ABOUT pepartment Stores.

Editor Times.-May crave space in your
columusto speak of a subject ofvitaliuteFest
to the business community of Washington?
The subject is the Department Stores"
Wein Washington havemore than ourshare
of these places of business where one can
buy anything from a pin to a locomotive.
In Springfield, H., according to your paper
of June 9Th, a special license was necessary
to permit them to underseu every business
man who was trying to make an honest
living by dealing in q legitimate bus
mess, and a fine was imposed on them
if they infriuged this license.
No such measures are taken here, and asa
result they are slowly but surely running
business men in Washington. Who can
expect to make a success of business if they
have to compete with five or sixlarge stores
who are continually underselling them?
The reader will probably say: Can not
you also sell your wares at the prices they
get? Be content with smaller gains
The reply TO that is simply this. We
cannot, because we are selling one or two
commodities and making fair, not ex-
orbitant profits on them, when they are
(under- lseIliug a thousand or more articles
and can naturally afford TO make small
profit ON each one.
1t were good for the business man OF
Washington if they would one ard all
combine toput do wn this outrageous method
of doing business They advertise the
best OF everything at ridicuIousIy low
prices-priees, in fact, lower than the re-
tail dealer can buy them for-and can easily
afford to sell them at starvation prices.
as they depend not on one or two articles
for their profit, but large number The
writer once saw a consignment of goods
being loaded on one of the wagons of one
of WashinGtons S largest dry goods stores.
Among the articles were the following:
A trunk, baby carriage, some stationery,
some odds and ends of leather goods, toys,
shoes, hats, and last (and least among
them) some dry goods, real dry goods,
such as dress materials, curtains, etc.
Fancy going TO the branch post-office and
asking for trunk, or to a grocery store
and inquiring for leather goods, or to a
harness store for stationery, or to one OF
our large printing offices and asking for

FORTHEPUBLICscHooLs.

The Times again desires to express its
thanks to the officials and teachers of
the public schools who have not only ex
pressed their warm encouragement and
approval OF the Forthcoming souvenir edi-
tion to be devoted to the interests of the
schools, but who are working enthusi-
astically to make it accurate, complete,
and effective.
Letters OF commendation continue to
pour in, not only from the teachers, but
from school authorities in other cities.
A number Of these latter VIII be published
in the school edition.
A letter received yesterday from Mr.
Il T Stuart, supervising principal of the
schools in the third division, and one of
the most efficient and respected educators
IN the District, perhaps better than any
wonis OF its own explains The Times
purpose in planning this edition. Mr..
Your announcement OF a asouvenir edition
OF the Washington Times, to be devoted ex-
clusively to the interests OF the public
schools Of the District of Columbia, meets
with my cordial approval
IF the public is not furnished in this
edition with the most complete statement
OF the history, growth, methods, needs
and possibilities of our Washington public
schools that has ever been put under one
cover, it VIII be because the trustees, super
intendents, supervisors and teachers do
not know any opportunity when they seeit.
lam glad TO See that you open your col
umns as freely to the humblest teacher
in the graded schools as to the highest
Official
This is most wise and liberal, and 1
am sure the responses made by the rank
and file Of the teaching corps viii justify
your confidence in them and enable you TO
give to the public more satisfactory view
OF our school system than could have
been obtained from the single standpoint
OF the school official. -

MERRY-Go-RoUNDs ANYWHERE.

Judge Kimball's s decision regarding merry
go-rounds, though no doubt in strict &C
cordance with the facts in the case. will
be rather a disagreeable surprise to the
community. 1t is in effect that under
existing laws, if person wants TO operate a
merry-go-round on any vacant lot, having
made the necessary arrangements with the
owner, and goes to the tax collectors
office, tenders the money for license,
and this is refused, he need not trouble
himself further, but set up his machine
and proceed TO business.
Complaints immune rable about merry
go-rounds in the public thoroughfares
have been made to the District Conmis
sioners. In rendering his decision yester-
day Judge Kimban laid emphasis upon a
statement that next to the saloon the
merry -go-round furnishes more cases for
the police court than any other cause.
Harmless as the institution is on picnic
grounds, giving innocent pleasure to the
little ones, it is a fact that In the
streets of a city it attracts the most unde-
sirable elements, and almost Immediately
becomes a nuisance to the neighborhood
where it is erected.
Apart from this aspect of the case,
| however, deteriorat ion of real estate
estate values is to be considered. For
renting purposes the houses adjoining or
near lot on which merry o-round is in
operation are greatly deprecated, be-
cause of the noise invariably associated with
it by the organ that furnishes the music
as Wen as by the people who patronize the
whirligig.
II is to be hoped that the Commissioners
may be able to find Some way out Of this
difficulty, and relieve qulet-Ioving people
of nuisance present and prospective.

