The season Of the year has come when
people purchase most heavily-when CLOTH
ing and carpets and furniture and other
necessaries have, whenever possible to be
acquired. The amount of money spent for
these purposes by the people of the District
of Columbia is, in the aggregate, an as
toundin8ly large sum, but 1t may truth
fully be stated that at no time In the his
tory of the country has the purchaser ever
oeen able to obtain 50 much for the money
spent as is freely offered at this time
Years ago, when washington's streets were
muddy and her buildings discreditable-in
short. before there was anything like gen.
eral appreciation Of the greatness that
should attach to the national capital-a
large number Of Washingtonians were wont
to make pilgrimages, principally to Balti-
more or Philadelphia, for the purpose Of
buying such dress material and house fur
aishings as they needed. At that time there
undoubtedly was some financial advantage
to the purchaser who journeyed to the
places named. but that advantage Is no
longer possible. Today there are In this
city some Of the brightest business men
the country knows: clever buyers, keen
competitors. wide-awake, honest. These
men have built UP large establishments, and

Philadelphia has a grievance. 1t has been
slighted, or imagineS it has been sighted
which is the same thing-by Secretary La
mont, and through the medium of the Phil
adelphia Press makes complaint. That
paper says II Is rather curious that Sec
rotary of War Lamont, in his new order
as to the distribution of the military forces
Of the country should have overlooked Phil
adelphia as one OF the most eligible places
for the establishment of a military post"
The Press then goes on to state that Phil
adelphia Is the third city in the country in
point Of population, has unexceptional rail-
way facilities and Is one Of the leading
manufacturing centers Of the world, and
concludes its little homily by remarking:
TT would certainly be wise to establish
a military post here, and Mr.. Lamont
should supply the omission and make a
special order on the subject at once"
Now, Secretary Lamont Is entirely with
cut blame in this matter. He Is respon-
sible for very much that has been, and is
being done, by this administration-he is
the power behind the throne-but he GER
tainly did not snub Philadelphia in the
recent order transferring troops. Secretary
Lamont can do many things, either in his
capacity as Secretary of War or in that
other and perhaps greater capacity as Pres
ident Clevelands right hand, but he must
not arrogate to himself the powers of Con-
sress. 1t takes an act of Congress to es-
tablish a permanent military post, and
there must also be a sufficient sum Of
money appropriated to make the establish
Ing act effective, and until there is action
Of that sort by Congress. Secretary La
mont might promulgate nothing but special
orders during the remainder of his term
OF office and yet fail to do that which the
Philadelphia Press would like to have done.

Moved by a desire to do one of those
things demanded by public sentiment, tie
District Commissioners yesterday issued
an order which will. II Is hoped, speedily
result in the equipping with tenders Of all
street cars mechanically operated within
the District of Columbia. The authority
Of the Commissioners as to the issuing of
such an order Is unquestioned, Congress
having last month empowered the Com
missioners to do just what they have done.
The necessity for tenders on cable and
electric street cars has been demonstrated
many times by the killing and manning
OF persons who were. perhaps, careless,
but who. nevertheless. did not err SO griev-
ously as to deserve the punishment which
was meted out to them. While such unfor-
tunate occurrences az have aroused popular
resentment have been rare Of late there
continually exists a reasonably-fo
fear that other lives may at any moment
be sacrificed needlessly because street cars
are without a very necessary feature of
street-car equipment. Local street rail-
way companies have been severely criti-
cised for their apparent slackness in meet
ing a reasonable public requirement; they
have waited for the invention and promo
ton of the ideal fender-something that
should do everything required of 1t without
a single failure and at a minimum cost
and. as a matter of course, are still wait
ing. 1t may take many years to evolve
an exceptionable type of street-car fender,
but because that possibility exists II can
not be argued that equipment should be
delayed until perfection has been attained;
the companies owe 1t to themselves and
their patrons that the best available pat
tern shall be adopted and used until 1t is
evidently inferior to a later design, and
then the rev should succeed the old just
as the fender Is about to take the place
which Is now occupied by what Is practi-
cally no fender at all. 1t Is not antici-
gated that any of the companies imme-
diately interested in the COMMISSIONER
order will attempt to delay obedience there
to; good policy would suggest immediate
acquiescence. even were the order unsup-
ported by statute. The test provided for
In the order in question will be continued
until the Commissioners are satisfied and
then another order will be issued, by the
terms of which the various companies will
be required to attach the much-needed safe
guards to every car run upon their re-
spective roads. The complete equipment
should be FASTENED as much as possible.

