nation leading othe'discovery of the au-
thors of the Maine disaster, and furnished
to.that paper exclusively, has called forth
much comment from other papers, very
little of which in this country at leas 1, has
been of tattering nature. The TRUTHS
that the paper referred to has simply
made most astounding bid for sensa-
tionalism, the very audacity of which for
the moment left the people breathless,
but now that they have had an opportu-
nifty to recover themselves the almost
unanimous verdict is that such an offer
was 'unwarranted. Many comments of
foreign papers conmendatory of this dis
play of public spirited journalism, have
with characteristic modesty been given a
prominent place in the papers own col
umn, but had all the adverse criticisms
of it been published it would have left
space for little else in Sundays edition.
The truth is that this is /. matter that
concerns the United States Government,
and with which no private enterprise has
any business to neddle. About the only
result that the offer of such reward
could accomplish would be to hinder and
clog the progress of an official investiga-
tton. A certified check shows that the
money is deposited with 4 very strong
institution. This precaution taken, it
leaves little likelihood that the money
will ever change hands. for certainly it
will never be paid out as a reward The
whole Affair smacks of Il sensational i'm
perIinence.

The most remarkable thing about the
present situation is the stubborn refusal
of the people to lose their heads and
make fools Of themselves at thn instign
tion OF sensational newspapers. This
country is just now giving one of It's old
fashioned exhibitions OF how to keep
cool. This does not mean that should
1t be shown that the Maine WAS the vic
tim of hellish treachery, that the Ameri-
can people will not know how to take a
terrible vengeance.

The present century has witnessed the
most of the worlds greatest inventions
and improvements, its last quarter being
especially prolific. Aside from labor
saving. the greatest element thmt has en-
tered into these improvements is that Of
time saving. We are all living at much
faster rate in all things than we were
once wont to do, and it is mainly this
feve,isli desire to economize time that
has led to the gigantic enterprises that
the close of this century is witnessing.
One of these enterprises Is the connet-
ting of the Baltic and Black sea by
means of a canal. / successfully carried
through the Russian government will
have accredited TO it one of the creates
enterprises of modern times. it is esti-
mated that the cost will not fall short Of
100000, 600.
