WAR IN EARNEST.

Yesterdays dispatches indicate that
a state of war exists between Russia
and China. The Chinese minister at
st. Petersburg has been given his pass
port and ordered to leave the country.
This is equivalent to a declaration of
war
1t is likewise understood that three
of the powers have agreed to give Rus
STA free hand in Manchuria, which
means that the carving is about to be-
gin. Great Britain ana Germany are
ready to make a hostile declaration. but
neither is in a position to carry the
threat into immediate execution.
Russia has a large body of men on
the border. and an army of land forces
in northern China at the present time.
The most startling revelation, aside
from the conflicting reports of condi-
tons at Pekin. relates to the improve
ment of the Chinese in the art of war;
fare. They are not only well equipped
with modern arms and accoutrements,
but their skill in the use Of rifles and
artillery is surprising.
1t has been q popular notion that the
Chinese always fought with banners,
boat hooks and hobgoblins, but they
are shooting pretty accurately with
Mausers and heavy artillery, according
to recent dispatches.
This equipment. taken into considera-
ton with their numbers and the fact
that they are fatausts and know no
fear renders the Chinese army a for
midable adversary.
Whatever NAV be the outcome, the
civilized world viii have to revise its
ideas of Chinese skill in modern meth
DDS of warfare.

AGAINST THE TORIES.

The brilliant Republican congress-
man from Indiana. Henry Underwood
Johnson, considered the most eloquent
member of his party in the national
congress, has announced that. between
the policy of the present administra-
ton and the policy of the founders of
this government, he elects TO stay with
the latter.
The Declaration of Independence is 2
better platform for an American to
stand upon than the one constructed
by Mckinley and remodeled by Quigg
at Philadelphia.
In reference to his action Mr.. John
son has issued the following state
ment:
Il am out of harmony with the Demo-
cratic party in its position on the finan-
cial question, but this question rales into
inSignificance, in my opinion when
compared with the more mOmentOus
questions upon which that party is clear
" I'm the right. Economic mistakes can
be corrected, but what remedy can be
found when n people abandon their high
ideals and lapse into moral decadence?
IL believe in Republican institutions
and despise oppression. | want to see
my countTymen preserve their own lib
erty and refrain from invading the lib
erty of other people. My aspirations will
certainly fail of realization if the Re
publican party, now thoroughly COM
mitted to expansion by violence over un .
willing subjects, is continued in power
while the aScendenCy of Mr.. Bryan and
his party will. in my Judgment prevent
us from committing a great wrong to
others and irreparable injury to our
selves l shall support Mr.. Bryan for
president The condition of my health
will probably prevent me from taking an
active part in the campaign
Mr.. Johnson is a vigorous speaker. a
clear reasoner and a true patriot. He
will doubtless stump his old district for
the Democratic ticket and his influence
will be felt.

THEIR "sCUTTLE POLICY

'Tha star attraction of the ReDub-
lican campaign" as Chairman Hanna
calls Roosevelt. is repeating McKinleys
keynote of imperialism wherever he
talks. and telling what a shame it
would be to adopt 1.-The scuttle policy in
the Philippines"
What do they mean by a "Scuttle pol
icy?" is it the policy pursued by
Hanna's Droteges in Cuba?
To scuttle a ship is to sink it by cut
ting holes in the bottom. If islands
can be scuttled in the same way, and
the same sort of officials are sent to the
Philippines who have been sent to
Cuba, there can be no doubt but the
@scuttle policy viii be attempted.
Holes have been made in the revenues
of Cuba. in the postal department as
well as ia the army supply department,
which, in time, would sink that island,

The Ogden Standard thinks Bryan
has no show because the trusts behind
Mckinley are offering to bet to 1 on
Hanna's triumph. They have the pile
and can make the bluff, to be sure
The only way the American masses
have to reply to these plutocrats is
through the ballot box. and they will
do it next November, no matter what
the odds

