A dozen battles does not win a
war and a dozen wars does not
conquer a world. Japan will find
this out later, and it is to be hoped
will in measure begin to appreci-
ate the past experience of those
nations she is pleased to call effete.
We publish below the latest ex-
position Of japanese egotism
annotated by the Count Okuma who
attempts to give the secret of
Japan's attitude and motive in the
present war. Count Okuma says:
The Government has been reluctant
ly forced into this war, and as foreign
certain to hear of their proposed arbi-
tration as soon as our armies are victo-
rious at Peong yam. The authorities
may then think they have achieved
sufficient distinction by accomplishing
treaty revision and the independence
of Korea; but what the people wish
for is to see Japan become one of the
influential powers of the world.
THE European Powers are already
showing symptoms OF decay, and the
next century will see their constitutions
shattered and their empires in ruins.
Even if this should not quite happen,
their resources will have become eX-
hausted in unsuccessful attempts at col
onization. Therefore, who is fit to be
their proper successors ii not ourselves?
What nation except Germany, France,
Russia, Austria and Italy can put 200
900 men into the field inside a month";
As to their finances there is no country
where the disposal of surplus revenue
give rise to so much political discussion.
As to intellectual power the japanese
mind is in every way equal to
the European mind. More than this,
have not the Japanese opened a way to
the perfection of discovery in which
foreigners have not succeeded even after
years of labor? Our people astonish even
the French, who are the most skllful
among artizans, by the cleverness of
their work.
at ia true the Japanese are small of

wear, talk of becoming the success
sors Of European and American
civilization, even while their first
victory over a neighboring semi
civilized nation was gained on

NIastodon Bones Found.

TOPEKA, Feb. 2.-The people of Frankfort, Marshall county, are greatly excited over the discovery of masto- don's tooth dug up in the streets of that town. The great tusk measured IA inches in lenght. inches in width and 6 inches from the grinding surface to the end of the remaining portion of the fangs. The bone portion of the tooth is petrifed but the enamel is just as bright and perfect as it ever was. Itis an interesting specimen and people have travelled many miles to look at it. Parties have been digging for other ev- idences of q former mastodon and have been rewardel with rich finds. They unearthed several monster bones, showing that mastodon of great pro- portions died there many years ago.

Moore had got possession of a heavy slungshot. made of the head of a heavy wren.h wrapped i'll an old stock ing, and while the jailer was unlocking a door struck him blow on top of the head that would doubtless have been fatal but for the fact that lie wore d heavy cap with q big button on top. Moore and his pals at once got the keys and went into the barnyarl to get hcrses and make fer the Indian reser- yation but Stoll regained his presence of mind and at Gace got his Winches- ter and boldly went for the fugitives. though hs knew they were armed and desperate and though blood wass flow ing over his face in streams. As soon as he appeared in sight Moore fired at him with 6shooter three times, but without effect Stoll replied with three shots from his rife, and they all took effect The firing lrought the sheriff and others to tie scene, and posse went in pursuit of Vestal and Wilson. They were soon captured and surren- dered without show of resistance. Moore is sail 10 be 8 refugee from Texas. Tire plucky jailer will be all right in a fe=s days.
