4 THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, THE EVENING STAR. | WASHINGTON: and as an Advertising Medium is worth more than all the otber papers peblished in Washington. The sundry civil bill proposes an appropria- tion of $50.30 for the maintenance of the Zoological Vari, one-half of the amount to be paid by the District. The sum appropriated for thia purpose will undoubtedly inerense every year. The government is wisely liberal in its expenditures for the advancement of science. Grand projects are entertsined concerning the fature of this ational exhibit. The alarming feature of the situation ix that Congress inxiats upon making the District an involuntary partner in bearing the expenses of ite enter- prise, and threatens to extort from the District one-balf the ~—_ amount of such expenditures, however large, allowing it no control over either the expendi- ture or the things purchased It is to be re- membered that the Smithsonian Institution, not the District, asked for these penned ani- mals out on Rock Creck, aud that the exhibits of fowers and plants in the botanical garden, and of the minerals, stuffed animals and num- berless other objects of interest in the National Museum, for which the Distriet prop nothing,are incidentally of vastly greater benetit to the city as convenient objects of interest to residents and visitors than the Rock Creek na- tional exhibit, for which the District ix as- sessed. Government will be charging the peo- ple of the city, beyoud what they pay in national tuxes, for the taaintenance of the muscum and botanieal garden next. This is a very danger- ous precedent. Instead of maintaining the preposterous arrangement which makes the small resident population of this city an equal partner with the whole United Statesas national promoters of science, the support of the park should be undertaken immediately by the gov- ernment alone. Ifany part of the cost of the ground purchased, which is practically an ex- tension of the Smithsonian Institution's real estate, isto be exacted from the District, it should be made payable in small» nual installments, so as to interfere as little as possible with necessary current improvements, and to give Congress an oppor- tunity to make effective any change of eon- seience which it may undergo on this point in THEIE SUCCESS IN ENGLAND AND FAILURE IN AMERICA. THE REASONS WHY. Co-operative, according to Webster, means operating Jointly fo the same end. Thus, a co-operative store is ‘one where the buyer as rauch as the seller is interested im the success of the concern. ‘The main advantaxe— im fact, the only advantaze—offered by a co-operative store {s low prices enabled by the Lusiness being con- ucted on a strictly cash primeipie, enabling merchan- dise to be transferted from the manufacturer tothe consuzer at the smallest possible expense. ‘The reason of the success of thess ventures in Eng- Jond fs that there are comparatively few other eleantic concerns where merchandise vf every description is soldond which are not burdened with the extra ex- pense cltending a credit or partial credit business. Co- operative stores have been tried in this country, but al have subsequently failed. The reason s that there ate already mspy larze private stores where the busi- ness ia carried on by men of life-iong experience and where the co-operative system: is virtually adopted. Take, for instance, Alucy’s erand store in New York or the Palais Royal of Wesl.ington, both these establish- ments are co-operative stores, acconJing to the true | Cocensarwve Sronzs. the future by asmming the payment of the postponed installments. ‘The same treatment for tho same reasons should be applied to the other unjust exactions from the city, such as that for the payment of the cost of the water main. Congress has already bound the city to pay for the water which it gets in assessments to meet the cost of the sbandoned tunnel. The water main is a substitute for the tunnel. The District should not pay for both. If it must poy for blundering negligence for which it was not at all responsible, it should be permitted to meaning of the word; the proprietors being but the mediums through whom the merchandise 4s transferred from the manufacturer to the con. sumer. Frompt payments are made when buying and demanded when selling. The income of the proprietors of these stores are certainly not more than the entrance fers changed those who be- come membersof the Enzlish co-orerative sick, com- dined with the salaries of the directors. That such establishinents as Macy's and the Palais Koyal are Fun with as little expense and directed by men of even, pay in the manner which will be ensiest for it, hich will work the least hardship upon the stores is evident by the continued success of the one and the failure of the other.

The parliament will dissolve and a new one be cleeted on the Sth of March. The liberal party, which favors closer commercial relations with this republic, | hopes to carry the elections. Already, to head off the reciprocity issue, the present govern- ment of Canada plans to appoiut a commis sion to visit Washington and see what can be done in the matter. In such a condition of | affairs any disposition on the part of Congress to defer action indefinitely is to be deplored. The whole subject of reciprocity with neigbor- ing nations is ripe, and it only remains that the crop be garnered. ————$see—___ ‘The eyes of the country are on the three farmers in the Illinois legislature in whose hands is the fate of the United States senator- ship now held by Mr. Farwell. A proposition from these farmers to the democrats is expected before the end of the week, but nobody seems to know what they are going to propose. Labor Candidate Streeter has been withdrawn. There are acres of chaos in the senatorial situation.
