8 THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. THURSDAY.....,....November 1, 1594. CROSBY 8. NOYES. Editor. — = HE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation much more than the combined circulation of ington dailies. As a @ Advertising Medium it letters count personal THE STAR should any individ: connected with the of: 4 simply to THE STAR, or Bu: am Departments, pornae~r te tenor oF purpose. = = = Notice—Reduction itn Price. Arrangements have been made with the carriers serving those districts whereby regular subscribers residing north of the city Hmits, tncluding Brightwood, and also Anacostia, will hereafter be furnished with The Evening Star at the same price paid by subscribers within the city proper, viz: Ten cents a week, or forty-four cents a month. Subscribers should see that bills are rendered accordingly, and pay no more than the prices above named. see Since The Star announced that Captain Derby, assistant to the Engineer Commis- sioner, had been relieved of his duties here and ordered to New Orleans, many rumors have been put into circulation as to the causes by which the change was brought * about. It has been whispered around in the vicinity of the District Building that a combine of semi-muntcipal corporations— annoyed at the honest persistency with which Captain Derby compelled contractors to live up to their obligations—had set in motion the machinery which operated finally to the removal of the consclentious officer. That Captain Derby is not beloved by the contractors over whose work he has had supervision is well known, and {t Is also certain that those who are compelled by him to do their whole duty by the city were as one against him; but it is not true that tie opposition had anything to do with the transfer of the captain from this city. Now that the order has been issued requir- ing Captain Derby to move to a place where the duties are quite as onerous and the responsibility much greater, it may suit the purposes of some men to have it understood that they pulled the string or tightened tte wire, but the nods and the winks and the shrugging of shoulders will not deceive sensible and well informed persons. Upon such authority as General Casey's it may be stated without fear of contradiction that Captain Derby’s transfer was in the nature of a compliment to that efficient officer. It will be a dark day for the District of Columbia when disgruntled contractors can so influence the War Department as to bring about the removal of engineer olficers whose sole alm is to conserve the best interests of the taxpayers. Never in the history of the local government has there been more of honest and sensible adnuiris- tration in the engineer department than has been given us by Commissioner Powell and Captain Derby, and it is entirely to their credit that they have achieved unpop- ularity with those corporations and indi- viduals with whom the people, through the duly appointed authorities, have business connections. —_+ + >—___—_- The Star is in receipt of requests from newspapers in other cities for compete files of The Star published during the cam- paign which was made in behalf of a re- duction in the price of bread. In a score of the larger centers of population there has been sudden awakening to the fact that while flour is cheap, bread remains at the same figures as were proper four or five years ago. Not unnaturally there Is popular objection to the evident unfairness which prevents the consumer from secur- ing any of the benefits resultant upon the steady and considerable decline in the mar- ket value of wheat and wheat products. Everywhere the wholesale bakers attempt to defend themselves with statements quite similar to those made by the bakers in this “city. It is werthy of note, too, that in nearly all, if not quite all, of the cities in which agitation for a reduction of one cent per pound is being urged the wholesale bakers have an organization of their own— @ veritable bread trust. Complaint is being made by the employing bakers here and elsewhere that their sales have diminished in spite of the fact that the best quality of machine-made bread is being retailed at 4 cents per loaf. For this decrease the bakers themselves are responsible. When the first effort was made to bring abvut an equitable reduction the bakers refused to give the proposition any consideration whatever. Controversy ensued in which the fact was developed that it was much cheaper to bake bread at home than to purchase the ready-made article, and as a result a good many of those people who of late have been compelled to count their pennies started ouc to make the bread they had earned. Had the Bakers’ Association dis- played any disposition at the outset to do the fair thing by their ultimate customers there would have been no joint debate and consequently no increase in the quantity of home-made bread. —+ e+ —_____ There were about eighty men employed upon the city post-ottice building today. Precise figures are not available just yet, but a total of eighty will be quite just to the authorities in charge. Eighty tireless men might, according to The Star’s Iberal estimate, complete the structure by April 23, 1896—a manifest impossibility. As time moves on and the excessive munificence of ‘The Star’s early calculation becomes more and more apparent it is seen that the prob- able date of conclusion is in the vicinity of August 17, 1906 It is two years, eight months and twelve days since the work was begun. —— + > ___ The police investigation tn New York ap- Pears to be ambitious to supply the de- fictency Im excitement which occurs during the absence of Congress. oe “The sport of kings,” as horse-racing has been slangily termed, has degenerated until rock-bottom has been struck. There was a time when horse-racing had for its object the improvement of horseflesh and when the competitive efforts were witnessed by thou- sands whfo found genuine pleasure in the speed of the animals and the skill displayed by their riders, That day, however, seems to have depart and now it Is urged that without bookmaking racing would be im- Dossible. Testimony to that effect ts locally le, for it is said that there may be a on of racing on at least orfe of the Virginia tracks adjacent to Washington so as to afford a majority of the bookmakers opportunity to go home to vote. Most of the “sports” are residents of New York city nd much the larger percentage of the crowd believes in Tammany; to secure the ballots of such considerable pressure is be- ing exerted. Just why it should be insisted that bookmaking and horse-racing are de- pendent one upon the other {s a good deal of an enigma. Boat-racing, football, baseball, Fifie-shooting and all manner of minor ath- letic sports continue to be and are popular without leaning for support upon profes- Sonal gamblers and their victims, and horse- THE EVENING STAR, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1894-TWELVE PAGES. racing can be lifted to the same high plane Without doing violence to the feelings of anybody whose feelings are worthy of much consideration. The profits of the jockey clubs would, of course, be cut down, and there would have to be considerable diminution in the size of the purses offered, and those changes would, broadly, be beneficial. If betting were only indulged in by men of ample means, unable to find any more sen- sible use for their money, the general pub- le would have but little to complain of, but when the fact appears that gambling on horse-races works incalculable injury to countless thousands and 1s an ever-flowing source of crime, then there is good and suf- ficient reason for all the. protests that are being and are likely to be made. A census of those persons who during the last five years have stolen from their employers and associates in vain endeavors to make up unlooked-for losses on the turf would startle even the most hardened of bookmakers and would surely stimulate missionary efforts in behalf of prohibitory legislation. It is a strange mental organization that condemns the lottery and commends the horse-racing of today. —___+++—__—_. Mrs. Jefferson Davis is being depicted as extremely indignant over the report that her daughter, Miss Winnie Davis, would wote the republican ticket in Colorado next week. In a letter of denial Mrs. Davis says: “It is false in every particular. — Miss Davis is not in favor of woman suffrage. She thinks it would be a misfortune to our sex if it were conferred and a right which it would seldom be in their power to exer- cise, at least in the cities. The idea of her saying she would vote the republican ticket is too monstrous for it to impress the ma- jority of our people as the truth, yet we are mortified that the allegation should have ever been made.” It is quite proper for Mrs. Davis to feel annoyed at such statements if they are un- true, and she would doubtless be much more annoyed were they well founded, but there would be nothing particularly horrifying in the situation should Miss Davis not only elect to vote but decide also to vote the re- publican ticket. Woman suffrage may be regarded by the mother as abhorrent and yet be smiled upon by the daughter, while a desire to oust such people as Governor Waite from office might even drive Miss Davis to what her mother would regard as the extreme of voting a ticket on which was inscribed the names of republican can- didates. There is nothing “monstrous” in stch a possibility. —__-__+ ++ —__.

