6 = = THE EVENING § WASHINGTON. WONDAY...........0.......-May Bi, 1807. Baltor. THE " EVENING sTAR has a | regular and permanent Family Circulation ach more than the combined cir- culation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Mediam it has no competitor. 7 Im order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to addressed to ang individual connected with, the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to El Diario de la Marina, of Havana— which, with the assistance of the ear, may be a Httle freely rendered into English as “The Diary for the Marines’’—flercely as- ealla Special Commissioner Calhoun through Mr. Charles M. Pepper, The Star’s epecial correspondent in Cuba. It accuses both men in the same article: Mr. Calhoun for leaking to Mr. Pepper, and Mr. Pepper for masquerading as the intimate friend of Prosident McKinley. That may be a good story to teil the marines in Cuba, but it Will not go down in the United States. Both men have weil established reputations at home, which cannot be destroyed, or even fmpaired, by any ebullition of Spanish bile. Not to enter upon any defense of Mr. Pepper, for he needs none, the occasion is proper to refer again to his letters to The Star for proof of how thoroughly and im- partially he is executing his journalistic tcemmission in Cuba. He went to the Island in no other capacity but as newspaper cor- respondent, and to note fairly and truth- fully the situation up to date. His letters have shown his fitness for the work. They have been clear and to the point. They have not been partisan. If they have chronicled devastation and distress, it was because those horrors were everywhere on view. Mr. Pepper's latest letter appeared in The Stir Saturday and contained a statement at length of the anti-insurgent case frem the Ips of a Cuban planter who frankly declared for Spanish rule as against Insurgent rule. Does that suggest partisanship, and a disposition to give only one side a hearing? As for the charge that Mr. Pepper is vperating “in the guise vf an intimate friend of the President,” the slightest knowledge of Mr. Pepper disposes of that. He ts no swaggerer. He has no need to indu'ge in a masquerade. He knows the President, and doubtless has the Presi- dent's respect and confidence, as he has the respect and confidence of all of h's ac- qvaintances. He resided in Washington for a number of years representing a leading western newspaper, and his list of ac- quatmtances includes all the leading men in national politica. But he ts very far from being the sort of man to give himself “atrs™ on that account. Mr. Pepper is to be congratulated. No cursespondent who goes to Cuba fs so sure ef Spanish abuse as he who discovers the truth and has the nerve to tell it. When he trees himself from the hobbies of that jymg press censorship at Havana, and strikes out for himself, he becomes the target for every Spanish blackguard with a pen in his hand, or a sword at his side. —___ +++ ____ The Ohio Campaign. Of all the state campaigns on the cards for this year the Ohio campaign will be far and away the most interesting and im- portant in its bearing on the netional situa- ticn. The rational administration is to be distinctly challenged there, and on the same issue upon which last year’s battle was fought. The democrats will reaffirm the Chicago platform, and rally their men again with the cry for silver. Mr. Bryan, it is reported, will stump the state, and that means a shake-up frem Lake Erie to the Ohio river. To understand how exclusively the fight will be narrowed down to the financial is- sue, it is only necessary to glance at the probable state of the democracy. Paul Sorg, the richest man residing in the state, is talked of for governor, while John R. McLean, the richest non-resident property holder, will be the candidate for United States senator. Mr. Mc- Lean’s candidacy is now formally an- nounced. So, with two very rich men es candidates, the buckeye democracy, even with Mr. Bryan at the head of its proces- sion of stumpers, can hardly afford to go in very strong on last year’s cry of the Tich against the poor, or of the classes against the masses. The old cry of more money will be the only one available, and the democracy may be expected to use that again for all it may be worth. As an evidence of how carefully the whole democratic calculation is proceeding, how thoroughly all the points are being covered, the news comes from Cincinnati that Mr. McLean, after a sojourn of twelve years here in Washington, will arrive there dur- ing the summer and and remain until after the election in November. This will serve @ double purpose. It will enable him to di- rect the fight at close range—the party ma- @hinery is his, and he knows best how to ‘se it—and will also enable him to reply f rates to the at‘acks promised about sentee leadership.” By presenting him- #if in person thus, and announcing his purpose tc remein continuously all of four months, Mr. McLean will try to break the effect durirg the campaign of his perma- nent residence in Washington. The time geems short for the object in view, but im the circumstarces 1: is all that can be commanded. The contest is of very great moment to the republicans. If they lose the home of the President and of Mr. Hanna, with Mr. Hanna himself a personal quantity in the fight, in eight months after the return of dhe party to power, the effect will neces- warily be felt all over the country. ——__ +e —___ A Good Example. Secretary Bliss has set an excellent ex- ample to the Senate through his method of dealing with the insatiable Sugar Trust. His approval of the contract for sugar for Indian supplies, recently awarded to a for- eign firm because it bid the lowest figure, against the Trust, stands for honesty of administration, and is a refreshing con- trast to the subservient attitude assumed towards the Trust by some of those charged with the business of legislaticn. —__ +e —__ ‘There is a genera] readiness to concede that the democratic party still exists. The difficulty is as to identification. ——_-+ee Shall the Parallel Be Completed? This is the day for tracing parallels, and some of them are instructive. The dem- cratic party, after its phenomenal success fm 1892 upon a speci“ic platform as to the tariff, “fell down” lamentably with its legislation on the subject, and not only brought about its own disruption and de- feat, but bequeathed to the country the present heritage of wo. The republican party has been returned to power upon quite as specific purposes as to the tariff, and now confronts; he choice of carrying out its promises and instructions, or vio- lating them and plunging with a good deal of certainty to the deuce. Which course will it take? The tariff plank of the democratic plat- form adopted in 1892 called fer an anti- protection revision of the McKinley tariff law. Protection vis denounced as the sum of all economic evils. The democracy, if restored to power, would root it out, and give the country a low tariff law instead. ‘The democracy won. But with what re- sult? The platform was violated in the most open manner. A new tariff bill, stuffed with protection—only the rates were wretchedly bungled—was brought in and propped up by a provision for an in- come tax. Nothing had been heard of an income tax in the nationg] campaign, but here ft was, and those in charge of the bill gave Congress the choice between accept- ing the bill with the income tax included or going without. Congress swallowed the dose, the Supreme Court knocked out the income tax, and the tariff bill as a revenue producer collapsed. Having been | con- structed to carry the income tax, It could not meet the ends expected without it. The tariff plank of last year’s republican platform called for a revision of the Gor- man-Wiison bill which would accord ample protection to American labor and all Amer- ican industries. That, it was insisted, would give the government plenty of money to live on, and at the same time re- vive business and prosperity. The republi- cans, upon this proposition, won, and the House of Representatives passed a tariff bil which fully and properly redeemed the pledge upon which the party had been re- turned to power. That bili carried revenue enough to support the government, and ad- equate protection to American labor and to American industries. But a subcommittee of the Senate Finance Committee has taken this bill, and by cutting down thc protec- tion rates in many of the schedutes made room for an additional tax. on beer, addi- tional favors for the Sugar Trust, and a tax on tea. Without those features it ts estimated that the bill as amended will not | 1211 F Street. yield revenue enough by from thirty to| % rashtonable Boots & Shocs for Ladies & Men. fifty millions.

