PERHAPS nothing occurred in the
Chinese difficulty which could better
serve 10 open the eyes of nations inter-
ested than the incident reported in
Admiral Seymour's dispatches con-
corning the disposition of the wounded.
The brave blue Jackets who fell dis
abled on the retreat begged the ad-
miral to dispatch them before they
fell victims to Chinese torture. The
admiral humanely granted their
wishes, a firing squad of their COM
rades performing that duty which sci.
dom falls to civilized troops.

FARMERS WILL BENEFIT.

1t is safe to say that more progress
in learning good farming will be made
this year by thinking farmers than for
the past three or four. In. fact year
OF reverses is calculated to work to the
benefit of farmers just as a reverse in
business is often needed to set firm
on a sound basis. Almost anyone can
farm and raise good crops in favorable
years, but it takes smart man to
raise good crop every year, and un-
der all conditions: This summers

pie, but the future of agriculture will

A WRITER in the Home Magozine
foretells a great war, great on account
of the millions engaged and the stake
for which it is waged-the empire of
the world. The dream is not alto
getherr visionary either, he says, for
statesmen of all countries foresee it
and are straining to delay it as long as
possible. The writer Of the article
says that the war cloud will burst
when Russia stakes out her claims and
is ready to fight for them. The only
consolation he offers is that though
might may prevail for a time, right as
in the past will eventually prevail.

ROOSEVELT REMOVES DISTRICT
ATTORNEY; ELECTION DISPUTE CAUSE

Albany, n. Y, Dec. 22.-Governor
Roosevelt announced tonight that he
had removed from office Asa Bird Gar
diner, district attorney of New York
county, on charges preferred by Dep
uty General H. II. Hammond. At the
same time the governor made it known
that he had appointed Eugene a. Phil
bin of New York City commissioner on
the state board of charities, and a
Democrat, to fill the vacancy.
In a lengthy memorandum the COVER
nor sets forth his reasons for remoV-
ing CoIoner Gardiner. He says:
1.-THE charge vitality affecting the con-
duct of the district. attorney is that
which relates to his attitude about
election time toward the Indictment of
Chief of Police Devery after the lat
ter had issued a, scandalously improper
and seditious order to the police force
under him.
Where the conduct of the district
attorney for the county of New York
affects elections this conduct becomes
a matter not merely of county, but Of
state and national concern. Fraud or
violence at the polls in New York coun-
ty in a national election may concern
not merely the county itself, not mere
ly the other counties of the state, but