CURSES BOOSTING At HOME

CURSES BOOSTING At HOME.
The Republicans of Missouri,
if dissatisfied with the politi-
cal outlook, must shudder
when they think how much
their leaders in the past are respon-
sible fer. Their party is servile
creature Of a small bat tyrannical
leadership, with none of the activity
and independence that are shown
elsewhere. It is nearly twenty
years since the people were freed
from the CALLING chains of recon
struction, test-oaths and oLher pro
seriptiye measures-long after there
was any excuse of military neces-
sity or local disorder The mem
Dry of that iron-clad bayonet rule
burns yet in the brains of the body
of the people, and shames the sue
eessors of those who applied It. Had
the Republicans. whilst in control,
wisely and honestly administered
that States affairs, they would now
be in position to stand up and con
tend for the mastery, even though
against many odds. They might
even, as respactS BILE min orty, be
able to impress the Legislature of
the State, and form a nucleus for
future combinations against the
Democracy But the Republican
party cannot escape from its dismal
regime of prescription and illiberal-
ity, its gag-laws and wrenching
processes, its enormous prodigality,
its gross mismanagement, its heavy
tax impositions and its general rec
ord of oppression. Wherefore, now
the Republicans may reflect that
curses are like young chickens, and
always come home TO roost.

SENATOR CAMDEN of West Vir-
ginia has had more than glimpse
of a great truth. He is coal baron
and member of a big anthracite
trust. But being brought to cover,
he now declares that the quality and
quantity of American coal are such
as to permit it to compete with the
product of any other country He
admits that the coal tariff reduction
has had no legitimate effect on the
price of mining, as no foreign coal is
competing with the Pennsylvania
and the West Virginia mines. Any
decline is due entirely to an over
stocked market Camden, in the
Senate, occupied about the same po-
sition as German relative to the
tariff, but the trend of public opin-
ion has shown him that private
greed must succumb to the general
good.

A DAUGHTER IS CRIME.
She Is Charged With Muir
dering Her Father.
HER HUSBAND ALSO IMPLICATED.

Evidence Gathered by Officers Shows
David Higgins Was Severely Abused
by His Child and Afterward Found
Dead-The Old Man Was Choked and
Baaten In Most Cruel Manner.
CHICAGO, Oct 23.-Dsvid Higgins, a
bricklayer, aged So years, living at 17S
Sangamon street, was found dead in his
room Sunday night. The circumstances
surrounding his death are so suspicious
that his son-in-law, Richard Stapleton,
and his daughter, Minnie, are being
held by the Desplaines police to await
the result of the co roners inquest.
The police say that stapleton made
this statement when arrested:
"My wife and her father have been
drunk for several days. Saturday morn
ing they had row in which Minnie
choked her pa. Alter she let him go, he
threw himself ON the cot and complained
of feeling sick. We went away and
when we returned Sunday night, found
him dead"
This story of Stapleton's does not CO.
incide with that told by T. NJ. Strong,
who owns the house in which Higgins
died. Strong AYERS that no penalty of
the law was severe enough to punish
Mrs. Stapleton and that her husband
was included in the same category.
Strong said:
"Five weeks ago old man Higgins
rented a room from me. A week ago
Richard Stapleton and his wife came to
occupy the same room with Higgins,
the woman being the old mans daugh-
ter. She is everything woman should
not be, her husband is not bit better
as a man. Saturday morning about
o'clock heard Higgins out in the hall.
| took him into my room and made q
bed for him on the sofa. He said he
was afraid Stapleton would kill him
and that his daughter choked him SO he
could not sleep. The next day turned
the Stapletons out. They returned
shortly after and have since abused the
old man shamefully."
Strong stated that the woman and
Stapleton were accustomed to beat and
choke the old man cruelty and the dead
mans face being almost unrecognizsble
from scars lends color that he was muir
dered by the couple.

Three Officers, Two Companions and Five
Citizens Required to Overpower Him.
New YORK, Oct. % Joseph Hendis-
chiere of Ingraham, Clay county, Illi-
nois, patient at the Pasteur institute
being treated for the bite of a rabid dog,
received seven months ago, WAS seized
with spasms in Central park Sunday
night and removed to the Presbyterian
hospital in park ambulance after
creating great deal of excitement In
the park. At the hospital he was
gagged to prevent his biting the attend
ants and straight jacket WAS put on
him. He was subsequently removed to
Bellevue, where he recovered partially.
He entered the park at the Sixty-third
street gate and stopped for drink at
the fountain in front of the arsenal. No
sooner had he drank than he began to
howl, bark and snap at his companions.
Park Policeman Schaffer, thinking the
man was intoxicated directed his friends
to remove him from the park. The
three went away and entered the Trans
verse road at Sixty-fifth street. AS
they walked along Hendischiere became
violent and snapped at his friends and
pedestrians whom he met. Park Police
man Devine. believing the maa insane
attempted to arrest him. Hendischiere
who is a powerful built man. struggled
and attempted to bite the policeman
who whistleI for assistance. Two eff
GERS responded. 1t took all three po-
licemen, Hendischiere's TWO companions
and five cit;z ms TO oyerpower him. The
park ambulance was summoned and
Handischiere was finally strapped in it
and taken away.
