THE EVENING STAR, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1895—-SIXTEEN PAGES. THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. FRIDAY...............Oetober 25, 18095. CROSBY S. NOYES -Editor. THE EVENING STAR has a regular permanent Family Circulation much more than the combined cir- eulation of the other Washington dailics. As a News Advertising Medium it has no competitor. Im order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. — An Unworthy Diplomatic Officer. ‘The American vice-consul at Georgetown, British Guiana, has come to Washington on his way back to his post. He says many things while tarrying. One, at least, is sensible, being to the effect that he will resign soon after his return. The other statements tend to prove the wisdom of that one. He criticizes the attitude of the administration in the Venezuelan dispute and castigates the citizens of Crespo’s republic for their “aggressions.” He de- clares that the British claims are good and just and he paints a portrait of John Bull as a badly abused personage. He then calls attention to the fact that two Ameri- cans were injured in the recent raid of the Venezuelan police into the disputed terri- tory and he impliedly criticizes the State Department for its laxity in not demanding indemnity along with England for this outrage. He assails the Monroe doctrine and questions its utility, itsejustice and its applicability in the present case. He says that the South American rations are so weak that the United States will be kept in hot water continually, forgetting that the Monroe doctrine was pronounced par- ticularly for the purpose of preventing these weaklings from being swallowed by the European powers. All this and much more to the same un-American effect from Dr. Spaight, the vice-consul of the United States at Georgetown. He admits that he has served for twenty years in British ter- ritory, spending his vacations in Europe and thus gives evidence that he has com- pletely lost all sympathy with his own country. His utterances are sufficient, in the judgment of many people, to warrant his instant dismissal by the President, or at least a summary rebuke by the Secretary of State, whose conduct in the case has been entirely satisfactory to all Americans, it would seem, except the vice-consul at Georgetown. If he is going to resign any- how It might be a stroke of economy to avoid paying his passage back to his former post. = ——~+2___ A Task for the Board of Trade. Tonight the board of trade begins its ac- tive work for the season by a general meet- ing, the program of which includes a dis- cussion of the railroad problem and a re- view of the old-time grievance based on the dangerous and antiquated system of grade- cressings in vogue here. This great local crganization could not assail a more im- pertant nuisance. There is no lack of argu- ment on the citizens’ side of the question, and there is a singular lack of reason on the part of the corporations that persist in disregarding public sentiment, modern necessities and even economical considera- tions. The only thing in favor of the rail- roads {s the fact that they are in posses- sion. They cannot be moved, or their tracks raised or depressed without force. Doubtless there is today enough latent in- dignation among the thousands of citizens whose lives and properties are hourly en- dangered by these death-traps to swell into @ resistless power if there were ever to be ancther great disaster in which lives should be lost by reason of faulty protection from the trains, such as is always imminent, but the people of Washington are law-abiding and long-suffering and the railroads are se- cure from such an assault. Legislative en- actment is the only remedy available, and it can only be obtained, it is clear, by per- sistent and courageous efforts on the part of the citizens to wring from an apparently unwilling Congress the law that should have been passed many years ago, compel- ling the steam roads entering Washington to provide some means of effective pro- tection, either by elevating or depressing the tracks and modernizing the entire ter- minal system now in use. —_——_+ ee -___ Plece-Meal Work is Costly. Every penny of the money asked by the Listrict Corumissioners for the sewer ex- tension plans should be granted unhesitat- ingly by Congress. There is no more im- pertant scheme of local government now projected, and in view of the recent out- bieak of typhoid fever here it would be an act of unpardcnable negligence on the part of thcse in charge of the appropriations to attempt to economize in such a direction. Piece-meal work in matters of this sort is especially dangerous, and there is always a Tessibility whenever the District asks for its revenues that such work will be forced upon it. A liberal appropriation for sewers at this time will be economical when com- pated with portions doled out from session to session. The work cannot be done nearly so well and so cheaply when spread over a Period of several years as when contracted for and performed all at once. The dif- ficulty with a curtailment of the budget is that there is no choice between the pro- jects. All are really essential. The inter- ceplirg sewer that Is to relieve the James Creek Canal fs vitally important, but so 1s the Rock Creek sewer and that which is to drain the Eckington valley and the one that is to carry off the Brookland sew: Ary attempt to curtail the lst is a blow the efficiency of the whole plan. —__+ ++ __- As a part of the semi-centennial celebra- tion of the establishment of the city of Mil- waukee, the Sentinel published on the 16th instant an exceedingly interesting souvenir It consisted of about fifty pages of able matter about the prosperous city t has just passed its fiftieth birthday, well interspersed with excellent portraits. There was also an artistic four-page cov in color showing the principal public build- ings and local officials. The Sentinel has well sustained its good record in thus mark- ing the great jubilee in which all Milwaukee participated, ——-+ «+ __ A campaign speech without “a scathing denun tion” in it would be like a real €slate boom without a plat-book. ———~++s___ ‘There were but eighty-eight men at work on the city post office building today. ———_~ «= This Year's Election ess than two weeks hence elections will occur In fifteen of the states. For an off year, the situation