Does any republican Senator believe that if last year's campaign had been made on the basis of the amended Dingley bill the republican party would have won, even against free silver? Who heard, then, any- thing about an additional tax on beer or additional favors for the Sugar Trust, or about an invasion of the “free breakfast table,” which, for years, has been the boast of the republican party? The fight was won on increased protection, and not on in- creased iniernal revenue, and any hugger- mugger which succeeds now in changing that will cost the republican party, de- servedly, the respect of the country.

It is that all small fish, when caught, should be thrown back into the water as soon as they are released from the hook. The wisdom of such a course should be at once apparent to every man who enjoys the keen pleasure and healthy recreation that fishing affords, and if there was a gener2l determination to follow it the sport In the future would be vastly improved because the fish would increase in numbers and in size and thus afford anglers more and bet- ter opportunities to show their skill and enjoy the pastime.

They have totally joe cana profits and costs in marking the balance so they'll go in a hurry. They have gone right through the whole stock of woolen stuffs and, not excepting a single gar- ment, have put prices on them that border on ridiculousness— that bear no relation to value. They have put skirts in a lot at 9 8s that have never in a single sea- son before been known to sell for so little. They have put in this lot novelty check skirts of many sorts and many colors, which sold for as high as $3 a month ago. And all of these skirts are well made—rustle lined and velvet bound. They have put suits in a lot at $4.98 —that have never before even at the end of a season sold for so little. They have included suits of serge, broadcloth, vi- 4 cuna—all colors and all the styl- 3 ish effects—which sold up to $9. This offering will cap the climax, and no matter what others print—none will show you such suits as these for so ¢ little, for it takes more nerve than they've got to do such sac- rificing. é Think of a fine Foulard China ° 2 2 silk shirt waist for $ 1 -98, with detachable white linen col- $ lars and cuffs—made_gener- ously full and with double pointed yoke backs. It has 4 been left to Hecht’s to of- % fer such values—to do such loss-selling. f But “there’s method in such % madness.” It’s a rule of Hecht’s 3 to never carry over any stock from one season to another. They didn’t do it last season— they won't do it this year. Hecht’s have done remarkable % buying in crash suits and skirts. The buying was done for six Hecht stores, and that’s what put the psices down. A lot of ladies’ linen crash skirts — deep hems — proper width—go for 89:: Is there the least doubt in your mind who sells ladies’ muslin underwear for the least? The values Hecht’s have been offering all season have opened the eyes of other stores—have set the town agog—have placed Hecht’s name on every wo- man’s tongue. Drawers and corset covers CAN be made to sell for 14c., but no such handsomety lace and embroidery trimmed corset covers—no such fine muslin drawers with clusters of tucks as these have ever been made to sell for less than 29c., and it’s due to Hecht’s enterprise that they’re put in your way at each. Hecht’s made their reputa- tion for selling best shirt waists cheapest last season. It stood them in good stead this season, and it is safe to say no store has sold so many shirt waists as they. No less than twelve immense shipments have been disposed of—any one of which contained more waists than many good size stores have bought this season. Two lots now that ought to have your attention. 29° waists that are worth up to 75c.. waists that are worth h upto $1.50: Mothers of bo boys! You know what you’ve been paying others for “Mother’s Friend” shirt waists for boys. You know that a dollar is the price the world over for the celebrated waists, which have patent bands from 3 which the buttons cannot be % torn, yet Hecht’s offer them —the very finest—of the finest Sea Island percale—for 4 c. each. Hecht’s credit system makes 3 buying easy. Everybody who can keep a promise may take advantage of it. It’s left with you how much care to pay weekly or monthly.
