The offensive and defensive alliance
clause in the Japauese-Chinese peace
treaty. knowledge OF the existence OF
which has just come out. is TO Europe
and Russia one of the most important
clauses In the instrument. II may be
that there is a menace TO Russia in it.
1t is pretty well known that the car
would like to extend his territory a bit
into Manchuria and Korea. for the pur-
pose Of securing a port for the Trans
Siberian railway. A Japanese-Chinese al
lance would probably be strong enough
in a short while to warn the Russian
Off and force him 20 keep off If he dis
obeyed the warning. Under the influence
OF Japan and Ii Hung Chang the Chi
nese might be expected to take rapid
strides in civilization and western prog
ress. The now useless soldiers would be
taught the real art Of war; and then there
would be a new and formidable power
in the east for Europe to watch and
maybe some time to contend with. Japan
evidently went into the war with a pretty
clearly defined idea of what she was
going to get out Of it. and it appears
that she will get the full measure of
both power and glory.

If an Individual were to proclaim OF

If an individual were to proclaim on
the streets that worlingmen were getting
too much wages, and that their pay ought
to be cut down by one-third or one-half,
he would probably have to dodge into
an alley and run home to avoid a shower
of rocks. That is virtually what the free
silver advocates are saying They want
to diminish the workingman's wages by
giving him money that will buy only about
half as much as the money he now re-
ceives. Every workingman knows that
wages are mighty slow to go UP. even
when the prices Of bread and meat are
'out Of sight"

success Depends Upon Harmony,

For some purpose, the wisdom of which
is not apparent, the cotton factory or
nothing faction of the industrial commit
tee is trying to antagonize the real estate
owners by endeavoring TO make it appear
that the real estate owners are opposing
cotton factories. No member of the COM
mittee so far has opposed the building of
cotton factories in or near Savannah. but
there are members of the committee who
don't believe that the city is going to the
"demnition bow-wows" if everybody
doesn't go crazy on the cotton
the owners of both improved or
unimproved real estate in Savan-
nah put their money in every in
dustrial enterprise that is started. In
proof Of the statement that the owners
of unimproved real estate are not oppos-
ing cotton factories is the fact that
gentleman who has been talking in favor
of cotton factories for years is one of the
largest owners of unimproved real estate
in the city. and he is working very in

1t is eminently proper and right for him
to do this. and doubtless he would be
willing 10 have a brewery. or an iron
foundry, or a carriage factory, or any
other factory on his property.
The men who don't own unimproved

tories or other enterprises. In order to

Steve EILins' Attack on "a Hen Roost

Ex-Congressman John 7. Heard of Mis-
souri,, who went out of sight in the great
temperate extirpation last fall, tells
good story on Steve Elkins, says the
New York Press. They were college
chums at the Missouri State University
Just before commencement they organ
lied a hunting and fishing party and
started down a small river near Columbia
for a week sport. Luck was hard against
them. They gathered in neither fish nor
game, and the second night out found
them on the verge of starvation. A far
mer's hen roost near camp arrested their
attention, and it was determined to make
a raid. Lots were drawn, and fate put it
upon Elkins and Heard to make the at
tack on the fowls. Reaching the roost each
climbed tree. Immediately the dogs
began to bark. and the farmer came out
with a gun, which he fired into tho tree
selected by Elkins. Steve who was d
great, big, clumsy, overgrOwn boy, lost his
hold and fell head first to the ground, the
dogs tackled him and he was made a
prisoner, the farmer locking him in the
Smokehouse, where he had to stay all
night Heard was hid in the branches Of
his tree, and had sense enough to keep
still during the excitement, after which he
slid down and skipped out. In the morn
ing Elkins was taken to Columbia by the
farmer. In the principal street of the town
he made his escape, never stopping in his
flight till he got to Jefferson City, more
than thirty miles away. The grand jury
returned an indictment against him for
. stealing chickens, and when he heard of
1t he could hardly be persuaded to go back

Indictment was nolle pressed and he re-
gained complete confidence In himself. He
prided himself on his oratorical powers
and expected to create lasting impress
sion. He started out in fine style, gaining
applause and stirring up enthusiasm.
When he got down to the spread eagle
business one of the boys turned a chicken
loose in the hail. Elkins did not exactly
break down, but his peroration was not so
eloquent as 1t might have been.

Southern papers are apparently just
waking up to the fact, and are calling at
tention to it, that the overwhelming pro-

The country is being flooded with pam
phlets and other cheap publications that
inculcate socialism and revolution under
the guise of calculating the financial prob
lem. They pretend to base their arguments
upon facts and deliver them in patriotism.
But when the facts come to be looked for
they are not there. and the amount of
patriotism to be found would rattle in
the shell of a mustard seed. AS might be
