The acton OF the express compa-
mics in evading the war tax, while the
steamboat and railroad companies
are complying With the law, is arous.
ing Indignation all over the country.
Now would be a splendid time for the
Postolflce Department so to expand
its business as to become an active
competitor Of the express companies.
1t is very probable that the courts
will compel the companies TO pay
their share Of the tax; but if they
do not, the various State Legislature
or Congress should pass some legisla
ton that will curtail their enormou
profits. We do not believe in elias
legislation, but in this case it woult
be justifable.

A GOOD story was told some years
ago on Richard Harding Davis, the
snob who is now criticising General
Shafter at so much per line, and
which story well illustrates the man 5
inordinate vanity. Davis and two
friends were witnessing a parade in
London and were by chance placed
with three Englishmen who were
strangers to Davis and his party.
Davis introduced his two friends and
ended by saying, as he tapped him
self on the breast: "And IL am
Richard Harding Davis" The
spokesman for the Englishmen was
ready, however, and introduced his
two friends as the Duke of Yelling
ton and the Prince of Wales, ending
pompously, "And IL am Queen
Victoria.

In the battle Of Manila and the
battle of Santiago Spain has lost
eighteen war vessels and 1900 men,
besides several Of her highest naval
officers. But Spain is getting used
to having her fleets annihilated.
On May 30, 1888, her invincible
Armada sailed for England, the
mighty fleet being made up of 1870
vessels larger and better furnished
for offensive and defensive war than
anything the world had ever seen be-
fore. And yet but an magnificent.

The booty consisted of 1873 600

In 1859, they built new Armada
OF 81 ships, which sailed against the
Dutch under command Of Admiral

Though Spain has met many severe
