Letters to THE STAR should be so addressed, or to the Editorial or Busi- mess Department, according to their character or purpose, not to any indi- vidual connected with the office. Americans who are interested in the growth of the National Museum and who wee no evidence of effort to add to the riches of that great and popular educational insti- tution some of the many treasures that have been on exhibition at the World's Fair are wondering at the lack of activity among those whose pleasure it should be to make the National Museum not only worthy of its name but the greatest institution of the kind on this or any other continent. It is generally known that the museum has much less money than ft needs, but !t could Probably secure an increased appropriation ‘were the necessities of the concern and the ‘work it is doing properly laid before Con- gress. For two years or more it has been definitely known that there would be a great exposition in this country in 1993 and it was not difficult to figure out that much desir- able museum material would be brought from the ends of the earth by nations and Individuals, but so far as any one outside of the museum management knows there ‘was not even an attempt to have Congress Sppropriate a few thousand dollars with which to pay freight from Chicago to Wash- ington on exhibits which would gladly have Deen donated by their owners, but which have been declined because the small sum meeded for transportation is not available. Never will there be another such opportu- nity to acquire rare collections as is even now afforded, but unless there is instant activity the opportunity will be unimproved because Congress will by adjournment re- move the appropriative power. Next De- ember will be too late. The time is now. ——————— + e-____ Benjamin Franklin, who in his time sald many very wise things, insisted that it was simply foolish for any one to put off till to- morrow that which could be done today. Just how many Washingtonians agree with Benjamin's conclusions is not known, but it is safe to assert that the great majority of liquor dealers who delayed making ap- Plications for licenses until the last day of the old license year wish they had taken time by the forelock and had commenced the lcense getting operation a month or go ago. Yesterday the attorney for the District made plain the fact that all persons who are not today in possession of licenses under the act of March 3, 18%, and who, being without these licenses, sell intox- eating liquors, are subject to arrest and Prosecution. It does not appear how under the law any other conclusion could have been reached, and the dealers who find themselves pinched by the statutory pro- visions will have no one to blame but themselves. It would have been just as easy for them to have deposited the fee and made the application two months ago as it was to make it yesterday, and by this time they are probably convinced that pro- crastination does not pay. It is difficult to see what power the District Commissioners have to ameliorate the condition in which the procrastinators find themselves. The Jaw is mandatory and must be complied with. It is probable that most of the sa- loon keepers who delayed making applica- tion until the last moment were purposely deliberate of action, imagining that some- thing would be saved by keeping the money necessary to pay the fee in their own hands as long as possible. That their reasoning was erroneous is now evident, and it is generally agreed that it would have been better business to have placed the money in the hands of the authorities some weeks ago, even if it was not drawing interest. “Tomorrow is the day when idlers work, and fools reform, and mortal men lay hold of heaven.” —_~+ ++ ____ Veneration is not one of the striking characteristics of this generation of Amer- icans and while old age is tolerated in a generally polite sort of way it is too often regarded as an interference with the rules of the hurrying, bustling, never-calm speci- mens of humanity that are rushing through Ife at an unnecessarily rapid gait, and be- cause of this distressingly inconsiderate speed such occasions as Old Folk’s Day, celebrated In two of Washington’s Metho- dist Churches on Sunday last, should be encouraged and made more general. One of these churches sent out invitations to all elderly Methodists in the District of Collum- Dia to attend the services planned for the men and women of riper years, and received such as came, whether of the Methodist Episcopal or other denominations, with gratifying warmth. Hymns and sermons and the services throughout were in accord with ideas no longer young and in every ‘way was honor done those for whose pleas- ure the day was instituted. The example is @ good one and teaches a lesson. There is Fo intentional disrespect shown old age in this day, but the tendency is toward the Permanent