NOYES. —— = THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulntion much more than the combined circulation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. -Editor. c>Im order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any individual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. With the direct force that is one of his prominent characteristics President Cleve- land has once more given expression to his financial views. The opportunity for which he has been waiting for some time came to him with ap invitation from many Chicago citizens to be present at a gathering of thoge who are pledged to the preservation of a sound national currency. Of course, the President declined the invitation, but instead of a brief, formal declination he sent the committee a letter that will prob- ably cut some figure as a campaign docu- ment—a strong document, and one that must appeal to every possessor of common sense. President Cleveland evidently real- wes the danger which impendg because of arelessness on the part of believers in solid finance. That is evident when he says: “If the sound money sentiment abroad in the land is to save us from mischief and ster, it must be crystallized and com- 4 and made immediately active. It is dangerous to overlook the fact that a~vast number of our people, with scant opportu- i, thus far to examine the question in all ts aspect: have, nevertheless, been inge- d with specious suggestions ch, in this time of misfortune and ce- pression, find willing listeners, prepared to give credence to any scheme which is plausibly presented aS a remedy for their unfortunate condition.” Within forty-eight hours the presidential argument will be vigorously assailed by the representatives of all manner of financial vagaries; the authors of monetary doctrines that would, if practically applied, wreck this nation as completely as the most vicious of invading enemies could possibly do it; but while those who would contro- vert the President’s statements may make unwarranted use of figures and speciously distort financial logic, they cannot elimi- nate the sensible conclustons which are pre- sented In thie Chicago letter. How do the silver extremists propose to overset these truths: “In these restless days the farmer is tempted by the assurance that though our currency may be debased, redundant and Uncertain, such a situation will mprove the price of his products. Let us remind him that he must buy as well as sell; that his dreams of plenty are shaded by the cer- tainty that if the price of things he has to sell are nominally enhanced, the cost of the things he must buy will not remain sta- tionary; that the better prices which cheap money proclaims are unsubstantial and elu- sive, and that even if they were real and palpabl= he must necessarily be left far be- hind In the race for their enjoyment. “It ought not to be difficult to convince the wage-earner that if there were benefits arising from a degenerated currency they would reach him least of all and last of all. In an unhealthy stimulation of prices an increased cost of all the needs of his home must long be his portion, while he is at the same time vexed with vanishing visions of increased wages and an easier lot. The Pages of history and experience are full of this lesson.” The President declared in his epistle that the need of the hour was a plain and simple presentation of the argument in favor of sound money. His letter has in part done away with that need, for one such argu- ment Is now before the American people. +e A very valuable human privilege is the right of free inquiry into matters that deeply concern us, and this privilege has always been liberally exercised in the United States. It may therefore be as- sumed that there is no impropriety in ask- ing as to the whereabouts of the safety fenders which, according to the order of the District Commissioners, should have been on all mechanically-propelled street cars in the District fifteen days ago. Such inquisitiveness is of the pardonable sort, and is really entitled to a reply. Satisfied, however, that no matter where these fen- ders may be, they are not attached to the cars, The Star would follow the logical con- tinuation of the question and ask where is the regulation which made the use of fen- ders compulsory by April 1. Is it sus- pended or not? Can the Commissioners sus- pend it after it has once become operative? It tt has been suspended, is the suspension temporary or permanent, and when did the Commissioners reach a conclusion that sus- pension was proper? The statute under which the regulation in question was framed and promulgated clothed the Com- loners with certain powers in this mat- , and under that authority the Commis- sioners prescribed certain penalties to be assessed in case the regulation should be violated. To the general public it would appear as though there had been gross violaticn, but up to this time there does not appear to have been any collection of the fines that are certainly several days overdue. Are the penalties to be collected or not? Are we to have fenders or not? The thousands of Washingtonians whose limbs and lives are hourly threatened by rapid-moving and fenderless street cars are waiting with wonderful patience for in- formation to which they are entitled. An official order makes Secretary Tindall the one authorized medium through whom the news may percolate to the public. The peo- ple would like to know what their rulers have done or are doing in connection with the equipment of street cars with fenders. Let Tindall speak! ———_-++___ There were one hundred and two men employed upon the new city post-office building today.

