The Cost of an Atlantic Gable.

Inc WINDSOR Magazine contains
an excellent illustrated article on
the Conn ercial Cable Company's
station at Hazel Hill, Nova Scotia,
in which the writer points OUT
Though the receipts from the
cable are good, the expenses are
very heavy. The costly transmit
ting stations in Canada and Ire.
land do not earn a penny directly
The cables average f250 per mile /;
the delicate instrument cost from
ESQ to E200 each; the expenses of
executive management amount to
about 10000 per annum; the
managers draw from $500 to ESOO
per annum. The stations being
5000 miles apart, travelling 'ex-
penses form serious lem. Re-
pairing expeditions are ruinous.
f35,000 were sunk In one expedi-
ton that failed another ship had
to be employed at $500 per day.
Cables break. Four were broken
down simultaneously by an ex-
traordinary seaquake-a violent
submarine eruption; whales got
entangled with them. Once a
schooner settled down and broke
1t. Ships anchors break cables in
shallow water; fishermen bent on
q catch will drag for a cable, hook
it, and then claim compensation
for not having cut 1t to save their
anchor and chain On one occasion
a cable was wilfully cut of New
foundland. The culprits were
strongly suspected, but conviction
would have been difficult and cost
ly. Cables have been buried for
miles in submarine ravines and
lost. Even the landing rights in
France cost this company tSOOO
and three months tedious negotia-
tions. They got similar facilities
In England for FL and polite let

pairing ship cost 100000, and often

Now that the refunding bonds
are on the market it must be ap-
parent to all thinking men that
there must be different arrange.
ment OF our financial policy or the
same course will have to be
adopted in the future. To avoid
this there are only two ways: a
higher rate of taxation or a more
economical administration. Such
an one that "Short Snappers" sug-
gested long ago. When he urged
an equitable reduction Of salaries
and the abolition of unnecessary
officials. AS the "pap-suckers"
won't consent to reduction OF
either salary or offices 1T shows
that there must be higher rate OF
taxation or a periodical clearance
OF the deficit.
There is no reason why NUM-
cipal or county business should not
be openly conducted and the people
know what the administration are
doing and what they propose to do.
Indeed the public have right to
this information for public officers
are simply public servants, or
stewards, and responsible to the
people for their official actions.
There is no necessity for secrecy or
mystery and whenever these
methods are adopted there is some
thing crooked and Of disadvantage
to the public veal.
An amusing scene was witnessed
on Alamo plaza Monday, during
the brief but violent storm. A
"street sprinkler" drove across the
plaza in the heavy rain. The driver
was apparently wet through and
yet he was sprinkling the street
much harder than he would on a
dusty summers day. And didn't
the pedestrian, sheltering from the
rain, give him the laugh!
They sat within the parlor grand,
Aud he said to the miss
"Unless two soils are quite alone,
There's nothing In kiss"
"And is that so. :" the maid replied,

Why John we are alone!"
She blushed but thought IL not amiss
To take his loves preferred kiss.

Kaustic Komments Upon Events of
the Day.
There are many who cry "patro-
nize home industry" but how
few there are who practice what
they cry, yet it is essential for the
welfare of the city that the cry
should be practically enforced: fret
because money, that by purchas-
ing elsew here goes to enrich and
prosper other communities, spent
here would give general prosperity,
and secondly because capitalists
and manufacturers are not citizens
, and do not support those industries
that now exist in our midst and
should be certainly fosteredby local
patronage.
Take for instance our own line,
printing can be done here as artis-
tically and as chesply as any where
and let many citizens send orders
to Austin, Galveston, st. Louis,
Chicago and even New York. We
have also one OF the finest litho-
graphic plants In the south, and
vet a leading hotel that uses large
quantities Of photographic station
cary, has on the note heads the i'm
print of a st. Louis firm. Now,
that work could be done as we'll
and as cheaply here. Is this right?
It is fair to the community? What
will be the inference to those see
ing that imprint? Either that
the proprietor Of the hotel is not
enterprising enough to patronize
his own fellow citizens or we have
no photographic establishment to
do that class work.
The same party Is extensively
interested in the manufacture Of
bricks, and he naturally insists
that people should patronize home
industry and use his bricks. And
thus far he is right, il his bricks are
of good quality and fair price; but
suppose the citizens were to say !:
"You deprive our workmen OF
work by sending your orders to st.
Louis, and we will follow your ex-
ample and send for st. Louis brick,
that has the reputation OF being
better and stronger" Would the
party appreciate the situation?
Aud yet ono action is as reasonable
as the other.

what it produces and sells, not on
what it buys and consumes.

There has been seen on the Ala
mo plaza a man who has erected
stand there, where he sells patent
medicines and gives concert. He
is a stranger, and a fakir in the
full sense Of the word, and 1t is I'M
derstood that he only pays merely
a nominal fee to the city for the
privilege that he enjoys. The plazas
are public property, and should
only be used for public, not per-
sonal, purposes. II this stranger has
a right to rent one part Of the
plaza, surely citizens have an equal
right to do so, and If that right
was allowed, without discrimina-
ton, as IL must be il allowed per-
sonally, then there would be no
plaza, but congregation OF stands,
booths, etc., the very thing that
we abolished in the reformation OF
the plazas. For this reason former
mayors have refused permits to
citizens to erect even fancy refresh
ment, ice cream and news stands;
moreover, the letting OF such
stands is not fair to surrounding
merchants who pay heavy taxes to
sell goods, which the stand-holder
does not, and therefore he can sell
cheaper, to the injury OF the good,
taxed citizen. A mistake has been
made, but 1t should not be re-
peated.
1t will be remembered that there
was a slight hitch in the funeral
ceremonies of the late DR.. Cupples
caused by the officiating priest re-
fusing to permit the Albert Sidney
Johnson Camp Confederate Veter-
ans to enter st. Mary's church at
tired in uniforms or regalias.
No explanation was made OF this
and the priest was some
what censured. The same course
has been pursued with the Grand
Army of the Republic. This matter
