fight. by 3 o'clock In the afternoon The
right division was In inll possession OF
the western part OF the stronghold.
Meanwhile the left division had been
fsrceiy engaged in the southeast,
where the ground was lees difficult but
far from easy. Advancing over the
hills the first division had to clear the
enemy out Of some outlying work. ap-
parently of recent construction. Then
their progress was temporarily
checked by very heavy FIRE from three
forts that were connected BY trenches.
These forts were strongly held, and were
well placed on the highest ground in
the vicinity.
The japanese artillery and the Chi
nese guns in the forts kept up steady
fire. Tho latter were all heavy pieces
and they pounded away for some time
at the Japanese infantry, who in the
meantime were advancing all along the
line, taking skillful advantage Of the
brush wood and other cover. The final
assault was splendidly delivered, the
enemy being driven headlong from the
works after making gallant atand. BY
evening Port Arthur was in possession
OF the Japanese, but the enemy still
held come eight or ten redoubts with a
total Of about twenty guns on the coast
line. The Japanese bivoucked on the
hills and captured the forts.
THE CHINESE LOSS.
Early Thursday morning Laoamu and
the other forts were attacked in sue
cession, all being captured without Sc.
rious loss on the Japanese side. It is
estimated that the Chinese loss was over
1000 killed and wounded. Several
thousand were taken prisoners. The
Japanese have taken quito eighty gums
and mortars that were in use in the
captured forts aud redoubts, and many
others that were found in the dock
yard. They have also captured an i'm
mense quantity Of ammunition. com.

large quantities of rice and heans.

I2th Cong. District,
HON. GEO. III. NOONAN
Election, Tuesday, Nov. 6, 81.
DIVORCE THE PARTIES.

There is an ever growing i'm
preston in the minds of thought
full men that too much of our life
has become involved with the po-
litical partisanship of the day. 1t
falls with its shadow upon all our
municipal existence and even our
educational work is not free from
the cloud. The universal testi-
mony of the educational authori-
ties of the country is in favor of an
absolute enforcement of all school
supervision from any connection,
the remotest, with political schools
or creeds or parties. The educa-
tional work OF the state is a pecu-
liar work, and must work accord.
ing to the lines upon which it is
naturally and healthy projected or
it will not work out its best re-
suits. AS in the public school
room all grades and classes of
mind and condition are assembled,
so in the manning of the machin.
cry Of the school directory all these
grades and conditions must be
considered. The work of the school
is as purely nonpolitical as
it is nonsectarian, and should
have as little to do with pol
itics on the one hand as
with denominations religion
on the other. The claim that a
man should be elected to place
on the educational board of city
because he is Republican or a
Democrat, is as far out of place as
to so insist because he is a Metho.
dist or Presbyterian. In all po-
litical contests there is venom and
a personality apparent that works
disagreement. TIE essential spirit
OF political election is spirit OF
contention for place, and such a
spirit is essentially out of place
in any election for the directors Of
the educational work of any com.
munity. San Antonio may have
suffered or not suffered from the
union Of her educational direction
with the municipal government o.
the city, but is is time that the de
cree of divorce was passed. There
is nothing that the members o
the city council would gain il
continuing the direction of thu
schools within the council cham
Der, but they would be relieved O
a very responsible work that
not in line with municipal bust
ness and enquiry If the divorce dt
cree issued. The school wor

1t is matter of congratulation
that the recent Democratic Con-
gress was so generally inoculated
with the saving graces of high
protective tariff. 1t was generally
drawn from the Senate's stores of
matter, but the House had to take
it in when the Senate doctors in
sisted on their remedy.

Between starvation and low
wages a single man may easily
take the former and trust it to luck,
but if wife and babies are crying
for bread most any man will take
what he can get, albeit his senee of
right is outraged all the time and
he knows that gadgrind has him
foul and treats him foul. 1t is
hardly according to Hoyle to cuss
a man for doing this, even if it re-
tards the winning of a strike.

The low amount of bond required
in many instances in Mexico, to
insure the government against
official dishonesty, has been Sc
verely animadverted upon by the
press of that country again and
again. The recent defalcation in
the postoffice in the City of Mexico,
has revived criticism on this mat
ter and a pressure is being made
on the authorities to raise the
bonds of important office holders
until they give some approximate
security to the national govern
ment whose funds they handle.

Now that the National Democ-

Unanimity OF Juries.

Congressman Bryan Is an active reform
or. He has introduced bill to allow
verdicts by three fourths jury vote in
civil cases before Federal Courts. An
inconsistency of our litigation is that
men are willing to submit disputes in
volyirg millions to arbitrators, who de-
eide by ma jorities, and Courts habit
ually encourage the reference of import
ant property differences to the same
mode OF decision, while ioury laws in all
but two or three States stick to the old
rule OF a unanimous vote of IL men. Prob
ably in the long run fair avarage of
justice is secured under the old custom
OF requiring unanimity, but there is not
practicing lawyer in the country who
cannot tell stories OF laughable misear-
riages. One fool on jury-and it is a
good jury that has only one-wiIl force
q verdict which is not law, rhyme or
reason. Mr. Bryan's bill viii hardly pass.
The fact that nobody questions its merits
does not help it much. Juries are not
issues before the people OF any district
and Congressman will not take the trouble
TO carry through measure which has
no body of voters and no oprivate interest
behind il.
