10th, ilth and F Sts. N. w.
CLOSED TODAY.
Fridays Our Remnant Day.
Special Bargain Day.

Our store policy is based on let
ting you be your own judge as TO
the goods and quantities you need.
Nobody is coaxed to buy and no
fixed rules govern your choosing
when you do buy. You choose ac-
cording to your requirements. We
cut any length of piece goods de-
sired; we divide certain lots of goods
for accommodation which were
intended to sell as a whole. Then,
as you perhaps know, in line of
Wraps, Underwear, Hosiery,
Gloves, Shoes, ETC., the medium
sizes sell first, leaving Us the very
small and the very large sizes.
Then, again, articles become soiled,
marred and otherwise defaced from
handling and displaying-and so
on. From these various sources
remnants accumulate very rapidly
when sales are large, and we can
not push them aside or pile them
up.
Our policy demands their abso-
Lutte and immediate clearance in or
der to keep the stocks fresh, bright
and up to date in every particular.
Less than perfect goods or COM
plete assortments have no place
here.
Hence Friday of each week is
voted to the selling of remnants
fragments, remainders, ETC.; and
they are the genuine, legitimate
sorts, not remnants made for the
occasion, There'u be a goodly
collection to pick from Friday, and
for quick distribution we've made
the prices in many cases half and
less.
On Friday we shall also offer
several bargain lots of goods Sc
cured expressly for this occasion
at very specially low prices.

The Two Cabinets.

Within few days the quarters 90
cupied by the Cabinet ministers of the
Cleveland regime VIII be vacated by the
present incumbents and new men will
take their places.
The State Department will pass from the
hands Of Mr.. Richard Olney into those Of
Mr.. John Sherman. The change Will be
most important, as exemplifying the domi-
nant control OF the financial interest over
everything connected with the operations
OF our government, including its foreign
policy. Although it has been but too ap-
parent for a long time that our State De-
partment has grown to be but little more
than a registry office for the policies
and measures considered desirable and
profitable by the combined wisdom Of the
banking house of n. II. Rothschild &
Sons and the British prime minister, the
object lesson presented in its formal pas
sage under the control of a gentleman, Who,
for almost thirty years, has practically
been regarded as the exponent in this
country Of the financial institution named.

bankers is also good enough for such
inconsidered trifles as the rest of mankind.
BE win try to fill the shoes OF one of the
most intellectual and, personally, one of
the most attractive and magnetic men
that the Democratic party Of former days
was able to produce; OF a gentleman and
statesman so strong in other respects
that the financial and political hypnotism
to which he has succumbed during the mast
four years, must ever remain occasion
for equal wonder and regret among all
who have known and admired him in the
old days as an honored figure and leader
among gthe eforemostexponentso of the Demo
cratic faith
The selection Of Gen. Russell 4. AIger

Daniel S. Lamont, is one which meets gem

on the other hand, there is no reason to
suppose that he isn't all right. Mr. Ahncr
Mckinley resembles his distinguished
brother greatly, so much so, n fact, that
it is said that there was great danger at
st. Louis at one time that he instead Of
William would be nominated by Mr. Hanna.
The Presidents have been considerably an
noyed, first ana last, by the presence Of
nonSensical relatives in Washington, hut
there is nothing to indicate that Hon
Abner Mckinley will stay here very long.
He has large business interests in New
York, which will require all Of his at
tention, and it may be added, as we he

leadership in the Senate, we cannot guess
who VIII. He has already slapped several
Senators on the back, and it is under
Stoed that he is preparing to call Senators
Chandler, Platt, Lodge, and Quay by their
Christian names at the first opportunity.
There are precedents in the Senate, it is
true, but Mr.. Hanna has never yet found
anything in his party which he hasn't
overridden, and there is no reason why
ne shouldn't throw Senatorial dignity, like
mere roll OF campaign money, to the
winds At all events, in order to please
the Boston Herald, he ought to try.

Friendly Counsel.

There is large gentleman living at the
Shcreham, one Thomas B. Reed by name,
and this Is word of advice to him. The
Speaker Of the House Is one of the most
powerful persons in the world. He beats
the President all hollow when it comes
to changing the currents of history And
when he is elephantine and nimble In his
wit and has back bone like a pine tree,
and as much nerve as Richard Oney, he
becomes a person Of real Importance, let
Us tell you.
Now iE has not yet been reported that
Mr.. Reed has called upon the new President
at the Ebbitt House or anywhere else. Mr..
Reedis said not to love Mr Mckinley very
dearly now, but all the same we desire
TO remind the Speaker that he needn't t
feel SO big just because he is six feet
three and weighs as much as Grover CIeve-
land. Girth isn't the only thing. Napo-
leon, like Mckinley, was rather small of
stature, yet he succeeded for n time
We think Mr. Reed had better ca Il on Mr..
Mckinley today. Perhaps some means
win occur to them if they bring their joint
brains TO bear upon the question, by which
prosperity can be restored.

John Sherman hasresigned, and Manager
Mark Hanna is really entitled now to
see how soft his Russia covered seat in
the Senate is. 1t is significant and enter
man will be Secretary OF State in a few
hours. The reason for John Sherman's ap-
pointment, according to Hon. Charles Hanna
Grosvenor, is that his long and pacific
service in the Treasury Department, and
in finance and foreign affairs generally.
are calculated to re-establish the credit
of the United States abroad. 1t is not
known whether Mr.. Foraker would give
Mr.. Sherman twenty minutes or half an
hour in which to establish foreign conf
dence, but surely it ought to come under
most unfavorable circumstances inside of
fortnight, and as confidence is all that
we want, we shall naturally encounteE
in three weeks at the furthest a general
and whooping return Of prosperity. II we
look at the appointment OF Mr. Sherman
in the full light of these xpectations it
Will make little matter whether the rev
Secretary OF State supports Fitzhugh Lee
or not. Prosperity is what we are all
after, and If those of US who own all the
gold in the world, and who feel certain
that the rich are not growing richer and
that the poor are not growing poorer and
more numerous can only have confidence
restored, we can manage to struggle
along under the new Hanna prosperity,
without regard to Cuba, Hawaii, the new
tariff or anything else.
