4 THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D.C. TUESDAY, ‘DECEMBER 31 1889, THE EVENING STAR. “WASHINGTON _ Soups sz ip Washington. Few York Office: Room 83 Tritane Building, We are already in the shadow thrown in ad- vance by the 20th century. The last decade of the present century upon which we are soon to enter will, in all probability, be more memorable than the famous last ten years of the 18th century. Feverish revolutionary movement now, as then, characterizes the epoch. Kings were shaken from their thrones and their blood trickled from the guillotine. The innocent and the guilty alike perished, and war's rade alarms sounded throughout Europe. Political order, religion, ali that society had valued in the past, were appar- ently moribund and a reign of chaos seemed to mauy conservative minds and timid hearts to havo come to stay. Butitwus notso. Blood flowed froely. The map of Europe was changed. Tho commerce of the world was twansformod, and science aad literature as- sumed new forms anda greater power. The thirty years peace followed. Then the seeds that had been sown, here in '76 and in France in’89 and "93 germinated. The party of Lib- erty and Progress was no more to give way to agms and hoary autocracy. The “mighty fed- eration of man” had been born in the brains of the thinker end made possible in the increas- ing pride and pewer of the people. Then come 1843 with its Pyrrhus victory for the throne, and unification of Italy and the death of Bourbon and pseudo-imperial rule and os- tablishment of the third Republic. Slavery here died in the last hours of a hopeiesw struggle, and it has sinee died in Spain and Brazil. In this centary of human upheaval the light of reason has shone with exceeding brightness. Ia the century ahead of us it will shine with h indnitely multip! splendor. > - The decision of Ju ige Dwight in the Komm- ler electrocution ense that the light of the scientific donee was sufficient to remove any reasonable doubt that the passage of a current of electricity of a certuin well determined in- tensity through the vital parts of the body under chosen conditions of contact and re- sistance must result in instant death settles the vexed question in favor of justice and common sense. Inthe wme judicial opinion it ix held that if the qa.stion wero one of the advisa- bility of the change of mode in inflicting the death penalty oy capital punishment the dis- cussion might be prolonged. The court was confined, the judge making the decision ob- served, to the simple question of constitution- ality. The billof rights in the state constitu- tion gave the right to the courts to decide the constitutionality of such laws. although it was doubted if a similar power in respect to na- tional legislation was conferred by the Federal Constitution. The court of appeals will be Kemmler’s last resource. But instant death from overhead electric wires in city streets are becoming so frequent and arousing so much public feeling that even the courts are in- fluenced to give full weight to the evidence that the electric current can kill when deliber- ately applicd. Kemmler will probably be electrocuted, re The number of great statesmen who have died during 1889 is smaller than the usual death-rate. The poets and other literary have suffered greatly. The writers of inter- national law who have shufiled off the mortal coil are considerable in oumbers and fame. Woolsey, Barnard and Wharton are all clearly defined stars in this galaxy. et Elsewhere in Tug Sra is printed a summary of the leading events in the world’s history during 1889. It is in effect an obituary notice of the year which dies ‘tonight, but supplies more interesting reading than the average obituary. The “acciden — + at railroad crossings in this city are frightfally frequent. If there were no grade crossiags there would be no such dis- asters. No surface railway crossings in this broad land, if allowed to remain, should be for a single moment unprotected. In the cities, teeming with population and brisk in business movement, it is indispensable that the surface crossings should be carefully watched. The city of Washington has suffered much from the negligence and parsimony of the railroads crossing her borders and travers- ing some of her principal streets and drives, Only yesterday a man was run down and severely injured on Boundary street at one of these unprotected crossings, Many people have been killed on similar danger spots. The appeal to the local legislature for relief and protection surely ought not to be in vain; it is the solemn appeal of the living, based upon the spectacle of the blood of the dead. os —__ A public | sentiment favorable to the Austra- lian ballot has been created in the state of Maryland. which, unless Senator Gorman is master of the consciences of a majority of the people of that state, will be heard in loud tones if the new legislature does not frame a law in accordance with it. A strong element in the democratic party is committed to the improve- ment of the election laws. The Sen- ator, it is said, tried to head off the movement for ballot reform by as- sembling secretly in a Baltimore hotel the democratic editors and “exposing” the weak points of the Australian system from the Gor- man standpoint But the secrecy did not work, for somebody told all that was done to the city feporters. The Senator's speech is a curious confession. In a word it amounts to this: Bal- lot reform has been tried recently in two states, east and west, and in both the democrats lost the election. Therefore, ballot reform is a humbug. Can the democratic party of Mary- land afford to reject an honest voting plan on the strength of this kind of reasoning? $$ In many cases the grip is a hale hallucina- That secret conclave of Maryland editors seems to have been loaded. —__$<<-« <a ‘The civil service law does not, it is true, se- eure stable tenure of office for efficient clerks by forbidding their removal. But it tends to prevent their removal merely on political grounds by providing a differentstandard from that of political service for filling the vacancies which would be caused by their removal. the vacancy may not be treated as political spoils after it is secured the temptation to make the vacancy for political reasons is largely removed. ————— The mad military antics of the young Ger- man emperor, due to his physical condition, have become so acute that the belief is wide- spread in Europe that he is becoming insane. His disease of the car was intensified by a severe cold caused by one of his midnight sur- prises of his troops newr Berlins Thus physi- al pain drives him from his couch into the chilly night air, where, taking cold in the head he inereases his sufferin -s and this in turn ex- cites his distraught brain.

Now we, as exponents of proper style—whose sole calling and business in life it is to provide proper raiment for siylish men—to watch fash- ion’s changing moods, to note the tendency of thought in matters of dress, and to intelligently interpret it for the guidance of our patrons as well as for our own benefit—say that UP TO SIX O'CLOCK either the Prince Albert Frock or Cutaway Coat, with Vest to match—or white Vest—and mixed Trousers is correct — after which Hour the Full Dress Suit is the proper thing.

But let us calmly analyze the stories of tiese fabulous reduc- tions. You may read of “20 per cent discount” and yet when you come to investigate you'll prefer the 10 percent of Palais Royal prices, How is that It is easily explained. « But few merchauts reduced prices prior to Christ- maa, and who of them did not mark wraps at a price that made allowance for the losses their credit busi- ness was sure to bring. Thusitis that even 20 per cent discount does not bring the credit merchant prices into competition with the 10 per cent offered off the reduced prices—the pisinly marked prices—of the Palais Royal. ‘This may be not well explained. One morning's shopping will tell you better. ULSTERS.—10 per cent off marked prices, Deduct 10 per cent from below-imentioned prices.
