As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to ressed we fice, simply THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Departments, according to tenor or purpose. ‘When the populist party commenced to be it was generally understood by those who allied themselves therewith that it was to be a party of good mcrals and would be so far superior to any other po- litical organization as to make compari- gon extremely unprofitable to any except the elect. Every populistic speech over- flowed with condemnation of practices com- mon in the older political organizations and every populist orator dweit noisily upon the villainous dishonesty and ram- pant misgovernment which populism alone could destroy. But there is oftentimes wide difference between theory and prac- tice and it has long been plain to every intelligert observer that there are com- paratively as many unprincipled populists as there are unprincipled republicans or unprincipled democrats. One of the most interesting stories of populistie corruption comes from Topeka, Kansas, where there are affidavits on file alleging that Gov. Lewelling has received money from a lot- tery and policy dealer for protection of- fered him. The allegations state quite plainly that the lottery man paid $3,000 to a populist worker in exchange for « promise that he, the lottery shark, should mame the police commissioners for Kan- sas City, Kansas. Before this money was paid, however, the dealer consulted with Gov. Leweiling’s private secretary, who as- sured him that the man with whom he had been negotiating was entitled to speak for the governcr and that any agreement made with him could be depended upon. ‘The cash was paid and the commissioners were nominated, but the appointments were Pot made at the time agreed upon, so the gambler was delayed in his project of mo- nopolizing the lottery and policy business of a rich field. The governor's representa- tive, upon being reproached for being over- deliberate, notified the gambler that the governor wanted the additional sum of $1,500 before he would act. Then there was consultation with the governor's agent and the additional $1,500 was paid. Still the appointments came not, and, when the gambler was weary of waiting, he visited by the governor's private secretary and notified that the exclusive gambling and lottery privileges in the cities of Atchi- son, Leavenworth, Fort Scott and Wichita could be had for $1,000 per month. This Proposition was accepted and $100 were paid the secretary on account, but the sec- retary and his superior failed to keep their contract and, finally, it is cbarged, trans- ferred their allegiance to a representative of the Kansas City lottery companies; those institutions having raised more money than the amourt offered by the agent of the Louisiana Company. The situation is ex- tremely interesting, for the state authori- ties have not as yet succeeded in explain- ing away any of the serious accusations which are now being used for campaign Purposes by their political opponents. —__ +02 ____ The rominatioa of John K. Cowen of Baltimore as the derficcratic candidate for Congress from the Fourth Maryland Dis- trict was not made with the consent of Senetor Gorman. Senator Gorman is not @ civil service reformer, but should Mr. Cowen be elected, as he ‘s quité likely to be, there will be in the nation’s counsels one more truly conscientious man whose voice will ever be uplifted in behalf of clea government and its inevitable fore- Funner—civil service reform. In accepting the romination, Mr. Cowen said: “I shall d@o everything in my power to widen and extend that reform. I believe the day will come when it will receive universal appro- bation, even though it does not now. You Must not expect me for one single moment to lower my standard on that subject.” With Mr. Cowen’s sentiments on other matters likely to be ccnsidered by Congress, the people of the Fourth Maryland District will have mst to do, but for what he says and does as to this ever-living and steadily- growirg subject of civil service reform the decent people of the entire country will hold him responsible. oe —___ Thirty-three men (counting the water-boy as a man) were today employed upon the city post-office building. Should an equal mumber be kept steadily at work six days a Week the structure will probably be ready for the reception of mail and for other postal business on December 23, 1000. The average number of workimen up to date has been about twenty. Unless the average is raised or the energy increased (the latter an absurd possibility) completion should not be looked for prior to August 17, 1906. see Editor Bryan's adaptibility to his new calling has not yet been fully demonstrated. Of ccu in his p t connection there is little required beyond mental ability. But reverses may come, and he may drift where he will realize that it takes more than brains and determination to chisel the old dates from “patent outside” news matter with the neatness demanded by a Punctilious public. ——-_ wee China has displayed much ingenuity and enthusiasm in applying uncomplimentary Phrases to the enemy. It is about time for her to realize that this is war, and not a doint debate. —_ + +-—___. Mr. Astwood has not flopped in some time. Perhaps he is going slowly, so as not to exhaust the field. expose of the so-called “Hahnemann Homeopathic University”— published in last Saturday's Star—coupled with the action of the Homeopathic Society of the District in seeking to restrain the So-called university from damaging the good name of homeopathy, has directed general attention to the speculative medi- cal institution. The Star showed quite con- ¢iusively that the action of the Homeo- pathic Soctety was eminently proper, whether it was regarded as a defense of hemeopathy or of the public welfare; for “Pauline