That the furnishing of a sufficiency of water to the military post across the river will diminish the quantity coming into this city fs a self- evident fact. That Fort Myer should have all the good water it needs is another of | these things that Is beyond question. That Washington should be deprived of the water it needs and pays for in order that | Fort Myer or any other water-lacking point | in Virginia may have enough 1s criminally unreasonable. At this time the city’s water-supply {s barely su , and when hot weather comes the p: will be re-| duced to such an extent that thousands of | residents here will be seriously inconven- lenced and the health of the community threatened. Such a condition demands and shculd receive immediate consideration by Congress. Col. George H. Eliott, the En- gineer officer in charge of the Washington Aqueduct, has written very strongly as to the matter of raising the Great Falls’ dam, and has made it plain that such a work must soon be pressed to a conclusion or a water-camine in the more elevated portions of the city will inevitably result. In his Jast annual report to the Chief of Engineers Col. Elliott said that at that time “the conduit was therefore (in respect of its Giameter) only about three-quarters full at Its head. A similar deficiency now obtains every year during the time of low water at Great Falls, and at such times, the weather being usually hot and dry and the con- sumption and waste In the city greatly in- creased, I have found, ever since I laid the 48-Inch main, that the height of the dam is not sufficient during a considerable por- tion of every year to enable the conduit to Geliver into the distributing reservoir as much water as is now consumed and wasted in the city, and at the same time keep up the head fn the mains to 140 feet above @atum, which is necessary for the supply by gravity of the high northern portions of the city and of Capitol Hill.” It is rea- sonably estimated that for the sum of $102,- 000 the dam can be raised suffictently to insure all the water-supply Washington will need for some few years to come. The amount is small; the necessity for its ex- Penditure great. Not so long ago Congress took the bit in its teeth and ran away on the subject of an aqueduct tunnel which Proved to be utterly useless, but which cost the District of Columbia more than @ million dollars—a tremendous injustice for which there has been neither apology nor reparation. In view of this well-estab- lished fact the national legislature could conscientiously appropriate whatever may be needed to raise the dam at Great Falls acd to give the water a chance to purify itself in a settling reservoir without dis- turbing the District of Columbia by the Tendering of any bills. But such an equita- ble and eminently just action is not looked for. Congress will feel quite virtuous If it appropriates in the regular way; and to this course it is urged by the appeals of all water-using Washingtonians. wee People who have the best interests of this country at heart, as well as people who have not, are listening anxiously for some sound from the Executive Mansion as to the fate of the isnicrage bill. That measure, which is now before the President for his action, deserves only to be swept into the Presidential waste-basket, ‘and there are some reasons for b ‘ieving that the basket does not yawn in vain. Dishonest in its tendencies, based on demagoguery, and forced through both houses of Con- &ress by the votes of those who were more anxious for re-election than for the main- tenance of the national honor, it is un- deserving of serious consideration. From financiers of good repute, who allege them- selves to be in communication with the President, comes information to the effect that President Cleveland will veto the bill, to which announcement the friends of the measure respond by prophesy- img the passage of a free coinage bill. Unless President Cleveland’s char- acteristics are misunderstood such threats will not avail Free coinage of silver is far from desirable, and the effect of any legislation compelling such a thing ‘would be material damage to this country’s fmancial interests, but free coinage of silver, bad as it is, is infinitely preferable to the free coinage of wind—and that is all the Bland seigniorage bill proposes to coin. And the President's veto can kill one kind of free coinage as *ffectually as it ean the other. Speedy publication of the Presidential conclusion would be a good thing, for while the present uncertainty continues Wall street's bulls and bears are making a good deal of money out of Fumors. Democrats who are anxious as to their seats in Congress are urging the President to sign the bill. The business men of the country are crying aloud for an immediate veto. “Choose ye this day,” Mr. President, “whom ye will serve.” +e _____ People who admire local pride will not fail to note that while some of the poli- ticlans of New York tock their vacations in the far western states, Mr. McKane took his in the beautiful highland regions of the Hudson. = It ts unfortunate that Secretary Carlisle | and Mr. Burnham shou!d have Gisagread to| the point of non-communication over the important matter of architectural reform in government buildings, but the quarrel stould | not, and probably wil! not, cause the Sec- retary to lose interest in the Proposition advanced the American Institute of Architects and stpported heartily by a strong public sentiment. With the marvel- ous exhibit tistic construction at the World's Columbian Exposition there came a great awakening as to the unsightly short- €omings of many buildings erected and maintained by the general government. Hundreds of thousands of visitors to Jack- son Park fatled to find language that could properly express their admiration of the buildings in which so many beautiful things were stored; in fact, the principal feature of the Exposition was the architectural dls-| play. Incited to educative activity Ly the tremendous volume of popular appl. the} American Institute of Architects re. a to do all in {ts power to improve the appear- nt buildings, and to the} might be fruitful, asked the assistance of the Secretary of the Treas- | ury and the legisiative approval of Con- gress. The result was a law authorizing the Secretary of the Treasury “in his