AFTER SANTIAGO'S FALL, PEACE.
PARIS. July 10.-The Madrid correspond
ent Of the Temps says
THE end is impatiently awaited. even
the government no longer attempting 10
disguise its conviction that after the fall
OF Santiago the time will have come for
thinking about overtures OF peace espe-
cially as all the European chancellories
advise this course.
THE meetings that are being held at
Bayonne, in the provinces of Navarro and
along the Pyrennean frontier greatly dis
turb the ministry. The partsans Of Don
Carlos are making no secret of their in
tention to rise. II the terms upon which
peace is concluded should entail loss of
territory.
General Blanco cables that It will be
impossible for reinforcements TO reach
Santiago in time to aid in the defence,
the duration of which will depend upon
the supply Of food and ammunition, un-
less the garrison attempts a desperate
sortle."
SPAIN NEEDS GOOD ADVICE.
The Temps. commenting upon the FORE

Almost Immediately three bulIe-

Spanish forces in Santiago, when
the latter was wounded, had de-

noon. The fact that the lombard

Information received by the War

Washington. Dec. 6.-The plans of tbs

of the ships of the navy on peace foot
ing have not been matured and will not
be until the treaty OF peace has been
signed in Paris. 1t has been deter
mined, however, that the home squad
ron Of evolution will not be reorganiZed
until next fall. This decision is natu-
raj result of the hard work experienced
by officers and men in the war and in a
measure Of the desire of the govern
ment to send vessels to foreign ports
where the stars and str pes have not
been seen for long time On account o
the withdrawal of ships to places WHERE
they could better prepare for and await
the opening Of hostilities. The Asiatit
naval force was concentrated at Hong

plate the formation next fall of several

ton is carried out, engage in squadron
maneuvers such as the home squadron
has been pursuing for a number Of
years. Admiral Dewey will have very
fine fleet under his command with the
arrival Of the Oregon and the Iowa at
Manila. and by next fall. after indvid-
ual ships have attended to the duties

meeting to the effect that through vote

declared themselves in favor of city
water for the drinking fountain on the

absolutely false but in direct opposition

there were only three members of the

Would itnot be in order, considering
the amount the town is paving for
light, to ask-whether any member of
the Council knows how many lamps
they are paying for, or where they are
situated?
1t seems to me that things have
changed somewhat since the last ad-
ministration issued its famous circular,
signed by the Mayor, wherein the at
tempt was made to show how the town
could be lighted, and So we'll lighted
for $2lG per month.
Now, if the figures in the circular
were correct-that is to say, if the town
could be so well supplied with light for
$2l6 per month (the $2l6 being with
out any dockage,) how is it that it now
takes $24O per month after dockage

Faithful to His Trust.

The JOURNAL congratulates Hon.
James M. Sloan, sub-treasurer, upon
the sublime respect he has shown for
the civil service law.
We say sublime" because when
party conventions all around him are
denouncing both the letter and spirit
of the law which makes competency and
character indispensable to official eligi-
bility, he is hero who does not yield.
If, however, he will look on the
other hand to the clamor against high
officials for the alleged gruesome re-
suits of wholesale incompetence in the
provisional administration of army af-
fairs, ne will find full justification of
his own course in pursuing principle
which is just as logical and needful in
public as in private business.
The JOURNAL hopes, therefore, that
he will hold to the straight path of
duty he has so far safely travelled.

\ Comparison.

FRosTBURG, MD, August 80, 1898.
To the MINING JOURNAL.
In recent issue of the Cumberland
Neecs there is an account of the city's
lighting plant which is interesting
when compared with what Frostburg
pays for lighting Its streets. Cumber-
land, with population four times as
large as Frostburg, erects a plant to
light all its streets at cost of $16,7 9S,
which includes IT'S lamps of l 200 can
dle-power two dynamos of 100 lamp
capacity each; Corliss engine of 125
horsepower, and boilers of 200 horse
power, poles, wires, etc.
Frostburg pays for street lighting,
according to Council reports, between
$3.50 and $24O per month for less than
one-fourth of the number of arc lamps
that Cumberland has. Besides, Frost
burg lamps are nearer 200 candle
power than l,200, and is compelled to
pay that amount for five years, ac-
cording to the edict of the REFORM Coun-
Gil of lS97-9S.
Let US take the minimum that the
town pays for lighting its streets
namely, $3.50 per month, and see how
long it will take to buy the antiquated
plant that lights Frostburg at the price
paid for it by its present owners,
$1,000.
Or would it be better to take the
amount it is assessed on the towns tax
books, S., 800, which is, according to
the returns made to the State Tax
Commissioner by the company, its
value?
But we can afford to be liberal and
allow them 81 900, and the town would
own the plant in two and one-half
years-half the time for which the re-
form Council mortgaged the town to
the Frostburg Illuminating and Man
ufacturing company.
And still the Committee on Light
reports progress at every meeting.
In spite of the pleadings of the citizens
OF Loo street to have the light moved
on Avenue to corner of Wood street,
as was ordered done over year ago.

To the MINING JOURNAL.
The Frostburg Forum of last week
does me a great injustice in making
the statement, jackson intimates
that the Forum is the creature of
Senator Dick. There could be no.
thing further from the truth"
| made no such intimation. Nor
did my letter to the JOURNAL of the
previous week contain a sentence or
word from which such a conclusion
could be fairly drawn. l protest, Mr..
Editor of the Forum, against your bad
reading, and statement to the public
that L made any remark that in any
way connected your paper and Senator
Dick.
But you put this unfair construction
on my letter to defend Mr.. Dick and
hide him from the true purport of my
article.
AS to discussing the science of law
with the editor of the Forum-I must
admit that am at disadvantage, as
| understand that he is lawyer and
practiced law in New York. But the
editor of the Forum. Senator Dick and
all the lawyers and judges in Mary
land can't down me on the Mine In
spector's Bill passed at the last session
OF the Legislature. And | am going
to stand by my fellow. miners and
show, so far as in my power lies,
that the mining laws were constructed
with a lame leg, and the blame for the
failure OF these laws to do what Sen
ator Dick and the Forum now claim are
violations of the law, should rest upon
the fabricators of the law, the men who
made the laws.
There are laws against doing a great many
things. Suppose, for instance, that the laws
against murder, arson and burglary were not
enforced, would you say that the laws were
no good, or would you denounce the men
who had sworn to enforce the laws and fail
ed to do so? A law is nothing more or less
than some words 1t has no inherent power
to enforce itself. A man a sworn officer
must perform duty ere a law has a SEM
blance of life.-Forum.
The Forums argument is good as far
as it goes, and, as | said before, do
not pretend to discuss the subject of
law with a lawyer.
Suppose. for instance, that a MUIR
derer, fire-bug and burglar, after COM
uniting their unlawful crimes, we've
permitted by the laws to select their
Judges from among their intimate
friends, would you, Mr.. Editor of the
Forum, say the laws were good, and
would you denouuce the men who
made the laws, or the murderer, fire.
bug and burglar for not killing them
selves?
But the Forum, strange to say, loses
sight OF the fact that in what it and
