The season has been an exceptionally
good one, and the logs have been yard

and landings at less expense than
usual
This is accounted for from the fact that
the ground froze deep and solid early IN
the winter, making good shedding, with
a small quantity of snow. The total cut
will be about the same as last year as
a whole; some concerns cutting less than
last season. while other firms Increased

sell them, a man could kill twice or three
times as much game as he could with
stones. Thus by hunting half the time
with the weapons capital had devised, he
could obtain food and yet have time to
build nuts and make clothing out of skins.
Thus the coming of invention and capital
put the savages in condition to secure
higher grade of living-to make a step
toward civilization.
1t will be urged that the invention and
making of the bow and arrow was the re-
suit Of mind and hand; that is. the result of
labor. True the labor which the mass of
savages expended upon stoning game to
death or wasted in idleness this inventor
employed in making a bow and arrow.
When completed the bow and arrow be-
came capital, and were let to hunters on
the terms named Thus not only capital
was benefited, but labor earned twice as
much by it's aid as it could without il.
AS civilization advanced labor and CAPT
tai worked together. Indeed. their work.
ing together created the physical condi-
tions upon which civilization has depended.
All the tolls by which labor is enabled to
increase production are the contribution of
capital, accumulated either by it's own
share of the increased and cheapened pro-
duction or the saving of labor. Moreover,
the more elaborate the implements and the
more they save muscle, the better labor is
remunerated and the cheaper the product
to the consumer.
In this age of the world capital is neces-
sary at the outset When the construction
of factory is contemplated, the first move
is to obtain capital with which to con-
struct buildings and machinery. When
these are secured the field is open for the
cooperation of labor. If capital cannot be
the labor which would have been employed
if the scheme had been successful is left
without employment. When a large fac
tory shuts down it is because the capital
invested in the plant in materials and goods
fails to be remunerative. When capital
meets with disaster in railroads. factories
and traffic. labor, by the loss of employ
met, shares it,
Demagogues. by declaring that labor is
the. producer OF all wealth without assist
ance have caused much dissension. 1t is
time that such disturbers, who appeal to
class prejudice, be relegated to the rear,
and that men who labor and men who fur
nish capital act upon the fact that, when
they unite, wealth and abundance are
created, and that when either fails both are
involved in n common disaster

In the current issue of the North Amer-
can Review Mr.. Charles II. Cramp, the
Philadelphia ship builder, shows that Japan
is the coming sea power" Japan already
possesses forty-eight sea-going vessels of
10000 tons displacement These include
two first-class armor-clads. In addition to
this feet Japan is building four more
armor-clads in England, four first-class
armored cruisers as large as our Brooklyn
in England, France and Germany, two
5,000-ton protected cruisers of twenty
three knots in the United States, one 1900
ton protected cruiser and eight thirty-knot
torpedo boat destroyers in England, eight
torpedo boats in Germany and four in
France, besides another 9,0O0-ton armored
cruiser, three S,OO0-ton cruisers three tor
pedo gunboats and dispatch vessel in the
imperial dockyards in Yokosuka
The large amount of new tonnage under
construction is several times greater than
is in process of construction in our own
ports for the navy. Comparisons with the
current progress of other powers" says Mr.
Cramp, ''discloses the fact that Japan is
second only to Great Britain in naval ac-
tivity, being ahead of France, much in ad-
vance of Germany and much in the lead
of the United States and Russia" He adds
that the vessels which Japan is building in
European shipyards are superior to any
these nations are building for themselves,
class for class.
1t is not possible that this remarkable
preparation of Japan is made with hostile
intent toward this country since no such
preparation will be made because of the
ing China to the wall, Russia interfered.
Remembering this, Japan seems to be de-
termned to be able to defy the Car. 1t
is probable, also, that Japan purposes to be
a sort of Great Britain In the oceans of the
Orient, holding both England and Germany
in check. But, after accounting for the
naval designs of Japan in this manner, the
United States, aside from the Hawaiian in
cident, cannot well ignore this declared pur-
pose of the Oriental monarchy to become
the dominant sea power in the Pacific
ocean. We cannot afford to let our naval
weakness be a temptation to any power to
interfere with our interests. We are very
much of a nation, with immense territory
and resources, but we cannot be unmindful
of the fact that in the future those nations
which will have the greatest power, other
things being equal, are those which support
large and modern nayies

HOW RUSSIA PROTECTS SEALS.
Regulations which the Conference
VIII BE Asked to Extend.

