The bill providing for bronze statue of
Columbus to be placed at the west front Of the
Capitol grounds at the intersection of First
street and Pennsylvania avenue might well be
merged into something greater still as a me-
mortal Of Columbus and the Discovery of
America. Some mark of the appreciation of
the great italian which all Americans feel and
which they have waited too long to express is
justly due. The Senate has passed the bill
which appropriates $4,000 for the bronze
statue. Whatever shape the memorial may
take aud whatever location in the capital NAV
be decided by Congress to be most suitable for
it, prompt attention should be given to the
matter in order that the work may be well con-
sidered and completed before the quadricen-

The cause Of ballot reform ia mora I.

The cause Of ballot reform is more is
danger from swindling substitutes than from
open opposition. The men most to be feared
are those who say: I'VE are reformers too,
out We want to change the phraseology, let Us
provide for this another way" Give them the
chance, and they will defeat the measure while
pretending to carry it out. 1t is the word Of
promise to the ear broken to the hope. case
in point is the bill reported in the Maryland
legislature 10 effect nominally a secret and
honest ballot. One Of the worst features Of
this bill il the provision for separate official
ballots for each party. On the Australian or
the Massachusetts, ballot is printed alphabetic-
ally the list of all the candidates for particu-
lar Office and the voter has no trouble in
scratching out or marking in any name accord
ing to the regulation. The plan of having the
names grouped in parallel columns, recon-
mended by the Business Mems Association of
Baltimore, is sufficient departure from the
original scheme. The new Maryland idea re-
quires the voter who wishes to scratch his
ticket or to make an independent ticket to
write out the name or names OF
candidates he may desire to substi-
tute upon the ballot he wishes to vote.
The effect Of this upon the illiterate voter is
obvious. by his effort to write the names in
which he has to employ assistance, he
informs the party boss that he is not voting
the straight ticket. The separate official bal
lot for each party with the envelope for the
same, and the inadequate screen provided in
the proposed law, make it obnoxious to criti-
cism. The measure should be moulded into
different shape by the true friends of ballot
reform.

Gentlemen.
In calling attention to our Mems Furnishing
Department do SO knowing We were never in
better position to fill your many wants In
establishing this branch of the business, twelve
years ago, we thoroughly understood the dsad-
vantages to be overcome. BY always having in
stock full variety Of the latest novelties and
charging lower prices than usually prevailing
we have 80 far overcome difficulties that we
6atter ourselves that today We have one of the
largest Mems Furnishing Goods business in
Washington. First to call your attention to the
NECKWEAR DEPARTMENT. From the LIST
Of September to the 25th Of December. 1889,
our neckwear sales were s7,242, and our books
are here to prove this statement. No doubt you
will ask how We do SO much business. 1t 10
simply thia; we sell for 80 and 44c. the same
scarfs in every respect as charged elsewhere
so cents.
In our HOSIERY DEPARTMENT our spe-
cialty has been guaranteed Fast Black Half
Hose being tie first house in this city offering
to refund the purchase money should the dye
turn in washing or In wear. Not only the guar
antee but the price has been instrumental in
increasing the sales to the pre- ent enormous
proportions. With confidence ask comparison
of our 25c. Black Hose with the 35c. goods
Of the exclusive furnishing trade. For this
season We introduce Meps' Fast Black Isle
Hose with improved Silk Finish; we show them
III plain and drop stitch, and, to make a boom the
price is Soc. or 3 for 81. These are SOC. quality
Socks and the reason able to offer them
at this popular price is that orders were given
nine months in advance and the goods made to
our special order. In Unbleached and Fancy
Spring Hose our stock Is complete. Prices for
Unbleached 21&, 25, .35 and so cents; in Fancy
25. 30 and 90 cents
Our UNDERWEAR DEPARTMENT is our
pet department and why 1t has gained this
name We are unable to say without it
Is the extraordinary bargains that we have
offered from time to time. Twelve years
ago. in buying underwear, we would say: "Give
me 10 dozen Of this or that" now it is-"what
is your lowest price for cases of this or that
and then, ~ will give you SO much for 5 cases."
An illustration Of such purchase is Dr. War
ner's Spring Weight Underwear that we are
Offering at Sl.49. also the Silk Finished Aus
tralian Wool Endorsements at 81 and that
Superfne Merino Underwear at SOC.
SHIRT DEFARTMENT.-The Palais Royal
Shirt is now 30 perfect that should you buy one
We are certain of your future trade; and why
should we not be? Where else can you buy
for eighty five cents a shirt cut Oh improved
pattern, made Of Wpmsutta Muslin, 2,10o
Irish Linen Fronts and Cuffs, reinforced and
handmade button-ho.es; the fit guaranteed or
purchase money REFUNDED. Night Shirts we
have from SOC. to S2.75. An extra number to
which We call attention is our 50c Fancy
values not to be equaled.
