THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. THURSDAY. .......September 19, 1805. CROSBY S. NOYES. Editor. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent Family Circulation much more than the combined cir- eulation of the other Wushingte! €ailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. Im order to avoid delays, om ac eount of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to y individual connected with the oliice, Lut simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. = Patronize Washington Merchants. Years ago it used to be the fashion for Washingtonians to purchase vast quanti- ties of clothing and other material essential to cfvillzed comfort in New York and Phil- adelphia and Baltimore, but that was dur- ing the existence of an era when Washing- ten was deficient in such stores as were common enough in the three other cities ramed. Now the national capital has as large a percentage of first-class mercantile establishments as can be found in the coun- try, and those establishments have on ex- hibition and for sale as great a variety of products as could be desired by even the most critical of purchasers. A communica- tion printed elsewhere tn The Star calls attention to the fact that the contract for High School Caset uniforms was last year awarded to a Baltimore firm. For this award there was, of course, some reason which was deemed satisfactory by the High School authorities, but the reason must needs be possessed of considerable strength before it can be successfully used to convince local dealers in clothing that the advantages offered by the Baltimore firm were sufficient to outweigh the un- questioned fact that our High Schools are purely local institutions, and as such should contribute atl they possibly can toward the well-being of those Washingtonians who are semi-annually mulcted in taxes in order that the schools may continue in operation. Of course the protective idea may be over- done, but of that there does not appear to be any danger in Washington, for a con- S‘derable proportion of the population has ties the. other ends of which are far beyond the Ifmits of the District of Columbia. The matter of dur High School uniforms always comes up at the beginning of each school year, and it Is to be hoped and expected that local firms will have every opportunity to compete on even terms with firms which are not local. And should there be ex- tremely close competition between a Wash- ington house and an outside clothier, the Lenefit of whatever doubt may exist should Le given to the local bidder. Reference is also mage in the communication in ques- tien to the facc that one of Washing- ton’s crack military companies is preparing to supply itself with new, distinctive uni- forms, aud, in order that the end sought may be achieved, contemplates appealing te the public through the medium of a fair. To this fair Washingtonians will be the Frincipal, if not the only, contributors, so ft is merely equitable to urge that the money which directly and indirectly comes frcm Washington shall be spent in Wash- ington. — 2 __ Italians Will Rejotee. ‘The Italians throughout this country, and especially in Washington, will celebrate to- morrow, with much pomp and ceremony, the twenty-fifth anniversary of the unifica- tion of the Italian states. There will be ™musie and marching and speeches and feasting, and every heart will beat with affection for the sunny clime across the seas. Probably the political significance of the events that are celebrated will not be understood in their entirety by ten in a hundred of the glad throngs who will join in the parade and cheer its progress. But they will be enthusiastic and happy be- cause the theme of the day will be Italy, and Italy will always be-home to them. It is that never-dying human love of home that causes every foreigner in every clime to eagerly embrace every opportunity that offers to honor his native land. And it dees not affect his loyalty or love for his adopted country. The celebration of the anniversary of a United Germany or a United Italy merely serves to warm the cockles of the hearts that draw their blood from either fatherland, and they return from reminiscences of the days spent in those far-off old homes with renewed spirit te enjoy the biessings of their near-by new |} enes and with renewed determination to Protect and defend the institutions that distribute them so plenteously. —____+++____ The Atlanta exposition marks a new epoch in the relations between the sec- tions, wherein their commercial interesis will become more closely and intimately combined and made more Iveratively inter- dependent upon each other: Coming as it does at a time when the moral sentiment of the north and south Is being blended into common pride of American heritage and common lovs of American manhood, the further tightening of the new ties ghould meet with the hearty help of every- one who feels the patriot’s thrill at the sight of the stars and stripes floating over @ nation wholly reunited. —_+ eo ___ Ohic hay been pledged to erect a statue ef Gen. Boynton on the ground where, at the battle of Chickamauga, that gallant soldier won his well-earned medal of honor. If Ohio provides that monument—and there is every reason for believing that it will— Chilo will do itself honor. ——_+ ++ ___ The man who threw his straw hat aside three or four days ago hunted it up yes- terday and is wearing it in spite of the hastily published dictum that the “gun” bad been fired. ———_+ e+ ____ The removal of the trolley-poles from the Eckington line gives a few honest and de- serving old horses assurance that they are not to be subjected to the perils of winter racing. ———_++e___ The Command of the Army. For several months past there have been Tumors—of which fugacity seems to have been the principal quality—prophesying that Major-General Nelson A. Miles would not be called by the President to command the army when Lieutenant-General Scho- field retires. Reasons for these impalpable assertions have not yet appeared, but in their place have come statements, more or less garbled, as to disobedience of orders in connection with the Geronimo surrender; offenses now deemed sufficient to prevent the transfer of Gen. Miles from Governor's Island to the War Department. Discussion of ancient history is sometimes profitable, but it does not promise to be so tn this instance; it is probably enough for most People to know that whatever Gen. Miles may or may not have done in Arizona, he was not even formally accused of soldierly impropriety, although the army is always Jealous of its good repute. Had Gen. Miles been guilty of any offense against military futhority he would surely have been eourt-martialed; the fact that charges were not preferred against him is the strongest kind of testimony in his behalf. Even sup- Posing, though, that there was disobed- fence of orders some nine years ago, it would be a most extraordinary proceeding to delay the infliction of punishment until now, and quite as extraordinary to provide @ form of punishment for which there is mo precedent, and which, without Con- gressional action, would be ineffective. Discussion as to Gen. Milles’ courage and ability must be extremely one-sided; no one who knows Miles can honestly ques- tion elther of them. Throughout the war of the rebeliton and against Indians on the |- now-vanished frontier, Nelson A. Miles al- ways did his whole duty, no matter how dangerous or disagreeable that duty was. In times of comparative peace he has given to those portions of the army for which he was responsible an excellent adminisira- tion; during the d'sturbances at Chicago last summer he was not found wanting. It is the public fmpression that objection to Gen. Miles being placed in command of the army comes almost entirely from those who, being themselves graduates of the military. academy at West Point, are op- Fosed to the supreme elevation of a non- graduate. Surely that impression is with- out any considerable foundation. For the sake of the army The Star hopes that the Prejudice of graduates against non-gradu- ates has almost passed away. It is difficult to figure out how the President could make @ junior officer step over Gen. Miles’ head; the complications which would ensue as the result of such an attempt will suggest themselves at once to any one conversant with military methods. No one, however, has any facts to exhibit in support of the tieory that some other general than Miles will be placed in command of the army on the 29th inst. Unprejudiced folks are sat- isfied that Miles will directly succeed Scho- field, and that the army will take a long stride ahead as the result of the succession. —_—_~+>—__ ‘The efficiency of our west-coast quaran- tine is Itkely to be severely tested for some time to come. Cholera is rampant in China and Japan and has also secured a foo0t-hold at, Honolulu. Nervous people and people who are not nervous will alike keep an eye on the health officers of the Pacific border, for many of those officials ere as yet un- tried. Hitherto Asiatic cholera has gener- ally assailed us from the east, and has in- variably heen barred out. Now, however, comes a serious attack from the west, and there will of course be comparisons insti- tuted between the eastern and western sub- divisions of the force upon the vigilance of which so much depends. 2+ There is no doubt a great deal of sincere objection to bicycles and bloomers.

But I want to save you money. Some day you or your heirs’ll be called on to subscribe for a monu- ment to me acknowledging the indebtedness of the human race to my intellectual en- deavors. “Well, 'll help pay for your tombstone.” “Ab, there's the point; both as a modest man and a utilitarian, I hold this monu- ment in contempt. But it'll be forced on me. A dollar would be as little as you could decently subscribe.” “T'd give it.” “I'm sure you would. But my proposition is that you withhold the dollar then and give me fifty cents now. That’s a discount of fifty percent for cash—which, in my estima- tfon, is almighty liberal’ —+ « > ____ Dangers of Star Chamber Government From the Omaha Bee. The fruits of star chamber government have been reaped in the shape of reckicsg vaste of public funds, creation of unne:es- sary offices, extravagant salaries, defalca- tions and treasury raids. They have been reaped in the perversion of justice, the de- moralization of police and fire departments, and bogus municipal reform. The cost of government by star chamber, computed in money, though it wiil run into the hun- dreds of thousands, is, however, of minor ecnsequence when compared with its detri- mental effect upon public morals and its subversion of popular rights and republican self-government, alais |il\oyal Friday Bargain Hours Tomorrow, from 9 to 12 m., and 4 to § p. m., the fol- lowing special prices for desirable goods in ample quantities, all sizes colors, ” BAe. ya. for 50c Autumn Wool Suitings. yd. for 59¢ Black Jacquard Suitings, yd. for the 75e Fancy Silks.
