NEWSPAPERS are run to make mon
ey, as q rule, and the editors who ca
ter best to the public appetite sell
their wares most readily. This is the
age of sensation, and the sensational
newspapers pay. 1t is fine fiction
to say that the newspaper creates
public sentiment; the public senti-
ment demands a certain kind OF a
newspaper, and some one is going to
supply the demand. The newspaper
writer who refuses to do this, is left,
left in the soup. There is not lead
ing journal of today that does not de-
spise the unhealthy, abnormal de-
mand for sensational news, and yet
all cotton to it, because it pays. Pub
lie sentiment is a mighty strong and
very unmanageable thing. NOX pO-
pull may not be vOX del, but some
times the voice of the devil is louder
than the voice of God. Public senti-
ment will sicken gifts sensational diet
some day and a new feed will be de
handed. When that day comes the
wide awake newspaper will be on
deck with the popular bill of fare.

increasingly cheaper railroad treights
is cheering. The cost of construction
and operation grows more moderate
as railway science enlarges its know
ledge and every year will see a small
decrease in cost to the companie s
which will iEure to the benefit of the
shipper as well. On this point so
good railway authority as Chauncy
NJ. Depew says:
Do you know that railroad IocOmO-
ton and transportation are growing
cheaper every day, and that a rail
road can do much with prfiot that
fifteen years ago meant loss? The
modern locomotive has been brought
to such state of perfection that its
cost on the one side and its mainten-
ance on the other are but fraction
of what they used to be. There has
been similar Improvement in cars,
rails, frogs, switches, and the num-
berless details which are involved in
the business. Add to this the small
er price of labor, the greater amount
tot work done, and the low rates Of in
terest upon capital, and YOU can
easily see how revolution has occur
red in all railway travel within the
memory of our generation.
The only question about this state
ment is that which relates to labor.
Outside of the years in which war
prices obtained the prices paid for
labor in <his country never were
greater than now. Judged by the
purchasing power of its wages labor
never was so well paid in the United
States as now. Never before could a
mans monthly wages provide for
himself and family 50 comfortably as
today. Not only so, but nowhere else
in the civilized world can q mans
wages support him in such comfort
as it does in America today. The
price of labor has notA cheapened as
have the necessities alS luxuries Of
life, and it is we'll that they have not.
The protection of labor is more than a
name, it is fact, and a fruitful one.

"There are some curious things in

yesterday. "Curious things among the

tain minister be called in to conduct the
funeral Of a fallen woman, and ever

to do the same service, no matter what
he may have said at previous funerals.
mot many years ago a popular
and prominent minister was called
to officiate at the funeral of
sport. There was very large attend

at glance, took occasion in his re-
marks to inject some fiery darts into
the crowd about the lives they were
leading. In the language of one of

another, but he told the truth, and we

SPOKANE FALLS. WASH, July ~
The town of Wallace, in the C@ur
d'Alene mining district, was burned to-
night. Particulars are very meager.
At Z p. m. the train dispatcher at Tekoa
received word from the Union Pacific
dispatcher at Wallace stating that the
town had gone; that it was getting too
hot for him and he would have to cut
his wires and move his in
struments. AS the Northern Pa
cific depot is located at one
extremity of the town, and the fire
started in a saloon at the other eX-
tremity. 1t is supposed the whole town
has gone. Later private kilograms con-
firm previous reports, but give no par
ticulars. Wallace is the center of one
OF the richest mining districts in the
West, producing half the lead supply of
the United States, besides millions in
gold and silver. 1t has a popula-
tion of 1000. and is reached
by both Union and Northern Pacific
branch lines. 1t is the largest town in
the district. 1t was built on the fiat at
the junction of the south fork of the
GGur d'Alene and Canyon creek. The
wires are all down. 1t will be impossi-
bic to get later particulars tonight.
The fire started in the Central hotel
and burned north and east over the en-
tire business part of the town.

LYNCHBURG, Va, July 27.-The
News to-day prints long letter from
Gen. Jubal A. Early, replying to the
recent structures of Mai. j. II. Lacy, of
SpottSylvania, which concludes as fol-
lows: GAS to Lacy's criticisms of my
military career, especially his reference
to my valley campaign, they are
too contemplate to notice, and
show his utter want of military
acumen and correct information. am
perfectly willing to abide the Judgment
of men correctly informed and duly
qualified to conform correct opinion as
to all of my operations, especially in re-
gard to the unequal contest in the val
ley in 1864. His lnsinuations as to my
being an habitual drunkard and
practical mlScegenationist are but the
fabrications of an unprincipled and un-
truthful crank, as he is known to be by
those acquainted with him. He says
that he inherited little save an honora-
BILE name.' No one well informed as to
history can doubt the fact that he
failed to inherit a proper sense
the truth. AS to the intimation of some
newspaper correspondents that Lacy's
TRADE might produce challenge from
me to him for duel, have only to say
that, according to my understanding of
the so-called code Of honor, If he were a
man worthy of such notice, after had
pronounced him a liar and a slanderer.

code does not entail on me the initiative.
/ Iregret having to obtrude on the public
attention in this manner, but the prOmi-
nence given to Lacy's communication
by the newspapers has rendered it, in
my estimation, proper for me to do so,
and trust that the papers which have
published his communication will have
the courtesy to publish this"

