Tammsny has turned . very neat
trick in the vice suppression business
The New York police instead Of be-
ing turned loose agsinst the Tigsr's
friends. the dive-keepers. have been
lined up to attack the Tigeri emf
mics. the dive-owners. Investigation
develops the fact that many of the
400 and some of the most energetic
snti-vice crusaders own buildings
used for various immoral purposes
and derive large parts of their in
come from the wages of sin.
This is not so bad ~ il seems, for
as matter of fact the average rich
real estate owner in New York puts
his property in the hands Of an agent
and knows nothing more about il. A
Southern man, new to the newspap-
er business in New York, was paral-
lied one night when he was sent ut
IL O'Clock to ask Governor Levi p.
Morton if g block then burning in
Nassau street and valued at $500, 900
was his. The old Governor yswned
and said he really didn't know. He
recollected that be had owned the
block once. but be left all thos. mat
tiers to his agents and couldn't re-
call whether this special parcel had
been sold or not.
The public, however, will look on
ly at the fact that houses owned by
citizens who are denouncing Tam
many for failing to suppress vice are
used TO harbor aud shelter vice; aud
the future efforts of these citizens in
thatidirectiou will be greeted with
derisicn. 1t is neat trick and the
clever rascal who devised it 10 emit

Much has been written about the
"yeIlow peril which Is supposed by
some writer's TO threaten Europe. Lit
tie or nothing has been said about
the peril which more imniuently
threatens West Europe, the invasion
Of the Slav. Ii is now announced that
the Russian Empire has population
of l36,000,00o. Forty years ago that
Empire had population of but u.s.
100000, so that the rate of increase
of Russian population has not fallen
so very far behind that of the United
States. In the past decade, it lie prob
able that Russians have increased,
proportionstely, as fast as Americans.
Of this vast horde under the govern
ment of the Gar, 20 per cent is Slsv,
aud Russians proper number S6,000,-
600. Russia has more than twice the
population of Germany and four
times that of Great Britain.
Unlike the Chinese, the Russians
are strong, vigorous, growing race
of people. At present they have as
virile literature as any nation IN the
world. They are deficient somewhat
in the mechanical arts, but are ready
10 learn from the best masters. Rus
sian development is going on at a
rate unsurpassed by the people of any
other nation. There is no doubt that
Russia's greatness is before her. Since
the time of its appearance on the in
ternationsl stage. Russia mas steadily
pursued programme of expansion.
Before taking a step forward, it has
secured its base. Every movement
has been from it's own territory to the
territory of Its neighbors. 1t has been
pressing on the Turk on the one
hand, and on the Tartar and China
man on the other. By sheer weight
the Russian is now pressing down
the barriers all along the southern
frontier. He is Russisnizing Asia as
we'll as Western Europe. There is
no prospect that the Russian will
turn back in his career for world do
minIon. Secure from naval attack,
there is no single Power which could
even menace him in his home. From
q land base be can strike at the lar
ger portion of Asia and Europe,
while other rivals must depend on
the sea. If the Germanic races 10
Europe are in danger from without,
it is not from the yellow peril. I"
The invader which threatens Europe
is the horde led by the "Grest White
Gar"

Nine persons were killed and fully
fifty badly injured by the collapse of
the roof of the Pacific Glass Works.
In San Francisco on Thanksgiving
Day while it was crowded with men
and boys watching football game
on the field adjoining-About seven
five people fell through the roof up
on the red hot furnaces and glass
watts below. All were horribly burn
ed, and it is feared that in addition
to the nine deaths already reported
there will be several more. Two
hundred boys and men had gathered
on the sheet-iron roof of the glass
works TO obtain free view of the an
nual football game between Stanford
and the University of California.
About twenty minutes after the
game had commenced there was a
crash, plainly audible from the foot
ball grounds, and a portion of the
roof went down. The fires in the
furnace had been started for the
first time that day, and the watts were
full of liquid glass. 1t was upon
these that the victims fell. Some
were killed instantly and the others
were slowly roasted to death.
