Whist Does He Mean?

Judge PARKER asserts that "a free
people cannot withhold freedom from
another people and themselves be free.
This Is fine, metallic, epigrammatic
sound. What Is the sense OF itP
It s only aplay Of words. Only Jug
Cling with an underlined meaning Of
free and freedom"
In the sense of full political and civil
rights the Indians have not been free.
Alaska IL not free. The negroes in most
Southern States are not free.
To tell the truth, this sentence in Judge
PARKER's letter is great nonsense. 1t
must have been stuck in at the solicita-
ton of some Mugwump sentimentalist
who believes that the United States is
going to lose its liberties because the
Moros have not yet been taken by the
neck and made to adopt and appreciate
jury trial, and because the Head Hun
ters are not yet subject to thepoll tax.

Plus X. and the Non Expedit."


There Is ono burning question In Italy which
never loses It's vital interest. nsfney whether cleri-
eals should take part In the political life OF the
country, now forbidden by the Church. On this
subject the seeoio says:
There are hfty-eight candidates who ask the
Vatican for the authorization to enter Parliament.
The Secretary OF State. Cardinal Merry del Val
scconding the humor Of Plus X. who has always
had weakness for politics, has arrived at a de-
cision a discourse on the following lines will be
made TO the would-be Deputies: AS the non ex :

conscience. but not faith or dogma, Is involved,

To Teach Commercial Subjects I'm Every

Business Of importance was transacted
at the meeting of officers and committees
OF the Catholic Young Mems National
Union. held yesterday afternoon in Cathedral
College in this city. The national officers
were in attendance, as well as the executive
committee. special committee on evening
schools and national committee. The meet
ing was largely attended.
Attention was called to the fact that
Carroll Institute Of WashingtonND., c.,
has decided to open an evening school
on Oct. II for instruction to young men
at nominal charge in commercial pursuits.
1t was decided to endeavor to open similar
schools in all the larger cities Of the country,
and to establish a national examining
board whose duty it shall be to give ex-
aminations annually to the students in
these schools. 1t is also intended that
the board shall award diplomas to students
passing the examinations.
It was decided to make a systematic
canvass OF Catholic clubs and societies
with view to increasing the member
ship Of the national union.

MnLARD says that he watched with
care for several months the operation
OF the railway, which is the sole feeder
OF the Russian army, and he asserts that
the daily average Of requirements
since the war began has only a little
exceeded 400 men with their equip
ment and stores. The maximum of
speed was reached in the transporta-
ton Of the tenth army corps from Russia.
In this case thirty-four. days elapsed
from the time when the first troops be-
longing to the corps reached Maoyang
until the last arrived. Mr.. WILLARD
doubts whether this pace can be main
tanned He directs attention to the fact
that with the arrival Of more troops the
burden Of transporting their supplies
increases in proportion and becomes
an additional tax on the carrying capac-
aty Of the railroad. Moreover, the un-
usual strain soon began to tell on the
roadbed and rolling stock, and even in
July continual repairs were needed.
Allowing for the better management
that may be expected TO follow expe-
rience, Mr.. WILLARD does not believe
that an average Of 1000 men day, or
anything like it, can be kept UP.
We come, lastly, to the question how
many men KURoPATKIN had at his dis
posal at the time when he was forced to
evacuate Liaoyang. Mr.. WILLARD says
that in his opinion the total Russian
force available on July IA for field opera-
lions in central and southern Manchuria
did not exceed at the outside 10000 Of
all arms. II all the units had been in full
the total force would have been
nearly 10000; but, as a matter Of fact,
a majority Of the regiments had been
weakened by casualties and disease.
Mr.. WILLARD, being in the Russian camp,
is, Of course, unable to say how large
were the Japanese forces opposed to
but he believes them to
have been stronger by some so per cent.
Readers Of his article are likely to con-
cur with Mr.. WILLARD in thinking that
in view Of the comparative ease and
rapidity with which the Japanese can
repair their losses it Is hard to SEQ when,
Il ever, Gen. KURoPATKIN will be strong
enough to take the offensive with fair
of success. He says that the
nan who can feel optimistic over the |
outlook for the Russian army in Man
,huria must give greater credit to staff |
reports than he, with his experience, is
able to do.

tated the taking down OF the walls Of three
houses. which practically ruined them.
The commissioners called in real estate
experts, who declared that the award made
to Mr.. De Peyster was full value.

and decreased in Others during the thunder
storm. Where the pressure was greater
the water was forced downward and nat
