Russia's Cat-Like Tread.
From the Brooklyn Eagle


1t Is the old eastern story over again
The world looks the other way for a mo
ment at the South African war, or the
American invasion Of European markets
and, pOuf! Russia has captured another
mouse in China and swallows and digests
1t before any of the other powers can in
terfere. This time it Is Niu Chwang, prin-
cipal port Of Manchuria and one of the
ports covered by the Chinese treaty. A
few years ago it was Port Arthur, down
on the point Of the peninsula. commanding
the Gulf Of Pechili. and which she pro-
poses to make the terminus Of her trans
Siberian railway. Niu Chwang will be q
convenient way station and much nearer
the capital OF the province than Port Ar
thur. There have been disputes for some
time over a railroad to Niu Chwang and
Russia has protested against a concession
of such road to any other power than
herself. Now. the ether powers may whis-
tie for chance to get there.

Unrest,

The kicker whose eternal plant
Doth terrify the town
He fain would take this world of ours
And turn it upside down.
But if he found it upside down
His anger still would climb,
Because twas hot in winter and
So cold in summer time
And great mass meetings he would call
And work with might and main,
And never rest until the world
Was right side up again

From the New York Herald.
There is law against boys driving
wagons in the streets, but that it is not en-
forced is apparent by the reckless manner
in which these youngsters drive through
our busy thoroughfares and turn corners
with two wheels in the air. A few arrests
now and then would do a great deal of
good in this direction.
