Prisoner Hires Another to Finish

Atlanta, Ca, April 16.-A peculiar and

to light at the city stockade. John A.
Mize, white man, was arrested on the
night OF March 10 and on the following
day fined S100 and costs for wife beating
Not having the necessary money he was
sent to the city stockade for thirty days.
After working few days Mize hit upon
q clever plan by which he escaped punish

out his unexpired term.

station house and city stockade. He is

Grayitt had been sent up for seven
days. He informed Superintendent Camp
of the scheme. The latter was not sure
that such could be done legally. He con-
suited the stockade physician, who advised
that it be permitted, as the health of Mize
was bad and he might have TO be ordered
out. Mize was dismissed a free man after
having been sentenced to thirty days in
default of payment of 800 fine and he
was out for so.

Coineident with the turn of affairs whica
removed the boundary of this country to
the other side of the Pacific Ocean comes
the beginning Of a change in public feel
ing regarding cur civil and military SER
vice. The regular army has come into the
foreground as never before. In every 9TH
er war in which this country has been
engaged The soldiers have been largely vol
unteers with hardly more training than
guerrillas, and there has been no immedi-
ate necessity for all the men engaged TO
remain in The service after war was over
The soldiers OF Washington's army had to
go back to their farms and help TO Or
Eanize society at home while still holding
themselves as minute men in case of fur
ther difficulties. The same was true to a
certain extent of those engaged in the War
OF 1872. After the Civil War there was no
thought OF keeping any considerable pro-
portion of the Federal army in barracks
and it was not thought possible that an
other war could engage the United States
for at least one generation. But the
Spanish-American war has heen different
in this respect from any of It's predeces-
sors. 1t is not only probable. but practi-
caliy certain, that we shall have TO in
crease the size of our standing army; and
il is within the range of possibility that
we shall have 10 equip a volunteer army
for field service on very short notice. at
some time during the next twenty years.
The affairs OF the world are in condition
resembling that of bucket of water which
is almost ready to form into ice, and
which. if ii is Jared, win show ice-crys-
tails all over its surface. But the state of
mind OF the various European nations is
not at all cool.
This condition of things has forced upon
The mind of the public the conviction Il at
in our public service it is absolutely neces-
aary TO have honest and competent Off
GERS. We have had an object lesson on
this subject in the multitudinous army
SCANDALS of the last few months; and 1t is
TO be noted that most of those who have
played unsayory parts in such affairs have
not been men of West Point traditions
but political officers with records of doubt
ful color. Following the conviction of
the necessity for purity in army circles
comes inevitably the perception that I.urity
in the civil service, especially in the ad-
ministration OF colonial governments, is
quite as important. It Will be of no use

TO FIGHT THE PENNSYLVANIA.
A New Railway From Princeton
Junction to RoundbroOk

Princeton. n. j.. April l6.-Work viii be
begun tomorrow on the new railroad which
is to be constructed by the Philadelphia
and Reading and Central Railroad of New
Jersey. and which will pass through
Princeton. connecting Princeton Junction
and ROundbrook. The new line. IL is
claimed. will be able to run trains TO New
York and Philadelphia at least twenty
minutes quicker than the Pennsylvania
road. as it will connect with the main line
of the Central New Jersey at Boundbrook
going north and Trenton Junction going
south.
1t will also do away with the high price
which the Pennsylvania Road has been
charging for freight and will probably
kill the plans OF all three of the trolley
companies recently formed at Trenton for
connection with Princeton.
A force of 200 men viii be set at work
tomorrow and ii is expected that the road
will be completed from Trenton as far as
Lawrenceville in fifty days. The railroad
will pass just inside the northern limits
of the borough and a station will pv0bab-
ly be erected in Bayard Avenue short
distance north of former President Cleye-
lands home.

and heeling. The British financial system.
applied to America and American condi-
tions. is held to be wrong and oppressive
on strictly economical grounds. which are
quite unconnected with the fact that it
happens to be the system in vogue in the
United Kingdom. The British colonial
system, on the other hand, is one of the
greatest and most beneficent achievements
of the Anglo-Saxon or any other race in
modern times. 1t is SO intrinsically and its
excellence. ciyilizing power. and value are
not in the least affected by its genesis.

red man knows when he is being cheated.
though he may not see just how to prevent
it, and when he has been fieeced he feels
just as any other man would he wants to
revenge himself ON the rascal who stole
his goods.
Being an Indian, however, he knows no
other way of getting his revenge than by
the scalping- knife; and SO, sometimes, he
takes that means and gets himself into
trouble. which many innocent settlers
share; and then the Government has to
order out troops, and there is nothing for
these troops to do but chase and kill the
Indian. If all the promises of our Govern
ment had been faithfully fulfilled. and un-
scrupulous white men had been kept from
stirring up trouble, there would have been
fewer Indian wars than there have been.
And II We do not want a repetition of the
same trouble in the Philippines and the
West Indies with all the complications
of Malay and Spanish character and Orien-
tai customs thrown in. it behooves us TO
see that the politicians do not get their
greedy claws on the Offices. franchises,
and various privileges to be given out in
these islands.
The plain truth of the matter is that
there should be severe course of training
for all young men who intend to make di-
plOmacy or civil administration their pro-
fession; and these things must be regard
ed as professions. not as business. Men
should be trained for them as they are for
the army; and there should be an IRON
L., -,
trained men. The civil officer in our colo
nies needs knowledge of law, both
American and international; he needs a
working knowledge of one or two Ian
guages besides his own; and Spanish
should be one of these; he needs a good
general education, and the one thing which
he should not need, at any time, is politi-
cal influence.

WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY.
New Possibilities Hoped for Through
Lieutenant Squier's Experiments.

Lieutenant Sgufer's Experiments.
There are possibilities in the wireless
telegraph that have not appeared to Mar
conf. it is believed. With one set of
instruments worked on the wheatstone
plan. that is with punched tape at the
sending end and with recording tape al
the receiving end. it may be possible Is
send several hundred words minute. all
of which will be written down as they
come. and may be cut of in page sections
for transcription by typewriters.
One of the objections to the practical
commercial operation Of the wireless fele-
graphy that confronted the Signal Service
experiments operating under General
Greedy, at the State. War and Navy Build
ing, was the apparent impossibility OF
sending out several electric waves from
several nearby transmitters at the same
time. as the waves would be apt TO get
tangled up with one another. And as a
consequence the volume of business that
might be carried would be limited TO the
ability TO send and to receive of one sender
and of one receiver. But increase this
ability by application of the Wheatstone
principle and there is valuable snd
great expansion of the capabilities of The
single pair OF Instruments.
The tape may be written automatically
by the old style receiver in the main office
branch office, so it can at once be Iun
automatically through the Wheatstone
sender and be received automatically at
the other end of the trunk wave. which
with the use of the Marconi reflector of
curved sneet- tin. may generally be directed
whittier the operator desires.
There is a hint that Lieutenant Squier
is about to make experiment with the cleo
tric searchlight in connection with wire
less telegraphy. in the hope that the ether
wave may be concentrated and whirlsd oil
in a more direct and contrcllabie manner,
with lessened possibility of contact with
the earth. which grabs up electric currents
in very disheartening manner.
The Marconi reflector spreads out the
wave while giving it general direction
The searchlight sends little rings OF cleo
trio particles straight at the point toward
which the instrument is sighted. That is.
this is the theory on which experiment will
be based.
