John T. C. Clark,
Notary Public.
Whatever temporary gratification the repub
lican Senators who voted to reject Mr. Hol
etead's nomination as minister to Germany may
have felt in that act, their best friends will
hardly deny that they made a serious mistake
in indulging it. Those who were moved by the
remembrance of his utteiances on the subject
of the Payne inquiry ought to have borne in
mind that what he wrote was written at a white
beat, after one of the most acrimonious con
tests that have ever taken place in the history
of Ohio politics. However innocent Mr. Payne
may have been of personal corruption, there is
no room for doubt that corrupt methods were
resorted to by parties acting in his interest, and
there was nothing unreasonable in the demand
of the republican legislators of Ohio, seconded
by Mr. llalstead, for a searching inquiry.
Naturally impulsive, and moved to extra stress
of feeling by the circumstances of this ease,
Mr. HaUtead may have|[exerciscd rather less
moderation in his comments than a man of
more phlegmatic temperament would, but he
did what he believed to be his duty. Stripping j
the situation of all its moral and sentimental
aspects, moreover, the resolve of certain Sen
ators to defeat a candidate who had fearlessly
spokt n his mind of their body as a whole was a
bit of worldly unwisdom. They have simply
given Mr. llalstead the means of making up an
issue on which he is certain to enlist
a very large public sympathy. Their
action will give immense impetus to
the growing feeling that the Senate
is becoming rapidly de-Americanized.
New point will be given to the bitter tone of J
public comment upon the manner iu which the
upper chamber of Congress has been steadily
filling up with men whose chief claim to dis
tinction rests on the big fortunes they have ac
cumulated, or the skill with which they have
contrived to twist the technicalities of the law
to suit the service of the powerful corporations
that have employed them|as attorneys. This
public sentiment has been voiced^in the appli
cation to the Senate of the title of "the million
aire club." and that body has not done a par
ticularly wise thing iu affording Mr. llalstead
an opportunity to show to the country the apt
ness of the name, and the significance of the
moral to be drawn from it.
Mrs. Harrison's recent illness, attributed to
the unsanitary condition of the White House,
has revived public interest in "the project of
providing separate quarters for the President's
official and domestic uses. The business de
partment has steadily encroached for years
upon the domestic department of the executive
mansion, and still complaint is made of the in
sufficient room for the clerical force required
there. It would be eminently proper to make
a change, and provide a suitable residence for
the President's family, reserving the present
bnildmg for offices, reception-rooms and other J
state purposes. We do not require the Secre
tary of the Treasury to sleep in the silver vault,
or the Postmaster-General to have his lodgings
among his musty mail bags, or the Secretary
of the Interior to do his housekeeping in the
patent muse um. Why should we demand of a
President that his whole life?private as well
as public?for four years shall be spent under
one roof and in one atmosphere ?
Some of the alarmists in England have dig
covered, by the comparison of statistics of sup
ply and consumption for a long period, that the
coal mines of their country will be exhausted
in less than one hundred years. This is as
sumed to mean that England will cease to be
England?that her supremacy in manufactures
and commerce will collapse?somewhere to- |
ward the close of the twentieth century. That
is a sad prospect for prosperous Englishmen of
the present day to contemplate. Their conso
lation rests in the fact that it is posterity, and
not their own generation, which must shoulder
the trouble if trouble there is to be. Aside
from the infinite possibilities which rise in the
vista of a hundred years of progress in the me
chanic arts, including the undeveloped re
sources of electricity, the remoteness of the
date set for the disaster prevents its resting too
beavy on the hearts of Englishmen of this era.
The prophecy of the end of coal-production in
British mines a century hence is a good deal
like the prophecy Prof. Proctor used to make
that the earth would grow too cold to support
mankind two billion years* hence. The most
nervous of the Professor's hearers did not go
home to have bad dreams about it.
????
All the romances founded on the careers of
Dick Turpin and other famous knights of the
road never began to compare, in their descrip
tions of coolness and dsriug.with the story of the
robbery of a bank told in the press dispatches
from l>enver. A bank president is seated in his
office. A stranger gains a private interview '
with him on the pretext of disclosing a plot to
rob his bank. The disclosure takes the form of j
a practical illustration, in which the president |
is himself compelled, at the point of a pistol,
to play the leading part The amount stolen,
fortunately, was not large enough to cripple
the bank or break the private fortune of the
victim on whom personally the bulk of the lose
must fall; but the audacity of the scheme loses
nothing from this circumstance. Indeed, the
effect is rather intensified by the fact tbat a
thief with so much ingenuity and courage ,
should have commanded himself sufficiently at
the critical moment to keep his demand within
?uch bounds that the subordinate officers of the
bank had not their suspicions arous?(l for a
moment.
There is fun ahead if. as predicted, Murat
Halstcad should be elected to the United States
Senate. For be is sort of impulsive with his
tougue aa well as with his pen.

