we wish to make is this: That the people's eyes have been opened to one or two important facta that, until Iately,seemed to have escaped their notice, One is that our prices are always Uniformly reasonable. We neither mark our goods AWAY UP first of the season nor cut prices in two when ‘the season's over. Another is that others do those things, and consequently cannot afford to meet OUR PRICES AT THIS TIME. Add to these the fact that we produce and sellonly clothing of style and sterling merit. The finest is not too good for us to handle or for our patrons to buy and wear. g ROBINSON, PARKER & CO.. REPRESENTATIVE AMERICAN CLOTHIERS, 0018-00 319 SEVENTH STREET.
