4 THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. ...April 22, 1897. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent Family Circulation much more than the combined eir- eulation of the other Washington dnilies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. al connected with the jcc, but simply to THE STAR, or to Editorial or Business Depart- ments, necord! to tenor or purpose. —= = so: Cleture in the Senate. It may be sald without disrespect to Mr. Mason, or without disparagement of his proposition, per se, that the time was not happily chosen for- the introduction of his cloture resolution. Instantly, of course, it was interpreted to bear upon the coming tariff debate, and yet without sufficient Justification existing for bracketing the two subjects. No threats ef obstruction to the tariff bill have been made. On the con- trary, Mr. Jones of Arkansas, who will lgad the op csition to the bill, has expzesely Stated that the opposition will not unduly delay the firal vote. More than this could not have been asked. More than this can- not be secured by Mr. Mason's resolution, or anything akin to it. Everything in the Senate should make for an early disposition of the one question before it which, in importance to the coun- try, far outweighs all other questions. Any delay abcut that matter, on any account, would be both a mistake and a misfortune. The mode of procedure in the Senate can wait. Controversy on that point is not rew. nor, as we have just stated, is the peint pressing at this time. Filibustering is not on the cards against the tariff Dill. Debate and debate will be in order. The republican leaders expect debate, and so does the country. There is no demand from apy quarter that the bill be “jammed through.” As for partisanship—the mere effort to nag and trip up the party responsible for legislatien—that also should wait. There will be plenty of time for fighting. Con- gress will meet in regular session next December, and issues will be abundant. The campaign of 1898 will grow largely out of the contentions of that session. The financial question will come up then, and the new House will be chosen with the debates of the regular session fresh in the people's ears. Fervid declamation at this time, therefore, will signify nothing at that time. Better save the powder until there is actual need of burning it, and when every Gischarge will be likely, on one side or the other, to do some execution. The extra session of the Fifty-third Con- gress was unduly protracted by the intro- duction of side issues into the debates, and the result was very expensive to the coun- try. The country was in acute distress then, and desired early action on the busi- ness before Congress. At a time when the country is almost in as great distress, shail we have a repetition of that appalling history? —- —++2____ Good Work im Alexandria. The results of the democratic primaries in Alexandria yesterday are all that the Most earnest friends of good municipal government could desire and prove that the citizens of that community are thoroughly aroused not only to the opportunity at their hands but to the necessity of accepting it without further postponement. The choice Was expressed with such emphasis as to leave no doubt of the will of the people. They gave the candidates who had per- mitted themzelves to be supported by the undesirable element a distinct turning down and thus served notice on the policy sharps, the gamblers, the race track supporters, and the immoral factors generally that a rew leaf is about to be turned over in Alex- andria. Yesterday's nominations will doubt- less be followed by the election of the men framed and upon them will then rest the burden of carrying out their campaign Fromises to give the city a clean, honest “dministration. They have been put to the front by the citizens who recognize Alex- andria’s opportunities and facilities for de- velopment and regret the time that has been lost in the past. They have it in their ower to turn a strong tide of immigration towards the 4 city, to rehabilitate it and to cause it to Bloom with modern progres- siveness and prosperity. For upon their ef- forts will rest almost entirely the absolute Givorce of the city from all corrupting in- fluences, the expulsion of the undesirables, the punishment of all law breakers without fear or favor and the general moral cleans- ing of the community in such fashion as to remove from it the stigma which has of late years attached to It. This duty ts one that all good Washingtonians earnestly hepe to sce conscientiously Performed, for Alexandria's prosperliy and rehabilitation are not more heartily desired by the citi- zens of that city than by those of its neigh- = and well wisher, the capital of the na- t ——_+e-____ Washington has been greatly honored of late by the preference shown for it asa place of residence by men of extraordinary wealth. In this connection, Society is all @gog