Joint Meeting of Commissioners.

\ joint meeting of the Montour and
Northumberland County Commission
ers was held in this city on Saturday.
Messrs. Coouer, Raudenbush and Beck
of Northumberland county were pre-
sent along with the full board of
MOntour-Cooper. Cook and Leighow.
The business before the two boards
related solely to joint county bridges.
One Of the propositions was "a new
bridge over Beaver Run in Limestone
township, which was ordered built.
At the bridge over the ChillIsquaquc
in Liberty township new abutments
are needed which were ordered re-
built
Tho two remaining spans of the riv-
er bridge were considered at some
length, but no definite action was tax
en- The probability seems to be that
the remaining spans Will fall into the
hands of the contractor who builds the
bridge.

LIE HEST BLOOD.

The first battle Of the Far Eastern
war ends Ia a victory for Japan. There
is a disposition in certain quarters TO
criticlse Japans attack as not being
sanctioned by the rules Of war, but
not much attention viii DO paid to this,
as formal declarations OF war are the
exception. Besides. it is wen known
that Russia had already made moves
that were equivalent to a recognition Of
a state Of war. Somebody had to fire
the first shot. and Japan did not pro-
pose to send polite note Of her in
tontions to the representatives. Of the
Gear at Port Arthur.
Having drawn first blood, the Jap
anese will be inspired by confidence
which win I'll her people and cause
them to rush into the fray with en-
thuslasm. There is no surprise that the
advantage at first should rest with the
japanese. but the expectation is that
Russian numbers, resources and en-
durance win eventually crush out the
japanese.
There is a possibility that this is a
mistaken view II may be that Japan
win deal such effective blows that Rus
sia may agree to settlement Of the
dispute by arbitration or by mutual
concessions. but this is highly lmprob-
able. But It Is certain that Japan has
never forgiven Russia for taking the
fruits Of her victory over China, and
she win put forth every effort tc
compel her antagonist to evacuat,
Manchuria.
one by one the European nations are
declaring neutrality, and this, Of
course. VIII be the position Of tho
United States. There is no conceivable
grounds on which we could NEEDLE
