The rapid strides being made by
Japan in pushing her manufactures onto
the markets of the world is beginning to
attract attention in Europe, and the
movement in the interest of bimetallism
has received new impetus. 1t will not
take long for tho manufacturers in all
gold standard countries to discover that
they cannot compete with those who use
a money made of a cheaper material.
They are at the same disadvantage that
railroad costing $4,000 mile would
be In competing in the same territory
with one costing but $4,000 a mile.

The JOURNAL regrets sincerely that
circumstances are such that its con-

and their acts who do not deserve it. 1t

We are opposed to the practice OF
mortgaging political parties to a few
individuals in return for large con-
tributions to campaign funds, and
we recommend that the State Central
Committee seek contributions for
legitimate purposes OF all leading re-
publicans in the state, able and
willing to give.
We denounce the practice that pre-
walls at each session of our legislai ure
of encouraging professional lobbyists
in their const ant efforts to effect or
prevent legislation by bribery, dlrect
or Indirect, and thus defeat just laws,
beneficial to the people, or secure the

we are opposed to the election
of any professional lobbyist to a
place of honor or trust in our
party
Then follow resolutions favoring
Mckinley for the presidency and
Sam A. Harper for chairman of the
state central committee. These re-
solutions, coming from the state
capitol and passed by men who are
in position to watch lie work Of tn
administration and the legislature,
are full OF significance. Indirect
bribery undoubtedly refers to the
iniquitous pass system which is so
potent always with the weakened
legislator. They also seem to have
their knives out for the Sawyer

The TINES has heretofore, and still
claims, TO exercise a large degree OF
political independence. Our desire
and purpose is, to weigh we'll the
qualifications and fitness of the MAN
for the OFFICE and then to advocate
and strive for the election OF the
person who, In our judgement, will
best serve theinterests of the people.
We have treated both party
candidates for circuit Judge
with fairness and candor, preiering
to wait and become fully posted up
on the merits Of the men before
choosing between them. With this
aim in view we have made a careful
study Of the fitness of the candidates
now before the people, and in placing
the name OF E. w. Helms at the head
Of our column for Judge OF the Eighth
Judicial Circuit we feel confident that
no mistake has been made-that he
will be the right man for the office.
AS we see it, the man for this i'm
portant position should be in his
prime, and possessed of his full in
tellectual vigor. He should be a man
of correct habits, of a sound judicia
mind, free from prejudice, and always
just and impartial. Such q man We
believe Mr.. Helms to be to an
eminent degree. He is 81 years old,
Just the age for hard work; his edu
cation and training have been in
line to properly equip him for al
efficient Judge
On the other hand Judge Bundy
will have been upon the bench for 20
years when his present term is COM
pleted; and should he be reelected
would be long past the "three score
years and ten" when the term ex
pired.
Let each voter, for himself. compare
the qualifications of the two can
didates. The one young, vigorous,
evenly balanced, impartial and with
no old scores to settle, no enemies
to punish.
The other grown old in Office, with
the infirmities of age and the pre-
ludices naturally created by long
official career and continued line OF
thought i'll one direction clinging to
him. Make the comparison carefully
we say, and there will be no question
as to the result.
Mr.. Helms will be your choice.

Antigone.


Antigone has had the most long
lived popularity. Not only has it
been frequently acted on the
Athen1an stage but it has been
translated and initiated by success
sive generations from Seneca to
Racine. The plot has been illus
trated by seme of the most famous
artists and the choruses have been
sci to music by Mendelssohn.
1t is not hard to discover the
secret Ct the enduring favor with
which the "Antigone" has been
regarded. The heroine, who ab-
serbs the interest of the piece, is
the purest and noblest ideal OF
womanhood that ever inspired a
poet. In reading the poem we
have something Of the feeling that
we have when looking at some of
the masterpieces of the world s
artists, all parts of the picture sink
into utter insignlfgance before
the one grand central figure. An
tigone has been said to be the
poetry of what Socrates is the prose,
martyr IN the cause of truth.
Both chose to obey God rather
than man. More than two thous-
and five hundred years have pass
ed since Antigone made her noble
protest but time has only justified
her cause. It was outraged nature
that made this appeal through the
mouth of Antigone. Creon had
by the exposure of the body of
Polynices violated the first great
law Of humanity and had commit
ted an act detestable at once to gods
and to men. To the Greek, rever-
ence to the dead was the most
sacred of all duties. Nothing could
compensate to the dead for the
cruel deprivation Of a tomb. n ot.
only was the spirit in such a case
condemned to wander for thous
and years on the banks of the
river Styx, but the laws OF the
gods of the lower world were vlo-
lated. But short time before
this poem was written, ten VIC
torious generals had been condemn
ed to death, because they left the
seamen in a sinking vessel to
drown and so deprived them of a
grave. Hence, without doubt,
the tragedies which must have ex
cited the keenest sympathy IN
Greek audience were those IN
which the interest turned upon
the violation of funeral rights.
After the death of Ndipus, the
sisters Antigone and Ismene, with
their brother Eteocles, returned to
Thebes under the guardianship of
their uncle Creon. Then came the
famous siege of the city headed by
Polynices and the seven chiefs.
For three days the seven chiefs
assaulted the seven gates and then
the two brothers decided the fate
Of the city by a trial by combat;
both were killed.
1t is on the morning after the
combat that the play opens. All
that scenery can do to heighten
the effect has been employed by
the poet. In the back ground rises
the palace Of the kings of Thebes
and on the walls are hung six suits
OF armor taken from the Arglne
chieftains, one side scene repre-
sents the distant hills; on the
other is depicted the city itself.
The Greek audience who have
murmured their applause at the
fidelity with which the artist has
brought a we'll known locality be-
fore them, are hushed into silence
as the two sisters enter.
They have come forth FROM the
palace to discuss the new decree

The Chinese Deficient in Military System
and Discipline.
The Chinese are an untidy race,
whose cities in their native country are
frightfully unclean, and whose special
quarters in our cities are apt to afford
anxiety to boards of health. The jap
anese, on the contrary, are extremely
clearly, orderly and neat; and one of
the stories told of Chinese soldiers in
the present war tends to show that
this difference has played no small part
in determining victory or defeat.
The japanese are armed with mod
ern weapons, of which they take ex-
cellent care, and which they handle
with skill and efficiency. A lady writ
ing from China says that the Chinese
troops are provided with a curious va
riety of European arms, obsolete.
ancient and new; and that cartridges
for perhaps twenty different makes
are all served out together.
In Manchuria she actually saw cart
ridges piled carelessly on the ground,
mot in boxes, but lying in great heaps
like potatoes-long and short, fat and
thin, all mixed together, and soldiers
fitting them to their guns, trying them,
and throwing away those which were
too large or too small"
No wonder the Cinnamon do not
stand before the Japanese. As soon as
the cartridges each man happens to
carry are exhausted he can only de-
pend on one chance in twenty of get
ting any more that he can use. He sell
dom waits that chance; he runs, and
throws his useless rife promptly away
that he may run the faster.-London

KleptOmania.

To believe French writer, there are
no fewer than four thousand women
caught every year in stealing during
their shopping expeditions, habit eu-
phoniously styled kleptomania. The
number of titled ladies seized with this
strange malady while examining the
fashions of Paris, he tells us, is incred-
ible. Among the most recent culprits
were Russian duchess, French
countess, an English duchess and the
daughter of a'reigning sovereign. As
a rule, these distinguished offenders
are let off on the payment of round
sum for the relief of the poor; when
the shoplifter is known to be rich, the
sum extracted rises to as much as ten
thousand francs. The police authori-
ties consent to this sort of conformation.
