A Partisan Debate in the Senate Yes- terday Afternoon. ‘There was an interesting civil service debate in the Senate yesterday afternoon, the matter under consideration being a House joint resolu- tion authorizing the appointment of thirty medical examiners in the Pension Office. Mr. Faulkner spoke against the provision taking these appointments from the control o the civil service. It was impossible for him, he said, to understand why such a provision was inserted in the joint resolution, The seven- teen medical examiners now in office had been appointed under the civil service system, and it was proposed now to appoint ‘thirteen others without reference to that system. There was no exigeucy demanding it, The eligible list today contained the names of more than thirty men who had passed their examination for medical examiners, and the appointments should be made from that list. He moved to strike out that provision of the joint resolution. Senators Hoar, Cockrell and Hale then in- duiged in a triangular debate. Mr. Cockrell went on to give a history of the law and to quote from the various republican platforms aftirming devotion to it. ’ Mr. Hale asked him whether the democratic platforms had not done the same thing. Mr. Cockre!l—Unquestionably; but lam not —_ the record of the democratic party today. Mr Hale—So I understand, Mr. Cockrell—I am trying to bring to the recollection and conscience of my republican of the democratic party. Mr. Hale-—I do not believe that the gentie- man will live long enough to discuss the record of the democratic party. Mz. Cockrell—We will discuss that in 1892. Mr. Hale—You will not discuss it here, I will guarantee. Mr. Cockrell—I will discuss ithere when it becomes an issue; but I do not intend that the issue in this case shall be turned off on a side tra Mr. Hoar moved to amend the amendment by inserting the yords “under regulations to be prescribed by the President of the United es.” Thiswould bring distinctly to the notice of the President these particular ap- pointments, and would reqnire from him anew exercise of discretion. It was said, on one side of the question, that the thirty medical exam- ers were tobe appointed only for a brief service—for an emergency, and that that was the reason why the general civil service rules should not apply. He was not in the least af- fected, much ae convinced, by the suggestion. It was perfectly clear to him that the record of no party, of no President, and he.suspected, of no Senator or Representative, would be found to be absolutely in accordance with the strict letter of their declarations in regard to civil service reform, Mr. Plumb resented the latter statement and said that he had no doubt that Mr. Hoar had done his fair share in securing the removal of democratic officials, Mr. Hoar denied that (so far as he remem- bered) he had ever advised the removal of but one democratic official in his life, and that removal he had advised, not on_ political grounds, The Senator from Kansas (he added) Was talking of a matter of which he was as ig- norant as the babe that never was born and that never would be born. [Laughter on the democratic side, } At the close of the discussion, Mr. Hoar, at Mr, Faulkner's suggestion, modified his amend- ment so as to make it read that “the examina- | tion for appointment of these medical exam- iners shail be under regulations the President of the United States,” The amend- ment was agreed to—yeas 38, nays 8—the nega- tives being Daniel, Davis, Dixon, Moody, Plumb, Sawyer, Stewart and Teller, Without action on the bill the Senate ad- journed.

In August, 1865, Dr. Alexander White was murdered in Union county, S$. Q White was to have testified against Samuel Jeffries, on a trial for murder, Jeffries was afterward ac- quitted.

In point of fact, it may be truthfally said that it is without equal in this respect any where in the world, These averments are borue 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 condensed from the sworn tabular statements showing the average daily circulation of the paper during the year 1889, published in Tae Sram on the 18th of January, 1590, Briefly stated, the points upon which the above claim is based are these: That— 1. The Star has three times the circu- Jation of any other paper in Washing- ton! 2 The Star's circulation in Washing- ton is double that of all the ether daily Papers published in the city added to- gether!! 3. Whe Star has a larger and fuller circulation in the city where printed, im proportion to reading and purchas: ing population, than any other news= Paper in the world!!! 4. The Star has the largest regular and permanent bome circulation of Any two-cent afternoon paper im the United States 1!!! In support of these claims and to show the constantly increasing circulation of the papery attention is invited to the figures following: DAILY CIRCULATION IN 1885-S6-87-88-82.

Of this number, 21,142 were delivered daily by regular carriers at the homes of permanent sub- seribers. The 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 reguiarly 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 Tue 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 daily journal now published can furnish a parallel. This is no idle boast on the part of the paper. It ic 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 RETUENS FROM THE MONEY PAID OUT FOR ADVERTISING, This is proven by the growth of Tux Sran’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 claima and pretentiouscompetition. The figures following tell the story on this point: NUMBER OF NEW ADVERTISEMANTS ¢KINTED & 1885-86-87 88-80, 18S5. 1886.
