As a News and Advertising it has no competitor. t7Im order to avoid delays, on nc- count of personal aimence, 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- men: according to tenor or purpore. patti caestherie An Appenl to Hon. A. M. Seven Others. It is stated in the “Post” this morning that the “Hon. A. M. Clapp, Col. W. L. Bramhall, Col. L. Cook. W. B. Reilly, B. ¥. Crawshaw, B .M. Elliot, Dr. R. H. Gra- hham and Prof. Alexander Christie” of the executive committee of the Union Repubii- ran Club met last night and “freely dis- russed” the nomination of Mr. John B. Wight to be Commissioner in an unfavor- able way. This is a deplorable condition of affairs. Here are 300,000 people of the Dis- trict, deducting the Hon. A. M. Clapp, Col. ‘W. L. Bramhall, Col. L. Cook, W. B. Reilly, B. F. Crawshaw, B. M. Eliot, Dr. R. H. Graham and Prof. Alexander Chris- tie, heartily applauding the nomination of Mr. Wight to be Commissioner, and ex- Pecting his prompt confirmation as a mat- fer of course. But this cannot be. Mr. Clapp and seven others block the way. ‘They say that notwithstanding Mr. Wight ‘Would make an honest, capable and unex- ceptionable Commissioner they cannot per- mit his confirmation unless he can prove himself a stalwart republican and can an- swer satisfactorily a string of questions theaded by the absurd inquiry to a voteless citizen, “Have you ever voted the republi- can ticket?” This, we repeat, is a distressing situation, @nd threatens, unless Mr. Clapp and his @even associates relent, to become intol- erable. Will not they consent to let up, on their cinch on the other 290,992 people of the Dis- trict, and allow the wheels of the District government to revolve again? 2 ———_ + ee —___ Obstruction in the Senate. Mr. Gorman in the Senate calls for a thorough examination of the appropriation bills now before that body, and for a sub- stantial reduction of the sums total. His observations are based upon the assertion that the situation has changed very ma- terially since the bills were prepared, that they have not been considered by a com- mittee “completely and fully organized, ‘and that in the present state of affairs in the country the amounts they carry are extravagant. How materially has the situation changed since these bills were prepared? The work was done only a few months ago. The es- timates of that day still stand. The bills would have been law weeks ago but for Mr. Cleveland's refusal to sign them. If the committees of the Senate are not, as Mr. Gorman complains, “completely and fully organized,” whose fault is it? The republican party is expected to act, and the republicans in the Senate have shown & disposition to shoulder their part of the responsibility. They have not been per- mitted to do so, and Mr. Gorman is the author of the terms which the republicans have declared themselves unable to accept. But the appropriations committee would scarcely be changed at all even if Mr. Gor- man’s terms were to be accepted. It would remain substantially as now organized. “The condition of the country,” so far @S appropriations are concerned, 1s the result of a lack of revenue. And the re- sponsibility for that lack of revenue lies at the door of the present tariff law, which, as a revenue producer, is a demon- strated failure. Who is responsible for the present tariff law? Was any other sena- tor’s voice so potent in the deliberations which gave shape to it as Mr. Gorman’s? His prominence in the contest gave to the measure a hyphenated name. It is known as the Gorman-Wilson bill. The present Dingley bill is designed to correct the evil as to revenue, and provide the government with money enough to carry on compre- hensive and necessary functions. The Senate is a deliberative body, which may always be relied upon to carefully examine all questions laid before it. Economy is a good watchword. The coun- try, however, it is safe to say, is more interested just now in a prompt discharge of the business before Congress than in the fashioning of a campaign cry designed to further the interests of Mr. Gorman in the coming senatorial fight in Maryland. ———_+ e+ ___ Good Detective Work. The local police deserve credit for their geod work in discovering the men who Tobbed a Texan in the White Lot the other right. The clue on which they worked was of the slightest character, a meager de- scription of one of the men being furnished by the dazed victim, whose memory was fogged by the blows of the thugs. The po- lice have apparently located all of the high- waymen and it is probable that in due time they will meet their punishment for their crime. This sort of business in the heart of the city must be ended and it can only be done by the rigid enforcement of the Jaw upon the criminal. Such good work by the police will go far towards breaking up the gangs of