THE EVENING STAR: THE EVENING STAR. STAR. Ww A i HINGTON FRipayY......... ----Miny 2, 1590. CRosnY Ss. NOY Bs = THE EVENING STAR ‘ie the , fullest Local Cireulation of any Newspaper in the World, and as an Advertising Medium is worth ‘more than all the other papers published in Washington. >» It is very evident to the fair-minded man that s change from the present method is ne- cessary in two important classes of legislation, involving appropriations of public money. ‘The first of these is the regular annual river and harbor bill, the other the system of pass- ing public building billa The log-rolling pro- cess basso run up the expense of improving the rivers and harbors that the attention of the people is directed to some better plan for achieving the same or better results at smaller cost. The system in vogue is too much on the order of a distribution of largesses, The rules ef common sense and fair-dealing are fre- quently violated that Possum Creek may be made navigable for three miles from its mouth er Squedunk bar channel may admit of the passage at high tide of a fifty-ton sloop, known locally as a “corn cracker.” But the public despairs, so far as the present day is con- cerned, of any change by which the War De- partment, acting with or without a civil com- mission of engineers and practical business men, shall assume control of the water ways of the country, In the matter of the public buildings there is more to expect. Here the proposals are itemized and framed in distinct bills, and it is possible to defeat or modify one Proposition without affecting all. The execu- tive mind is apt to see the individual items of expense in a different light from that in which they are severally viewed by the members in- terested. The ccnstitutional provision for an executive opinion on the subject makes pos- sible a consideration of the merits and demerits of each measure unless the combination for the passage of all the public building bills equals—as it seldom does and seldom will—the pressure of party allegiance and the exigency of dependence upon the executive. The Presi- dent holds the key to the situation just now, and bis unmistakable attitude, whether right or wrong in the bill which was the immediate cause of his recent action, is likely to produce good results if the friends of the public build- ing measures are as wise in their day and gen- eration as they should be. Some general scheme of federal government building in the minor cities should be adopted, for the sake of uniformity, of justice, of economy and of effi- ciency. oo If showing how lamblike and constitutional a thing modern labor agitation is as compared with older efforts to secure rights or imagined rights be a success, then the May day demon- stration was the most triumphant of ail liberal movements of which there is any record. It is to the credit of the trades organizations that this w true. They showed wisdom in giving the eight-hour demonstration ths air of peace. Except in Paris and two places in the Austrian empire, where no lives were lost and the riots were tame compared with the memorable workingmen’s revolts of history, the day passed without outward event of importance. In England the parade wus a failure, although the reason given, that the great demonstration was reserved for the 4th instant, may explain su! ficiently. The labor delegates in Copenhagen ad Madrid reached the ear of the government 1m person and iaid their desires formally and ina dignified manner before the proper individuals, The free Swiss had no grievances, but the Bel- sian workmen and those of our own Chicago were out in greatest force, the numbers in Charleroi, Belgium, reaching the American city's limit of about thirty thousand. It is sig- nificant that the carpenters who were to initiate the eight-hour movement by a grand aational strike only struck here and there. This shows moderation perhaps on both sides, the employer in some instances conceding the de- mand for better pay and the union in other places withholding their demands on reasona- bie explanations. The true foundation of labor reform, embracing the recoguition,of the Golden Rule, is arbitration which shall take into view all the circumstances of each case and render exact jastice between man and man for the good of society. ——— The Mississippi Kiver Levee Improvement Convention in its session at Vicksburg stands by the levee system and unhesitatingly con- demns the outlet system. The fact was shown that out of 1,100 miles of levees twenty-three crevasses, or four and one-quarter miles of levee breaks, had occurred this year, whereas the extent of destruction to levees in previous floods had been far in excess, although the water rose higher in this flood. These figures, and it is assumed that they are reliable, seem to demonstrate that the levee system, if it is aot the best obtainable, is at least doing very well as a protection, and the planters ap- parently believe in letting well enough alone, and fear that their condition under a change of aystem may be worse. oe Whenever Superintendent Porter makes a estimate based on the number of people who aave applied to him for places in the census bureau he concludes that the population of the United States will not fall fer short of nine hundred and ninety-nine millions, nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand, nine hun- dred and ninety-nine, with a few counties to bear from. $2 —_____ The Emperor William, it is said, will build @ yacht and visit America in it in the course of ayearorso. He might come over in 1892 and let the party which handies the German vote et that time use him as a campaign document. <<< ‘We will no doubtsee at an early date whether the Supreme Court of the United States wiil decide that a member of Congress is absent when he is present in the House to deny in person that he is present. ———————— Three million New England dollars have gone into Chattanooga and adjacent property within the past ten days and if New England doesn't have avery close and tender feeling for the south it will be because human nature in New England bas undergone a radical change. ee Chicago will not be Chicago if Congress gets away this year and next without dropping sev- eral millions into the World's Fair slot.

