THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. BATURDAY. April 20, 1895. CROSBY 8. NOYES................ Editor. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation much more than the combined circulation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competiter. Im order to avoid delays, om der count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any tndividual connected with the office, but simply te THE STAR, or to the Editorial or jusiness Depar ments, according te tenor or purpase. ———— President Cleveland's public recognition of the fact that there is immediate neces- sity for organization and action by the friends of sound money has done more to direct attention to the battle of the theor- {sts now in progress than all the other com- ments on that strife combined. The silver movement has been a remarkable one, and, in view of the probability that the next presidential campaign will hinge mainty on the great question of national finance, there is promise of ita becoming much more notable before the men of the United States give definite expression to their opinion on @ subject which is now so generally mis- ‘understood. It fs not strange that the “sfl- ver” doctrine should have become popular, especially in those regions where strange theories have been accustomed to wander without let or hindrance, for the effort of the silver-tongued apostles has been to so Popularize their side of the argument as to compel the simple-minded to concurrence. ‘With that vehemence which is such a de- sirable characteristic in the stump orator, the advocates of free coinage have gone up and down the land persistently and to.a considerable extent successfully. At this time extraordinary exertion is being put forth to place before the masses the spe- cious statements skilfully framed by the financially-lineal descendants of those who for a long time disturbed this country by their demands for fiat money. The only difference between” the’ free silver sophist of today and the greenback shouter of a generation ago Hes in the fact that the greenbacker insisted that the government could convert an almost valueless scrap of Paper into an actual dollar, while the free silver enthusiast declares that the govern- ment can do the same thing with fifty cents’ worth of silver. To the extent ex- Pressed by the difference between the value of the little strip of printed paper and of the silver ore in a dollar, the silver advo- cate Is more honest than the greenbacker, but he is still considerably below par. Nevertheless he has persuaded an unques- tlonably large number of voters that this country is divided into two classes: the bankers and the people; that the twa are necessarily antagonistic; that it is the bounden duty of the people to stoutly op- pose any proposition that- emanates from the banking interests, and that advocacy of unlimited free coinage of silver on the 16 to 1 basis is a part.of this duty. It would seem that only those who have a direct interest in the increased production of silver would be inelined to assent to these statements, but there is no hiding the fact that a very great proportion of the people in. this country are inclined to be- lieve those who preach free silver or who proclaiming bimetallism do ‘so only for the purpose of deceiving the unwary. All over the country, but mainly throughout the rural regions, the silver Jeaders have scat- tered broadcast argument of the popular sort, some of it pictorial, but all of it so simply stated that the wayfaring man ac- cepts it without question. To offset the campaign which is being waged by the sil- ver people, little that is practical has been done. A few documents have been issued by the friends of sound currency but often the.terms used are uncommon and the logic involved. There was therefore sound rea- son for the presidential call. The organiza- tion of the silver workers must be met and opposed by an organization of*those who realize that disaster will surely follow any successful movement in the direction of fiat money. The people are not yet fanatically pledged to silver monometallism; they may be turned from the error of the way in which there is possibility of their going by terse, lucid appeals to their common seuise. ——_+ e+ —_ On the twenty-third of May an oppor- tunity will be given to the citizens of Alex- andria county to take an active and mili- tant part in, the contest being waged against the vice and lawlessness with which they are beset, which has thus far Deen carried on a@p st exclusively by the reputable people on this side of the river. The law-abiding residents of Washingten have been for years shocked and ougaged by the brazen disregard of decency and Jaw that has been disp!iyed on the Vi shore of the Potomac and which an impregnable barrier to home- that direction as well as a morals of the young and/<upressionabie among the residents of the fhational capital. The Mvening Star‘has suliceeatly shown that the main reason for existence of so much evil in near-by Vi¥sinia % the failure of the law officers of Alexandria county to preserve the peace and uphuld the statutes in compliance with their sol- emn vaths of office. At the approaching election the peopie of Alexandria county will have the chance to choose between giv- ing ‘the present official direction of the county another term of four years and the inauguration of an era of reform which will purify the plague-spots that now dis- grace the Old Dominion and threaten the national capital. It remains with the Alex- andrid county people, therefore, and with them alone, to decide whether they prefer to live in a community beset with crim- inals and foul with viciousness or enjoy the comicrts and blessings that ever follow where the beneficent intluence of the law is Properly and vigorousiy exercised. The votes of the Virgiaians across the river will tell the story. ——+ ++ —____ As soon as the attention of oil is not otherwire engaged some of it might with advantage find its way to the troubled Political waters in New York. ———~--__ _ Now—and right now—is the time to feei enthusiastic over the Washington bali team's prospect of winning the pennant. —_——- 02 - Tke authorities announce that they are investigating the matter of the alleged nuisunce and street obstruction at the cor- ner of 11th and O streets, where the Belt Line—or what was once a belt line—has a terminal station with a string of horses standing in the streets from before sunrise until long after dark. It is an intricate prob- lem and requires time for its solution. It has already taken nine days, and there is no idea when a decision wil be reached. ‘The police force has made a record during the past winter for keenuess of vision in observing street obstructions. Its members have been known to detect a sign that overhung the street by half a foot. They have confiscated banana stands that pro- truded seven-eighths of an inch beyond the building line. They have with rare skill ferreted out illegal barber-poles, and have actually been known to find improperly projecting horse-blocks. All these things have the policemen done, and