NOTABLE EXTRACTS FROM
 THE BIG DAILIES CokHE- sPoNDENTs 1 v v
CREAM of the SPECIALS

to prevent the Pennsylvania Railroad from substituting the Postal TOT the Western Union system along the road: A hint of the Morgan Vanderbilt plan was given last Friday when senator Penrose introduced bill intended to facilitate the establishment of new telegraph system. This bill. however, contempiates apparently the establishment Of sys- teIi that shall be owned by the GoVerh- ment
 There are rumors that the litigation over the Pennsylvania Railways oiu teie- graph lease to the Western Onion may begin tifs week. though no intimation of the ground on which possible con test may be made is given. It IS py no means unlikely that the closing oi sp 90 accounts but there Is little to indicate that the deal with the Postal Company will not be carried out. 1t is understood that minor changes in the parasimg n pa but ft Is predicted that nothing will prevent US being put into effect.
 That the Western Union will make determined fight against the Pennsyiva- mia Railroad Company was made appa- rent by the information that eminent corporation and contract lawyers had been engaged to examine the contracts between the Pennsylvania and the Vest ern Union, with a view of institutins suits against the-former corporation.
 It is contended that the Western Union has at least two claims on which 1t will enuedFOT tO prevent tuc Railroad from removing the poles and wires. One is that after the contract ex- pired Nh September last. the Pennsylva- mia Railroad continued the Western Union service, paying a monthly rental for the same winch, it Is held, Is an equivalent to the renewal of the contract existing.
 Another feature of the case, however, developed today. Failing to obtain ar injunction on the contract basis, 1t is said that the Western Union would claim the right of eminent domain. According to one of the best corporation lawyers of this city, the Western Union would in this respect establish a strong claim.
 It will be argued that the Pennsylvania Railroad and all other railroad systems are post roads and that upon these any telegraph company has a right to oper- ate. So far as the contract for the ac- tual Pennsylvania Railroad teiegraphlc business is concerned, the Western Union is said to care little, the one object be- ing to maintain the system already in- stalled along the Pennsylvania line.

noRN rn rHr WRONG pLAcH.

An American Woman born in the South" is the way she signs herself in A letter to The New York Post. but she dates her letter from 'The Adirondacks." and if she was born in the South the fact must have been an accident, for her sentiments are not those of true South ern-born woman. or one with Southern sentiments.
 The heft of this woman's kick is de- voted to Charles Francis Adams's sus- gestion that at some time in the future a statue to Robert E. Lee will be erected in Washington. Among other express sions of disapproval she says:
 Every Southern woman old enough to have positive knowledge of slavery must empnatically protest against Mir. Adamss reported statement, that monument to General Lee would typify all that goes to make up tine ioftiest type of charac- ter" The loftiest type of character stands for the ioftiest virtues: Truth, justice and mercy.
 And why, 1t may be asked. should every Southern woman" know that Lee is not worthy of honor. for that is what she means? Why should she declare, and ring in all Southern women with her, that Mir. Adams stated a fslsehood when he said, in effect, that General Lee pos sessed all the qualities which go to make up the ioftiest type of character? The argument she uses is inded a singular one for a woman wno professes to be or the South. That argument or charge IS that Lee, being aware of "the awful evils of slavery" fought for the shareholders and the slave States instead of joining the Union army! In other words, that devotion to his home. to his people snd his State which was one of the brightest stars in the crown of this great South ern soldier, was a crime in the eyes of this writer.
 If this woman wants to write for her self. and to express sentiments which could properly find a home nowhere else than in portions of New, England. we suppose sho has right to do so. but we protest when she wants to make it appear that all Southern women join in her opinions. It Is as offensive to them as are her criticisms of Lee. That Gen eral Lee was not a traitor to his State is a crime in the eyes of American Wo- man born in the South." but we can assure her that few women who had a right to be born in the South will be of her opinion,

A DrsGRuNTLED EDITOR.

Discussing the right or wrong of seces- blet Is an unprofitable threshing over of old straw. but we occasionally find expressions in the Northern papers which are very tempting. As an example, take this from. late issue of The Brooklyn Standard Union:
 But the worst of the discussion raised by Mfr. Adams.s suggestion is the claim made that the right to withdraw from the Union, 1. e., to secede, was an open question at the time of the Civil War. and only settled by force of arms after c long struggle, and, that, therefore. Lee and those with him committed no wrong ana no act of treason.
 This is false and dangerous doctrine, and would put a stain on the loyal reo- pie and States who stood for the Union, ~oue and indivisibie," by making It ap- pear that by might rather than by right they prevented the seceding States from going out
 We might also dissent from the sug- Sestion that the right of secession was an open question:" but we would dissent from MT. Adams's statement for a dif- Gerant reason from that advanced by The Brooklyn paper. The greatest and best minds in the Union, North and South, agreed that a State had a right to eecede. Whether they had a sufficient cause. or whether they should have gone out are entirely different things. and there's no need to discuss them. That all belongs to the past. and the chapter Co closed.
 But when The Standard Union asserts that thoss who fought for the Union were the only patriots. and that Lee makes itself ridiculous. If there were any traitors they were Southern men who joined the Union army and fought
 against their States. To discuss that Is also unprohtable, but We certainly deny the statement that it puts a stain on the States and people of the North who fought for the Union If we claim that those who seeded were not in any sense guilty of treason. The Northern States were still in, and were part of the Union, and both honor and duty bound them to remain true to their flag and their States.
 Whether the Federal Government and the people of the North should have used force to prevent secession Is a ques- tion on which good men differed in '6l. and on which they will continue to difter. Men like Greedy and General Scott and many other prominent men in the North thought that the Southern States should go in peace. but the ruling powers thought differently. War came. secss- sion failed. and that ended it. Why ko over the arguments again? Only be. cause, as we said at the beginning. some Northern papers are very aggravatInE.

