THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. MONDAY... -March 30, 1896. CROSBY S. NOYES......... --Editor. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent Family Circulation much more than the combined cir- culation of the other Washington dailies. As a New: md Advertising Medium it has competitor. In order te avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR sho not be addressed to any individual connected with the effice, Lut simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorisl or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. A Lincoln Monunient. Henry Watterson’s eloquent tribute to Abraham Lincoln calls attention afresh to the fact that no adequate memorial of that very great man exists in this city. That such memorial should exist nobody disputes, and that Washington is the proper place for It is as generally conceded. This is the capital of the country, which Mr.. Lincoin labored so faithfully and heroically and successfully to save. His figure looms tall- est now out of that stubborn struggle for the preservation of the Union. His fame is universal, and secure fer all time. Even these who stood against him in the civil war are today of the company of those who cherish his memory with deepest and sincerest respect and affection. The char- acter of last night's demonstration testifies to this fact. ‘The speaker-was an ex-confed- erate ,and among those who applauded every sympathetic and eulogistic utterance were men of national renown, all their lifetime identified with the party opposed to the party which Mr. Lincoln led. This ~ sone, therefore, is sufficient to show that 20 far as his countrymen are concerned, Mr. Lincoln réigns in the hearts of all alike. A> bil embodying the proposition for a incoln monument is now before the Library committee of the House. The author is Mr. Evans of the Eouisville district, who, both as a representative of the state In which Mr. Lincoin was born, and as a good Amer- lcan cherishing Mr. Lincoin’s memory, is anxious to see some fitting step taken in the premises. Expressing himself at the time of introducing his measure to a repre- sentative of The Star, Mr. Evans said that the absence of such a monument to so great @ man was remarked by every visitor to the capital, and was the subject likewise of surprise and regret. He himself had ex- perienced the feeling, and his bill was the eutgrowth of it. ‘The bill is Hberal in terms. It does not prescribe either plan or site. All details are left toa commission, to he fairly select- ed and in the fullest sense representative. That Congress would pass this bill there appears to be not the slightest reason to doubt, and that the sentiment of the people of all sections would applaud the act is equally certain. It is to be hoped, therefore, _ both that Mr. Evans may press the Library committee for a vote, and that the commit- tee may see its way clear to an early favor- eble report. The whole question will be solved with the granting of the appropria- tion. A request for plans for such a work would bring responses from men of the highest genius, while a. fitting site in this beautiful city would offer itseli in any eirection. —___< e+ ____ ‘To Destroy London Fogs. Popular Science News says that Gen. R. G. Dyrenforth is now planning to relieve London of the foggy atmosphere with which the English capital has so long and so intimately been associated. Washington will be very proud of Professor Dyrenforth if he succeeds in emancipating London from a most annoying and unhealthy thralldom, for Professor Dyrenforth is a Washingtonian. It is stated that the sem of fifty thousand dollars ts to be expended In experiments. The plan, as announced, looks to the establishment of anti-fog sta- tions located between the city and the sea; when the fog makes its appearance a bom- bardment of the upper atmosphere com- mences and the rain which is expected to follow the cannonading ts to disperse the fog. Perhaps the scheme will work, but it does not appear to be. sufficiently radical. Scientists are on record as saying that the marshy character of ‘the soil beneath and about London -is“largely*responsible for the mists; that the moisture is exhaled from the earth and not drawn down from above. If this theory be the correct one then Pro- fessor Dyrenforth ought to strike directly at the root of the evil, and instead of send- Ing his bombs‘into the air he should plant them in the ground and then touch them off. Such an operation, repeated with suf- ficient frequency, would remove most of the marshland, and might, in the course of time, have some effect on the atmosphere. In view of the scmewhat strained relations existing between Great Britain and the United States Professor Dyrenforth should j not explode his bombs in the early morning. He did that once or twice in the vicinity of Fort Myer one moist morning and several people in this city heard of it and said and wrote uncomplimentary things about the disturbance. —_—__ + es ___ ‘The Eckington-Belt Situation. Representatives of the Eckington and Sol- fiers’ Home Railway Company and the Belt Compary—really one concern—have repeatedly put themselves on record as being anxious to supersede horse power as @ motive ferce on their roads and have talked, somewhat vaguely, of a com- pressed-air motor which they alleged would be satisfactory to themselves and to the public. The attorney for the District says that the Eckington-Belt management can- not make the substitution referred to be- cause there fs no law that authorizes or permits such a change. If the corporate management is really intent upon modern- izing its equipment it should Jose no time in joining hands with those who are per- sistently and properly engaged in agitating for reform—the North Capitol and Ecking- ton Citizens’ Association, fer example—to the end that by united effort the necessary legislation may be enacted. Ag to the desirability of a mechanical motor in place of horseflesh there is no evident difference of opinion between the railway people and the association—which iatter, in this mat- ter, at least, represents the popular idea —so, therefore, there ought not to be any Tack of harmony as to what Congress should do in the premises. Senate Dill 1886 or House bill 5220 will satisfy the People of Washington; the Eckington-Belt management, if it hag been sincere in its representations, should also be pleased to have either of those measures become law. —_——_—_+e-+___ Li Hung Chang ts making preparations to travel with much magnificence in this country.

Mavroyen! Bey has not been recalled, say the latest dispatches from Constantinople, so Turkey’s representative- may continue to enjoy to the full the pleasures of resi- dence In this altogether-delightful city. For a time there was reason to fear that the envoy of the Crescent was under the ban ices, he hus nevertheless assured us that His confidence is unshaken. Such a mutual-ad- miration-society condition cannot, however; continue much longer if Mavroyen! Bey lives up to his promises. In The Star-of Satur- day last the minister was referred to as saying in his own defense that/he was keeping the American government and its people promptly advised as td the actual State of affairs, im Armerins If the chief representative o! f thie Sublime Porte desires to retain his fob’ he. wilf tuke The Star's advice and say. as. Hitle-as:possible about “the actual state ‘of affairs in Armenia.” Fairy-tales about massacres of Kurdish or regular troops by Armenian boys and girls may be circulated with comparative safety and may even aclieve the altitudinous honor of royal approbation, but any honest endeavor to inform the American people as to what fs really going on in Armenia will bring down on the head of Mavroyent Bey trouble enough to last him for the rest of his life; and even that might be chop- ped a little at one end. The Star knows whereof it speaks. It had occasion—as a believer In truth and--everything else that is decent—to discuss, Turkish mlsgovern- ment and brutality in Armenia, and as soon as that beczme known tothe green-trous- ered administration above the Dardanelles The Star was ukased out of the Turkish mails and -forbidden to exist within the Turkish empire. Of course Turkey is the loser by that arbitrary action, but the slip- Per will be on the other foot, so to speak, should Mevroyeri Bey endeavor to follow ‘The Star's example.

Two things give this week a very important bearing on Dress Goods. You have just about time enough to push a gown through and have it ready for Easter wearing. That is one. The other is the necessity of your making your selec- tion promptly if you want the : satisfaction of choosing from anything like a complete as- sortment. Some—many’ of our best, most exclusive ef- fects are almost gone—only a pattern or two in a shade or two left. Of course they are naturally the choicest ones. Any way there is nothing to be gained by delay, and a great deal by giving the matter your immediate atten- tion.
