Failure to receive paper should be reported to the business office. Address all communications to THE N®WB. Offices; Corner Second and Cherry Streets: 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.” •0 z Intelligent ' 1 people in this day and age al- KVa most without ex ception, protect MV'/Psaf e > the ni selves against small- 'J pox, by vaccina- v| A \ / tion.

Tens of thousands of 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.

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.
