4 THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTOV, Nn. C. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 28. 1893—TEN PAGES. THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. THE EVENING STAR hasa regular and permanent circulation in Washing- tom more than three times larger than that of any other paper. As a News and Advertising Medium it has mo competitor. D7 Letters to THE STAR should be so addressed, or to the Editerial or Basi- mess Department, according to their character or purpose, not to any indi- vidual connected with the office. At the time of the cession of the present District by Maryland the then existing law of that state was continued in the federal territory. The common law and the British and Maryland statutes which composed the, Maryland law of that period have been re- peatedly amended and revised by successive state legislatures, and the Maryland statutes have substantially kept pace with the move- ments of public sentiment and the growth of modern ideas. In the District on the con- trary the only alterations of the general laws of a hundred years ago have been the scat- tered, unsystematic and entirely inadequate enactments of Congress, which for three- fourths of a century took too little real interest in the capital, and which even in recent years, has not seemed able to relieve the District by # comprehensive enactment from the burden of antiquated laws of a by- gone century. Not many years after the cession the people began to complain that through Congressional neglect their statutes were not sufficiently flexible. Since that time successive revisions have exposed the increasing defects, absurdities and barbar- ities of our law, but all in vain. Not only has it been impossible to secure the enact- ment of a code which should embody some of the modern legislative ideas, but even at- tempts to secure an authoritative revision of the laws, which should state the law as it Some of the good friends of the District the House are enlisting for another cam- to secure better and more certain laws for the capital. A special subcommittee on codification has beén appointed in the Dis- Five years ago there was an energetic movement for the betterment of the local laws in which The Star actively participated. printing office on the order of the Supreme Court. The result of the four years’ labor of the compilers should now be available as the basis of intelligent activity in urging @ revision or codification.

Wash- ington is a progressive nineteenth century and an eighteenth century body of merely disfigured by subsequent ran- g cure a foothold—Gladstone showed most conclusively that the house of lords had neither the right nor the power to bring about a dissolution of parliament, and their effort to usurp powers vested by the con- stitution in the crown, the ministry and the commons was properly stigmatized as high treason; “if,” he added, “this is to continue to be a self-governing country.” The peers are without any other than per- sonal responsibility while members of the house of commons must answer to their constituencies for their votes, and as the Present house of commons comes fresh from its creators, the people, it is un- doubtedly a truthful mirror of public senti- ment on the long-agitated Irish question. ‘That the lords must recognize this condi- tion can hardly be questioned. If they do not then they will surely imperil their leg- islative existence. In times past the peers have retreated. They assisted in the re- peal of the corn laws and in the repeal of the soap duty; they voted to disestablish the church in Ireland and agreed to the land act of 1870; although to each of those measures they had been as hostile as they now are to home rule. If they should be tempted to continued stubbornness on this great question it will do them real good to read Gladstone's concluding declaration: “If the nation is determined,” said he, “it will not be baffled by a phalanx of five hundred peers. We have the will of the country to execute and cannot submit to the house of lords, although they bear high- sounding titles and sit in a gilded cham- ber. The next session will not pass with- out your seeing this subject again appear- ing above the waves, where it has for the moment appeared to founder. The nation has given us the authority and propelled us on our course, and it is our duty and hope and belief that we shall find, with the help of the Almighty, means to reach the goal.” ——_~+++__ It is at least to be hoped that Mr. Al- rich will be enabled through some western Rewspaper paragraph to appreciate the lavish attentions which are being showered on him here in the way of indictments. 2-6 It is lkely Washington and the Sham- Tocks will play here next Sunday—Cincin- nati Enquirer.