It is, in a sense, a national festival; somewhat altered, it may be, from its original form yet marked with unique -fea- tures and altogether worthy of continu- ance and encouragement. It is the Chil- dren's Day. They flock in great numbers to the grounds, with baskets of eggs on their arms, guarded by parents and nurses, elder brothers and sisters, or adult neigh- bors, eager for a romp on the turf. There was a time when their hearts were glad- dened by the music of a band during the middle of the day, and that made the oc- casion enjoyable to the children of all ages. But now there is a change. President Cleveland, who has never seemed to enjoy the Easter Monday festival held in his back yard, has on several occasions declined to contribute to the entertainment of the little folks by ordering one of the government bands to duty in the grcurds, and so has taken away a great part of the pleasure of the day. This year he has also refused or neglected to attend to this detail, and so the frolic of 1895 is without the strains of music, except such as is furnished by the pertpatetic piano-organ grinders who have been attracted to the spot by the hope of — luring stray pennies into their cups. There are three bands stationed in Washington that are available for this service, though at present one of them fs in the south on a concert tour One of the others, the Fourth Artillery Band stationed at the Washington Barracks, or the Sixth Cavalry Band at Fort Myer, could well have been ordered to perform for the delectation of the little ones of Washington on this glad occasion. There is a suspicion in the minds of many people that the President does not care to encourage this custom, and is thus trying to cause it to fall into an “innocuous desue- tude.” He may be misjudged, and may be merely trying, to prevent the festival of former years from degenerating into a riot. That result, however, is hardly possible. But the President cannot hope to wholly eradicate the custom of Easter-egg rolling. Whatever the conditions, wherever the event may take place, and under what auspices, there will always be this annual outpouring of the children with their gaily- colored eggs, eager for a frolic on the grass. It is one thing to hamper a custom of many years standing, and enother, quite another, to abolish it. In the death of James W. Scott, editor and principal proprietor of the Chicago ‘Times-Herald and of the Chicago Evening Post, which occurred in New York yester- day, a distinct and serious loss has been sustained, not alone by his immediate fam- ily and the city of his adoption, but by a wide circle of devoted friends in every portion of the Union, by the profession of journalism, and the country at large. To a most charming personality were joined in an unusual degree far-seeing and lib- eral enterprise, an energetic public spirit, lcfty conceptions of duty, and broad pa- triotism. These qualities had already made him a power in the country, and would have made him, had his life been spared, a still more conspicuous figure in public affairs. As it is, his useful influence will lcng be felt in many ways, and the world largely the better for the short time he was permitted to live in it. This is no small praise to be said of any man, but it can be truly said cf Mr. Scott. ‘The times are hard with the violators of law in Washington. Some obstacles are even being placed in the path of those who sell iquor without a license. The work of the police yesterday in breaking up several “speak-easies” was a part of the excellent program which has been inaugurated and which-should be persist- ently and tmpartially followed. The un- Ucensed bar encourages secret drunken- ness and debauches, spreads disrespect for the law, and enables liquor dealers to pros- per without paying their just tithe to the revenues of the city. The police are to be encouraged in their work against these dens. A + 0--______ An outlaw tried to hold up a New York policeman and got very much the worst of the transaction.

Sympathy. “Poor Li Hung Chang!” she gently sighed; “His lot was hard, they say. He had to purchase peace, and could Not wait for bargain day.” Similarity. “Don’t you think a good many of these Easter bonnet jokes are over-drawn?” she inquired. “Yes,” replied her .cheerless husband; “and a good many bank accounts.” Weird Possibilities. “I'm glad of one thing, anyhow,” sald the boy, whose father had been talking: about the income tax. “What's that, Hiram?” “I'm glad they didn’t get up the income tax in time to give the man who wrot algebra a chance to put in questions about | it." A Query. Oh, where's the comfort in the times, In country or in town, When the price of meat goes blythely up, And the price of work comeg down? What He Wondered. “I wondah,” said Willie Wishington, “I wondah whethah”’ and there his mind stopped for repose. “You wonder whether what?” asked Miss Cayenne. “Oh, excuse me, Whethah this new-wo- man idea is going to be carried so far that we young men will be expected to get up and leave the room when coffee is served at a dinner.” A Substitute. There was a look of wild dismay on the face of the foreman as he rushed up to the editor’s desk. “What's the matter? Man with a gun looking for me?” inquired the molder of public thought. “No. We've just pi’d the puzzle column. “Oh, never mind that. Just put the in- come tax law and the Supreme Court de- cision in instead, and double the amount of the prize for anybody who guesses the answer.” April Folly. Oh, let us linger, April fools, The world is in its hey-day, ~ And gentle Expectation rules With promise of a May day. A blissful folly’s better far Than wisdom, which but saddens "Twere well to idle where we are, Where every moment gladdens. The sun will sear the meadow cool, Where flowers their sweets are shedding. And parch the limpid wildwood pool, Where tangled shades are spreading. Most fragile ever was the bloom Whose beauty shone the rarest, And swift is disappointment’s doom, For joys which seem the fairest. Too well we know the blight will fall. The tender guests we cherish Would leave, had we not known them all No heart-pain when they perish. Yet, April fcols pray let us be, And grasp the fleeting gay day, Nor whisper that futurity Will e’er be aught but May day. —_~ + =>__ No Star Chamber Business. From the Hatchet. The action of the Board of District Com- missioners in ordering the proceedings to be kept from the public only increases the determination of the public to work a change in the system of government that permits such thir.gs. These three gentle- men who arrogate to themselves the power to inaugurate a star-chamber administra- tion of District officers, seem to have lost sight of the fact that they are the servants and not the bosses of the people. Their appointment comes, too, from the hands of the servant and not from the po- litical boss of the people, and in that light and ‘for that reason, much less do they have any excuse for keeping their proceed- ings away from the public eye. There is nothing under heaven in the line of duty to be perfermed by the trio of District officers which requires any sort of privacy, and every act performed by them with closed doors only serves to excite suspicion that they are doing something that the public interest does not demand. Come out beldly and openly and show your hands, gentlemen, lest the people think you are doing something you are ashamed of. R. Nathanson’s eMre, Smoke, Water Sale Continued. RIDAY evening we announced to the public that our loss by fire had been adjusted—we worked all t to get ready for the sale Saturday—and Saturday morning the doors were thrown open to the crowd which had gathered long before the time of opening. From that moment until midnight the store was packed to its utmost capacity with buyers. ‘Twice during the forenoon we had to close the doors against the crowd without to al- low us time to walt on those within— and that, too, with fifty extra clerks employed. Whole lots were closed out before 12 o'clock noon. The sale will be continued until all the water-sonked, burned, scorched and damaged goods are sold out. The coun- ters have been refilled with other dam- aged goods, for which we had no room Saturday or today, and marked at greatly reduced prices to close out at once. Great mouey-saving opportunities for those who will hurry. ‘The doors had to be closed again this morning against tremendous crowds of buyers. We're trying to get the stock to rights after Saturday's great on- slaught, and will employ more clerks to wait on you tomorrow. Not time to give you a fst of the bargains.
