Confirmation Suits, Dress Suits, School

We have made this department study and
are now displaying the greatest line of cloth
ing for boys FL to 10 years old, ever
offered
For the little lads 27 to years our line
of novelties is marvellous, and cannot be
surpassed even in the Eastern cities. This
line is certainly great and all we ask is a
call, inspect the goods, see our prices, and
if you don't find as we say don't buy the
goods If your purchases are not entirely
satisfactory bring back the goods and get
your money.

Square Enterprise and Integrity. There is
no Misrepresentation here. Rather than do
business under false pretenses we would close
our doors.
Through our honest methods of COM
handing trade some of our would-be COM

Why there is more old stock, shop-worn

SINGULAR OVERSIZE HT.

Most people in the District will be sur
prised to learn that those in authority at
the Zoo have no authority to use any part
OF the appropriation for that place for the
purchase OF animals. Surely Congress can
not expect to have such a collection of
animals as there ought to fe in this Zoo
logical Garden, brought together solely
through gifts from naval officers or public
spirited citizens. A Zoo that cannot
Tepienish or add to IFS stock of beasts is
the most striking exhibition imaginable OF
the play of Hamlet with the part of the
melancholy Dane entirely omitted.
There is not in the United States another
park as well adapted for the purposes of
zoo as ours, and there are few European
clues that have as extensive domain for
this purpose. But unless the directors of
the Zoo have the authority TO buy animals
il might as well be ut the bottom Of tie
ocean for all the good il will do. Congress
certainly should give them the requisite
authority to add To the collection. A part
at least OF the appropriation they should
have permission to use to this end. If
the sundry civil bill, which probably con-
tains the appropriation for the park, has
not yet finally passed, it might tie suitably
amended; If il has. a brief supplemental
bill would answer the purpose.

LACK OF POLICEMEN.

While Washington is actually suffering on
account of its limited police force, and Con-
gress. it seems cannot be induced to-appro-
pirate sufficient funds for such an increaSeas
has been recommended and urged by the
Commissioners and the chief of police, its
efficiency is still further reduced by details
at points that ought to be guarded by other
agencies than patrolmen. whose services
are painfully needed at different points
within and without the city limits. Refer
ence has been made heretofore to the detail
thirty policemen at the White House,
and now it is learned that four men are on
duty at Woodley, the Presidents country
residence. 1t may be, perhaps, proper
enough to guard thus carefully the person
of the Chief Executive of the nation. but
there can be no doubt that the guardian
angels should be provided by the United
States. and not by the District police force
This is matter all apart from the ques-
tion why it is that there should be need
of so large number of policemen around
and about the person OF the President.
True, crank turns up now and then at the
White House, but be is generally stopped
by the doorkeepers, ;tad 1t ought TO be re-
membered that no harm has ever come to
President within the precincts of the Execu-
tive Mansion. But that consideration is
foreign TO the point here made, which is,
that the large number of policemen de-
tailed at the White House and Woodley
should be restored to their legitimate patrol
duty, and their ptacessupplied by watchmen
specially appointed for that purpose, Or the
police force be SO largely increased that the
detail Of forty men would not seriously
impair It's efficiency.

SALE OF SKIM MILK.

The campaign begun by the health office
against persons who sell skinned milk
without ma king known 10 their customers
that il is such, should be vigorously pros
ecuted. Milk is one of the most important
accessories of the household. and ii is
essential that at this season especially, its
sale be scrupulously regula ted. There is
more at stake here than not having cream
for the coffee after having bought the
fluid which is expected 10 yield it; the
health and the lives of thousands OF in
fants depend upon the nutritive quality of
the article.
Poor people are particularly affected by
the dishonesty or carelessness OF dealers
in this respect, for with their slender means
every cent expended for something that Is
not what they expected 1t to be, is to
them a heavy loss. Moreover, it is their
children that depend more upon the purity
OF the lacteal supply than those of persons
more amply endowed with the world s
goods, for the latter can take their little
ones to country hooks where good, rich
milk can be had for the asking. The
children OF the poor, however, have TO
pass the hot season in the city; the mortality
among them is always excessive, and is
increased, of course, by impure or un
nutritious milk.
The stringent regulations and the watch
full care of the health office respecting
dairles and dairy products have done much
to work great reform in this respect in
the District, and energetic action against
dealers In whose establishments skim mill
masquerades as cream will have a most
beneficial effect.
The morning times., 1896-05-05
PAY OF posToFFIcE CLERKS,

Postoffice clerks salaries are determined
by no general rule, but depend upon the
pleasure of the respective Postmasters.
In some offices they are better than in
others, but pay and tenure Of office of
these government servants are both at the
mercy Of the postmaster. Besides. they
work harder than almost any other COVE rn--
ment employe. a bill has been introduced
by Representative Sperry of Connecticut
for the ella asSification of these clerks in first
and second class offices, which ought 10
be pusSed as soon as possible. in order tha I
Justice may be done 10 a deserving cha IS
OF public servants. No increase of salaries
IS contemplated; il is simply intended that
clerks doing identically the same work in
different offices or in the same office shan
stand on an equal footing SO far as their
pay is concerned.
The movement is by no means ne W one,
though none the less meritCriOus. Several
Postmasters General have urged il, but IL
has always failed of proper recognition in
Congress. Strange TO say, the letter
carriers and railway postal clerks have
never lacked champions of their Claims in
Congress, but the clerks in the postoffices
have until now had none to espOuSe their
cause, IL we except kmd-hearted 'SunSct''
Cox. who always had n good word FOR
them and EXPIRE ssed a proper appreciation
OF their IaboriCus duties. For some reason
the postoffice clerks have never formed 6
national organization like their aforemen
toned fellows in the postal service, and to
this, also, may be attributed in me asure
their failure TO obtain their deserts.
The work they have to perform is no
only the most fatiguing, but also the mos
responsible in tie service. Upon then
more than upon any one else depends tn
expeditions and correct assortment OF th
malls, and the least they have a right +
expect is that they should be placed upnl
an equal footing with other employe!
in the postal service. Their compensation
should not be subject to the caprice or par
tality Of postmaSters, but be regulates
according to clearly defined regulations
This the Sperry bill aims to do, and having
received the Endorsement of the Hous
Committee on Postoffices and Postroad
it ought also get the sanction OF the Hous
so that the Senate may take action upon il

CAMPAIGN AGAINST BREwER1Es.
Agitation Committee of the Carpen-

Carpenters Assembly. No. 74S. Z. - L.,
held its regular weekly meeting last night
in the Society Temple Reports Were read
from the central labor bodies, but the
most interest was taken in the report from

established TO make a more vigorous cam

discussion was lengthy and at tines quite
animated.
The members of the Carpenters assembly
claim that they have been Disseminated
against by the boss brewers because they
would not humiliate themselves by signing
a contract to purchase only beer manu-
faCtured by the local brewers, which, in
the opinion of the members, would be
simply baTtering away their manhood.
The action of the general agitation com
mittee, relating TO the movement to in
crease the licenses of the saIoonkeepers in
the District of Columbia. was unanimously
indorsed, and the active support Of the
assembly pledged to the committee. In
order that the entire membership should be
made acquainted with the full facts of the
campaign, it was ordered that red letter
call should be issued for a full meeting.
