4 THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON: CROSBY s. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and Permanent circulation in Washington three times larger than that of any other paper im the city. As a loeal NEWS paper and Advertising Medium it has ne competi a The report of the Secretary of the Treasury fe nowhere more interesting or instructive than im that part where the popular misapprehen- sion that the circulation has been contracted | tly is corrected. The figures presented, @@ the contrary, show that the amount of money in circulation has been increased pet apita since the beginning of the new fiscal year from $23.41 to $24.33. This results from ‘the return of gold to the United States, the op- erations of the silver act of July 14, 1890, and ‘the treasury disbursements on account of the 434 per cent loan, pensions, tc. The coinage @f the mints during the last fixcal year was the largest in the republic's history, aggregating | 119,547,877 pieces, valued at $63,611,159.35.

Gran: should be adopted. The effort of New Yori to prevent | the consummation of the nation’s wish ought not for asingle moment to staud m the way. New York has had ail the opportunity that fairness or right could insist upon to make good its pledges and has not done so. The humiliat- ing spectacle of the remains of a great hero lying in an improper place, neglected by those who have assumed responsibility for their care, while a whole people stand impotent, but in- dignant, around the tomb, feciing themselves and the fame of their country conspicuously dishonored, should not last any longer. Bring the remains of the illustrious Grant without | more ado to their proper final abiding place | and let the republic erect to its honor and his fame an impressive testimonial. It would be a Grand thing if the veterans of the G. A. K. when they aseomble at Washington next Sep- tember could find at Arlington the American “out-of-doors Westminster Abbey, the recog- nized burial place of the nation’s great, and could there visit the graves and honor the Memory of their dead leaders. The decision of ‘the National Bar Association to make Washington its permanent beadquar- ters was.a wise decision, the only one it could have reached that would have fulfilled the measure of its duty and opportunity. Here are the foci of governmental, political and intel- Jectual action and influence in the nation, and although some persons may declaim against the imagined aggrandizement of power at the Yepublic’s capital the fact remains, if the point Of the declamation be admitted, that it is the People’s power that centers at the people's capital There can be no great danger result- ing from the voluntary action of the states themselves either to particular states or to the people of the aggregate state. Washington belongs to the people of the United States both by cession of territory and by the continuing Will of the people. The capital delights in en- tertaining citizens of the United States and learned bodies, whether state, national or cosmopolitan, who come to sojourn here for a time. dieerisereeecegessscscesersserescee ss ——_—__<+e—___ Of the food of interesting annual reports published at this season none gives a clearer insight into the workings of the department eoncerned or is in the nature of its subject and contents more apt to excite favorable comment than that of the Secretary of the Navy.
