ALTERED PROSPECTS

Probably never in the history of the
country have the prospects of political
party suffered such complete slump in
such short time as those of the Repub-
llcan party since the last election. Less
than year ago the average Republican
would have felt justified in figuring on
the distinguished Republicans who would
gather around the cabinet table of the
next president. To many not Republi-
cans 1t did not seem so much question
of the election of the Republican piesi-
Dental and congressional tickets as it did
one of majorities. But things have
changed about the place. since then, and
heavy doubt weighs down the Republi-
can heart. while the rising tide of public
confidence buoys up the hopes of the
Democratic hosts. The running of indus.
trial establishments in the east overtime
the general and repeated advances in
wages, the rising OF stocks and bonds and
the renewed courage of capital are not in
accord with the dire and unqualified
prophecies of widespread disaster that
was to sweep the country like cyclone
from the state of ingalls, and PETER, as
the natural result of Democratic legisla-
tion. AS medium Of prophecy the Re-
publican party is loud and lujicrous
failure. 1t was Republicansm that led
the people into the wilderness of indus
trial destruction and financial bank
yuptcy; it is Democracy that is leading
them out into the promised land Of in
dustrial prosperity and financial security.
= The following from the New York Post
very pertinently sizes up the situation:
'.The friends of revenue reform nav
well congratulate themselves that the test
OF their doctrine was made at the time
selected. 1t is proved now that the bust
ness of the country can recover from
panic to normal conditions under the first
few months operation of tariff bill
drawn on the lines of free trade. Just as
the business of the country recovered
from the panic of 1873, when no tariff
legislation entered into the stuat ion.
It will be recalled. too, that the war tariff
in operation in 1873 availed not jot to
wafd off the panic of that year, although
the leading financial houses of this city
had united in card in the presidential
campaign OF the year before, declaring
that the success of the Republican party
was essential to continued business pros
perity. That the Republicans appreciate
tho object lessons of the day. is proved by
the small part which demands for Nc
Kinley tariff play in their present delib-
erations. They know the difficulty of
attempting to prove that the prosperity
pends on a complex application of duties
aimed to keep out foreign products. Then

SUNDAY. JUNE 80, 1903.
RUssIA's HUNGER FOR CoREA

According to the dispatch hes the Japan
ese consul-general at New York. who prob
ably very accurately represents the senti-
ments of his countrymen. takes q decid-
edly optimistic view of Japan's relations
with Russia. A few days since an inti-
nation came over the wires that war
between Russia and Japan over Corea is
almost certain inside of three months.
The consul-general. however. considers
hostilties between the two countries i'm
probable because, as he asserts, "Japan
will not be bullied.' but will 'insist on
her rights if Russia attempts to interfere
with Coren." The official also seems con-
fident of his country's physical ability to
sustain heI contentious against the pow er
OF the white czar. There is little doubt
of the miKado's government insisting
boldly on the latter rights, but the max
ing Of that lnsistence effective, is quite an
other matter. The presumption OF the
Japanese that they can cope successfully
with Russia arises very much from the
same thing that has frequently deluded
some South American countries into the
idea that they could trounce Uncle Sam
ignorance of the power they would havs
to oppose. Aside from this failure to sp-
preciate the magnitude OF Russia, Japan,
while flushed with her recent victories
over the cowardly, unorganized and
spiritless Chinese, Is not in the frame of
mind to weigh calmly and intelligently
the probabilities of another contest.
some time before the conclusion of the
late war The Herald predicted that the
outcome then so apparent would lead to
complications between Russia and Japan
about Corea. The realization of the
prophecy appears to be assuming shape
already. Russia has long sought ex-
tension of her Asiatic possessions SO 1th-
ward to India and on the Pacific. Afghan
istan. controlled by the British, has
checked her march to India, and latterly
her efforts have been directed to acquir-
ing more favorable situation on the Pa
cifc ocean. Corea offers just the stra-
teglc position, both in a military and
commercial sense that she desires, in ad-
dition to being a valuable acquisition be-
cause OF its resources. 1t may turn out
that Japan has picked the Corean plum
for Russian consumption. A very slight
pretext could be utilized to precipitate a
war which would result quite speedily in
the annexation of Corea by Russia unless
England, alarmed by the prospect of a
disturbed balance of power in Eastern
Asia, should vigorously intercede. The
latter England would most likely do. In
this event the immemorial antagonis m
between herself and Russia would find
another excellent opportunity for express
sion, with Corea as the subject of contro.

We wonder if the superior court of Los
Angeles county considers the grand jury
an effete or worn out institution. The
law provides for the empaneling of grand
jury every year, and we have had one
hitherto annually, but threaten not to
have any this year. The last grand jury
for this county completed its Iabors and
adjourned in the spring of 1894. The
jury of 1895 is long time overdue. San
Francisco and Sacramento counties have
found ample and interesting work for
grand juries, and it is barely possible
that this county might do the same, if 1t

omy, fidelity and efficiency with which

The public school census of Los Angeles
for the year ending June 30. 1895, shows
an increase in school attendance of 1000
in round numbers. This number is in
dicative of an addition OF about 1900 fam
lilies to the city, accepting the usual ratio
OF children to the family as basis for
calculation. 1t is generally considered
that there are about five persons to the
family. which would mean an increase
of the population Of this city of about
$500 for the year. In drawing conclu-
sions as to the increase of population from
the school census, 1t must be borne in
mind that the insufficient public school
acco mmodations prevented the attend.
ance of a large number of children, and
that several hundred young people at
tend private and parochial educational
esta blish ments. Hence the census of
public school attendance falls far short of
ind icating fully the city's additions to
its population. But if the enlargement
were no greater than to be inferred from
the census figures. it would still be per-
centage OF increase not equaled by any
other city in the union, unless we ex-
cept some place in the throes of a wild
speculative boom.

and the orthodox hell that Bob Ingersoll

divine who thus dares to fly in the face
of teachings grown wrinkled with age is
Rev. Frank E. Mason of the First Church
of Christ OF the city made famous by its
churches. In response to the. question
''Is there hell?' he SAID:
Eyes. if you can make one. There is
no local hell, He'll and heaven are con-
ditions of mind, not locations. He'll is
the abridgement of power. 1t is the
sbrivelIpg IF the mind. Man carries his
own birthstone in the pocket of his
thought. 1t is set on fire by the friction
of negative ideas. The pessimist relegates
his heaven to futurlty. The optimist en-
joys it on earth. The one who is con-
tinually singing. Earth is desert drear,
heaven is my home lives IN perpetual
hell. He is suffering from ecclesiastical