it must be that they are exhausted from their extraor- dinary efforts, or it may be that while they are able to see signs and barber-poles and horse-blocks, and boot-black stands as street obstructions, there is a defect in their vision that bars them from distin- guishing horses standing in and obstructing’ the public streets. Can there be such a thing as horse-blindness, even as there is color-blindness? A rooster crowing before the legal hour in a neighbor’s back yard is good ground for complaint by a citizen who thinks he has an inalienable right to fe, Uberty, property and slumber. | He may have that offending rooster arrested and fined, perhaps impounded in lieu of im- prisonment. He may even have it sen- tenced to suffer the extreme penalty of the law. To crow before hours is indeed an awful offense. But it may yet be demon- strated, when the authorities have finished investigating, that horses may be allowed to stand in the public street for sixteen or eighteen hours each day, and clatter their restless hoofs on the pavement, and rattle their harness, and fill the air with foul stenches, and be léss of a nuisance than the glad young male of the gallus domesti- cus family. As a plain proposition, appeal- ing to plain people. it has been suggésted that two car tickets and one hour would have amply sufficed, on any day of the past two weeks, to demonstrate the justice of the complaints of the residents in’that vicinity; that ten ninutes’ of observation by an unprejudiced agent with good eyes would be all the investigation that this very simple case requires. ———-,¢ = —___ The statistician of the Agricultural De- Partment announces that in the ten years ending June 30, 1894, there were imported into this country almost thirty million bushels of potatoes, with a value aggre- gating over thirteen millions ef dollars, being an average of 446-10 cents per bushel. There were, of course, exports of Potatoes in this same period, but the im- ports exceeded the exports by more than twenty-four millions of bushels, with a value of nearly ten million doilars. This suggests two facts: First, that it is one of the curiosities of the history of agricul- ture that potatoes, which were discovered in this country, are now being mainly se- eured by America from other lands; sec- ond, that these statistics farnish an excel- lent argument for the extension of the Detroit plan for the cultivation of pota- toes by the poor into,all the large cities of the country. It ts very much like carrying coals to Newcastle for Great Britain to help to supply America with this staple tuber, which found its way from these shcres into Ireland and there sccured its name of the “trish potato.” The great demand for this importation must natur- ally some from the cities rather than the country, for the latter parts may be con- fidently expected to be self-sustaining in this particular. It must be the urban pop- ulation that causes this demand for foreign Potatoes, and it has already been demon- strated that at least a part of the citizens of large communities can raise enough of these roots to supply their table and have perhaps a surplus for sale. Ai all events, @ general application of the Detroit: plan, the success of which is fairly well demon- strated, could not fail to diminish the enor- meus bulk of this importation and so re- duce’ the output of gold in payment which, as is seen by the figures, aggregates about @ million dollars a year. This is, however, purely incidental to the question ot greater loeal interest of how to supply the poor with food. Few suggestions have been made of late years in the line of solving the problem of non-demoralizing charitable relief that have so many merits and so many chances of successful execution as this idea of causing the poor to help them- selves by farming on the vacant land of the cities and their suburbs. —____+ «= When, during that period in the -Fifty- third Congress devoted to discussion of the income tax proposition, it was many times asserted that aside from ihe unpopularity of the tax it would prove Ainancially un- successful, comparatively little attention was given to the warning. Again and again was it shown tkat other things than thrift were available for purposes of taxa- tion, but each and all of these suggestions suffered overthrow at the hands of men who had not previously been suspected of strong leanings toward populism. At that time it was loudly asserted that the tax would produce from thirty to forty millions of dollars annually at least, although there never were any facts upon which to base such estimates. Since that time the United States Supreme Court has chopped the law considerably, and now the calculators en- joy the blessed privilege of unclouded vis- ion. Official ennouncement has been made by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue to the Secretary of the Treasury. to the ef- fect thaf the government will not collect more than fourt2en million dollars during the present year. It is reasonable to im- agine that had there been a fuil bench of the Supreme Court when the income tax arguments were :nade the probabie collec- tion would have been less than the esti- mated expenses; believed to be somewhere in the neighborhood cf one hundred and thirty-five thousand doliars. Of course there will be some disappointment at the failure to add to the treasury receipts the vast sums whicn it was unreasonably tought could be squeezed out of the men whose active brains and physical skill en- able them to earn more than four thousand dollars a ysar, but there are in the United States a great many people who could, if they were so inclined, say “I told you so.” —_—__+ e +____ There were seventy-seven men employed on the city post-oillee building today, a smaller number than has been engaged on that structure for seme time past. The overdue fron-work has not put in an ap- pearance, ior is it expected in the very near future.

With genuine regret the Bulletin recently called attention to the sale of a grange charter issued by the Virginia legisiature “for the promotion of agriculture,” &c., to a racing association and thus brought disgrace to the firm name of the grange. The following interview with Gov. O’Fer- rall ef Virginia, as published in the Wash- ington, D. C., Evening Star of Mareh 30, will convince every patron of the necessity of wresting the name of the grange from such .associations: * * * The posi- tion of the Bulletin reed not be mis- understood by any, fer it is simply and emphatically a demand in behalf of the good name of the order, for either the revokimg of the charter as sold or such change of title as shall perfectly’ sever the name of the grange from it. If every patron of the land could see and read the five columns of illustrated matter as pub- lished in the same issue of The Star as mentioned above, under the title of “Where Crime Rutes,” the force ef our position would be better understood. We, however, Jook anxiousiy but patiently for such ac- tion as grange offtcials cam, should and will take to remedy the matter. ————_ r0e Next Summe: From the Chicago Tribune.