over the remote suggestion from no less a source than the Supreme Court that Mr. Havemeyer and Mr. Searles may be Prevailed upon to occupy, at least for a short time, a villa on the picturesque East- ern Branch of the Potomac. ——_+ e +] __ The present predicament of the western air ship is a discouragement to people who have been looking forward with great en- Joyment to excursions on that kind of craft. There is obviously some hitch in its complicated mechanism which prevents it from coming down. ——_e-____ The arbitration treaty stands forth by the side of the city post office as a monu- menta! refutation of any suggestion that the United States is inclined to act hastily im matters of importance. —_>+2—____ The bloomer girl may be positively en- rolled as a strong partisan of the Turks in the present war, for if the Greeks shculd win it will be a great triumph for the pet- ticeat. ——_++-+____ The New York Complication. Is greater New York to follow Chicago into the democratic fold? T:.is is one cf the interesting problems of the day. At the November election the republi- cans carried Chicago by an overwhelming majority. All the friends of gocd national government strove together and achieved @ great victory. But when the municipal contest ceme on this spring, the men who had supported Mr. McKinley last fall di- vided up for one reason or another, and the regularly labelled democratic ticket Gwept the city. Carter Harrison was elected mayor, and Mr. Bryan was among the first of the dgmocratic leaders of na- tional reputation {to congratulate him cn his succega, The result was everywhere hailed in democratic circles as a reversal of the local November verdict. In New York city and Brooklyn at the November election similar results were ob- tained by similar means. The friends of protection and sound money, regardless of differences o2 otker questions, stood to- gether and carried the day. Those two cities are to be consolidated, and the first municipal election under the new order of things will take place next fall. it~ uation is already being canvassed, Ca division cf the sound money forces, as in Chicago, is threatened. The presert prom- THE EVENING STAR, THURSDAY, APRIL 22, 1897—14 PAGES. ise is of three tickets: a non-partisan business men’s ticket, a regular republican. ticket and regular democratic ticket. The first two tickets will divide the sound money element, while the third will rep- resent the democracy, which in November last supported Mr. Bryan. If this plan is adhered to, will not the democracy—the Tammany of the new met- ropolis—sweep the town next fall? It would appear to be very likely. Although Tammany was defeated last fall, it was not overwhelmingly defeated. It polled one hundred and thirty-five thousand votes for Mr. Bryan, and the record in the circum- stances is ore that cannot at this time safely be ignored. It would unquestionably give the new metropolis a black eye to fall at the very outset under the control of a rejuvenated and an enlarged Tammany, and, if possi- ble, such a misfortune ought to be pre- vented. The friends of good local govern- ment should come together, as did the friends of good national government last fall. In no other way can Tammany again be defeated. And it might be a matter of consequence beyond a mere local bearing it greater New York at this time should surrender, as Chicago has done, to a move- ment composed in the main of men who are still reckoned among the staunchest champions of the free and unlimited coin- age of silver. —____ =__—___ The New York assembly has passed a bill making it an offense, punishable by a fine of $5, to wear a high hat at the thea- ter. It is hardly to be expectetd that the distributors of patronage will let a condi- tion like this’ pass without creating some such office as “Inspector of Theater Hats.” ——>+2e—__ The odds are the other way, but Li Hung Chang may yet have occasion to give the Sultan some friendly and com- petent advice on how to take a whipping gracefully. ———~++s—___ It will take a great deal of reasoning to convince the average mind that it is any worse for the Greeks to interfere in Crete than it is for the Turks to massacre Chris- tians, ——_ +e ____ The uniform dissatisfaction expressed with recent samples of bank robbery is certainly not duc to any lack of variety in the styles. ——_>e+2—____ One of the arguments against a law sup- pressing the cartocnist is the probable sat- isfaction that it would give the Sultan of Turkey. The Japanese are the politest people on earth. This is conceded by everybody ex- cept thgChinese. + =—___—_ There were only one hundred and eighty- five men today working on the city post office building. SHOOTING STARS. An Unresisted Conqueror. “Did the enemy offer any resistance?” “Not the slightest,” replied the Spanish general. “We have printed at least a doz- en victories and they have not published a single denial.” Viewed Professionally. The railway man