ee CITY AND DISTRICT. @ The principal value of Tre Evextxo Bran to advertisers is the fact that it is not thrown away after once being read, but passes through half a dozen pairs of hands at least be- fore being tossed aside. This is the adeantage presented by a famly neespaper, WHERE WASHINGTON GAINS. Mr. Eaton Says a Keturn to the Spoils System Would Damage the City. THE LOCAL BENEFITS OF THE CIVIL SERVICE STS- EFFECT ON THE CHARACTER OF THE POPULATION ¢ ITY--THE DISTRICT GOv- ERNMENT AND 1 Ex-Civil Service Commissioner Dorman B. Eaton is at Wormley's, He has lost none of his interest in the civil service. Speaking with a Star reporter today he said no city had been 80 much benefited ‘ashington by the civil service examinations. ‘To return to the spoils “would be a great damage to her interests and prospects. It is but a truism to say that the attractions, prosperity and capacity of her citizens. in no other city are those in the public service now so numerous, or in the future likely to be so numerous, compared with the whole population, as in Washington. No intelligent citizen of the fed- eral district can be indifferent as to the ehar- acter of these officials, or fail to see that they exert a vast influence upon its morals and reputation. If the many thousands in the civil service, below the few who hold high office are to be the m: ers in the lottery of oficial favoritism, or the most cunuing and tn- scrupulons « 0 triumph in the contests for 0: oils system, the low capac? hey will bring to Washington, will strongly tend to debase the general character and good name of the city, “Bat if these places 1 in the futare be filled as they now are b: se who, inafree and | emp competitio erit ail over the Union, have demonstrated a aracter that could not be impeached and a capacity superier to all other competitors, then it is plain that Wash- ington will secure the most worthy, and the whole nation will share in the advantages of having at the nations! capital—which is more and more becoming a great social center—those who will do credit to its moral tone and its in- telligence. thos f THE OLD AND THE NEW. “While it was true,” said Mr. Eaton, “that the old system brought many worthy persons to Washington, it was not less true that it also brought many who would have shrunk from the test of character which the civil service rules apply and who had not the ability to pass the examinations they require, “The tlunkies and bullies of party po to which the old system was favorable. have now in large part ceased to besiege the depart- ments for service at Washington, however much they haunt the Capitol to clamor for places elsewhere, to which no examinations ap- piy. This is the reason why the patronage mongers and the low politicians oppose civil service examinations and the best minds of the country suppor them. “Imaagine that notice were now given that the 5.500 plac Washington now filled through the examinations were to be made va- cant and refilled according to the methods of the old spoils svs Can any one doubt that that there would be « general rash there of the camp followers ofp: and Vandals of polit would ensue would ton, but would resz inferior in moral tone and int which she now has? “The more certain and stable tenure of office which the examinations secure are a great and obvious gain for Washington. Those in the de- litics, h: partments are no longer mere birds of passage, are no longer tempted to be loungers at parti- san headquarters and anxious suppliants at the doors of patronage mongers and great politi- cians, by reason of the daily uncertainty of their official life. They are now able to respect themselves, to cultivate the virtues of family life, and to feel a real interest in the city to which they are a credit. THE DISTRICT GOVERNMEN “It would be a great gain to the District of Coluabia,” said Mr. Eaton, “if the examina- tions were applied to the whole District gov- ernment, as they are to the city post office to the police force, board of health, the bureau of taxes, to the whole clerical force, as they have been applied with vast advantage in the city of Boston. There should be no party patronage, as there are properly no party issucs in connec- tion with those offices, A city that is not allowed to govern itself ought not to have its official service made the prey of place hunters and scheming politicians from all parts of the Union. Proper examina- tions, free to all residents of Washington for its local administration would bring the most worthy into office and prevent so many appro- priations for the city being complicated in Con- gress with questions of local patronage. If the District would make a resoiute effort for this end I should expect the President would make appropriate rules under which party politics and vicious patronage would be excinded from the local government and real tests of merit enforced. Washington would thus gain as much in independence and self respect as it would in character and capacity on the part of her officials. The severance of party politics from administrative work and the enforcement of an educational test for office would also aid the school system of the District and make it much easier to secure the national university which ought to be established at Washington, bat never can be until the national capite shall cease to be the great battle field for office seekers. Such a change would give Washington a much larger influence in its own effairs than it now has without impairing the constitutional su- premacy of Congress. The losers would be the speculators in appointments and the partisan intermeddlers and office seekers who try to make their influence profitable and press for places in the District service. Washington has & just claim to fill its own places of ail grades.” coe — MONTGOMERY COUNTY, MD. Meeting of the Agricultural. Society— Rich Gold-Bearing Quartz, Ete.

To the magistrate she made the fol- lowing statement: “I have had many romantic adventures, do you know, but this is the most romantic of them all. [had a gentleman friend from Philadelphia who visited me in Staunton and read to me an account of the expertness of the female shoplifters in the large bazars in Philadelphia and New York. I fell to thinking over the matter until finally I got the notion into my head that I would try my own hand at it, just to see whether I could take anything without being detected. Not with the idea of stealing, you know, but just to see whether I had the skill and audacity that they possessed. Well, I came here two weeks ago. I had money tomake my purchases with, but I went from one large store to another, picking up any little trifle that took my fancy, I took everything to my hotel room and have it there now. I did not remove the price marks or tags and I can pick out the goods which I got from each store separately. I decided to give a supper at the hotel and invite the superintendents and the ladies from each store from which I had taken anything to meet me, and I intended to ask each lady to identify her own goods and re- turn them to her. And, by the way, I had de- cided to do that very thing tomorrow night. I would not use the goods for myself, I had | abundance without them, Of course I wouldn't want the story of my arrest to get into the Romantic idea, altogether, wasn’t it?” She was present while her trunk was being searched and composedly ate her lunch, and was in the same placid mood when removed to the county prison. The magistrate and de- tectives expressed the opinion that “‘the pris- oner had the strongest nerve for @ novice at shoplifting that they had yet encountered, or was out of her mind and unable to realize her situation.” ‘They inclined to the latter opin- ion, The woman claims to have wealthy and re- spectable connections in Staunton. se — | Logs on a High Bridge Railroad Track.

