a Russian mine and later attempted

water.
TIE loss Of the Yashima has been
concealed by the japanese, though the
Russian authorities have believed for
some time That the reports that the
battleship had been destroyed were
correct. 1t is important, since it is now
disclosed that Japan has only four

they being greatly superior to the
Russian in this respect.

The Differences.

The Wilmington Star says: tom
watson is dcnouncing the Hon. Will
liam Jennings Bryan for supporting
Judge Parker. Colonel Bryan is open
iy making fight for the candidate
whom he wants elected, while Wat
son, under the pretence that he is a
candidate himself, is bushwhacking
for Roosevelt. That Is the difference
between statesman like Bryan and a
poltrOOn like Watson.

sECRET SOCIETIES.

What is the moral effect of Free
Masonry: Odd Fellowship, knights Of
Labor and the numerous secret socie
ties upon the home? Solomon, the
wise man, said: Discover not secre
I'd another" and be had good reasons
tor laying such an injunction, for in
his time, as at the present, there were
people too much disposed to tel all
they knew. One half the trouble in
every community, comes from the fact
that so many people have not the CT
pacity to keep their mouths shut. We
have two ears but only one tongu.
which is suggestive OF the fact that
we should hear more than we tell. BY
the power OF secret divulgcd, iami

nations fly apart. BY the p Iwer Of a

discussed question whether associa-
lions that DO not have their work with
closed do)rS, and admit tner members
with pl's words, and greet each other
WITH secret grip are right or wrong.
our answer is that it depend entirely
upon the object for which they IN aet.
If it Is to pass the hours in reyelry
and obscene talk, or to plot trouble
to the state, then we say with an EN-.
pnasis that it Is wrong. But where the
ob1cct is the Improvement of the
mind, the enlargement of the heart,
the defense Of the government, then
we say with just as much emphasis
that they are blessing. There is no
need that those who plan for right
over wrong should publish TO the
world their intentions. Secretary of

! The warfare against the gas trust
| which was begun by the newspapers
of this city about month or two ago,
has ended and everything is as serene
! as ever. Similar warfares have been
! about month or two before the time
for opening the bids for furnishing
i light to the city. Just about the same
| time every year the discovery is made
! that the gas furnished by the gas trust
is of poor quality and complaints
pour in from every part of the city.
The object of that procedure is quite
obvious. Those who instigate the
campaign hope to compel the gas trust
to make concessions to pacify public
opinion as represented by the papers.
Strange to say, that policy invariably
fails and never was the result more ne
gative and the failure more pronounced
than this year. Excepting trivial
each gas lamp the prices charged by
the companies that submitted the bids
for lighting the city We're the same as
last year. 1t is evident from the atti-
tude that the trust does not fear any
lOca developments or any legislation
in Albany that would endinger its
monopoly. The papers that have been
the most bitter in Waging war against
the gas trust have nothing to say now.
and, in fact, have not had much to say
for some little time. BY peculiar CO.
incidence those papers spiked their
guns exactly at the time when an at
tractive and conspicuous advertisement
inserted by the gas company made its
