EVENING “THE EVENING STAR. WASHI GTO? * THURSDAY February 23, 1893. THE EVENING STAR basa regular ; and permanent circulation in Washington three hat of any other paper in the city. As « lecal NEWS paper and Ad- Vertising Medium it bas no competitor. President-elect Cleveland has taken away the | ‘occupation of the political and other prophets who have for some weeks been busily engaged | in constructing irleal cabinets: he bas announced | his selections. Captions democrate may insist | that the official family which is to be after in-| @uguration is far from representative and | there will, of course, be growls because certain geographical sections several of them—have been thoroughly ignored. but it is none the less | true that Mr. Cleveland has gathered together eight strong men who ought to give the coun- try a satisfactory administration. Judge Gresham, as Secretary of State, will have to ac- quire a trifle of diplomatic veneer, but he 1s undoubtedly able to operate the de- partment of foreign affairs, John G. Carlisle is so sound a financier that no one seems to be in the slightest degree alarmed at his taking posession of the Treasury. Col. Daniel S. Lamont will bring to the War De- partment the activity which has made him = popular business success. Richard Olney ought to be a good Attorney General; he has refused proffered promotion to the Massachusetts Su- preme Bench and is, where known, regarded as lawyer of the first rank. Wilson S. Bissell not a public character. but he has a sound rep- utation and will undoubtedly give close atten- tion to the duties of Postmaster General. The nary will be safe enough under the control of Hilary A. Herbert, who, with his experience as chairman of the House committee on naval affairs, cannot fail to be a valuable counselor. Hoke Smith, although an unknown quantity in the field of administrative statesmanship, is a vig- crows and able man—just the kind of being needed at the head of the Interior Department. Asto the Department of Agriculture there is unanimity of ecomium on theappointmentof J. Sterling Morton: in fact, he promises to run Col. Lamont quite closely for the post of honor asthe most popular cabinet officer. There is Bo lack of legal talent in the big aggregation, for seven out of the eight have practiced law successfully. Take it all and all, there is no fault to be found with Mr. Cleveland's choice. He will be surrounded by practical men on whose judgment the country may safely rely. see Mr. John M. Ward, the eminent base ball ex- | pert, bas come to the conclusion that if the pitcher is moved back it will not be possible to get balls directly over the plate. That is just precisely why this city favors the retrograde idea, for if it is adopted the Washington team will have balf «chance. Last season, with the plate and the pitcher's box within easy bailing distance of each other, it happened too fre- quently that the Washington sphere failed to get within several feet of the rubber and our Datters too often refused to strike the ball when visiting pitchers passed it over the plate; now let the box be moved back so that visiting pitchers may also fail. Washington demands a Just equalization of base ball conditions and the opportunity to win an occasional game. ——_ +e. Americans of ail .shades of political belief tannot but sympathize with Gov. McKinley, who is now struggling in the deep waters of financial afiliction. Moved by the impulses of strong friendship he assumed responsibilities without realizing their existence and now finds himself practically ruined. With characteristic honesty the governor has placed all his prop- erty in the hands of his creditors and the assets have been considerably increased by the unsel- fish conduct of Mrs. McKinley, who possessed Some means in her own right. To be bankrupt atfifty years of age ‘ould discourage most men, but there is no weakness in the governor's declaration of intent to pay every cent of in- debtedness and re-establish himself. —___ ee The obstructions that ‘beset the course of true love are again brought to notice by the scientific declaration that kissing is a most effectual method of transferring microbes. ‘This is startling at first sight, but not import- ant as to any practical influence on the des- tinies of mankind. To some it may mean re- lief. It should, for instance, lead to interfer- ence in behalf of babies, who are continually Kissed for no other apparent reason than that they are helpless. But the people against whom such a publication is evidently directed are not likely to be visibly