clnration OF Independence is sound. we

II Mr.. Bryan refers to the transaction
by which the United States acquired
from Spain the sovereignty Of the Phil
IppIne Islands, paying s2O,OOO,OoO to
Spain under the terms OF the treaty, he
mlsrepresents that transaction.

the Antl-Imperlallst party ought to be
ashamed to assert that the payment OF
s2O,OOOOOO on account OF improvements
by Spain in the Philippines and the
bonded Indebtedness incurred therefor,

FOR ANXIOUS MAIDENs.
Why the Year 1900 VIII not be a
Leap Year.

Why the Year 1000 VIII not be
Leap Year.
In answer to query about leap year
the New York Sun answers as follows:
The year 1896 was a leap year, and the
next one will be 1904. eight years later.
This is on account of the ingenius de-
vice for maintaining, as nearly as can
be, concordance between the civil or
Gregorian calendar and the solar or as
Economical calendar. Everybody knows
that the time required for the earth to
make revolution around the sun is
the true solar year. 1t is easy to see
why men, in their ordinary affairs, do
not give the year its exact solar time
value, but employ the civil calendar
they have devised instead of the solar
calendar. The length of the solar year,
expressed precisely, is 3s5.242216 days,
or little less than 1854 days. 1t is
obvious that in the business affairs of
life 1t would be very announcement to use
a time division called year contain-
ing SO many days and a fraction Of a
day. For ordinary purposes the year
must be counted as so many days. The
ordinary year Is, therefore, counted as
s65 days, which is nearly fourth of a
day shorter than the true year.
OF course this time difference between
the solar and the civil year must be
accounted for. sooner or later and,
when 1t is convenient 80 to do, the true
and the artificial year must be brought
into concordance as nearly as possible.
The common civil year is too short by
.2422i6 Of a day. In four years this
amounts to .96SS64 of day, and so both
in the Julian and Gregorian calendars
the last of this period of four years is
made leap year, or in other words a
day is added to 1t, making 1856 days In
that year. But not quite day was re-
quired to bring the civil and solar year
into concordance. The mean civil year,
thus fixed. is little too long, and In
the course of a period OF 400 years the
civil calendar thus gains 3.l136 days. So
another balance is struck between the
true and artificial calendars by the sup
preston Of the intercalary days in the
years 1900. 1900 and 1900, which other
wise would be leap years. The sup
preston Of leap year in 1900 leaves
gap between the two calendars since
the adoption of the Gregorian calendar
of only about one-ninth of day.which
is the balance on account with which
to begin the next accumulation of DIFF
ferences for future adjustment. But
the addition of the intercalary day
every four years and the suppression
OF that day in the last year OF every
three out of four centuries balances the
years so far that the error amounts to
only one day in 1895 years.
The year 1000 will end the cycle of
four centuries and will be leap year.
Then opens the next cycle. and in the
years 2iOO, 1900 and 300 the intercalary
days win be suppressed, while the year
24OO will be a leap year. 1t should be
mentioned that 1900 will be leap year,
after all, in those nations of eastern
Europe and Asia which still use the
Julian calendar.

The Washington Star notes that the
automobile has come into use in the
capital city for practical business pur-
poses, local express agencies having
begun the delivery OF packages by
means Of the horseIess vehicles, thus
opening up an era of mechanical trans
portation which will doubtless rapidly
develop. When the national capital
city starts this active movement In the
way of development 1t behOoves other
American cities to fall into line and the
progress will be general.
One Of the chief causes of delay in
the general adoption of the automobile
for delivery. purposes, as well as for
private use, has been the high prices in
this country; 1t has been difficult for
merchants to secure the best machines
for reasonable terms. This is because
the manufacture of the vehicles has, up
TO the present time. been limited. A
change is coming about, however, and
the passing away of the horse, while 1t
win be gradual, will shortly begin on
a progressive scale. Competition among
many factories that are being con-
structed and are already in operation
Will largely reduce prices and promote
the growth Of the use OF the machines.
The star points out some OF the ad-
vantages that must come with the au-
tomobilc in general use by the mer-
chants, as well as by private indivld-
uals, and some of the things that must
be overcome. Some Of them were ap-
pointed out by the Intelligencer n few
weeks since. Among other suggestions.
our Washington contemporary makes
are the following. which win apply to
other cities as well as to that city:

