RUSSIA IN THE EAST.

One cannot fail to admire the abil-
ity which Russia displays in turn
ing every complication between 9TH
er nations to her own advantage.
There have been in the past two OBJ
StacleS only to her steady advance
in Asia. One was offered by the
bulldog opposition of Great Britain
to any Russian encroachment upon
the territory of the British posses
sions in India. The other was the
mighty empire of China, which lay
more directly in her path, and which
1T seemed equally difficult to conquer
or to cajole. The war between ia
pan and China furnished Russia
with an opportunity which she has
improved in way that displays
actual genius in diplomacy. Her
sympathies naturally lay with ia
pan, as the assailant of her rival.
But Russian statesmen looked fur
Their ahead than this, and saw the
possibility of completing a friendly
alliance with China, and of check
mating the possible and still more
dangerous move of Japan to obtain
a foothold on the Asiatic continent.
1t was purely selfish interest
which moved Russia to protest
against the treaty which was to give
to Japan a portion of Chinese ter
r1tory. Singularly enough, not only
France, but Germany fell into her
trap, and Joined in the. remon-
stTances to which Japan felt obliged
to yield
Great advantages are already ap-
parent from this arrangement for
Russia. The Chinese government
looks to her as it's ally and savior
from spoliation; and Russian
government in Asia is not so dissim-
liar to that of China in some respects
as to awaken that keen repugnance
which the Chinese feel for other Eu-
ropean peoples. By assisting in the
negotiation for loan that is to paw
the war indemnity to Japan, and by
guaranteeing the integrity of Chi
nese territory, Russia has accom-
pl1shed two objects at one stroke.
She has prevented Japan from ac-
curing control of territory and sea-
ports which she hopes to make her
own when her great trans-Asiatic
railroad line is complete. On the
other hand, she has made a friend
OF China; and, while no great de-
pendence is to be placed upon her
gratitude, the exhibition of
power in the East made by
Russia's successful intervention will
incline that empire to listen favor
ably to future propositions for COM
mercial and political concessions.
Indeed, having in view Russia's am
bltion to dominate in Asia, it would
appear that she is the largest gamer
by the war so recently concluded.
Whatever we may think of her gov
eminent or her civilization, it is i'm
possible to repress all admiration
for people and a government so
shrewd in council and so swift and
strong in action.

Mauriers Svengaii, and Franz Hart

as one Sin whom the truth is a living
and conscious power-who does not
need to draw differences, because he
sees and knows the truth itself, the
truth being the essential part of his

1t is with different sensations that
one goes over the pages of the Annals
of the American Academy" and the
picture that rises is a different one.
One sees now group of thoughtful
faced men, with the rounded shoulders
of the student, free of the spur of our
Industrial life and yet in sympathy
with it, sitting before a broad window,
looking out on the busy street and
philosophizing on the conditions, social
and political, of the hurrying crowd
that throngs it. There is a sedate-
ness of treatment that bespeaks leis-
ure, with an acuteness and fullnesS
that tells of study and reflection.
r. Satellites discourses on '"The De-
velopment of the Present Constitution

cusses 1.-The Ethical Basis of Distribu-
ton and It's Application to Taxation"
Between the ethical economist, who
lis apt to be a, sentimentalist," and
the hard-headed economist, who sis
extremely chary of ethical questions"
there lies the insistent truth that cit
is no longer possible to discuss the
question of the distribution of the
burdens of taxation without dealing
with questions of equity and Justice"
He discusses preliminarily the ques-
ton of the distribution of the rewards
of industry because the distribution of
the burdens of taxation is related to 1t.
The principle of utility that justifies
the present methods of distributing
industrial products must be the
basis of any distribution of
taxation. So far as the state
uses its power in the distribu-
ton of products it is used to pro
mote the greatest happiness to the
greatest number" AS taxation is adj
mittedly all evil, the state should make
the test of justice in taxation the
least evil to the least number"

scale of values, and the wider apart
the degrees in the scale, the greater
is the inducement to fraud. That the
fraudulent practices are not as noto-
rious and frequent now as under the
act of 1928 is due to the better customs
service, the quicker International COM
munication by steam and telegraph
and the facilities of ascertaining the
foreign cost and prices of imports.

