As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competi tle order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any individ connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, ac ing to tenor or purpose. A Proud Nation in Decay. Spain, as the phrase is, dies hard. She is staggering under a load of debt, her credit is gone, her commanders and soldiers are discredited in the field, her policies for put- ting down rebellion in her colonies are widely denounced for their inhumanity, but she holds on desperately. It is, in all like- lihood, the expiring exhibition of what was once a most sturdy national spirit fortified by intense national pride. Spain was once a great power. She led in progress. Her mariners were the boldest afl They took all risks and accom- plished many things. In arts and literature she achieved and held high place. Her flag floated over many rich possessions. She was in the field of colonization before Eng- land. But she could not keep the pace. Bhe began to drop behind—slowly at first, but rapidly after awhile. Her courage did Bot desert her. Her soldiers still fought well, and her statesmen in council still ad- Yocated the upholding of Spanish authority Wherever it existed. All, however, to no purpose. Her colonies on this side of the water began to grow restive, then they rebelled, and then, all but Cuba and Porto Rico threw off the yoke. Her decline since then has been marked and swift, and to- day she is a bankrupt among the aations. For explanation of her failure one has only to examine the characteristics of her people. They are fierce and uncomprom- ising. They are no longer progressive. ‘They suport a pride which prevents them from studying with profit the agencies that are making for progress elsewhere. Spaia Jearned no lesson from the loss of her Cen- tral and South American colonies. Had she learned the lesson that was obvious she would have improved the government of Cuba so as to attach that island the more closely to her. England, before that, had learned the lesson, and has been “ap- plying it wisely and profitably ever since. English rule in Canada, Australia, India, in all of her colonies, owes much of its success to England's experience with the territory which afterwards became the United States. Having discovered that people of her own blood and language living under her flag at a distance from the mother country had aspirations and rights of their own worthy of respect, England meted out to her remaining colonies the justice to which they were entitled. And they are her loyal subjects today. Spain would have none of this, and will have none of it now. The only rule she knows is iron rule. She took her colonies by force, and she holds them by force. She forgets, or refuses to see, that when she took them they were peopled by savages, but that now her own people are there. She is too hard with her own. There is mild and beneficent rule all around Cuba, and necessarily the Coban people have rebelled against the tyranny that has long been imposed upon them. Spain will not relent, nor will they, and so the fight goes ony Justice demands that Spain should lose, and in the end justice will prevail. —-- +e —___. Improve in All Respects. The reorganized police department will be wise to respond very slowly to the sug- gestion that it has heretofore surfeited the community with moral solicitude and ex- cess of detective work, and that a change of policy in this regard is desirable. Un- doubtedly an improvement is demanded in tke handling of murderers, thieves, ravish- ers and other malefactors, but there is no popular outery for a withdrawal of atten- tion from the speak-easies and gambling places which aid so materially in converting men into thi ves, ravishers and murderers. The complaint is not of an excess of detec- tive work; the demand is for more and bet- ter detective work. The greater the solici- tude for the morals of the community felt by the police the more enthusiastic and «ffective their labors in enforcement of the lccal laws will probably be, and the better the public will be pleased. While primarily the protectors of life and property the police force must enforce all laws and ap- prehend: all law-breakers, great or small, and nothing but harm can come to the force and to the people of the city if the notion is entertained that zeal in the pur- suit of a murderer or burglar serves to excuse police sympathy with and con- nivance in the form of law-breaking which is committed by the speak-easy and the gambling resort. To this pestiferous theory can be traced the source of notorious Police corruption in several of our large cities. Our police reform must not be one- sided. One set of important duties must be done; the others must not be left un- done. ——_ + += —____ In connection with the transmission of electric power the Commissioners dre alert- ly on the look-out for overhead wires and . urderground methods. —_++e—____ Notwithstarding the era of prosperity that ts promised, a great many pecple are perfectly willing to take consulships ard live somewhere else. ——_ ++e_____ Mr. Gorman may not be the only demo- cratic leader whose health will be affected by a return of prosperity. — «> __. Kentucky’s Republican Convention. The Kentucky republicans in state con- vention yesterday steered a compromise course. Factional differences were com+ posed on the broader lines, and the platform presented was unanimously adopted. A serious wrangle had been threatened over the question of indorsing the state administration. The Star referred to this last week. The Hunter