Cost of the War Service.
The cost of 'he war with Spain fell al
most a. heavily on the n. wspapens as it
did on the government. Tin return has,
of course. been small. Increased circula
tion ha not tmant more advertising, out
on the contrary l< »*.
This was largely due of course to the
fear that the business world would be de
moraliz'd uy war, and then too the adver
tises all. g»d that th. y wen being forced
lo pay mor.- than their share. There are
some thing i th.- advertisers should rem. Bri
ber, and it may be of value to . all his at
tention to th. m If he needs newspaper
publicity, as he certainly does, then be
should r.al.x that the cost of getting out
the paper has been and ontinues to be
enoi iiious.
It IS interesting to note the cost of cable
dispat, hes Frtan St Thomas, via Hayti,
the rale is two dollars and forty-six cents
a word, from Kingston, via Hayti-.Martin-
Jque Barbados, two dollars and four Cents;
Hom Santiago de Cuba, bhirty-six cents;
from Havana, fifty-three cents, from t'ape
■Haytlen, one dollar and forty-eight cents;
from Porto Hi. o, eighty-five cents; and
from Mole St. Nicholas. lifty-bwo and a
half cents.
This is the amount simply for caibles,
and it should be rem. m'bered that there
are tiie dispatch boats with their crews
and high-.priced reporters. Then there are
ail sorts of additional expenses until the
cost of the war services has amounted to
amazing figures.
The public, however, had to have the
news It was the business of the the press
to furnish stories of the struggle and it has
done so without regard to expense. Some
thinking advertisers have seen their
chance in the increased circulations. Many
have been unfortunate in not realizing the
situation.
With three square meals a day and no
work .the prisoners at Portsmouth are not
shouting to be returned to Spain.
A Donkey’s Error.
One of the egregious donkeys, stamped
as the product of Now York Journalism,
writes a story for his paper on the visit
of the Georgia Weekly Press Association
in which he quotes the man in the duster
as follows:
“We all arh thuh advance gyahd of thuh
Gawjah Weekly Press Association, suh, an’
thy’s about arh hundred an’ a half meh
of us rainin' in on thuh Smith. Ah reckon
you all have got rooms saved up foh ouah
party?”
The “bright young man” who turned in
this idiotic effort at dialect writing is a
fair sample of the New York young jour
nalist. He 'knows it all. He would not,
hesitate to wiite an interview in modern
Greek should the occasion call for it, and
Ida effort at Greek, would be about as near
the actual thing as his attempt at Georgia
dial. < t.
N< w York has always had the reputation
of turning out more failures as newspaper
men than any big city in the world. The
reason is to be found in the fact that the
reporters are careless in their handling of
facts while at the same time their lament
able lack of education makes it necessary
■to make up for it by brazen impudence
and bluff.
It is a fact, however, that Georgia men
are gradually leavening the lump in the
New York offices ami in time perhaps the
New lotkers will learn sense and purer
English.
Keep out of the line of tire—Dewey to
Diederichs.
One Chicago Example.
No better illustration is afforded of the
value of advertising than the Chicago inci
dent. It demonstrates beyond cavil, the ab
solute necessity of the newspaper to the
advertiser. Among advertisers heretofore
the impression has been generally preva
lent that the papers were dependent on the
advertiser and the latter often took ad
vantage ot that fact to obtain concessions
that he might not otherwise have received.
A\ hile it is true tha papers could not ex
ist without advertising, yet it is equally
true that but few concerns can be made
prosperous without the aid of papers. The
clamoring among the retail merchants of
Chicago to obtain space in the publications
is the best evidence of the value of adver
tising. Recent dispatches show that bus
iness has been materially affected by the
enforc'd ibitnce of advertisements. The
loss of tradi makes it apparent that the
large bsiness interests of that city would
soon be in a moribund condition were it
not for newspaper publicity. Heretofore
the publisher has done most of the clamor
ing to get the advertiser in the paper, and
there seems a poetic justice in the lesson
which that individual is new learning, that
the paper is of more essential value to his
business prosperity than it has been cred
ited with.
Those Mauser rifles will come handy in
the Porto Rico campaign.
Reason for One Course.
A Spanish steamship company will take
General Torsi's army to Spain. The rea
sons for the return of these veteran Span
ish soldiers to Spain are:
1. They are needed there to prevent
civil commotion ans maintain social orler.
By their return the United States will
have earned the approval and gratitude of
Europe, to whom civil and social turbu
lence in Spain would have been a menace.
3. By assisting thus in the maintenace
of responsible government in Spain, the
United States strengthens the peace party
in Spain.
