NEW YORK NEWSPAPERS COM
PARED.
Each newspaper has earned praise.
The advance work of preparing for
the war seems to have been best done
by the Herald. Mr.. Bennett long be-
fore the destruction of the Maine
sent his chief news lieutenant, Mr..
Relck, to Cuba to arrange for boats,
etc, In the event of war. The Herald
had an excellent news service.
The Sun entered the fight for news
with the handicap Of lack of associated
press franchise. This meant that the
Sun must depend on it's individual
items as well as for the covering Of
big events. The Suns news service
was Of the highest order It scored
the first important news beat Of the
war, and clearly demonstrated it's abil-
ity to get along without a news fran
chise.
Immediately following the sinking Of
the Maine the best news reports pub
lished in New York came from Sylves-
ter ScOvel, the Worlds correspondent
The Journal devised exceptional ad-
vantages from the personal work of
Mr.. Hearst with the army. Work is
never so well done as when the one
most interested personally supervises
it-or better STILL does it himself
That part Of society which Is 50 ig-
norant as to consider itself learned and
superior, antagonizes with particular
energy that element in the press which,
through its energy, cOmpels the present
effective methods of neWS-g gathering.
But at this the modern editor need not
weep. First he deserves attack, since
part Of his energy is wasted in attack
ing and reviling his fellow editors; and
secondly, the opinions of those whose
day is past may well be neglected.
The man who derided the locomotive
meant we'll, but he was not important.

GREAT PROBLEMS IN ORGANIZATION.
BY ARTHUR BRISBANEo

Mr. Arthur Brisbane, the writer of
this article, is one of the best neWspa-
per men in New York. A dozen years
has been said to be the limit Of actiV-
ity of a man in the New York ffeld-sO
constant and severe IS the wear and
tear upon his nervous system. The
limit has moved upward in Mr.. Bris-
bane's case, for it is now nearly twenty
years since he lined up with a lot of
youngsters in the New York Sun office.

curiOusly, and because the boys IA
Their happened to be a man Of culture
and means, like all city editors, he con-
cluded that faVOritism existed some
where along the line, and promptly
bristled. Fortunately for the "Cubs,"
the Suns city editors were ever men
who measured their subordinates by
their merits.
Young Brisbane didn't do a thing at
the outset to Justify the impression
that he was clever. But his mentalitieS
were working vigorously all the while.
He was reading and disSecting Charles
A Dana's editorials. He was studying
the style of the very clever men on the
city staff whose strings pasted up
$I5 to 500 Per week, and he was watch
ing with furtive interest the gyraHOns
and hUmors Of that great master of
journalism to which we all have angri-
~ boW5d-the blue pencil. Bril-" as
he was called was never allowed t.
forget that he had a pair of legs that
could move almost as rapidly as-Wes-
toms and he was permitted to take the
midnight run down to the New street
and Oak street police stations and
over 10 that chamber of horrors known
as the Chambers street hospital.
Then there was the standing as
segment to meet the boys on the up
per floor of the old Press club, when
ever the city editor was absorbed in
weighty office matters. What with
these and other Office details, including
the drawing of a weekly stipend Of
SIS, Bril- was very, very busy for eX-
actly three months.

others in New York journalism. OPP
portunity suddenly arrived. Something
had occurred over in Jersey that prom

were occupied. He too was occupied

story" and the city editor handed him
a newspaper clipping and pointing
frantically toward Jersey pushed him
out of the office The next morning
a column and quarter story appeared
in the Sun, so full of humor and brisk
ness that the high-priced men all
smiled benignantly upon the new boy,
and the other boys were green with
envy. When the chief came out and
inquired over his glasses "WhOse story
was that?" the future of young Bris-
bane's journalistic career opened very
wide, and very suddenly, with long Wis
tas of first-class assignments and long
strings of So per column matter, to say
nothing of weekly feeds at DelmOn-
icO's.
From that day to this he has remain
ed one of the best known men around

down the line in every kind of news

day and Daily World, and was one of
PulitZer's trusted leutenantS. When
great commanders in the newspaper
business became fOrgetful Of their own
interests, and those Of their lieuten
ants, the latter are always privileged
to make change. Mr.. Brisbane is
now associated with William r. Hearst
in a position of responsibility in the
New York Journal. What he has to
say about newspaper organizations in
war time is instructive and interesting.
Ter it may be said of his experience

Americans Killed.

\ telegram from London, Eng
land, under date of the 25th of
May states that American mission
aries were killed at Rotufunk,
Africa, and gives part of the letter
that recites the act of barbarity as
follows:
ave started to walk to Sierra
Leone, but had only gone half a
mile when we met war boys, who
blocked the way. The Rev. Mr.
Cain tried to frighten them by fir
ing revolver over their heads :;
but, seeing they were determined
to do mischief, he cast his revolver
away and said he would not have
anybOdy's blood on his hands.
The war boys then seized the party
and Misses Hatfield, Archer and
Kent (Shenk y, stripped them of
their clothing, dragged them back
to the mission house, in front of
which the war boys cut down the
Rev. Mr. Cain and hacked him to
death, and then treated \ iss
Archer and u ISIS Kent in the same
way. Miss Hatfield, who was
very i'll, was thrown on IA barbed
wire netting, and finally her throat
was cut. Mrs. Cain escaped to
the bush with Il native girl !; but
the war boys went out seeking for
them and they were afterward
killed. -

TIE REPUBLICAN PLAT
FORM.