robbers and foot-pads who at times make the city parks dangerous for pedestrians. One of the men apprehended 1s notorfous for his crooked work and the ‘police experience with him is such as to ‘warrant sharp treatment by the courts. ‘but it is certainly more peaceful in its di Pcsition.. Scarcely a fortnight passes which ‘does not witness a bland toleration of lan- @vege and insinuations which would in- evitably have provoked combat in days ‘hen men were in general more sensitive and less business-like. ——_— e- __ ‘The prominent Americans who are gomg to the queen's jubilee deserve credit per- haps for good temper in not resenting the fact that London did not turn out to see the President inaugurated. —_» e+e Under Which King? A difference is to be noted between the aciress put forward Monday by the Na- tional Association of Democratic Clubs and the address delivered by Mr. Bryan Tues- day night.They do not emphasize the <ame » iress of the clubs is pitched dis- most shrilly, one might say—in the key of tariff reform. The Dingley btll is the text, and it is roundly arraizned. The criticism, indeed, reads like a chapter from the campaign of 1892, when the tariff was practically the only issue. The whole democratic recoré on the subject is :e- stated, and the law laid down afresh that tariff reform must be effected upon demo- cratic lines. There are absolutely no res- ervations—no ifs or buts about it. This document was not hastily thrown off. The authorship is aseribed to Hon. Chauncey ¥F. Black, the president of the Association of Clubs, a man who ranks high in his Party, and is a personal friend and sup- porter of Mr. Bryan. Gov. Black was a * guest at the Jefferson dinner Tuesday night, . and applauded Mr. Bryan's speech, Mr. Bryan insists upon the issue of last year. His whole deliverance is pitched in the key of silver. It reads like one of his « Sddreeses of last year. He, too, is in favor of tariff reform, but in season. Every- oo a I De thing in its own order. For the present, tariff reform can wait. Says Mr. Bryan: “The money question must be the para- mount issue of the next campaign, as it was of the last. If the Dingley bill brings general and ent prosperity, the democratic party will not be in a position to win a contest by opposing it. If, on the other hand, the Dingley bill proves a disappvintment to those who advocate it, our position of 18% will be strengthened, and public attention will be riveted upon the fact that the cause of financial depres- sion fs to be found in our monetary sys- tem. In giving special importance to this great issue, the party does not mean to assert that bimetallism is a panacea for all political and social ills, but we mean that the party will not seriously under- take any other reform until the money of the Constitution is restored. This is what the poet calls “hot stuff. There is no getting around it or awa: from It. It comes, too, at a time when it is sure to attract unusual attention. The national democrats are preparing to dine. They are going to discuss politics over smoking viands, and in a spirit of prepara- tion for the future. They are bitterly op- posed to the Dingley Dill, and some hope has been entertained among them that may- be the old tariff cry—a resounding blast on the old horn—might reunite the party. But is this possible now? Will these gen- tlemen feel justified in changing their pres- ent position in the fact of Mr. Bryan's declaration, that no other reform is to be serfously undertaken until the money ques- } tion is disposed of? The national democrats will be heard from in New York city on the evening of the 24th instant, and Mr. Bryan’s speech will add to the interest of what they shall have to say on that occasion. ——_ + = —___ It may be that the alleged airship 1s only a hoax to frighten the tariff constructors with the hint that after they get the duties all duly scheduled commerce will be con- ducted by routes which will make it im- possible to collect them. —___-+ + = —___. Great Britain’s traditional spirit of fair play is not shown in the tendency of some of her newspapers to encourage the slaugh- ter of female seals in such a manner as to cause the indiscriminate and profitless kill- ing of their young. —______ + «2 Japan can surely appreciate the unde- sirability of having the hostility of China on one side of the Pacific ocean and that of the United States on the other. ———___<+++— Mr. Bailey continues loyal in spite of the fact that there is no evidence that Thomas Jefferson ever pinned his faith to the Prince Albert coat. —____+ «+ Mr. Fitzsimmons proposes, if there is any practical method of so doing, to hang on to the laurel wreath and let the gloves alone. : : General Weyler is the only institution that can rival a base-ball club for sus- tained enthusiasm in issuing prospectuses.

