In the Far East. The term "unex-
pected" Is used advisedly becaus
at no time since the controversy
begun has Russia intended to en-
gage In actual hostilities with ia
pan. 1t has long been the policy of
Russia to push negotiations to the
very brink of war and then to com
promise as advantageously as pos
sible trusting to such turn OF events
In the future as may secure the de-
sired end, and this policy has al
most always resulted In Russia o.
tanning what she wanted without
Iesorting to arms. This policy has
been pursued not so mach from
necessity, for Russia Is burdened
with an enormous debt and IS con-
stantly threatened with uprisings
of her over taxed and illtreated
people, rendering indulgence In
war almost prohtbitive. This policy
was being pursued when, with pa
tience exhausted by apparently I'M
necessary delays, japan severed
diplomatic relations and forced
Russia to war
There Is, however, some ground
for Russia's claim that Japan acted
In a manner unprecedented In his
tory, for IL Is true that Russia's
reply was In the hands OF the Rus
sian ambassador at Toxic ready for
delivery when Japan broke diplo
matte relations, a fact which ap
pears to have been known to the
Jap,nes. minister Of foreign affairs
Tnts fact also supplies basis for the
Russian claim that Japan cared
nothing for this reply, she waiting
for 1t onlp so long as her newly
bought cruisers might be In danger
from Russian vessels. On the 9TH
er hand, Russia has, by protecting
negotiations, been able to mobilize
700, 900 men In Manchuria and Sc
cure repairs to several vessels that
were not fit for active service, an
employment of tim gained which
can as we'll be interpreted by Japan
as the cause and purpose of delay
In the delivery of the reply for
which Japan waited so long. Russia
certainly made the most of the
time that she gained and on this
score'has nothing to complain of,
though her contention that Japan
should have received her reply be-
fore breaking relations has some
force. All this Is but trivial com
pared with the main question at Is
sue, which Is briefly stated, "Shall
Russia absorb China and monopo.
lie the trade of the far East"
This Is a question of almost as
much interest to European nations
and the United States as to Japan,
and 1t Is question the settlement
of which will not devolve wholly
upon Japan, though the little island
kingdom has undertaken the task,
for neither Europe nor the United
States will place themselves under
obligation to Japan as they would
have to If they allowed the japanese
single handed to fight the most
powerful nation on the face of the

a fight. If 1t did, two such coun
tries as Japan and Russia would
rhink twice before coming 10 blows
IN a conf ct which will result In
financial disaster to both, whatever
the outcome The cost of war Is
one of the least considerations
peihaps the very least-a nation
ever advances, Dut with examples
of the past before them, it ought
to be the first, after the question OF
national honor has been satisfac-
torially settled. Financially, the
effect of war does not cease with
war itself. but for years and years
the burden is born, only to be
changed usually, at the time when
the people think they have IL nearly

NJ one can doubt that 1t will still
be years before the effects of the
war will pass away.

integrity, and In spite Of certain
financial disaster, and an equally
certain destruction of the manhood
of both nations. Tne result, In all
probability, will be that neither
Japan nor Russia will find 1t worth
the price.
Thus far Japan has been the
most successful in the struggle, but
her victories have bee due In great
part, to surprises sprung on the
enemy and accidents to their war
vessels. When the number of
soldiers composing the standing
army of each country are taken In.
to consideration, we connot clearly
conceive Japan's hope for victory.
Russia has 1876 468 oldiers, while
Japan has only I4o, ,961.

may be that the man had not taken 2

difference tc The Knocker. His ambi-
ton is to knock. and that gratified. he
gives no thought to the consequences.
A young lady Is observed walking on
the street with a man. AS 500 as he
sees them the Knocker pulls down his
vest and becomes active. The lady's
name is handed around promiscuously
and at the end she Is credited with q
reputation anything but white. Thou

en- to suicide and others TO deeper
depths of degradation by the venomous
remarks of the moral leper, the Knock
or.
In society the Knocker Is also to be
found. Here that parasite delights in
peddling the latest gossip. A breath Of
scandal is nectar to his lips and the
spreading Of tales a delight. Through
the Knockers efforts cliques are form
ed. The members of one circle will
not associate with those of another. A
feeling Of Jealousy is aroused and car
ried to an unreasonable extent. 1t soon
becomes SO strong that If one family
employees a certain physician some Of
the friends of another practitioner are
vexed and the first family is cut off the
visiting lists Of the others. The same
condition exists in regard to attorneys,
merchants, artisans and In fact all lines
Having succeeded in thus creating a
turmoil the Knocker chuckles and
smiles at the vicious work.
Verify. the Knocker is a creature Of
evil moment. He views life and thinks
through the eyes Of q pessimist, and
his influence is felt in all communities
The only way to kill that influence is
for other people to look upon matters
optimistically, to pull together, to ere
ate a feeling Of harmony and SO work
to the end the people may be benefited
When this is done the Knocker will
find his vocation gone and. while he
never entirely ceases his disgusting
habit Of h%ammering. he will be so eff
~fectually squelched that he will be glad
to keep silence, though he grumbles at
the fate he has brought upon himself.
