As a News and Advertising Medium it has mo competitor. “gz Letters to THE STAR should be so Bddrensed, or to the Editorial or Busi-’ mess Department, according to their wharacter or purpone, not to any indi- idual connected with the office. SSS If there is today an United States Senator who is not ashamed of the {ll-behavior so poldly displayed on the floor of the Senate yesterday, he is a lonely being, for with- put that once-respected body there is practi- eal unanimity of condemnation. Since the day when Daniel Webster “Voorhees pub- Meally found out that he didn’t know John James Ingalls was loaded, there has been mo such language used tn the Senate as was current there yesterday. Men who have been credited with the possession of Uignified common-sense railed at each other after the fashion of pot-house braggarts and gave utterance to personalities that were astonishing beyond description. When the limit will be reached cannot now be even guessed at, but no one will be shocked should there be resort to argument of the muscular and wrathful variety. Moral sua- sion has no place in the senatorial debate of today; it has been driven out by ruder methods of arriving at a conclusion. In thnes past Senators who held opposing views reasoned with one another and were @ither silenced by logic or by the vote of the majority, but as we approach nearer to the highest form of civilization our Sena- tors reveal more and more of the savage which is so near the polished and often iransparent surface. The physical test has supplanted mental agility, and it is not, Mherefore, surprising that Senators should geek to settle individual differences after the fashion which has been set by the powers that nominally control. Yesterday there was threaten!ng such as long ago pre- @eded an appeal to “the code,” and there was also intimation that any such appeal would even now receive fayorable consid- sration. Greater nonserse, less-excusable ratory, have never been within the Senate shamber. The Senate's inability to do the business for which it was elected and is paid bas disgusted the great mass of American citizens; the display of childish M-temper and continued incapacity for the simplest kinds of statesmanship may easily fause such a crystallization of sentiment as will result in reconstructing the now thor- oughly unpopular branch of the national Jegisiature. ——_+++— Congress having failed to do anythiag to- @ard securing and preserving the house in which Abraham Lincoin died—a relic in which every American is interested—the Memorial Association of the District cf Columbia has taken the matter up and now controls both the building and the collec- tion of articles once owned by or associated with him who ended his days as “the Mar- tyr President.” This is but the first move- ment. There are many historic structures im this city and these, unless either Con- gress or the association interferes, must seer: decay or be replaced by modern dvwell- ings. Some of these places should be saved and if public interest can once be arodsed they will be. The association has a great task to perform and it should receive, as it deserves, the hearty encouragement of every one whose patriotism is untainted by self interest and who would see this ‘Washington of ours more beautiful and More interesting than any other city on earth. The Lincoln house and the Lincoin relics ought not, however, to be the prop- erty of an individual or an association, but of the nation. Congress ought speedily to provide for the purchase of this property, preserving with patriotic care remembran- ces of the great President, and honoring his name and'memory. —_ +42 __. In the debate which yesterday awakened the Senate and interested the nation there were two figures that towered abeyaeil others—John Sherman and Dag Hill. The eminence of Senna Feud is by no means uncommon, but that of Senator Hill was a gratifying surprise to many people who have been hoping that their first impressions of the ex-governor were considerably at fault With a single stride he was in the center of the fight and it is in evidence that he declined to retreat an inch. He did battle successfully with a warrior before whom many ha’ gone down and established himself as a forceful and brilliant debater. His judg- ment Was as sound as his sarcasm was cut- ‘ing and carried him unhesitatingly to the Tight side of the strife. He will surely be applauded by the millions who are weary of the delays caused by the worship of that legislative idol which is labeled “senatorial courtesy.” Senator Hill has frequently been accused of being a politician and he would probably plead guilty to such. a charge, but he ascended the pedestal of statesmanship yesterday and unless there is immediate change of heart among his Senatorial associates he is not Ukely soon to be crowded off. —__+++___ On the thirty-first day of this month the World's Columbian Exposition will be closed, and when lis many gates are shut those people who have not been inside will ave missed seeing the greatest fair this arth has ever known. There are in the District of Columbia thousands of men and ‘women who are abundantly abie to afford a trip to Chicago, but who have decided that ‘they are just as well off at home. The con- ¢lusion is totally wrong. It will surely be many years before there is another. such aggregation of art and industry as now makes Jackson Park a great center of inter- ‘st and those who simply decline to feast their intellects will surely regret their Jack of enthusiasm. The fair is the great- st of American accomplishments and it should be seen by every American man and woman who can possibly spare the time and the money to journey thither. —___+ += ___ Lord Dunraven has departed for England, isappointed, but smiling. He is an admir- able specimen of the highest-class of «ports- men, and deserves all the encomium that Bas been heaped upon him. At nis own ex- Dense the Valkyrie was built, fitted and sail- ed, and to him do we owe the races that re- sulted in so much of national gratification. He will be welcomed whenever he ceturns to the United States, for he can lose with an easy grace that refuses to be rufiled by any form of annoyance. He is one of the few men who have not been spoiled by a uue. ———_ + +s —__ It ts a great relief to many people who are interested in the career of Mr. Hill to observe that he is not vnqualifiedly wedded te the “goober” school of politics. +02 Did anybody mention “Senatorial Cour- tesy"? ————— Military men, who are acquainted with the facts in the case, are very much interested im the decision recently promulgated by the Attorney General as to the granting of leave with pay to t in rks and are ordered out for ‘h year to complete the rifle Practice necessary soldiers. The conclusion reached by the government's principal law