THE WASHINGTON LETTER.
Whilo brief news items referring
to the war college in Wnsliinton are
frequently published in tlie news
paper?., comparatively few people
understand just what tho college is
or will be and, with n view tn
furnishing yonr renders nn aeeunite
description of the proposed institu
tion, your correspondent culled on
several members of the "wnr college
honrd" nnd from them obtained the
following Information :
Briefly stilted, tho projected col
lo.owill have three principal fnne.
tioiis, first, tho classification and de
velopment of d:ita iclative to the
fortifications, military armament,
etc., of foreign nations nnd the'r
study from a strategic standpoint
second, tho higher education of
American military officers, which
will include the study nnd working
out of problem of i flense nnd de
sense both at home nnd abroad, this
v rk being closely related to that
under the first head, nnd, third, the
supervision nnd coordination of tbe
educational work now being done In
tho "post" and "special service"
schools.
For ninny yenrs the war depart
ment has maintained schools nt vnr
ions army posts where the higher
branches of military education have
been taught to officers, both the
graduates of West Point and np
pointees from the volunteer service
nnd civil life. Tho institutions
known as "special service schools"
ineludo tho torpedo school nt Wil
lett's Point, N. Y-, tho artillery
school at Fort Monroe, Va., the cav
alry nnd light artillery school at
Fort, Riley, Kan., the engineer school
at Washington, D. C, and the staff
ai.d general service school nt Fort
Leavenworth, Kan. Their mimes
indicate the character of the instruc
tion given at each. Heretofore these
schools bnvo been under the super
vision of the lieutenant general and
the adjutant general, but it is be
lieved that their direction can be
much moreadvantageously perform
ed by the now college, which will
itself be an educational institution
nnd whoso faculty and managers
will include those officers who are
especially fitted for the perfor nanco
of such duties.
The war college is not new in in
ception but only an appropriation of
$1,260,000 made by the fifty-seventh
congress, of which amount $900,000
fs now available, made possible its
immediate organization. The
war college board, to which the wol
fure of the college ia intrusted, was
appointed by President Roosevelt,
and is composed of General Young,
president, Generals Carter and Bliss
and Majors Groene and Bench.
At present tho headquarters of
the college are in a private residence
adjoining the "temporary White
House" but surveys have already
been made and plans are being pro
pared for extensive buildings to" be
located on the grounds of what nro
known as "the barracks" in this
city, nnd overlooking the Potomnc
and Anaoostia rivers. The present
plans, which are subject to some re
vision, include a single large build
ing for the accommodation of t.ne
college proper, flunked by residences
for the officers and a club bouse.
The buildings now at the barracks
will be replaced with one or more
structures in harmony with the
proposed improvements. A hand
some building for the engineers'
school will occupy a portion id the
site and nn immense parade ground
ami barracks for the men will com
plete what promises to be the finest
and most extensive military estab
lishment in the United States.
In this connection, it is worthy of
remark that in the policy of the
present, adiiiinist ration, there is evi
dent a purpose to develop the mili
tary organization of the United
Slates along lines consonant with
the growing importance of the
country nr.d to take timn by the
forelock and strengthen the offen
sive and defensive resources of the
luitior in proportion to the increased
responsibilities eu'uiied by expim
biou. Sooner or la'er the army re
organization law, drafted by Score
tary Root, and the military reor
ganization law, dialled by Ueiiortil
luck, ur similar measures, will be
enacted nnd x toiiievvhat heterogen
eous military establisimient will b
rounded into a homogeneous an
Jjei fed v, hole.
