Conditions there are similar to those prevailing in Ireland. Absentee landlords own most tracts of choicest land on the island. These Spanish owners here tofore have proved a serious tax upon the productive energies of the Porto Rican people. Now, that these people are coming into freedom, it is but natural that they will display impatience at the old conditions. Something must be done. The problem is one not easy of solution. Os course, there will be members of congress who will sug g< st confiscation. This would prove a high-handed proceeding and unwarranted by the rub sos international law. Re that ac ft may, a change must come. As private property is subject to condemnation for public use, on payment of just compensa tion, It can be alleged (and rightfully, too) that in order to secure the peace and hap pinen of the island, all lands owned by absentees shall be sold at auction. This is a tentative solution, and when it is time to take the bull by the horns, other and Ixdter ways out of the dilemma may be at hand. The bear that walks like a man is keep ing his good eye these days on that part of the world's map marked “Fashoda.” Government Ownership. A splendid opportunity is now awaiting those who favor government ownership and ojH'ratlon of telegraph lines, to dem onstrate the valuation of their views. All the telegraph lines in Porto Rico are now under control of the war department. Com mercial messages are being transmitted just as promptly as they would be if handled by a private company. Every thing is working smoothly, and satisfac torily. No objection has been entered to the schedule of charges. The reason for the government's hand ling of the wires on the Island is found in the two words, "military necessity.” Os course, when the war department feels that the necessity no longer exists, it will relinquish control of the lines. Meanwhile, however, the advocates of government ownership can secure valuable data in favor of their contention. Spain undertook to pay its Cuban army in promissory notes, and a riot was threat ened. The Spanish soldier seems to have more than a faint notion of Spanish honor. Missionary Work in Cuba. On reading the cables from I’aris, out lining the doings of th«* peace conference— or. more accurately, the non-doings of that body, and then turning to a perusal of League Correspondent King's letters from Cuba, one must conclude that this procrastination is causing n<H>dless suffer ing and death on the afflicted island. Moreover, these delays render more dif ficult the problems which await solution by the United States government. It will necessitate the exercise of the highest degree of tact in handling the Cubans. And it will be found, when the r< al work of pacification shall be begun, that tact must be harnessed with firmness’ The Cuban patriot y* not the ideal one. In the armies of Gomez and Garcia one might call the roll until the stare melted away before he could fill a company with men like those who served under George Wash ington. 1 lu re Is an Incalculable amount of mis sionary work for Americans to perform in Cuba. Cuban oppression and Cuban cruel ty shall not replace Spanish despotism. To this the honor of the American republic is bound. It is now Spain's turn to have a cabinet erir-is. Jealous of the prestige gained by Irtnce by the wholesale resignation of her cabinet. General Correa, Spain's minister of war. hastened to the Queen Regent to ,w ,lone t 0 preserve Spanish national honor. WhatlMean These British Moves? n j* 1 ’ 13 fair in ,ove and war.' John Bull, it seems, makes the adage th? crite rion ot hte actions in antebellum days It to look as if the horned animal 'was aft.sr the boa- and not chasing the Gallic rocster. This intelligence will prove ■hurtful to the pride of many correspon dents. diplomats and prophets. The per sistency displayed by the British admirai y in war preparations, even on the heels of Parisian advices, to the effect that Mar chand would be recalled, is now receiving its full analytical value. Now the British ■war ships are massed in the port of Wei dlai-AVei, instead of steaming at full Bj»eed to some French dependency, the "shrewd observer" to whom the 'corres pondent anonymously refers is like a ship at s<xi without a compass. Two corrollarles are fairly deducible from this mobilization of war vessels in th« Alien., (a) England fears a war with Russia, or (b) England knows that Rus- Bia is an oily of Franco. I’ownee county, Okla., has a campaign novelty. Father, mother and son are run ning against each other for office. The Democratic-Populist candidate for Public 'eigher is W. M. Obana®, the Repullcan • indidate for the same office is W T Obanan. son of the Democratic-Populist candidate, and now the middle-of-the ro.idere have nominated Mrs. Obanan, the wife of the ivemocratic-Populist candidate, for Public Weigher. Consequently, who ever wins, the office will be in the Oba can family. A Chicago Humorist. iPresident Bowen, of the Chicago City Railway Company, is a humorist. His reputation was made in a day. He can say " ith Byron, that he woke up one morning nnd found himself famous. The para wraphists of the Windy City have hailed him as a brother. The wits of the Press * lub have entered his name for member ship in their sacred society. In short Brown is a "bird.” The big city on the lake is 'having an epidemic of influenza. Doctors are thriv ing. while citizens fracture the second commandment. This has been brought on by the bidaily shivers in 'Humorist Bow en's refrigerator coaches. Complaints were laughed at. Though under his charter and under the law* Bowen should heat his cars when the thermometer signals, he has de clined to do so. But while this chief of a street railway monopoly refuses to give the shivering Chicagoans any heat, he has donated plenty of advice. And his advice is to take ice gold baths every morning before breakfast. Then you will not take cold in a moving ice box at five cents per cold. Choicago smiles grimley. She has enter tained a humorist unawares. The Emperor of China is merely work ing for a record. Kuang Hsu has heard all about the Hon. Bill Dalton, who met violent death daily for a period of four years, and he is anxious to take the cham pionship belt to China. Tesla, the Marvel. Nikola Tesla, the electrical genius, claims to have invented a process by which electricity at high pressure may be transmitted through space, without wir«. for thousands of miles. The Electric Re view illustrates Tesla's principle and com ments upon the novel and startling idea as follows: "Treia now proposes to transmit, with out the use of any wires, through the nat ural media —the earth and the airgreat amounts of power to distances ot thou sands of miles. This will appear a dream —a tale from the ‘Arabian Nights.’ But the extraordinary discoveries Tesla has made during a number of years of inces sant labor Which are authoritatively de scribed in our present issue, make it evi dent that his work in this field has passed a stage of laboratory experiment and is ready for a practical test on an industrial scale. The success of his efforts means that power from such sources as Niagara will become available in any part of the world, regardless of distance.” The war Investigation commission came across an exceedingly frank witness at Anniston, Ala. His name is Charles F. King; he holds the rank of Major, and is the surgeon of th a Fourth Wisconsin reg iment. Asked if the men ever complained to him regarding the food. ,Dr. King re plied that they had, and, being asked: "What did you tell them?” fee said: "I told them to go to the devil and eat what they had.” General Wilson, of the com mission, ventured to remark that the reply was exceedingly improper, and the wit ness was dismissed. OLD BAILEY DOOMED. Tlr I'amoni Criminal Landmark of London la to Ee Ilemoved- Alrnost every one has heard of the jail of Newgate and the Old Bailey sessions house in London. Novelists have told of them and travelers have made a point of seeing them, and now the historic old buildings are to bo pulled down to admit of the building of a grand new sessions house on the ground they now occupy. Newgate marks the site of an entrance into a Roman city. The gate was made in the west side of the later city wall. In William the Conqueror’s time a gate known as “chamberlain,” or the “Cham berlain's gate,” stood across the street be tween Warwick lane and the present pris on. That gate, rebuilt in the reign of Henry II or his successor, was in the reign of Henry 111 in common use as a prison. In the year 1400 Henry IV committed it by charter to the care of the corporation Sir Richard Whittington, moved by the ruinous state of the fabric and the terrible state of the jail, instructed his executor? to rebuild the gate, which was done upon the customary plan. After undergoing an addition, repairs and refronting at various periods the old building gave way to new ones designed by George Dance, It. A., the first stone of which was laid by Lord Mayor Beckford on May 31, 1770. Before they were finished they wore pillaged and burned on .lune fi and 7, 1780, by the “no popery’’ rioters. Afterward a sum of £30,000 was devoted to repairing and so forth. On the ope'., ing of Whitecross street prison, in 1815, Newgate ceased to lie used for debtors, and since 1882 it has been used only for prison ■ ers awaiting trial during sessions and for ►hose condemned to death. The present sessions house, next to the jail, consists of two courts, the old and the new. The first mentioned is for the more serious cases. It is lighted from the north and has a gloomy and sinister as pect. The first sessions house was that of Stowe’s time, and, singular to say, the trial court was open to the street, the back looking northward. It was succeeded by a courthouse erected in 1773 and destroyed in the “no popery’’ riots above alluded to. but. rebuilt and enlarged In 1809 by the addition of the site of old Surgeons’ hall, whore the bodies of malefactors wore tak ?n for dissection immediately after execu tion. The new sessions house will be rebuilt from plans prepared by Mr. Andrew Mur ray, the city surveyor, and will bo carried out at an estimated cost of £130,000. London Chronicle. Philippine Island Eagles. The insurrection in the Philippine is lands. now followed by the attack on Ma nila by the United States fleet, has brought to a close a very interesting set of expedi tions to explore the animal life of this very little known archipelago, says a writer in Country Life Illustrate. These were con ducted by Mr. John Whitehead, and among the results of his labors was the discovery in 1896 of the largest eagle in the world. It was shot on the island of Samar, one of the Philippines, where it lives above the level of the enormous for est, consisting of trees 80 yards high, and feeds on monkeys. It is larger than the golden eagle, more powerful than the harpy eagle and has a beak higher, deeper and more formidable than that of any other raptorial bird. It weighs from 16 pounds to 20 pounds, while the average weight of a golden eagle is only 12 pounds. The only full grown specimen of the great forest eagle obtained there is in the Museum of Natural History at South Ken sington. It was disabled by a single buck shot in the neck and ultimately taken down fropi the tree to which it clung by a native hunter. Its claws are as formidable as its beak and resemble those of the harpy eagle. Wanted to Begin a Record. An anecdote ho told me with keen relish was of two “bad men’’ who “shot it out.” with Winchester rifles on the main street of Medora. One of them fell with a bullet in his hip, his rifle dropping out of reach. His antagonist was aiming for the coup de grace when he felt a touch on his arm. Looking round, he saw a meek and ven erable old person called “Uncle Billy,” who gained his livelihood by sweeping out a saloon, cleaning the cuspidors and serving an occasional drink. “Jake,” said the old man imploringly, ‘let mo finish him. I never killed a man ylt. ” —Chicago Record. OASTOTIXA. Bears the The Kind You Have Always Bought Signature .//¥/? if 7 of The News Printing Co. Does Binding and Job Printing of every de scription.