officer Is adverse to the payment of the small sum involved. | ‘The general order e Practice was done specified that “the troops ef the National Guard will parade for rifle Practice,” &c. the Attorn ¢lares—from a technical and standpoint—that to “the terms ‘drill,’ ‘pa- Fade,” ‘inspection’ and * and separate meanings attach and that heid to embrace the serv- led by elther of the ot! terms.” There is not an officer in any army October 18, 1893. | 1. many ‘ational Guardsmen who are } to the training of all| by the Attorney General. Troops may be and daily are “paraded” for “inspection and muster,” for “the publication of orders” and other duties pertaining to the ac- quisition of soldierly knowledge, as the rec- ords of any post will show. The decision is calculated to surprise, even although it is in accord with a ruling of the Assistant Sec- retary of War. It declares that department employes who are members of the National Guard shall not lose time when they march up and down Pennsylvania avenue after the fashion of the old-time and useless militia, ‘but shall be docked when they seek to per- fect themseives as soldiers of the practical sort. Surely the decision ts as much out of accord with the spirit of the law as it is in conflict with military nomenclature and oft- recurring precedent. ——__+ +2 A complete roster of those who atteaded the world’s fair on Chicago Day may be found in Frank Lawler’s petition for ap- pointment to the postmastership. wee It would have been impossible for the Senate to make itself more conspicuous, unless it had had its wrangle in executive session, © ——___ + e+ —___ It is being remarked that Senator Hill improves as his personal association with New York politics decreases. It 1s rather disquieting to consider the number of things Emma Goldman can think of to say during a year’s imprisonment. ——_ e+ —____ It ts hoped that Senator Peffer will not Prosecute Mr. Reed for alienating Senator ‘Hill's affections. —_—_—~ +. ____ ‘The bombardment of Rio and the Sena- torial debate have both developed symptoms of being in earnest. —>+o____ Mr. Boyrke Cockran is alleged to be en- Based in the gloomy contemplation of his own political funeral. ——_+e2_____ ‘The question of “senatorial courtesy” was Jong since replaced by a question of com- mon decency. — +e ___ SHOOTING STARS. “Sometimes,” said Uncle Eben, “keepin”| silence is even bettah dan tellin’ de troof. Er man dat keeps tellin’ all de facks he knows is pooty sut'n ter git er reppytation fur bein’ either foolish er malicious.”* Oh, think of the misery winter will bring, When of warmth there's such terrible lack; Oh, pity the woman, sad, sorrowing thing, Who hasn't a sealskin sacque. Only Natural. “Who said I was asleep?” sald the Senate. “There,” said Columbia, “calm yourself. You are like the rest of us—a little cross when you first wake up.” Drawing the Line. “Of course,” said the young man who was interviewing the politician, “you believe that large sums of money can be legitimate- ly used in politics.” “Oh, yes," was the reply; “but I want you to put me distinctly on record as drawing the line at monocles.” ‘The world’s fair season fades away And soon, "tis sad to state, Columbus poems, now so gay, ‘Will be quite out of date. The Scene of Conflict. “This talk,” said the bachelor, “of wo- man's engaging in the- pursuits of man is all nonsense.” “I don’t know,” said his friend, doubt- fully. : “There's no doubt about it. Suppose a war should arise. Women coulin't fight, could they?” “What's the reason they couldn't?" “Why, because they are not naturally con- stituted for warfare.” “Humph! Just come over to’ the bargain counter in our dry goods store some day and you'll change your mind.” SuMficientiy Animated. “Look here,” said the variety performer to the topical song writer, “you have given me that same old idea about a fight at an Irish party.” | “Well,” was the apologetic reply, “you said you wanted something exciting and belligerent, and the Irish party is about the only thing we can use.” “Where's yer ‘riginallty? matter with the U. S. Senate.” ‘What's the Willie and Gertrude. It was night. The weather was bitter cold. “Ob, Willie!” said little Gertrude, “What shall we do? We are so poor that we have no fuel with which to cook a porter-house steak for our dear mamma.” “And it is of no use for us to try to bor- row from the neighbors.” “No. ‘There ts nothing left to borrow.” ‘Where is the cat?" asked little Gertrude. “Here,” replied Willie. “Put ker up on the woodshed and twist her tail.” Willie did so. In a short time the windows of the neigh- borhood opened and boot-jacks showered down. Gertrude gathered them up and said, “There, Willie; put the kitty carefully away; we may need her again when these boot-jacks are burned.” Was not Gertrude a wise little girl to profit so well by what she read in the comie papers? 2 oe Cali senator Hill to the Chatr. From the New York World. Senator Hill appeared to excellent ad- vantage yesterday as a debater. His re- torts to Senator Morgan's gasconade were the sharpest possible, and their effect was heightened by his perfect control of his temper. If Vice President Stevenson will call Senator Hiil to the chair some day when there is a quorum of earnest repealers Present the Gordian knot of red-tape which binds the Senate to inaction can be cut neatly and quickly. ———__++<+_____ Good Advice Anywhere. From the Omaha Bee. The New York Times advises its readers to scratch the judicial ticket if they are dis- satisfied with it, and it insists that judi- clary etections should be as free as possi- bie ‘from partisanship. Good acvice {s good everywhere—in Nebraska as weil a3 in New York. ——_—__+ ++ ____ A Dangerous Experiment. From the Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph. “The gas supply of Washington city 1s to be investigated, I see,” observed the horse editor. “The tnvestigators had better not go fool- ing around the Senate chamber with a lighted match,” replied the snake editor. tee A Consolation From the New York Advertiser. There ought to be some sort of a Conso- lation Cup for Lord Dunraven to take back on his neat little cutter. Why not a pewter mug to celebrate his good nature as a noble loser? ‘ap. ——__ +++ ____ A able Addition. From the Boston Globe. A cricket item says that “Clark snicked for a single.” The base ball reporters who have worn the English language all to tatters trying to find new words for things will probably not be too proud to take a | hint from this. + A Simpler Method. | From the Loulsvilte Courier-Journal. In the turbulent South American republics | when a man wishes to set up a dictatorship must go to war. In the republic of the nited States he simply goes to the Senate and intrenches himseif behind senatorial courtesy. —__ +e —__ A Reasonable Theorys From the Chicago News-Record.