W. BABY CARRIAGES. There's no denying it. When ‘Mrs. Some- body” tells “Mra Somebody Else” the remark- ably low price at which she obtained the Baby Carriage, which “Mrs. Somebody Else” can- not but admit (to herself) is one of the most elegant she ever saw, then “THE FAIR” is just ‘as sure to get another cusiomer as there is need for another Baby Carriage in the “Somebody Ise" household, We thought we stocked heavily on Baby Car- Fiages for this season, but we bit below the mark. The “Somebodies” came in by the score and the Baby Carriages went out in the same ratio, We saw our large stock getting beauti- fully smaller. ae Only one thing to do, and we did {t. The re- sult is more Baby Carriages, NEW Baby Car risges, and » GREATER VARIETY of Baby Carriages, You can't say that you came into “THE FAIR" and couldn't get what you wanted. No, indeed! Nor do we propose you shall say this, So we are able totell you that anew invoice of ths most stylish, desirable and economicsl—as well as the most Claborate and elegant— “wheels” have come in and are now on exbibi- tion. No matter what you want to pay we can hit your case to adot. For instance: AT 85.48. Genuine Rattan Body, colored ramie uphol- stery, parasol, steel springs, fine ash running gear, Really worth $7.

You can come in as che: as you can stay out; and you won't buy until you do ses, so what's the logical conclusion? oyag REFRIGERATORS. The fact is becoming pretty generally known that we are the sole agents in this city for the celebrated “Heinz” Refrigerators, and they are selling—never fear. The Lest of it is they sell upon their merits, A Refrigerator that has not intrinsic merit lsn't worth a pleayune. You can lift a cripple overa ditch, but no amount of bluster will lift an inferior article into perma- nent popularity. We won't handle inferior Re- frigerators, because we don’t wish and can't af- ford to be on the crutches of inflated claims and assumed merit allour lives, Upon the monu- ment of its reputation “THE FAIR” aims to ebisel: What we tell you tesa. Denial defed. And so far as Refrigerators are concerned the “Heinz” people are bebind us on this to any extent, Why? For example, look at thia You want a Refrigerator. Most everywhere you buy itas you would your dinner—take it and say nothing. Notso bere. We would like you to havea "Heinz," and ““Heinz” wants you to have it, also. 80, we ask you to buy one of these Refrigerators that suits you. We'll send it to your home, Give ita trial for four weeks —amonth. Use itas we tell you. Useit as if Fou intended keeping it forever. If it dovsn't keep all your edibles clean, sweet, fresh and without tasting one of another; if you don't admit that its ventilation is a benefit and an ad- vantage, and if it inu’tall we told you ‘twas, then get a postal card, write us so in good plain langusge, and we'll send for the Refrigerator, return you your money, and write yous letter of thanks for your kindness and trouble. Now, is it reasonable that the Heinz” people make Refrigerators for people to experiment ‘With? Or is it likely we sell goods to be returned in thirty days? Hardiy! It may not amount to much im some eyes, but we haven't had one come back yet,aud im our simple minds we call that a tolerably good record, ‘What do you think? au The “Heinz” is our leader, and we will close out at the following “way-down" figures; first, because they're not “Heing," and second, to make room for “Heinz.” COOPER & McKEE’S REFRIGERATORS. 98 ‘Colambia” Upright Hardwood A 82: Refi tor for $16.7 Mei Nias” Up wish tam rc paign? —— + The freer the country the freer the labor of thecountry and the less anxiety is felt by the government thereof.