diseretion to obtain plans, drawings and specifica- tions for the e Nc buildings for the United States, authorized by Congress to be erected ur the supervision and Girection of tt etary of the Treasury and the locai rvision of the erection thereof by c tion among architects, under such conditions as he may preseri and to make p: for the services of the architect plan may be selected | ons for the respective t was approved by the! , 1838, but hi er | ¥ conside he w wera he to be operated, Cousequent upon this declaration ensued a controversy, in which officers and members of the American Institute of Architects averred that the Secretary was bent on antagonizing the fundamental principles of the statute, an accusation which the Secretary more than once dented. The Star finds it very difficult to believe that Secretary Carlisle is engaged in pursuing merely an obstructive policy. The Secretary surely knows how the people of the country feel upon this really impor- tant subject and he cannot but have seen long ago how very inferior was the archi- tecture of public buildings when compared with that of structures erected by corpora- tions and private individuals. There cannot possibly, therefore, be any force in the statements of those who would have it un- derstood that Secretary Carlisle favors con- tinuation of the system which has given to the United States many public buildings that could not with any hope of sucess enter into architectural competition with a first-class barn. Not unnaturally the Sec- retary may feel annoyed at Mr. Burnham's most recent epistles, but he should not per- mit a trifle of pique to obstruct the pathway of duty. The American people have spent and will continue to spend large sums of money for the construction of such edifices as their business has need for. Why should these buildings be so ugly as to cause night- mare? Art may be more expensive than the forbidding commonplace, but it is unques- tionably more valuable. The archaeologist of two thousand years hence, who uncovers and explores one of the average public buildings of today, will give our civilization a low rating unless he is fully aware of the causes — congressional and political — that have combined to give us too many struc- tures of the cheap and nasty variety. Sec- retary Carlisle will doubtless make such representations to the National Legislature as will in the near future result in sufficient amendment of the law which he at present deems defective. To have been the Secre- tary of the Treasury during whose admin- istration purely mechanical government architecture received its death blow would be a glorious record. ————_ +s —___ The Lake Shore and Michigan Southern and the Chicago and Rock Island railroad companies may become popular institutions in Chicago and will be held up as models all over the country !f they continue to in- sist upon immediately elevating their tracks for some five or six miles within the Hmits of the Lake Side City. The companies named propose a plan which combines railway elevation and street de- Pression, the latter never being excessive nor likely to cause the expenditure of large sums of money. The Engineering Record, whose expert editors have been look'ng into the matter, says it does not see how the numerous and vast interests involved im the question of grade crossings can be more satisfactorily treated than in the plans contemplated; the execution of the work will be the first real step toward the successful treatment of thig most diffi- cult question. Washington, too, has heard the sirens sing of tracks elevated on solid masonry viaducts or depressed below the street level, but the songs were never any- thing more than vocal promises, and right there is to be seen the great difference between the local companies and the two corporations in Chicago to which attention is here directed—the Chicago companies are In earnest. —-+s—___ Senator Hill will be remembered by a number of people who have been Politically disappointed as probably the most accom- plished dog-in-the-manger that ever grew outside of Escp’s fables. —_~++__.

S10 for Fashionable, Well-made Dresses, worth from $18 to $30 each. Don’t stop reading. Your doubts and prejudice shall be overcome. Let us first anticipate your prejudice. You object to ready-made dresses because they are usually poorly made, of inferior materials and bear the ready-made trade-mark in other respects. But suppose the dresses to be designed by the leading artists of London and Paris, best materials used, made up by expert tailors. Such are the sample garments offered at the Palais Royal. Exclusive because only one of a style. At less than cost of manufacture because of the maker’s loss. But why should he sell at a lossP Because these garments proved too expen- sive to retail at popular prices and they were therefore rejected for other dresses—those that would realize profit and yet sell at less price. Headquarters for Suits. THE SUITS ABOVE MENTIONED ARE ONLY INCIDENTAL TO THE COMPLETE COLLEC- TION AT THE PALAIS ROYAL......IT IS THE GREAT VARIETY OF STYLES AND SIZES THAT MAKE THE PALAIS ROYAL HEADQUARTERS, AS IT IS THD HANDFUL OF GOODS AT SMALL STORES AND THD MOTLEY GATHERIING AT SOME OTHER LARGER ESTABLISH- MENTS THAT MAKE YOU THINK YOU CAN'T BB FITTED OR IMAGINE ALL READY-MADE SUITS INFERIOR. Real Exclusiveness. ‘The little merchant with the “‘handful’’ of suits may announce no other establishment has any like his, and be perfectly honest and truthful in the announcement. But where he bus a dozen the Palais Royal has a hundred exclusive styles and selling more in a week than he does in a mouth the Palais Royal has greater purchasing power. Thus instead of representing some little manufacturer with a few sewing machines and girls the Palais Royal commands those who can afford designers who receive princely salaries. To illustrate:—B. Altman & Co. control the output of ‘the leading makers of Tailor-made Suits of New York city and the Palais Royal has the sole control in Washington, Thus we have exclusiveness with no delusiveness, and thus the Palais Royal has no real competition in tho little merchant with the handful of suite or phe merchant with large stock promiscuously gathered. That the Palais Royal is headquarters will be patent to any who will take the trouble to investigate.
