THE question Of the early closing of stores In
Washington Ia one which can only be settled per-
manently by the shoppers, and not 10y the shop
keepers or their employees. The Interest OF the
merchants and their clerks Is mutual. What Injuries
the business OF the former must react unfavorably
upon the latter. Both are Interested in early clos
ing, provided business is not injured thereby. We
believe In time that the community at large will be-
come accustomed to doing It's shopping by or before
O'Clock. But II from the peculiar condition Of
affairs In this city arising out OF the great number OF
Government employees here, who cannot get away
from their desks before O'Clock, 1t should happen
that closing at O'Clock would decrease the sales OF
our merchants, their clerks would be injnrlously
affected. It is case for experiment and mutual
fOrbearance. Thepublc can be coa1ed, but scarcely
driven into the change OF long established habit.

Because fagrant wrongs have been COM
mitted upon the people by granting
patents for inventions is no good reason
why the whole system should be repealed,
as desired by Congressman Lore, who has in
troduced bill for that purpose. What
the Patent Office needs is Commissioner
who will administer the system in the inter-
est Of the general public. The present Com.
missioner fills this bill. Ifany fraud or favor
itism is practiced by any Of his subordinates it
is safe to say that he will cause it to be speedily
corrected. To enable him to do so Congress
should pass an act providing simple code
of procedure for setting aside patents OBJ
tanned through fraud or issued through error
or inadvertency. The House has twice
passed such bill, but the Senate has as
often pigeon-holed it.

In his arms death found her iyoe, in his arms her
spirit ned;
And his tears came down in torrents as he knet be-
side her dead.
Never once his love had faltered through her base
unhallowed life:
And the stone above her ashes bears the honored
name Of Wife,
That's the blossom fan would pluck to-day from
the garden above her dust;
Not the languorous lily OF soulless sin nor the blood
red rose of lust;
But sweet white blossom OF holy love that grew In
the one green spot
In the arid desert OF Phryne's life, where all was
parched and hot.

When the Coinage act of 1873, which
dropped the silver dollar of 4l2t grains out
of the coinage system OF the United States,
was under discussion, Mr.. Hooper, of
Massachusetts,. who had the bill in charge,
gave as the reason for so doing that 1t could
not circulate concurrently with the gold
"coins" because the silver dollar was
"worth intrinsically about one dollar and
"three cents in gold" Now the advocates
for the retirement of the 4l2.-grain silver
dollar base their reasoning for demonetizing
it upon the assertion that it cannot circulate
concurrently with gold because it is worth
intrinsically twenty cents less. That is to
say, the very class OF men who then advocated
the payment of bonds in gold coin because it
was cheapest now advocate their payment
in gold because ii is dearest

The snappish comparison made by Senator
Edmunds between President Cleveland and
Charles /. has met with the universal con-
demnatior il deserved, but its most glaring
sophistry does not seem to have been pointed
out. II was certainly not with the House
OF Lords that Charles !. had his fatal quarrel,
but with the House of Commons, the repre-
sentatiyes Of the people. The American
House Of Commons is in sympathy with the
President, who Is, like its members, the
choice of the majority. 1t is the American
Lords, (money lords,) representing minority
party, that are rebelling against the func-
tions Of the Chief Magistrate. Students Of
history will moreover be reminded that when
the English Rump Parliament had sltoget her
got rid Of the legitimate Executive, as repre-
sented by the King, the next swing of the
pendulum brought IN Cromwell, who drove
the members out Of their hall with file OF
soldiers, and spurned the mace as "fool's
"bauble." There is no safety to either the
legislative or the executive departments of
the Government but in keeping each care
fully within its sphere, neither arrogating
nor yielding a single jot Of right.
