Balancing the Scales.

Writing to an American. Professor Goldwin Smith, the distinguished Canadian philosopher. presents, in a few words the most common- sense view of the Russo Japanese conflict that we have yet seen:
 Our sympathy is naturally drawn to Japan, as a comparatively small state confronting the Russian Colossus and displaying wonderful patriotisn.. daring and resource in the conflict. Japan, moreover, is interesting as newcomer into the circle o, civilized nations and champion of those east ern races which have hitherto been trodden under foot by the overbearing rapacity of the west.
 still we must be just. It can scarce ly be doubted that from the time when the treaty with Great Britain was made Japan contemplated war, and to that extent may be held responsible for the present appeal to arms.
 What are the objects of war on either side? Are they in themselves naturally legitimate or not? In them selves. it would seem. that on both sides they are. Japan not unreasonGbly de-

The Discouraged Negro.

Significant and pathetic is the deci- sion of William Benjamin Derrick, presiding bishop of the New York diocese of the African Methodist Epis- copal church. to go to the land of his forefathers in Africa because he is weary and discouraged over the race question.
 There is no country for the negro. ' says Bishop Derrick sadly "l believe that across the seas there is a wider and better field for me. We are hu- man beings with souls. and We believe that God is just. When the negro shows the spirit of peace and brother ly love the white man calls him a coward. When the negro strikes back if he is struck he is not tolerated. When the negro is burned at the stake and his home burned over his head do not advise retaliation: that would he brutal. The conditions that con- front the race here are grievous.''

PHOENIX. ARIz. MARCH 27, 1s(
Forbidding the Ceremony.

The cartoon which we reproduce this morning from the Denver Republican hits of quite correctly the statehood situation Congress is determined to join the two territories in union which is unwelcome to both bride and groom. Usually, at least one of the parties to a wedding ceremony is. anx- ious to go ahead with the proceedings. hence the situation presented now is unique The magistrate alone is pro- posing that there shall be a marriage.
 Perhaps, however. the families of the high contracting parties will be able to prevent the union. Certainly the ob- jections are numerous and claIrorous. Our latest advices from New Mexico are that joint statehood is quite as un- welcome over there as it is here.
 Let us hope that congress will real ize before 1t is too late that the good of the public morals does not require Arizona and New Mexico to be joined together.

sires to keep the neighboring regions clear of unfriendly occupation with view to her security, to her expansion. and perhaps to the provision of homes hereafter for her redundant population. Russia, on the other hand. a great in land empire. craves for ports on m open sea. A wise and benevolent ar bitter might possibly find a way of reconciling these interests without all the carnage. suffering and havoc of war which after all can decide only. a ques- ton of force, not one of right But such at present is not the way, nor anything like the way. of the world.
 "Russias object is natural and de- serves consideration. Why should there be such a determination to prevent her from reaching an open sea? Suppose her navy were admitted to the Med iterranean, why should it be more hos tile to Great Britain than the other navies that are there? Before the Crimean war Russia was EnglandS fir1nest friend. Disraeli while he was in power. infused his feeling of race into the foreign policy of Great Brit ain. But why English statesmen in general should De so anti-Russian it has always seemed to be to be difficult to tell. That Russia threatens British empire in India is not the belief of cool headed Anglo-Indian statesmen. If Russia is now by Japan, with British encouragement, repelled from the Pa oific, she may be thrown again upon the Dardanelles, and there may be trouble once more in that quarter.
 Russia is an autocracy. at present unavoidably so. But she has enamel pated the serfs. Some of the features of her home government are odious and are provoking insurrection among her people. But trustworthy observers tell us that her rule in the dependen- cies is better than it is at home. There seems no reason to doubt the sincerity of her sympathy with your republic in its agony of secession. You and she had enemies in common.
 "Is 1t not possible that the war. neither party being able to strike it's opponents heart, may end in a dead lock, and that a way may be opened for mediation? Such d result would be welcomed by all friends of humanity"
 NIT. Smith balances the scales with rare justice. and he undoubtedly takes, m general way. the viewpoint which nearly all Americans will occupy ulti- mately-provided the interests of the United States do not become involved.

Treat Catarrh in Spring.

The spring is the time to treat catarrh. Cold, wet winter weather often retards a cure of catarrh. If a course of Peruna is taken during the early spring months the cure will be prompt and permanent. There can be no failures if Peruna is taken intelligently during the favorabls weather of spring.
 As systemic catarrh remedy Peruna eradicates catarrh from the system wherever it may be located. It cures catarrh of the stomach or bowels with the same certainty as catarrh of the head.
 If you do not derive prompt and satis- factory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable ad- vice gratis.

The Assault Upon Oatmeal.