shelving of those whose expe- Tience and judgment are really too valuable to be regarded lightly and whose services to civilization have made possible many of the opportunities in which the young men of today rejoice. The Old Folk’s Day idea is @ good one. —»+2)s____. Senator Blackburn is to be congratulated on his conversion. No one cares to make searching inquiry as to the causes which brought about the softening of the once hard Kentucky heart, and no one worth noticing will ever refer to the past if the Senator only does his level best to bring about the reform indicated in the resolution introduced by him yesterday. That the reles of the Senate governing debate need revision is evident to every sensible being who knows anything of congressional pro- cedure, and it should be cause for national gratification that the chairman of the Sen- ate committee on rules has had his commit- tee Instructed “to inquire and report to the Seraté what revision of or amendment to the rules, if any, should be adopted to se- cure a more efficient and satisfactory dis- Position of the business of the Senate,” Our form of government holds the majority accountable for all legislative action. The Senate rules need amending so as to prevent usurpation of majority privileges by a minority, and the amendment cannot come too soon. ————+ee___ There does not seem to be much for Sen- Stor Teller tS do just at present, except to sit around and wear out his winter clothes. ———_+ += The World’s Columbian Exposition has teased to exist. Never since that first ex- bosition for which the once famous Crystal Palace was planned and constructed has | there been such an exemplification of the freatness of human power, such testimony to the expansion of human intellect. Other fations have prided themselves on their mgenuity and industry in connection with world’s fairs held within their borders, but aone have approached the wonder which | the landscape o'er. They nearly dislocated | furing the past six months has been the Admiration of all mankind who have deen ‘privileged to behold it. But magnifi- tent as were the exhibits—better the na- tions cannot now produce—the great fea- ture of the Columbian exposition was the architecture of the buildings in which so fnuch that was truly extraordinary was Misplayed. Unprejudiced foreigners and foreigners who were prejudiced were com- led to admit that nothing like the White City had ever been seen in any land of Whose existence they were aware, and they freely conceded the superiority of which Wwery American has a right to be proud. ledium it has ING STAR: WASHINGTON, D. C, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1893—TWELVE PAGES, | cour hundredth anniversary of this coun- try’s discovery by Columbus there were those among public men who persistently fought the proposition to invest public funds In any such enterprise. Their stubby- fingered intellects could not grasp the idea, their short-sighted mental vision saw no Profit in the transaction. Many of them have since admitted their error, and would, | if possible, wipe out the antagonistic record | they made, for it is evident that of all the civilizing influences operating on this con- | tinent none can compare with those set in motion by the exposition held in Chicago. And while much of the credit must be given to the nation in its entirety, and to those states and territories of the republic whose co-operation was as hearty as it was essen- tial, the great meed of praise must be given | the city of Chicago. When Congress was | considering where it should locate the fair | this city expressed its more than willing- | mess to take upon its shoulders a great financial burden and the responsibility for such an immense undertaking as that | which has just reached so successful a con- | clusion. The Star still believes that the | only place for a great national exposition is the national capital, and it is satisfied | that very much of the friction which at times threatened the success of the under- taking at Chicago would have been ob- viated had the great show been in the Dis- trict of Columbia, for here the general gov- ernment would properly have had absolute control. But Congress in its wisdom, or in that which Congress is pleased to term wis- dom, decided that the exposition should be held tn Chicago, and there, in spite of many interfering circumstances, the best products of nineteenth century brain and muscle were splendidly displayed. Chicago is a wonderful city. In its brief existence it has touched the extremes of prosperity and adversity. Burned to the ground, it was rebuilt on a grander scale and after a su- perior fashion, and today, while it is not by any means the most beautiful city in the western hemisphere, it is recognized the world over as the most thoroughly representative cerfter of American popula- tion. All honor to Chicago. Se