Bound to Be Miserable. “It's a great thing,” exclaimed the phil- anthropist, “‘a great thing. “What's a great thing?” asked the man who always kicks. “This reduction of the price of bread.” “Yes,” was the discontented rejoinder; “that’s what I've heard a dozen men say. They don’t realize that it's going to make the bread in a ham sandwich more out of proportion than ever. An Adage Applied. Good things are presented in packages small; ’Tis a maxim so old that It's flat. But the matinee girl doesn’t notice at all How it touches the theater hat. “De trouble "bout refoh’m,” said Uncle Eben, “am dat a man gin'rally stah’ts out ter tackle de universe, an’ wuh’k roun’ by degrees ter "Is pus’nal short-comin’s.”” A Forcible Reminder. “Has your mind ever been directed to thoughts of eternity?” asked the serious man. “It has,” was the reply. “I've watched the process of constructing a government building.” A Comforting Assurance. “D'ye know,” said Plodding Pete, “I’m gittin’ oneasy about myself.

It is hard to say which is the more pre- posterous, the farce of a review of the de- cision of Judge Lacombe by a “commission” of poor, hungry government employes on Ellis Island, or the great constitutional and legal argument between Secretary Carlisle and Supt. Stump over the same case, in which the Secretary finally caused the su- perintendent to “cave in.” The whole affair is Gilbertian in its humorous aspects. —- +0 Held Without Warrant. From the New York Herald. The course which Secretary Carlisle has seen fit to pursue in the case of Howard, the English coachman brought to this coun- try by ex-Vice President Morton, is as inde- fensible as it is extraordinary. Why so much official zeal and determina- tion to deport this man should be shown is incomprehensible unless petty politics is at the bottom of it. Women and the Ballot. From the Atchison Globe. Suppose the women do get the right to vote, won't they stop exercising it in a few months?

HE American end of the SILK market is in a turmoil, Usual con- ditions are reversed. The wide- awake buyer—cash in band—can work won- ders. We have stood patient sentry over the inlets for the foreign shipments—and many a choice bargain is a monument to our credit and your profit. It 1s better SILK—richer im effect than it as been for many a long day—but in- ternal conditions bave served to make can- celed orders many. When a remarkably g00d opportunity presents itself we buy It. A trio reward this past week's watch- fulness. It is a big thing to get such SILK on the counters at such prices as we have marked them. Now is the time for you to buy. 20-inch FANCY TAFFETA—stripes, checks and travers, for waists and linings—in @ number of color effects and three designs— O5¢. a yd. 20-tnch BLACK ALI-SILK TAFFETAS— ten of them iu all.
