THE EVENING STAR.. WASHINGTON. TURSDAY.. see. May 14, 1895. CROSBY S. NOY! . Editor. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation much more m the combined circulation of the other Washington dailies. Asa News and Advertising Medium tt has no competitor. lm order to avoid delays, on ace count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any individwal connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Edftorinl or Bu jens =Depart- ments, necording to tenor or purpose. George Washington’s warning against partisan bitterness has not been heeded by the people of tke United States. There ™may perhaps be as much of warmth gener- ated in some of the intensely-frictional political situations in Europe, but careful comparison indicates American ability to hold its own in competition with the old world shouters of party battle-cries, the carriers of torches, the blowers of horns, the pinsers of campaign melodies. Here the Average democrat is confident that the republican is a foe to the commen progress, while the average republican Is satisfied that the democrat is utterly unfit to gov- ern, Yet, in the midst of such surround- ings, the independent newspaper has achieved great success. To be sure, there are in this country successful journals which are devoted mainly to the upbuild- ing of this or that party, but there is nothing of upfairness in the statement that the governmental or political news which they print Is regarded with more or less suspicion by readers who are in-search of unaculterated truth. The party newspaper sees no harm in presenting to its readers stories that are improperly tinted by par- tisan artists, and in many instances be- Keves that it is doing the public a service by slightly distorting the facts so as to make them appear not as they really are, but as the partisan policy of the news- paper would like to have them. The inde- pendent journal does not stoop to prac- tices which are much too common— * although less common than they were a few years ago—in the journalism of today. The independent newspaper gives to its readers its honest opinion on all subjects that may properly be discussed in public and is actuated by no other motive than that which has in view the welfare of the pation or the community. To be truly in- dependent it is not enough that a new paper shall be free to criticise any and ail of the political parties; it must be at liberty to speak for the people when corporate scheming endangers the people's interests; it must resent any effort to equip it with a muzzle; it must be above reproach. Discussing this interesting topic, the Chi- cago Times-Herald says editorially: “The experience of the last twenty years has shown that with the proverbial excep- tions which prove the rule—exceptions which can be accounted for in every case either by the strength of an editor’s per- sonal equation or peculiar local conditions— the measure of a newspaper's independence has been the measure of its popular ac- eptability and consequent pecuniary suc- cess. The New York Herald is a towering monument to this theory. The Sun is an- other. The phenomenal prosperity of the World began with its emancipation from party thralls and the application of bu: ness methods to every department of its management. In Philadelphia the Ledger, in Baltimore the Sun and in Washington The Star still stand easily first in their re- spective communities as good newspaper properties. In Chicago the Record end Evening News maintain a lead in circula- tion which its competitors frankly concede. In Boston the Herald and the Globe bear witness to the value of independence as an investment. Some of these papers lean one way and some the other in politics, but nct one of them wears the collar of a party or a political boss.” Even the paragraph quoted will prob- ably fail to convince some of those jour- nals which so freely allege independence, but which at times fall lamentably short of the stature to which they lay claim, that unswerving uprightness {s financially profitable; yet such is unquestionably the fact. The Times-Herald has cast Its lot in with all that is best in American journalism. It announces that: “The Times-Herald a few weeks ago took its place in this vanguard of the great newspapers of the country, and that place it proposes to hold. It speaks for the pub- Ie interests as interpreted in the light of the conscience of its editor, and absolutely without regard to party fealty or associa- tions.” The Star hopes and believes that Mr. Kohlsaat’s paper will live up to the high standard which he has set for tt. There cannot be too many purely independent journals in this or any other country. oe There {s a good deal of difference between the mere opinion of a man in whose po- litical breast hope springs eternal and the man whose business it is to be governed by facts and by figures that have reason- able resemblance to facts. Senator Voor- hees—who has come to be a vehement ad- vocate of the income-tax—announces him- self as satisfied that the income-tax law as it stands will, when It is in