Ros! o Editor. THE EVENING STAR has the fullest Lecal Circulation of any Newspaper in the World, and as an Advertising Medium is worth more than all the other papers published in Washington. the debate in the House yesterday on the Zoological Park item Mr. Dockery said: “You propose, in the matter of the Zoological Park. that the people who urged its establishment and are responsible for it, shall at least pay one-half of the expense.” Mr. Clements spoke “the people of this District who asked for and were anxiously desiring to have the Zoological Park.” Probably neither Mr. Dockery uor Mr. Clements intended to be un- fair in his treatment of the question under dis- cussion. But in effect their suggestions on this subject are gravely unjust. As often as these misleading statements concerning the atti- tude of the District toward the Zoo proposition are made, just often ought they to be corrected. The District denies point-blank that it anxiously desired and worked for «local zoo. It afirme that the es- due to the yy and Sen- an exten- ‘8 expense of the | zoological collection already owned by the government, the avowed object being the scientific purpose of preserving the characteristic types of American animals from extinction. The popular movement for Rock Creek park ought not to be confused with the Smithsonian Institction's project. Nor should the latter, still left under the Smithsonian's control, be converted by Congress from the proposed scientific adjunet of the institution into a nominal loea! z00 of the ordinary kind, to satisfy an imagi nary craving of the reople of Washington f menagerie entertainment, and to be paid for as an ordinary municipal under- | taking. It is tho fashion am some | members of Congress to say that the District asks for and gets these things for its benefit and then does not want to pay for them. Such ‘@ charge bas no application in the matter of the zoo. Congress is not committed to any partic- ular use of the acres of land purchased on Rock creek. The purposes for which it is now proposed to appropriate are not those of Mr. Hornaday, who secured the passage of the original legislation. In addition to changes in the zoological plans has been noted to use the ground for other scientific, expecially astronomical purposes. The erection of an astro-physical observatory has been proposed. The ani- mals for a zoo have not yet been purchased nor have the grounds been arranged and the buildings erected to adapt the park to zoo pur- poses. Washington has not secured the zoo and then fought against pay 1g for it. Under the proposition now before it Congress is to determine whether the establishment and maintenance of a Zoo are wise municipal undertakings of the Distr x: of Columbia. It makes no difference what view members may held as to the proper 11 isi lations of Dis- trict and nation. The Di 71 to its legi ~ lature: “I cann>: afferd to pay . = $50,009 this year for an‘3:, 1lanimalho.s+, .n1 the item asa municip:!ch rg» isa gross extrava- gance. If the animals cannot be bought ex- cept at my expense do not buy them!” Those members who do not favor the supply of means to the Smithsonian Institution from the na- tional purse to enlarge its scientific col- lection of living animals ought to en- deavor to strike out” altogether the items for the maintenance of a Zoo. The land is a good purchase and will not spoil. It can be used hereafter in connection with Rock Creek park, or as the site of astro-physical and other observatories, or as the site of a Presi- dent's House, or as the location of a local Zoo when the District finances are in con- dition to permit it to indulge in this luxury, and the future use to which it is put can deter- mine how it is to be paid for. To avoid a defi- ciency in meeting necessary current expendi- tures no present expense in connection with a Zoo must be exacted from the District. If this imposition ean be avoided the chances are that the payment of the water main charge in installments will be permitted, and no defi- ciency will oceur. o-oo __ The payers of the direct tax, levied for the support of the war for the Union, will be paid back probably as soon as the State legislatures can give receipts in full, and this delay will prevent the collapse of s much-depleted treasury. President Cleveland vetoed a simi- lar measure on the ground that there was no constitutional sanction for distributing to states the proceeds of present taxation in re- payment of taxes formerly levied, collected and expended. It ts mid that President Harri- son will approve the presen: measure if it comes out of conference before the end of the session. The principle of a refund of taxes is a | new one, but the friends of the bill insist strenuously upon its justice and constitution- ality. The amount to be refunded is nearly sixteen million dollars. The District will get nearly fifty thousand dollars in the division, almost enough to pay for one year's mainte- nance of the Smithsonian Institution Zoo and as ee The terrible experience of the four rescued miners at Jeanessille, Pennsylvania, furnishes widitional testimony to that of rescued travel- ersand voyagers to the marvelous endur ..¢ of human beings under pa. s of hunge- = thirst and physical suffering from cold or other causes. These men lived, although cooped up in a narrow space, for nineteen days with only four bits of bread and a very little water. 2 “Duncan of Pumpkin” isa member of the Kansas legislatare and he has .deared himself | to the souls of the women of this broad land of | freedom by this noble and fearless utterance ‘on the floor of the howe: “Lams dude and I part my hair in the middle. I favor taking women from the ranks of the idiots and imbe- ciles and allowing them to occupy the same rank as the gentlemen from Africa.” - Ss j The mortality in the Sist Congress has been | exweeptionally large. The thirteenth member of the Congress died las: night. In the death | of Mr. Wilson Maryland and the country love | an able and upright Senator and the District | @f Columbia one of its real friends. 1 ‘This winter's remarkable legislative hotness culminates in the outbreak of the republican opposition to Senator Chandler in New Hamp- shire. Mr. Pillsbury’s resolutions and Mr. | Angell’s speech thereon are two of a kind that ought not to be possible in a deliberative body. ‘The snarl in Connecticnt has got into such a tangle that the democratic state senate refuses to receive a message from the held-over gov- ‘ernor and the demoeratie governor of New York declines te honor bis requivition for crim- inala, ——_—-+2—__ Onr Koch lymph manufacturers in this eoua- try have been beard from and a duty of 26 per cent is put on it, What we want is our own Keech lymph for home consumption and no foreigners need apply. ——_++2____. ‘The Woman's National Council held an execu- tive session yesterday.

Since tt #eems evident the materials and trimmings cost more than $1.(is how can the garments be sold at $1.68? That's the question that has puzzled mer- chants and public aitke. Itcan be seen that no bet- ter musiins and cambrics could be used, while the cost of such laces and ewbrotderies for trimming must be proportionately hich. Equally evident is it that the style, finish and fit is typically French. The fact re- ‘mains that $1.08 is the Palais Royal regular price and that @1.35 is the special price for three days. 81.65 GOWNS FOR $1.35.—Here's one with the French surplice neck, trimmed with French embroid- ery or hand made torchon lace—take your choice.
