z THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. WEDNESDAY. -June 1, 1892. CROSBY 8. NOYES. Editor. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation in Washington three times larger than that of any other paper in thecity. As a local NEWS paper and Ad- vertising Mediam it bas no competitor. ———SSSSS—SSSSSS The Syracuse convention favors Cleveland and opposes free coinage. It has the courage of ite opinions, for it enforces them by a strong delegation. The more prudent course of an advisory committee taking a protest in its hands to Chicago was not adopted and was barely even suggested during the proceedings. ‘The result is anxiously watched by both parties, especially the thick-and-thin supporters of Mr. Cleveland. The weakest part of the kicking convention's action was, possibly, its setting up ® full state organization, including electors for President and Vice President. But the contest- ants did not choose a new set of electors. They merely adopted the list of the Saratoga or Hill democratic convention. This was as much as tonsy, “When we indorse them the electors of the snap body are really nominated”—a playful aasumption of power which the contesting con- vention felt to be all that was practicable under the circumstances. ‘This contempt of regularity which they have developed since they supported, a few months ago, the candidates of the regular organization is apparently gloged over by an attempt to con- stitute themselves, thus irregularly, the regular party of the state. But the effort must fail. ‘The national convention cannot afford, whether ‘Mr. Cleveland bas two-thirds or only a majority of the delegates, to set aside the precedents and admit Messrs. Grace, Fairchild and their asso- ¢intes to seats on the floor—or even to treat with them—except as it would treat with any other body of democrats representing a reapect- able number of constituents. Officially, there- fore, these gentlemen are what the lawyers call in the translated phrase of the old law Latin, “nobody's sons.” oe If Mr. Holman can by a scratch of his pen stop payments from the treasury required by law the logical inference is that he is responsible for all such payments as are actually made. Since, having the power to stop them, he has not interfered, he is reasonably presumed to assent to them. Thus Mr. Holman shares with the re- publican party the alleged odium which attaches to the alieged extravugances of the Billion Dollar Congress. For by appealing to the inexhaustible courtesy of Secretary Foster, who is nothing if not courteous, he could have checked every one of these enormous appro- priations. Having failed to do so the financial leader of the “Nickel Congress” takes upon his shoulders the sins of commission of the “Billion De ess,” and effectually de- stroys democratic criticism of the financial policy of the latter body. It would perhaps be better democratic policy to withdraw Mr. Hol- man from the posi etary of the Treasury with Mr. Fostcr, in view of the re- sponsibilities and the emlarrassments in eriti- cism of the financial operations of the adminis- tration, which Position involves. —-—+-2-2—_____ Senator Sherman's great speech in the Sen- ate is commanding attention for two reasons, | if no more. The Senator is the highest finan- | cial authority among American statesmen, and | the position of affairs requires that conservative and not radical views of policy should be enter- tained. Senator Sherman well doubts whether | the action of this republic in favor of free coin- | age would raise the intrinsic value of silver throughout the world. And if it does not it will not avail to restore silver to its former Place as the equal of gold. Senator Sherman | also well contends that free coinage is not a partisan issue. As matters stand both parties are divided, although not quite equally, on the question. That the Senator's speech will have | some influence in promoting conservative action in the party conventions to be held this month cannot be doubted. ——— It would be a pity, based rather, however, on Holland's past than her present.if the firtatious | events taking place between Germany and the Netherlands should prefigure the effacement of the nation of William and Maurice. The Hol- land of the 16th and 17th centuries can never be | effaced from history. The proud names of | Erasmus, Grotius and Spinoza, of the house of | Orange, of DeRuyter and Van Tromp and Bar- neveldt will live as long as the other grand names in European annals. ——_+es—___ Mr. Holman’s occupancy of that | 5 | $9.50 Imported Silk Waists, all stylea..... & Taz & Pas Ror , = “Orgmne- = Posrrrvarx & Temoxares = Sarvapay.

And the worst feature of the situation is that those who would gladly uphold the republic's financial honor cannot under the circumstances say a word in its defense. ee Kentucky is in danger of losing the reputa- tion for obliging courtesy which it has sus- tained.

The great topic of interest in Washington is real estate. It is the foundation of all values and has made fortunes for those who had the forsight to take aa- vantage of the opportunies it offered. The proverb, “History repeats itself,” has been proved so com- pletely that it is accepted as atruism. With reference to this city it has a peculiar and powerful application. Values have advanced steadily and rapidly. Their Progress has been without halt or recession, and there isonly a suggestion of what the future will bring forth. An idea of the tremendous advance in values that the last twenty years have seen may be formed by con- sidering the fact that the property at the marthwost SEAEARL apenas $2.00 Groves Av $1.37. ‘Tomorrow (Thursday), June 2, we shall sell our Ladies’ French 4-button Dressed Kid Gloves, with Black welts and large pearl buttons.

The Lansburgh and Mer- rick buildings show increases in the same period of time from 2.50 and $3to $12.50and @13 per foot respectively. Instances like these might be multi- plied at almost indefinite length. At the present day $20. foot cannot touch property in the vicinity re- ferred to, and that locality simply furnishes an ex- ample of the enormous strides that values in Wash- ington and the Districtof Columbia are making. The advances in other parts of the city have been corres- Pondingly great, and in every instance prices have been not only firm but progressive. These conditions are the inevitable response to the enormous growth of the District of Columbia's popu- Iation, Ground once used for homesteads is now needed for business, and this fact adds to the worth of dwelling property, The business portions of the city are constantly widening and more homes are con- stantly required, and the suburbs are what are wanted. They afford every advantage that the city gives, and besides offer health, fresh air and the sense of freedoin that an abuntance of space gives. : ‘Washington's great suburb ts Glen Echo.