NoAH'S ARK BELIEVED

Alaska Indians Report Discovery of Petrified Ship Near the
 Arctic Circle

 Arctic Circle. From Tacoma. Wash. to Chicago Rec W, 4, Reid. Secretary of the skagway T. M C. IA, has returned from the inte- rior Of Alaska, where he talked with the Indians. whose earnest statements. he believes. fully confirm previous reports that the Indians of the lower Yukon nave discovered an immense petrified snip in Porcupine River, near the Arctic circle. and north of Rampant, Alaska.
 When asked regarding it's size the In- dians traced its dimensions on the ground indicating a length of 1.2o0 feet. They sand that everything connected with the boat was petrifi sd.
 Among the things found in the craft vas large safe or chest Thinking there might be something inside of this they rolled 1t out of the ship and down the mountain side They thought 1t might break open. but in this they were disappointed. Though the chest was hol- low 1t remained intact.
 The Indians finally became convinced that the whole contriyance was something connected with the holy spirit, so they let 1t. but promised to pilot others there at any time.
 Such Indians as are familiar with the Bible are convinced that the ship Is Tone other than Noah's Ark. Reid intends to return to the interior of Alaska this sum- mer, when he will take some Indians and request army officers to detail sol d'ers to accompany him. The ship lies on a high hill. thousands of feet above the seq level.

WESTERN UNION WAR.
Morgan and vanderbilts Join
 Against Foe.

From Philadelphia to Chicago Chronicle.
 J. Pierpont Morgan, the Vanderbilts and all the mighty capitalists connected with the Pennsylvania Railroad, are said to have been aligned in solid phalanx to fight the Western Union Telegraph Company. Not only Is the Western Union to be driven bodily from its long held route along the Pennsylvania Railway system, but it Is to face competition that is designed to be deadly throughout the country.
 A new telegraph company with enor- mC us capital Is to be formed by Morgan, tlIe Vandrrbits and the otbers concerned in the Pennsylvania Railway, and this concern will buy or build a telegraph system that shall seek Western Union business at reduced rates everywhere.
 This bitter fight is scheduled to be the outcome of the Western Unions effort

So far as Montgomery is concerned the Fourth. of July was observed in a patriotic ahd sensible manner. All busi- ness was suspended, and a general hoii- day prevailed. The younger generation revelled in fire crackers, but not to the extent that prevails in Northern and Western cities. Our people do not for get that their forefathers struck many blows and endured many hardships to make the Fourth of July day memora- ble throughout the world.

Mobile Register.

Mobile Register.
 The Colored Ministers Union Is rightly condemning the prevalence Of the pistol toting habit among the colored people. The height of the ambition of the negro of certain class is to be possessor of a gun, meaning a pistol. Did we not read lately of a negro whose whole for tune amounted to $5.3S who expended more than half of his money for a pistol with which to protect himself and the other half2 Negroes, who are otherwise honest enough for all practical purposes of life. will steal pistols. They will go without food in order to get a weapon. The truth is that the negro has come to regard himself as unsafe among his own fellows unless he is armed. The preach- CTS may preach and may adopt resol,I- tions, but unless the law officers do their full duty and make the carrying of com cealed weapons a sure passport to the coal mines, negroes will continue to go about with their guns" ready to ssssiI all who cross their path. It will not serve to disarm a few. So long as many hear concealed weapons those who would nre- fer to be ranked as peaceable feel that they too. must be armed A general cam paign against the carriers of Weapons would be relief to thecnure community.

A VERY CRAVE CHARGE.

"Publication of sensational stories by the San Francisco papers stamps them as faise.' This significant statement was recently made in Portland, Ore, by a resident of San Francisco whom The oregonian refers to as gentleman, and who may be assumed to know what he was saying. It is a serious ref1ecuon on the newspapers of his city. but possi- bly not more severe than they deserve. And the same may be said of what are popularly known as "yellow journals in other large cities of the Union. The competition in the newspaper field there is so keen. and the desire to get first before the public with a sensation is so great that but little time or labor is de- voted to the work of ascertaining the truth or falsity of any report that may catch the space-writer's ear. He builds up a story, usually profusely illustrated, and in many cases there is not word of truth in it.
 This is not creditabie to journalism, but the papers sell, and that is the main object with this class of newspapers. In the old days when the character, rtputa- tion, circulation and influence Of news paper was wholly dependent on the relia- bility of It's statements. especially in local and personal matters, the papers were very dull and commonplace compared to what they are now, but they were rtl;a- ble. The public has gotten away from that in the large cities and the people want something sensational and start ling. They buy the papers and read the stories. and the more lurid and un- reasonable they are the more they are enjoyed. If they find that story which they have read with greedy avidity Is wholly without foundation they laugh at the ease with which they were taken in and then buy the paper again. It may not be creditable to the profession to say so, but we suspect that the San Fran cisco man was not far wrong.

The difference between good political sense and political assininity was plain ly exhibited by the Democratic conven- tions of Pennsylvania and Minnesota. The former had not word to say about national issues while the latter rang in an endorsement of the principles of the Kansas City platform.
