THE NEW YORK DEMOCRACY

The Philadelphia Times says that
the better class of democrats Of
New York are doing their utmost to
save the party from complete de-
moralization, and as means are
trying to free it from the various
hall organizations, They will find
they have undertaken no easy job.
Tammany will not let go and Irving
is determined to hold fast. The
World does not seem to have a very
exalted opinion Of either of the
present factions, nor does it feel
very horeful of success under the
new movement. In recent issue
it says:
"One, thing comes clearly t. the sur.

RUSSIA seems to be having {
hard time Of it in her campaign
against the Turcomans. So far az
fighting is concerned the campaign
is great success, for there is fight

The trouble is that the fights do moi
end in the right way. Generally.
at the end Of each battle, it is not
the Russians but the Turcomans
who are on top. The Gar doubt.
less would call off his forces if il
were possible, and give UP a game
that is so hard to win. But this be
can not do. Withdrawal from the
country Of the Turcomans would
involve far greater loss than the
region in which hostilities are SO
unfortunately progressing-the loss
Of dominating power in Central
Asia; the loss of an opportunity to
strike at England, when the time
comes. through her Indian empire.
It is therefore q political, as well as
a military necessity, that keeps
Russia battling with these tough
and stubborn Asiatics. Armed con-
tlict is universally recognized as
the soul Of military operations, and
as such is relished by all genuine
soldiers. Yet conflict must end in
victory to be wholly satisfactory.
Thus far, in the Turcoman cam>
paign, victory is something that the
Russians have rarely recognized.
Things have usually gone the other
way. This campaign might reason
ably be regarded as campaign of
the Turcomans against the Russians
instead Of Russians against the
Turcomans.
