viii Take Half MillIon Dollars More

Washington. May 17.-According to
the war department It may take q half
million dollars or more to defray the
cost OF raising the wreck Of the
Maine in Havana harbor. A bill ap-
propriating 100000 for this purpose
already has passed congress and been
approed by the president. Secretary
OF War Dickinson, however, today
called the attention Of the house to
letter to him, dated last Saturday
from Chief Engineer MARSHALL Of the
army, saying the work could not be
done for the 100000, nor can the
amount be economically and effective
~ expended in initial work. General
Marshall said the best plan would be
to build Golfer dam around the
wreck and pump It out, thus permit

out authority.
THE press everywhere, in England
and in America, even in Germany and
france, where the personal equation
still sets the pace, has deteriorated
IN weight, whilst celebrating IT'S
methods and augmenting its enter
prises. The old order Of personal
journalism, with its ideas of individ-
ual accountability, often mere ego
tfsm and vanity, has passed away. The
new order Of impersonal journalism
with It's ideas of commercial honor
and of public obligation, has not quite
adjusted itself to its enlarged habi-
tation and richer apparel.
Eve hear a deal about yellow
journalism. It is much like the pot
calling the kettle black. Offenses
against decency are more or less
relative and qualified. The scandal
monger will in time be relegated to
the category Of the unprosperous as
we'll as the ddsreputabVe, and the
detective driven out of the newspa-
per service, to the company of police,
where he along belongs. We can as
little expect that each newspaper
worker shall be a gentleman as that
each lawyer and each doctor shall be
a gentleman; but manly conduct and
aspiration should fix the rule, the bru-
tai and vulgar the exception, the
journalistic brand no less accepted
and honorable than that of physic
divinity and Jurisprudence.
The leading editorial, whose dis
appearance is predicted and whose
decline is obvious, has suffered most
of the transition process from the
personal to the impersonal. There
was exhiliration in pistols and coffee
The duel was more interesting and
less expensive than the libel suit. The
good old times of gun play are, alas
no more. If gentleman nowadays
shoots another gentleman, they call it
murder. Most of us have to work
for a living, and some Of us even to
be trained to it. do not wonder
that the wooden nutmeg affair in big
type. which for the most part de-
faces the editorial page, as it is call
ed. having nobody behind it, and
hsither continuity of purpose, nor
the spirit of intellectual rectitude and
accountability, has failed into discred-
it.
"In a word, do not think the
newspaper should consider itself as
a public prosecutor; rather the per-
sonal representative, faiend and
neighbor of good men and women
pouring in upon the community the
sunshine of heaven, not kindling and
stirring the fires Of hell; its aim
and end, first. last and all the time
to enlighten and to brighten, to radi-
ate and to warm, not to embitter, to
browbeat and to dazzle"

gested large number of changes and
additions. one Of which provides for
the physical valuation Of railroads by
