SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.

THE impression that the telegraphc strike
causes great losses to the people at large Is ex-
aggerated. The strike is simply debate be-
tween capital in the highest form of activity,
and labor OF the keenest intelligence. There Is
no reason for the excitement of outsiders. The
discussion ls animated and interesting, and we
may depend upon 1t that the result will be in
strIotive.-C Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
THE nature of the Democracy cannot admit of
harmony. The cOnsprators TO defraud by sham
are not faithful to each other. The Democracy
have tried to make the thing work before and
failed. They will probably fail for the same
reasons again. They make better showing in
the non-presidential general elections, for the
! reason that they are not troubled by the lack OF
consistency which necessarily becomes promi-
nent in a presidential contest.-St. Louis Globe
Democrat.
THE telegraph companies are wrong. They
ought to have heard the complaints, and, if de-
termined upon q refusal of the demands, pro-
ceded in proper and busness-like way to do it,
Business men will discover also that the tele-
graph companies are liable, under the contracts
for delays In the transmission and for inaccura-
ces of messages. When business men conclude
to reimburse themselves for business losses by
suits of law the telegraph companies will begin
to scent common sense near at hand.-Louisville
Commercial.
IF the company had time enough it could wait
until the present operators become sufficiently
skilled. But the company cannot wait very
long. How long will It take to educate the
present operators up to the required degree of
skillf On the other hand the operators cannot
hold out for any great length of time. How
long can they afford to go without wagesf 1t Is
Simply q contest WHICH can TIRE Jne Obnef OUT,
and in the end the one will succeed which has
the law of supply and demand on its side-Peo-
ria Transcript.
THE humbug cry of "turn the rascals out!"
will not serve the Democrat syndicate any bet
ter than nor so we'll as it has served them here
tOfore. They cannot hone to win by 1t, and
they ought not to. 1t Is only an expression of
the very essence of the fraud ana the rascality
they affect to execrate, dwelling in their own mo-
| tIves. They must get some other inscription for
their presidential battle -hag-one that Will tell
the country clearly, positively, without subter-
fuge or evasion, what they propose to do when
they get in.-Chicago Times
In these July days nobody takes the trouble
to think very seriously about anything, but even
the drowsiest understanding would be aroused
TO a more or less vehement dissent from the ri
diculously lame reasoning of the apoogists for
Mr.. Gould and his fellows The simple truth is
that the operators, as individuals, had been
using turf on the company until they were
wearied of the fruitless exercise. They are now
trying stones, and with such marked effect that
nothing but the preternatura callOusness OF their
adversary rObs them of the victory they de-
serve.-New York Times.

A CURIOUS case Of sensitive skin has been OBJ
served IN a female patient of one of the Berlin
hospitals. 1t was found that if a name
written upon it with the NAIL or with a blunt
piece Of wood, the flesh rose at once over the

tres, showing the writing very plainly. After
while 1t vanished. So many persons have thus

PRINCE NICHOLAS of Montenegro is poet. He
composed his first heroic poem after the battle
of GrahovO, when sixteen years old. When, in
1860, he returned from Paris, he brought back a
cradle number before he began his reign. 1t is
said that when he assembled to the throne the
Prince burned his manuscripts. Since then,
however, several poems have appeared in print,
as also the sketch OF drama which ls said to
contain passages of great beauty. small book
