NorEs THE EVENING STAR hase regular and | permanest circulation in Washington three times larger than ¢! y other paper in — the city. As a local NEWS pape! d Ads vertisiog Medium it no competitor. People whose desire it is to have the world understand that American statesmanship is but another name for American honor cannot be indifferent to some recent happenings in the United States Senate. The snperficial and present facts are that Senator Hoar resterday offered a resolution directing the committee on privileges and elections to investigate the alle- gations extensively made in the public press ebarging William N. Roach, a Senator from the siate of North Dakota, with the offense of criminal embezzlement, to report the facts of the transaction referred to; and. further, to report what is the dutr of the Senate in relation thereto. | That such a resolution sould have been offered is far from surprising. Ever sinee Mr. Roach’s election the story of his trouble with the Citi- zens’ National Bank of this city has been cir- culated with the utmost freedom in the pubiic press and yet so far as Tue Star is aware, Mr. Roach has neglected every opportunity to either deny or expiain the damaging statements. Perhaps his silence has been misconstrued, but if that is so he alone must bear the responsibil- ity for the misconstruction. for when a Sen- ator of the United States—who should represent the honor and dignity of the country—evades direct queries as to a questionable transaction he is not unreasona- Diy viewed as virtually admitting some measure of wrong-doing. Vague calumny may some- times bedefeated by voiceless scorn, but definite and specific accusations insist upon recognition. In view, therefore, of the commonly-diseused circumstances, it is not surprising that many Senators should be unwilling to have the exelted body of which they are members tainted even by an imputation and should insist that Senator Roach make some explanation or defence. That the resolution must be adopted is almost certain, for political considerations are as nothing on either side of the chamber when honor is in- volved. Then the facts—whatever they may be —will become of official record and on them the Senate and the American people will base what will probably be perfectly just conclusions. Itis suggested that other Senators than Mr. Roach ean be accused of crime. If any Senator will take upon himself the responsibility of for- mulating definite charges of violations of the criminal law against any other member of the Senate, the same investigation shoald be had as that proposed in the case of Mr. Koach. There | should of course be no politica! or personal dis- crimination in the Senate's cleansing efforts. Bat eare should be taken to confine the investi- gation and discussion to definite charges re- sponsibly made. Otherwise nothing will result but a windstorm of vague recriminatory innu- endo, which will cloud the reputation of the Senate without effecting the slightest purifica- tion of the morai atmosphere. a If the Sanitary League accor shes nothing more than to spread through the community ‘useful and accurate information on matters of sanitation and bygiens it will have justified its existence. Already it has done much in that line. It intends however to doa great deal in addition to this work of instruction. Its plan | is to have at least one vigilant member of the ‘League on each square of ths city, who will. make it his business, or her business, for women are welcomed as members, to report ‘upon the sanitary condition of the square. Isis believed that this wide spread member- ship will afford effective means for the dis- semination among people of the most useful information on sanitary subjects and instruc- tion in the rules to be followed to prevent the beginning or the spread of disease, and of interesting citizens in sanitary work, so they ‘will lend cordini co-operation to the efforts of the League and of the Health Department to put the city in the best sanitary condition. ‘The information obtained by the volunteer in- spectors of the League supplementing that | secur:d by the limited inspection force of the Healta Department will afford the basis for the most effective sanitary work. It is con- fidently believed that this work of the League will result in removing or at least greatly lessening the danger that might threaten the city in case cholera appeared on this side of the Atlantic this summer. A visitation of cholera, however, appalling such a thing may seem to the popular mind, is really of secondary importance, when the many lives annually destroved by preventable diseases, which have lost their terrors by their constant presence in the community, are considered. ‘The League proposes to arouse citizens to a | realization of the dangers constantly in their midst and to-enlist thir efforts in removing them. It proposes a great cooperative associa- tion of citizens, whose purpose is to save life | and to make Washington conspicuous among ities for its healthfulness. Everyone should be interested in these objects, and should join the League. A general invitation has been ex- tended by the League to citizens to become members. The means of enrolling their names, with little trouble to themselves, is afforded | readers of the Star by the couponapplication | published in another colamn. <2 The great objection raised to the closing of the world’s fair on Sunday was on behalf of the poor working man. Aftera glance at the amount that it will cost to attend the great ex- hibition it looks as if the fair might be closed ail the week so far as the poor working man is concerned. —r-o--__ ‘Sen Francisco is now a candidate for recog- nition as the great divorce center. If the westward course of this industry continues there is a great future for Hawaii. see | ‘The world’s fair managers have calculated that there will be 100.000 dead heads at the | world’s fair,—Mr. Holman and 99.999 others. se ‘The suicide epidemic bids fair to completely circumvent the grip microbe. — ‘The esteemed Philadelphia Press, very prop- ‘erly loyal to Pennsylvania institutions, but a trifle quiek ou the trigger. is moved to Utterances because a staff officer of the sec- | ond brigade of the state troops remained in this city for some days after inauguration day to investigate charges made against some mem- bers of two regiments of Brig. Gen. Wi- ley's command. The accusation was that the men had looted » street-stand bat in the opinion of the staff officer the charges were not sustained, Commenting upon the officer's report the Press says that “this is not the first time that sumilar charges have been made against Pennsylvania troops in| Washington. In fact, they bave never been in that city that some effort has not been made to bring them into disre- pute by accusations of some sort. For | some reason Washington has considerable Prejudice against our guard, and the state au- thorities may well cousider whether under all the circumstances it is worth while to allow it to participate in inaugural parades hereafter.” ‘Theonly accurate statement in that quotation Sethe one that sumilar charges have been made on ‘mony that emanated