News has reached Washington to
the i ii'i i-t that the i-.,.r lias request
ed a ci -life! i'Ikv of European powers
'.Mill a view to il-li'i umr.iig on cm
( 1 a H.uo, litu.tio tuj ruwer of
the trusts, and it is suggested that
the recent acquirement by Mr. J
Pierpont Morgan of extensive inter
ests in the trans-Atlantic shipping
industry has done its share to pre
cipitate tho contemplated interna
tional movement. Action by Russia
and other European countries in
this direction might bavo little sig
nificance in thin country were it not
that It recalls tho prediction of
Lym-n J. Gage, ex secretary ot the
treasury, that the time was not far
distant when, by a combination of
interests, ,tho European nations
would inaugurate a tariff wnr
against the Ui iteil Stales. Under
the policy of protection, the United
States has attained a point, where it
produces all the necessities of life
and could live quite independently
of the other countries of the world,
so far ns imports are concerned, but
so rnpid has been tho progress made
that foreign markets are essential to
the welfare of American manufac
turers nnd producers and it is tn
this light that the officials regard
the proposed movement with slight
apprehension. In voicing his opin
ion, Mr. Gage stated bis beliof that
the first move in this direction
would bo taken by Great Britain
which would place a heavy tariff on
American wheat. Tho fear of tariff
liscriininaiion by Europe has been
one of the leading factors in tho ag
itation for the negotiation of reoip
rooity treaties with Franco, Russia,
Austria, and other countries of Eu
rope nnd it is possiblo that this
move on tie part of tho czir may
load to more serious consideration
of the reciprocal treaties which now
rest in the sonnto committee on for
eign relations, the anxiety ex
pressed at the state and treasury de
partments today recalls a remark
made to your correspondent early
this year. He said, apropos of the
K.nsor. treaties: "I regard it ns es
sential to the welfare of the foreign
trade of the United States that these
or similar treaties be ratified by the
senate."
The negotiations between tho wnr
department nnd the Vatican have
practically suspended to be resumed
again in Manila by tho governor of
the Philippines and a papal delegate.
In so far as known the United States
has accomplished nil that was
sought in those matters which have
been decided, and there is reason to
believe that tho eventual outcome
of the negotiations will prove mu
tually satisfactory to the parties
concerned.
Secretary Hay and Honor Concha
have had their final meeting in re
gard to the treaty with Colombia
and nothing further can be accom
plished uiitil Colombia shall have
approved the steps already taken.
Handled a Snake.
Because Michael Labes of Jersey
city has more recklessness than sense
he enjoyed a trip to the Port Jervis
hospital this week to be treated
for a rattle snake bite. Several men
up nt Greeley Sunday were enjoying
themselves tantalizing a rattler w hich
they had in a barrel when Lobes to
show his courage seized the snake
with his hand to lift it out. The
snake quite properly resented this
familiarity and evidently thought It
was in better society when alone so
it took hold of Lobes finger who
dropped it forthwith and sought
antidotes for his bite. If he lives it
is possible this experience may also)
cure him oi a little foollmrdiness.

The Plain Truth.
The conception of modern Journal
ism conveyed in the recent address
by Mr. H. F. Gunnison of the Brook
lyn Eagle before the Sphinx- club of
Now York was as elevated and noble
as it was just and true. His especial
topie was the value of quality in
newspaper circulation, bis contention
being that high quality based on
honesty, Intelligence, dignity and
legitimate enterprise, makes a paper
far more valuable to both its readers
and advertisers than a circulation
swollen by fake advertisements, lur
id type, crooked morals and cheap
sensationalism. He said the quality
of a - paper end the character and
standing of the people who read It
are factors of far more importance
than the question of how many
papers are printed. It Is not so much
the number of papers that go out of
the press room which should be care
fully examined, as the fact where
those papers go and who are the peo
ple who read them. Are they read
in the homes by eyary member of
the family? Are they read for in
formation and instruction to become
the source of our knowledge of con
temporaneous life, or are they read
as one would a handbill to be in
stantly thrown away and forgotten?
These are pertinent questions for tho
advertiser and properly solved will
demonstrate that advertising does
p-iy.

The Park Case.
Subject to appeal to tho supreme
court tho recent decision of tho su
perior court in the case of Common
wealth vs. Hazen, v hich really in
volved the constitutionality of tho
net Incorporating the Blooming
Grove park association, settles the
rights of tlint corporation to protect
its lands from those who would
trespass on thoin nt will for the pur
pose of hunting or fishing.