First, endorses the Republican
national platform on which Me-
kinley was elected second, it
endorses the Mckinley admins
tratiOn in all it has done in the
war against Spain /; third, it re-
jOices with the people of the Unit
ed States over the achievements of
the American navy in the Pacific,
and elsewhere in the war against
Spain, and urges the national gov
ernment to so increase the navy
that the country shall at all times
be ready for an emergency. The
coast defense is urged. The states
are congratulated on their prompt
response to the national call for
volunteer soldiers. Pride in the
national guard of Pennsylvania is
expressed fourth, the adherence
of the Republican party of Penn
sylvapia to the doctrine of Ameri-
can Protection is reaffirmed.
Some one interested in the Nicara-
qua canal, had a clause inserted in
the fourth resolution in favor of the
canal. The appropriations of Con-
gress for river Improvement were
endorsed, but no scheme for tide
water nav i"ation for the Juniata
across the mountains to the Ohio
was mentioned. Congressman
MahOn has quite Il stretch of the
Juniata river in his district but it
is evident that he had nothing to
do with that resolution or the Jun
alta river W Ould have been mention
ed. Cheap foreign labOrers as
competitors with American labor
in America is condemned, and the
importation of such people is dis
approved. President Mckinley Is
highly praised and his public acts
approved. The state Legislature
of Pennsylvania is approved, and
the state is urged to furnish the
money to make good roads.

REPUBLICAN STATE CON.
VENTION

The Republican state convention
net at Harrisburg last Thursday
ard nominated William A. Stone,
Of Allegheny county, for Governor,
on first ballot. Before the ballot
was taken, John Wanamaker with
drew his name as candidate, for
the reason that a number of his
friends who had urged him to run
for governor, deemed it best that
he should withdraw his name from
the convention as a candidate.
EX Secretary of State, Reeder, was
a candidate for the complimentary
vote of the delegates of the county
that he lives in. G. w. Stone, of
Warren county, was the only COM
petitOr for the nomination after
Wanamaker withdrew. William
A. received 19S votes and &. w.
Stone received 164 votes. William
A. Stone was declared the nominee.
The ticket is largely soldier. One
of the claims that will be put for
ward for William is that he was a
soldier. Soldier, General j. p. S.
Goblin was nominated for Lieuten-
ant Governor, soldier General
James w. Latta was nominated for
Secretary of Internal affairs. VIII
liam w. Porter, of Philadelphia, a
corporation lawyer was nominated
for Judge of the Superior Court,
GalEsha A. Grow, Statesman, and
Samuel \. Davenport, a lawyer
from Erie, were nominated for
Congress at Large. They are the
nominees of the party. There are
many things in the Republican
party that are Objectionable but
where are the people to turn for
relief. The Democratic party was
thoroughly tried under Mr.. Cleve-
land. The result was such gen
eral prost ration of the business af-
fairs of every section of the nation
that half the people were on the
edge of bankruptcy and a large per-
centage of the balance of the people
We're brought to halt i'll all pro-
fitable work in field, in Office, in
shop, in store. The convention
was not largely attended and was
quiet throughout.

La Ia kuage OF Flags.

To ''strike the flag" to lower the
national cOlOrs in token of submis-
sion. Flags are used as the SYM
Dol of rank and command, the
officers using them being called
flag officers. Such flags are square
to distinguish them from other
banners.
A "hag of truce is IA white flag
displayed to the enemy to indicate
a desire for a parley or cOnsulta-
ton.
The white flag is the sign of
peace. After battle parties from
both sides often go out to the field
to rescue the wounded or bury the
dead, under the protection of a
white flag.
The red flag is a sign of defiance
and is often used by revOlutiOnists.
In our service it is a mark of dan
ger, and shows a vessel to be re-
ceiving or discharging her powder.
The black flag is the sign of
piracy. The yellow flag shows a
vessel to be in quarantine, and it
is sign of contagious disease. A
flag at half-mast mourning. Fish
ing and other vessels return with
a flag at half-mast to announce the
loss or death of some of the men.
Dipping the flag is lowering ii

AoOlher scheme.

~ clever scheme is being work
ed by a pair of smart fellows in
nearby toms. One goes through
the country on a good bicycle.
When he strikes a town he claims
to be hard up, and offers to sell the
wheel cheap to get some money.
The boys admire bicycles and bite
readily, paying small price for a
first class wheel. After few days
the other sharper turns up and
claims to be looking for man who
stole his wheel. He describes il
well, giving the number and the
owner has to part with it. The
sharpers raise from $40 to $40 a
trip, and start for greener fields.
