IapAN.s WAR FOOTING.

Figures of the strength of the Japan
csc army and navy will be read with
interest just at this time when both
are likely TO be soon actively engaged
in war with a first class nation.
Japan's navy consists of first-class
battleshins. which are new and up-to-
date: second-class battleship, arr
morei coast defense vessels. 6 armored
cruisers of the first class. almost equal
TO ba.tleships. 10 protected cruisers OF
the second class. protected cruisers
of the third class, 3 unprotected cruis-
ers, 20 torpedo boat destroyers. tor
pedo gunboats and a torpedo boats. To
these may be added two efficient cruis-
ers the Moreno and Rlvidavia, built
at Genoa for Argentina and recently
sold to Japan. AT the time of the war
with China Japan's navy counted but
10000 tons, but at present II has over
100000 tons The Japanese merchant
fleet. available for the transportation
of men and supplies and for convention
into swift cruisers. is large and eff
cient.
The japanese fleet is manned with
35,355 officers and men. cinsisting. as
respects rank and file. of conscripts
drawn from fishing population of
about 100000. The men are said to
be sailors by Instinct and quick to
acquire the mechanical skill required
to control the mechanism OF the modern
man-of-war.
The Japanese peace army consists OF
1875 officers and men, with a reserve
of 204,109 and second reserve of 9S.-
722, besides 1851 of special militia.
The cavalry arm in 1900 had 31,057
horses. About 100000 men can be
speedily placed in the field. AS the
population of the country in 1899 was
44,260,604 there is large population to
Gull from. The experience of the war
with China in 1895 and the more recent
Boxer war gave practical training
which must be OF value in case of con-
Gict with Russia. The Japanese infan-
try outmarched and outfought that of
any European country engaged in the
Boxer trouble.
A military correspondent OF the Lon
don Times assumes that Japan's first
movement, In case of war, will be to
Russian fleet, with view to being able
to land troops uninteruptedly in Korea
and on the Manchurian coast of the
Gulf of Pechili. The Russian fleet, he
further assumes. being aware of the
superiority OF the Japanese fleet, will
probably avoid decisive combat by
remaining in harbor under the guns of
Port Arthur and vii, there await an
opportunity to attack Japanese trans
ports should they attempt to enter the
Gulf of Pechiii. The task of the Japan
csc army will be to cut the Russian line
of communications, which is long AMI
much exposed to attack. Russla's
troops available for service in the far
east are estimated at about 100000 men,
while the Manchura railway-a tiimsy

A VETERAN HONORED.

All southern Iowa will be pleased
at the selection of Hon. Samuel A.
Moore, of Bloomfield. to be sergeant-at-
arms of the house at Des Moines. He
is pioneer citizen of this part OF the
state and has a long and distinguished
career Prior to the civil war he
served in the Indiana house OF repre-
sentatives, and he was postmaster Al
Columbus, Indiana. during the admin
istration OF President Fillmore. He has
gallant war record, having enlisted
three times as private and having
risen to the grade of lieutenant colonel.
He served two years as county judge
of Davis county, in this state. and has
been mayor and postmaster of Bloom
field He was senator in the tenth
and eleventh general assemblies and a
member of the house in the twenty
ninth general assembly Mr. Moore IS
eighty-two years of age. and just,
ranks as one of Iowa's grand old

WHAT GOVERNMENT COSTS.
dubuque Times.l
The annual report of County Auditor
Weimer shows that warrants issued
by Dubuque county the past year ag-
gregated S23037349 According to the
assessment returns just made, taxes
for the year 1904 will amount to $751;
724.7S. This includes state and school.
The city pays about two-thirds of this
tax and as much more for municipal
government. The saloonkeepers of ths
city pay mulct tax exceeding $4,000
and revenue from miscellaneous SQUIRE
es will swell to perhaps 100000 per
year the taxes paid by Juliet township
for state. county. school and municipal
government. About one-fifth of the to-
tai is paid for schools Dubuque Is ex-
ceptional in this respect among Iowa
communities. In proportion to total
cost of government the schools perhaps
cost less in Dubuque than in any other
OF Iowa.
1t is interesting to note that while
Scott county has 244 saloons Dubuque
has only 1SS, of which 1872 are in the
city. In ten years under the operation
of the mulct law the number of sal
oons in Dubuque has declined 30 to 40
per cent. while the total revenue from
them is $50 per cent of what 1t was
in 1898 and the citys revenue from
them has nearly doubled. There is
some evidence here of the value of
taxation as a means OF restraining the
liquor traffic.
