Vn til a year ago we are, Infoimed it had no franchise at all. but simply used the streets on tolerance. Then a franchise was sought and obtained f 10m coun cils, but no such franchise as the one pass-ed Thursday night. Why this dls eilmluatlon9 The granting to the new company of a franchise on the same terms as are enjojed by the old company would mean a saving to the telephone useis of Pcranton in ihe years of not less thin $200 000, in addition to the bet tered seivlco -which would lesult from competition Other forirs of business enterprise have to undeigo competi tion. Why should select council strlvo to preserve the monopoly now enjoved bv the local branch of the American Hell Telephone company, at tho co&t of the liundicds of business and pio felonal men who use 'phones?

Our War Correspondents. The readeis of The Tribune who drink in the war news of the preceding day with tholr matutinal coffee little teal ize the onoimous expense inclined, the difficulties surmountcd.tho dangeis 1 tin, and tho ilsks to life courted in the suc cessful collection and transmission of the latest and most reliable opeiatlons of our army, tho movements of our flc-et, the- details of a bombardment ot the thrilling story of the crowning achievement of a crcat battle fought and won. Wo read the icsult In the printed rage; it appeals to our sjmpa thy or jwtilotism, it gives in leallstlc and graphic outline tho heterogeneous minutiae of tho plans of action of the belligerents, and wo ttccept the panor amic picture wlhout inqulilng by whom the kaleldescopio details were brought together from tho lomotest ends of tho earth and placed before our minds and imagination in u coneiete whole. Wo do not hear the tear of the cannon or seo the carnngo that accompanies It; we cannot comprehend the ferocity, patslon, and impulse that ore Involved in tho heat and action of a great bat tle, but all Its details aie laid befoie us individually, not fiom tho standpoint of a single spectnior, but derived from the diversified impressions of a number ol trained and nccurate observers amd the engagement Itself. It is this featuru of war correspondence in tho newspapora that makes Its accuracy unimpeachable and Its record of high est historical Importance. Whatever may bo the paitlcular bias of tho war coriospniulont or however he might personally wish to exnggeuite tho of fcjats of a battle on the enemy, his in- Bfritctions arc unSevlatlngly explicit and must be obeyed Ills duty Is to iciioit the truth and nothing but the EM? Sm ttuth as he sees and realizes It, dispas sionately and candidly. Tin- news of the battle of Waterloo took seven days In reaching London. It was then legarded ns a phenomenal ly cxpcdltlou'i dispatch. Tho first ru mor of the battle of the Nile readied England almost seven weeks after tho battlci was fought. It was almoit three o"Ks nftei the event took placo befoie Englishmen learned of tho death of Nelson What mar-voHou' changes hive taken place In the tiansmlsslon of news since those dnjs! The trans lllon dIJ not come ot once. It came nbout gradually and Imperceptibly al most. The telegraph was an establish ed Institution for some soars befoie It became the hand maiden of modem Journalism. It Is not fifty ears a-go slnco the dispatch boats of the New York Herald lay In wait outside Sandy Hook to meet incoming European steamers The laying of the first At lantic cable revolutionized the modern newspaper. It was not that newspaper piopilet us were si jw to utilize tho Im mense potentiality that lay In tho scientific results ot the telegraphic in vention: but they were then beyond the reach of their exchequers!. With the tevolutlon that set In in printing rnn chlneiv und the cheapening ot paper, th" submarine cable and the overland telegraph become the bheet anchors o the d ilh newrpapei. With this tiemendous evolution In thi sphere of Journalism, the war corre spondent tool: his place. Caesir might leritlnritily be called a war cot re spondent even In this modern sen" of the wmd, so might Xnnephon They vi ere not journalists, however, but gen erals. Th war correspondent In his spheic and character Ilrst ap pealed dining the Crlmein war. The first aim most renowned of modern war correspondents, Hir William Ilusscll, Is still living This gentleman went tin ough the Crimean war, the Indian Mutiny and our own si eat war of se cession In the interest of the London Times. Then aioso simultaneously 01 In rapid sequence as the occasion called them foi th, mcli men as Archibald ruibes, Kdnuind O'Donovan Skinner, and MacGaghan. who having spent his vouth on an Ohio farm, first drew the attention of Hut ope and cpnciallv of Mr Cladstone, to the Bulgailan massa cies. and Involved Kussla and Turkey In a war. He died of fever In Adnno ple Just before the close of the war which he was Instrumental In having waged, not et thirty-five vears of age War correspondents are not regarded ery highly by the military authori