WASHINGTON, Oct. I.-Although for
NAL conferences on the Boring sea question
will not open until after the arrival of the
Japanese delegates. yet the presence here
Of two of the Russian delegates has per-
mitted the authorities to inform themselves
quite thoroughly as to the attitude of Rus
STA on the protection of the seals. 1t has
brought out the fact that Russia takes an
advanced position in preserving her seal
herds and has more stringent laws and
regulations in that direction than any of
the countries interested. Under the Russian
system Il zone thirty miles wide is estab-
lished around the seal islands belonging to
the empire. The seals found within this
zone are regarded as exclusively Russian,
and no one other than the inhabitants of
the islands can take a seal within these
limits. This gives the Russian citizens ex
elusive rights over the seals, not only on
the islands, but extending thirty miles sea-
ward. A British OF Japanese Sealer cannot
operate within the zone, except to buy skins
of the Russian inhabitants of the islands.
The Russians themselves are permitted to
kill only bachelor seals, 1t being against
strict regula to kill a female or a pup
seal. The females are guarded with special
care, as the killing of one female is re-
garded equivalent to the killing of three
seals, namely, the female herself, her pup
on land and her unborn pup. Furthermore
the Russians are allowed TO kill a bache-
lor only when he is on land it being for
hidden to Kill any manner of seal in the
water.
The Russian authorities see that these
regulations are enforced. A fleet of govern
ment ships patrol the thirty-mile zone and
any foreign sealer who attempts to operate
within these limits is seized. AS rule the
seized sealers are taken to Valdivostock.
their catch contiscated and severe punish
ments inflicted This has led to many pro-
tests but Russia has maintained thus far
her rigid regulations against foreigners
within the thirty-mile zone. In one notable
case the ship Dahlia, cleared by a United
States consular officer, but manned with
Japanese crew, attempted to take seals on
the Russian islands. They were met with
armed resistance and several of the Japan
ese were killed. Claims for indemnity were
made against Russia, but never paid, as the
imperial authorities maintained their right
to protect their property against invasion.
1t is understood to be the wish of Russia
in the forthcoming conference not to stop
at the protective regulations already made
but to carry them further, by increasing
the width of the zone considerably beyond
thirty miles. The Russian authorities have
found by experience that many of the fe-
male seals go more than r.ti.-y miles to sea
in search of food The wish is. therefore, to
make the zone so wide That It will extend
to the furthest point 10 which the females

THE FREE-SILvER PARTY IN
INDIANA.

AS the Associated Press dispatches from
this city are made up in the Sentinel office,
it was a fcregone conclusion that they
would represent the election of Mr. Tag
CART as victory for free silver. They are
particular to state that he was elected by
an increased majority on free-silver plat
form. This is literally true and yet the
election of Mr.. Taggart was not in any
sense a victory for free silver. His nomi-
nation on platform indorsing the Chicago
platform and free silver was a very shrewd
piece of politics. 1t is notorious that if he
has any convictions on the question he is
sound-money man. He was chairman of
the sound-money league and an out-and-
out gold-standard man up to the meeting
of the Chicago convention. But he is a
party man above everything else. and when
the Chicago convention declared for free
silver he fell into line. For politician who
mistakes whims for convictions this is. not
a difficult thing to do. Mr. Taggart's re-
cantation on the money question made him
an ideal candidate for party that was
split wide open on that question. His tenn
porary advocacy of sound money made him
acceptable to that faction, and if he could
be placed on a free-silver platform he
would 'catch EN- a comm and catch EN- a
goin'" To perfect the beauty of the
scheme the local machine was captured by
the sound-money Democrats. and he was
nominated by them and elected by sound
money votes. Without the votes of sound
money Democrats and Republicans who
voted for him for personal reasons he
would have been defeated by large ma
jority. His election, so far from being a
victory for free-silver, demonstrates the
strength of the sound money sentiment in
this city.
The retreating Bryan faction will not be
able to bolster up the crumbling cause OF
free silver in this State by the election of

Special dispatches from Baltimore bring
the interesting information that jury has
requested Nathan Rosen to pay S770 to
Miss Carrie Shappiero for breach of promise
to marry. Nathan did not deny the en-
gagement but insisted that 1t was broken
off by him for a good and sufficient reason,
and, when compelled by the court to state
that reason explicitly. asserted that he de-
clined, to marry the plaintiff because he ac-
cidently discovered at the last moment that
''her feet were too fiat" He added that he
had consulted physician about the matter
and was informed that 1t would be i'm
possible to correct the defect, and he feared
that his posterity might not have the

Rosen is not lineal descendant of Nathan

as he has to be fiat at the other. If he had

There is project on foot in Philadelphia
for holding in that city in the fall of 1898 a
national exposition of raw and manufac-
tured products of the United States. Ac-
cording to the present plan, which is still
in formative stage, it would be strictly
a commercial exposition without reference
to art, science or literature. The idea is to
bring together under one roof a representa-
tive exhibit of every product of the United
States, natural and manufactured, raw ma
terial and finished products, all so arranged
as to furnish complete exhibit of the
country's resources and industries. The
idea is good one and characteristic of the
times. 1t is sure sign of returning pros
perity and confidence when business men
begin to branch out and work together on
broad lines for the extension of trade.