The Book That Helped Him. “Would you oblige me,” said the reporter what book has helped you most in life?’ And after a thoughtful pause the great man answered “My bank book, An After Dinner Orator. “What shall I do in such a plight! He shouted, sore dismayed. “I have to make a speech tonight And my scrap book I’ve mislaid.” ‘The Cause of Delay. “Something seems to have clogged the wheels of legislation,” remarked a visitor to the Capitol. 'Yes,” replied the man who was showing him around; “the silver Senators have gone and pulled the air-brake.” A Distinction. “I want to introduce you to Mr. Sadscan,” said the hostess. “Oh, yes; replied the young man, “he is patching, is unsuitable to its condition. It ts time that the statutes of the capital ceased to serve mainly as a museum of antiquities, displaying curiosities, wonders and horrors to the investigator. —— +02 Perhaps the financial situation would be greatly improved were it generally under- stood that men are planning to increase the visible supply of gold to fully ten times gold in the ocean, but the difficulties at- tending the separation of the precious met- al and so much moisture have been regarded as almost insuperable. But now comes the inventor of a new process who has been experimenting with the water contained in the Great Salt Lake and who says that there are three dollars worth of gold in every ton of lake water. The extraction of the mineral will cost, he figures out, but fifty cents per ton. It is estimated that there are 15,000,000,000 tons of fluid in the Mormon wash bow! and unless the assayers and arithmeticians are seriously at fault ft would seem as though the water should contain gold to the modest amount of $45 - (09,000,000. ‘The total cost of getting this out is set at $7,500,000, which leaves an apparent profit of $87,500,000,000. A congres- stonal committee—composed principally of Senators Wolcott, Peffer, Stewart and Al- Jen—should at once be sent to investigate and {f the conditions are as they are repre- sented to be should recommend the pur- chase of the lake by the nation, payment | to be made in silver at the ratio of 16 to 1, and the acquisition to be followed imme- | diately by the issue of treasury salt water | certificates, the lowest in value to be based on not less than seven tons of lake liquid, equivalent, of course, to the sum of £1 in gold. If that does not relieve the strin- gency then Congress may as well go out of business. +02] Senator Cameron is reaping a very large erep of whirlwind from a comparatively small sowing of wind. ee ‘The President has decided that business fs more important than handshaking. ¢ 212] If the house of lords has any care as to ft own existence it will heed the warn- ing uttered yesterday by Gladstone and ap- Dlauded by the vast audience that listened intently and intelligently to his review and his prophesy. It was a remarkable speech and unless there is more of insan- ity in the house of lords than is generally and reasonably supposed to have an abid-| fmg place there the Gladstonian utterances | cam hardly fail to bring about an access | of interest on the part of the peers in leg- falation submitted to them by the popular branch of Britain's parliament.

From the Omaha Bee. ‘That Indiana postmaster who is said to have offered a bribe of $15 to his Congress- man for permission to continue to hold of- fice must have been a backwoodsman from the backwoods.

Remnant Day brings practical, economical thoughts—for reduced prices are the ruling power— the attractive feature. We plan for this day, We work for it, we put our best business energy inte it—We're just as untiring in our efforts to improve in this as in every other branch of our Dusiness. Our systematic planning brings about these Bargain Days ‘and public appreciation takes hold of them and makes them a success. Tomorrow will be Remnant Day, and at your command all over the house are bargains—bargains that tell of many a dime and many a dollar saved. ‘You can readily see that a business of such proportions as ours makes hundreds and hundreds of “short lengths,"’ “odd sizes,’ “broken lines,"’ small lots, &c. Then things will, from one cause or another, get soiled, marred, scratched and otherwise defaced. Although all imperfect goods are sold on these occasions, and for a mere trifle, WRAPS, JACKETS, SUITS, &c., of which only the very small or very large sizes remain—DRESS STUFFS of silk, wool and cotton—LACES, RIBBONS, &e., In useful lengths—-UNDERWEAR, HOSIERY, GLOVES, &c., in odd sizes and broken lots, are also taken from the different stocks by the sales people and laid aside until Friday, when they are examgned, ticketed and marked at such reduced prices that they sell at once. Black and colored dress goods departments hold out rare inducements. Many a desirable length ean be bad for a “world’s fair” or traveling dress. The price will be no barrier, for in many cases it’s less than half the original. Don't confine yourself to what is published here, but ask at the ‘counter, you'll certainly find something useful.

MckKnew’s Daily Letter. 2/Twas No Surprise to ourselves and the knowing ones to see our Cloak Parlors Crowded —all day today. It was bot natural. This is the first day you have really felt the need of a wrap, and "twas to be expected that you would come to the only “exclusive” Cloak and Coat bouse in Washington to supply your need. Did you ever see such stylish and beautiful Coats and Capes? Did you ever see such perfect-ftting garments or hear such reasonable prices? We believe not. We judge not by the eager manner in which today’s callers purchased. Count upon our always showing the richest line of Coats apd Capes intro- duced. Our styles are the “originals,” others are but copies. Jaeger Underwear —1s confined to us this season, remem- ber.
