GOVERNOR GEARY's TEMPERANCE SPEEoH.-
The short speech of Governor Geary before the
great Temperance Convention at Harrisburg
yesterday will be read with interest by the
public generally. He declared that during
his entire eventful career, on the Pacific coast,
in Mexico, in Kansas, and during the recent
war, he had found no occasion to use intoxi-
eating liquors. Moreover, he had conducted
his late political canvass, so far as he was con
cerned, on strict temperance principles, had
used no whisky at his Inauguration, and ex-
pected to perform the duties of his Office with
out tasting drop of intoxicating drinks. He
also announced that General Grant was about
to identify himself with this great reformatory
movement. .+' '' pup ~
The people may well rejoice that they have
called such a man to the Office of Chief Magis-
trate of the Commonwealth. His influence
will tell powerfully on the side of sobriety and
sound morals. a.-r...-

How We Get and How We Got Our News.


The reader of The EVENING TELEGRAPH, when
he glances down long columns of telegraphic
dispatches, and sees in moment what is
transpiring at Constantinople and San Fran
cisco, is apt to pass unnoticed the immense
organism necessary to the compilation OF
such variety of information from such dis
tant countries. The process by which the
present system of telegraphic dispatches was
completed has been extremely gradual. 1t
has taken no less than forty years to perfect
the organization of the Associated Press.
HGrper'S Magazine for March contains an arti-
Gle on elbow we Get our News" which, while
giving large amount of worthless and unin-
teresting details, contains many facts which
are both new and of interest. The journals
of America previous to 1927 were merely
organs for personal advancement, and they
consequently held news as a matter of small
account. To the New York Journal of Com
merce belongs the credit of being the first to
awake from its state of lethargy and
infuse new life into the dead carcasses of
metropolitan newspapers. The Journal, like
all other papers, had no means Of receiving
foreign news except by waiting until the sail
ing vessels came up the bay. They We're then
boarded by row. boats, and the foreign files
secured. The Journal, however, decided to
outstnp its competitors, and secured a sailing
boat of its own, which passed out the bay and
met the steamers below the harbor, got the
papers, and made all sail for the city. An
extra would then be issued ahead of all com
petition. For some time it had a monopoly
but soon the Courier and Inquirer also secured
boat, and the rivalry was intense. Journal
istic honor in regard to news was as rare an
article then as now, and tricks were resorted
TO to deceive each rival. The following sue
cessful ruse has been since practised with
effect
whenever one paper had "exclusive news, y
{. g., ahead Of its rival, the other paper would
delay going to press until its more successful
neighbor had been printed and distributed
throughout the city. copy would then be OBJ

WHAT is CONGRESS ?--Our Demo
cratic contemporary declares that ''the
Constitution requires Congress to be
a body in which each State is represented
for legislation;" and concludes that as ''the
ten Southern States are not represented - and
also "New Hampshire, Connecticut, Tennes-
see, Rhode Island, Kentucky, and California, "
that therefore the Fortieth Congress, meeting
on the 5th of March, is Illegal. If the pre-
sence of Representatives from all the States
is necessary, how, then, is power given to
the President to call Congress together when
lac sees tit2 Is it the fault of the United States
that the Eastern States see fit to elect members
in the spring instead of the fall And are we
to have no Congress in existence from the
4th of March until the middle of May, when
the last of the States elect? The idea is pre-
posterous. Again, if Representatives from
each State are essential, suppose Delaware
should fail to make choice-a contingency
possible when three candidates are in the
feld-would that invaldate Congress? Yet,
if each State must be represented Delaware
has the power to annul the entire Government.
We advise our contemporary to abandon
metaphysics and cultivate common sense.

Changes Of Fashion I'm paris.

The Paris correspondent ofthe London fashion
journal called the Queen writes that "The
fashions in Paris are assuming much of the
Spanish character. MGntities are generally
worn, and the latest Introduction in bounets is
called SeVlllane. 1t is most becoming shape
square, like Oatalane--and is worn forward
ON the forehead. 1t is formed of Ozenges of
jet, bordered with lace thickly worked with Jet
beads, and irineed likewise with jet. The lace
falis on the forehead, partially concealing it;
another piece of lace passes under the chin en-
oenoron. Either velvet leaves, a small white
rose, or cerise carnaton are fastened at the
SIDE. Among the newest head-dresses Is the
arehduchess, composed of two ro VS. of ribbon
starred with pearls, one row AT the top of the
forehead, and the other at the commencement
OF the chignon, and to the latter row double
scarf OF tulle illusion is attached This style of
head.dress is made with diamond and lace for a
court toilet The small wreath, called Mignon,
consisting OF light foliage, with large dragon
NY on enamel placed at the side, and with a
spray OF leaves falling over the left shoulder, is
likewise novel and becoming.n

More Cheering Indications from the
SOuth.