men were not at the outset friendly to the proposition, Their Personal hostility to Gov. Bradley made them disinclined to support a resolution from Which he would derive personal com- fort. But reflection very properly convinced them that they could not in the circum- stances afford to indulge their personal feelings in the premises? and a stereotyped, impersonal resolution of indorsement was adopted. How soothing this may be to the Bradleyites remains to be seen. They made ne open bid in the convention for anything stronger. The plank relating to the civil service is in these terms: “We are opposed to a sys- tem of civil service that builds up an official class, practically a life tenure in almost all branches of the public service, and we demand that the civil service be so modified as to limit the terms of service to four years, with the privilege of reappoint- ment or promotion, subject to such restric- tions as will secure competent officials, and to every section of the country its proper portion of them.” This of course is a veiled attack on the civil. service law as it stands and ts being administered by the President. All talk of a four years’ term for all employes of the government is at bottom nothing but a proposition to return to the old spoils sys- tem. That ‘is to say, let everything be @ivided up at the end of every four years and apportioned among the states accord- ing to agreements reached by local leaders. The Kentucky republicans should have spoken with more directness on this sub- ject, or not at all. A party which declares itself so explicitly and courageously on the money question and the tariff question should not undertake to trim or speak speciously on any question. The campaign opens with four tickets in the field, and a full tide of enthusiasm flowing. Last year the sound money dem- ecrats and the republicans stocd together, and the silver democrats and the populists shoulder to shoulder. This year the popu- lists led off by refusing fusion with the silver democrats, and the republicans have now followed the sound money democrats in putting up a ticket of their own. The motto of the state ought temporarily to be changed. Instead of “United we stand, Givided we fall,” it should read, “Divided we stand, and Union is out of the ques- tion." The November result cannot with safety be predicted. ——_~++s____ An Old Project Revived. Washingtonians who belteve that it is feasible and advisable to complete the aiandored equeduct tunnel will sympa- thize with the efforts row being made to revive the lorg slumbering project of tun- ne'ling under the Hudson river between Jersey City and New York. This under- taking was begun in 1874 and was pushed with varying degrees of energy until 1802, when the death of the principal financial backer of the project caused a stoppage of the werk. A movement is now on foot to ccmplete the tunnel, which is more than balf dug. The plan is to foreclose the mortgage and for the stockholders to bid in the franchise and properties. The ex- pectation is that with a million more the werk can be finished, and an effort will be made after reorganization is effected to secure a loan of a million and a half. The work already done has cost about four miilions. The present bondholders are mainly English capitalists and it is thougnt that the money needed for resumption can readily be secured from the same sources. The tunnel proper is to be 5,40 feet long, and of this distance 3,916 feet have been covered from the Jersey shore, and 170 feet from the New York shaft. The pres- ent plans contemplate a change in the New York terminus that will shorten the distance and provide a more convenient outlet. The tunnel thus far dug has long since filled with water from the seepage but it is estimated that this can be pumped out in two weeks and the active work need not be delayed beyord that period after the funds are in hand. The average rate of progress urder the old management was about four feet a day and at the same rate the tunnel would be bored from shaft to shaft in about 250 days from the resumption of werk. The interest in this effort to revive the cld project is made the keener by rea- son of the fact that work is slowly pro- gressing in preparation for the construction of the great North River bridge that is to permit rail connection direct with New YorK from the south and west. The two schemes are necessarily much alike and there is sufficient need of communication between Jersey City and New York by other means than the slow and easily block ided ferry boats to warrant the con- struction of both. ——>+o—____ Closed Cars for Stormy Weather. Every time this city is visited by a storm during the summer months the public is treated to a farce that would be a good deal more humorous if it did not involve ‘so much annoyance to those who are forced to witness it. Apparently, the only intima- tion the street railway companies have of an approaching storm is the arrival of the tempest itself in all its fury, when wind, rain and hail, separately or combined, are sweeping the streets, and forcing the peo- ple within doors or on the street cars. At such times the open car is sure to be in service, and through its medium the public is given an excellent opportunity for a drenching. When the storm is about over the managers of the street railway com- panies become cognizant of its presence in the city, and order out closed cars; and, to make up for the delay in getting them out, the stuffy conveyances are kept on duty long after the sky is free from clouds and the storm has left the American