There Is, however, another matter, II
diculous as 1t may appear to those who
have not studied the topography of the
country and its adjacent territory, why
Holland feels secure as to its continued
independence. Not far from Utrecht
there is a strip Of land that either belig-
erent must cross In order to invade the
enemy's country. That strip Of land Is
sufficiently broad and long for the pas
sage of many corps d'armee should either
the Germans or French violate Hollands
neutrality. This entire strip can be put
under water Sin less than no time"
drowning the invading armies, with m
pie safety to the inland retreating Dutch
forces.
1t will be remembered that while Bel
GUM was used t. territory for "intern-
ing" French soll:prs, making this entire
kingdom virtually a shelter for all those
thrown hors de combat, Holland was not
even scratched by the foot of a single
foreign soldier during the Franco-Ger-
man war. The little country was on the
alert ever and anon. She had her army
of 10000 men OF a var footing, but with
n hand on the sword, the other on the
~sluices, she stood ready to fight with
water any n daring to violate the
merest inch of her territory. The expe-
rience then gained has been improved
upon since, and during the past eighteen
years the bikes and duinen have been SO
improved for the purposes of defense
against sea and foe that the Hollanders
of our day can a effectually make use of
the water as an arm Of defense as did
their forefathers over 200 years ago
against the then powerful Spain.-The
Hague Cor. New York Herald.

Why carry subserviency to the very

Publishers, Statement.

In view of the following and unsolicited
testimony from well known publishers, it
requires no special appeal from us to our
readers to demonstrate the worth and
work of Humphreys Homeopathic Speci-
fcs in the family:
Publishers C~anandaigua, N. Y, Jour-
nal: The smallest case in an average
sized family, when intelligently used,
must ave a large bill from the regular
physician. Clinton, Wis Herald: We
find these remedies very useful and rec
ommend them to our friends. Manhat-
tan, Kas., Telephone: Have used two
OF these cases of Specifies with excellent
effect and desire another. Niagara
Falls, N. Y, Courier: Our senior has
used your Specifics to such good purpose
that we desire a full line. Toms River,
N. j., Democrat: The case received from
you a year ago is exhausted. Please send
another. Waupaca, Wis Republican:
Our wife is a homeopathic physician and
desires another case. New Holland, Pa,
Clarion: There are nany families in this
vicinity using your remedies with wonder
full results. We need another case.
Council Bluffs, Ia, Herald: A case of
these Specifics is indispensable in the
family. Send US .wo......A perusal of the
above proves that there is no use in argu-
ing the question of the potency of
Humphreys Specifics for especial service
in the family. They do all that they
promise if judiciously used. -Erchange,

4 SIGNIFICANT RESULT.

The most significant event of the cam
paign, says the Chicago Times, is the
charter election Of Newark, n. j., which
occurred last Tuesday. Newark. as is
well known, is almost distiDctiyely a man
u~facturing city. 1t lies as near New
York City as Pullman lies near Chicago.
Some thirty thousand hands are employed
in its fourteen hundred manufacturing es-
Establishments. Its local election occurring
Just four weeks in advance of the presi=
Dental election, the result is always looked
for as indicative of the popular trend in
the state, at least as to maiorities. In.
variably this election is holly contested,
and in every presidential year since 1872
it has given large Republican maiorities.
Hayes carried Newark, Garfield carried
Newark, Blaine carried Newark, and in
the charter election preceding the Repub
licans were successful by large
maiorities. No doubt was entertained
upon the part of the Republican man
ayers that Newark would be carried; thev
contended that the tariff issue would of
itself cause that result, but they neglected
no effort. The canvass was made with
the utmost vigor. The Republicans con-
sidered that a new election law similar to
that in New York, which was the founda-
ton of the Chicago law, would operate in
their behalf. On Saturday last the ope-
ratives in nearly all the factories received
their pay in envelopes provided by the
Republican national committee printed in
bold letters, Free Trade Means Pauper
Wages or No Work" "a Question of
Wages and Bread" The campaign ora
tors concentrated in Newark contributed
their utmost to the free trade scare and
considered that they were working on i'm
pressible minds.
The result was that the city which gave
Blaine a majority of 1900 elected the
Democratic city ticket by majorities aver
aging 600.
The Newark election does more than
conim the opinion that as usual of late
years Jersey will be Democratic. 1t
points to the fact that ~workingmen, whom
the Republicans relied upon to carry the
election for them, and whose aid it asked
on the ground that high taxation by
means OF the tariff law for their benefit
to the end that they might have high
wages, are reaching the conclusion that a
reduction of federal taxation will help
rather than harm them. A test was made
in Newark and the workingmen's words
pronounced with singular emphasis in
favor Of the Mills bill.