SALE OF VALUABLE REAL THE CITY OP ASHING TON, the last will and tes- ca Paliee HH A | = a PORTS. THE EVENING STAR is offered to the pud+ lie, im good faith and with confidence, as THE BEST LOCAL ADVERTISING MEDIUM IN THE UNITED STATES. In point of fact, it may be truthfully said that it is without an equal in this respect any where in the world, These averments are borne out by the figures given below, which are compiled from the sworn weekly statements printed in the paper on each Monday in the year, and coudonsed from the sworn tabular statements showing the average daily circulation of the paper during the year 1889, published in Tae Sran on the 18th of January, 1890, Briefly stated, the points upon which the above claim is based are these: That— 1. The Star bas three times the circu- lation of any other paper in VW ashing= ten! 2, The Star’s circulation in Washing- ton is double that of all the other daily Papers published in the city added to- gether!! 3. The Star bas a targer and fuller circulation im the city where printed, im propertion to reading and purchas- ing population, than any other news Paper in the world!!! 4. The Star has tho largest regular and permanent home circulation of any (wo-cent afternoon paper in the United States 211! In support of these clafms and to show the constantly increasing circulation of the paper, attention is invited to the figures following: BAILY CIRCULATION rv 1885-86-87 -88-89, 1883. 1886. 1887. 198%, 1889, Jax...20,456 23,388 25,470 26,356 27,841 Fes...22,029 24,321 26,299 27,161 29,200 MaR...235,549 25,594 26,009 27,490 34,766 APR...22,572 24,727 25,575 27,166 29,852 May. 22,474 24,359 25,742 26,722 29,6: JUNE..21,933 23,902 25,116 27,453 30,173 JULY..21,406 23,186 24,870 26,363 29.650 AUG...21,445 22,364 24.559 23,521 25,595 SEPT..21,033 22,302 24,905 23,324 25,478 Oct...21,497 21,701 24,807 25,946 30,329 Nov...22,049 23,651 23,697 25.514 31,053 DEC...23,000 24,687 26,466 26,752 31,653 Av'ge.22,123 23,682 23,484 27,082 30,090 Increase ....... 1,559 1,803 1,595 3.008 Of this remarkable average aggregate ot 80,090 copies circulated daily, no more than 1,102 copies are sent out of the city by mail, and 1,106 go to suburban places, by express, railway trains, etc., leaving as a net circulation a the city proper the PHENOMENAL PRO- PORTION of 923; PER CENT, or AN AGGRE- GATE of 27,882 copies! Of this number, 21,142 were delivered daily by regular carriers at the homes of permanent sub- ecribers, ‘Tho remaining 6,740 copies represent the sales over the office counter, at the news stands, end by newsboys. But of this latter number a very large proportion is supplied regularly to per- manent residents of the city living in lodgings, &c. (not householders), so that its whole circula tion may be literally said to be in the family circle, While its aggregate circulation there- fore gives Tar Stan a distinctive and enviable position in modern journalism, the fullness of its home circulation, the extent to which it is relied upon by members of the household, and particularly by the pur- chasing portion of the community, are the marked characteristics of the paper, to which no other datly journal now published can furnish a parallel. This is no idle boast on the part of the paper. It is a well established fact, demonstrated to the full satisfaction of the sagacious and enter- prising business men of Washington, who seek and know where to find THE LARGEST RETURNS FROM THE MONEY PAID OUT FOR ADVERTISING. This is proven by the growth of Tur Stan's advertising patronage. Nothing can more surely illustrate the esteem in which any article is held by the public than a constantly increasing demand for it—day by day, week by week, month by month, and year by year,—in the face of ad- verse claims and pretentiouscompetition, The figures following tell the story on this point: NUMBER OF NEW ADVERTISEMANTS FRINTED & 1885 -86-87-88-89, 1ss7. 3,615 347 4,669 5.478 5.395, 4,522 3,350 3,170 4,517 5,313 isso. 4.586 4,529 3.494 5.886 6.088 5.529 4,483 4,606 5.889 6.589 6,107 5,795 TOTAL 41,499 435,010 54,038 54,801 65,522 But it is not alone in numbers that the great increase of advertising is shown. The larger space required for advertisements during the year 1839 as compared with that occupied im 1888 is even more striking. ‘The average daily space filled by advertise ments in 1888 was 25.10 columns, or 7779 columns for the year; whereas for the year 1889 the daily average was 29.75 columns, or 9223 columns 1p the aggregate, being a total gain over the pre vious yearof1444columns! And this, it mast be remembered, consisted exclusively of the ordinary everyday business advertising, nothing in the way of tax sales, poll lists, election returns, etc., such as Occasionally swell the business of Political organs, being included im its patrom age. In conclusion, it is only necessary to say that, {m proportion to the extent and high character Of its circulation, Tux Stan's advertising rates take rank with the very lowest in the country, ‘and to add, finally, that every statement hercts ‘made can be abundantly verified THE CIR- CULATION OF THE PAPER 18 SWORN TO; ITS PRESS AND CIRCULATION ROOMS ARB OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, AND Its BOOKS MAY BE INSPECTED BY ANY ONE HAVING (a) INTEREST IN THEIR EXAMINATION iss, 076 e248 4,603 4,956 S78 41,606 3,915 SULY....3,063