continent and begun its transit across the Atlantic ocean. It was natural that this farce should be repeated last night, while a mul- titude of people were returning to their homes from excursions down the river. It may be that the officers of the railway companies are not aware of the existence of a weather bureau in this country, and of the fact that the main offices of that efficient service are located in Washington. The offici of the weather bureau have always sought to popularize the service over which they preside by catering to the public whenever the safety or convenience of the people has been threatened by storms of any kind. The approach of a storm to the city, the exact time of its ar- rival and its probable duration can always be predicted with the greatest accuracy when foresight of but an hour or so is !n- volved. There is no reason why the street railway companies should not avail them- selves of this information, with the result of having closed cars on the streets during storms and open ones doing duty when the weather is fair. ——___++«—-—__ Bacilli and Bliss in Baltimore. The health authorities of Baltimore have made a harrowing discovery that cannot fail to have a most depressing effect upon the young people of the Monumental City, especially at this season of the year. It has been proved that the waters of a cer- tain mill race in the suburbs of Baltimore are dangerously malarial and the health of residents in the vicinity has been seri- ously affected. That fact of itself suffices to warrant profound sympathy, but this feeling becomes acute when it is made known that the banks of the mill race in question have for three-quarters of a cen- tury been famous as a strolling ground for young lovers. Indeed so picturesque are the surroundings, so deep the shades and so arcadian the atmosphere that the path- way along the little water course has been styled “Lovers’ Walk” in honor of the sentimental couples who for years have utilized the spot for the interchange of vows of affection. It is sad now to think that for seventy-five years the youthful lovers of Baltimore and the surrounding ecuntry have been strolling up and down this miasmatic mill race, ignorant of its dangers and inhaling entire colonies of germs and saturating their systems with bacilli along with their bliss. There is no estimating the damage that has been done during these decades by this insidious in- fluence. If the authorities of Baltimore wish to perpetuate themselves in the re- gard of their constituents and ingratiate themselves especially in the hearts of the rising generation they will clean out the Calverton mill race and plant a few more trees along its banks. The Cubans contemplate the prospect of a new head of Spanish affairs with the con- viction thaf any change is not likely to be for the worse. ——_~>+e—____ Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan does not figure in any of the enterprises organized for the purpose of making a run on nature’s gold reserve in Alaska. ———_++e—___. Compressed Foods. ‘The mining rush to Klondike has at- tracted attention anew to the wonderful advances that have been made in the past few years in the preparation of foods in compressed form for travelers and explor- ers. It has been repegtedly told of the Alaskan gold fields thas the chief danger ¥ to the fortune seekers there was starva- ticn. The fields are so isolated and diff- cult of access that the transportation of provisions is virtually the most serious problem confronting the adventurers, espe- cially in view of the shortness of the sea- son. The wise ones, however, have stocked up with the desiccated foods that can now be obtained in quantity, and it is probable that these men will find that they have a mest advantageous handicap over those who travel loaded down with hundreds of pounds of food stuffs, which will not only increase their freight charges, but may spoil. It is declared by chemjsts who have studied this subject that rations for one mar for a yea: can now be condensed into tkirty pounds in weight and into such a small bulk trat the entire supply can be packed in an ordinary valise. This almost incredible result is. achieved mainly by ccmpression after special preparation, re- moving from the material all the waste and useless portions and preserving only that part which contributes to the nutrition of the body. A cup of tea or coffee is now obtainable from a tablet about as big as a coat button, sugar and all. Other buttons are prepared from soup materials. A loaf. dy Refrigerator 10 ‘equal, $5.50 up.

There seems, indeed, no limit to the variety of foods that can be thus con- densed. This diet has few attractions, ex- cept to meet an emergency, but it appears to be now entirely unnecessary for men to go into the wilderness and starve because of their inability to carry enough food. It is recalled that one of the first practical applications of this principle in rationing to warfare was undertaken by the Japan- ese in the late war with China. The Jap- anese soldiers were equipped with dinner belts, bearing capsules, buttons, pills and other forms of compressed food, each belt weighing about ten pounds, containing food supplies sufficient to last thirty days. This equipment gave the soldiers of the mikado an enormous advantage over their celestial enemies. — + 2 The tenacity with which a man remains of the same opinion when convinced against his will was in evidence long be- fore the adage crystalizing the thought was given the world. It will doubtless continue to be in evidence as long as the world wags en.
