Newsnaper Warriors.

A correspondent in this war had to
display many more qualities than au-
dacious enterprise and the capacity for
vivid description on short notice. The
expenses that must be incurred were
something tremendous. and the CORE
spondent who had not in addition to
dash and brilliancy a shrewd Yankee
notion of driving a bargain could cas-
lily have run his employers into bank
ruptcy, says Harper's Bazaar.
On the outbreak of the war the staff
vessels to carry correspondents to the
cable Office were increased astonishing
ly, and were chartered at the eXorb-
liant prices that shipowners were able
to charge under the circumstances. One
journal had no less than ten sea-going
craft in commission, at an aggregate
expense of 81, 500 per day for their use
only, and as it cost from so to so cents
per word to send press matter from
st. Thomas or Jamaica, and SL45 to
$3.50 per word for press cables from
Hongkong, a correspondent was put to
his wits to know where to stop.
One New York correspondent paid
sc. 400 in American gold to get his de-
scription of the fight with Cervera to
his newspaper. A writer in McClure's
gives a good idea of the absolutely
necessary expenses that We're forced
upon the newspapers in order to ac-
complish the remarkable feats of news
getting that last summer saw. Owing
to the threatened hazards of the war,
shipowners exacted from $4,000 to $4,000
a month for the use of each of these
boats, and the newspapers were re
quired to bear the additional expense Of
fire. marine, accident and war insur-
ance, which the alarmed underwriters
of New York had fixed at the enormous
rate of 8 per cent a month-equal in q
year to nearly the total value of the
boat.
One managing editors salary list for
a single week, including only war cor
respondents, amounted to S1,463.5 81. A
single correspondent representing an
other New York paper is said to re-
ceiye $4,000 a year

ADVANCES IN SURGERY.

had not probed for a bullet which had

a Hospital Remiaiscence.

There was a case of sickness came
under my care" says DR.. Doherty in
Demorest's Magazine, that had a very
happy ending. Tt was that Of Corporal
Finn of the Ninth Massachusetts. He
had been reported dead and buried III
Santiago, but, as a matter of fact, he
was alive at Montauk, and doing well
in the hands of one of my associates.
Il was in my tent one afternoon when
a young man came forward politely and
asked me if 1 could give the details Of
his brothers death; the name, he said,
was Corporal Finn.
"'Why.' said I, Corporal Finn is not
dead at ALL

bottle of ginger ale not half an hour
ago.
That could not have been my
brother, doctor, for my brother died at
Santiago. The newspapers printed it
Come with me and you can judge
for yourself, said, and led him to my
ward.
And we had hardly passed into the
tent when a voice called out: Hello.
Jack and there was the corporal sit
ting up against his pillow as pleased as
could be to see his brother. And the
brother promptly tainted away. We
had lively time with him for an hour
or so, but it was all right finally, and
in a couple Of days they started home

Mr. Walker says further: The sec
rotary of the treasury and the comp
trolier Of the currency cannot agree
upon any plan of currency or any gen
eral banking law, and the president
cannot agree with the views Of either.
In addition, all three are opposed to the
Hill-Fowler Indianapolis monetary con-
ference bill, and to the MeCieary BIZ.
There is one thing certain, that no gen
eral currency or banking measure can
be passed until all The questions aris-

after the presidential election of 1904"

PROJECTIONS SHAM.


Neither in his message nor his recent
speeches has the president deemed it
advisable to discuss the decline in the
revenues under the Dingley tariff law
He likewise failed to explain how it
is that American manufacturers who
are always clamoring for protection
against competition in their home mar
ket, are able to pack, ship, pay foreign
duties and meet the same competition
on its own side of the water, at a
profit
President Mckinley has always ad-
vocated protection for these manufac-
turers. They are now demonstrating
that they do not need it. But does the
president recommend reduction of the
duties by which they are enabled to
command higher prices for their wares
at home than abroad? He cannot help
being convinced, but he has cham
pioned the cause of capital so long that
he is not free to act upon his convic-
lions now.
Official statistics show that agricul-
tural implements are being sent to the
remotest parts of the earth and sold
at lower figures than the American
farmer can get them for, and that this
trade brings returns which justify it's
extension.
Had the president been as proud of
the results of his tariff system as he
used to be, he would have called at
tention to these facts, even if no ex-
PLANTATION for the conditions had been
offered

NO WONDER 1T FAILED.

'Ex-President Grover Cleveland has
decided to abandon the school farm
for homeless boys, which he, in COM
pany with others, undertook early in
the summer" So says a dispatch.
The scheme failed and the homeless
boys will have to go back home and
the ex-president viii have to turn his
attention to some other kind of farm,
If history may be relied upon, he never
was much of a success at raising boys,
anyhow, and he ought to have known
better than TO start farm for that
purpose.
If the ex-president had been content
with a small beginning it would have
been more becoming. But he wanted
to branch out and go into business on
a grand scale.
No wonder he failed. Men who i'm
agine they are fnanciers because they
find a dollar, or farmers because they
have cultivated one pumpkin, are
doomed to failure when they act upon
the assumption.

Circumventing a Shell.

in Leslies Weekly. The major says:

thought it must surely pass beyond,
but it struck tall tree and ricocheted
to the ground, exploding at the very
spot where we were standing. AS

man a sharp push forward, throwing
him TO the ground, and then cast my
self on the ground, also in a forward
direction, as I knew that the fragments
of the shell would be driven backward
by the momentum.
THE explosion came not ten feet from
where We were lying. and both of us
were buried in the dirt hurled violently
over us. There was a hole in the
ground where the shell struck big

CURRENCY REFORM BLOCKED

Some of the most enthusiastic cur
rency reformers in the country are
growing respondent over the outlook
Tor immediate legislation along the
lines laid down by the monetary con-
ference at indianapolis.
The president is known to favor early
and decisive action on this matter, and
he is disposed to call an extra session
OF congress for that purpose, but the
other politicians Of his party are afraid
that an extra session would be dad
politics." as they cali it, and that it is
not the part Of wisdom to press cur
at the same time.
Representative Joseph Henry Wal
ker of Massachusetts, chairman Of the
banking and currency committee of the
house, was interviewed in New York
the other day. He said:
q am willing to stake my reputa-
ton upon it that there win not be any
currency reform legislation or any gen
eraI banking or currency legislation
passed by congress before 1904"
He based his observation upon the
UlSSaLlSAdELlJu GAlSLll46 aIloll5 EOlQ
monometalIists concerning the Nc
Cleary bill which would bring about 9
far worse condition than now prevails
in the country" Such an admission of
the weakness Of the measure and the
unsatisfactory condition under the
present standard, from such a source, is
surprising. He was equally deprecatory
in his reference to the Hin-Fowler bin,
which the committee has had under
consideration.
Chairman Walker made this further
authoritative statement: u may say
confidently that the Hfl-Fowler bill
VIII not pass. The committee is over
whelmingly opposed to it. 1t is also
Overwhelmingly opposed to the Nc
Cleary bill. 1t win not report favor
ably any measure at this or the next
session"
The secret Of this lack of harmony,
even among those who favor the early
action urged by the president in his
message, is their inability to agree upon
details. or to cope VITA this while try
