The Only WaX.

The Boston Herald says a little re-
Election has brought the Democracy to
realize that not all the protectionists
are in the Republican party. This is
true. Many a Democrat has seen the
efficacy Of protection demonstrated
time and again until he has come to
see that, after ALL it is the desirable
policy for this country to maintain.
Still, the leaders who will control the
course of the Democratic party are
most of them committed to the very
opposite tariff theory, and If we are
10 have any assurance Of maintaining
the tariff protective policy. the only
way is to keep in power the party
that established it as the policy Of the
government in opposition to the deter
mined resistance Of the Democratic
leaders--Shelbyville (Ind.) Republic

JAPAN MAY YIELD
But She VIII Reserve all Rights on the
Premises.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 20.-The Chi
nese minister came TO st. Petersburg
from his seaside villa and conferred
with several ambassadors regarding
developments in the Ryeshitelni incl
dent. The general impression in dip
lomatic circles here is that Japan may
yet change her mind and surrender
that vessel to the care of some neu-
trail power, reserving all rights. Such
a course, it is pointed out, would
strengthen Japans position and at the
same time avoid the possibility OF
complications affecting Chinas neu-
trality.

ENGLAND to Fight Russia.

London, Aug. 2o.-EneIand is pre-

government has determined to resist

claim of the right to sink neutral

for ports where Russian ships may
be met will be escorted by British
Warships.
They will have orders to fire on
the Russian ships if any attempt is
made to interfere with British mer-
chant marine.

Louisville, KY, Aug. 1S.-Under
fair skies twenty-six brigades of the
uniform rank knights of Pythias over
10000 strong paraded the street.
Over 100000 people lined the route of
the parade which was three miles in
length. The pageant was gorgeous
success. General Carnahan, comman-
der-in-chief, was grand marshal of the
day.
The Philippine constabulary band,
which led the parade was one of the
features receiving a tremendous ova-
ton along the route.

much damage has been done to roads
and bridges. The new wagon bridge

900 men out of work, including skilled

Must Protect All Alike.

Those Republicans who are urging
free trade with Canada or with other
countries can scarcely accept the dec.
iaration that protection is cardinal
principle of the Republican party.
Protection must protect all alike or it
is unfair. Reciprocity that proposes
to swap one industry away in order to
benefit another is not the reciprocity
declared for in the Chicago platform.
where it commits the party only to a
reciprocity that shall work no injury
to American agriculture, American la
Dor or American industry.-Adel Qa.)

been about completed and it is reauy
to report to the City Council as soon
as meeting of that body can be had.
While the committee is not really
understood that it's final report de
pends on the legal status of the dam
which extends about IA miles alo :
the east bank of the Rocky Arroyo.
This dam seems to be the cause of
the large amount of water that at
times is turned down the Hondo. If
liability the dixie built by the city
along the banks of the Hondo would
have restrained the waters, and if
the dam had not broken during the
flood and had turned all the waters
down the Hondo, then the Roswell
food would have been many times
worse than it was.
So before making it's final rapCrc
the committee is hesitating as to
what disposition is to be made of
this dam. If it is to be repaired and
retained the city will have a very
large amount of water to take care
Of If it is to be torn down and the
waters allowed to take their natural
course the problem that the city has
to deal with is a very simple one
1t would seem that the question IS
purely legal one. There is no
need for any personal feelings. If
the parties who maintain the dam
there have a legal right to keep it
there, well and good, the city must
face the serious situation before it
as to food protection. If it stands
there a menace to public safety and
without legal right the city can re-
move it, if it so desires. The mat
ter resolves itself merely into a ques-
ton of legal right.
LATER.-The Council has been