Pry” made it plain to “the way- faring man, though a fool,’ that the self- styied university was in business for the purpose of selling diplomas. With such evident weakness as to medical and surgical requirements it is not surprising to discover that there ts weakness in another depart- ment of the institution. In the university's printed requirements for matriculation, Which were published in The Star of Sat- arday last, it was stated that the student must “give evidence of a good education Yy exhibiting loma of a literary or entific college, high school or academy, @ county or state teacher's certificat Failing to produce either or both of those focuments, the student will be required to bass an examination as follows: “1. English composition, by writing at the time of the examination an essay of not tess than two hundred words, by which may be judged the writer's attainments in grammar, spelling and writing. 2. Arith- metic. 8. Latin sufficient to show a fair comprehension of scientific terms and for- Taulae.” It 1s a reasonable supposition that the was | THE EVENING STAR, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1894-TWELVE PAGES. THE PALAIS ROYAL “OPENING.” fules quoted were not adopted until after the so-called university was organized and officered, and for this the president of the university should be deeply grateful. The world has more than once laughed at the engineer who was hoist with his own petard, (although a few of those who grinned were without even a remote idea as to the character of a petard or the relationship which existed between the engineer and that almost obsolete instrument), and there would, of course, be much mirth should the president of a great university be sand- bagged and ousted from office by a rule to which he had subscribed. Elsewhere in The Star will be found a communication from President Joseph C. Ellis of the “Hahnemann Homeopathic University’—a communication, printed verbatim, which shows clearly in almost every line the necessity for requiring of those who would become connected with an institution of high rank a reasonable knowledge of the language most commonly spoken in the District of Columbia and other civilized communities in the United States. If the “Hahnemann Homeopathic University” pro- posed to peddle a brand of medical instruc- tion on a par with the English composition to which reference has been made (and there is every reason for believing that to be the case) then the community 1s in- debted to the Homeopathic Society for its active interference with the plans of con- seienceless seekers after wealth. —- ee The advantages of having a special cor- respondent at the seat of war is of course manifest to those who are engaged in the conduct of a great newspaper—the New York World for example. On Saturday last there appeared in The Evening Star a page- wide picture of the Japanese army in the suburbs of Seoul celebrating the victory of A-San. The picture was etched from a photograph which came into the possession of The Star through the kindness of a gen- tleman who has business relations with resi- dents of Seoul. Today the New York World reproduces that picture and credits its pub- lication to the extraordinary activity of the World’s special correspondent with the Jap- anese army. The Star has no objection to the World’s making use of the picture, but it thinks that the Corean people may justly take exception to several liberties that have been taken with the landscape. A stream has been inserted where no stream exists and a very crude bridge has been built by an artist who is evidently not a bridge- builder by profession, while in one corner of the picture has been interjected a rear view wf Ward McAllister in shooting costume, evidently after birds, and carrying a gun left-handed—a breach of good form of which Mr. McAllister would never be guilty. It may be that the stream and the bridge and Mr. McAllister are improvements upon the photograph, but if The World wants its history of the Chinese-Japanese war to live it had better stick to facts. — +42 —__ Pugilist Corbett’s proposition to stand his challengers up in a row and fight them consecutively has in it the same modern spirit of profuseness which made the three- ring circus so conspicuous a success, oo The inference to be drawn from re- marks about New York politics is that in that state a campaign and a barrel are al- ways opened simultaneously. ——_-_- + = ____.

Of course, the skies above are blue; The sighing breeze is tender; And luscious fruits of tempting hue Hang from the branches slender. But all this wealth of autumn charm Lezves him forlorn and restive Whose days are fraught with wild alarm Concerning things digestive.

This ts supposed to be the era of young men, but the truth is, there were never more famous old men on deck than we have today. Mr. Gladstone is eight-five and M. Jules Simon is eighty. Both are physically strong and active, and they are now doing some of their best work. But these are not the only instances in history of the extraordinary activity of ery old men. Dandolo, when past ninety and utterly biind, stormed Constantinople. Titian was painting his finest pictures when he died in his hundredth year. Sir Isaac Newton was president of the Royal Society at the age of eight-three, and Lan- dor finished his “Imaginary Conversations” at the age of elghty-nine. Brougham was a strong debater at eighty, and Lyndhurst, when over ninety, spoke in the house of krds. Franklin was governor of Pennsyl- vania at the age of eighty-two, and we now have Morrill in the Senate at eighty- four and Oliver Wendell Holmes at eighty- five is brilliant as ever. It would be easy to add to the Ist. Our old men are by no means back numbers. They are among our wisest councilors and our best workers. Today. > oo ___— Deserve an Increase.