The Pit ess has always contended
that owners of lards In this county
should have equal protection with
the park. There seems no reason
why a man owning unimproved
lands should not have tho right to
say who might and who might not
hunt or flsh over It. As the law
now stands such owner Is practical
ly helpless to protect himself. He
must stand and look on whilo those
who choose, probably not owning a
foot of lnnd in the state or paying
nny taxes, renin over his property
nnd shoot the game or take the fish
thereon. The opponents of this idea
claim tlint to exclude them Is to de
prive them of their natural rights,
which are, to shoot nnd fish wher
ever thoy please. That is, tlint
while a mnn pays tuxes on land,
and has for yenrs, yet if ho wants to
exerciso any other control over it,
ns saying who may or may not
share its benefits, he heoomes a sel
fish monopolist nnd infringes the
rights of those who without leave
or license wish to occupy it in com
mon with bitn. The argument is
used thnt game and fish nre not sub
ject to property rights, nre fern
naturae, mid belong to whoever can
get them, regardless of the fact that
in order to do so the hunter or fish
erman becomes a trespasser.
Had farmers and land owners the
right to prevent trespassing by
stringent laws their lands might be
leased to those who nre willing to
pay for the privilege of shooting or
fishing over thom and they would
thereby dorive substantial benefit
and be aided in paying their tnxes.
Our co uty is naturally tidnpted
to game The Blooming Grove park
association breeds it largely nnd pro
tects it, but it cannot prevent its
game and flsh from escape and the
moment it cro ses its lines it be
comes common property. Now if
the adjoining owners could protect
their lands and designate who, if
any one, should enter on them they
would be largely benefited by the
efforts of the park poople to propa
gate game nnd fish. Other associa
tions in the county would become
interested in protecting aud breed
ing game and flsh andV)on our
county would become in fact nnd
not in name meroly a paradise for
sportsmen.
These men spend their money
fretly. They pay woll for their
privileges and pay cheerfully if
they can have the sport. Should
they not be encouraged to come
here? Is not their prosence
with their well filled
pockotbooks of far more vnlue to our
people than the theory of an inher
ent right to trespass? The Bloom
ing Grove park acsociation has its
charter rights established, call it an
absolute monarchy or whatever you
ploase j its lands are proteoted, its
members may enjoy them exclusive
ly. Now extend the same privilege
to the citizens of the county and
others Owning lands. Let them
have just as exclusive control of
what they own. Our ruemher of
the legislature can engage in no
more worthy occupation in the next
session than in an endeavor to give
his constituents the same rights to
control their property as are enjoy
ed by outsiders.
Cruelty to Animals.
The Branch ville stage driver was
compelled to change one of his horses

this matter aud among other provi
sions it Is nn offense to wantonly or
cruelly ill treat, overload, beat or
otherwise abuse any animal, or to
torture or mniin any horse. The fine
may be iiOO and imprisonment for a
year.

Truth-Telling Papnrs.
Archbishop Ireland, in nn address
before' the National Educational As
sociation, made a strong plea for
li utli-ti !!ing in the newspapers. He
charged the "yellow sheets" with be
ing largely responsible for tho out
break of hostilities with Spain, and
denounced their "unguarded and
reckless" stories from the Philippines
"purporting to tell of dreadful deeds
of cruelty and Injustice for which, on
examination, no foundation In fact Is
found.' lie characterized the news
paper as the greatest educator of the
day, and pleaded for truth in its
publication.
Had Mr. Ireland attempted to
enumerate the instances of wilful
lying and thecrcation of scandals and
outrageous stories out of nothing, his
task would have been an impossible
one. Such yellow papers as the New
York Journal, the New York World
and tho Chicago American, have all
too large a reading circle for the
good of tho country. The number of
such papers, while their influence is
considerable, is, however, small prob
ably bearing about the ratio that the
common slanderer and liar bears to
the balance of humnnity. The ma
Jority of newspapers, newspaper
managers, and newspaper men can
be justly described, as Mr. Ireland
says, as "honest and honorable, one
of the nation's most precious inherit
ances," as against the few who
"place notoriety and pelf above truth
and virtue."
Standing Prosperity.
A wise wag once said in response
to tho toast :
"Here's to yonr prosperity. May
you stand it like a mnn."
"That is n bettor sentiment than
yon think it is," said he.
"It takes a clover man to stand
prosperity. Any fool can stand
adversity, he has to."