Heartily Indorses The Times.

Editor Times: l have been in the gro
Gerry business for the past thirty years,
and am at present running the three largest
retail market stores in the city, namely,
633 E street southeast, 400 II street north
east, Ninth and Florida avenue north

about short weight bread has given the
public the impression that / do not do
legitimate business. Being a constant
reader of your paper, have taken quite an
interest in the way that you expose all
fraud, and heartily indorse it as the peo-
pies paper, and il should be in the home
of every one, especially the workingman
There is a law in the District governing
the weight of bread, which should be
rigidly enforced and / trust by your
assistance it viii be, and the fraudulent
ones punished. As / dispose of about
1000 loaves of bread a day it would be
impossible for me to weigh every loaf,
but since your issue I have found out to
a measure to be correct, and have acted
accordingly Trusting that you Will bring
this before the public in such a way that
they may exonerate me from all fraudulent
intention, am, very respectfully,

Music IN THE SCHOOLS.

The concerts TO lie given by the children
OF the public schools for the benefit OF
their library, to-day and tomorrow under
the directing influence of Mr.. William l..
Tomlins, will in a general way illustrate
the remarkable progress i'll voice culture
in the schools and point the Importance
and value of music for educational purposes
1t is interesting to observe the gradual
growth OF the love of music in children in
the public schools, and the development,
by almost imperceptible stages, OF their
underst anding and appreciation OF 1t.
Equally interesting it is TO note the re-
filming influence il has upon them. Chill
dren, almost without exception, love
music, and with most of them the acQuisi-
ton of a more intimate knowledge of it is
a labor of love which needs but little
stimulating on the part of the teacher.
There is, however, an even more prac-
tical side 10 this matter Singing is a
recreation for the children. InterHptiHS
the other and more exciting duties of the
school room several times during the day,
the children are infused with new spirit and
return to their tasks with increased ardor.
Ii is of physical value also, because it ex-
pands the lungs and brings into action the
muscles of the chest aud throat.
Best of all, its influence extends beyond
the school room, because the child carries
his school songs to his home aud there also
it finds new soil ON which to propagate
itself
The Washington times., 1895-06-06

be first in the estimation Of the humanely
inclined. Hard times have reduced many
OF them almost to penury, and because of
their influence as factors in the worlds
prosperity they should be foremost in the
hearts Of people In position TO render them
assistance. Working people are not re-
sponsible for the business depression, nor
are they TO blame for being out of employ
ment. Yet they are the principal sufferers
on account of their destitute condition,
and therefore are more worthy of Chris
tian attention than the criminal classes.
The third class-the immigrants-re-
ferred TO by Rev. Phillips might be safely
included with working people in their
need for public assistance. They are gem
orally wage-earners and cannot be sepa-
rated and classified independently. The
other classes can take care of themselves.
They belong to the sturdy, rugged people
who need only their independence TO
make place in the world, both for them
selves and their children. The progress
of this country is evidence of the handi-
work of the pioneers and their sons, the
back country farmers.

ANOTHER RAID BEGUN.

The Times this morning publishes several
illustrations OF the methods employed
by unscrrpulous money lenders to rob poor
people. They are OF such a nature as to
awaken sympathy for those who have
fallen into the clutches Of these petty shy
locks, and viii have the effect to partly
stop this villianous way Of making money.
This abuse, of lending money at usurious
rates OF interest, has become so prevalent
that number ofpeople are ma king fortunes
out of the misfortunes of the poor Of
Washington. 1t is a calling in which
human vultures thrive, aud with the sup
port of the public The Times win put an
end 20 their further depredatious.

ABOLISH THE NUISANCE.

