Mrs. Mary E. Lease, although an ardent
ad, ocate of woman suffrage, appears to be
determined to relieve the question of all
poetic sentiment. In recent address she
made use of the following language: CAN
this talk that women will improve the pol
itics of the state is foolishness. We are no
better and no worse than men. Women
will call each other liars on the platform
just like men. They will ride on passes
Just like men. You will find the worse
set of cat-scratching cut-throats among
women that you can find anywhere" 1t
would certainly seem advisable to muzzle
Mrs. Lease, if the cause she pretends to ad-
vocate is to be crowned with success.

The Body Needs Water.

Some one has asked, what would be
the cause of death of person who drank
no water?" A medical journal replies that
this subject has been studied considerably,
and animals have been experimental upon,
and it is found that without water they
lose their power to eliminate the natural
poisons They must have water in order
to eliminate them; otherwise the secre-
lions become too dense. Without water
tho amount Of urea which should be Sc
creted becomes diminished, and SO with
the other secretions. We need water not
only to dissolve the food and carry 1t along,
but we need it to dissolve and carry out of
the system the poisonous and the wornout
material Of tho body after 1t has served
its purpose. Water forms circulating
medium for carrying substances back and
forth in the system, conveying nourish-
ment to the various parts of the body and
bringing back the used up material and
carrying it out by way of the excretory
ducts.

Russia and Corea.

Russia, says the New York Tribune, will
not consent to the annexs alton of Corea by
Japan or any other power. So semi
official oracles at St. Petersburg are peri
odically informing the world. They neglect
to add the slightest specification of Russia's
right to NEEDLE in the matter, which, in
deed, they would find most difficult to DO.
Nor do they add what all men know to be
the fact, that Russia would object to such
disposition of Corea by any other power
solely for the reason that she wants to seize
upon it herself; and wants to do so very
soon. A railroad is now being built across
Siberia, from the Urals and the Caspian to
the Pacific, and work is being pushed upon it
with all possible speed. Its cost will be enor-
nous, but still greater will be the benefits
derived from it. 1t will open up to profit
able development the vast regions of South
ern Siberia, some of the richest in all Asia.
But, more important still, it will give
Russia commanding place among Euro
pesn powers in the Pacific. Englands road
to the east by way of the Suez Canal will
be slow coach affair, by the side of the
Siberian steel highway. The latter will be
not only far more speedy; it will be incom-
parably more secure from hostile attack. In
time of war it will need no protection other
than that which nature affords, and in time
of peace it ought to supercede all other
traffic routes between China, japan. For
mosa, and even regions further south, and
Europe.
The one essential thing yet lacking is an
adequate harbor at the Pacific terminal.
Vladivostok, the present terminal, will
not do, because for more than half the y ar
it is frozen up and navigation is suspended.
Yet it is the best in Russia's present pos
sessions. Therefore it is that the covetous
eyes of the Bear are fixed upon Cores, which
is contiguous with Siberia, and which has,
at Gensan, Port Lszaref Fusan, Chemulpo,
Whapg-Ju and elsewhere fine harbors &C.
cessible at all seasons. Just as Russia
wants Constantinople in order to make the
Black sea Russian lake and gain undis-
putable access therefrom to the Mediter-
ranean, so che wants Cores, in order TO es-
tablish her dominance on the P, cific coast
of Asia. And therefore it is that she
keeps repeating, with inc'easing men
ace, that Japan must not annex Corea, and
that no other power must do so; the object
of which is partly to warn Japan, still more
to affect the general course of the war, and
most of all to create, through the simple
force of arrogant iteration, an impression
that she has some rights in Corea and some
business to act as the guardian and protector
of that nation.
Applied to Japan, however, Russias warn
ing is both impertinent and useless. For
If any power has any claim upon Cores
or any right to annex it or to interfere
In its affairs, it is Japan. OF that
there can be no doubt. All the
history of the two peoples, who are of one

race, and all the social, commercial and
political relations between them, demon
strate it. But Japan has no idea of effec-
ting such annexation. From the beginning
she has explicitly, emphatically and repeat
edly disclsimed it. Her attitude toward
Corea has constantly been that of one
power toward another equally independent
power. Her recently made treaty of ALI
ance with Corea is treaty between equals.
And, indeed. she has entered upon
this war very largely 70, the pur-
pose of establishing Corea's indepen-
dence, and of maintaining it against China's
claim of suzerainty; much as France aided
US in our struggle for independence. Il is
Chins, and China alone, that has denied
Corea's independence and tried to make
her vassal and to prevent her growth !;
and if Russias warning against annexation
were disinterested and Intended for the
good of Corea, it would be addressed to
China and not to japan. The JAZZ
anese, moreover, doubtless realize that
apart from the justice of the case,
it would be positive disadvan-
tage to them, and a source of weak
ness, to annex Co.ea; just as the possession
of the Angevin domain was disadvantage
to England. They need to devote their at
tention to the development and culture Of
their own compact island Empire, rather
than to fritter away their strength in doubt
full foreign conquests. An Independent
Corea. freed from Chinese stolidity and
corruption and inspired with Japanese ideas
of freedom and progress-that is the best
for Corea, for japan, and for all the East.

According to the census the United
States produced Az, 100000 dozens of eggs
in 1873, and $1,000, 900 dozens in 1899
These figures are under the mark, but, at
the figures given the annual egg product
of the United States amounts to S100,000,-
600. If to this be added the value of the
poultry sold we shall obtain a pretty high
figure for the annual output of the de-
partment. One authority has placed it at
$500, co., 900. In 1893 the entire wheat crop
of the United States amounted to 1916, 900 :
600 bushels, worth less than $500, 900 90.

A Tariff on Lumber.

Mr.. Remmel, in his speeches,
illustrates Republican policy very
thoroughly. That party favors
protection to various interests,
particularly those in which the
leaders have made investments.
Mr.. Remmel is a lumber manu-
facturer. therefore he wants a
tariff of So per 1000 feet placed
upon that article of commerce.
OF course this 50 would come ont
of the pocket of every consumer,
while it would add nothing to the
revenues of the government, so
far as the production of lumber in
Arkansas is concerned. This
increase in tariff duties would be
very beneficial to Mr.. Remmel and
a few of his class who are in
politics for all the favors they can
secure to themselves, but the
home-builders all over the land
would suffer to the extent of the
increase. The tariff on lumber
was neverlevied in the interest OF
Southern manufacturers, but only
to protect the great lumber states
that adjoin the Canadian border
By putting on heavy tariff duty
imports of foreign lumber has
been virtually prohibited and
Maine and other states have been
enabled to dispose of their pro-
duct at a profit. Southern lumber
always suffered from heavy and
discriminating freight rates. II
would be better for Mr.. Remme
to advocate cheaper freight rates
and less protection.-L. r. Press
