TT WILL BE remembered that mem
ton was made in this paper several
weeks ago that the Postal Telegraph
Co. had sent an expert to Europe to
investigate the new telegraphing sys-
tenn that has been experimental with
on the continent. The new method has
Just received another test on telegraph
lines running from Budapest to Berlin
in the presence Of experts representing
the German and French governements,
also Hungarian officials and the Amre-
lean company referred to, and the ap-
paratus is pronounced a marvel of in
genuity. The average Of wiring is %
words a second, giving 1920 words a
minute and over $4,000 an hour. These
results were witnessed and testified to
by the experts. The messages are first
perforated on slip of paper. These
signs are then transmitted with light
ming speed over the wires, and are re-
ceived as photograms at the other end
where they can be read and quickly
prepared for delivery. The inventors
of the apparatus are Antin Pollak and
Joseph Virag, two Hungarian engi-
neers. This will offer leisure to few
telegraph operators and give than
time to study the labor problem and
social science, and when the principle
is applied to wireless telegraphy the
linemen and construction gangs can
take permanent vacation.

A NENT the battle Of Glencoe, the

marquis of Lansdowne, received
the following message from the queen
lat Balmoral Castle:
my heart bleeds for these dreadful
losses again today. 1t is a great sue
cess, but, I fear, very dearly bought.
Would you convey my warmest and
heartfelt sympathy with the near rel

not help observing how much more
comfortable and easy it is for a
queens heart to bleed at magnificent

Atkinses to bleed from bayonet thrusts
or bullet punctures in the trenches or
on the field, and their mothers and

poverty Of their dingy little 10 3

Comes High.

4 r least one hundred million dollars
II year is being. expended in carry
4 ing on the war in the Philippines.
No one can prophesy when it will end.
But the administration has been COM
piling figures relative to the future
government Of the islands, which are
calculated to make the tax payers
stare. The lowest estimate of the war
department is that it will take an ar
my Of $500 men to properly garrison
the islands, in "a time of profound
peace. Spain never kept less than 5O,-
600 men under arms. But the cost of
maintaining an American army is
many times that of maintaining a
Spanish army; and $50,000,000 a year is
the lowest estimate for maintaining
that army with it's costly transport
service and rations drawn almost en-
tirely from the United States. The
war department is quite within limits
in estimating that of this army, not
less than ten per cent would find their
way to the pension rolls annually.
Another $5; ;OOO,O 900 is reckoned for naval
expenditures.
FOR CIVIL ADMINISTRATIONS, SlUUVU,VVo Is
estimated. One item alone looks for
the employment Of as many revenue
cutters as there are now in the United
States service. Spain used more than
fifty coast guard vessels. It should be
remembered in this connection that
the islands have in the aggregate d
longer coast line than the United
States. Their nearness to the Asiatic
main Hand would make the mainten-
ance of an enormous fleet of revenue
cutters necessary to prevent snug
Cling.
Here is an expenditure of at least
$65,0OO,00O a year forecast for time
of peace. The entire trade with the
Philippines will never amount to one
tenth that sum annually. Is this en-
ormous expenditure to be saddled up
on American taxpayers? If SO, the
game is not worth the candle. Is it
to be saddled upon the Filipinos? :?
Then the burden will be. three times
that which Spain exacteI and against
which thp F,i:ipinos lrevrlted. Verify,
the Mckinley type Of freedom and
benevolent assimilation comes high.

Hanna Can't See.

AH ARK HANNA,S antics are divert
wi ing-to those who are not repub-
licans. Hanna seems to have for
gotten that his success as political
manager lies in Keeping the "bar'P'
wide open and saying nothing. When
he makes speeches he gets his party
into trouble. He is falling all over
hin4sqlf about trusts. First he adj
nnitted their existence, but begged that
their creator, the republican party, be
allowed to deal with them. -, - -..
Now in his fright, he loudly declares
that there isn't amy such thing as a
trust. He thinks by labelling the trust
a, corporation, the issue is thereby dis
missed. 1t is not the name at the conf
bination which matters. The, people
are interested in it's ability to put up
prices and deny employment, except
on it's own terms. Hanna talks about
prosperity and says these commercial
combinations harm no one..
Hanna might try to explain, :, a few
instances, like the following
Ten thousand cotton mill operatives
in Massachusetts, are to go on strike
rate fixed four years ago, in an era of
great 1 depression, while everything
they have to buy, whether it be food,
clothes or household furniture, has ad-
vanced from Is to so, per cent in price.
They want an increase in wages in or
der, to meet. the eXtortions Of the
trusts. ~.
Several hundreds of men Formerly
employed in leather manufacturing es-
Establishments in Massachusetts, art
complaining that the leather trust has
shut them out of employment. It is
more profitable for the trust to CEN
tralize production, but how about the
prosperity of men thrown out of work
by their methods? i'r
In the Cramps ship yards 1,500 men
have been on a strike for weeks be-
cause the employers building ships for
our government at high prices, refuse
rea sonable hours of labor and a slight
advance in wages. Hanna will find
it convenient to overlook instances Of
this kind of prosperity. %4
While Mark Hanna is shutting his
eyes and saying he can't see any
trusts, the republican supreme court of
Illinois has discovered trust in the
Glucose concern and has ordered it's
dissolution. Within the same week OF
Hanna's declaration, the Diamond
Match Trust, the Sugar Trust and the
American Tobacco Trust re-dssued
confidential circulars to their distrib-
uting agencies, instructing them to
warn retail. dcas@rs that If they dared
to buy goods Of rival Independent com-
Germs, they could get no more goods
from the trusts.