A case Of very contemplate, not to
say cowardly, Journalism was exhibit
ed in an editorial in yesterdays Even
ing News, when. without cause or just-
acatIon, 1t INDUCED in some comments
ON Hon. Charles Burdett Hart, United
States minister to Colombia, who. in
the course of his official duties notified
the state department that a Colombian
court had sentenced an American ciu-
zen to a penitentIary over his official
protest. That item in the Washington
dispatches furnished a text for a
lengthy, sneering. dlscourteous allusion
to Mr.. Hart, rejecting upon his eff
cheney, in his capacity as minister and
inumatlng that the President sent him
to Colombia because of his lack Of abili-
" to go elsewhere. Other personal re-
ferences are made that are unworthy Of
a newspaper aspiring to respectable
standard.
Minister Hart is 1000 miles from
home. performing his duties to the sat
isfaction of the government. Like
other diplomatic communications to the
country, his correspondence with the
state department is not for the benefit
Of the Evening News, unless it is of
general public interest. He is not in a
situation to defend himself from viii
famous personal attacks from a home
paper by reason of long distance and
the digniied position he occupies, and
NO newspaper, with proper conception
OF what constitutes decency. would en-
gage in such an assault.
Mr.. Hart has excellent standing in the
list Of our foreign representatives., and
needs no defense from the reflections
cast by solitary petty evening sheet,
which has not particle Of ground for
It. The President recognized the SER
vices Of Mr.. Hart to the Republican
party, and has had no reason to regret

source. no reflections upon his career

The News need not be apprehenslve Of
what may happen when Mr.. Hart re-
turns home. He will not consult the
News as to his programme.

Why Mr.. Root uas selected,

We respectfully refer our esteemed
neighbor to the following "Pecksnifian"
comment Ito be Registeresque) from the
New York Times, which is not an ad-
ministratlon paper, because it isn't an
enthusiastic endorser Of the Presidents
war policy. and is free trade to the core:
The Times remarks, concerning the ap-
pointment Of Mr.. Root to succeed Sec
rotary of War Alger:
Not only is the appointment free from
any shade OF suspicion that II was made
for political reasons, but II Is also abso-
lutely free from reproach that attaches
10 ONCE hunting and the use OF "inilu-
ence." The office clearly sought the man
In the case, for the man must take II at
serious sacrifice and only because the Ap-
pointment came to him as call TO duty
President Mckinley saw in Mr.. Root u
man about whose qualifications he need
make no inquiry, so clear ana SHINING OF
the light OF the reputation ne mas made
by quarter OF a century OF nrduous anu
siIccesSful labor, much Of II OF a semi
public nature. In city where men OF light
and leading come TO be known TO the whole
country.
The Times further says that PresI-
dent Mckinley has performed an act
OF the highest anu llluhA ohiAlAdl bNAeANSt
for 1t is one which confirms the conf
dence Of the people in his wisdom and
right intentions, and the confidence of
the people is, of course, the beginning
and the end Of success in politics"
The Times doesn't speak of "Mr.
Plat and Wall street" nor is 1t bend
ing Its crlnging knee to H'Emperor
william l." The Times is opposed to
Mr. Plat; 1t has been critic of i'm
perialIsm." and especially antagonistic
to Secretary Alger. However we may
disagree with the Times on these points,
It stands high for its dignity, It's politL-
cal honesty and independence. Only
recently the Times frankly admitted
that 1t had done an injustice In publish
Ing letters from some complaining SOL
dlers who had returned from Manila,
on proof that they had misrepresented
the situation and had made mls-state-
ments. 1t is pity that there are not
more honest newspaper critics of this
type; there would be less consolation
for the Filipino sympathizers in perus-
ing them.