ties Thev would willingly do without them, and t lerate them simply be cause It is not poslbl" to cclude them. Ocnetal I.oid Wolslcy, commander in chief of tho Hrltish army, says in his oldieis" Pocketbook" thy are non belllgeients who cat the food of the army and give lufoi -nation to the encniv. At any late, they know how to die and no wai could well be sustained for a week without the relief they bring to the curiosity and anxiety of the peo ple. Official dispatches are all very well: but the wai correspondent's war news is still better. In fact, it is indis pensable. If Kann3 does not have a cyclone, 01 grasshopper fog, or something of the sort soon it will lose its identity. as the home of calamity. An Irish Nationalist View. The "Irish Nationalist organization of li eland and Critatn" has addiessed to its fellow countrjmen and comrades, the Irish Nationalists ot America, a scotching piotcst against an Anglo American alliance, in the course of which It sajs: ' It is announced that today the Bilt Ish Hag waves above eveiy Amciican consulate in Cuba, hoisted by Amelcan hinds Is this po:sible? Is tills the le word which a Hrltlsh faction in tho background and behind the scenes of American prlitlcs gives to tho millions of Iiish-Amei leans who guarded with thelt heaits" blood the stany standard ot the Union when lngllsh intrigue sought to plant secession on the tulns ot the Republic? Arise in the dignity of vour insulted citizenship, and insist upon the lepudlatior. of the English al liance and on the repudiation of Brit ish protection! It is contrary to the spit It of the Monroe doetilne, as well as to every pilnclple of manly nation hood, that the United States should commit the protection of their interests oven foi a single hour, even in a single island, to a Euiopcan monaichy, and least of all to such a monarchy as Eng land's. Itcmcmbei, too, that when all the nations ot Europe have joined against the tapacity and gleed of Brit ish policv. It can only Injure the United States ihioughout the world it the Biit Ish Hag is allowed to take the place of the htois and Stripes upon a single American consulate. Are thue not plenty of American states, any one of which would be proud to perform con sular otltles lor United States citizens? Why go to Europe, and why go to Eng land for a protecting flag? In the name of Amciican ficedom, in tho name of Ireland. England's victim, In tho name of tho memory of ninety-eight, tear down that Insulting and unnatural connection'" One very good reason for putting American Interests under British con sular protection where It lias become necessary to withdraw our own consu lar officials is that adequate care will thU3 bo taken of them. Even crazy Spar lards evince it wholesome feai of the consequences v. lilch would follow any meddling with British preroga tlv es. If the Monroe doctrine foi bids Amer ican acceptance of British courtesy then it must alo draw the line at any attempt by the 'Irish Nationalist or ganization of Ireland and Britain" to instruct the American government and people The Monroe doctrine would be a poor rule if it couldn't be ued both way. But of course our Iilsh frlend3 aemss the sea ate not serious and don't mean to bo takn seriously, . - The State Medical society has made tho discovery that tho study of physi ology In the publlo schools as It Is pursued lit present is pioductlvo of moie hunn than good. Examination has shown that many of the text books UHod are misleading, nnrl thnt Hm in structors are Incompetent. This dis. J covery seems to have been made rather late In the day, as much mischief has probably been done If such Is tho case. It Is understood that the State Medi cal society will take steps to correct the evil at once, which action will ho cntliely within Its sphere. The study of phjslology properly conducted Is one of the most beneficial ever Intro duced In the school room; but directed by Incompetent persons and guided by misleading text books It can become the most dangerous. Let Sampson Cut Loose. Whatever may be the backwardness In preparation for actual fighting of our land forces, tho American navy is as ready for war at thle time as it Is likely to be during the existing cam paign. Dewey at Manila showed Its quality In an achievement that seems to have embarrassed the authorities at Washington almost as much as It did the authorities at Madrid, since they have been unable to follow it up with nnv thing llko a corresponding prompt ness In the despatch o re-lnforce-ments. What Dewey did 9,000 miles away the public expects Sampson to do with an enemy of Infcilor strength which has the hardihood to venture within a few bundled miles of our own shore. This does not appear to us to be an unreasonable expectation. Sampson has four or five shlpci to Cervcra's one. He has the benefit of cable Intelligence from neaily every Mtiatcglc point In the western Atlantic and Caribbean sea. He has an abundance of fast scout