Warr Herxox, Cashier Evening Star Newspaper Company. Subscribed and sworn to before me this twenty-fifth day of November, A.D. 1889. Joun T. C. CLARK, Notary Public. er ‘Congress is about to convene, and the people of the District should prepare to make a con- certed and forcible appeal to their legislature for protection against a threatened robbery of more than a million dollars. Washington needs a wise liberality on the part of its legis- lators in disbursing the money derived from taxpayers and from the United States to meet the current wants of a prosperous, growing city; it needs also the judicious encourage- ment of special projects for the public welfare, such for instance _ a3 the removal of the long bridge and the building of anew local post office; and it counts upon the impartial consideration by Congress in the selection of a world’s fair site of the weighty arguments in favor of a national celebration at the national capital. Washington is directly and seriously interested in the action which Congress may take in respect to such matters as those above suggested, but the most import- ant practical question of all from the District taxpayer to his legislature is: “What will Con- gress do concerning the payment of the cost of the abandoned aqueduct tunnel?” The United States undertook in the first in- stance to extend the water-works system of the capital as a national project at government ex- pense. The nation had constructed the original system, and the nation proposed to build the extension, with no requirement, suggestion or expectation that any part of the cost would fall upon the District. Butafter two years had passed it occurred to the United Stater to re- quire the water-takers of the District to shar the cost of this extension, on the ground that they would profit by the increased water-sup- ply, and this requirement took the shape of congressional legislation. The implied con- sideration for this charge against the District taxpayers has entirely failed, and the ex- action based upon it should be canceled. The water supply hes not been increased. though the government has wasted millions, through the misconduct of its agents, in dig- ging the tunnel, now abandoned. The water- takers have not requested this work to be done at the District's expense, are not responsible in the slightest degree either directly or through their agents for the misconduct which rendered the work worthless, and have not received any benefit whatsoever from the work upon which: an implied contract to render compensatior cau be based. It is within the power of the body having exclusive legislation in District affairs to ruin every local taxpayer by exacting excessive taxes and squandering the money. But will Congress so exercise this power that more than a million dollars will be wrang from the District to pay for the expensive binndering of the government's agents in a work begun originally as a national pro- ject, and over which the District has had st no time the slightest control? The nation. throngh negligence, has been robbed. Will it in its turn rob the little District to meet losses due solely to its own neglect? In most re- quests from Washington to its legisletors the appeal is directed to their wise discretion. In this case their sense of justice and honesty is touched. oo A “penny famine” is what now threatens the large cities of the west and southwest. The people have learned to use the long-despised one-cent coin, and the needs of circulation have increased far beyond the power of the government machinery to supply them. The Philadelphia mint is about two months behind with its orders for these pieces, in spite of keeping at work night and day turning them out. The result of such scarcity is that the poor people suffer more than the rich. Where change cannot be readily made for purchases, prices of small commodities adapt themselves all too promptly to the existing conditions and become multiples of five—the one, two or three cents of difference inuring always to the profit of the seller and not of his customer. The seller, in his turn, cannot make so many sales, and the producer feels a pinch. All that C gress can do in the way of remedying this shortcoming ought to be done without delay, by liberal appropriations for the coinage and shipment of copper cents, - —> + Frances E. Willard’s address on dress reform does contain some startling ideas, certainly. Catch Edison, she says, and constrict him in- side a wasp waistcoat, and be sare you'll get no more inventions; bind a bastle upon Bismarck, and farewell to German unity; coerce Robert Browning into corsets, and you'll have no more ; put Parnell into petticoats, and home rule is a lost cause, That is rhetorically fine, bat it does not end the story. Catch any mem- ber of the gentler sex and thrust her into a man’s hat and coat, and waistcoat and trousers and boots, and you have no longer the loveliest work of the creative art—a woman, a ‘The Paris illustrated almanac which has jast come out with portraits of Cleveland and Thur- man, the ‘‘new President and Vice President of the United States,” is, after all, not much further from the truth than some of the Amer- fean newspapers which keep a stock of cuts on hand and use the same one for M. M. Estee and Dom Pedro and General Cyrus Bussey, or for Lady Churchill, the Duchess of Marlborough and Miss Gwendolen Caldwell, There isa threat in the air that another Joggins raft of logs will be floated down from Nova Scotia to Cape Cod in the spring. Here is a subject for the maritime conference to con- sider. A committee to report on the practice Of leaving loose logs in steamship tracks as an obstruction to navigation had better be ap- pointed at ouce, before the Jogzins people get too far ahead with their work to stop. ae Chieago ought to be ruled out of the list of world’s fair possibilities, anyway, no matter who else stays in. It was from that city that we first heard of the transfer of Columbus's glory to Lief Eriksen. When Eriksen's cele- bration day comes around, Chicago ean have her fair if she wants one; but just now we are talking about Columbna, ‘The artificial silk made by Count Chardonet from cellulose is said to be highly explosive.

The “BEAUFORT,” the “GRAFTON” and the “BELVIDERE.” They are three distinct styles of Dress Overcoats—this season's contribution of the English fashion moulders to the world of style, origi- nated in the roalms of Swelldom and brought to per- fection by the genius of American artists. Tho “BEAUFORT” is a “Snappy,” close-fitting, stylish garment made from smooth-faced material—Kersey or Melton—strap seams, inlaid velvet collar, seamless back, single breasted, fly front, raw Gages. The colors we're showing are Black, Brown, Blue, Electric Blue, Green, Drab and Fawn and in several shades of the staple colors—@15 to #35. The “GRAFTON COACHING COAT” is a Double- breasted Overcoat of English box cloth, made up sims- lar to the “BEAUFORT,” only that it's double-breast- ed. We're showing this shape in every color from the Delicate Cream with white pearl buttons to the quieter but not less elegant Seal Brown and Sober Black—$20 to $35. The “BELVIDERE” is a single-breated overgar- ment, slightly longer than the “Beaufort,” double stitched seams and edges and seam in center of back. ‘This is n quietly elegant Overcoat, made from smooth- surfaced fabrics and comes in quiet colors—Black, Blue, Seal Brown and Gray—815 to 835, The above described are Dress Coats strictly.