Our cars are no better-in themselves

what is INSIDE them that makes them
more comfortable.
For instance: The seats in our re-
Ginning chair cars are provided with
linen head pieces-clean and cool. Our
dining cars have electric fans, and are
gOrgeousIy decorated with flowers. In
every car is a thermometec, which the

island government for paving the
expenses Of running that govern
ment, so that tte 10 per cent. Of
the tariff does not burden the poo-
people at all.
When Porto Rico was storm
swept the quick response OF our
people to the cry of distress. and
the liberal sending of tens of
thousands OF tons Of supplies for
the stranded victims of the storm
gave evidence Of the true feeling
which this country entertained
toward the new possession. y
loyal lady OF San Juan remarked
that 1.-THE United States is great
because it is liberal; 1t is prosper
GUS because ii is humane
Under Spanish rule the weak
were robbed; the foreclosure of a
mortgage was permitted in a most
unwarranted manner, and always.
TO the loss OF the debtor. a mill
tary order checked this. Under
Spanish rule a large percentage
of the property owners were alb
sentees, conducting their estates
through agencies. and eXacting Il
most ruinous course against other
interests. The property Of the
absentee class has been put under
taxable conditions that viii make
them bear their portion OF. the
burden OF the government which
gives security to their property.
Under Spanish rule the money
OF the island was subject to the
most extraordinary fluctuations;
when the planter needed money
to pay his help, and Tor supplies,
the peso would be held at sixty
cents in gold, and as soon as the
money had passed into the hands
of the men whom the planter ow
ed the value of the same peso de-
clined to - cents. This ruinous
variation In money has been made
to give place TO certainty and sta
bllitv by changing the currency
OF the island to United States
currency.
Under the rule OF Spain the
mass Of the people dared not
make an outcry against any OPP
preston; the bakers Of San Juan
testified that their hours of labor
we're from i o'clock p. m. till II
o'clock noon OF the following day,
and that they worked every day
IN the wear. Other artisans gave
similar testimony. With Amer
lean occupation shorter hours were
demanded without fear, ond fair
dealing began to take the place of
ancient wrong
Aside from the 50,773 property
owners of Porto Rico, made up
largely Of absentees, priests and
Spanish residents, the people
of the island are loyal to our
methods, and appreciate our et-
forts in their behalf, so far as
they can realize the enactments.

Porto Rico Benefited.

Mr.. Charles L. Buell., who was
Secretary of the United States
Special Commission to Porto Rico,
and is familiar with the various
conditions OF which he speaks.
makes it PLAIN that our occupation
of that beautiful island has been
of greatest benefitto the people of
Porto Rico. Among other things
he explains that under Spanish
rule impIsonment.wlthout a hear,
ing or the preterrin& of charges
against the person arrested. was
common, and the imprisoned per,
sons frequently passed several
years without being informed of
the nature of the oflense for which
they had been thus held. Under
American rule no more Spanish
methods are permitted in dealing
with those charged with unlawful
acts.
Before the American occupa-
ton Of Porto Rico it was a com
mon custom to rent burial place
in lhe cemeteries, and to demand
a renewal OF the rent from year
to year, after the first five years;
failure to promptly pay the renew
al resulted In the dlslnterment of
of the body and the throwing OF
the skull and bones promiscuous-
ly intoa common bone heap to be
thereafter forever exposed to the
gaze, of the curious, and to the ac-
ton OF the elements. This cus-
tom was discontinued upon an or
der issued by the military COVER
nor, making 1t unlawful TO disinter
bodies without a special permit
from the governor general, and
then only for the purpose of rein
terment.
Under the Spanish rule marriage
had been hedged about with ar
I'bltrary rules wl1iCfT had made It
impossible for the poor, especially
in the rural districts, to enter IN
to marriage. and the result was
that more than half OF the fami-
lies were living in a state of con
cnbinage, and more than half the
children born on the island dur
ing latter years We're illegltimate.
| and deprived nj natural right un-
der The laws, due to the fact Of
their Illegal birth, a circumstance
over which they could have no
control. BY order of the military
governor the contract OF marriage
could be entered INTO without cost
before magistrate, priest or min
lister and every barrier to marriage
was removed. Those having chIl
dren could marry, and the legal
status of the offspring of such as
had been born out of wedlock be
thereby established.
Under Spanish rule the island
was scourged with diseases due
to unsanitary conditions and to a
lack of care tor the people by
those in authority. The military
governor established a vaccine
farm, and army physicians vacci-
mated the population OF the island.
Every disease is being conquered
by government agencles, and ev-
cry sanitary measure Is being car
ried out to prevent filth diseases.
Under Spanish rule everything
was taxed and to all the very eX-
acting taxes on property, real and
personal, were added duties on
imports, port dues and a>cousume
tax of no small rate. In addition
there were eXactions by the
church, which was backed by the
crown and the lnsular govern,
ment, and last, but not least, there
was a governmental lottery; the
mayors were Instructed to sell a
certain amount of the drawings.