complete operation, bring in a revenue of $20,000,000. Were tbls conclusion anything more than Senator Voorh opinion there would be h less of gloom at the Treasury De- artment, but, inasmuch as the returns are all in, the Treasury Department ts fully convinced that Senator Voorhees is talking without due regard for the indisputable testimony now stowed away in the secret archives of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue. If this administration—suppos- ing the law should be declared constitu- onal—skall secure the unwilling contribu- of $15,000,000 it will do all it expects to do. As an easy possib’ unwilling- ness, as expressed in litigatory delays, will be quite likely to cut down’ the amount to cieven or twelve million dollars. Bestes, there will not be any income-tax law as soon as the Fifty-fourth Congress settles down to the transaction of business. oe ‘The injury to American grapes threatens to be so great that some of this country’s imported wine will have to be obtained in Europe. ————_ + + ___ If China is capable of profiting by ex- perience she will lose no time in organizing a Lexow committee and a National Gua. —+ 0 2 The kola nut may never become a for i- lar food, but in view of the resuits achieved by careful experimenters w his remark- avle drug it is likely to achieve considerable repute hing on which to depend in case : is it Ukely the stim sessed | or artificial this covn specially valuable for os in the field, this ri © powers not pos- duct, natural experimenting in conducted by an army s at Fort Sheridan, end while he has not yet come out as an uncompromising advocate of the kola nut’s fied himself that es away new life min body me to he nut is be no alue of the stin- ns y Tete known Military y has been it svoth the tor! to weary would reat the extraor been made—-Dr. Chaz of the mile~ first ane} aving w f the kola beans, while Lieu containing three or four ounces of the essence of kola in liquid form. Dur- ing the entire period of the experiment neither of the officers partook of any other refreshment than kola; they had it for breakfast and lunch and took a Httle of it between wniles whenever they felt hungry or thirsty or tired. Their novel subsistence was somewhat disagreeable to the taste, but its bitterness was not sufficient to re- sult in dislike. For the first ten miles or so ef the trip both officers found some dif- ficulty in breathing, and attributed it to the nut, but that difficulty soon passed away, and thereafter respiration was nor- mal. Less than four nuts sufficed to keep both pedestrians in first-class condition throughout thelr tramp of thirty-five miles. At the end of the day, when they had re- turned to Fert Sheridan, they suffered but Very litte from muscular fatigue, although neither of them was in training, while Lieut. Harris had barely recovered from an attack of grip. Dr. Woodruff had some little difficulty in getting to sleep that night, but that condition was not at all surprising to him. He testifies that there Was no such reaction as is commonly to be exfected from stimulants, no depression of spirits, nothing but insomnia similar to that induced by the excessive use of coffee. An attempt a week later to repeat the tramp without the assistance of the kola nut resulted in so much of fatigue that the trip was cut short. England and Germany aye both experimenting with the kola nut for military purposes, and although no definite conclusions have been announced as to its value, there is, nevertheless, a general impression to the effect that it will brove to be a good thing for an army whose commissary wagons are a long way to the rear. —__ ++ e__—_ ‘The prolonged cold snap has done a great deal of damage at a time when people who are inclined to be optimistic were hoping that a season of great plenty would put an end to a long period of general depression and unprecedented individual want. Up to Sunday last there was promise of an enor- mous fruit harvest, but the unseasonable frcst has worked great desolation as far west as the Missouri river, the only not- able exception as to locality being the peach-growing regions in Maryland and Delaware. Grapes, cherries, strawberries, end in some places apples and peaches, were destroyed beyond the possibility of revival; early vegetables have also suffered much, while in very many »laces the dam- ege to wheat and corn has been so great as to make replanting necessary. Consequent upcen such a misfortune must be a great ccal of discouragement, but it Is not lkely that any considerable amoynt of time will be wasted in repining; it Is the American way to wipe out, and, if possible, forget the past, and settle down to a steady hustle fer today and for the future. That there will be anything like a fruit famine is far from a probability, for the tremendously- prolific states of the south and on the Pacific slope have not suffered from the atmospheric conditions which have so un- fortunately afflicted the east and middle west. ———__ ++ ___ There wer: ninety and nine men employ- ed upon the city post office building today.
