Already the Christmas shop- ping bas commenced and every «lay the crowds | in the business «treets and stores will grow big- ger until the final crush on Christmas eve. ‘The advice of old shoppers and of the mer- chante is that intending purchasers do their shopping before the crush.

For at such houses known that everything shown will be found to be precisely as represented, and not only that, but experience teaches also that in such houses will be found those thousand and one articles which make Christmas shopping the most de- lightful of the year. Such an establishment is Baum’s, 416 7th street. It would tax even the long columns of THe Star to enumerate a tenth of the ueful and beautiful goods offered there and only a visit there will suffice. For instance, there is a curtain and rug depart- ment, one of boys’ clothing, a clork and suit department. a wrapper department, one of fur- niture, another of millinery, another of under- wear, one of gloves, one of hosiery and so on. But if one would know all that is there then nothing less than a visit to every one of the numerous departments of this great store will discover them. F If foiks do not care to have their neighbors as witzesses of their holiday festivities good window curtains are a necessity. Julius Lans- burzh appreciates this fact and is now selling at the New York Avenue Rink a large assort- ment of them. Then, too, they give a room or parlor a neat and cheerful appearance. In the same line are screens. A more aneceptable present toa thrifty housewife could hard! found. Of course, as ia well known, Mr. Lans- burgh has a complete stock of carpetsand house- hold furnishings of all kinds, Mr. Lansburgh offers an attraction in five grand prizes, which will be drawn for later in the season. | Every one who enters the doors of that establishment will be presented with a ticket which entitles him to a chance for the prizes. ‘The tickets aro free and one each day can be obtained. The Rink is located_on New York avenue between 13th and 14th streets northwest. It is worth a Visit, as presents of a most substantial character can be found there. A woman cannot prepare for the Christmas holidays without an apron. They'are a neces- sity when the trimming of the house is begun, and in the kitchen when the housewife is super- intending the cooking of the plum pudding aprons are most useful things. They make « very suitable present and when one sends them toa friend one cannot go astray. But these reflections are equally applicable to. the in- numerable other goods ard noveities offered at Perry's, corner of Pennsylvania avenue and 9th street. “That immense establishment is filled With the most taking and bewitching of goods. If one is in doubt about what to give an ac- quaintance fora present hé need not worry himself any further. There isan establishment in this city which is open for this very class of persons, One has but to make ita visit and the perplexity changes to u matter of choice from many which are just the things that one has been looking for. ‘The place referred to is the Painis Royal. To give a list of the articles they have there would become tiresome, but the | word “everything” comes quite near to cover- ing it. Not only can one find there a present for his nearest and dearest, but the remainder of his purchases can be made at the Palais Royal unless one geis there too iate to get in. The tarilling experiences of Dr. Paton, the missionary from the New Hebrides, have inter- ested a number of people during bis brief stay in this city. Wm. Ballantyne & Sons offer two handsomely bound volumes of the experiences of this noted missionary at €2 for the set. And they offer thousands of other delightful volumes and Xmas novelties. George Spransy, the well-known clothier, is offering for the Christmas trade the rarest of bargains at the lowest prices. He guarantees every article. Remember, Spransy, the clothier! Owen, the tailor, 423 11th street northwest, is offering some of the neatest effects in the tailor- ing art ever seen in Washington. There are chances for those who need them at a moderate figure. men Z The Bon Marche, 314 and 316 7th street, calls attention to its list of Christmas novelties, which are varied in strle and cheap in price. Among some of the leaders are faney art embroidery pieces, mouchotr glove ard scarf casee, celluloid calendars, broom holders and photograph holders, faney China silk head rests, India silk mantel scarfs. This popular shopping | Place has surpassed its previous efforts in the way of providing for its Christmas patrons this year. Flanagan, whose jewelry manufacturing es tablishment is at 531 7th street, suggests that purehasers visit the store now, while the stock | 1s full, make their selections for Christmas and | by paying a deposit have their articles laid aside until they are ready to pay in full. The line of presents advertised includes watches, clocks, eardrops, rings. bracelets, pins, neck laces, charms, pens, lockets, chains, bangles, studs, badges, emblems, medale, pencils, garters, thimbles, combs, buckles and match safes, Half the enjoyment of the winter season con- sists in being able to go out on the stresta and at the same time keep your feet dry.

The same shoes without the cork soles are half a dollar cheaper. Lansburgh & Bro., 420 to 426 7th street, hold out tempting bargains to Christmas buyers. They offer all the newest publications of books at prices below the publishers’ price, children’s books and games of ali kinds, Books may be laid aside to be delivered when designated. ‘ome of the holiday novelties are pin trays, hairpin boxes and collar boxes in white metal, handsomely engraved. Also a complete line of sterling silver hair pms, lock bracelets and fine rolled plate pins. The firm suggests that a silk dress will make anacceptable Christmas present, and calls attention to the variety of silk goods m. The list includes change- able peau de soie, taffeta and surab, bengaline, tartan plaid surwhs and Persian brocades, nov- elty taffetas, pompadour satins and Japanese rik. A special «ale of chiffon boas, scarfs and jabots is now going on at this store. W. B. Moses & Sons, as. Christmas prelude, have made a general gelection from their stock f China silk. tapestries, fringes, &c., and have educed the price as an additioval attraction to the sale. They offer a quantity of Valence fringes at about half the usual prices; a lot of | gimps, moss edgings and curtain tassel fringes; about 1,000 yards of eretonne; several hundred yards of figured China silks, striped batuste, wikaline, satin tapestry, raw tapestry and Derby satin and fifty-inch French cords, all at a greatly reduced price. Lace curtains, heavy curtains and portieres, baby car- es, tricycles and velocipedes are _in- in ‘the reduced-price sale. The firm also calle attention to its large stock of furnitufe, carpets, draperies, upholstery gooda, bedding and wall papers, which is laid before ties and prices effered by the most extensive metropolitan dealers. Robinson, Parker & Co., the clothiers, at 1200 to 1204 F street, offer many useful bar- gains for Christmas. This firm has an exten- sive stock of strictly first class clothing, which in quality of cloth, workmanship of finish and fit is not excelled. The prices are entirely reasonable, and when the reliability of the | dealers und goods are taken into account, the firm claims that they cannot be underbid. Their list of Christmas sents includes, be- clothing, bath robes, smoking jackets, dressing gowns and house coats, articles of apyarel always acceptable to father. son, brother or friend.

