The following is a dispatch from
Berlin under date of Feb. 18th:
Emperor William spent part of the
morning watching the Pollak Virag
telegraphy system working in the
Technical university. The apparatus
averaged $4,000 words an hour over a
300-mile circuit. The emperor sent
for the empress. the minister Of posts,
the chief Of the general staff and other
distinguished persons, and explained
TO them technically the way the appa-
ratus worked. The government will
experiment. with it between Berlin and
Kocnigsburg. a distance of 440 miles"
1t is another proof of the wonderful
progress of the age. Four thousand
words per hou is the best that can
0e done under the present system.
The Pollak Virag system is over
twelve times as rapid as our present
one. even with the Phillips code.
What does that mean?
That the work of twelve hours in
teiegraphy will be done in one, that
the work of twelve days will be done
in one. thus saving the per diem Of
the operator for eleven days.
With such increased speed in trans
mission, the price Of messages can be
immensely reduced, and such reduction
will greatly stimulate the use of tele-
graphy. Offices and service will bemul-
tiplied, merchants, business and pro-
fessional men will use the telegraph
instead of the mail and the facilities
will be immensely increased.
Should this German system in full
trial prove a success, it will work a
revolution in both the business and
social world. Think of doing a years
business in telegraphy in a single
month.
At the rate of so, 900 words an hour
enough matter can be transmitted to
fill five pages of The Optic with solid
matter and one page additional.
If prices are reduced as they may
be by this process the daily newspa
pers a enlarge the news columns of
outside news almost indefinitely. 1t
is to be hoped that the new system
NAV prove a success. and not be util-
lied only for the profit of some syndi-
cate. but for the benefit of mankind.

County Superintendent of Schools
Minor Rudolph and Sheriff Casaus
who were elected to their respective
Offices in Guadalupe county last fall,
have a good size task before them. In
county there are eight saloons
and seven gambling houses, all of
which should be the source of a on
siderable income for school purposes
in that country, but which,
is is said, through the
republican officers and the con
nivance of the district attorney, now
u member of the legislature, have thus
far contributed nothing to the school
fund. There r 24O children of
& in Tucumcari district, and
1t is likely that the new superintend-
ent of schools with the sheriff to back
him will see that the laws are enforc-
ed and licenses and taxes collected
for school purposes.

We think hat they are not. The
papers give little space to the com.

uncommon, the extraordinary. the
startling, the horrible, the bizarre and
the erotesque. Thousands of peace

names in type. but the nj of the

suicide. the prostitute and the thug
are always there. Yet it is the peace
able. humble citizen. not the thug.
that IS representatives of American
life. We warrant that there are a
great many people ii this country
who could NOT 1ell the name OF San
Francisco's mayor, vet who know all
about Nora Fuller. But were the
columns and columns written about
that unfortunate girl any reflection of
San Francisco's life? Is her case

PUBLIC SENTIMENT.

In most communities public senti-
ment is a controlling force. In a state
OF well organized society it is as eff
fective. almost. as positive law.
The law Of public opinion is sci
dom violated without the penalty OF
such violation being visited upon the
offender. a&a
Wherever there is the absence OF Il
wholesome, public sentiment. there
must be a bad state. oil morals. When
a community cares nothing, or but
little, for the moral conduct OF the
men and women who make up the
aggregation OF population, 1t rs a
strong indication b a it is time for
change in sentiment and for increas-
ed activity by these who have at
heart the public veal.
Is there a real difference between
a good man, with honest purposes.
fair dealing, upright life, and a
tricky schemer. caring for self mainly.
ready to reach desired ends by any
means, fair or foul?
If so. public sentiment should sus-
tain the one, and condemn the 9th
er.
same consideration. honor and re-
cDttts NitupbA III u titi hdp-
its, conduct and life?
III so, her there is little encourage
ment for young men TO strive for the
better and more honorable methods.
Vice viii not be tolerated among
women Why should ii among men?
Is not tbs masculine side of the
world under as much obligation TO
family. friends and society TO be
clean and of good report as the fem
mime.
The influence Of the man on all al.
fairs is greater than that CT women.
Why. then, should he not by the law
of public opinion, be required to be
upright and in respects fair, square
and moral. and cast his influence for
the right and for the publication of
mankind? In the hurry burly of life,
in The midst of its activities and the
mad scramble for property and
wealth. 1t too often occurs that the
world loses sight of the difference
between men whose influence and
daily life is for good. and those from
whom there goes out no wholesome
and elevating influence.
In many communities. however. a
distinction is made. and with such
force that men OF bad lives will not
be tolerated. AS the world progresses.
better conditions prevail. higher re
quirements are insisted upon. and in
all communities the time will come
when the good AMI the true will be
rewarded. and the lad and the false
will pass under q cloud.
1t should be so everywhere.
