WAR CORRESPONDENTS.
The New York Newspapers BcsicGed
by Men Who Want to Go
to the Front.

Fourteen thousand persons, 1t is said,
make living in this city by literary eff
fort. Nine hundred of these are actively
employed on newspapers, and every
blessed one of them wants to go to
the front as war correspondent.
What strange craze this war corre-
spondent business is! l have had q
men, by actual count, to beg me to pre-
sent their names to o. editor as volun-
teers, for not one of them ever wrote
l,ge for newspaper. They are men
of means, and all they care to go for
is glory. They will pay their own eX-
penses. I think some of them would
give $4,000 for the privilege of repre-
senhng the Press, as it would enable
them to get we'll up with the first gun
and see the racket at safe, close
range. But editors are loyal to their
men. Ny editor is crazy to go, and so
is his youngest Office boyi but some
body must remain here to run the Of
flee. Already we have the cook and the
king in the field, and the rest of US are
drawing straws.
There are enough war correspond
ents now actively engaged in the manu-
facture Of belligerent news to whip the
whole of Spain, and I regard it as the
duty of the government to give them
the best ship In the navy and let them
go out to fight the armada. If this is
not done we shall have marine view Of
the fleet of tugs laden with correspond
ents interfering with the maneuvers Of
any Spanish warship that dares threat
en-. If "Old Sagacity" only knew this
he would think three times before
turning loose his flock of sparrows. 1t
is bad enough to fight the United States
navy, and when it comes down to the
war correspondents-Lordy!
Gen. Tecumseh Sherman had fun with
the confederates down in Georgia and
elsewhere, but he had to fight White
law Reid, war correspondent, for 20
years after. He said that Reid was
the biggest liar he ever knew, and Reid
said the same of him. Sherman died
under a flag of truce. Gen. Hancock
fought Charles A. Dana until he died.
And it was pretty much the same with
all the war correspondents, not be-
cause they lied, but because no two
men could possible seize things in the
same light. When Spain goes against
our brigade of war correspondents let
her pray.
War has made the fortune of many
a newspaper man. Perhaps the ablest
of recent correspondents is Archiba ID
Forbes, who did the Franco-Prussian
war for the London Daily News. Janu-
arius Aloysius McGahan, an Ohioan,
served the Herald in the same war, but
afterward worked for the News, doing
excellent service. George Augustus
Sala was correspondent of the London
Telegraph in our civil war, which gave
him fame the world over. Frederick
Palmer wrote some readable articles
from Turkey and Greece, but that war
didn't amount to a row of pins. The
fakirs who described Port Arthur in
the China-Japanese war are still fax
ing. Cuba has been alive with fakirs.
Key West has them now-N. Y. Press.

found in the lowest temperatures. But,
as is the case on land, we do not find the
same kind of life in the colder and
deeper zones of tn ocean as IN the
warmer and more SHALLOW parts.
In the cold waters the animals are
dwarfed in size, somewhat as we find
them in high mountain regions. 1t is
said that the starfsh will grow aslarge
as q pudding platewhere the conditions
are favorable, but not larger than sill
yer dollar in the cold current of the At

places this cold current falls 2 to 21a de-
grees below the freezing point of fresh
water, at the bottom of the ocean,

Down at the far end of the platform

POVERTY IN INDIA.
Food Is Exported and Yet People in
That Country Starve for
Want of 1t.

Thus one sees that the population
of India, most fertile country inhab-
tied by most frugal people, increases
ataslowerrate than that of manyin Eu-
rope, at about the same rate as Japan,
and at q slower rate than that of many
native states within its own borders;
that India suffers under poverty
whichiscontinually increasing; that The
signs Of poverty are to be found in dis
tricts where the population is even di-
minishing; that of the otherstates with
which one has compared it, though rep
resenting a great range of civilization
and prosperity, some rich and some
poor, none shows so hopeless a degree
Of poverty; and that, nevertheless, one
is asked to consider the increase of its
population as the main source of its
misery-the one obstacle which thwarts
the good intentions of benefcent and
enlightened government.
Finally, when one hears of "over-pop-
ulation" as the cause of Indian poverty,
is it meant that the people are too
numerous for the land to supply them
with food? Food is exported from
India every year, so that cannot be the
meaning. Is it meant that they cannot
purchase foreign goods, having, in con-
sequence of the pressure oil numbers,
to expend all their energies In raising
food? The export of raw cotton, opium
and jute is sufficient to pay for the cot
ton goods, which are the only foreign
manufactures the mass of the Indians
use. The indians need no foreign lux
uries; they export food, and yet one is
told there is "over-population." But
there is one thing one has forgotten.
There is one foreign luxury, the most
expensive of all luxuries, and in that
the people of India are forced to indulge
the luxury of alien government and
alien exploitation.-India.
Her Last Words.
He was going away.
He felt that his country needed him,
and he was willing to make the sacrl-
fee.
His wife hung about him with a thou
sand and one bits of advice.
He listened quietly. He knew that
her voluble hints on the promotion OF
health, and when to change fannels,
and what is good for cold, hid the
anguish of heart that cried out IL
desolate loneliness.
Pretty soon he was ready.
There was a sobbing embrace, and he
started.
"Gcorge George!" she shrieked, as
she suddenly turned and chased after
him.
what is it, my love?"
ooh, I almost forgot it. Here's let
ter to Aunt Emily to mail, and don't
you dare to carry it around in your in
side pocket until the war Is over!"
Then she went back in the house and
had a good cry.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.