It isnot a difficult matter to choose when one has so much to select from. Wedding invitations and visiting cards for the holiday season are engraved m the highest style of the art by Byron S.

At the August booth there is lemonade on tap, fans waving and hammocks, with their suggestions of last summer frolics.’ But they are all attrac- -tive, for that matter, and each one has its special attractions. By no means the least important feature of the evening was the dancing, judging from the enthusinem displayed by the young folks—and some old ones, too, mind you—and for the lat- ter part of the evening. beginning at 10 o'clock, this fenture threatened to eclipse some others. A wholesome lunch was served and was liberally patronized. The carnival will continue all this week.

Not a Cheering Outlook for the Republicans in That State. Correspondence of The Evening St: Torexa, Kax., Dec, 11, 1892, Republican leaders have been in consulta tion here during the past two days, The sena- torial situation was discussed, but no definite action was taken, 80 they are at sea as to the probable caucus nominee. Matters of greater importance to the party than the election of a United States Senator next month were discussed. ‘The future of the party in Kansas and the hope of regaining power called for the deliberate judgment and council of the leaders present. , Soon the new people's party will have com- plete control of the state government. If they elect a Senator they will be in full possession of the stato patronage, Tho democrats will share with them the satisfaction that at least the old exemy has been routed from ita strong- hold. Of course the populists will get none of the federal patronage—they do not expect it. All they want is the state offices, of which there are several hundred, including all pi tions. This is conceded by the democracy, und with one party holding state and the other the federal patronage the republican leaders anti pate another fusion two years bh both parties will be intren will have party machinery behind them, which certainly make a more dangerous foe than the combine which won in November, A man bich in republic Is went over the situation ax follows: ~The’ Unite te is very close. In two : will be elected for six years, demoeratic committee will want this Se ‘The only wav they can get him is to again have the Kansas democracy indorse the people's purty state and congrersional tickets with an under- standing that the Senator shall be a democrat. ‘This the peopie’s party wiil concede in order to hold the state government.” jut will all the democrats indorse this plan?” asked. ‘hey will have to, ‘The national leaders and Mr. Cleveland will whip them into'line almost tomman. They will thon have the patronage, and the democrat who would stand out and kick against the pressure that would be brought to bear on him had better leave the party. I believe the populists and democrats will fuse again in 1894, ax they did this year, and I can see no roseate future for the republicans in Kansas unless they go to work now and under- mine the opposition at every turn and create enough friction between the populists and democrats to prevent another fusion. This mas be possible, but it will require systematic work.” ‘This gentleman was reminded that the demo- cratic editors of Kansas had declared against further fusion, to which he replied: “That will amount to nothing. Didn't they resolve gainst it in the late campaign, and didn't the national democratic committee whip them into line, and that, too, when there was no patronage in sight to promise? Now that party has all the patronage, and you will find that the hope of an oftice will weaken the best of them.” ‘There is another important matter to con- sider. In the recent campaign any railroad influence in the state was for the republicans. ‘The party was defeated. Now, if the new party does not legislate against the’ interests of the railroads and treat them fairly they cannot be expected in two years hence to put up lai was ‘TUESDAY, 18, 1892—-TWELVE PAGES.

This argumentation is coincident with a growth in means and re- sources of livelihood and in material prosperity ofall kinds. The export of food grains in vast quantities continues, The average of population in the Indian em- ire is very moderate. Yor all that the density in some parts is considerable and in other parts too great. On the other hand there isa quantity of cultivatable land still un- used, the extent of which can be fully known by experience alone. Further, the existing cultivation can be made more ‘and more pro- ductive by agricultural science, by development of irrigation in detail and by improved appli- | ances for husbandry. ‘On the whole there is fair reason to hope that ‘the magnificent area of land will be able to sus tain its people, and that the accession of teem- ing millions decade after decade under the British rule may be welcomed without an after- thought. = = other there have been and still are juently recurring causes to check the growth of population.

A New Sort of Crop Which American Farm- ers Might Sow With Profit. Why not cultivate esparto grass in the United States? It has been enggested to the Depart- ment of Agriculture that such an industry might be rendered most profitable. In Spain this plant bas a natural and luxuriant growth in the valleys and on the tablelands, especially in the provinces of Almeria, Murcia and Gra- nada, It is r about two and a half feet high and yields abundantly two crops a year, It isnot cut, but is pulled, and the ground is burned over every ten years, itis gathered in July and August, grows spontaneously and needs no irrigation. ‘The total annual production is from 70,000 to 80,000 tons, of whicis 60,000 tons are shipped to Scotiand and England for the manufacture of paper, the balance being retained for home {consumption in the making of very strong ropes, baskets, matting, sandals, &c. ‘ormerly the esparto grass in Spain was per- mitted to run to waste and was used only as fuel; but now it has become an important artt- clo of export, and land that was considered only a few years ago almost valueless lias been rendered of great worth by the yield of this article. The plant is almost identical with what is called “wire grass” in the United States.
