At Port Arthur the Chinese were pro
tcctcd by the strongest defenccs III the
country, they were behind formidable ram
parts and Krupp guns. If the report in all
RESPECTS be true they had sufficient food to
hold out. There was some desperate re
sistancc but it was that of rats driven to-
corner. BY this victory the japanese
stand before the world as the conqucrors
of China, able to dictate any reasonable
terms and none to say them nay. They
have acquired supremacy i'll the yellow
SEA. They have demonstrated their mari
time abilities and placed themselves be
fore the world as progressive, patriotic and
Dowcrful nation. There seems to be no
reason why they may not push forward
with comparatively no opposition and cap
turc Picking, that is, if the Chinese are not
wise enough to make every effort to end
the one sided conflict. Unless the war is
brought to Il speedy termination there
are good reasons for believing that a new
dynasty will come to the throne of China.
What Japan may desire in this respect
will have great hearing on the result IT
they wish to push the war until the end
shall be the overthrow of the present
dynasty, it is now impossible to see how
they can be prevented from carrying their
desire into execution. There are grounds
for believing that trcacherv rs well as
corruption has facilitated japan S wonder
full victories. But it is to be hoped that
the Chinese empire will not be dismcm-
bcrcd for division among foreign countries
ana he ruled as dependencies. This might
be better than China of the future as
China of the past, Scorning everything
modern and foreign, and cnshrouded in
the darkness of the dcnscst ignorance,
barbarism and pcrvcrsity. Yet it isn't
probable that ACKNOWLEDGMENT and divi-
sion can bc effected without a great
European war among the countries, that
would be resolved upon having the lion 5
share in event of division of China. Now
that the lightning has made rift in the
clouds which hang over the Celestial king
dom, now that they have been shown the
necessity of conforming to modern civil
zation there is hope that the war may
prove 4 blessing rather than otherwise.
japan flushed with her triumph will do
well to demand only that which she
claimed as grounds for undertaking the
war She has humbled China, has ac-
ouircd maritime dominion in the Orient,
has demonstrated to the world her cligi-
bility to be rcckoncd as sister nation,
she has commanded the admiration of
all peoples, for her prowess, intelligence
and patri0tism. she should and probably
will have if the war is now ended no one
to interfere with her dominion over
Corea. Indeed it appears ut this distance
from the scene that immediate peace is
the thing most to be desired by Japan as
we'll as China.

The postal system of this country is fire.
quently pointed out as an illustration OF
what could be done with the railroads If
the government owned and managed
them. The analogy is not, however, one
favorable to the arguments of those who
would have the government Immediately
enter upon railroad ownership and man
ageInent A careful inspection OF the
needs Of the postal service and the made
quacy of present methods to satisfy those
demands will cause some at least to hest
tate about putting the railroads In the
hands of the government until a more
business like administration of the postal
system can be had. The use Of pneumatic
tubes in delivering mail in large city
has been demonstrated to be practical
and absolutely necessary from business
standpoint, yet Congress, and no one Is
surprised at the fact, has not seen fit to
appropriate money for this purpose 1t
is estimated that in Boston, for instance,
where IL requires nearly iiS lohS W uciiNoi
a letter to its local destination as it does
to bring it from New York, the pneuma-
tic tubes could be put in for 81, 600, 600,
whereas now the cost of inadequate delly-
cry teams is as much as would be the IN
tercst on the 81, 900, 900. There is little
reason to doubt that, under private man
agcmcnt Boston would have pneumatic
delivery of letters from a central office
to outlying districts Until there Is
greater promptness in adopting such pro
grcssiye, business like methods in connec-
ton with our postal system the rcformer
who advocates government ownership OF
railroads will do well to restrain his inn
patience.

Tom Watson VS.. Congressman Black.

James c. Black who is alleged to have
been elected to Congress from the tenth
Georgia district as the opponent of the
Populist candidate, Tom Watson, is r-
cciying what seems to us to be a consider
able amount of unmeritcd praise for pro-
posing to answer charges of fraud by re
signing his seat in the House and trying
his case before the people of his state in
a second election Mr.. Watson was n
somewhat remarkable figure in the fifty
second Congress. He was elected TO this
body as q Democrat, but signifed his adj
vent at the national capital by refusing
to act with that party and becoming the
Populist candidate for the speakership.
During the session he sprang into national
notoriety at one bound by making spirited
and scathing attack upon the boozers of
the National House--of whom there is rea-
son to believe there Were good number
