4 THE*+ EVENING STAR. WASHIN GTON. ‘THURSDAY ..... -March 9, 1893. CRosBy 5. NorES. -Editer. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation in Washington three times larger than that ofany ether paper in the city. As « lecal NEWS paper and Ad- vertisiog Mediam it has ne competitor. With a well-defined idea of their powers in the matter of liquor-license the District Com- missioners may now go ahead and administer the law which resulted from more than a little agitation and a great deal of incessant labor. For some little time the issuing of licenses has been suspended. the Commissioners being averse to proceeding under old methods and unwilling to adopt the new ones until the best available legal advice had been secured. Today Mr. S. ‘T. Thomas, assistant attorney for the District, | rendered s series of opinions in response to questions put by the Commissioners and thus settled, so far as an opinion can settle anything. sevoral objections raised by those who are opposed to legislation that promises to make the selling of liquor less profit- able. From the replies, printed elsewhere it ‘Te Stan it is evident that the excise board, which is composed of the board of commis- sioners, is invested with discretionary powers | “to be exercised in view of the facts and cir-| cumstances of each particular case.” Who contended that the excise board had not such powers is not apparent. “If,” says Attorney Thomas, “it had been intended that every applicant for license, when he had complied with | the statutory preliminaries, was entitled toa license, as matter of right, irrespective of moral | or other qualifications, then I think Congress would not have used the expression ‘if the board should decide to grant the license prayed for," found in section $ of the act.” It there- fore is clear—and it seems more than strange that anyone should have thought other- wise—that the board is authorized by Congres to consider applications and to decide | when it will grant them. Applications not | acted upon prior to the 3d instant must be re- newed, if at all, under the new law, but when applications were approved before that date it only remains for the assessor to perform the ministerial act of issuing the licenses. It is | may not be amiss to place it before the eyes of those ho have journeyed hither for the avowed purpose of securing District offices. From all points of the compass have come those seekers after place who, despite their warmth of utterance as to carpet-baggers, are willing, for # substantial consideration, to cast aside their alleged principles and be carpet- baggers of the most pronounced type. In view of that platform plank to which we direct attention and with a reasonable theory as to the increased rigidity of Mr. Cleveland's spinal column Tui Star believes it is only doing vis- itors—many visitors—a kindly service when it recommends them to fix their hungry affec- tions on positions which are not local in their habitation. District offices will of course go to It is stated that Mr. Cleveland will offer Joe Jefferson a foreign mission.

But I believe it’s the man’s busi- ness to keep in hailing distance.” ‘What bliss in ignorance serene Will come ‘neath style’s direction! What mice will scamper all unseen "Neath crinolines’ protection! “Lam several laps ahead,” said the cat who had stolen the cream. The manner in which the President's hand has been shaken by the public is enough to tak the conceit out of any malaria microbe. also made clear that licenses may be issued | for the remainder of the current license | year. Attorney ‘Thomas is satistled that the proprietor of any established hotel or tavern having twenty chambers for lodging guests is entitled to a license as a matter of right, if be complies with the provisions of the act but at the same time attention is directed to the fact that two convictions of violating any provisions of the act can bring about a revocation | of the license. The opinions are pointed and | unencumbered with superfluous language; they | may not be misunderstood. Some of the liquor men say they will fight the law, but in view of the fact that it was largely framed by them- selves such stultification is hardly probable. It will be interesting to note the point, if any, which is assailed. Will the weak place be found in the portions drafted by the dealers or is a charge to be made upon one of the amend- ments? Washington generally is content with the measure asa substitute for far worse con- ditions existing when the law was enacted. and this community will not view with complacency or silent carelessness any effort to abbreviate ite usefulness or damage its vitality. The law | is to be vigorousiy enforced. ——— wee Murderers and burglars frequently resist ar- rest and under even the least disturbing cir- cumstances cen have little affection for those who place obstructions in the pathway of crime. but in civilized countries it is not often that desperate villains endeavor to bring about the imearceration of their captors. They do things differently in Texas. For the past two years Capt. John G. Bourke of the third United States cavelry has been worrying the bandits who make life miserable for the most of the decent people