4. The example will incine homesick
Spanish soldiers atdddhdddldlldddddddddd
Spanish soldiers at Havana and Porto Rico
to prefer good food and a free ride home to
rice gruel and wet grave for a bed.
5. It was desirable to get Spanish votes
and Spanish rifles out of Cuba, so that the
Cuban republic may find a fair and free
.political field.
6. We don’t want the Spanish soldiers
in the United States for several obvious
reasons.
<. It is cheaper to send them home than
to guard, clothe, and feed them either in
Cuba or the United States.
The following facts should be noticed in
connection with this return of Spain’s sol
diers. *
1. Modern history nowhere records a
similar act on a similar scale or magni
tude.
2. It is rendered proper and wise bv our
possession of sea power. Had Spain com
mand of the sea against us, such an act
■would be egregious folly, and would not
have been thought of.
3. It is proof conclusive that the admin
istration does not meditate the invasion of
Spain. This is too plain to need elabora
tion. It should dispose of all stories that
Watson’s squadron is designed to operate
against Spain.
An Egregious Blunder.
The topic of peace engaging the atten
tion of thoughtful folk all over the coun
try-
The uppermost theme is that of the ex
pectable duration of the war. Now that
Santiago has fallen, will peace come soon?
The proper reply to this question is: At
present the nearness or the remoteness of
peace depends solely on Spain. Thus far,
in the absence of Euratpean interference,
they are hut two parties to the struggle.
The United Slates, the stronger of the two.
and thus far the remarkably successful
one. has fixed upon the price which Spain
must pay 'for .peace. Spain can have peace
whenever she shall be willing to pay the
price. As yet she is unwilling
If the United States should go forward
and take Cuba and Puerto Rico in the At
lantic and the Philippines in the Pacific,
and thereupon cease from further aggres
sive war upon Spain, Spain would be likely
to yield at length a reluctant assent to a
result already adjudicated in the court of
Mars.
In that case peace is not much farther
away than the time needed to subdue the
Spanish armies in the three islands and
to expel therefrom. The expectation is
that the United States will tie able to have
done this by next Christmas. In that ease
peace should follow not long thereafter.
But if, led by evil counsels, the United
States should carry rhe war across the At
lantic and attack the peninsula of Spain,
or even the Canaries or Balearics, the war,
barring European and American interfer
en e, would tie likely to outlast the cen
tury. In such a war the stars.-the winds,
the seasons, the elemental forces of na
ture, the tiharilnious sympathies of gener
ous mankind the deathless energies of out
raged patriotism, the heroic counsels of
d< iiperation, the mighty aim of God —all
would 'be on the side of Spain. The war
• ould last ft r y< ns; and. at its close,
■ I-iin. in ii. i fortr. s.-a d peninsula, would
i'. main unconquered and unconquerable.
Spain is prolonging the war In hopes
that the .United States will make the
blunder of sending a squadron across the
Atlantic to attack the Fi.ianish peninsula.
At present then the n.arncss or remote
ness of fierce dt pends upon Spain, and that
if ih< Ui.'ited States .-hall confine its offen
sive opera I ions to Cuba, Puerto Rico and
the Philippines, ipeace should speedily fol
low their conquest. If we shall make the
...hinder of attacking Spain at home, <r
even in h< r ocean dooryard, the new cen
tury must be expected to find the war still
in progress and peace farther away than
it se.-ms to be today.
Napoleon’s march to Moscow was not
more ill advised and harmful to France
than would have been Watson’s assault of
the Spanish .peninsula.
The “heavy cannonading” will now be
heard in the vicinity of San Juan.
Corbett's Big Job.
Jim Corbett has laid out several very
difficult pieces of pugilistic fancy work
to occupy his time between this and
Christmas. He is matched to fight “Kid”
McCoy, and he says that if he is success
ful he twill meet Jeffries and Sharkey as
soon as possible, and thereby pave the way
for another meeting with Fitzsimmons.
Corbett will certainly have his hands full
with these three, and if he should be for
tunate enough to best one and all of them
it is almost a sure bet that the Australian
and 'his wily manager, IMartin Julian, will
never be drawn into a match. Since Cor
bett closed with his old manager, Brady,
he has deteriorated as an orator, lost
much of his glory is an actor -and become
more of a fighter. His present course is
calculated to place him in much better
odor with the public.
The island of Porto H>eo has a population
of about 900,0b0. Os these 45U,dC0 are
white, 240,00 mulatos and 75,000 negroes.