A great commotion has been raised in England and Scotland by a concerted attack of the medical profession upon oatmeal as a food. A London doctor started the attack by writing a letter to the Daily Mail, in which he insisted that instead of being a wholesome and nutritious food. oatmeal is rapidly at taining the proportions of national curse" He was promptly seconded by a leading Scotch doctor who asserted that the oatmeal diet of Glasgow chill dren is directly and solely responsible city. He holds that oatmeal is not the bone-forming fool it has been con- sidered. He adds;
 Tickets is enormously on the in- crease in England, especially among the poorer classes, who. misled as to the value of oatmeal as food, give it to their children for breakfast, and 50 fill them up with a stodgy and insufIi- ciently nourishing food, instead Of more easily digested things, such as bread. meat and milk, less quantity of which would supply far more nutri- ment. People who feed their children on oatmeal are literally starving them. Oatmeal is one of the greatest bless ings the medical profession has ever known. It fills their surgeries and it increases their incomes. What the ef- feet of its increased popularity will 5e on the national physique, though, I am afraid to think"
 While so many other popular idols are tumbling to the dust under the hammers of the iconoclasts, we suN- pose it is all right to let oatmeal go with the rest.
 Really, the weight of evidence seems to be against oatmeal. Another phy- sician contends thar oatmeal break lasts are largely responsible for the failure of children in their school stud ies. The work of digesting the oat- meal mess calls for all their energies he says and as result they are stupid for hours after they have loaded their stomachs with the stuff. This, of course. is only q variation of the fa- miliar fact that mental inactivity :n either children or adults in the fore noon Is due generally to the slow and laborious digestion of the breakfast meal Oatmeal, probably. is responsi- ble for its share of the trouble. Ar other physician writes: When a maII comes to me suffering from indigestion. l say: DO you eat oatmeal?' In an- swer to the Yes which I anticipate ] reply: Drop it. That is all ths dieting prescribe. If people wogl1 eat more meat and less messes like porridge they would all be stronger. We should have fewer insipid- looking people among the ranks of our young men and women"
 Very likely, though. as in all such controversies. the truth lies between the extremists. Unquestionably oat- meal as ordinarily cooked is responsi- ble for a great deal of indigestion and mental lethargy. But cooked for sev- eral hours, as 1t should te, it is very good food-for those who like it. Bu; speaking broadly. the very fact that the Scotch, peculiarly q nation of oat- meal eaters, are nearly all dyspeptics. shifts the burden of proof to the advo- cates of oats.

 Samuel Wilberley was killed upon the railway by a passing train. His last days it appeared. had been spent in
 Edmenton workhouse. At the inquest 1t was revealed that Wilberley was an old soldier. He enlisted when only eighteen in the famous ninety fifth foot. He distinguished himself at the bat tie of the Alma, when Sir de Lacy Evans mentioned him in division or ders. In the repulse of the Russian sortie he shone anu again in the bloody grapple of Inkerman. He volunteered on one occasion to carry ammunition to the Qrarries under the deadly fire

A Whole Navy for Sale.

The republic of Panama having de- ciaed that it will not try to be one of the greatest powers of the world, has reduced its standing army to 250 men and offers it's navy for sale. Strangely enough. however. up 10 the hour of go- ing to press we have no news of an offer from either Russia or Japan. Possibly a fear Of offending the United States restraints both combatants from negotiating with Panama. but they are overlooking a great opportunity. We understand that the navy of Panama consists of one fiatboat battleship and three canoe cruisers.

DIE IN a FIRE PANIC.
Early Morning Blaze in New York Ten
ement Kills Fourteen.

In a fire in a fve-story tenement at
164 Attorney street, New York, early
Sunday morning fourteen persons, chill
dren for the most part, were killed and
more than a score were injured. Three
men are under arrest on charges of crim-
inal negligence.
The lower stories Of the building had
been almost entirely torn out to make
room for an arcade which was to run
through the lower part of the building
and Ridge street, on the east. Thirteen
Jewish families were crowded into the
three upper floors, which still were I'M
touched, and when they sought to escape
they found a partly demolished stairway
leading down from the third floor already
wrapped in flames. When they turned
to the fire escapes they found they had
been torn away below the third floor,
and descent was impossible. Some jump
ed from the lowest points they could
reach and escaped with their lives. Fire
men managed to rescue a number from
the top floor, but in doing so six men Of
the department were hurt, one so seri-
ously that he is not expected to live. The
top landing of the rear fire escape was
pulled loose from the wall while they
We're at work helping tenants and fell
five stories to the ground below.
The fire was under control within five
minutes after the men of the department
arrived, but the ignorance and excite
ment of those who first saw the blaze
delayed the sending in of an alarm. and
before the first engine arrived eight of
those in he house were unable to find
their way from the building and lost their
lives. Opening prayers for the Jewish
new year celebration began at / o'clock
Sunday morning, and that explains why
so many Of the dead were children. Their
parents were all at the synagogue when
the fire began at 2:40 in the morning.
1t is supposed that a candle left burn
ing in the hallway of the third floor
for those returning from worship caused
the fire. which swept up the stairway in
the center of the house, enveloped those
sleeping in the three upper stories, and
burst out of the roof.