is unusually important, as in many instances the effects of the hal- loting will be felt directly in the forth- coming presidential campaign. In five of the states the elections of this year will have an immediate bearing upon the com- position of the United States Senate, and in others the ballots cast will probably show a drif. of opinion, one way or another, that may settle or strengthen the chances of certain aspirants to the presidency. Leg's'atures will be elected in Ohio, Iowa, Kentucky and Maryland that will have the choosing of members of, the upper hows: of the national Congress, to sit in March, 1807, while In Utah the legislature elected this year will choose two Senators to sit at once. In New York the state sen- ate elected this year will participate in the election of a successor to Senator Hill, which occurs a year hence, together with an entire assembly to be chosen in 1896. ‘The most interesting campaign of all is in Kentucky, where the position of governor, as well as that of Senator, is in the bal- arce. This state is commonly classed as surely democratic, and as a paft of the solid south, but certain prophets now believe that it is about to slip into the republican column on this election. The fight in Maryland is also close and interesting for much the same reason. The domination of Senator Gorman as the one in control of the state machine is at issue, and those who look ahead of the present situation declare that this election may determine the future place of Maryland in the elec- toral college in presidential years. The New York election is of some interest, ow- ing to the fight in the city against a re- turn of Tammany to power, while the state campaign, it is declared, may have a bearing upon the position to be assumed by the friends of Gov. Morton in the na- ticnal fight. Iowa chooses a successor to Serator Allison by the legislature elected this year, but little concern is felt in this campaign, as the result can scarcely be said to be in doubt. Governors are elected in Iowa, Ohio, Kentucky, Maryland, Massa- cbusetts, Mississippl, New Jersey and Utah. In these and other states minor state offi- cials are in nomination. Taken altogether, the night of Tuesday, November 5, will be very entertaining to Washingtonians, who always tuke an interest in political mat- ters. ——__+ + >_—__ The Governor of Illinois. If it be true as reported that Governor Altgeld of Ilinols has sold the brick battle- ship at Chicago for old jun¥, then indeed will the people of America have reason to feel ashamed that any commonwealth in the Union should be under the rule of such a mercenary executive. This structure was given to Illinois by the United States govern- ment to be used as an armory for the naval militia of the state. If there were no such organization two courses were open to the governor: To form one at once and so take a sensible step toward the defense of one of America’s greatest cities in the event of trouble; or to notify the government that the state had no immediate use for the brick ship. As it is the governor is in a fair way to be suspected of obtaining a lot of old ma- terials under false pretenses. The immedi- ate cost of the structure was insignificant when compared with its sentimental value to the people, but it has long ago been dem- onstrated that there is no sentimental side to this wonderful official, who must hence- forth be known as John Parsimonious Alt- geld. —_+ + +_____ The war feeling in London against Rus- sia develops the fact that Great Britain has a Morroe doctrine of her own. They call it the “balance of power” on that side of the Ailantic. When the United States shows any similar symptoms the Londoners declare that it is all ‘Yankee bluster.” What a difference the point of view may cause! —_+ e+ ____ The economists who have been moved to do something toward utilizing the enor- mous waste of energy at Niagara Falls may, later, do something towards employ- ing in some useful manner the enormous flow of oratory which occurs regularly at this season. ——_++-+___ The usual campaign programs are being followed out, by which the eminent orators furnish the polished rhetoric and the hand- shaking and the newspapers put the facts in the case where the people can get at them and think them over. ———_+-_____ The arrest of a number of prominent gamblers for violating the laws of New York state makes the prospect for winter racing in the neighborhood of this city even greater than it was before. —__ + = ____ The perversity of human destiny’ is shown by the fact that politicians aré clamoring for harmony and do not get it, while the professional fighters achieve nothing else. —— +> __ It makes little difference whether Sena- tor Hill's necktie is crooked or not during a campaign speech so long as his Tam- many collar is on straight. —___ ++ ____ ‘The experience of Great Britain in other contests is calculated to modify confidence in its ability to walk away with the Ven- ezuelan trophy. —-- 2 oe —___ Mr. Van Alen has certain man-of-destiny symptoms about him.

All the price-preaching in the world doesn’t do a bit of good. They don’t want suits that are only cheap. They want quality—and are willing to pay what is right to be sure of getting it. Anybody knows they'll find five times the biggest variety here. Anybody can soon find out that they'll get the greatest satisfaction here. Here's a little comparative table that shows our advantage: Our $2.50 Suits Our $3.00 Suits Our $3.50 Suits Oar $5.00 Suits Our $6.00 Suits Pree ined ere Our $7.00 Suits Our $8.00 Suits Our $10.00 Suits ., Others ask $12.50 for.

There’s nowhere else to go for Boys’ Furnishings and Boys’ Hats, Most everybody keeps a few—but you want to do your buying from an assortment large enough to show you everything that's fit and fash- ionable. Here's the test we want given our Boys’ Shoes—let them be put right on and worn every day. If they don’t last longer than shoes the boys have been wearing they're no better. If they do they are—and we know they will. With every purchase you make you'll get a coupon that entitles you to guess how many shot there are io that glass jar in the window. ‘The three nearest correct guesses each get a bicycle. That's fun for the boys. Bring the youngsters in here and let them see our $16,000 reminder of the world's fair. Folks who know what rare paintings are say this “After the Storm” is a prize.
