THE EV WASHINGTON. THE EVENING STAR bas a requiar and ermanent circalation in Washington three times larger than that of any other paper in the city. As a local NEWS paper aud Ad- vertising Medium it has no competitor. a The proviso included by the House in the iver and harbor bill, affecting the Potomac flats, was a moxt unreasonable one. The stipu- lation that no part of the €200,000 appropriated shall be expended until the suite now pending. involving tit hall be decided in favor of the government, inserts a condition for which there is no logi tification. It is desirable t the Potomac flats litigation shall be hastened toa decision as pr yas i# consistent with sroper preparation ase by the govern- ment, and some unobjectionable provision could doubtless be devised which would have thix effect. But the river front improvement ought not to be made dependent upon the result of this litigation, for it is stated authoritatively that a dec wiverse to the government will mean only that the government shall pay dam- ages to the claimants, representing the value of their land at «date prior to the beginning of the improvement, when the lots were water lots and confessedly almost worthless, Senator Ransom, referring to an act passed by Con- gress which made provision for protecting the government's interest in the matter of this leg- islation, said in the Senate: “The bill after pro- viding that a suit shall be brought to settle this question against all parties claiming adversely to the United States, and after providing fully to have all these titles settled and settled promptly, contained this important provision: ‘That if any of these parties had any claim what- ever which could beestablished in court the same court which determined their claim should settle the amount of damages to which they were entitled, and these damages were to be es- timated as of the time when this improvement conmnenced and not afterward. So then, what- ever may happen, whatever may come to pass, the United States would only have to pay what would be assessed as damages for real estate that every- body knew was absolutely worthless before this improvement was made. It is not improper, furthermore, for me to say that it has been the opinion of the juticiary committee, it has been the opinion of the Department of Justice, it has been the opinion of the commissioner of public Jands, and it bas been the opinion and judgment of every legal mind that bas looked into this question, that these adverse pretentions to the rights of the United States were absolutely without foundation.” —— +02 —__ ‘The sudden death this morning of Senator John S. Barbour of Virginia gives a shock to his friends in Congress and elsewhere. Al- though not a robust man, he was always active in the discharge of his duties and was engaged up to the last moment of his attendance on the Senate yesterday in matters of public interest to the District. Once chairman of the District committee in the House and now a member of the Senate District committee, he took a deep interest in local affairs. To the democratic party in Virginia Mr. Barbour, like so many thers of his family, was both leader and men- tor. A prudent and far-seeing rather than a brilliant man, he rendered valuable service for any years in restraining the hotspurs and in giving his people sensible advice. The Barbours are a historical family, the late Senator's father. Jobn S. Barbour, senior, his nd Secretary James Barbour, and ex-Speaker and Instice Philip Pendleton Barbour of the United States Supreme Conrt, as well as later Members, being well known in the history of the republic and the state. Logical debaters in Congress, able members of the cabinet or min- isters at foreign courts, governors of the state, Wherever pinced, they stand with the foremost en of their respective generations, —_e+___ The pnblie more highly approve the Balti- more and Ohio's plan of abolishing its grade- €rossings by the erection of an arched masonry Yiwluet of the Berlin type than the Pennsyi- ‘vania's plan of sinking and bridging its tracks to accomplish the same purpose. But the main thing is to get rid of the grade-crossings, and as the Pennsylvania indicates its intention of depressing ite tracks so far that the most im- Portant streets can pass over them without ma- terial change of grade, the public benefit from the change will be vast, and the city whose wel- fare is thus promoted will not pick flaws in the method of improvement, if the Pennsylvania itself is willing that its terminals shall be in this Respect inferior to those of its competitor. — One of the novel and important featares of the Washington post office as installed in the new temporary quarters is a burean of in- formation, such as is found in all large, well- Tegulated railway offices. This is an invaluable addition to the accommodations provided for the public. Any person heretofore desiring to de informed as to any matter connected with the office has been referred to some particular oficial, and sometimes has had to consult more than one to obtain the desired irtelligence. By the present arrangement this information is procured at one place. It is a saving of time and a means of getting at things more defi- nitely and fully. see They have declared for free a Cleveland delegation to Ity in this case ia not to decide what the aftirmative is tha the two negatives declare, for it is patent that they ordinate the issue to the man who is against on it, but to find in public opinioi standing ground for themselves. A party that desires the nomination of an anti-fre eundidate cannot be very much about free coinage as an absorbing issue, — ee Representative Hoar's resolution to prevent the exercise of favoritixm in the government printing office is manifestly intended in the in- terests of justice. It may. however, be a source Of satinfaction to those who have been diamined to feel that their safety is no longer dependent on structure that is dangerous. The salaries ‘that they lose represent a good deal to pay for life insurance. but if the disaster to the build- ing, which may happen at any time, should foun occur they may have reason to bless their seeming misfortune. soe Senator Gorman does not believe that there fe economy in parsimony. As the country Brows. he thinks, its expenditures reasonably grow. The Gorman idea is different from the Holman idea. Which ix the democratic idea, Finee both are democratic leaders clothed with responsibility as with a garment? 202 — People who are disposed to habitually ridi- eule the more elaborate efforts of medical science will be interested in the opinion of the Berlin physician who declares that a simple eating is the best means of treating hysteria, ‘There is decided danger of becoming altogether two practical, +e. ‘The question of whether or not Mr. Cleveland called Mr. Dana a “senile old man” is one of much importance. Let it be decided promptly whether people are to be permitted to add tautology te insult. ———++--——__ While this country is looking for the manner im which Mr. Biaine's political mantle is to drop, England ia giving marked attention to Ireland's Ulster. —————+=+—____ ‘The effortto give Secretary Blaine’s indul- Bruce in circus dainties campaign sigmificance ‘must unqualifiedly rank a» pea-nut politics, -.

The translation is material, too, and brings wants of many sorts. The dreamy haze of a seashore in August or the inspiration of mountain climbing in July may not be en- Joyed without preparation. The old trunk must be replaced by a new one and “living in a trunk” demands wisdom in the choice of a trunk tolivein. Many a contrivance, handy and compact, must be had to meet wants that the absence of home comforts will make in- tense and annoying if not provided for. A little forethought now will save discomfort then. Even if you are not a tourist you'll find ite difficult matter to wet along without a trunk. ‘It serves as chiffonier and wardrobe and often a8.a “‘safe deposit” for trinkets to be kept from pryimgeyes. A large percentage of the people of Washington are tourists from a local stand- point—moving from place to place many times during the year. To such persons a trank ‘means much and is simply indispensable. Let us show you our stock. You'll find ita comprebensive one, covering any trunk want you can possibly have.
