KUROPATkIN'S POSITION.

Judging by the reports, it is evident that
the Japanese largely outnumbered the forces
at his disposal. and that whatever may have
been his desire there was no intention to
sacrifice the whole OF the campaign by mailing
himself to Liaoyang.
The value of the Japanese victory will lie
rather in its moral than it's military results.

HRRS TITLE FACTORIES.p
Fraud Order Issued Against Him and HIS
Paper Institution.

WASHINGTON, Sept "A fraud order
was issued at the Post Office Department
to-day denying the use OF the mails to
William Farr, dean; William Farr, president;
William M. Farr, and William Farr, the
Nashville College Of Law, the American
College OF Law, the University Of Washing
ton, the Washington Memorial University
OF American Law, and the Washingtonan.
These institutions, branded by the De-
partment as title factories and alleged
to exist only on paper, were founded by
Farr, who it is said was compelled to leave
Tennessee on account of tho operations
OF the Nashville College OF Law, which
he brought back TO life again in this city.
In the opinion handed down by Assistant
Attorney General Goodwin, Farr Is severely
arraigned. "The. literature used In the
furtherance Of his scheme abounds through
out in false representations. pretences
and promises" says Mr. Goodwin. 1T Vs.

The opinion says that Farr is shown to
be financially irresponsible and to have

and land they have remained firm at or
about that point. Even after the naval
battle of Aug. 10, which certainly was a
victory for the Japanese, the Russian
four per cents were Of. This although,
far from being able to justify the boast,
made as lately as last May, that Russia
would be able to prosecute the war for
at least year without having to make
a loan, the st. Petersburg Government
has been forced to, borrow not only Of
it's own subjects, butin France; and now,
as we see, is obliged to appeal to Ger
many.
Very different has been the fate Of
the Japanese five per cents. In May,
1908, they stood at los, but 80 little faith
had onlookers in Japan's ability to with
stand the colossal power of Russia that
in proportion as war grew imminent
the price Of Japanese fves declined,
until on Feb. 0, 1904, when the war began,
they had sunk to &c. Strange to say,
instead Of rising when the news of ia
pans first successful torpedo attack
was received, they sank to 70. Subse-

observed, below Russian tours. How
much better is the credit of defeated
Russia than that Of victorious Japan
has also been shown in a humiliating
way by the fact that only by mortgaging
her customs revenue has Japan been able
to obtain small loan at per cent.
The truth seems to be that while SYM
pathy has played great part on Russia e
side among French investors, it has
proved to be a negligible quantity 80
far as the bankers Of Great Britain and
the United States are concerned, al
though those countries contain most Of
Japan's foreign wellwishers. When the

British and american financisrs disre-
gard its military and naval achieve
ments and fix their eyes exclusively on
the tremendous discrepancy between its
natural resources and those of its antag-
onist. The pregnant fact that Russia's
revenue before the war was about seven
times as large as Japan's overtops all
other considerations in the minds of busi-
ness men, although they may appreciate
the gallantry Of the Japanese and con-
cede the justice of the cause for which the
Mikado is contending.

NEW FACTORY Law IN JERSEY.
Gov. Murphy Appoints Eleven inspectors

TRENTON, N. j., Sept. Gov. Murphy
appointed to-day the eleven factory inspec-

place of the Department Of Factory and
Workshop Inspection,
The inspectors are: William H. bod Of

The Governor sent to each OF the ap-
pointees letter stating his views upon
the enforcement Of the new law, for which
he Is largely responsible. In the letter
the Governor said
-The law must be enforced, not in a way
to annoy, but in fair and considerate
manner. But it must be enforced and
your duty under it must be faithfully and

The Hill Retirement Fund.