To explain: We merchants who retail Trimmings have to do our buying loug before you think of purchasing. It was the general opinion that Dress Trimmings would be little worn, hence the importers bad few customers.

It ts so easy to make claims—on paper. The establishments where Rot one-tenth the amount of money has been invested can with a few strokes of the pen claim a superior stock—on paper. ‘The Palais Royal’ Wrap Department ts representative of the new store—it is quoted a3 the largest, most complete and best arranged in the capital city. Every garment 1s entirely new; the few garments moral from the avenue were disposed of by ai t and best styles, from the lowest possible price to insure reliability to the most expensive and ex- elusive high-class novelties, The best bargains of the grand aggregation are the highest priced goods—such goods generally bring big profits to the merchants who credit so many of thelr patrons. ‘The Palais Royal asks immediate payment and quotes prices from 10 to 20 per cent 1ess:—Thus we bave one-of-a-kiad Novelty Cloth Jackets and Capes from $25 to $125 each that usually retail from $30 to $150, Seal Plush Jackets with real fur and jet trimmings from $40 to $00 each that are facsimiles of seal skin garments worth up to $250 each.

The Palais Royal ad- Yertising man best serves his, your and his employer's interests in guiding you surely and safely.

They are latest reefer style and are made of cheviot, in black, blue and brown. ‘The Cheviot Reefers offered at $6 have the extra long skirts and are an unusually attractive garment at the price. ‘The English Beaver Jackets with far edge are good value at $12.75. ‘They have the umbrella back, as in more expensive imported jackets. The $15 Kersey Jackets with fur collar and edging will be best ap- preciated after trying on. Some will prefer the plainer Kersey Reefer with umbrella back. Both are extra value at $15. ‘The Jackets par excellence for mourning are the Black English Diagonals at $9.75, $12.75 and $15. The cheapest has the appearance of & made-to-order garment.

The $37 Changeable Velvet Cape with rich fur trimming has not Sts “equal elsewhere in this city at less than $50. ‘The English Beaver Cloth Capes with fur edge, though marked $9.75, will be judged worth $15.
