THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON. | THURSDAY February CROSBY 5. NOTES THE EVENING STAK basa regular and permasent circulation Washington three | times larger than that ef any other paper in the city. As a local NEWS paper and Ad- vertising Medium it bas ne competitor. —— “There is nothing so conciliating as « little severity” and there is sometimes nothing so permanently reassuring as a little timely appre- beusion ‘The tume to talk about cholera and to fear cholera ia the present, when there is op- portunity for defensive and precautionary preparation, and before an epidemic is here. Apprehension today leads to the removal of the conditions of filth and of contaminated water supply, in which cholera thrives. Appre- hension four months from now, with cholera impending and no time for defensive measures #f until then neglected, will make men desperate and panic stricken and drive them into the meatal condition im which they fall an easy other epidemic. The moral is, be frightened today when fright means sanitary precautions and an increase of the cleanliness which is next to godliness and 4 farthest possible removed from epidemic disease. Do not be frightened next summer when fright is the desperate panic which increases the danger of falling « vietim to the cholera. It is the pur- pose of the Sanitary League, which bas been organized, to sound this note of warn- ing now, in order that there may be no chol- era panic and no cause or ground for a cholera panic next summer. Every public-spirited cit- fzen interested in the betterment of the sani: tary condition of the city, of his neighborhood, of his family, of himself, should co-op- erate heartily with the Sanitary Leagne, should place himself among its members and further in every manner possible its work of inspection and imstruetion. The investigation into unsanitary conditions in ail parte of the city, which will be made part of the work of the league, will result im public benefit without reference to the | cholera. The sound information on sanitary subjects which the league desires to distribute to every household in Washington cannot fail to result in benefit to the public health nomat- | ter whether these health hints are found nee- eesary to ward off cholera or not. In either event the sanitary league will prove ef inestimable benefit. It will thor- ‘onghly prepare the city for a succesful | struggle with the cholera if the epidemie comes, | and if the apprebension of cholera’s visit shall prove to have been unfounded it will have eon- verted the cholera scare into an incaleulat@ | public blessing by turning men's thoughts to | health considerations, by causing « gen-| eral cleaning of the city and a general removal of unsanitary conditions, which can- not fail to result in © marked permanent | Betterment of the public health. Let every householder of the District either as & member of the Sanitary League or in| his individual capacity look to the condition of | his house and his back yard and join with his | neighbor in discovering and removing the pest | holes and disease sources of the neighborhood, whatever ther may be. When this system | of minute and searching local inspection and correction bas been applied everywhere | in Washington the city will soon be in condition to laugh at the suggestion of danger to it from cholera or from any other | filth disease whatsoever. It is the ambition of | the people of Washington to place the capital |@iong. fm this condition, not only on their own ac- count with health and safety in view, but in order that the capital may perform its proper funetion in this as in all other respects and be- come a model for all other American munici- palities to imitate. — Not until the senatorial deadlocks in North Dakota, Montana and Washington have been Lroken will the precise political complexion of the United States Senate, which is to be after the fourth of March, be apparent to the many anxious ones who are watching the gradual official extinction of the republican party. It te but reasonable to suppose that the logisia-| tures of both North Dakota and Washington will | eicet republicans, for the troubles in those | states spring from dissensions within the re- publican ranks, but the chances in Montana are | decidedly democratic, in spite of the fact that | a democrat yesterday voted for Senator Sanders, who is the republican meat in an otherwise deraceratic sandwich. Florida will, of course, return a democrat, so it may be reasonably ‘estimated that the party which will be exalted next month is going to have control of the Sen- ate, for there will be forty-four democrats, forty republicans and four populists. Should | all the populists vote with the republicans—a | most itaprobable possibility the result would | be « tie,and this the vice-president would speed- ily break. The democratic party will, at noon of the fourth of March, be unanimously tri- umphant. Great responsibility attaches to the | honors bestowed by the American people and | much will be demanded of an administration | which cannot for at least two vears be seriously | interfered with by any partisan opposition. —— | not vote tberatty on all pension mattera, The warning has reached him several times and as | he insists on doing what he believes to be right | his “Whitecap” critics may really attempt to | hurt him. With boundless confidence in the earnestness of those who seek Mr. Mutchler's gore Tux Stam promulgates the following Con- | &ressional Directory information for the benefit of those who desire to work up obituary notices in advanee: “William Matchler of Easton was born in Northampton county, Pa., December 21, 1831; received an academic education; is a lawyer by | professson; was prothonotary of his native county from 1860 to 1866; was appointed as- | sessor of internal revenue by President Jobn- son in March, 1867, and held the office until May, 1869; was chairman of the democratic state committee of Pennsylvania in 1869-'70 was a member of the 44th, 47th, 48th and Sist Congresses, and was re-elected to 52d Con- gress as democrat, receiving 17.424 votes against 10,549 votes for George M. Davis, re- ablican: 11 votes for George W. Gross, pro- ibitionist, and 2 votes scattering.” oo | The imitative faculty of the Chinaman has revealed itself in a most murderous manner. It is not surprising. East week a mob of frenzied Texans tortured and burned to death a crim- inal who, under the state law, would have been properly and promptly executed. Yesterday the Chinamen who live in El Paso, Tex., tired of supporting an aged celestial, bound him with wire to the floor of @ small frame build- ing, saturated him and his surroundings with inflammable oil, secured the doors and windows and then set fire to the place. And that was the last of Moy Jim. In many respecte—cer- tainly as to privacy and absence of torture. the celestials—whom we frequently term heathen— are cousiderably ahead of the white men of Paris, Tex.—who have hitherto been regarded as civilized. —_++-—____ There is still much suffering among the poorer people of this community; not from extreme cold, but from hunger, consequent largely upon the absence of employment during the severe weather which so unexpectedly visited this re- gion. Charitable hands and hearts will find much to do forsome time yet. Tux Srar will distribute any funds or clothing or food sent to this office by those who remember the poor. ee Our great holidays seem destined to create tronble. No sooner do inauguration affuirs be- gin to progress smoothly than discord looms up in the Emancipation day arrangements. 6 SHOOTING STARS. “I declare!” said the missionary wearily; “these cannibals are constantly doing some- thing to get a man into hot water.” “Shall I sing”? she asked. “Yes,” he answered. “Sing ‘Someday.’” And then she became indignant and said that if she couldn't sing nght off she wouldn't sing at all.

It is the Jjirat time in the history of Wash- ington that such a magnifi- cent and first-class stock was ever offered at “one price” for cash or credit—at the will of the purchaser. We are nothing if not original. We have no string tied to the furniture we sell you on time. It is purely a ‘mat. ter of confidence between us, Surely you do not have to be told that it is a new wrinkle to be «ble te pur- chaso first-class furniture on cfedit without interest and without giving notes or being Yothered with other layal complications, which are lit- tle understood by the aver- age woman, We have laid our plans for double our usual amount of spring business. We have just opened our ‘pring importation of China and Japm Mattings, — 20c. per yard and up. We have also placed on dis- play an attractive line of Baby Carriages. We have also recefvel our spring importation of Dimi- ties, Cretons, Plain and Striped Linens, &c., for loose covers, and are taking orders for them on credit. INAUGURAL DECORATIONS. It is hardly necessary to say that we are “peculiar fo ourselves” when it comes to inangural decorations, We are prepared to submit de- signs and plans with esti- mates for decorating buildings Free of charge, OTHER ATTRACTIONS.
