WASHINGTON: THURSDAY : == ——= THE EVENING STAR has the fullest Local Cireulation of any Newspaper in the World, and as an Advertising Mediuw in worth mere than ail the other papers published in ea Wisshington ew York Office: Boom 83, Tribune “Building, —=—=—=—$— OO Interesting movements affecting the future of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal are in Progress in the courtsand in the Maryland Jegislature. Bills have been filed at Hagers- town and in this city im behalf of the bond- holders of 1544, asking for the appointment of ® receiver and the repair and operation of the anal as awaterway through the receiver's agency. Governor Jackson in his message of Yesterday to the Maryland legislature calls Upon the state to prevent tho sale of the canal by foreclosure of the mortgages upon it, in- Volving, he tears, a transfer of the ownership Or control of the canal to the Baltimore and Obio railroad, which owns a majority of the bonds to be foreclosed. He contends that this railroad, with ite claim of an irrepealable charter and right to charge exorbitant rate for transporta‘ion, would be able to exact such tribute from the people as it might determine, and that the interests of the whole people of the state demand that some provision shall be Made to save the canal and to see that itis main- tained as on independent line of transporta- tion. He recommends that it be leased to certain persons interested in having it maintained asan independent line of transportation who have conferred with the board of public works with the purpose of making such an arrangement. Bo far as the inuteresta of the people of Wash- ington and Georgetown are concerned, they would perhaps be best promoted by the repair of the canal and its maintenance under busi- hess management as a waterway, competing with the railroads. It would be necessary to put considerable money into it torun it suc- cessfully and its manxgement would have to be entirely divorced from politica, If the sbandonment of the canal as « waterway should in the end be unavoidable its acquisition as a railroad bed by some competing company would evidently be more advantageous than ite absorption by the Baltimore and Ohio. The affairs of the canal are, however, so badly tangled, and the constitution of Maryland ties the hands of the state so tightly aguinst the gratification of its desire to relieve the bank- fupt corporation, that the consideration of what will be best for the people living along the line of the canal is not likely to play mach of @ part in the settlement of the controversy. The bondholders, among whom the Baltimore and Obio is the most prominent, seem to be in the best position to make an effective decision aud to take energetic action in the matter. Washington has secured the restoration of the water-power which the canal supplied, and can watch the straggle over it as a trans- portation agency incourts and legislature with greater equanimity on that eccomnt, —$<—<— Mr. David Thayer, of Boston, calls in an itfue- trated pamphlet for the organization of an aerostatic society. He watches gulls going for 8 whole week at the rate of fifty miles an hour and carrier-pigeons a shorter period at the speed of a hundred miles in a hundred min- utes, and he concludes that given an apparatus of large kites aud the resistance to that force by means of a drag at opposite ends of three or more draught lines we have an aerial railway, His theory is compendious!y expressed thus: Force No. 1 is the direct action of the wind Bpon the airophones or kites; Force No. 2 is the resistance which the drag offers to the wind. By the judicious use of these forces we are to be enabled to take dizzy journeys over lund and sea, to cross the pole and find what is hidden there and thereabouts in the frozen re- gions north sad south. to save the long excur- sions on camel-buck over the Sahara and through Asian steppes, im a phrase to annihi- Lite time aud distance in a palace car sus- pended high in air.

In view of the declarations of the republican platform and administration respecting the maintenance and extension of the reform, the selection of men hostile to the reform to carry out the party's pledges on the subject would have been a dis- tinet act of treachery and political bad faith, The republican party has promised extension of the reform and the republican Speaker has sppointed a committee which, it is believed, may safely be trusted to carry that promise into effect, A dishonorable packing of the committee would have consisted in appointing spoilamen upon a civil service reform com- mittee, who would seck to evade or nullify the party’s promises. and instead of correcting de- fects in the existing !aw and compelling its full enforcement would atilize evasions of or weak- esses in the law to secure, if possible, ite re- ee Se eee | Gov.

Cixanuse Suz Or Wras AT acon iS Bi um pop 1 DP D bi 10 per cent discount seems to be a very mild redue- tion in price in these days of “Slauchters” and othe? sanguine methods of disposing of stocks. But let us calmly analyze the stories of these fabulous reduec- tions. You may read of “20 per cent discount” ad yet when you come to investigate you'll prefer the 10 percent off Palais Royal prices, How is that? It is easily explained. But few merchants reduced prices prior to Christ mas, and who of them did not mark wraps at = price that made allowance for the losses their credit busi- ‘ness was sure to bring, Thus itis 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 plainly marked prices—of the Palais Royal. This may be not well explained. One morning's shopping will tell you better. ULSTERS.—10 per cont off marked prices.