boats, all the coal he needs and a lighting strength In his high power guns which would annihilate a much heavier force than that which now con fronts him In the harbor at Santiago de Cuba. He- has every incentive to pursue the enemy until a fight is forced and he should be permitted to do thle at the eat Host possible moment, with out hampering restrictions from the so called strategy board at Washington. It Is not strategy but lighting which the situation calls for. Otherwise much of tho good which Dewey did at Man ila will bo neutralized by frultlesa man oeuvring in the waters about Cuba. New Jersev faimers have decided to protect snakes on their property In future, as tho reptiles are said to be useful In destrojlng worms and in sects that prey upon vines. If the average cltl7!ii down there could be taught to regard the serpents with in difference one-half of the terrors of "Jercey lightning" would be done away with. (Prince Bismarck has given evidence of the effect of the rainy weather upon his system by emitting another growl at the United States It Is probable that the prince's unkind remarks are clue to neuralgia rather than to any real feeling of hostility. The officers In command of the In diana troops have Issued orders that the faces of men in their regiments who wear chin whiskers shall be shaved. The Indiana troops evidently do not intend to be mistaken for "rcu bens" Spain's war news seems always to be seasoned to suit the Spanish taste. The Alabama ought to be completed in time to shew what she can do. Oar Unpr?paredness for Effective War Vrom the Philadelphia.

Congress has httadllv ufused to ir.creaso the army or to appropriate sufficient money for co-ist defense or nn ample supply of modern nr tillery. It his pursued a foolishly nig gardly policv lii ics-.rd to evcrv detail of our rallitarj equipment, and while do ing a llttlo better In regard to the navy has haggled nbout the price of aimor for battleships, and when war became immi nent the ships ready for service were short of aimirrent and other necessary supplies lor a campaign at sea 0 When war was declared and a call for troops inado there was no hesitation about tho response o far as men were concerred Tho call was promptly filled, and could have been ffilcd threo times over if reecssiry But men aro not sol diers urttll they are drilled, armed, uni fuimed and provided with camp equlp a;o and a commissary department. An army of men could be, and were enlisted, almost In a day, but uniforms, touts ritlcs, cartridge boxes, cartridges, blank ets, and rations, horses for cavalry and artllleiv und the thousand 0110 other things necessary for tho equipment of an aimy cannot be Impiovlsed 111 a day, especially v hen no provision has been made In advance. fl it Is useless, therefore, for consn-ss, the uewsiapers or anj ono else to criti cise the administration for not being ublo to occunv I'uba at once and Manila within a week. As u matter of fact, the government ot Washington Is doing woa derfully well in view of the state of un prepaiedness tor war in which, thanks to tho congrebs of the present and the past, wo fuund oai&elves upon tho break ing out of hostilities. Wo have men, and money can bo furr.it hed If congress will permit, but rltles, cannon, uniforms, tents and other military furnishings must he mado und distributed to the men before thev can become soldiers or yo on a cimpnlgn, and this precludes laMnsr tha field in haste. 0 Tho lesson is so obvious that even a foolish Jingo congressman ought to be able to learn it, and that Is that a nation of 70,000.000 of people with a double line of seacoast to defend and commercial Interests to guard In every part of tho world, should have un active mllltaty and naval forco In sumo reasonable propor tion to tho Importance of the Interests to be protected und a sufficient supply of military and naval stores to equip a force threo or four times as great If such a forco should be suddenlj required, as It Is at present Wo come very near be Ing in the position of tho mm In the par able who began to build without counting the cost, und tho result Is likely to bo an unnecessary proloncatlon of a vvrr that should have been short, shaip and dccls ive. OUR ASIATIC BERMUDAS. Now Yoik Mall and Express. What would Eiiglund take for her Ber mudas? She has been their owner tor 300 cars. Though numerous, they con tuln only nineteen solid square miles. Bermuda's commercial "relations are al most altogether with this country; her exports to us are forty times as great us to Great Britain, and her Imports twlco as great. Financially she Is not worth to England one one-hundredth pait of 1 the money expended upon her, her ex ports bclriff In ltt7 a trifle over JOOO.OOJ, and her Imports nbout the same. But l'ugland would probably not sell Ber muda for $100,000,000. o A glance at tho map, or better yet, a globe, explains These Islnnds aro en tirely by then selves In tho mldt ot the Atlantic.