Let us consider the accumulated capt.
tai on which the Hon. DAVID B. Hill
would retire at the end of this campaign
In case the political enterprises he now
has ON hand should all result satisfac-
torily, to himself.
:, The next Chief Magistrate of the United
States would be a politician educated
In his own school, from kindergarten up,
jurist who has owed his judicial
station absolutely to HILLS favor, q
Presidential candidate of HILLS own
making The present inconvenience
which Mr.. PARKER may be experiencing
from the ,distrust of HILL which is en-
tertained in SO many Democratic and
independent bosoms is slight thing
compared with the permanent debt OF
gratitude for years OF useful patronage
and almost uninterrupted good offices.
II Mr.. PARKER gets to the White House
the transitory embarrassments due to
HILLS oompanionship in the canvass of
1904 will be forgotten the obligations Of
Q lifetime will remain.
The next Governor of the Empire
State, in case Mr. Hill "retires" after
an entirely successful last engagement,
will likewise be an Executive Of Mr..
HILLS own choice and promotion.
The next United States Senator from
New York, if HILL "retires' triumphant
all around, will be statesman Of his
own selection and will owe to him, not
less than the Hill President and the Hill
Governor, the Difference and fidelity
proper to the relation.
The same thing will be true in general
way of the next Democratic Legislature
at Albany, provided Mr.. HILLS plans
succeed in every particular.
pretty solid investment and re-
tirement fund that ought to produce
dividends!
The Sun has been gently criticised
by several esteemed correspondents for
it's failure to accept at face value an
unsigned and unauthenticated promise
that after the present campaign DAVID
B. HILL will cease to concern himself
with political affairs in the State and
nation.

Suffering New En- gland.

DR.. LUCIUs FAYETTE CLARK GARvIN,
Governor of Rhode Island, has been firing
the Dirigo Democratic heart. The doc
tor seems to have been hard up for
kinding. AS Captain General and Com
mander-in- Chief Of the military and
naval service of Rhode Island he was
estopped from shuddering at militarism.
As Governor of that imperial State, he
might not be gloomy and rainy about
imperialism. A single taxer and herald
of the all healing initiative and referen-
dunn. he can't cling to the Constitution
with that last fierce grip wherewith the
Parker Constitution Club Is hanging on
to that palladium and sheet anchor of
our liberties What was the good doc
tor and Governor to do? How was no
to inspire Maine with Democratic ardor!
How set a-going that revolution which
Tickled Tom TAGGARTs face has grown
broad with smiling for?
Governor GARvIN had to try the old
Democratic Scare method, but he used
it very gently as this sentence from his
Machias speech shows:
am undCQutluteu WIN tnc peculiar wrongs
and evils from which the people Of northern New
England are suffering, but even though they seem
to you negative In character, they arc bad enough,
as shown by results"
Bad enough, you may be sure, and the
Doctors speech was more than good
enough. The patient may be healthy
patient to look at, and yet have more
diseases than he knows. DR.. GARvIN is
a close reasoner There must be some
thing the matter with the country or it
will never put the Democratic party in
power. There must be something the
matter with northern New England or
the Democratic orators are stamping it
in vain. DIR. GARvIN can't find her dis
ease, but he asks northern New England
to take the Democratic pill.
When DR.. GARvIN goes to Massachu-
sets he ought to be able to show that the
gypsy moth and the bfown-tail moth
are results of colonialism. Still,
when tho country was Sick Democrat was she.

A Conference of the Powers.

Only four days more and the National
Democratic Editorial Conference will be
here in solemn conference. The Demo-
cratic editors are already on their way.
In many an editorial boudoir the Office
boy is playing solitaire to-day, master
OF all he surveys. For the chiefs OF
Democratic thought have heard the
words, "On to New York and Esopus!'
They are coming. They will look adj
miringly at the weller of intellects tn
the Hoffman House, They will carry
many States by resolution. They will
go up the Hudson and shake the Judge
by the hand and play with the tangles
of Mary James fleece. They will eat
the fat and drink the sweet. Board
and lodging and transportation are free
to them. Some generous official brain
and hand have provided for them. Their
bread is baked of sterling Democratic
dough-"
Full of wisdom, hope and eleemosy-
nary refreshments, they will return to
their local seats Of thought with renewed
confidence in the Judge and the Elder.
Our esteemed contemporary the VII
mington Star says truly:
The proposed conference Is a wise campaign
undertaking, and no doubt 1t will prove 10 be
tremendous factor In the election OF a Democratic
President and Vice President. II Is proposed
to also hold other conferences In different parts
of the republic, and the star predicts big results
from this concentration OF the emil ghtenlng power
OF the press
Pleasant travels, big feeds, big factors,
big results. There is no reason why
the Democratic editors shouldn't have
a conference as often as headquarters
will pass the accounts. There ought
to be a conference in San Francisco.
There must be one in st. Louis. The
wave of enlightenment must spread
over the United States.
The strain on the editorial insides will
be great We beg the brethren to be true
to Pepsin as we'll as to PARKER.
