NEWS OF THE WEEK


treat of the Russians either way. The
Russian general must believe that he
has sufficient force to whip the three
japanese armies that confront him,
forming line nearly 100 miles long.
Henry Gassaway Davis is a fit run
ming mate of Parker and the mem
ton Of his name gives delight to Wall
street He is the president of two
railroads, director iii four national
banks, and along with his Son-in-law,
Elkins, controls most of the coal fields
OF West Virginia. BY all means let
the Nebraska pops fuse with him.
1t turns out that the Japanese tried
to play scnrvy trick on the Russian
commander and set afloat the story
that they had lost 10000 men in an
attack on Port Arthur, when there
was not shot fired on either day
that the battle was said to have been
fought. The object was to get the
Russian commander Of the northern
forces to advance on the suppositiOn
that the Japanese army surrounding
Port Arthur was practically annihi-
lated The trick did not win out.
A thing has occurred that puts a
new phase upon the whole war ques-
ton The Russians passed two steam
ers under commercial flags from the
Black sea through the Bosphorus and
as soon as they were in the Red sea
armed themselves with guns hidden
in their. holds and began to search
and capture German and English
ships. They took mail bags from a
German ship, and took as a prize an
English ship, put prize crew aboard
of her and started her for the nearest
Russian port. Germany has pro-
tested vigorously, and the British gov
eminent has ordered large fleet of
warships to the Mediterranean. The
last accounts were to the effect that
two British cruisers were guarding the
captured British ship at the mouth OF
the Suez canal.
All England is aflame with the war
spirit and demanding that Russia must
apologize, denounce the acts OF its
naval officers or fight. On top of that
comes the news that France is mo-
bilizing her whole naval forces and
has ordered every man and officer on
leave to return Immediately to his
ship. The probability is that Russia
will apologize.
Several thousand men in the pack
ing houses at Chicago and other pack
ing centers are out on strike. The
latest news is to the effect that pack
ing magnates have made new over
lures to the labor organizations and
the strike may be settled.

Political Notes

The New York dailies are claiming
that the Jews will save Maryland TO
the democratic party. lsador Raynor
was recently elected senator IN that
state and he will Immediately take the
field for Parker. He is very effec-
tive speaker. The New York papers
have not learned that there will be a
fully organized populist party to meet
in Maryland.

SOMETHING DOING.

Hon. James H. Ferriss, who was
chosen chairman of the peoples party
national committee at Springfield, has
gone actively at work, as everybody
knew he would do, and is doing
things" In letter he says that he
has put j. H. Calderhead in charge of
Idaho, Washington, Montana, Oregon,
and Wyoming, to see to it that the
party is thoroughly organized in those
states and electoral tickets put in the
field Immediately. Mr.. Calderhead is
auditor of the state of Montana. a
pOpukst from the crown of his head
to the sOles of his feet, successful
business man, and an untiring work
er. 1t will not be long before he has
things humming in those states.
Mr.. Ferriss has assigned the states
Of Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado, North
and South Dakota, to Mr.. ]. H. Edmis-
ten. Edmisten as campaign worker
has few equals, having managed sew
eral successful state campaigns IN Ne

bull pup and as active as a wildcat
The states assigned to him will soon
be in fighting trim
| Mr.. FerriSS concludes his letter with
these words: From all points that
can hear, the democrats are desert

be as great slump as it was IN the
last Lincoln campaign, when the
democrats put out their peace plat

Paul Kruger, whose name will be

days were peaceful While his bodily
powers were constantly decreasing
from old age, he would sit for hours
with his Bible on his knees repeating
passages from memory which he could
not read because of his failing eye

enemies thought they were conquer

more about platforms than the SUI
preme court does about the constitu-
ton.
The cuts Of Henry G. Davis, 81 years
old, democratic candidate for vice
president, which are being printed in
all of the republican daiIies, repre-
sent him as young man OF about
thirty-flve. That is about as truth
full representation OF facts as is
ever found in the dailies.
Carter Harrison is getting up great
meeting in Chicago to which he has
invited Judge Parker, Bryan. Towne
and Champ Clark, and those distln-
guished gentlemen are all to appear
on the same platform.
The great republican papers are still
crowded with complimentary notices
OF Judge Parker. Every compliment
tary incident about the judge that can
be found or invented Is given great
space, while poor Teddy does not get
even ten lines. The great republican
dailies are owned by Wall street CAPT.
talists and Wall street is for Parker.
Did ever any democratic candidate re-
ceive such treatment from republican
daiiies before? In 1896 those same
papers declared that Bryan was a
pauper, could not make money enough
to support his family and was seek
ing an engagement as an actor. This
bold and open advocacy of Parker by
the whole republican press is some
what of an establishment to the old
political stagers OF the democratic
party.
