ened day OF wrath Moreover. as we
said only yesterday the world has
heard from Japan chiefly IN the sensa-
tional and incendiary utterances while
the conservative counsels and infu-
ences have really been by far the more
potent. The reported arrangement is
commended to our credence, too, by it's
reasonable terms. Briefly stated, Ja-
pan is 10 give Russia a free hand I'm
Manchuria, and Russia is to give
Japan a free hand in Korea. Each win
therefore get what Il wants ana what
IL has been contending for. Upon such
basis they surely ought to agree.
But we have no notion that such an
agreement viii be permanent. we do
not see how il can be. RUSSIA win moi
be satisfied with Manchuria. For one
thing. it does nos give her the always
open port on the high seas for which
she has so long been contendine. She
thought it would. That is why she
fortified Port Arthur and built Dalny
But now to. her profound disgust she
finds that both these ports. as OF
course all other Shing- King ports. are
closed with ice for much Of the winter
That is why she has abandoned her ex-
exclusive policy at Port Arthur and
has announced the opening Of that port
TO the world.

DEMOCRATIC WORKERS.

Democratic Glasses in the star says:
The plan Of the Addicksites is to
take advantage OF the Democratic
traitors and sellers-out in Kent and
Sussex counties and dump all their
money into that section where there is
hope Of getting members of the Legis-
lature.
Yes; that is undoubtedly their hope.
and that was the method employed in
the last campaign. OF course they
have right to use all means of per
suasion at their command to break into
he Democratic lines but the element
Of persuasion was not purely senti-
mental. They some way managed to
appeal to n class that prior to the last
election they had failed to reach-the
Democratic workers. Unless the Dem
ocratic party can prevent this sort Of
selling out In the future, il had as
wen turn over Kent and Sussex coun-
ties without contest. Many persons
have failed to account for the Demo-
cratic slump In Kent and Sussex at the
last election, but It is largely attribute
able to the fact that Democratic voters
assistants marked ballots for the Union
Republican ticket. while Democrats on
the outside worked for the same organ
ization.

Meats, Farmers and 4By-Produets.'

From the Kansas City Star.
The man who buys meat will scarce
ly be satisfied with Charles W. Ar
mours explanation that the decrease in
the selling price of the by-products of
a steer has made 1t necessary to keep
up the price Of beef, although the
stock raiser is losing money on his
cattle. There are probably 10000 per-
sons who buy beef steak TO one man
ufacturer who buys leather betting or
oleo oil. Mr.. Armour has computed
the sum that a beef nets to the pack
ers, after allowing for the advanced
cost Of labor and the reduction In the
market value OF the by-products, and
declares that the profits are not so
great as they were a year ago when
cattle brought n much higher price
Assuming that the computation was
accurate. Mr.. Armour's statement
might excuse the packers OF increasing
their profits at the expense of the
farmer II might have been that the
profits of a year ago were too great
for the packers are very rich. But
even II the statement that they are not
unreasonable be accepted, the present
conditions illustrate the injustice done
to the consumer. His rights appear tc
be totally disregarded on the plea tina;
laborers demand greater wages and
shorter hours OF work and that hides
and hair and tallow are cheaper.
II men go hungry because food is SC
costly that they can't afford 10 buy il
II doesn't satisfy their appetites to bc
told that factories won't pay good
prices for leather betting. II the pack
ers' combine wants to make only "A faii
profit it should lower the price of meat
and demand better prices for its yellow
grease. 1t doesn't hesitate to say tc
the meat eaters, if you don't like oui
prices you needn't eat our meat II
might better advance the prices of by
products and tell the users of then
that they can do without If they wont
pay a fair price. OF course the pack.
ers would declare this argument to b,
foolish. and say that the law Of sup
ply and demand regulates the marke
for leather betting etc. But since the,
override that law I'm the case of meat
they might use their power in tn,
other instance.

and bodily powers. they did so with

fident that the relations of Mr.. Barrett
with me and my department were as
innocent and honorable as ! am sure
were all my motives and acts.
Il also wish to deny your utterly I'M
warranted statement that the gross
corruption in the case OF Tyner has
gone on for a number of years. You
should know, and your subordinates
do know, that no single act of cor
ruption, gross or mild. has been dis
covered against me; and the United

tors and its chief inquisitor, MIR. Bris-
tow will be unable to discover one.

to you, the president of the United

your well recognized and honorable
zeal for the public good. you have al
lowed yourself to be deceived and i'm
posed upon; and while ! cannot hope
for a hearing at your hands, shall, at

of having denied these wrongs and of
having demanded that hearing which
right and justice ought to accord me.

NOT so FAST, PLEASE.