Among other nuisances that afflct the
Washington public the rendering plant op-
posite the arsenal should be abolished. Sit
uated on a prominent point where its i'll
smelling stencil offends the senses of both
residents OF that locality and people who at
tempt pleasure trips on our beautiful river,
this aforementioned, disease-breeder calls
attention in an unsavory way to mistaken
order Of the District Commissioners.
Ifsuch place must exist for the final dis
poSal of defunct animals let it be removed
to some remote locality, where it cannot
endanger health and be the medium of
publishing its own unworthiuess. Every
person who passes up and down the river is
necessari the recipient of its un wholesome
smell, and consequently becomes an ardent
denunciator OF its further continuance It
is time. now that the heated period is at
hand. that such foul-smelhng places should
be done away with. If it is not practicable
10 remove the one opposite the arsenal let
the method Of reduction be changed to in
cineration. And in any event don't longer
continue such nuisance.

THE COMING MAN.

There is nothing old-fashioned about
ex-President Harrison except his hat. His
political methods are up to date and his
fetching ways are more seductive than
those of the coming woman. 1t now trans
pires that Senator-elect Elkins is an out
and-out Harrison man, and that the Foraker
flank movement which outgeneraled
Napoleon Mckinley at the GAINESVILLE con-
vention was prompted by him. Probably
as part payment for Mr.. Harrisons West
Virginia speech during the last Elkins
campaign.
AS the campaign progresses other Harri-
son men will announce themselves and
other neat little indications of your Uncle
Beujamin's handiwork will be seen. After
a time it viii only be necessary to kick
over a clod 10 find a Harrison advocate,
and unless all signs fail there will be
enough of them 10 give him the Republican
nomination.

FELL AT The FIRST FIRE
Shooting Of the Captain General at

Smoked Cigarette and Bandaged

Madrid, June 5.-Capt. Clavijo, who shot
and seriously wounded Captain General
Prima Rivera Monday, wasshot at So'clock
this morning. He was tried by court mar
tia! yesterday and sentenced to death.
Captain Clavijo walked TO the prison van
smoking cigarette and bowed to the
crowds assembled around the prison gate.
The people acknowledged his courtesy by
cheering loudly for the captain
The prison van, surrounded by gendarmes,
proceeded to the square OF San Isadore, on
the hanks of the Manzanares river. There
Clavijo alighted and walked to the center
of the square, which was lined with troops
on three sides. The captain when he had
reached the required position bandaged
his own eyes and then again bowed to the
people.
The eofficerincommand of the firing squad
then gave the order to fire and Ciavijo fell,
killed instantly. But according to custom
two shots as coups de grace were fired
at his PROSTATE body, although the un-
fortunate officer was already dead
The troops then defiled past the body
and the remains were removed

WORKING PEOPLE SHOULD BE
FIRST

To an address at Saratoga, New York,
Reverend Watson L. Phillips class flied
as follows the people whose needs are per-
emptury and cannot be disregarded. l.
The vicious crimiHal class 2.-The
honest laboriug class. 3.-The immigrants
4.-The pioneers of the frontier 5.-The
depleted churches OF the back towns of the
east What DR.. Phillips said concerning
these classes is not pertinent 1t is of his
Classification that we must complain
1t has hong since been demonstrated that
there is only one way to deal with vicious,
criminal classes. and when considering
them as objects in need Of assistance it
should be in connection with reformatory
institution where they cannot pollute
communities. Properly they should not
be placed in the same category with honest
people in need Of humane influences. They
are usually diseased aud should be treated
by caercire rather than gentle methods
Their need is restraint to prevent injury
10 those with whom they come in contact,
and instead uf first they should be last when
Classifying persons in need of charitable
assistance.
Honest working people should always

WE WANT NO TROLLEY POLES

WE WANT NO TROLLEY POLES.
1t is impossible 10 fortell the action Of
the Commissioners after July 1st when
tile law goes into effect requiring the re-
muval Of trolley poles, but the letter OF yes
terday notifying the Eckingto n and
Soldiers Home Railway Company that
the law must be Compiled with Is an indi-
cation that an effort will be made to en-
furce IL.
The failure Of the lexington Company
to make provisions for the removal OF its
tplley poles is especially aggravating
An effort was made in the last Congress
to obtain an extension of time, but it
failed on account Of the questionable
manner in which friends of the measure
tried 20 obtain its passage. The company no
doubt intends TO delay action in some form
or another until Congress assemblies, so
that a repeal of the law prohibiting trolley
poles may be obtained. 1t is to be hoped
that the attempt viii be a failure Wash