Only ore in eight can read and write. The
areaof the island is only 3,670 square m'ies.
but it has been able to pay an annual tax
of $3,000,000 a year to Spain. Almost every
commodity the soil can produce is raised
in the island. The climate of Porto Rico
is very much superior to that cf Ct’ia
and is exceptionally free from humidity.
The distance of Porto Rico from Key West
is about 1,000 milts. The commerce of the
island under the repressive influence of
Spain is worth about $25,000,000 a year—a
sum that would be vastly increased under
the benign and expansive influence of tne
United States.
For ecntui iese the Caribbean sir has
been known among mariners as the Span
ish Main—yas fate making a p in when ?he
lot the Americans rcme.-ber the Maine i.i
the Spanisii Ma.n?
Considering the nice way we are treat
ing Cervera, it may be that Admiral Cama
ra will come over and bring his squadron
with him. He can rest assured of similar
treatment. ,
General Total is now threatened with a
courtmartial for the surrender of Santiago.
This would be in keeping with the record
that Spain has made all through the cen
turies.
If it were left to the man in front of the
gun to say who is entitled to the palm of
victory, he would declare in favor of tae
man behind the gun.
About the ony fighter in Cuba that can
do anything with the Americans is Jupiter
Pluvius. He “soaks it to them” good and
hard.”
The innpeent bystander racket does not
go any more with Dewey. Diederichs will
have to invent something new.
Ourstrateggy is to attack Havana byway
of Porto Rico. This information may prove
soothing to Blanco.
Spain should now be engaged in that
somewhat humiliating but sensible act of
“throwing up the sponge.”

intelligent people recognize that they are
threatened by this deadly disease, but take
no precautions against it.
Consumption approaches its victim step
by step. First there is a little “out of
sorts ” feeling, the digestion isn’t just
the appetite falls off. the liver is inactive,
the assimilation of the life-giving elements
of the food is imperfect, the blood gets im
pure and the body is improperly nourished.
These conditions get worse and worse. The
heart through the arterial system is pump
ing thin, pois ions blood into every organ
of the body. *ne organs that are inherently
weakest break down first. Ordinarily the
lungs. As the last straw that breaks the
camel’s back comes a cold, however slight.
This, with the accompanying cough, com
pletes the work and an invasion of the germs
ofconsumpti. follows. Dr. Pierce’s Gold
en Medical Discovery cures 98 per cent, of
all cases of consumption. It corrects the
conditions that lead up to it. It is the great
est blood maker and flesh-builder known.
K. C. McLin, Esq . of Kempsville. Princess
Anne Co., Va writes "When I commenced
taking your ’ Discovery I was very low with a
cough and at limes spit up much blood. I was
not able lo do the least work but most of the
time was in bed I was all run-down, very weak,
my head was diezv. and I was extremely des-.
Sondent. The first bottle I took did not seem to
o me much good, but I had faith in it and con
tinued using it until I had taken fifteen bottles,
and now 1 <lO not look nor feel like the same ma
I was one year ago. People are astonished, and
say, ' well, last year this time I would not have
thought that you would be'livtng now.’ I can
thankfully say I am entirely cured of a disease
which, but foryonr wonderful ’ Discovery, ’ would
have resulted in my death."

Medical Heroism In Cuba.
There seems to be no doubt that in
many respects the Cubans have received
cruel, not to say barbarous, treatment at
the hands of their Spanish masters, but
happily this grave charge is not of uni
versal application. The medical officers of
the Spanish army, us befits men practic
ing the art of healing, have in many in
stances acted noble paits, and at least one
of their number has exhibited heroism of
the very highest order. In the course of a
sanguinary engagement with the insur
gents Dr. Duran proceeded to the front, lino,
with the intention of affording aid to the
Spanish soldiers, who were falling rapidly
under a hot fire, but scarcely had he reach
ed the scene of action when he was struck
by a Mauser bullet, which shattered his
knee joint.
In this piteous condition Dr. Duran
managed, with the help of his orderlies,
to bind up his own wound and then forth
with commenced a series of no fewer than
20 major operations on others, inclusive of
reduction of protruding intestines with
suture of abdominal opening, extraction
of bullets in various situations, adjust
ment of compound fracture of the leg, etc.
Many of Dr. Duran’s colleagues have been
killed in the course of this lamentable
campaign and others have died from dis
ease, while several more., having been un
fortunate enough to fall into the hands of
the insurgents, who do not respect the
Geneva convention, have undergone the
most barljurous treatment. One of the
latter, a young and promising surgeon,
was taken prisoner and subsequently set
at liberty, but not until both his hands
had been severed at the wrists with a
hatchet. —Lancet.