affected. Kissing Will not become « lost art. The whole thing will simply resolve itself into a matter of “Love me, love my microbe.” —<+6o——_—_— The hoisting of the stars and stripes on the ocean steamer New York yesterday was one of the most important events in recent American history. It means that within a few years, should present policies be practically continued, the United States will achieve that supremacy of the seas to which its enormous business interests entitle it ee Among the things that are admirable about Hoke Smith and his name are the facts that the name cannot be byphenatedand that Mr. Smith isevidently not the kind of man who would Byphenate it if he could. If Kansas won't send Judge Martin to the Bexate, by all means let it elect Mr. Waggener. ‘There is the most delightful alliteration in “Waggener’s whiskers.” ss Mr. Jenks wil! for a time at least be obliged > rest his fame in the fact that he is a first rate lawyer and has two very fine specimens of De- pew after-dinner whiskers. a Alittle thing like snow could not check the exthusiasm of the veteran firemen on Washing- | ton’s birthday. i Whatever other failures Major Mc Kinley may Rave mare, noone can accuse him of having failed to be an honest man. see. —_ Mr. Jenks furnishes further proof that the fidea that it is lucky to have a J im one’s name fea fallacy. ee ‘Mr. Cleveland might at least express the bope that Tammany will have a nice time at the inauguration. ——_— > «= —____ In England Charley Mitchell got into jail for Bitting somebody, which seems to be more than he is likely to do in this country. see Why not “General” Lamont now that he is to be Secretary of War? +02 ‘The Kansas legislature evidently feels that it fe quite competent to enjoin the supreme court. ——_+ += Kansas populists are sowing dragon's teeth, and without very much more attention on their part the crop will be » sanguinary success. The latest effort to stir mp strife has been made by the state senate, which yesterday adopted a resolution declaring that the supreme court of the state had no right to decide which was the legal house of representatives. Of course the supreme court will not be intimidated even by senatorial declarations and the chances are ‘that it will do just what seemeth unto it best— which, it seems certain, will be to decide in favor of the repubiicans. Should it do *o then Martin's election to the Sen- ate is void and the legislature will once ‘more proceed to elect @ successor to Bishop W. Perkins. In this event the lot is almost certain to fall upon E. P. Waggener, who seems to be ecceptable to republicans and democrats. Populist demagogues prophesy war should the supreme court decision result in the defeat of ‘Martin end it may be that frenzied fools will Commit acts of violence, but in so doing they | win destroy their party.

No house, especially one of like proportions with ours, can avoid the making of remnants, but there is no excuse for keeping them. Serving thousands of People daily with merchandise through sixty-six de- partments must of necessity result in great masses of broken and odd lots. short lengths. very emall sizes, very large igre, ends of lines: then in handling and displaying Bric-a-Brac, Glass Ware, China Ware, and the like it's simply impossible to prevent chipping. scratching or otherwise defacing -it now snd then. Now what is tobe done with such things? Allow them to collect week after week, keep them among the regular stock and sell a niece or so occasionally? ‘No. That isout of the question. We'd soon have ‘more than we could handle. Well, shall we distribute them smong the fresh, Perfect goods and sell them as such? No. We don’t do business in that way. Perfect goods for perfect— tmperfect for imperfect, That always has been, al- ‘ways will be the way here. The only alternative then is to get rid of them. The only way to get rid of them is to give them go-quick-prices. We fully understand this Remnant Day idea, because we are the suthors of it here in Washington. The short lenwths, odd sizes, &c., are reually worth as much as they ever were, becanse they ate nearly always seasonable and perfect. When otherwise we tell you. The chipped and scratched things are not worth as much, of course. We don’t ask it, we don’t want it, in either instance. If the coat or suit fits you, if you can use this end of dress stuff—take it at the reduced price. Ifthe scratched piece of Bric-a-brac or the chipped Pitcher or Goblet will serve your purpose the nezt-to-no-price won't stand in your way. Tomorrow's Remnant Day ts to he a memorable one.
