Advice To AdyerfIser

Inc cptn4fted Republican has adopted the
pIacuce OF publishing authentic statements
OF the extent OF its circulation. We have
often urged that all the newspapers should
adopt this plan. 1t is the only way In which
advertisers can be made sure that their mo-
ney is not taken from them on false pre-
fences. There are scores of newspapers
which have no circulation worth speaking
OF, and In which advertisements are merely
loss Of money. The advertising public,
however. have no means of discriminating
between papers which have large circula-
ton and those which have very little. If adj
yertiseTs would agree to advertise in no pa
per that does not publish sworn statements
as TO It's circulation they would fnt IL rs
mt Oh 10 their advantage as would the pa
pers which could prove the possession OF n
large list of suoscTibers.-t Ne1C York Graphic.
Recognizing the force of the above, we
have adopted the sensible, business-like
practice suggested, and a sworn statement
OF the regular bona fde circulation of The
EVENING STAR appears at the head OF this
column. The figures large as they are, 81 NJ
ply represent the normal, average circula-
tiOn of THE STAR, mainly amongst regular
subscribers. We believe that It is no exag-
geration TO claim that It is a very much
larger circulation than that of all the other
Washington papers united. II Is also within
bounds to assert that the circulation of TIE
STAR is not only exceptional amongst after
noon papers, but that in proportion % the
area Of population reached, 1t is the largest
OF sny daily paper, morning or evening, in
the ecurtry.
1t is curious fact that when THE STAR
came into its present hands in October, 1861,
its circulation (Of about 6,O0g) was consid-
cred so exceptionally large that many sup
posed IL could not be Increased, even II il
could be maintained, under the anticipated
shrinkage Of the population and business
brought here by the war; but the result shows
that The STAR has gone on steadily gaining
circulation, year by year, until 1t has reached
point nearly three times higher than that
considered high water mark for a Washing
ton paper in 1867. This demonstrates not
only the Wide popularity OF the paper, but
also that an intelligent reading population
has been growing up here in due proportion
with the notable material grow "a of the CITY
within the last half dozen years.
1t does not seem to US that the facts aud
figures set forth above in regard 10 THE
STAR need any elaboration. They speak for
themselves, and with convincing force to all
business men and other advertisers seeking
to reach the largest number Of readers.

The thing most dreaded by the big ice COM
panies north, paradOxIcal as II may seem, is
"cold snap that closes tile rivers and
lakes and gives them an opportunity of in-
creasiDg their supplies, because lower prices
follow. A dispatch states that propeller
has run into winrow of ice two feet thick
on the Hudson. This Goes not look like the
threatened ice famine. and is bad news for
the bulls in CONCEALED water.

Members OF Congress have doubtless been
made acquainted with the fact that seven or
eight hundred needy females In Washington
have been placed, many OF them, on the
ragged edge OF starvation By being thrown
out Of employment by the closing OF the
Bureau OF Engraving and Printing. Not a
cay passes but hundreds ofthese unYc T ,unates
are at the capitol interceding with the Men,
bers for the privilege OF working for their
daily bread The best interests OF the gov
eminent would be suoserved by the Tesump-
tion Of full work by the bureau In question.
This fact Congress should recognize by the
necessary legislation and thus, while pro-
moting the interests OF the government do a
charitable act at the same time by furnish
ing employment to hundreds OF needy and
deserving PERSONS.

1t is believed the Senate Judiciary Com
mittee will take no action on the communi-
cation OF General Beauregard relative to
amnesty, since they do not look upon il In
the light ofa petition. The circumstances OF
the case seem to justify such a conclusion.
General Il. has never asked Congress for
amnesty. He did, however, write to Senator
Gordon, saying that his friends desired him
tospply for amnesty, In order that he might
be enabled To hold some Office in Louisiana
Probably when he applies TO Congress in
proper form his request will be granted.

The Lam Journal suggests that there ought
to be uniform law of marriage and divorce
throughout the United States. The courts,
II says, are powerless TO remedy the discrep.
ancy and diversity OF decisions In the
various states. And IL Is indeed becoming
more and more pertinent question, "wao
Is married and who is not?"

The yexed Indian question received an
airing I'm the Senate during the present week.
The discussion arose on an Amendment
offered by Mr.. Window to q bill conferripg
exclusive jurisdiction over Indian reserva
ttons upon the United States courts, and for
the punishment OF crimes COMMITTED by and
against Indians. The amendment. of Mr..
WINDOW excerpts from the operations Of the
act the Black Hills country, now Occupied
by from twelve hundred to two thousand
gold hunters. Mr.. Window contends that
the Sioux themselves have violated the
Treaty made with them in 1868, by which IL
was stipulated that the government should
iced them for four years only. The govern
ment has done more than il agreed TO, having
apprOpl iated from Il 200 coo to sI5OO oOO
every year since towards their support.
while the Indians have violated the treaty
by not becoming self supporting, and threat
ening war unless they are maintained in
idleness by the government. This view of
the matter did not meet the concurrence OF
many Senators, who he'd that the country
Is bound by every principle of honor to make
fair az d just laws 70 punish unlawful fnya-
Son of territory ceded by solemn treaty to the
Indians forever. Mr. Edmunts regarded the
Invasion OF the Black Hills as sheer a case of
lawless violence OF the most selfish kind as
ever occurred in the history OF a nation,
while Mr.. morrill,, Of Maine, was convinced
that nothing would save the Indians from
extinction except the shield of the law be
thrown over them. Mr.. Oglesby went far
ther and would extead to the Indian the high
privilege Of American citizenship. THAT"
said he, sis the solution; that Is the policy;
that is the way ii must end, or IL will end in
ruin or heartless extlrpation. 1 will not dip
my fingers in that blood, Mr.. President.
Let us bury the past with the toma-
hawk; let US extend the warm hand OF greet
ing TO our ancient and venerable enemy of
the plains, and ask him If he will not come
In, ratify all the constitutional amendments,
and stand up with us in the onward march
to that glorious Modification in which every
man shall be pOtentate and nobody shall
be a subject"

II Is stated that appropriate committees
on the Part OF the Senate and House have
agreed To recommend Q reduction OF the sal

num- This is al should be. While they are

the way OF reducing salaries IL Is bat meet
that they should make q corresponding re-
duction IN their own.
