Not Their Exact WORDS.

The general tendency 10 look at the ac<
tons of others through ones own partic-
ular spectacles is frequently observed, says
the Youths Companion. Perhaps not so
often noticed, however, is the habit of un-
consciously rendering another's speech in
to ones own language.
A Boston girl who had been taking her
first lesson in bicycle riding expressed her
satisfaction at home at the result of the
experiment.
The man said" she repeated "that I
had made most satisfactory progress for
a novice
"Why, did he really say that?" was
the surprised query.
:Well, no." answered the Boston young
woman. after a moments reflection, "wha.
he did say was You'll do fust-rate for

Some months ago the Morning News
printed an item with regard to the estab-
lishment of plant in Maine for the pur-
pose of extracting gold from sea water
IF the reports with regard to the opera
tons of the plant for the past four weeks
are strictly reliable, there is a Klondil1e
at the door Of every man who lives near
salt water The managers of the concern
say their machines have extracted gold at
the rate of 1925 worth. and silver at the
rate of $65 worth per day every woraiIfg
day for the past month. Their plant cost,
they say, $4,000, and they think $3.50 per
day is fairly good interest on the invest
ment They are now operating twelve
''gold machines and assert that they
will increase tfeir plant TO eco machines
during the spring. With the ocean to draw
upon for gold, the battle Of the standards
ought to be quickly settled.

tt is frequently asserted by persons who
discuss the Maine affair and the Cuban
situation, that a war would do this coun-
try good; that it would nsake work more
plentiful. War does not seem to have
had that effect upon Spain, notwithstand-
ing heavy drafts of men have been made
for service in Cuba. During the past sew
eral days our dispatches have contained
accounts OF bread riots at Salamanca, and
other points, because of a lack of work
If war makes work, and work brings the
means of livelihood there would not be
thousands of men and women in Spain
clamoring for something to eat, and break
ing down the doors of public buildings 10

have such scenes in This country in the
event of a war with Spain, but the prob
abilities are that we Should have a great
deal of suffering from lack of work and a
consequent lack of bread.

where Are the Privatess

Several patriotic persons have publicly
offered their services as captains. colonies
or generals in case of war with Spain, or
without regard to whether there will be
any war, but if any man has offered his
services TO the country, through any Gov
ernor or the President as a private, his
name has not been made public. All these
volunteers want DO be officers. If we fight
Spain it will be with an army of officers.

The question of the status of ocean tele-
graphic cables i'm time of war is one which
is receiving considerable attention. There
is doubt whether such property would be
regarded as neutral, or whether the cables
would be destroyed by the party to the
war which might conceive them 10 be a
menace to its interests. While the question
Is pending, the manager of one of the
great cable companies says his company
would take steps to fully protect its prop
erty. There has been no important naval
battle since the cables were laid. hence
there are no precedents liking the status of
them.

want the truth about the destruction of the
ship. We want what cannot be had by
mischievous voeferation in Congress or
by irresponsible and vicious cutlery in the
newspapers. The one thing needful to our
dignity and righteousness. as a people is
that which the naval commission has been
seeking AT Havana. We can wait for this.
The truth is always worth waiting for.
and when, as In the present case. the lives,
the fortunes. the welfare of millions of
people, to say nothing of the honor of our

The journalism of the Day.

The public journalism of to-day should
be the conservator of violence in every ex-

teach the public that its columns can be
relied upon as Swing the truth and only
the truth as fully as it can be ascertain
ed Altogether it looks as if yellow-kid
journalism had inflicted a fatal wound
upon itself by its uneXamped extraNa-

THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, MARCH 2 1885,

Representative Dingley, chairman of the
House committee on ways and means, is
the president of The Congress Temperance
Society, an organization which has, to a
regrettable degree. been hiding its light
under a bushel. The purposes of the Or
der. it appears from reports concerning a
recent meeting, are TO induce Congress 10
prohibit the sale Of liquors in the capitoi.
10 secure the upsetting of the custom of
cracking a bottle of wine over the bow OF
a ship at the launching, to defend the
good name of congressman unjustly &C
cused of looking upon the wine when it is
red, and, incidentally, to keep its mem
bers in the middle of the road. It's defen-
ses of unjustly accused congressional
brethren, however, are somewhat tardy,
as witness the fact that the society has
only just taken official notice of Tom Wat
sons accusation against Congressman
COBB of Alabama, who is alleged to have
propounded the famous query, Where am
I afr" 1t was stated in open meeting the
other day that Congressman Cobb was
positively not under the influence of liquor
at the time, but was merely tired. Pres
ident Dingley ordered the remarks to be
spread upon the minutes.

The disabled French liner, La Cham
page, which was towed to port the other
day, will be sued for salvage in a good
round sum by the rescuing steamer The
value of the succored steamer and her
cargo will be taken into consideration, and
board of arbitration will say what sum
shall be paid for relieving her. There
were hundreds of human beings on board,
and their lives were, of course, infinitely
more valuable than ship and CARGO but
the saving of human lives will cut no
figure whatsoever in the suit for salvage.
Not cent will be asked or received for
that service. The broad and universal law
of humanity provides that human cargoes
shall be saved at all hazards whenever
there is a possibility of doing it, without
expectation of pecuniary reward.

Coal. Gas ana Telephones.

The fact that Mr.. Croker the leader of
the New York City Democracy is talking
about the feeling among the people
against great trusts and monopolies-
against the coal trust, and the gas and
telephone monopolies-is understood as
meaning that the silver question will be
pushed as far in the background as posi-
BILE in the campaign in that state this
year. In New York the Republicans
hoped that the Democrats would make
the 16 to idea the leading feature of their
state and Congressional campaigns, be-
cause they thought they could win easily
If they did. The Democrats are altogether
too shrewd to do anything of the kind.
They know what the sentiment in New
York in respect to silver is.
Mr.. Croker conducted the mayoralty
campaign in New York city last fall for

idea in the South and far West. but the
political leader who should conduct his
campaign on the 16 to l idea in New York
would be regarded as a fit subject for a
lunatic asylum.
Mr.. Croker can make a good deal of
political capital out of war on trusts
and monopolies. 1t is undoubtedly true
that there is TOlIch fee1ino q o~oiret tbo,,,
not so much because of their actions as
because of their vast accommodations of
wealth. Mr.. Croker thinks that gas
ought to be supplied in New York city
at S1.00 per 1000 feet, that coal ought to
be much cheaper than IT is, and that the
prices for telephones are altogether too
high. Doubtless he is right, and if he can
make the people believe that the Demo-
cratic party can bring down prices for
the articles mentioned, that party will
stand an excellent chance for winning bv
a larger majority than it did last wear
Periodically for a number of Years Sa-
vannah has discussed the building of
an auditorium for the accommodation Of
gatherings of more than ordinary size
nevertheless the auditorium is as yet so
far in the future that no one can foresee
when il will materialize. The need of such
a building is recognized and conceded. but
that is as far as we have gotten towards
erecting one. Meantime the lively little city
of Albany has gone right ahead of us. and
is building an auditorium of 100 by 1870 feet
for the accommodation of the South Geor-
gia Chautauqua, and other organizations
and conventions which may care to use it.
This will be first rate advertisement for
Albany. 1t will attract meetings, and draw
the attention of strangers to the fact that
Albany is an energetic public spirited up
to-date, growing city.
