One Of the sparkling gems of
American literature so frequently
set into the fabric of our popular
plays is the plea for editors which
Dick Rothley makes to the banker
in "Flirtation." This part was play
ed by Mr.. Frank Linden, who is
conventionally speaking, ''next to
his sit" He said:
Journalism is one of the most re.
spected walks in life. 1t was the
fourth; it is now the first. 1t does
not mold-it creates-publico pin
ion.
To meet it's demands the throne of
Jove has been robbed of its lightn-
ing, the ocean scanned, and worlds
knit together. To me there is mu-
sic in the click, click, click of the
leaden type as they drop into line
together. And the thunder of the
monstrous presses, as they devouI
their oceans of snowy food, fills me
with an enthusiasm which / cannot
describe. While the editors-whc
so carefully watch our morals anc
protect our liberties-are the mobiles
soldiers the world aver saw.
This may sound all right whel
applied to ourself, but when j
comes to our contemporaries, tn
language is certainly too strong.

White Slaves Of Old England.

Eight hundred years ago all of the
large cities of England had regular
slave markets for the sale of white slaves
from all parts Of the kingdom. In the
Life of Bishop Withstand" the writer
says: "It was a moving sight to see in
the public markets rows of young peo-
pie of both sexes tied together and sold
like cattle-men, unmindful of their
obligations. delivering into slavery
their relatives and even their own chill
dren." In another part of this work it
Is noted that these slaves were "partio-
ularly young woman of fine proportions
and of great beauty"

THE SpANIAHDS OPPOSED TO AUTONOMY.
The Idea that the United States May Eventually Intervene by Force is Regarded in Spain with Con-
 siderable Anxiety.

LONDON, June 30 The Pall Mall Gazette prints the following dispatch from its correspondent at Madrid:
 Public attention is engrossed by the appointment of Gen. Stewart l.. Noodford as United States min ister to Spain. While the gov ernment continues to repudiate the intention of recalling Gen. Weyler, am in a position to reiterate that his recall will be an accomplished fact at no distant date. 1 learn that in all probability Generals Blanco and Macias will proceed to the island and divide the supreme command. have also reason to believe that, coincident with the arrival here of Gen. Woodford, Marshal Martinez Campos will proceed upon separate mission to Cuba. In accordance with the wishes of President Mckinley, Martinez de Campos should be the ex- ecutor of any arrangements possibly reached between Spain and the United States. Indications do not point to any arrangements being reached with the United States, and intimate friends of Senor Canovas del Castillo declare the premier will strenuously oppose autonomy. Senor Casteler, the liberal leader, is also opposed to anyr thing of the kind. They both consider that such a concession would render it very difficult to maintain Spanish sovereignty. The report that the United States will insist upon autonomy and the withdrawal of the Spanish troops, and that otherwise it will intervene by force, if necessary, does not make for peaceful solution, and the position is regarded through out Spain with considerable anxiety"

POST OFFICE CONSOLIDATION.
The Work to be Pushed by the Present
 Administration.

WASHINGTON, June 3O.-'rhe work of consolidating small outlying post of- fees with a large adjacent one. making single postal district with modern facilities, will be pushed vigorously by this administration. The opposi- tion to the scheme comes, it is said, from residents who have wrong ideas of the objects of the department, or from post office employees whose positions are thereby affected The results of the consolidation policy so far carried out have been most gratifying to the Washington authorities, and First Assistant Postmaster Heath has de- termined that consolidation shall be affected wherever possible and feasible. Consolidation abolishes the individual small post offices. and substitutes substatious for them; re- duces the postmasters to sub-agents. with accompanying saving of salaries and complicated auditing work, and instead of the many post of fees, substitutes the large of, fees with branches, all having free delivery and other advantages ac- cruing to post office from such privi. lege. Several consultations have been ordered recently. and others are con. templated.
 At Los Angeles, Cal, four or five offices near by have been consolidated with good effect, and similar action ha. been taken at Denver recently.

When ar rested he was making preparations to leave the country.

 Five sleepers were filled with Chi cago passengers for San Francisco, three were received, in addition to these, from the Pennsylvania road, three | from the Michigan Central and five from the Baltimore & Ohio. The Northwestern divided its and 10:30 trains into sections and run as many cars as necessary.
 Among those who reached Chicago during the day the largest delegation was that from Pennsylvania It came over the Pennsylvania road and was divided into two sections. There were 500 delegates, representing the banner l Christian Endcavor s~lte. The train bearing the latty from Philadelphia attracted attention, because in it were the national officers of the Christian Endeavor society. Every road is taxed to it's utmost capacity.
