Thicks Telegraph and Express Companies

Atlanta, July 1.-The Georgia railroad commission has taken the position that the requirement. of the Western Union Tele- graph company and the Southern Express company, that their patrons pay the war tax on messages and receipts as condition precedent to the sending of telegrams and packages amounts to an exaction of that much in addition to their usual rates.
 These companies have been cited to ap- pear July 19 and show cause, if any they can, why they should not be held guilty of such exaction in violation of the commis- sion rules.

WHAT BOSTON EDITORS SAY.

Boston, May 2.-The Post says: "The
condition in which the American and
Spanish squadrons respectively came out
of the sea fight off Manila yesterday
shows that for straight shooting the
Yankee gunners carry off the palm.
The Spanish feet Is crippled by losses:
the American fleet could fight again IL
fighting were necessary. Commodore
Dewey has not lost a vessel"
The Advertiser does not regard it as
strange that financial panic has al
ready been reported from the different
cities Of Spain, or that confident predc-
tions are made that when the taxes on
food are collected there will be bread riots
throughout all the provinces"
The Journal remarks: Admiral
Dewey. his officers and men, have taken
the desperate chance. They have ap-
parertly been rewarded by victory as
decisive and brilliant as has ever be-
fallen American arms upon the ocean,"
THE American people have taken n
solemn VOW declares The Globe. that
the evil deeds OF the Spanish government
shall follow II on every sea. even If the
globe must be girdled by the battle line
