THE EVENING STAR has the fullest Local Cirenlation of any Newspaper in the World, and as an Adverjising Medium is worth more than all the other papers published in eee ee eee Sine ee Port Tobacco Times explains the new registration law of Maryland for Tue Srau's benefit According to this explanation the Purpose of the statute was mercly to disfran- chive “hundreds of Washington negroes who had no vestige of home or other interest in Maryland,” annually imported by the repub- licans, “It was to remedy this great mischief that the statute ia question was passed and it is to be construed in that light.” “Aslong as a man has any kindof a home or habitation here or leaves his family here, be docs not come within the scope of the law.” The rule of statutory construction adopted by the Times is exceedingly simple. Ask the framers of the law what they had in their minds, and that is the no matter what the words of the statute may be! Unfortunately the conrts have not found themselves able to adopt the Port Tobacco rule in all its simplicity. It is only when the words of the law are not clear, that the courts have inquired concerning the intention of its framers. If the purpose of the law as the Times asserts, its framers have bungled the job of constructing it. It is much toosweeping in its terms to stop short with the accomplishment of the alleged purpose. Those Marylanders temporarily sojourning in Wash- ington who have been disfranchised by the registers, notwithstanding the fact that they are not negroes, and have property or families in Maryland, and in many cases aro not repub- licans, will derive all the consolation they can from the confident assurance by way of Port Tobacco that the thing was not intended and can’t be done, The words of the Jaw are plain, and if they are rigidly adhered to, as in the cases of some of the Washington sojourners, then Senator Gorman and the Marylanders who take up their residences with their families at the seashore during the summer must also be distranchised. The law cannot blow hot and cold with the same breath. a Little is to be added to what Tue Stan and other papers have already said of Justice Miller, who died last night’ The dead jurist was one of the ablest men who have occupied a seat on the Supreme Bench. He has been compared with Marshall in the strongth of his native intelligence and his knowledge of ele- mentary principles. It is certain that he im- pressed himself upon the public as no other federal judge of our time has done as an ex- pounder of our constitutional system as it has been defined by the course of events. Broad in his foundations he has been catholic in his judgments and national in a historical sense in his sympathies. Sympathy with today as dis- tinguished from the too-exclusive construction of yesterday has characterized the federal judiciary during the greater part of its exist- ence. It is the leading feature in the noble career that has just closed. It will not be casy for the President to fill the vacancy created by the death of the lamented Associate Justice, — + History repeats itself. Modern invention has not caused powder mills to cease to be danger- ous. Fatal carelessuess is always with us. ‘These trite reflections are suggested by the discovery of the following announcement of an earlier Dupont works explosion in the Christian Visitant of Albany, dated June, 1815: “REMARKABLE PROVIDENTIAL VISITATIONS, Witutnetox, Det, June 10th (1815). On Thursday morning last the pounding mill belonging to Mr. Dupont’s Powder Works in the vicinity.of this town was blown up. Thi unfortunate occurrence happened at the mo- ment when the workmen were engaged in re- moving the powder made the day before, six of whom were instantly killed on the spot and three wounded. One of the latter has since died. The loss of property to the proprietors was trifling. But who can speak the bitter anguish of the widow and the orphan, who by this dispensation of Providence are left to mourn their irreparable loss.” —_— ——- With Mr. McKinley himself, Secretary Blaine, Speaker Keed, Gen. Alger, Representative Bur- rows and others on the republican side, and Gov. Hill, of New York, Senator Carlisle, Gen. Sickles and perhaps other democrats support- ing Mr. McKinley's opponent, tne contest in the sixteenth Ohio district bids fair to become national before it closes, eo ee In the death of Prof. Thorold Rogers at Ox- ford one of the ablest of all writers of the a tory of political economy passes awa i Keokuk, Iowa, is peculiarly represented in recent mortuary lists. Ex-Secretary of War MeCreary who died recently was from Keokuk, and ex-Secretary of War Belknap and Justice Miller were also Keokuk men. ——- The Paris Times says that the German pro- tests against the McKinley bill are premature. While the French protests are only slightly previous, eh? poe eee One English manufacturer speaking of the tariff says the English will make it so warm for the Americans that it will take $10 of their money to go as far as $2 of English money. That's all right. We can make $10 in this coun- try im half the time it takes to make #2 in England. $$$ > Major MoKinley opened the republican cam- paign in Michigan yesterday.

On the list of members of the new organization are already s large number of Prominent business men. At the head of the union is Mr. J. B. Brown, the well-known feed dealer. The legal end of the association will be watched by Mr. Samuel Maddox, Business men in Washington say ‘that the lonses here each year through bad debts amount to over $300,000, and claim that any associa- tion which minimizes this amount will cheapen goods, as merchants can afford to sell cheaper if they are as- sured of payment.

(Firat read paragreph in next columm headed **: Black List of Debtors.") ‘The inference drawn from the article in the next col- umn is that it ie necessary for the merchants who credit to demand higher prices than if they did not. Since the Palais Royal stands alone in doing acash Dusiness it ts equally logical to conclude it can afford smaller profite, and therefore lower prices than else- where. The credit merchants might possibly compete ‘were they to charge one price to their patrons who re- ceive credit and another to the prompt-peying cue tomer, but this ts not customary, and so the latter bas to be charged for the losses occasioned by the former. Thus you will find Palais Royal prices average 10 per cent less than prevailing quotations, But thisis not the limit of the possibilities of our cash business. With the co-operation of those who pay Promptly it is possible to pass merchandise from the makers at an infinitesimal addition to the cost of pro- duction. Thisis being tilustrated today. Our stocks are thrice their normal size, owing to the enormous purchases made just prior to the passing of the tariff Dill. By trebling our usual sales we can afford one-third Jess than our usual profited still the net profit will be ‘as large as formerly.