What Bryan Sl0nlQ Talk,

IT MAY interest you to know that
the New York Verdict, a democratic
l paper similar to Puck and Judge.
owned by O. II. P. Belmont, is saying
some radical things. 1t has an open
letter to Bryan in which it advises him
to meet the republican mill owners
threat of shutting down in case of
the election of Bryan, as they did in
1896, with this:
Remind the working folk Of this
threat made once, and to be made
again. Tell them to heed and fear it
not. Say to them that a democratic
congress will have election with you.
Assure them that the govrnment's first
effort shall be the building of it's own
plant Wherewfth to cast its guns and
plates, and make it's powder, and forge
its shells, and construct it's ships, ana
weave it's cloth, and tan it's leather, and
manufacture its arms and uniforms,
kill it's beef, and can its food; and gen
orally speaking do everything, produce
everything it's needs call for, from the
goods in the hands of it's teamsters to
the gold on the shoulders of its officers.
Say to them-and exc to the threaten
ing manufacturers-that the govern
ment will give work to every man;
turned away from his place and labor,
for voting for democracy. Speak it.
plainly: don't veil it, nor soften it, nor
put. it easily! This Hanna-inventedj
''srgument'' of republicanism is mere:
hlackmail in politics. 1t is worse than;
buying votes; it is vote extortion. The
voter is robbed, not bought; and the
country cheated of an honest fran.
chise without power of redress. Say.
as retort to such "argument," that the:
government will not make a "con-
tract" for arms or ships or supplies
OF any sort; that the public will, for
itself, do every public thing, from
mining it's own coal to mending it's OWL
shoes. At least, lay down the law that
not company which threatens It's
men with the loss of their positions
shall do a dollars worth of business
with the government while you pre-
vail at White House; and that every
hand made idlesby: your coming shall be
filled with labor by demoratic success.
Say these things! Not only say them,
d. them! This country must be saved
from anarchy. Talk: If one will, of the
Mests and the Schwabs' and the
Linngs!- The real anarchist is: the an
archist Of riches who 'blots outright
with his millions, and uses the lash of
his employment to drive and herd his
Morkmen in their voting. Fight the
devil of monopoly with the fire of pub
lie ownership: and meet a threat Of
idieness with threat of work.
The democratic party will not do
these things if successful, for it is
controlled at the present time very
largely by men ignorant of the real
solution, but such argument will edu-
cate the public. This position taken
by the Verdict foretells something of
what the campaign next yea,r will
bring forth. It will be a hot time.

Il. Il.

Frostburg's old baseball enemy,
Homecoming, was met at the DRIVING
Park last Saturday and disposed of as
of yore.
Aud so the good work goes on.
There was, however, some ginger in
the antics of James; fine old blue
grass bead IN the voice of Jacob
Jacobs, and tie scent of the cigar
smoked by T. n. Smith toated over
the ground like faith-cure over a can
of charley horse.
"But, nevertheless" as THE Scorer"
says
the "Coney'' boys dropped their socks, ="
to use a sporting phrase. They did good
work for a couple of innings then there were
a rumble and IA snort, and the rest was like
unto a Roman chariot race.
The home team was a little ott-COlor IN
their playing, and, but for the errors of the
in-tield, the visitors would not have scored
until the ninth inning. Hamacher's pitching
was lirstclass until the ninth, when he eased
up and the "COney' boys got five hits, or
just as many as in the preceding eight in
nings. Miller caught and his playing be-
hind the bat was right up to date. John
Spates, Gerlach and Powers played the out
field as it should be, and got everything that
came their way.
MCGEE was on the slab for the visitors, and
every baseball patron in Frostburg knows
Mike can pitch a good game when i'll
condition. Unfortunately for the visitors
MCGEE was out of sorts and in the fifth in
ming he injured his arm and retired. Nc
Guigan, of Piedmont, ok his place James
did the catching for the visitors, and though
not the aggressive, sCrappy player that the Old
standby Pollock, was, he is good catcher
and with a little practice will hold up the best
of the pitchers. All in all the visitors showed
Il rustiness and want of practice that will dis
appear after they get their grounds in condi-
ton. The game was umpired by Quinn and
Hansel, both competent gentlemen.
The tahulated score follows:
