WASHINGTON: SATURDAY «November 30, 1899, CROSBY & NOYES....... ——_——————————— IKE EVENING STAR bas tne fullest Local Circulation ef any Newspaper im the Worla, and as an Advertising Diedium uw worth mere than all the tuer payers puvusued fp Washington. ——————————————— New York Office: Room 93, Tribune Building, —_—_—_—$—$—$$$_—_—<_____ The Postmaster General deserves the thanks of the Washington public for forcibly urging, in his report, the pressing necessity of better sccommodations for the city post office. The present ones are a scandal in a city of this size and importance, and, as he pointedly charac- terizes them, have “long been a reproach to the capital and a disgrace to the country.” He suggests, however, as a remedy the con- solidation of the bureaus of the general post office department and the local post office in a new and suitable building upon a convenient site to be purchased by the government. Experience has taught that the best provision for the local post office will be a suitable struc- ture, conveniently situated, separate from the general post office department. Thero is little in common in the work of the two departments. ‘The local post office ought to have, as in other large cities, a building constructed especially and exclusively for its uses in which its needs shall be primarily considered, If it occupies a building as tenant in common with the general post office department the local needs are in- evitably subordinated to the requirements of the national department. When the local and national bureaus were housed together in the past, both outgrew their accommodations, and, the preference naturally being given to the general government, the city post office was cramped more and more and was finally kicked into the street. The Postmaster General's report shows a great and steady increase in the room required for the generat department, If the two departments should again resume the relation of tenants in common a similar ending to that suffered in the past would be feared for the local post office. It is hoped thatthe Postmaster General will endeavor in the first instance to secure in- creased and improved accommodations for the Washington post office in a building of its own, designed and erected for its special use, and will not urge the consolidation suggested unless it is found to be absolutely impossible to secure for it separate quarters. ——— The report of the District Commissioners, handed to the President today, gives an admi- rable and interesting summary of District affairs, and is printed in fall by Taz Stan as matter which directly concerns every local tax payer. In addition to the statement of things which are. the report contains numerous recommendations concerning various matters which the District hopes may be. The Com- missioners indicate that they will submit dratts of proposed legislation to improve the methods of making the tax assessments, to enable the District to give an indefcasible title under tax sales and to regulate the issue of licenses for intoxicating drinks. Among their specific recommendations are the establishment by law of a pension fund for dis- abled firemen, the repeal of the law limiting membership on the local police force to honor- ably discharged soldiers or sailors, a sufficient appropriation to lay all the District electric wires under ground, extension of the laws of the corporation of Washington over the entire District, the enactment of Ta Puus Roraz “Ovsxxo. BEING CONTINUED UNTU- MONDAY EVENING A LAST OPPORTUNITY IS OF FERED TO SECURE SEASONABLE NOVELTIES AT REDUCED, OR SOUVENIB, PRICES. THE “OPENING” FROM A RETROSPECTIVE POINT OF VIEW. The Palais Royal han every reason to thank its pa- trons and congratulate itself on being able to record the most successful “Opeving" in its thirteen years of history. Tn spite of unseasonable and unfavorable weather the volume of business is past all precedent. Is not the reason obvious? Are not the stocks larger and more complete than any previous holiday season? Thousands who have attended the “Opening” have re- plied “Yes.” The preas notices say “Yes.” Forgive the egotism of clipping the following frota the editor- Jaws to prevent secular occupations on Sunday, legislation to relieve the water department of the fixed charges for interest and sinking fund, end provision for the extension of streets and avenues and the rectification of irregular sub- divisions, They endorse the Rock creek park project. Its hoped that the representations of the report concerning the needs of the Dis- trict will receive due consideration from the President and from Congress, oe ee In spite of the disadvantages of being with- Out Votes, citizens of the District sometimes have cause togive thanks that they are not as some other men. Think of the misery of Bos- ton, for example, with a state election every year in November and a municipal election fol- lowing it in December! There is little to won- der at in the movement to muke the state elec- tions, at least, biennial, ——_ ———— The ice man in N.w York city, who has al- ways made it his pride to give full weight to his enstomers, hus been elected to Congress, Let other ice men take due notice, and govern themselves accordingly. ——————— The expected alibis in the Cronin murder ease appear to have proved an unexpected alibi for themselves, a Allen G.

DOZ, UNLAUNDERE! ial columns of The Star's contemporary, THE WASHINGTON POST: “Probably no more attractive displuy has ever been made in Washington than was exhibited on the counters, shelves, in the cases and in the windows at the Palais Royal yesterday. Mr. Lisner, the proprietor, deserves Gli the wuccess he now enjoys, He is a progressive, en- terprising merchant, and has made these “*Openings’ @ marked feature in Washiugton's mercantile branch Of business.” ABOUT PALAIS ROYAL PRICES, Can it be fairly termed egotistic to ask credit for the introduction of the cash business to Washington? Has not the revolution inaugurated 13 years ago been fruitful of good to ali? While other merchants may not have followed in the Palais Royal wake, have they not benefited by the fact that the public no longer seek the markets of Baltimore, Philadelphia or New Yok? Havenot“Poiais Royal Prices," which have become household words, been the indirect cause of this great change? Is not credit due the merchant who has educated the People of Washington up to the fact that the cash busi- ‘eas is mutually denefcial, It was laughed at as an im- Possibility thirteen years ago. And would it not seem thet the Annual Holiday “Openings” are making it appear that the Palais yesterday's editorial column of THE EVENING STAR? “The Thanksgiving season te not found to be too early | 207 Chrtstmas shopping, and many Judirious purchasers are taking advantage of the season before the Christmas rush to select the gifts from the fresh and attractive as- sortments to whieh their attention is called inthe adver- tating cotumns of The Star.” ‘THE LAST BIT OF EGOTISM.