along our southern border, and in that confparatively brief period has ad- mittedly rendered more effective service than any other officer in that region. Asa reward for this untiring energy and sleepless vigilance be bas been ordered to dnty at Chicago | in connection with exposition affairs and now | some of the civil authorities in Starr county are | clamoring for his detention, charging him with | erueity to persons who were suspected of being mixed up in the Garza difficulty. It is the same old story, and every officer that ever tried todo his duty in those border counties has been similarly attacked. Sheriffs and deputy sheriffs thereabouts are nearly all of the revo- lntionary and lawless breed that delights in disturbance and plunder. With but few excep- tions they are smugglers—if notin deed in the irit—and whenever there is opportunity they violate all laws just as cheerfully as they Will wink at their violation by others who have the financial string that promotes depression of the eyelids, Washington knows Capt. Bourke | too well to believe any of the wild accusations | that are brought against him. <= ‘Through the courtesy of Representative John L. Bretz. who cares for the democrats of the second Indiana district. there has been made | public a piece of news which will cause more weeping and wailing and gnashing of democratic teeth than anything that has happened since the | electoral commission decided in favor of Ruth- | erford B. Hayes. In the multitude that called upon President Cleveland yesterday was Rep- resentative Bretz and when he reached the presidential presence he asked the chief magis- trate whether it was true, as generally rumored, ‘that persons who held office under Cleveland's first administration would not, asa rule, be re- | appointed. He was informed that there was substantial foundation for the rumor and that the probibition applied to all varieties of fed- eral office. If Representative Bretz bas been correctly quoted there will be but few of the old familiar faces in Washington during the Present term, and those countenances that ma be visible will be more or lese distorted by un- spoken agony. But the candidates who were neglected eight years ago are smiling. —— = | ‘The Baltimore American suggests that Speaker Flynn of the New Jersey legislature | ought to move to South America and go into the @ictatorship business. Decent people don’t care very much what profession Mr. Flynn attaches himself to, but any proposition that has for its object the transportation of Flynn will receive | bearty publee support. . soo ‘That things are progressing about as asual in South America is indicated by the fact that the people are ableto get up a first-class crisis whenever the need is felt. —>-2-2—__— If the New York Sun undertakes to groan every time Tammany gets headache it will Bave a very considerable contract on its hands, a ‘The Fitzsimmons-Hall prize fight manage- ‘Ment might have secured greater share of Popular attention if they had selected s time when political matters were not quite so ab- *sorbing. os ‘There are several men who attended the | imanguration who begin co suspect that all they are to get out of this administration is « bad —- wee - “We bold that the officials appointed to ad- minister the government of any territory, to- gether with the Districts of Columbia and Alaska, should be bona-fide residents of the ter- ritory or district in whieh their duties are to be | performed.

Ixrortast To Lapres. A xew 2ra is opening in dresomaking that is over- coming the prejudices of the most exacting. Ready- made costumes are bring produced that equal in style, finish and fit the best productions of the leading mo- distes, ‘Time, worry and money is saved and less risk is incurred, That this is not merely a theory is evident by the Gisplay at the Palais Royal. You are invited to in- ‘vestigate. Acritical examination of the styles, ma- terials and finish, and a practical test of “‘the At" of these ready-made costumes, should enable you to come toa fair conclusion. The only possible objection ‘we can surmise you will make is that possibly others may secure similar garments. But you have been anti- cipated. Here are over three hundred costumes,' no theo of which are alike,and none like them are to come. It seems unusual that because of this fact lower prices inatead of higher grices are asked. The explanation is that the manufacturers ultimately util- ize only the garments that bring the best profits, so that samples of costumes made of very choice mate- rials and elaborately made and finished are rejected for those with more **money in them.” Thus we have exclusive styles and ridiculously low prices for the chojeest of the new season's costumes, made of the very best English and French suitines and finished with acarean@ elaboration that only exhibition or sample garmentsever receive. Asan illustration we quote the Bolero Suits, with umbrella skirts, at only $15.50. You'll notice the braid trimming as on the imported tailor-made cos- tumes. And, ridiculous as it may seem, exclusive style and perfectly fitting Suite may be had for only Dic. 1040. 10k. 10}. 21a 25. ‘Ha! Ha! Le. Quality Surah Satines, as neat as the word iteelf Going!
