The Eastern War CIond

London, Dec. official London now
regards the far eastern situation far more
serious that at any time since the dis
pute arose between Japan and Russia
over the evacuation of Manchuria by
Russia. The Manchester Dispatch in
dispatch published in that newspaper
today says: II think am perfectly
justified in stating that not only our own
government, but also the American gov
eminent, has given up all hope of a
peaceable issue of the far eastern situa-
ton" Baron Hayashi, japanese Min
lister in London, denies the report that
the basis for a treaty between japan and
Russia has been agreed upon. He says
negotiations to this end are still proceed
ing between the two countries, but that
matters have been somewhat delayed by
the growing irritation of the japanese
against the Russians at Danny, the new
city near Port Arthur.

In COMPARISON with numbers, it Is
known that the United States army costs
far more to maintain than does any other
army in the world, yet Gen. Bliss in his
annual report, as president of the war
college, characterizes the army in these
terms: STEADY decadence and COM
plete dry rot" To neglect of study
after leaving West Point he attributes
the lamentable condition of the service.
The officers, he says, not only fail to
progress, as they should, but forget much
which they learned in the academy.
This is not gratifying intelligence to
the people who are taxed so heavily to
make their army "the finest"

AN EFFORT by the democrats IN Con-
oress to draw out the entire evidence In
General BristOw's report concerning
postal scandals by means of Congress
sional investigation is opposed by the
republicans, who claim that no good
purpose would be served by such an in
yestigation in view of the fact that Gen
eral Bristow has gone so thoroughly into
the subject moreover, not only has the
attorney general advised against such
an investigation, but the President has
expressed himself against 1t for the
ALLEGED reason that it would give In
formation to those indicted and not yet
tried that might embarrass the government
in its prosecution of the cases. The full
report made by General Bristow con-
tains 1000 words, from which but
Is, 900 we're published Monday. So the
general public, after all, are to get but
glimpse of the crookness which has per
vaded certain portions of the postal ser
vice for the himsy reason that those al
ready indicted might profit by a full
report.

REV. HAMILTON SCHUYLER, of the
Episcopal Church, of Trenton, n. D.,
in his last sermon declared that the
church should not look with disfavor
upon the temperate use of wine. He
said it was alike contrary to the spirit of
Scripture and to the dictates of common
sense to attempt to prohibit everybody
without regard to temperament or habit
from indulging in the use of into1icants.
Mr.. Schuyler takes practical, common
sense view of the temperance question.
With his ideas the evil of iDtemperance
can bemetmuch better than with those OF
the prOhibitiOnists.
