WASHINGTON, D. G..

The EVENING STAR, ION Saturdays double
sheet or eight page paper OF fifty-six columns,
the size OF the New York dailies), Is everywhere
recognized as the leading newspaper OF Wash
1ngton. With two exceptions only, it has the
largest circulation Of any daily paper published
south Of Neeo York, AND MORE THAN DOUBLE
THAT OF ANY OTHER PAPER IN THE CITY.
Every issue of THE STAR is carefully read
not only by the citizens Of Washington and adj
jacent Cities but by the throngs Of strangers
constantly visiting the National Capital On
business or for pleasure, (and who constitute,
In very large degree, the purchasing popula-
ton of every State and Territory In the Union),
thus making it for most purposes
THE BEST ADVERTISING MEDIUM IN THE
UNITED STATES.
Its influence as an agent of publicity has in
deed practically no limit within the boundaries
of the country. The best evidence of this is the
number Of new advertisements it printed in the
year 1879, which reached 20, 1896, averaging
from 1. 200 to 1900 per month in the busy
season.! These figures include only the sub
ject OF the advertisement, and not any change
OF the NATTER which, In some instances Is made
daily, and, although new advertisement in
fact. is not counted but once instead of 80 pup-
LEGATION dates. The advertising books are open
to the inspection of advertisers to verify this
statement or an affidavit of It's truthfulness
will be submitted.

The Republican Candidates.

II. o. Democrat.
Although they took rather un
expected direction, the nominations
made by tine Chicago convention
! reflect pretty accurately the dOmi
nant sentiment of the Republican
party. Gen. Garfield is in every
sense a typical Republican. He has
long been conspicuous as an expos
nent of the most pronounced hos
tIlity TO the South, was one of the
visiting statesmen in 1S76-77. and
figured as signer of the subse-
quent IepOrt-a document remark
able for its bitterness and misrep-
resentatiOn. Ag a member of the
famous 8 to7 commission, he sus-
tanned his part in the plot to de-
fraud the people of the legitimate
fiuits of the election of 1876.
Gen. Arthur is mere creature
of ConkIing's New York machine.
He was 0usted from the New York
custom house by the operation of
Hayes civil service reform, and is
now nominated to the Vice-Pres>
idency, in testimony, We presume,
of the affrctiOnate respect in which
Hayes is held by his party.
Our readers no doubt remember
the disgraceful revelations touch-
ing the DeGOIyer paving contract,
in which Gen. Garfield occupied so
prominent and unenviabIe a place.
1t was shown on that occasion that
Gen. Garfield's law firm, while he
WIS Il member of Congress and
chairman of the Appropriation
Committee, accepted fee from the
paving company, and that he advo-
Gated the company's claims before
the committee both with his speech
es aud his vote. For this, it was
his firm received $4,000.
No less conspicuous was his adj
vocacy of the Union Pacific Rail-
road interests, and his alleged con-
nectiOn with the Credit MObilier
scheme. Gen. Garfield denied all
with the Credit Mobilier,
but the committee of investigation
reported that he had agreed with
AmeS TO take shares, and that Ames
actually raid over dividends to him
on account of the same.
1t is true that GaIfield's nomina> !
ton was the result of a crisis in |
which it became necessary to COM
bine upon "daIk horse" and some
hing may therefore be set down to |
.he hurry and the emergency. Per
baps it may also be conceded that
he Republicans could not well have
iound a candidate upon whose rec
,rd no ugly blots were to be seen.
The Democrats, therefore, have
'nly to select a standard bearer
Who represents their principles and
PRACTICES AS faithfully as Gen. Gar
ield does those of the Republicans,
n order to present to the country
n eloquent and irresistible cons
rast. We need only to meet har-
noniously, act wisely, aud the vie
ory in November Is ours. }

The CITIZENS 5 representative who
visited Chicago at the time of the
Republican National Convention,
desires to express his thanks for
courtesies received at the hands of
the following friends, whose kind
Offices we stand ready TO recipro

First and foremost, to our fast
friend and brother in the craft, Mr..
Edward GentZler, Of the Daily
Ns,cs, who placed his entire time
at our disposal, and did so much to
make us feel at home and to Mrs.
Washburne of the Tribune office,
whose cousiderate attentions in
showing us the magnificent parks
and other attractions of the great
city, will long be remembered
among the most pleasing features
of our visit.
MIR. A dair, the efficient foreman
of the Ne,os Office, though very
much engrossed by pressure Of
business, took the time to conduct
us through the steIeotyping rooms,
and to explain this most interesting
branch of modern fast printing.
Mr.. Adair, though quite a young
man, stands deservedly high among
his craftsmen, and is the Markings

ernor of Illinois.
We met several old acIuaint-
ances, with whom we used to

past-Messrs. Streeter, Connors,
Kelley, Dennis, Jacobs, and others.
In all tho large Offices of Chicago,
we found number of lady compos>
ifors, whose energy and independ-
ence are an honor to their sex, and
whose modest demeanOr aud amia~
ble conduct exert a refining aud
influence upon their fell
ow workmen.
On our return we stopped In
Memphis and paid pleasant visit
to the AUaldnche office-where we
formed the acquaintance of its able
and enterprising editors-Major
better known as the Old
Man, who vanquished yellow fever
by his irrepressib'e joax and Capt.
Ricketts,, one of the most promising
Young journalists of the South. IN
ler their control the AUalanche is a
highly intere sting and spicy paper,
and that's why we miss it so all>
firedly from our exchange table.

