THE TIMES STILL GAINING.

Figures That Lie-How the Star Mis-
represents TO the Public.
Saturdays Star announced that its
circulation was many thousands in excess
ofany other Washington papcrandisb believed
to be fully five times that of any afternoon
contemporary" This Justification is easy
to expose
The daily average circulation of The
Times fer the six days on which the Star
bases its calculation was 33, 367; that
of the Star was 2S $50. For the sake of
the argument, let us admit that the Star
has five times the circulation of our even
ing edition. One-fifth the circulation Of
the Star is 1867. Subtract that amount
from 33, ,36T, the average of The Times,
and 27,G37 is left 10 represent the cir
culation of our morning edition. Com
pare that amount with the 20. $50 which
the Star falsely claims, is many thou
sands iD excess of any other Washington
paper" and you will see that its figures lie.
The aggregate circulation of the Star last
week was III, ,9O1. That of. The Times
was 223,776. The Star gained 1,424
in circulation during the week and The
Times added 7,751 to its list.
These figures should be satisfactory
proof as to which is the most popular news
paper, and should also demonstrate TO
advertisers where they can obtain best
results.
The Times is in the lead and will stay
there, because it is the best daily in Wash
ington.

JUDGE DALY's INFLUENCE.

That was a remarkable expla nation given
by Gen. Greedy last evening o, the reason
why the next meeting of the International
Geographical Congress was not secured for
Washington. 1t is. In word, that when a
full majority OF delegates favored Wash
ington, Judge Daily, of New York. claiming
to represent the National Geographical So
ciety, declared that America was not ready
for the Congress; that if it were, Washington
was not the place for it, and il Washington
were selected, the society would have moth
ing to do with the meeting.
This was a gratuitous insult to Justice
Harlan, Gen. Greedy, and other eminent
Americans who supported the claims of
Washington, and a gross libel upon the cap
ital of the country, where there is conccn-
trated all that is most interesting in America
10 those who are devoted to research in the
field discussed by the worlds geographical
scientists.
II may be safely assumed that Judge Daily
did not voice the sentiments of the National
Geographical Society, but that he was af-
fliCted with sudden spleen OF Jealousy
on account of some lack of recognition
which he thought was due to him. Certainly
he was in no way competent to speak for
Washington, and his assertion that Amer
lea was not ready for such Congress was
a slur upon his own country, which was as
unpatriotic as 1t was untrue.

Shooting at a Balloon.

The use of the balloon for dis patch carry
ing and for military reconnaissance is
likely TO play a great part in the next war.
Its only drawback is the fact that its huge
size makes 1t a splendid target, and the
equally damaging fact that. being chiefly
i collapsible gasbag. a shot-hole in any
part of its great bulk brings 1t down. For
this reason a good deal of uncertainty has
existed in the minds OF military men as to
the usefulness of the balloon in campaign
ing.
Recent experiments in Austria. however,
are calculated to give great comfort to the
aeronauts. and TO show that the objection
just mentioned is not so great as might at
first be supposed. These experiments had
for their object the determination of how
easy it would be to hit n balloon in the air.
To make the task Of the marksmen as light
as possible, captive balloons Were used; that
is. the balloons are tethered to the ground
by ropes.
In one case such n balloon, at a height of
4.265 feet. or more than three-quarters of
a mile. was fired at from a distance of
4 400 yards-two and halfmiles-and was
struck nine times without being brought
down. Another time n captive balloon
2.625 feet high was attacked from a dis
tance of $500 yards. or more than three
miles, and was not brought down until
after the fifty-sixth round. In this case
a heavy gale made the balloon plunge and
rendered aim very difficult.-Exchange

PLuCK-ME STORES

1t viii be cheering Information to all
humane and decent people to learn that
in at least one great Industrial region,
the Pittsburg mining districts, company"
or "pluck-me Stores" are about TO be
abolished by arrangement between work
men and employers.
No more infamous abuse was ever per
mitted in a civilized country than these
stores whose proprietors forced workmen
to spend practically all of their wages for
food and clothing at such prices as the
companies chose to levy. Corrective or
prohibitory law never seemed to effect
their operation.
The terms OF the agreement are that after
January no operator, mine manager, clerk
or any other official connected with q
mine, shall operate a store for the pur-
pose OF forcing miners to deal there. All
miners must thereafter be paid in cash.
The operators are kindly given until Jan
uary 1 to dispose OF their stores.
This great reform has been accomplished
wholly by the thorough organization and
intelligent action of the miners who have
been actually held In condition Of
slavery by the confiscation of their wages
through the medium of the pluck me stores
They waited for remedial legislation In
vain from PeDns yivania law makers. Their
victory over this long standing abuse is
one which will give impetus to similar
reform wherever the pluck-me stores are
found.

When the speech is done, the relatives of
the Queen, from her Oldest uncle down to

Russ,n,s Penal Code.

Russia is about to promulgate reformed
penal code upon which experts have been
at work for the past fourteen years.
Alexander III appointed in 1881 COM
mission to prepare the new code. A pre-
vious commission had reported the need
of an improved code after preparing the
law of February %, 1879. upon the gen
eral administrations of prisons. The COM
mission, working through committee OF
experts, collated all the penal laws of the
empire and those OF the most enlightened
countries and studied them in the light of
the most recent theories upon the subject.
The code, when finally promulgated, will
replace the code of capital and correctional
punishment bearing date 1S45. but since
much amended 1t will also snpersede the
penal code OF Justices II the peace pub
lished in 1864.