from Pennsylvania militia- men. There is nots article of foundation for saying that local efforts are made to bring the Keystone soidiers into disrepute tor is it fair to this community to insist that there is prejudice agsinst the Pennsylvania boys in blue. Such intimations spring from « supersensitive- ness and = dislike for honest criti- | ism that prevents a phase of Pennsyi- Vania character heretofore unknown. It te @ fact that some of the Pennsylvania geardsmen have misbehaved while in this eity. ‘Been on their latest visit bere when the general conduct of the Pennsylvanians was beyond re- proach, three of them who had become intoxi- cated, and were tearing down signs, and kick- ing beer barrels about the streets were taken before our police court, lectured by the judge and put under bonds, but a reference to their misconduct does not involve condemnation of the entire division nor should it arouse cham- picns who scem equally willing to defend right or wrong. Tux Stax has, when necessary, con- demned misbehavior, but it bas always been as ready to praise. Commenting on the events of the inangural period just past, Tur Star said: “The Pennsylvania troops. freely and pro- perly criticised in years gone by, behaved ad- mirabiy. For this they are not entitled to com- mendation—soldiers shonld always be gentle- men—but mention is made of their good con- duct because some of the supersensitive among their officers, careless as to facts and jealous only of newspaper reputation, have complained of unfair treatment.” ‘There is the difficulty, in a nutshell. Penn- yivania’s army will always be welcomed in Washington if the general average of good con- duct displayed here during its most recent visit is sustained. Should the District National Guard ever mis- bebave itself when away from home the news- papers of Washington will leave no stone un- turned to secure punishment for the guilty. Such activity would be in the interest of disci- | pline and local character. The Pennsylvania National Guard may well pray to be delivered from those who claim to be its friends and who imagine that friendship consists in endeavoring to cover up wrongdoing. « er This is the day when the Washington base ball enthusiast commences to make himself heard for the season of 1898, for this afternoon the league teu which has its habitation here will start in to earn its salary. Like all of its pre- decessors it is declared to bea better aggrega- tion of ball playing talent than any the city has been favored with. and official announcement to thateffect is greeted as cordially as similar statements have been in years gone by. us hope that when the schedule closes Washington will oceupy a respectably elevated jon on the records. This is the national , more beautiful end in many respects more progressive than any other city on the continent. Why should its ball team always finish last? Are we achieving our high-grade civilization at the ex- pense of athletic vigor? In common with the majority of newspapers Tux Stax has indulged in facetious or satirical comment on the arts of pitching or batting or base running. It may contmue to do so. Whether it will or not de- pends largely upon the quality of the talent with which the “magnates” supply this com- munity. Good base bail is healthful, profitable and commendable. Poor base ball is worse than none. ——-- +02 —___. It is interesting to note what is now being said of the career of the late Elliot F. Shep- ard. During hjs life he was the subject of much remark of a kind under which most men would smart, It was comment which he might easily have averted had be chosen. But he seemed rather to invite it. The American public in its demands to be amused often in- sists upon a magnifying of matters which are only trifles in the make up of a man. Butit is after all a sensible public that does not forget that such picture isa distortion and not a por- trait, After death the trifles are swept aside. ‘The broad view of character and personality re- mainsalone. An in this spirit the comment on Elliot F. Shepard is invariably kind. —t+o—— The great question of dress looms up con- spicuously in connection with the world’s fair statuary. The statue of Hebe that is to stand on the Lake Front has been given extra gar- ments and will no doubt look with a Puritanical air of superiority on the statue of Diana, who had to leave New York because of her failure to observe the conventionalities. The most re- markable thing about it all is that no enterpris- ing milliner has seized the opportunity to de sign the dress and get a great advertisement, - a ‘The promise that “Every day ‘ll be Sunday oy and by” may soon be realized in Chicago if he solons continue in their humor for holiday making. —_ + ++ —_ An Illinois man is said to have invented an artificial egg that cannot be distinguished from the genuine article.

THE RESULT. | WASHINGTON, D. C., March 29, 1891.—It is un- | known to many, perhaps, that there is = method by which a great saving can be effected in the manipula- tion of the freight question. For the benefit of our many friends and customers, as well as for those who have not yet acquainted themselves with our estab lishment and our broad views on all matters of busi- ness, we propose to practically demonstrate how we are enabled, by strict economy in freight rates, to 0 direct the shipping of our stock as to be in position to offer goods at a great saving to our customers. For inscance: The freizht on a carload of bed room suites from Grand Rapids would amount to $105. The tity of furniture, if shipped jat is termed “‘open freight," would cost $140. As we alw-ys order in carload .ots, sometimes having stock from two or three factories in one car, it will be readily seen that there is saving of $35 on asing.e car, which is equ.valent tos saving of 334 percent op an investment of $105. What, then, must be the saving of « season? In this way we are enabled to divide up this saving by figuring our cost on the les: amount paid for freirht, instead of the advanced amount of one-third xreater if shipped by open freight, which would necessarily have to be done had the goods been shipped in this way. Thus we are prepared to place ‘our voods befor the public on a fairer basis of profit than would otherwire be the case, ‘We have made this explanation to show to all why itis that wecan aff rd to handle our goods at such wenderruily low prices for the quality offered. Stop to consider this a moment and it will force its-If on you a8 a practical tru:h. A second point well worthy of consideration is the fact that we settle our bills wi-bin ten (10) days after the shipment of freight from the factories to us, thus obtaining the extra 2 per cent discount for cash. ‘There are but few frms in America, by the way, that are always n position to do this. ma purchas+ of $50,000 this little item alone saves $1,000, and by following the method of saipping as given above an additional saving of '50 is effected on the same purchase. Thus, by these plain, straightforward truths, can be seen the great advantage tue buyer has in purchasing from us. ‘Yours, for business, W. B. MOSES & SONS, It 11TH AND F STS, ¥.W.
