The authorities announce that they are
investigating the matter of the alleged
nuisance and street obstruction at the cor
ner of 18th and streets, where the Belt
Line-or what was once belt line-has
terminal station with string of horses
standing in the streets from before sunrise
until long after dark. 1t is an intricate prob
lem and requires time for its solution 1t
has already taken nine days, and there is
no idea when a decision will be reached
The police force has made a record during
the past winter for keenness of vision in
observing street distractions. 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 bankruptcies, 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-
binary 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 distractions, there Is a defect in
their vision that bars them from distin-
gushing horses standing in and obstruc ting
the public streets. Can there be such a
thing as horse-blindness, even as there ia

On the twenty-third of May an oppor-
tunity will be given to the citizens of Alex
Rndria county to take an active and mill
tant part in the contest being wagsd
against the vice and lawlessness with
which they are beset, which has thus far
been carried Oh - st exclusively by the
reputable people on this side of the river
The law-abiding residents of Washington
have been for years shocked and ou Gagged
by the brazen disregard of decency and
law that has been displayed on the Virginia
shore Of the Potomac and which hs% been
an impregnable barrier to home-ss@Elrs in
that direction as well as wSsnace to the
morals of the young and EInpressionabi
among the residents of the Rational capital
The Evening Star has suNic>-atiy shown
that the main reason for the existence of
30 much evil in nearby Virginia = the
failure of the law officers of Alexandria
county to preserve the peace and uphold
the statutes in compliance with their SOL
emn oaths of office. AT the approaching
election the people of Alexandra county
will have the chance TO choose between CIV
ing the present official direction of the
county another term of four years and the
will purify the plague-spots that now dis
grace the Old Dominion and threaten the
national capital. 1t remains with the Alex
andria county people, therefore, and with
them alone, to decide whether they prefer
to live in a community beset with GRIM
tnals and foul with yiciOusness or enjoy the
comforts and blessings that ever follow
where the beneficent influence of the law is
properly and vigorously exercised. The
votes OF the Virginians across the river will
tell the story.

, the American Grange Bulletin.

From the American Grange Bulletin
With genuine regret the Bulletin recently
called attention to tine sale of a grange
charter issued by the Virginia legislature
flor 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. OFFER
rail- of Virginia, as published in the Wash
sngton, D. c., Evening Star Of March 80,
will convince every patron of the necessity
of wrestling the name of the grange from
such associations: ." The posi-
ton of the Bulletin reed not be mis-
understood by any, fer it is simply
and enphatically a demand in behalf of
the good name of the order. for either
the revokins 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 pub
lished in the same issue of The Star as
mentioned above, under the title of Where
Crime Rules" the force of our position
would be better understood We, however,
look anxiousfy but patiently for such &C
ton as grange officials can, should and
will take to remedy the matter.

When, during that period in the Fifty
third Congress devoted to discussion of the
income tax proposition, 1t was many times
asserted that aside from The unpopularity
of the tax it would prove financially I'M
successful, comparatively little attention
was given to the warning. Again and
again was it shown that other things than
thrift were available for purposes of taxa
ton, but each ard all of these suggestions
suffered overthrow at the hands of men
who had not previously been suspected of
strong lean1ngs 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 Wis
ion. Official announcement has been made
by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue
to the Secretary of the Treasury to the eff
feet that the government will not collect
more than fourteen million dollars during
the present year. 1t is reasonable to i'm
agine that had there been a fun bench of
the Supreme Court when the income tax
arguments were made the probable collec-
ton would have been less than the esti-
mated expenses: believed to be somewhere
in the neighborhood Of one hundred and
thirty-five thousand dollars. OF course
there will be some disappointment at the
failure to add to the treasury receipts the
vast sums which it was unreasonably
tAought could be squeezed out of the men
whose active brains and physical skill en-
able them to earn more than four thousand
dollars a y>ar, hut there are in the United
States great many people who could, II
they were so inclined, say Il told you So"

color-blindness? A rooster growing before

IL good ground for complaint by citizen
who thinks he has an inalienable right to

may have that offending rooster arrested

prisonment. He may even have it SEN
fenced to suffer the extreme penalty of the
law. To crow before hours is indeed an
awful offense. But it may yet be demon

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 fiji the air with foul
stenches, and be less of a nuisance than

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 value aggre-
eating over thirteen millions of dollars.
being an average of "A 6-10 cents per
bushel. There were, Of course, exports of
potatoes in this same period, but the i'm
ports exceeded the exports by more than
twenty-four millions of bushels, with
value of nearly ten million dollars. 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 ROW being mainly Sc
cured by America from other lands; Sec
ond. that these statistics furnish 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. 1t Is very much like carrying
Goals to Newcastle for Great Britain to
help to supply America with this staple
tuber. which found its way from these
shores into Ireland and there secured it's
name of the Irish potato" The great
demand for this importation must natur-
ally come from the cities rather than the
country, for the latter parts may be con-
idently expected to be self-sustaining In
this particular. 1t must be the urban pop
ulation that causes this demand for foreign
potatoes, and 1t has already been demon
strated that at least part of the citizens
of large communities can raise enough Of
these roots to supply their table and have
perhaps a surplus for sale. A, all events,
a general application of the Detroit plan,
the success of which is fairly wen demon
strated. could not fail to diminish the enor-
nous bulk of this importation and so re-
duce the output of gold in payment which,
as is seen by the figures, aggregates about
a million dollars a year. This is. however,
purely incidental to the question OF greater
local interest of how to supply the poor
with food Few suggestions have been
made of late years i'll the line of solving
the problem of merchandising 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.