The world Is full of wonders to every
one who has not made up his mind to be
astonished at nothing he may see. To
the thoughtful mind there Is much in
nature TO inspire wonder and admira-
ton. The wise adaptation of means to
ends, and the beautiful harmony that
exists throughout all the realm of organic
nature, lead the mind, free from bias, to
the inference that some wise, intelligent
power orders and governs all these rela-
tons and harmonies. Perhaps nowhere
In nature is there q more manifest ex-
hibition of wisdom In the adaptation of
means to the accomplishment of .
worthy purpose, than is seen in the va
rious methods employed by nature for
the dissemination of plants by the dis
tribution of seeds.
In looking at this subject with an in
teiligent eye, the mind can not shut out
the conviction that some intelligent de-
signer must have been employed in
planning this scheme that has 50 much

The First Appearance Of the Yankee,
In Santa Fe.

The first American who seems to
have penetrated to New Mexico was
James Pursley-an adventurous fur
trader who found his way up the Arkan-
sas, travelled extensively through the
mountains of what is now Colorado.
and finally worked his way down to
Santa Fe, where he went to work as
carpenter, growing rich through high
wages, but suffering always feeling Of
restraint. An occasional Frenchman
had appeared but Pursley (who, by-the-
way, Is credited with being the first in
telligentiman who discovered gold in
the Rockies) was the sole citizen of the
United States who was there to welcome
the immortal Pike when, on that bleak
March day in 1906, he unwillingly
tramped into Santa Fe at the head of his
Falstaffian band, hatless, bootless, and
trouseriess through years campaign
ing on the plains and in the mountains.
The Mexicans were greatly alarmed
by this sudden realization of the prox-
unity Of the progressive and well armed
Yankees, and their CONSERVATION re-
suited very unhappily for the few leaders

should overwhelm the effete rule Of

IN THE TREASURY BUILDING,
If you are particularly favored, they will
allow you to hold two million dollar
package of greenbacks two seconds, and
afterward try your strength ON q thou
sand-dollar bag of silver dollars. By
this you get . good practical idea Of the
comparative convenience of metal vs..
paper currency. From IL q. m. to 2
p. m. the halls of the Treasury swarm
with visitors, inspecting the process Of
making money. Usually they came out
about as much enlightened as when
they went in, if not much more mysti-
fed. It is all very interesting, of
course, and up stairs, where men and
women are printing money and revenue
stamps, it is very hot, close and UNI
comfortable, to say nothing, If you are
. woman, of the strong chances
in the narrow passages of
having your dress creased from
contact with the working clothes of the
employees brushing past, or possibly
more or less dyed green from collisions
with greenback-dyers who, with barred
arms and hands smeared to the elbows
with q rich accommodating green,
may be seen by the employees lunch
counter eating their cake and drinking
their coffee from white cups, bearing
the impress of their green-dyed thumbs
and fingers. Each swarm of visitors is
in charge of Treasury guide, who ex-
plains, or tries to, the working of the
machinery and the various Department..
He has q difficult task. The patches of
visitors get mixed up with each
other or they stay away out of his sight,
and he is frequently obliged to hunt
them up, being responsible for the num-
Der placed in bis charge. The groups
are counted on going in and coming out
of the engraving and printing depart
ment lest some deceitful and desper.
ately wicked human heart should be left
to rummage about among haf-made
money and bank-note plates. There is
the "Bond-room," too. Millions on
millions here of securities from our 2, 900
National banks. Naught after all but
cardboard boxes holding q few sheets
of printed paper. The modern Mann
mon is but paper god after all. You
may mold him in silver and gold, but he
is most powerful on paper.

SCHOOL AND CHURCH.

Methodist Church in Texas re-
ports so, 400 members, 759 local preach
ers, 537 churches, and 1856 pastors.
The Danielites is the latest English
sect. Its members promise to abstain
from fish, flesh, and fowl, from beer,
wines, and liquors, and from snuff and
tobacco. They must maintain vege-
table diet.
Christ will come and the millennium
begin in September, 1881, according to
the calculations of the Rev. Mr.. Rounds.

has devoted seven years to figuring out
the matter on chart 260 feet long.
The Superintendent of Public Edu-
cation of Louisiana is much displeased
with the action of the Legislature in FIX
ing tax of only one mill for the sup
port of common schools. He considers
the people of the State able to pay tax
of three mills, and claims that this rate
is needed to maintain the schools.
The Jesuits are reported to have
concluded that the French Ministry will
enforce the laws against religious
orders, and already instructions have
been given by the Superior Of the Order
to all members who are not of French
birth to leave the country. Spain and
Belgium are the places where they will
seek refuge.
1t is singular fact that very little
is known regarding John Harvard, the
founder of Harvard College. He was an
Englishman, came to this country and
died in Charleston, Mass, Sept. "a,
1858. He left f700 to found a college.
A monument to his memory was erected
in the burial ground at Charlestown by
the alumni Of the college, and inaugu-
rated Sept. 26, 1928, with an address by
Edward Everett. At the suggestion Of
the Rev. DIR. George E. Ellis, the late
Hon, James Savage once offered 31O0a
line for five lines about John Harvard,
and got no information.

phia have been discussing the question,

The minister of Christ is not the head

the public entertainer does not draw he
is failure. Not so with the preacher.
He may have small following and yet
do great good" Another said that the
preachers who attracted the largest
congregations were by no means the
most influential; another thought that
preachers had weakened themselves by
meddling with politics; and another re-
marked: The inveterate tendency on
the part of the press to hold Christian
sentiment up to ridicule, and to attack
the character of the ministry, has had
much to do in making US lose our
power"
