water pouring on 1t all the time. The grind
stone wears of the tibers until they are finer

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
fngton. With two exceptions only, it has the
largest circulation Of any daily paper published
south Of Netc 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 ad-
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, 1876, averaging
from LOO to 1900 per month in the busy
season!! These figures include only the sub
ject OF the advertisement, and not any change
Of the matter, which, in some instances, is made
daily, and. although a new advertisement in
fact is not counted but once, instead of $40 pup.

There Is great deal OF talk about an early
adjournment OF Congress, and many OF the
members no doubrar anxious to bring 1t about.
but 1t all ends in talk. AT the present rate
OF progress the business that Is absolutely
necessary cannot be disposed OF In less than
two months. 1t will require the very hardest
work In order TO be ready for adjournment
within month; and congressman do not seem
disposed to work hard in this warm weather
The Senate, as usual. adjourned over last Satur-
day, an evidence that the upper branch of
Congress Is not stirred by any fit OF industry
looking to an early adjournment. We may
therefore count pretty confidently upon having
Congress with US on the 4th OF July; and IL
really ought not adjourn before that time
even then. There Is much important business
to be done that requires both time and thought,
and 1t Is the duty, as it should be the pleasure
OF both houses, TO have all bills properly ma
fured before passage, irrespective OF so-called
personal comfort, and without regard to the
clamors OF interested partisans. AS a matter
OF fact, the interests OF The country would be
better cared for in every way II Congress re-
manned in perpetual session, or practically that,
and to that it must come at no very distant
day.

1t is now evident that the Chicago convention
viii be called upon for decision with regard to
the enforcement OF the unit rule. The C1ncin-
natl convention. in 1876, sustained by q small
majority decision OF Chairman Mcpherson
against the enforcement of the rule or rather to
the effect that each delegate might vote as he
pleased. II is claimed by some that this decision
Is binding upon the coming convention, but the
general View Is that 1t was only binding upon
that body and that the only force ii can have
In the coming convention is one of precedent
The Grant managers, If they continue their
fight for the eN-PreSident, will naturally seek to
have the unit rule enforced In order to accom-
plish this they must have majority of the dele
gates II they have the majority victory is theirs
regardless OF the unit rule, but its enforcement
would swell their vote by requiring the Blaine
delegates from New York and Pennsylvania to
vote for Grant; and, aside from the importance
OF giving him as large vote as possible, Sen
atOrs COnkling and Cameron Will De anxious to
compel the delegations from their respective
states 10 obey the orders issued by the state
conventions. break in these delegations at
Chicago will be defiance of the COnkling and
Cameron machines and would weaken the
power OF these two bosses, WHILE on the other
hand, If they can compel obedience to their
orders the effect will be to strengthen their
power In their respective states.
