THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON: May 2, 1891. « = a THE EVENING STAR has the fullewt Lecal Circulation of any Newspaper In the World, aud as am Advertising Mediam ts worth more than all the ether papers published in Washington. ‘The drift of public sentiment tn the country has been from the beginning toward popular elections. Leaving out of view state concerns, and confining attention entirely to the presi- dential and congressional fields, it is seen that changes have been steadily in the direction in- dicated. The alterations of the Constitution, induced by the deadlock of 1801, by whieh the President and the Vico President were to be voted for separately was 2 move on the line of & more popular mode of election, but the action of the political parties in holding the clectors as morally pledged to cast the vote of their respective states in accordance with party fecl- ing there, and not as their individual wills might determine, has accomplished very much more. ‘fhe broadening of the franchise by the later constitutional amend- | ents bas almost created a political revolution in our system. Many propositions have been made tosimplify and popntarize the election of President and Vice President, one of the most important of which has long received favor among progressive and thoughtfui men inal parties. ‘The theory of an absolute rep- resentation of the aggregate people considered apart from state lines has recently had some support. But the more conservative theory of change is a mode for ascertaining the public will by taking the suffrage of the congressional districts and retaining so muchof the idea of state representation in the result as is em- braced in adding certain electors at large. ‘The legielature of Michigan has evidently been aclose student of Senator Morton's speeches, for it isabout to enacta law that will inevit- ably divide the vote of the state in presidential elections pretiv much on the plan advocated by him. If this movement extends it cannot be many years before all the states will choose a presidentio! ticket practically by congres- sional iis:ricts. One feature of the proposed Michigan law, «0 far os ite provisions are un- derstood. seoms to Le objectionable. The electors at lirge are apportioned between the castand west sections of thestate. Mr. Morton's idea was and the idea of many others still is to have these state electors chosen on general ticket by the whol body of suffragans, which ensures a fairer deal since it prevents partisan gerrymandering at least av to that class of electors. The question is of special interest now becanse of the nearly equal division of parties in the republic. It is practically im- possible to secure changes of this deserip- tion on their merits, disconnected from part- isan considerations of the immediate effects of the application of a new electoral system upon party prospects in the state or states in which achange is proposed. ‘The effect of the change in Michigan alone is obviously detrimental to the republicans, and they naturally oppose and | denounce the proposition, which they would probably support upon its merits if the new bystem were to be applied to all the states. os And now Mr. Cranford, the contractor for street repairs, says that be is not responsible for the delay in repairs. He throws the re- sponsibility on the engincer department and states that the reason be has not increased the number of repairing gangs is because the de- partment could not furnish the additional in- epectors. He says further that some time ago he offered to organize a “flying” force of re- pairers, which could attend immediately to faulty places on any of the principal thorough- fares, but that the offer has not been aceepted. It is evident that all the parties to this con- troversy, the engineer department and the con- tractors, alike, are secking to evade the respon- sibility for the faulty coudition of the pave- ments, and to dump it on the sboulders of somebody else. But for the present the onus seems io rest upon the engineer officials. — ee ‘The May Day demonstration was widespread although not universal, and except in Kome Florence and some of the provincial cities of France there was no serious outbreak. Con- trary to expectation Pari . mite explosion which did no particular harm, | was quiet. Usually the French capital ean be | retied upon on such occasions to make a greater variety and @ greater volume of disturbance than any other city of the old world. As was foreseen the labor strike in America was only partial in extent and indefinite in results. The anthracite coal miners of Pennsylvania did not strike. The movement was so well handled generally as to produce few collisions and es- tablish in the public mind a feeling that it is for the most part controlled by the wisest men connected with it - —— + Russian railway building in the trans- Caspian region seems to require a breach or what the Turks regard as a breach of treaty, for they are stopping the Czar's ships in the Bosphorus and the autocrat of all the Russias is getting his back up. It is « question appar- ently of whether wen and materials for what is virtnally military railway sail under the mer- cantile or the military dag. Turkey would ex- clade them under the latter interpretation, while Russin insists that they come properly under commercial intercourse. ee With assurances of our continued and distin- guished consideration as a nation English navul authorities are ,informed that they do well to take interest in the growing navy of the trated pretty generally yester- at Lome and abroad, and it was orderly jad reputable in all its proceedings, except in instances, where anarchists who do the labor b 6-6 t Washington bad last month ever recorded im its history, is to the grip, which is now letting loose what under the influence of the genial nahine. + The abolition of the special tobaceo tax, went into effect yesterday, will carse a early lowe to the government of 1,600,000, d the men who smuke and chew will pay just tame for their weed. -_—--_ +e Secretary Poster owee a great deal to the able financial editors of the country.

Pure, nentral Soaps, free from impure fats, ‘excess of alkali and irritating adulterations. ‘Their use brine the skin to that desirable condition observed only when a pure Soap is used. ‘Were it practicable for the consumer to give them a scientific chemtcal test they would be found to answer every requirement of the ex- pert and conscientious manufacturer, but their physical characteristics and the effect upon the ‘skin 2s they are used for the toilet prove their excellence. While they accomplish the necessary cleans- ing they also leave the skin soft and smooth. They are excellent Tooth Soaps and free from offensive alkaline taste. In the care of infants the use of these Soaps is recommended on account of their asolute purity, Gentlemen find them superior shaving soaps, yielding @ rich lather and avoiding the smart- ing sensation produced by injurious soap. For cleaning the hair and scalp they produce ‘& shampoo that is safer and better than the pow- erful alkaline lotions so much in use, which de- stroy the life of the har. If it is worth while to use a good soap for any Purpose it is worth while to use it for the bath. ‘897A trial will certainly result in their favor to the exclusion of cheap bath soaps. —Medium size, 10c. acake. @1.a dozen.— Large size, 120. a (First floor, 11th st. building.)
