4 THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON: Cireulation of any Newspaper in the World, and as an Advertising Medium is worth more than ali the other papers Washington. biished in Above ali the chaff of Chicago's late rivals in comments upon ber appareut and real ditticul- thes in starting and conducting the world’s Co- lambian exposition is the voice of the good sense of the republic, in tones tuat cannot be qwistaken and in « spirit of American patriotism that cannot be repressed. Granted that m takes have been made-—what city could have avoided the making of mistakes? Granted that Chicago in her se!f-confide: mated the responsibiity she was assuming— what live American city is free from a clirrupy Lelief in ite own capacity to do just « little more than any other municipality on the face of the earth could do? The joking at Chicago's expense must not be misunderstood. Every one understands that the exposition to be held in that city is a national effuir; that Chicago's wonderful energy is backed by the support of the whole republic, and that no difficulties can arise of sufficient strength to withstand the in- Sivences which push ¢ — E —— While it is reasonable to conciude that for political reasons atrocities in Macedonia and Asia Minor have been exaggerated. still enough remains after due allowances have been made to show that the cruel and fanatical Moslem now again at his old policy of hanging his Christian subjects. That it is a policy is quite clear, just as it is equally clear that it isan insanely injurious policy. A correspondent of the London Duily News tells of hundreds of wretched Macedonians confined, fifteen or twenty in a single cell of two and a half yards square, unventilated, ill-lighted, or—when spe- cial severity is dealt out—in underground dungeons, with insufficient coarse bread and unwholesome water—chained, naked, to the filtby floor, and further punished by having numbers of auts turned loose upop them. The Armenian flies for safety to Russia's arms, and thirsts to throw himself upon the oppressor of his people. Meantime young William, the new arbiter of the old world, hurries in this sum- mer weather from the land of the midnight sun to the Belgic border of Frauce, and every- ‘where there is streugthening of old and ar- rangement of new ties. The old world is feverous from fresh and from ancient disor- ders, and the thousand years of peace ond of ‘prosperity are as remote, or at least as appar- ently remote, as ever in the life of man. $$$ The lives of women who are compelled to cross surface tra t grade-crossings are as much endangered and are as precious as those of the men. The apprehensions which torture families residing in a section gridironed by surface tracks are felt even more keenly by the women than by the men. Women in all sections of the city are entitled to be heard upon questions of humanity aud questions touching the security of human life. Finally women are as much citizens and voters of the ‘District as men and have an equal right with wded in the conduct of local affairs. Undoubtedly women should be per- mitted to vote against the murderous grade- crossings by signing the printed petition, and they have that privilege. —— Louisville. Ky., generally and the Courier- Journal in particular are wildly agitated over Superintendent Porter’s rough figures giving the town only 155,756 people, and the Courr- Journai has published a number of interviews in which prominent citizens of reliable stand- ing make a number of careful g of which do the figures fall below 173 The Farmers’ Alliance in Kansas is not yet strong enough to coutrol the weather bureau and secure rain to save the corn crop, which is now being slowly scorched by the sun. — + << nessee, is planning a monument to Davy Crockett, who began his) Yemarkable career at Lawrenceburg of the peace and ended it in glory at the Alamo, Texas. He was a famous backwoods- ™an, @ unique border soldier and a politician of a peculiar and striking type. It was he who said, “Be sure you are right and then go ahead. t. He deserves it, unis bonsai Elsewhere in Tuz Sram is printed a vigorous communication concerning the unhealthful and dangerous condition of the Government Priut- ing Office bnilding. Congress should heed the appeals ant wirnings which it receives in respect to this structure. The building is a menace to health and life and a disgrace to the government. The public is consolingly assured that the items of the tariff vill, over which there is to be protracted debate. have not yet been reached, ‘There are items of other measures that have not been reached which will excite prolonged debate. This is August, too, and not April or May. pe es A South Carolina historian, now dead, said! that the fusion of nationalitics in that state was not complete until u late period, long after set- tlement and just anterior to the revolutionary war.

The papers contain daily counsel of the best prudence, and this house is among the rest in “saving suggestions." But it takes much and frequent argument to influence some minds, and often the most forcible kind of logic, Yet sometimes & wentle hint will kindle productive reflection, and that is the hint we here aim to impart, Worth a thoucht? Yes, it is worth s long, large thought that whether you are buying strictly seasou- able goods, such as Baby Carriages, Refrigerators, Water Coolers, Bed Canopies, Lace Curtains, Gauze Hangings, &c., or whether you would be induced to investin Furniture, Carpets, Rugs, Tapestries, Por- teres, and so forth and so on, provided there were ample considerations of prices. We wish to stamp in- delibly upon your mind the fact that asample asis our spacious store we are equally ready to extend to the wise and far-seeing investor of cash considerations of price Just as ample and abundant.