Tories would have control of -parlia-
ment without being obliged to
form any coalition with forces
other than their own. The
most surprising event, and one
showing how strongly the tide
runs, is the defeat of Sir William
Vernon Hareourt by vote which, as
compared with that of the last elee-t
ton, amounts to a revolution. This
is hardly to be explained except as
a measure of the popular disap-i
prevail of the party in whose minis
try he held conspicuous place. 5ht
There is nothing surprising in
this. The surprising thing would be
if the people felt in any other way.
For the Liberals have no leader and
no policy worth mentioning, as far
as we can discern on this side of the
water. They have never followed
Lord Rosebery enthusiastically; and
since his defeat he has not shown "a.
single quality that would rally the
people behind him. They have lost
the support of a deeply moved pub
lie moral sense in their virtual aban.
donment of home rule. They have
gone just far enough in their move
ment against the house of lords to
alarm and offend the average slow
moving Briton, and have Disguised
the radical by stopping short of any,
thing positive and effective looking
toward the control of legislation by
the people. In short, the Liberal
candidate who presents himself to
the voters this year must find it diff
flcult to tell them why he
is there, or what his party in
tends to do if it should be
retained in power. Unless these
first elections are fallacious in their
pointing, he will never have to set
tie the latter question. The common
expectation of a strong Conservative
majority in the next parliament
seems pretty certain to be realized

THE GOOD PARTNERS OF VICE


The manner in which people with
the best of intentions play into the
hands of those with the worst finds
1fesh illustration in the Sunday
enforcement law in New York. Com
missioner Roosevelt intimates, and
the Evening Post openly charges,
that the act was passed by the legis-
lature at the instigation of the Tam
many managers; who used it as a
club to compel the payment of
money, through the police depart
ment, for the privilege of immunity
from arrest for violation of the law.
Where payment of this blackmaiI
was refused, protection was with
drawn and arrests followed until
the recalcitrant saloonkeeper was
fined into submission. Where money
was not extorted, political work was
taken as it's equivalent; and such
saloonkeepers had a pull" that
saved them when complaint was
made. The law was imperative to
effect the end sought by the good
people who were the unconscious
partners of the blacklegs in playing
their game, and was only effective
in enabling the disreputables to play
theirs successfully.
We have frequently seen the same
thing in legislatures where a bill.
having no other purpose than to
strike some corporation, had the
hearty support of legislators who
honestly aided it under the impress
sion that the corporation aimed at
needed the proposed restriction.
When the alarmed corporation had
satisfied the wolves they lost in
terest in the bill and it was either
withdrawn, or smothered in COM
mittee or some special reference,
and the good people were left to
wonder what had become of it; or
else it was beaten with the aid of
the votes of the wolves, who had
suddenly discovered some serious
objections to the measure 1t al
ways has been thus, and thus it
will continue to be until good-inten-
toned people get to know that law
it not omnipotent; that human ma
ture cannot be nodded by it; that all
progress in morals is but the slow
upward movement of the mass, not
to be accelerated by law, and also
learn to look with suspicion on the
bad Greeks who come bearing gifts
of apparently good measures in their
hands.

is a good thing to let alone. Mr..
Reed represents the latter, and Mr..
Mckinley the former. Either is
fatal. a majority of the voters of
the country will never return to Nc
KinleyiSm. One dose was enough
for generation. To submit with
out protest to the present law will
be taken as approval. On the Dem
ocratic side there is general agree
ment that the present act is not a
finality; that ultimately the full
pledge must be redeemed, and that
the present law justifies the claims
made for the policy of a revenue
tariff. No single prediction of our
opponents made during its tendency
or after it's passage has been verified.
On the contrary, every one of them
has been falsified. Industries that
were to be palsied are vigorous;
wages that were to be reduced are
rising, and labor that was to go
idle is employed. The effects of
high and low tariffs on industry are
shown by comparison of the re-
covery of trade from depression.
The panic of 1873 projected it's eff
fects into the succeeding six years.
We have been in a condition of par
tial panic, getting acute in 1884 and
1890, and eliminating in 1898. We
did not fully recover from the panic
Of 1873 until we were struck by an
other. Under the Walker tariff the
country recovered from the panic
of 1857 in a couple of years. We are
rivaling now the speed of that re-
covery. Fortified with this situation,
Democrats can point to the bene-
fetal effects on industry of the re-
duction made by the senate bill,
and confidently ask their fellow vot-
ers if the result does not vindicate
the wisdom of the policy and war
rant further steps towards a full
redemption of the pledges made.
On the two leading questions, then,
that will be before the voters for
decision next year, the currency
and the tariff, the position of the
Democrats today is far the stronger
and is growing better. 1t will be
next year largely a matter of con-
fidence on the part of the voters.
Which of these two parties has
shown itself the most trustworthy?
The great, controlling business in
terest of the country cares less for
parties than for security. The cur
rency is with it the prime factor.
On the one hand it sees a party
that frankly avows its want of
policy, and on the other one that
presents one that commands it's ap-
prevail. The floating, impression
able vote will reason more logically
then than it did in 1894. 1t aided in
the overthrow of the Democrats be-
cause it held them responsible for
its misfortunes. 1t will now more
accurately attribute the improved
conditions to their legislation. This
is the situation today, and each day
betters it. 1t is this that inspires
Democrats with courage and con-
fidence that the verdict of '94 will
be reversed in '96 and a. new trial
ordered.

the question of the free coinage of

coming contest. The socialists would