We alluded yesterday to the letter of ex-Gov-
ernor Brown of Georgia, urging the people of
that State to Immediately go to work and
organize government in accordance with the
Congressional plan of reconstruction. To-day
we call attention to speech delivered on
Saturday before an informal meeting of the
members of the General Assembly of Virginia,
bv Governor Perpont. Like Ex-Governor
Brown. he urges prompt movement for
organization under the Congressional bill.
Alluding to the reliance some were placing
upon the Supreme Courts deciding the law to
be unconstitutional, the Governor said this
vas illusory. The Court had resolved, for the
present, not to interfere with political ques-
tiOns.
The Governor said there were two ways to
make the Constitution under this act of Con-
press. The first was for all who desired to
enter into the movement to hold their primary
meetings in each county, and elect delegates
to a central convention, where they would fix
the number of delegates and appoint their
commissioners to superntend the election of
delegates to the convention to make a Consti
tuition under the provisions of the act.
The other mode was for the present Legisla-
ture to promptly pass an act providing for
holding convention under the restrictions of
this act of Congress. This course was opposed
by some, and it was proposed for them to fold
their arms in Indifference and take no action
in the premises. He was in favor of calling
the Convention in the mode last indicated, be-
cause it would be done under the forms of
law, and he thought would be more likely to
secure an acceptable Constitution with the new
element in the body polite, who were to par
ticipate in the elections and government of the
State. ..
The Governor further expressed the opinion
that under the act of Congress, not more than
five per cent. of the white voters would be
excluded. He had determined long since,
when he could not get all he wanted, to get
the next best he could In conclusion, he as
sured them if they did not provide for making
q Constitution, one would be made for them.
These utterances, from representative men
like Brown and Pierpont, show that there will
be an immediate movement made in the Rebel
States by the more moderate class of men for
organization on the Congressional plan. If the
fre-eating Rebels fold their hands and stand
on their dignity, they will speedily find them
selves swept out of the way, and left behind
in the great march of events. One of the
chief merits of the Congressional plan is that
it tends to break up the Southern unity of
sentiment, and to array powerful and active
elements on the side of the Government. The
old ruling classes there are too bigoted and
embittered to at once see the inevitable drift
of events and fall in with and direct the
movement. Hence they will sink out of
sight, and newer and better element will
come into power, one which will be attached
by sympathy and interest to the Union. The
outlook is more promising than it has been at
any time since the war closed.

column of The EVENING TELEGRAPH con-
tains, when set in nonpareil, about 1000 words;
a column of Washington dispatches would,
therefore, cost 500. As most of the dispatches
published are from a greater distance than
the capital, it may be safely inferred that,
were it not for the existence of the Associated
Press, each column of news published would
cost 500.
A despatch from Europe which, when pub
lished, makes half column, or ll25 words,
did not amount to more than 800 in its origi-
nal or condensed shape, and the charge Of
the Atlantic Cable Company is therefore only
on the 800 words actually transmitted These
500 words cost S2320 delivered in New York
CITY. When this sum is divided between the
Herald, Times, Sun, Tribune, World, and
Journal of Commerce., the cost to each--s39l-
does not look so formidable. The famous
''great Gable despatch, - known at the time as
the ''King of Prussia's Peace Speech" was
sent specially to the Herald. The despatch
contained 1910 words, and cost, at. the old
rate of 50 per word, the neat sum OF s5O83 in
gold or about $7lOO in "greenbacks'" This
sum was divided between six papers, averag-
ing cost to each of nearly $1,000.
But we are extending our article too far.
The contribution to HarperS, from which many
OF the facts quoted are taken, is an interesting
narrative of the progress made in journalism
Looking back at what the papers were twenty
five years ago, and comparing them with those
OF the present day, no expectation seems
extravagant in regard to what they will be
when the new century dawns What has been
done in the past may be more than accom-
plished in the future, and we may see the day
when seeming impOssibilities may be every
day events,