A WORD WITH YOTT.
Your experience is, doubtless, that the seams rip and
buttons come off the low-priced Underwear. Let us
look at the "Palais Royal's" 50c. Undergarments;
then, perhaps, you'll admit, though the same prices are
quoted elsewhere, different froods are offered. Here's a
50c. Balbriggan Shirt?note the ribbed neck, which
Is untearable; the front silk bound. Look at the
50c. Drawers?an extra piece at seat: all the scams
tai>ed over: patent everlasting stays where the ripping
usually commences.
Now, look at the 50c. Jean Drawers. Note the shape.
Turn them inside out and examine the parts which
usually show wear. All lengths of leg to each waist
size, which are shown from 28 to 44 Inches.
The natural Wool Underwear at $1. You only have
to feet them to know they will not irritate the akin:
to see them to appreciate the finish and shape.
Such Merino Underwear lor 50c. that we lcar for the
gale of the 75c. garments.
THE SECRET IS THIS:
The Palais Royal's strictly cash business enables
smaller profits and therefore better qualities for the
prices than elsewhere.
The window display, corner of 12th street and Penn
sylvania avenue, will demonstrate that Just a* good
values are given in socks as in underwear.

That our stock is twice as larp-e as any preceding sea
son is a fact. That the variety is thrice as large is also
true. Why. you have only to glance at samples in

tell eloquently the story of l'alais Royal versus credit

About The Contents Of A
LETTER
Another letter. We've incurred the displeasure this
timo of the furnishers. It's really getting so bad that
we shall be obliged to ask the consent of our neighbors
when we wish to mark a new arrival of goods.
What's wrong?
Just this. We've been selling the latest New York
8carf craze?the Irish Linen Toweling Embroidered
Four-ln-Hand Scarfs at 50 cents. Our friends In the
trade complain that they can't afford to sell them for
less than 75 cents. They appeal to the manufacturer
to discipline im?and compel ]/ou to pay their prices.
How would you like that?
But we are not going to be disciplined?We're run
ning this business located on Market Space on our oicn
ideas and for the convenience and benefit of an appre
ciative public?and we are extremely sorry if our prices
and methods fail to please our contemporaries. You'll
recall the fact that we had a similar circumstance in
our Shoe Department this last winter?Do you remem
ber how successful that was? We kept right on selling
the Bame goods at our prices?and that's what we're
going to do in this case. The Irish Linen Embroidered
Scarfs will be at you disposal at 50 cents.
In Justice to the manufacturer wo won't publish his
letter. There are somo clauses in it that are of a confi
dential character. Any of you are, however, welcome
to a personal perusal?and the letter will be found in
our business office.
The whole affair is so supremely amusing that we
can't forbear making public these facts. The idea of a
class of merchants acting like a parcel of school boys
whining and complaining at a perfectly legitimate
transaction?because they are not willing to break
down the biggoted barrier of old-time policies that
they have erected around their business and launch
out on the broad plain of progression.
The basis upon which we've marked these scarfs Is
the same upon which all our prices are made, and this
one incident will serve to show you that when we aay
we offer you all the newest and latest stylet at lower
prieel than they can be got elsewhere we are stating a
FACT.
Our price 50 cents?everywhere else 75 cents.

Being large and Judicious linen buyer* they

Our first consideration In buying linen* l?
quality. The quality of a piece of linen de|<enda
upon the flax fibre?its Vrength. its fineness or
coarseness, and it* length. The trouble with
half of the linens is the great amount of tow
used. Tow is to linen what shoddy is to wool?
the waste.
Most buyers like the Irish and German linen*
best. Their beauty is In the bleach. Sun
bleached. upon grassy lawns, under clear skle*.
Good round threads, honest unbroken fibre,
firmly and skilfully woven. For (rood looks and
durability com bined take the Irish. If you are
an inexperienced linen buyer it is usually best
to ?hop where the most people an>?ar to be
buying. Here is what we are offering thi*
week: Table Damasks, Napkin*, Cloths, Doy
