possibility Of the Mcbride crowd Sc

running the same as they may see fit.
Both factions are actively at work
among the faithful throughout the
county and each precinct in the county
is being canvasseG.
Several of the prominent Mcbride re-
publicans state that it is imma teral to
them if there is one or two cOnven-
tons. They feel confident that they
have got the best of the fight. and some
are willing to wager that Walla Walla

GOOD SUGGESTIONS.

Tie Mayors suggestions as to a
police cou IT, police headquarters, i'm
provements at the @ ity hall, fire proof
vault for city papers and the like,
are excellent and should not be ig-
nored. Perhaps the aldermen will
wait until some of these are destroyed
before they appreciate the necessity of
taking the best of care of them. Re-
corder Pickersgill's communication
regarding the condition of the lookup
is timely and if Alderman Smith can
succeed in getting the Committed Of
the Whole to Investigate, it may benr
some fruit. The lookup is a disgrace,
a filthy hole unfit for animals, let a.
lone human beings. 1t should be rem
edied Thore are plenty Of things that
can be done for the city and, although
it costs money and much loss Of pro-.
perty to get the city fathers to realize
these things, ii t is to be hoped it will
not all be in vain.

Strategics Of q Possible Russo
Japanese War.

On the eve of possible conflict in
the far East, 1t would not be easy to
make an accurate comparison of the
forces, either land troops or on sea,
that might be brought into the the
ater of action. Both sides have en-
deavored to shield their more recent
movements from publicity as far as
possible. II war should break out,
many European and some American
engineers and travellers declare that
the Trans-Siberian Railroad would
fail to serve Russia effectively. They
declare that this single-track road Is
too badly built to meet great mill
tary emergency, and that it doubtless
could and would be cut in many
places by Japanese engineers dis
guised as Chinese coolies, who are
said to be already disturbed along the
line of this road for the very purpose
of destroying it. AS for naval opera
tions, it has been intimated from Rus
sian sources that the Cars policy
would be strictly Fabian one; that
is to say, the Russian ships would not
fight, but would keep safe shelter un-
der the great guns of Port Arthur,
which is now regarded as an impreg-
nable fortress. In like manner it Is
intimated that Russia might, for the
present, at least, avoid active engage
ments on the land, allowing the Jap
anese to swarm into Korea, in due time
exh austing their resorses without
having chance to get at the Musco-
vite enemy. Thus, if in the harshness
of winter the japanese should hurl
themselves into the teeth of the stu.
alton, the Russian ships and troops
would be safe enough at Port Arthur.
Valdivostok could not be approached.
And for the Japanese to march for
ward into Manchuria to fight the Rus
sian host would be to invite the sort
of disaster that overlook the French
under Napoleon when they braved a
Russian winter and marched to Mos
