Political Notes.

Political Notes.
The most interesting bit of political news last
week was David 3. Hills announcement-on the
celebration of his s~ixty-frst birthday-that he
would retire from politics after January list. The
announcement came as a great surprise. After a
period of innocuous desuetude, Hill emerged into
political prominence again last year as the man.
ager of the Parker campaign, and in this work he
has been so eminently successful that many people
have expected Parker to reward him with a Cabi-
net position, in case of a Democratic victory this
fall. In fact, it has been generally said in New
York that Hill would be Parker's Secretary of
State, and this statement-owing to HilPs I'M
popularity-was probably damaging Parker's
chances. Hill is a man to whom politics has been
food and drink, wife and child. He has played
it as a great game. In 1892 he hoped to win the
Democratic nomination for the Presidency, and if
Cleveland had been reelected in 1888, thus barring
him from the field in 1892, Hill might have reach
ed the White House. He did not take an active
part in the campaign of 1896. As he said in a now
famous letter to a political friend, II am a Demo-
cratic stiD-very stil.o In 1900 he supported
Bryan, but without much enthusiasm. Returning
from the convention which nominated the Ne
braskan, he declared that presidents are like
sausages: you like them better if you don't see
ChChI "ouO' -" Oo1 w. ooOSO oANOA %
prominently mentioned as the Democratic for
Governor of New York, and it has been charged
ever since that Hill forced the nomination of
Coler, a weaker candidate, on account of jealousy
of Parker. Hill, it is said, feared that Parker
would be elected Governor and thus gain such
prominence as to capture the Democratic Presi-
Dental nomination this year-a prize which Hill
himself still had lingering hopes of obtaining.
When no Hill sentiment developed, however, he
took charge of the Parker campaign and carried
it to a successful issue. It may not appear on the
surface, but it must be true that the great New
York politician quits his career a disappointed
man.
On page 5 we are printing sketches and pictures
of the Presidential possibilities. It is interesting
to note that of the four men, tkree-Parker,F Fair
banks, and Davis-were reared on the farm.

Lao Yang"
The Japanese Again Victorious.
We had felt that at Lao Yang, sheer luck, If
nothing else, might bring victory to the Russian
arms; but again the Cars telegram to kuropat-
kin must read, Congratulations on your gallant
flight" For while the Russian government an
nounced that General Kuropatkin's move is not
to be considered as a retreat, but rather as the
carrying out of a well-defined idea" the aforesaid
well-defned idea seems to have been nothing
more nor less than a desire to get out OF reach OF
the terrible little yellow men. The magazines at
Lao Yang we're blown up, the enormous quanti-
ties of army stores and provisions were fired, and
the Japanese flag now flies over the former cit
adel of the Russians. Meanwhile Kuropatkin's
fleeing army has been divided-thus lessening the
chances of his relieving Port Arthur. The Jap
anese estimate their own losses since August %
at $4,000, and the Russian losses at 10000.

At Port Arthur.
The eyes of the world were turned to Lao Yang
last week, and in the excitement Port Arthur was
almost forgotten. In fact, there seems to have
been but little action of Importance in the neigh
borhood of the beleaguered city. "The siege" as
the Country Gentleman of September Bird OBJ
serves, has already gone on long enough to be
reckoned one of the most important in history.

and a half; and General Stoessel undoubtedly in

is said to have telegraphed to a friend, farewell

grapple of strong nations in deadly earnest, striv-
ing to the uttermost limit of their powers. And
it is the first siege of a great fortress equipped
with modern armament. The strongholds of the
Boer war, Ladysmith, Mafeking and Kimberley,
were not as strong geographically as Port Arthur,
and all were relieved by forces fighting under the
same flag. Sir George White held Ladysmith 11s
days before the English came to his rescue; Kim
berley stood out 1913 days, and Baden-Powell held
Mafeking for an even longer time. But these
towns had no such force or such a number Of
guns against them as the Japanese are now using
in their offensive operations"
In this connection it should be said that the
Russian navy in the Far East has now been re-
duced to a mere remnant of it's former strength.
Only four important Japanese vessels have been
lost, while we could fill half a column with a mere
statement of the Russian disaster, the value of
the Cars vessels damaged and sunk being esti-
mated at more than $75, OOO, 900.