Warburton Pike, an Englishman and an explorer, has just returned to civilization after a lengthy sojourn in Central Alaska which, by the way, is more of an unknown land than was Central Africa prior to the advent of Stanley on the dark continent. Mr. Pike ts satisfied that except as a game preserve the interior of Alaska is worthless, and at present anything like a dispute over that allegation is not possible because there is no one who can argue with Mr. Pike, but it will be well to remember that English opinion as to a country’s value is not al- ways reliable. Great Britain might still have possessed much of the northwestern terri- tory now belonging to the United States— the states of Washington, Idaho and Mon- tana—had not the brother of the then pre- mier of England been traveling in the dis- puted region. He was a sportsman, and because the salmon in the Columbia river would not rise to a fly he said that the coun- try was not worth quarreling over. His testimony was accepted, but in view of later developments seems to be rather ridiculous. ——_ + -___ It is said that Mr. J. R. Roosevelt, just appointed the secretary of the embassy at London, realized that a campaign could not be carried on without money, to the extent of $10,000. Mr. Roosevelt is still a young man and is doubtless inspired with the feeling that by frugality and thrift he may be able to afford a $50,000 place quite like Mr. Van Alen’s. —_——_+ + —__-- — There are prophecies to the effect that that part of the ticket on which Mr. May- nard’s name appears will very much re- semble spring poetry after it has left the hands of the editor. ——__+ « + ___ Mr. Roosevelt will probably be obliged to leave this country without definitely ascer- taining who it was that first adorned his name with ditto marks. + +e The proposition to publish a diplomatic price list in the back of the congressional directory has not yet been seriously dis- cussed. ——0»>—____ No doubt the purchases made by Mr. Van Alen and Mr. Roosevelt are warranted to wear through at least one administration. —__ - + ee —__ New York lawyers still insist on strewing tacks on that particular portion of the ju- dicial bench that concerns Mr. Maynard. ——__+ e+ —_ It would be needlessly unkind to refer to the filibuster as having been completely gollyswashed. —_—__+ e+ ____ Attorney General Olney has paused long enough to smash a resignation rumor. SHOOTING STARS. “I guess I'll quit,” said the boy who was scraping a perch at a market fishstand. “T'm tired of doing business on such a small scale.” Prudent. “I would not live alway,” he sang The notes he loved to frame; But he wore a chest-protector and His gum shoes, just the same.

However onfriendly an’ oncharitable yer feelin’ toward a feller bein’ may be, it’s ongenerous an’ cruel ter remind him of his misfortunes!” A Source of Embarrassment. “Dese newfangled clothes dat de young gents is wearin’ makes me tired,” said the young man who prides himself on creating an impression that he {s looking for trou- ble. “Whut's de matter wit ’em?” “Dey make one man look jes like anudder.

Not unless he gets melancholy and commits suicide.” Life's Vanities. | “Everything in this life,” said the philo- | sophic bill collector, who was getting ready for his day’s journey, “requires patience.” “That's right,” replied the bookkeeper. | “For instance, it takes a man a good while to be able to write his own name to a check that amounts to much.” “Yes; and when he fs able to do it, he doesn’t seem to enjoy it a bit.” Proof of Mental Capacity. “There's wan t’in: said Mr. Dolan, re- | flectively, as he glanced at a laundry sign, | “thot Ol must rishpect the Choinase fur.” “Phwat's that?” asked his companion. | “Fur learnin’ to spake their own | language.” ——— 20s —__ A Note of Defiance, From the Chicago Herald. Several hundred wise men of Gotham |came out here last Saturday and viewed | their necks gazing up at the sky scrapers | and they held on with both hands while | they whizzed through the tunnels on cars érawn by Mr. Yerkes’ justly celebrated cables. They took a journey—a day’s ride— |from Lake View to the southern city lim- its, and they got tired before they made the trip from the lake to the western boun- dary line. What they saw scared them, and they no sooner got home than they passed the word along that Brooklyn must be annexed if New York would be spared the disgrace of becoming the second city in the Union—Chicago being the first. This is flattering to Chicago and the annexation movement gives us no concern. Within five years the population of this city will be greater than that of New York and Brook- lyn combined. And if the worst comes to When it was first proposed to celebrate the | the worst we will annex Milwaukee.

The writer gives the following list after a Week's investigation, and has good reasons for claiming its accuracy: Ladies’ London Style Jackets.