Republican Glasses in the star very
blandly remarks;
With now Board of Water Conn
missioners and the new contract with
the Indiana Filtration Company the
people can now expect the work on the
new water plant to begin without
further delay. and that the blessings
and benefit OF the new project will soon
be realized by tho people Of Whining
ION.
There Is "a suspicion that the writer
IS thinking more OF blessings and
benefits" to accrue tocertain individuals
than to the dear people. We maintain
that there is no valid contract with the
Indiana Filtration Company. as it has
not been signed by the Mayor. II was
because this contract was so objection
able that he resorted TO the drasu,
measure Of removing two commission
ers from Office. It is an ugly slap at
Mayor Bird TO lnsinuate that having
secured two commissioners TO his lilS-
ing he viii now sign a contract thai
gave him his excuse for the remova
OF two commissioners.
We believe that the writer OF
Glasses has just as much chance OF
building the new plant as has III,
company he mentions When prior I,
T, the revolution i'm the department hs
defended the contract the inference
was that ne was seeking to defend one
on two OF the commissioners. but now
we must conclude that he desires tc
protect the interests OF the Western
company. But we do not believe that
st will transplre that the two commits
sioners were dismissed on a pretexi
and that the new members will perform
the acts for which their predecessors
were impeached.

need the pension he was drawing from
the government he would devote the
payments to the Grand Army.
A woman. Mrs. Henry. Of Boston,
ander similar conditions takes very
different course. She writes to the
Pension Commissioner stating that she
has received a small legacy and that,
therefore, she does not longer need the
pension she has been drawing and re-
fuses TO accept any longer.
The governor evidently considered
the money as his to do as he pleased
with. while the woman thought that as
the government had protected her in
her poverty, she had no right to con-
anue to draw funds from the public
treasury when she no longer needs as
sistance.
Our government has been most gem
erous in the matter Of pensions, and
there are thousands OF veterans who
deserve all the gratuities that their
country can bestow. and it is unfor-
tunate the pension list cannot be kept
as an honor roll. But unfortunately
there are thousands on that list who
saw very little service and who re-
ceived no injury during their time OF
service. Many others are drawing a
stipend from the government who are
IN no sense needy. Meanwhile there
are bills before Congress to enlarge the
pension lists indefinitely but we do
aot think that this is in the interests
Of the men who have fought their
countrys battles, but a sop TO PEN
sion agents who are making tools of
certain members Of the Grand Army.

SUGGESTIONS TO COMMISSION.

The new Water Board will organize
permanently this afternoon, and will
soon proceed to take up the matter Of
improvements to our water system. II
is exceedingly important that matter
which so vitality concerns the health OF
our people should be handled with the
greatest care and with that expedition
which is compatible with the best re-
suits. Then comes the question Of
economy, which does not mean that
only a small amount shall be spent,
but that for every dollar paid out the
city shall have dollars worth Of
value.
We wish TO further these ends and
not to hinder and we submit it as our
opinion that sang filtration is probably
the only system that win prove satis-
factory, and that TO provide for the
demands Of the future a large sum of
money will be required. If all the
above IS admitted, then all that re-
mains is to set about getting what we
want.
We are strongly of the opinion that
the circumstances call for new deal;
that the commission should regard all
past negotiations as Off and begin de
novo. We are certain that the people
expect this, and that they have reason
for their position. Consequently,
recommendations are in order. We
suggest that where such an outlay is
involved It would be wise to spend a
Few thousand dollars as a preliminary
10 deciding on amy specific PLAN. II
the commission would employ two ex-
pert water engineers who shall have
no interest IN the construction OF the
plant to look over the ground, to ex-
anime the old filter and then draw
plans providing for the system we re-
Qulre then we should have something
definite to go upon.

ness men. but they are not experts

fessor charges that ideas that make

Doing Away with Topmasts.
From the Boston Herald.

AA'hi Nht boSlph neldius
II Is no uncommon sight on our
coast TO see small schooners unprovid-
ed with topmasts but we think that
the Quinebaug. which was recently
launched at Mystic, Ct. is the first
four-master on this coast that will not
carry topmasts. This is rather an in
terestng experiment. The objection to
topmasts Is that they add considerable
weight and a large amount of gear for
rather limited area OF canvas. Be
sides thar their use necessitates the
sending of men aloft to furl sails, quite
an additional amount of work when
one bears I'm mind the very limited
crews carried on fore and aft rugged
vessels in our coastwise trade. Doing
away with topmasts win make a home
ly rig. but we should not be surprised

be Il profitable one.

There are two kinds Of
emulsions of cod liver oil
SCOTS and all the others.
Not one of the latter is as
valuable as SCOTS Emulsion
and there's a reason for it.
Only the purest ingredients
enter our Emulsion and its
quality never varies. That is
why it helps when all others
fail.
There's not much oil in
the market now; its scarce
and high in price. But seal
oil and other inferior oils are
cheap and plentiful. That's
why you can buy SO many
substitutes for SCOTS Emul-
sion at a lower price.
We guarantee our Emul-
sion to be the best remedy
for weak lungs, low vitality
and wasting conditions. Who
guarantees the others?
