THE EVENING STAR, y ASHINGTON. October 15, 1894. THE EVENING STAR has a regain permanent circulation much more the combined circulation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium has no competitor. t7 In order to aveid delays, on ac- not be addressed te TAK should any individual fice, but simply te the Editorial or Bast according ¢ punected with the of. u STAR, or 5 Deparimenis, pF purpose. g contribution to the > now engaged in tr: ble reduction t which is printed in | employing bakers of s like mate- A there- | impossible. ontention by The An interest of those bring about of the | The rial red: fore the ret The selfish ail emptiness has becn shown most conclusive Star; there is ample evidence on hand to prove that bread of as good quality as the best sold in this city is to be had elsewhere price of bre of that in this country at rates more nearly in harmony with the present price of flour than are the rates known to local consum- ers. munication to which refer- ence has been made calls attention to the remarkable di‘ference between the prices ‘n this city and those current in the Scotch town of Dundee—the bread in both instances being made of American flour. In Dund where, as Mr. Floyd states, th ers ha high repute—household loaves—very much better than the loaf here retailed for 4 cents—weich four pounds each and are sold to the consumer for 8 cents; which, of | course, is at the rate of 2 cents per pound. Vienna loaves, quite equal to the best Washington product, are sold at the rate of 31-2 cents per pound, while an extra fine quality of tea loaf, weighing four pounds and containing every element neces: to the manufacture of bread that « t be surpassed, is sold for 11 cents; ich is at the rate of 3-4 cents per pound. Dundee. bakers certainly pay as much for their ‘flour as Washington bakers do; they pay their journeymen from $8 to $14 p-r week—close on the heels of Washington wi From these facts it is evident that the employing bread-makers | of this city are charging just twice as much for their best product as are the bakers of Dundee for the same variety of goods. | The Dund baker, being of course al Scotchman, is not in the baking business | solely for his health.

The national capita! is entirely dependent upon the general government fo- legislation and cannot even spend one dollar of the meney collected from tax-paying citizens without the consent of the legisla- tive and executive branches of national con- nt, Ment posses trol. The situation is unique. The needs are real and pressing. oe There ts a gratifying absence of proba- bility that anybedy will institute cipher re- search to prove that Oliver Wendell Holmes did not write his own poem: zee As a general rule, mankind may fairly be regarded as a gregarious creature—given to ation and agitation whenever dis- with surrounding conditions, Es- Pecially is this true of the American man, who Is a strange but n very admirable combir ation of severa d conditions of men, and who ot im a minority of cares can truly boast of ancestry that Is devoid of international complications. Of all the many associations in which Amer- lean men and women have Joined hands to Accomplish something, none perhaps has had less excuse for existence than that which on the twelfth day of September last came into existence under the name and style of The Aryan Scciety. It seems to have been born in this city, but in spite of that fact it still lacks some of those qual- ities necessary to a good reputation. A circular just issued, and signed by J. M. Brooks for the president of the organiza- tion, is now being circulated; the one sent to The Star having endorsed upon its fly leaf a request for an opinion on the docu- ment and. presumably, the society that Presents {t. Prefaratorily stating that the society is and will be composed of Aryans exclusively. as contradistinguished from the Negro, the Semite, the Mongolian and their derivative races, the circular goes on to say that the society is formed for the ac- complishment of the following purposes: First.

The Detective. “I do not know,” said tae puzzled detec- tive, “whether the train that was robbed had Pullman cars on it or not.” Earlap Showman, the prince of detectives, pondered. After playing a tune on the vio- lin, assuming seven disguises in rapid suc- cession and taking several hypodermic doses of morphine he said: “There were such cars. The robbers went ight for the express car. The passen- ts did not interest m. There must have been a Puliman pc on board.” soe Philadelphia Wants Feaders, From the Philadelphia Press. Is it not time that something were done to stop this deadly work of the trolley? Fenders have proved beneficial in otner cities and why not try them here? It does pot appear that anything is being done now. It is certain that something ought to be done. The trolley ts not to blame for the loss of life in every case. But peo- ple tn a crowded city will always be more or less careless, and it is the highest duty Of the city to protect the lives ef these persons in every way possible.