Police Surveillance i'm Russia

The only shade of discomfort which an
American may meet in travelling in Rus
sia comes from their system Of espionage,
and that is more In imagination than
reality. Probably no country in Europe
has such a thorough system Of police sur
veillance.
AS loon as you reach their border your
passport is given up and registered.
When you arrive at your hotel you give
it up again and it is at once sent to police
headquarters, and you are again regis
tered. Whenever you change your loca-
ton you do the same thing, and in this
way the landlord everywhere is made
responsible to the government for the
foreigners under his roof. Then, when
you wish to leave the country, you
must again send your passport
to the police office and obtain
a permit, which is good for only
three days, and which is attached to your
passport and removed at the last Russian
station on the Austrian or German from
tier. 80 that your passport contains a
complete record of when and where YOU
entered he country, just where you have
been and how long you have remained.
Yet with all this you have no conscious
ness of being watched, and you probably
are not, when the authorities are once
satisfied as regards your nationality and
good character. And after all the plots
that have been formed against the gov
eminent in foreign countries, is it any
wonder that they should consider these
precautions necessary?-Henry M. Wright
in Detroit Free Press.

ONE of the Sun staff, accompanied by
Billy Lykins, the Republican candidate
for sheriff, made a house to house vista
ton on the south side yesterday. The
young Eddy street employee first explained
that a copy of the San would be left free
at each house from now until the day of
election, ana wound up his unsolicited
but generous offer by introducing Nj.
Lykins. The south side people are noted
for their patience and endurance, but the
g~ratuitous campaign edition of the Eddy
street organ is a calamity under which
even they may succumb.

The Eddy street foundry organ says
THE LEADER has resurrected the very
ancient chestnut Of rotation in office.
Whenever we snatch anything from such
a source as the Sun we must perforce
plead guilty to s%pringing on the public
something which is already mildewed with
age. As tie practical man Of affairs does
not waste time in the useless effort to
extract sunbeams from cucumbers, neither
does he tire out his own patience by seek
ing to discover anything strikingly new or
original in the columns of our morning
contemporary. When Mr.. Jeffrey sought
his fourth nomination four years ago the
San said: There is no good reason why
one or two men should hold all the lucrat-
i've Offices in the county for an indefinite
number of years" When Judge Berg
man seeks and obtains a fifth nomination,
much against the will of a respectable
minority in his party, the same paper
cheerfully swallows its own words and
tells the public that it finds great delight
in doing so, This is what we call carry
ing seryility to a nauseous limit.

FAILS TO MATERLALIZE.

The Sun in its issue of last Thursday
contained these words: we are sure
neither of these gentlemen Mr.. Organ or
Judge Carey] endorse the sentiment of
the soiourner from Kansas when in a
great passion he exclaimed: If l cannot
break down the stockmen, 1 pray Provi-
dence may send billiards. to sweep their
flocks and herds from the plains"
THE LEADER of last Sunday morning
contained the following challenge:
PRODUCE THE PROOFS.
In the Sun OF last Wednesday morning
it was charged directly that the '~'sojourner
from Kansas meaning Governor
Thomas Moonlight, said: IF l cannot
break down the stockmen, | pray Provi-
dence may send billiards. to sweep their
focks and herds from the plains" This
paper IN its issue of last Friday said the
charge was false, using this language: ut
1.-THE Sun simply utters a slanderous false
hood, and 1t is perfectly aware it is doing
So"
Two days have elapsed and the pro-
found silence maintained by the Sun
shows that The LEADERS charge is true.
We fully appreciate that the utterance
of a base and slanderous falsehood by such
a persistent engine of personal detractio1
as the Sun is unworthy of notice. Nc
attention would have been paid to it il
this instance were it not for the fact thai
certain political ~incendiaries are spreading
ttor political effect in the congressional.
campaign this falsehood which was man,
utactured out of whole cloth in the Sun
office.
We therefore renew, on the direct au-
thority Of Governor Moonlight, the state.
ment that the charge of the Sun is a
slanderous falsehood; that he never by
word of mouth or stroke OF pen gave
u%tterance to that or any such kindred SEN
timent and defes the production OF proof
to the contrary.
Now let the Sun come to the front
with its proof, or stand before this com
munity self convicted of deliberate SANDER
and falsehood.
In its issue of yesterday the Sun
~manfullyl toes the mark and meets the
challenge in the following beautifully def
mite language:
The LEADER pretends to want proof of
the remark attributed to the soiourner
from Kansas ard is apparently much ex-
ercised over its publication. If our
morning contemporary is laboring under
the delusion hat the Sun cannot substan.
tate its statements it is a great man
thousand miles off. The remark, like a
great many of the outrageous expressions
which the same party has used towards
our cattle growers, was made in the pres.
ence OF a man who did not reside in Chey
enne and who possessed no cattle. We
consider our authority for the statement
as thoroughly reliable.
This is only a sample of the way in
which the Sun is in the habit of conduct
ing a campaign. 1t is quick and reckless
in assertion, but painfully slow in the
production of proof.
