Orr Habit Of Swelling.

Ever since the country awoke to the
need Of navy the building Of new ships
and all naval affairs have received very
minute attention and from the noise
made over the trial of new gunboat,
one might imagine that the whole ma
ton was deeply interested In the build
ing of an invincible armada. That Is a
way we have In everything, from prize
fight to n national election, and the
newspapers are largely responsible for
the habit. They work sensations with
such consummate skill that the American
people are unable TO tell hawk from n
handsaw. Pcaeeable citizens who would
not hurt fly, If he would go away and
let them alone find themselves gloating
over the magnificent new American
navy, and glorying in six inch guns,
zen barbette, " or steel ships Of 80 many
tons displacement, driven by engines Of
tremendous power. Now no doubt these
good ships are very good ships, and pride
in the country's navy Is very good
thing but II may not be prudent to let
this spirit go too far, or IL may get us
into trouble.
VI we loIulN iuSISt hpoh otbtNfhg
that all our new ships are naval terrors
of unrivalled power, we may be encour-
aged to an excess of spirits that will
prove disastrous. Suppose that another
snarl like the Virginius trouble should
arise with Spain, public opinion
would very probably urge the immedi-
ate use Of the new navy to enforce per-
emptory demands. The people would
feel the oats now so literally fed to them
by the correspondents who describe
naval affairs. A few steel cruisers and
gunboats would thereupon be dis
patched to win glory, and II they never
came back again there would I've some
very emphatic surprise and more fun
for the sensation dealers. Spain is "a
poor, old, knock-kneed, broken down
kingdom, but she has some fine ships,
and can buy more in England, where
Others were secured. The moral Is that we
must take our naval oats with salt. We
are trying to build the best ships ailoat,
but other nations are trying just as hard
to do the same thing, and have ms fair u
prospect of success =.

WE imported last year about one sixth of
the salt we used and paid heavy tax on
this in order that the remaining iive-sixths
might be taxed by the home monopoly.
But even this did not satisfy the salt trusts
and they arrange TO secure more effective
protection by combination with their
foreign rivals that will enable them 10 raise
prices far above the tariff level without
fear OF competition. The removal of the
tax might not have prevented this, but it
is possible that it would have made il more
difficult and AT all events We would be
saved the spectacle of an International
monopoly established under or rather over
an American tariff

LANCASTER, PA, July ls, 1889.
The Telearaph Ser,icc.

lne REDUCTION winch the postmaster
general ordered to I've made in the rates
paid by the government for telegraphic
eefvice seemed 10 do injustice to
the companies, one-tenth Of a cent
per word seeming TO be very
Inadequate price. Mr.. Wanamaker
has well-earned repute for busi-
mess sagacity, and II looked as though
he was seeking to drive as hard bar
gain as postmaster general as he might
have done as merchant when he got
seller In tight place.
We have done him injustice, however,
II 1t Is true, as now stated, that the
Western Union company grants even
better terms of service to private GUS
toOers gwho have much more use for its
liAes. Mr.. Wanamaker understands
that great corporations pay nothing for
their telegraphic service, and that the
deAd-head business done by the Western
Union company has enormous dimen-
sions for all of which he II noted the
other customers pay
The postmaster general was justified
in Withdrawing the United States from
the number of the victims of the dead
head telegraphing business and propos
ing rate of compensation that would
give the people as citizens some compen-
sation for the money they are over
charged as individual customers of the
telegraph companies.
The action of the postmaster general
will invite general attention to the fact
that the people are unduly taxed for
their telegraphic service. II will re-
mind them that the Western Union
company has practical monopoly of
the business, after repeatedly buying in
its rivals and thereby obtaining colos-
sci capital stock and that upon this
watered stock it pays dividends, ,notwith.
standing its great dead-head service.
The suggestion of the postmaster gen
eral of rate of tenth of cent pei
word, seems TO indicate that the neces
sary cost of the work done for the gov
eminent with fair profit ad lei, woIld
not be more than this sum ; and
his opinion, as that of remarkably
successful business man, is valuable
upon this point The obvious invita-.
tion TO the people is to ask that the post
Office department shall establish n tele-
graph service and 1t is thing that
should be done. The United States al
ready has the postal stations, and needs
but the wire connection. We are unable
10 see n single good reason why we
fhould not have our telegraph, as well a
our letter service done, by the govern
mept.

THE Mulcahy mystery of Montreal ap-
pears to consist of a remarkable series of
delusions. young girl thinks that she
went through the marriage ceremony with
a dying man and irt part of her very
straight story she has the support of her
mothers evidence. The story is improha-
BILE, but IL would seem that there must be
some foundation for il. The victim was
quite positive that Miss libbits was one of
her tormentcrs and in this she also had the
support of her mother and though il is
quite evident that both are mistaken il is
said that they still persist in their belief.
Under the circumstances the young stu
dent has been wonderfully fortunate in
being able to establish her innocence so
promptly and thoroughly. The whole cx-
element may after all be due TO some
strange mental arrangement on the part of
Miss Mulcahy in which her mother re-
fuses TO believe, for the practical joke
theory seems to require too much cold
brutality on the part of the iokers.

The two insanity experts who have
just gravely asserted their belief i'm the
insanity of poets, give scientific weight
to an opinion very widely held. A very
large number of people are totally una
BILE to appreciate poetry, just as some are
unable TO value music, and as we are al
ways 10th to admit any defect in our
selves, II IL quite natural that these peo-
pie should believe poets insane. II will
be noticed that the expert did not judge
of Shakespeare from his reading of him,
and II Is very probable that he had read
Just as little IA he could Of the great poet,
for he said, from what have been
told, believe that Shakespeare had u
fine mind.' Anyone who could make
that remark must belong to the unfor
tunate class referred to, who may he spe-
cimens Of the opposite extreme of men,
tai deformity TO that referred to by the
expert. No doubt he il right in
chasing Walt Whitman among the
crazy poets, but the line may perhaps
he drawn ON both sides of perfection.
The doctor thought that Shakespeare
was all right while Milton fell short of
his idea of mental poisc, but in the case
of the former he evidently bowed only
to overwhelming popular Judgment,
IL the possession of an exaggerated or
deformed poetical faculty makes a
lunatic, surely the total absence of
any such faculty must be very
serious defect. Nodoubt the truth of the
matter is that "a real poet is very rare
product, but there are many who have
poetical tastes without the strength
of mind necessary to do the work or to
abstain from it, A poet best explains It :
"Grcnt wits are sure 10 madness near allied
Aud Thin partitions do the bounds divide"
And this Is true of other great wits, as
well as poets, not excepting even physi-
clans and insanity experts.

of years. Six per cent on 81 900 for five
years is only $500; $50 year, or IS a
month. Surely there are 600 persons in
this city who see the importance of get
ting the hotel built to the extent
of guaranteeing $5 a month for
a limited time to secure its
being done. 1t is not probable that the
payment of this sum for the full period
of five years will be necessary. Indeed,
after couple of years the hotel will pay
its own way. Should this view be cor
rect, then all that would be neces-
ssry to pay would be $120 on
each $1,000. Surely there are
600 people here who feel this much in
terest in SO great public improvement.
1t will secure the expenditure of 5000 900
of foreign capital here in the next two
years, by which means the whole city
will benefit, and then the direct benefit
from the hotel will for fifty years repay
those who aid in its erection more than
$120 year each. 1t is paying invest
ment. By all means let the hotel go up.
