T'nclfr the franchise oidlnance as It

iruans that every 'phone connection
made within that nrtu must be made
bv slnglo-wlro laterals blanching off
fioni the underground conduit, a cir
cumstance which would effectually pie
vent the installation of am toh phone
si stem operated on the basis of mod
erate, charge.
If a new company offering to fell to
the public n. service of admitted neces
sity at a pi Ice DO per cent, less than
that now charged Is to be held down
to such restilctlons, why should not
the same conditions be imposed upon
the old telephone company, nlso? 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? What
is tho secret behind this peculiar atti
tude? It begins to look as though the gov
ernment will bo obliged to let Silves

to have any more excitement.
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

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. Times
1TH u tontgn war on its hands
the country is being furnished
with nn object lesson on tho
folly ot maintaining the in'lt,--nlilcant
standing army of but
liOiX) men. trusting to luck to furnish an
ellirient fighting foice If wo get in a sclap
with a foreig 1 government. 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

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

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

What would Eiiglund take for her Ber

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

the money expended upon her, her ex

Night gloom has settled low.
They sudden flash forth us a btar,
The lights of old Morro.
But never do they kindly gleam
To guide our precious fleet,
But only far would send a stream
Of golden light to greet
The shadowy ships that wearily
Do waver thro' tho night,
To creep to haven sullenlj
Once all their own bv light.
Wo may not follow wheio they gleam
The false fair lights aglow ,
'Tis not for us they sudden stream
O doomed lights that briefly beam
Afar from old Morro!