SHOCTING STARS. A Comparison. The very loquacious man had come to a pause in his discourse, and an admirer took advantage of the lull to say: “Hasn't he a splendid command of lan- gvage?” “It doesn’t seem so to me,” replied the weary-looking lady. ‘‘He has plenty of it. It’s like riding a bicycle down hill. He can start easily enough, but he can’t stop himself.” Political Reciprocity. To serve my country oft I yearn, And I am very free To say I think that, in return, My country should serve me. Unappreciative. “Might I ask what school of poetry you prefer?” inquired the young man who writes. And the old gentleman replied: “The homeopathic school. The smaller the dose, the better it suits me.” An Unconquerable Prejudice. “Dis is a fine piece,” remarked Plodding Pete, who had been regaling himself with seme literature which he had picked up on the way. “What's it about?” Mike. “About de beauties of nature. Come to Vink of it, some o’ dem is fine. Don’t ye kind of enjoy lookin’ over at evening, and seein’ de mountain bathed in light?" “No,” replied Meandering Mike. “Me nature’s too sympathetic. I feel sorry for "em." . asked Meandering General Indignation. “It seems to me that you can be depended on to say the wrong thing more than any other man that I know.” “What have I done?” “Insulted the Bliggins family.” “Why, I tried to compliment them.” “You said that their baby, who is still too yeung to have any hair, looked exactly like its father.” “Yes.” “Well, Bliggins is insulted on his own ac- count and his wife is insulted on behalf of the baby.” & Jeffersonian. Only two men really knew What this country ought to do; Reached the very bottom facts As to Congress and its acts; Where's the mind that rightly gleans What the Constitution means? Yet by us the thing was done— Me and Thomas Jefferson. I am willing to agree Most men want their country free; Here’s the question in each mind— “How much freedom and what kind?” ‘Tis a matter of such doubt, Only two have found it out; Only two the key have won; Me and Thomas Jefferson. Many people vow I'm wrong. To be doubted by the throng Is the price that genius pays For the world’s maturer praise. I am told they'd disagree With him as they do with me. "Tis the same ojd race we've run— Me and Thomas Jefferson. —__ + += — ‘The Railroads and the Trust Decision. From the Chicago Tribune. If the roads will be satisfied to accept reasonable rates—the question of reason- ableness not to be determined by them, but by the representatives of the people— they will get along well enough. Those roads which are economically’ and judi- ciously managed will make fair profits on the capital actually invested. That is all any road has a right to ask. ——_ es —____ Battle Ships and Merchant Marine. From the St. Lonis Star. The records of the battleship Iowa and the American ners St. Louis and St. Paul show that American shipbuilders are the best in the world, and yet our mer- chant marine is.too small to be recognized. Shall it continue so, is now the leading question. Compensations, From the New York Herald.

Remnants are the only goods we coax you to buy—they’re a busi- ness loss that’s counted on. The very low reduced prices we put on them to close them out quickly are not from imaginary values, but from prices that were current but a few hours or days before. Remnants of Dress Goods, Linens and other piece goods are carefully measured and marked just as they measure. Soiled or crumpled handkerchiefs, articles of un- der and outer wear, scratched and marred goods, etc., are ticketed and so arranged that you may see their exact condition. Thus it is with all rem- nants, and you buy them as they are and for what they are worth to you. Tomorrow there’lt be many bargain opportunities. Piles of rem- nants of every character and kind. Rare opportunities among the Dress Goods—choice pieces of the season’s brightest stuffs, left by this week’s steady stream of buyers—skirt lengths, dress lengths, waist lengths, chil- dren’s frock lengths.