exclaimed, “Alas, Exceptions are most scant; The Turks are fighting for a pass Which the Greeks refused to grant.” “Er good many folks,” said Uncle Eben, “seems ter go ter a base ball game foh de piezsure ob hyahin’ dar own voices; and a good many othuhs ‘pears ter get up an’ make speeches foh perzackly de same rea- sen.” A Serious Difficulty. “What's the matter with the dramatic critic? He looks worried.” “He is. His work is botherirg him dread- fully. He has a reputation as a wit to maintain, and he has just seen a play of so much merit that he can’t conscientiously make fun of it.” She Knew. Young Mrs. Torkins had read the para- graph through twice. Then she broke into a ripple of laughter. ‘What are you laughing at?’ inquired her husband. “Something funny.” “How do you know it’s funny?” wag the bantering rejoinder. “Humph; I can tell by looking at it. It’s about two men who meet on the street. They stand there and say a lot of things and at the last one of them says, ‘Well, the drinks are on me.’ And that shows that it’s funny.”* “A Joyo Omen. A monster bird of prophecy, reported from the west, Set all our hopes in motion and laid all our fears to rest; Momentous enterprises which had found discouragement Will surely gain new force by the example that is lent. For, who can doubt the springtime of a golden age has come, : That we're basking In the sunlight of the true millennium? There came a tide of promise sweeping o'er all earthly things From the song that swelled entrancing, when the airship flapped its wings. In 2 week or two this earth will talk with Mers; and it is plain They'll arrar ge it so a farmer with a shot- gun can bring rain. The nations who have hitherto oppressed the weak and fought Will be ready to desist because they realize they ought. For currency the world will find a satisfy- ing plan; Each person will be prosperous as any other man. The righteous one with deuces will defeat the rogue with kings— ‘Tis the message that was caroled when the airship flapped its wings. “+2 _____ Confirm the Commissioners! From the Washington Post today. It scems to us that the Senate would do well to take prompt action upon the Presi- dent's appointment of Messrs. Ross and Wight to be Commissioners of the District of Columbia. There are reasons why the local government should be organized as soon a3 possible, and, so far as we can see, none at all why the nominattons in ques- tion should be held up. Nobody questions the fitness of eith@r gentieman. Each has the respect and confidence of the com- munity. And, in the special ease of Hon. John W. Ross, we know by long exper- fence that he is in every way thoroughly equipped for the duties and responsibilities of the place. He has served two terms al- ready; he has given universal eg | so far as concerns his official Cregeen he is, personally, one of the most popular men in the District with all classes and conditions. Nothing is to be gained while much is to be lost by delay and uncertainty in ‘this matter. The only argument we have heard advanced ts that Mr. Wigat is not a good enough republican and Mr. not a-good enough democrat to suit certain gentlemen of very stalwart ‘arty feeling on either side. It has been sufficiently shown in this connection, however, thgt Mr. Wight has never been anything but a republican nor Mr. Ross anything but a democrat, and this record is, for all. urposes of District government, quite sufficien the minds of the taxpaying element of the commun- make any one belleve—any one who know: Me.

Every bolt of goods has an end—every class of goods composed of a line of sizes has its medium sizes sold first, thereby leaving the very large or very small sizes—sets of China Ware, through some mishap or other, lose a piece or two, leaving an incomplete set—various sorts of goods are soiled, mussed or finger marked from doing service as window or department decorations—other classes of merchandise, such as Glass Ware, Tin Ware, Wooden Ware, etc., are scratched, cracked, dented or otherwise defaced in transit or from improper handling in the store. From these several sources remnants accumulate very rapidly, and we cannot push them aside or pile them up. Our business policy demands their absolute and immediate clearance in order to keep the stock fresh, bright and up to date. Less than perfect goods or complete assortments have no place here. Hence Friday of each week is devoted to the selling of remnants —fragments, remainders, useful bits for personal and home use, etc. ‘omorrow will be a remnant day of unusual importance, as for quick distribution we’ve made the prices in many cascs half and less. We have also secured especially for the occasion several bargain lots of goods which we shall offer at very specially low prices as follows: Friday’s Special Bargain in Men’s Department. 50 dozen Men's Printed Silk Band Bows and String Ties in the correct width (1% inches), which we shall offer at the Special Sale Price, 15c.