Many Tariff Speeches Expected in
the Senate.
WASHINGTON, July 27.-Tariff will
be the principal theme Of discussion in
the senate this week. So far all the
Democratic members of the committee
on finance, except Mr.. Carlisle. have
delivered speeches against the pending
bill. and he is expected to address the
senate Monday. 1t is impossible to say
how long the general debate will last,
as almost every Democratic senator is
understood to have a formal speech
prepared for delivery. The advocates
rlne from the treasury to the navy de-
partment will CALI it up in the morning
hour, hoping to reach vote. Al
though the bill Is opposed by
some of the most experienced
and able senators on the floor, 1t is con-
ceded that if vote is reached it will be
passed by a decisive majority. Unless
the demand for the passage of the river
and harbor bill grows stronger than it
is at present, the managers of the meas
ure will not endeavor to bring it before
the senate this week. If the amend
ments made by the senate to the Sundry
civil appropriation bill are disposed of in
time tomorrow. the house may spend
few hours in the consideration of dis
trict business, including the Atkinson
railroad bill. Tuesday and Wednesday
are to be given up to the agricultural
committee, which will seek to secure
action upon the compound lard and
meat inspection bills, if not interfered
with by the general deficiency bill.
The election committee is still pushing
for the consideration of the Virginia
and South Carolina contested election
cases, and expects to fill in the remain
der Of the week in that way If oppor-
tunity offers.

NEW YORK, July 27.-The French
steamer La Bourgogne, which arrived
here from Havre yesterday, had
the latter portion of her voyage
made interesting by the grounding
OF the vessel for two hours
and the discovery of case of
smallpox on board. One of the cabin
stew ards was taken sick on Saturday
afternoon. The ships doctor soon dis
covered that the man was suffering
from smallpox and had him isolated
from the passengers and crew. That
morning the man had been waiting on
the table. When the Bourgogne ar
rived at quarantine yesterday afternoon
he was removed to the:pest hospital on

one of his assistants then vaccinated all
the passengers who had sat at the table
at which the sick man had waited, and

Who Is Getting Whipped Down in
Guatemala?

CITY OF MEXICO, July 25 (Via Gal
Yeston).-Senor CaStilanos, the Spanish
minister here, has been informed that
two Spanish war ships have been Or
dered to Central America. Several revo-
lutionary bands are marauding near the
Mexican frontier in Guatemalan terri
tory. Both Guatemala and San Saliva
dor are trying to mass troops with the
utmost haste, but Guatemala finds diff
ticulty in the dissatisfaction of her SOL
diers. A Guatemala special dispatch
claims that the Guatemalan forces so
greatly outnumber the SalvadOrians
that in the present week the tables will
be turned.
R1cHFIELD SPRINGS, N. Y. July 81.
"A cipher dispatch received here to-
day by an official of the Guatemalan
government says that Guatemala ac-
cepts the war provoked by San Saliva
dor and will continue it until San Saliva
dor elects legitimate president in
place of Ezetan. The battle fought on
the 23d inst, the same dispatch recites,
resulted in the rout of the San Saliva
dorians, but as Salvador commands the
cable to Central America, the govern
ment only allows dispatches favorable
to itself to be sent abroad. The tele-
gram further states that the arms taken
from the steamer Colima were taken
with the consent of the Pacific Mail agent
and the American minister, by virtue
of article II of the Pacific Mail con-
tract. Honduras, the dispatch further
says, will remain neutral for the pres
ent, but may join with Guatemala if
events require her. Guatemala has
10000 men under arms and Honduras
5000, while San Salvador has only
about 10000 men,

Mastery in Tropical Countries?
Fortnightly Review.
South Africa is the only country

of arms, but by the silent process oil
natural selection. which. if it does its
work in less noise, is far more effectual
the conflict is going on, and civilization
or barbarism depend on the result
which is not quite so certain as those
who belong to the superior race could
wish it to be.
In the West Indies the negro has won,
but there the climate was against the
Europeans.
In the Southern states oil America the
same battle is going on, but there Co.
600, 900 OF Europeans surround 100000
of negroes, and yet even under these
conditions the question is full of diff

In South Africa the proportion is re-

midst of 100000 black folks, who are
backed up by great reservoir of bar,

Fifty years ago Natal and territory now

the Zulus, who had swept off and de-

natives in Natal, and at least 100000
in the Transvaal, outnumbering the
white by ten to one. In the Cape Colony
the struggle is better maintained, but

PORTER AND GOoDE
Are Wanted by the Commissioners
of the Worlds Fair.

WASHINGTON, July 27.-The commits
sioners of the worlds fair, during their
recent visit to this city, rendered to Rob-
ert P. Porter, now superintendent of the
census, the position of chief of the
bureau of awards, and to Prof. G. Brown
Goode, now assistant secretary Of the
Smithsonian institution and in charge of
the natural museum, the chief of the
bureau of classifcations and catalogue
for the forthcoming exposition. Next to
the director generalship of the fair,
these are the most important positions
connected with the exhibition. The
bureau of awards during the centennial
of 1876 was in charge of Gen. Francis A.
Walker, and the bureau of classification
and catalogue in charge of Dorsey
Gardner. 1t is not known definitely
whether Mr. Porter or Prof. Goode
have accepted the positions rendered.
1t is understood if they do that their
new duties will not interfere with those
of their present positions. 1t is not
known what salary will be paid these
gentlemen, but as the commission Is
anxious to obtain their services it has
practically determined to let the men
have their own terms. They said they
had heard so much In Chicago, New
York, Philadelphia and this city as to
the prominent organization ability of
these gentlemen that the commission
unanimously decided upon their ,selec-
ton for the positions named. Their
duties will doubtless be onerOus and
responsible.
