The present war has given the public the
best of opportunities to become acquainted
with the work of special correspondents
and special writers on topics connected
with the conflict Poultney Bigelow, Rich
ard Harding Davis, John Fox, Stephen
Crane and number of others whose names
are more or less familiar to the literary
world have filled the papers to which they
are respectively attached with descriptive
matter to which their signatures are APP
pended in large, type. A certain Importance
belongs to a signed article of this kind
which does not attach to an unsigned re-
port and these specials were read with
an interest that the unpretentious anony-
nous accounts did not at first command,
some readers no doubt fancying that they
were more authentic as well of more
literary value than the stories that came
through such sources as the Associated
Press But discriminating persons soon
discovered that these daily press reports
were not only we'll written, but that they
carried the story of the war forward from
day to day in coherent, straightforward
manner that left little to be desired and
that gave all the information that the
special writer's furnished later in less simple
form. In view of the fact that these AS
ISOLATED Press reporters did such excellent
service and of the advantage that signed
account has with portion of the public.
1t is matter for regret that they could
not have had the benefit to be derived from
the printing of their names. it is the COM
mon lot, however, of the newspaper work
err to lose his identity. What he writes is
not known as his, and, as often as not, is
ascribed by outsiders to other writer's on
the same paper who have wider acquaint-
ance than he. The men who have done
such good service during the war will never
be known to the public. while the Davises
and Cranes will win public attention and
pecuniary rewards through ungrammatical
magazine articles and inaccurate books and
will serve as object lessons on the benefit
Of advertising. But though the real news
paper man believes in advertising as an
art to be practiced freely by other people,
he makes little use of it himself.

Speaking of the recent return by the Chi
cago papers to their old price of two cents
instead of one, writer in the Fourth Es-
tate says: There are two other possibili-
ties for the continuance of the one-cent
sheet; one the invention of a way to re-
move the ink from paper used, the other
some chemical discovery that shall make
paper cheaper. We believe both possibili-
ties to be likelihoods, indeed probabilities.
Why would it not do to issue the would-be
one cent papers without any ink on them
in the first place? The Journal is ac
quainted with papers that sell for two cents
which would be worth just as much-or as
little-if issued blank

the assumption that for considerable pc
Rod at least after the expulsion of the span
iards. all the native leaders would exhibit
their gratitude to the Americans by heartily
supporting the new order of things" This
is the Judgment Of the two men of largest
experience in the army. In view of such
views there is little wonder that the Presi-
dent hesitated to demand of Spain the Civ

Thus far no authoritative statement has
been made regarding the proposed reduc-
ton of wages by the wire nail trust. Vague
assertions have been made that the cut is in
some instances 30 per cent. from the old
rates. This means that the man who has
been paid 81 day would receive $1.20 under
the new schedule. This seems incredible,
yet the officers OF the combination seem so
Indifferent to public opinion that they have
not made an explanation. There can be
little doubt that the combination is what is
known as a trust and that it's methods are
in violation Of the federal law. 1t certain
ly is against the public interest to cut
wages, close half the factories and put up
the price of the product. The home compe-
tition in the manufacture of wire nails cut
the price to a figure that left no profit in
manufacture. This was due to the introduce
ton of labor-saving machines and the push
ing OF capital into new factories until their
capacity was far in excess of the demand.
The combination was made to restrict pro-
duction TO the level of consumption. That
could have been done without a cut in the
wages of the employees. If any part of the
reports are true regarding the acts and pur-
poses of the managers, they are pursuing a
course that will turn the public against the
combination and lead to the building of new
factories.

The artist who painted the portrait OF
George Moore, the English novelist, which
is reproduced by the literary periodicals,
evidently took an unkind advantage of that
gentleman and depicted him as he appeared

to account for the eccentricities of Esther
Waters and Evelyn Innes."

After all there is no cause for wrath on
the part of the National Guard at what
Colorel Roosevelt said. He said that the

the smoke-making powder and the rifle has
