To this frequent! uation the west take eption. More than that, it makes positive denial, and it aces ugh the medium of one who is 1 as the legislative representative of the very elements said to be anxious to brirg about geographical and govern- mental division of the United States, either the Mississippi or Missouri rivers bet rding to the prophetic $s any man with what may for these purposes be termed the discontented west.

He admits the existence pf discontent, but be betic that “there Is fully as muck dissatisfaction among the people of the east with the west as there is among these of the west with the east, end that there is as much cause fer ask- ins for the justifying re therefor as there is in e=ling for reasons that justify western dissatisfaction.” ‘The Senator de not much solid support for th assertion; the best he do: to indiscriminate criticism of the tern new and by Presi- veland at the recent Presbyterian on meeting in New York city. when the Senator starts out to tell why the west Is dissatisfied with the and interest- atements upon which controversy may be based and which may bring into existence reformatory measures calculated to ameliorate conditions that may now ap- give u: But ns east he makes several specifi Ing pear to be oppressive.

The bill aims to secure uni- fermity in the names of streets and roads n the District. As things now are the ystem of nomenclature is weak, with mary conspicuous breakdowns as evidence of population is moving towards the west and declaring that the national capital should be moved westward in order to be nearer that center. There might have been some ground for the demand for the removal of the nattonal capital when the city of Washington was a straggling vil- lage with unpaved streets, disease-breed- ing swamps and none of the attributes of a modern community, but these grounds dis- apreared when Gov. Shepherd came to the surface of affairs here and started the capital upon the career of progressive de- velopment which has metamorphosed it into a city excelled by none and equalled by few of the capitals of the world. The city thus transformed has becon:e the pride of every intelligent American outside of ene St. Louis newspaper sanctum. Its perpetuity as the seat of national govern- tent is as much assured as the movement of the planets. te Established a New Record, ‘The advertising record of The Star was broken on Saturday, when it printed sev- enty-seven and a half columns of fresh live business advertisernents. There have of course been times when a greater amount than this has been carried in a single issue or series of issues—for example when a tax list or something lke that may be in course of publication; but never in the history of the ordinary every day bust- ing patronage exceeded the space covered on Saturday. To merely say that such a showing is as creditable as it Is gratifying to the paper does not ade- quately express the situation. It marks an Improvement in the general business situa- tion in as significant a manner as it testifies to the esteem in which The Star is held as a newspaper and advertising medium by the b interests of the city. —— 1 A country has no right to leave its citi- zens at the merey of other governmenis.

From the Alexandria Gazette. Scientilc work is a great thing, to be sure, but it does not compare with ‘that of common sense, for practical purposes. Tho object of the expense of the new ter- race of the Capitol at Washington was to improve the proportion between the im- mense dome and the squatty building, but the accomplishment of that object was prevented by making the steps, constitut- ing nearly the whole of its front, of dark colored slate, and, stranger still, by plant- ing trees on the top of it, the absurdity of the latter being so apparent that they were Femoved at once. When the improve- ment of the Potomac fiats, in front of Washington, was commenced, practical en- ‘gineers said the ground to be reclaimed should be surrounded by a row of piles, driven close together, and rip rapped on the inside. But scientific engineers did the rip rap work without piles, the conse- quence being that the bottom of the new ground, being made of silt, Is constantly forcing its way back into the channel un- der the rocks, and has to be dredged out every year or two. An enormous sum of money hes been expended In the erection of a new “fire-proof” post office building in Washington, but when the walls, com- posed solely of stone and iron, were com- pleted, the scientific architects put an im- mense roof on it composed of pine wood. Science is great, and its abiding place is Washington. z KING'S PALACB. Here’s a Hat Bargain, Ladies. $1, 75¢. and soc. Hats at 22C.

The manufacturers find in the Palais Royal a store having facilities for disposing of goods in immense quantities, a store not hampered with the necessity of requiring the profits a credit business demands, a store where the policy is to sell as cheaply as possible, and, withal, a.store with no place for trashy goods. To this store—the Palais Royal—have come and will come enormous quantities of high-class dry goods, etc.,— surplus stocks because of the restricted demand, the outcome of unseasonable weather and dull times. It may be truthfully claimed that prices now quoted at the Palais Royal are less than prevailing in the New York retail stores. The rea- son is this:—The manufacturers have sold all of the leading N. Y. merchants earlier in the season at full prices, and to now dispose of sur- plus stock at reduced prices to any one would be to offend all others. - Thus manufacturers look outside of New York—and you know the Washjngton Palais Royal to be a favorite depot for the distribution of their surplus stock Suits ~ Capes Less Than New York Prices. Ladies’ Tailor-made Cloth Suits at $14, the fellows of which are selling today at $20, $25 and $30 in the leading stores on Sixth avenue, New York. Nothing mysterious. The makers sold most of their season’s production at a profit.” We buy the small surplus so as to retail at $14 —at less than former wholesale price. Capes for $4.50, Worth $7.50 to $12: Cloth, Velvet and Silk Capes, all-silk lined throughout. The origi- nal wholesale price of the cheapest was more than $4.50. Your eyes will tell you they are latest style and desirable in every respect. Skirts Less Than New York Prices. More of those Chameleon Moire Skirts at 79c each. We told you in a late announcement of the excitement they lately caused in a New York store at 98 cents, And we again describe them:— These Umbrella Skirts measure 105 inches at base...... have inch flounce, with 6-inch corded rui gray and green chameleon effects. . 12- -come in bluc, old rose, -look like $10 silk skirts. Waists Less Than New York Prices. The surplus production of “Derby” Shirt Waists are here at G6c for choice, retailed in New York and elscwhere at S1, $1 5, $1.35 and $1.50. y-six cents is less than other merchants paid at wholesale for the $1 » and, of course, those they retail at Sr $1.35 and $1.50 cost them still more. The New “Soft” Waists Also Here. Ladies who object to the manike collar and cuffs of the laundered = s will revel in these dainty Organdy, Lawn, Dimity and Grass Linen Wais And rejoice to learn that they are trim looking, while bewitchingly feminine. Some, the production of Paris dressmz kers, can’t be sold at less than $7.50—but aren't these American-made ones at $1 just as pretty? The writer thinks they are.

A maker of best “Stamped” Goods was willing to so lower his prices that the best bargains of the season are now in the Art Department of the Palais Royal.
