Observation-Disclosures.

A prominent citizen made peculiar
complaint against the gas monopoly at
The Times office yesterday. In January he
mailed a check too late 10 entitle him TO
the usual discount allowed on bills paid
before the eighth of'the month. The amount
OF discount was charged on his February
bill, which was ignored when the Febru-
airy gas bill was paid. The matter ran
along until the APPS gas bill was rendered,
when, 10 his astonishment, the gas mo-
nopoly charged him up with the original
Sl2O and also S1-2O for each OF the sue
ceeding months, making a penalty OF
$3.50 for his non-payment of the delin-
quent discount.
This system of robbery may not be en-
tirely new, but it is certainly unique. The
monopoly has a right TO refuse to make dis
count after a certain date, but according
10 all rules OF business honesty it should
not compound q debt by doubling it each
successive month.
The gentleman in question desires TO
organize an anti-monopoly league and Of
fers 10 contribute S25 toward The forna-
ton OF such an association. The Times
freely offers its columns TO promote such a
league and calls upon those interested 10
assist in its organization. Communications
on this subject should be addressed 10 the
managing editor Meantime don't forget
20 send in your gas coupons.

THE oRGENrAL SITUATION.

Every fair minded person will SYM
pathize with Japan in her forced submis-
sion TO The combined interests of Europe.
After an expensive, spirited campaign she
gallantly conquered China. and by all
that was fair in war was entitled 20 die
tate terms OF peace. This she I'D, and the
terms were accepted, but seeing an orpor-
4unity TO serve their own interests Russia,
England and Germany 1nterposed, and
Japan was compelled TO surrender the
territorial advantages aimed by her
conquest.
The Intervention of the European pow
ers was no doubt inteuScd 10 gam Tie con-
fidence OF the Chinese, and npen tie way
10 more favorable trade relations. Nat
urally there win be an Antipathy against
anything Japanese in the Chinese mar
kets, and the nations that place China

The United states early entered the ORR
entail field as mediator, but IL vas as a
friend TO both contestants, ana rpt as a
protector OF either. This is ilie legitimate
function Of a peace-maker. but in tiis in
stance il may not prove the isest policy
TO promote commercial relations. Japan
is a manufacturing, progressive country,
that exports rather than imports. China
is ages behind Christendon in snd1siry and
thrift, and this war will open ier mar

POWERFUL.
All Admit That the Evidence i.
Stronq--DE Walkers Ability
Recognized by All.

In the treatment of nervous, chronic, and
special diseases, no doubt exists as TO DR..
R. A Walkers extraordinary skill. The
many testimonials of seemingly impossible
cures that we have published frotl. Gay to
day are, many of them, signed, sworn TO,
and attested by prominent well known citi-
zens ard Business men, 80 they cannot be
doubted 1t is the general verdict among
the entire medical fraternity that DR..
Walker stands at the head of the proies-
sion in his chosen speciality. A Visit TO
DR.. Walkers sanitarium, at l4ll Penn
syivap!a av}nue, adjoining Wizards Ho-
tel, yesterday, showed his pariors crowded
W. "a the afflicted OF both sexes, wait
ing their turn for consultation or treat

nattering 10 that gentleman's wonderful
ability and skill.
BY MAIL.
While Dr.. Walker himself could not be
seen, it was learned from the gentleman
in attendance that, while the doctors
time is fully occupied daily from 10 TO D,
and Sundays from 10 TO IL, and Wednes-
day and Saturday evenings from 10 8,
with those who call TO see him, he yet finds

ft is believed by those familiar with the
views of Justice Jackson on taxation that
the income tax viii be declared uuconsti-
tutional AT all events, the tax must
stand or fall on his opinion. The remainder
of the Supreme Court are on record either
for the present emasculated law or in
favor Of lis repeal, and their minds VIII
remain unchanged. II this inteTpreta-
ton OF the situation is correct Justice Jack
son Will do the country a favor should lac
decide against the Income tax. Any law
that exempts the incomes of boud-clippers
and rent-collectors, aud taxes the earn
ings OF producers, is not only unjust but is
outrageous, aud should be expunged from
our statutes.
The growth Of industry and universal
progress is due 10 people who work. La
bOr, either by hand or brain, is the factor
of SUCCESS, and TO tax that factor TO the
exclusion Of the drones OF wealth is in-
justice aud a shameful misuse Of law.
1t was decided by the Supreme Court at
previous bearing that il was uncousttu-
tonal 10 tax rents or incomes derived
from State and municipal bonds. All
fair-minded persons must agree that The
burden OF au income tax, with this excep-
ton, falls entirely upon the element of
prosperity that builds and creates, aud
that it is a pervorsion of the original in
tent OF the law.
When Congress passed the income tax
its declared purpose was TO reach the
fortunes of the wealthy, and TO tax pros
perity for the benefit of wage-carneIs.
IN its present form the law VIII only tax
the employers OF labor, and exempt pco-
pie OF leisure, who invest their money III
rental property aud bonds.
The law should be repealed.

Judge Kimball's decision that overhead

opportunity for an enforcement of the law
bearing on this subject in many parts OF
our city, and it should be looked after
without delay.

THE COLORS IN MUSIC
An Organ Which Flashes Rhythmical Waves
of Color

New York World: Can sounds be
translated into color, and can the mu-
sical tones that now exist solely for the
ear be transformed until they appeal
definitely to the eye as well? That is the
modern and also an old question whicn is
being answered in the affirmative by the
devotees OF what is knowon as "coior
music.
The art has suddenly become serious
one, and a wealthy artist named Riving-
ton, who lives in London, has recently
invented and nut into operation, at 9 cost
of nearly $40, 600, color organ. > by
means OF which, as certain notes are
struck, the melody is reproduced in be.
wilderng succession of color tones and
combinations on a screen, at the same in.
slant they are heard by the ear.
At preliminary recital in StJames'
hall the other day the exquisite delcacy
of the mechanism of this new instrument
found TO be wholly adequate. Chopin S
preludes were played. and the screen
showed bewiiderng succession of
rhythmical waves of color, passing SO
rapidly that il was hard for the eye to
take them all in, ranging from beginning
to end of the spectrum, and flashing not
only the intern ediate tones, half tones
Vulnerable lovely com bnations whicn
hitherto had never suggested themselves
to the Imagination, but were the inevita-
BILE result of harmony that worked the
same for the eye as for the ear.
Hardly possible, and more within the
domain of fairyland than the regions Of
actual science, seems this art of 'color
music" but it is certain that this much
was actually accomplished; that unend-
ing com binations of color were produced
by the mechanical principles that govern
the diatonic scale and musical octaves.
What the exact details of his instrument
may be. and just how each color is pro-
duceG, Mr.. Rivington will not divulge.
All that is known is that the new ''color
organ" is played upon key board which
is almost the exact counterpart of that
used for piano, and that whenever Il
note is struck its color appears upon the
screen. Chords show combinations of
tints that are only comparable to har-
monte combinations of musical notes,
middle c corresponding, for example. to
the low red OF the spectrum. The other
Cs OF the eyboard. when struck show yet
other reds, toning perfectly.
Without carrying the description fur
ther, it may thus readily be seen how the
colors grade, shade and tone, ana how the
sharpening of a piano note or its hatten-
ing makes the suggestion OF a change of
color hardly to be expressed with a
painters brush, yet quite perceptible to
the visual senses.
This instrument has an especial fascn
alton, for the reason that it is the first in
the world TO show a definite connection
between sound and color.
