Conspicuous among them are Gener-

that of any of the others. for not only

Indeed, the Dreyfus affair seems to
have touched with blight nearly all
who were connected with it on either

He is man who everybody in this city

He has competent help and is doing as

JOHN A. D'MurH HoNoRED.

Melrose Record. Gladly the Record
announces the triumphant nomination
of Mr.. DeMuth as delegate to the
national republican convention to be
held in Chicago June 81, 1904.
1t is an honor worthily bestowed.
We all partake in the honor since he is
our own townsman, living out on his
fine farm only little ways distant.
He needs no words of commenda-
tion-his public and private record are
both secure. In time of war he was a
soldier; in peace, farmer, and always
a cultured gentleman.
No man is more proud of his coun-
try-no man more patriotic in all that
concerns her welfare than our candi-

practically defeated until he learned
that the confederate knapsacks were
packed with rations. The hint that
the enemy was seeking to escape was
enough, and the union troops again
Went forward. AT Santiago, although
we had won the San Juan ridge and
FL Caney Skaters army was so de-
moralized that the Spaniards need
only to have hung on to have compell-
ed it to retire. The surrender at Sam
tiago, like the one at Donelson, and
like the Japanese success at Nanshan
hlll was the result of winning bluff.
One of the favorite maxims of Gen.
Grant and one certainly in accord
with human nature, was that in every
closely contested battle there comes a
time when both sides are exhausted.
When this condition arises, he said,
the army that first breaks the lull and
puts itself in motion is likely to win.
A blow then is worth dozen previous
ones. Whether they have studied the
books, or whether they instinctively
recognize it, the Japanese command
ers seem to know this psychology of
battle The Russian military trait
most praised is stubbornness; IL a
little more of 1t had been shown at
Nanshan hill the Russian flag might
yet be floating there

THE PERDIcARIs PROBLEM.


New York Tirnes.-As in the case of
Miss Stone, SO in that of Mr.. Perdi-
carts, one cannot help considering to
just how much trouble and expense a
country is in duty bound to go in pro-
tecting the lives of citizens who VOL
unfairly take up their residence in
lands where they know that danger is
abundant and the local government
either i'll disposed toward aliens or too
weak to give them effective protec-
ton. For a consular officer, or even
for a ship captain in the ordinary
conduct of his business, there is no
limit to the obligation of his own
country, but the position of Mr. Per-
dicaris is somewhat different He
knew Morocco and its inhabitants, and
he liked them well enough to remain
there for years. Now a bandit" with
whom he had been on friendly terms
has carried him off into the noun
tains and threatens to kill him unless
an enormous price is paid in money
and more than money. 1t is a difficult
problem. Mr.. Perdicaris is really an
American citizen, and, according to all
accounts, an amiable and estimable
man, but he voluntarily took lot of
chances, and, now that the chances
have gone against him, there do seem
to be objections to treating with an
outlaw for the sake of restoring him
to-Tangier.

JAPAN,s PROMISE OF VICTORY.

New York Press.-The swiftly NOV
ing events Of the war in the far east,
with the complete success of the mi
kado's arms wherever they cross those
of the car, make more evident one
thing about which occidental militar-
lists had thought they must remain in
doubt for a long tinne-the abundant
capacity Of the Japanese to last"
American students of war had no hes
itation in declaring that the japanese
were higher masters of it's science
than the Russians, more familiar with
modern weapons and implements of
war better versed in the theory of
tactics and strategy as developed by
the evolution of the present age. They
were not SO sure-there could be no
way Of forming a sound Judgment un-
til after tests We're made on the ac-
tual battlefield-that the rice eaters
Of Nippon could have stomach for
the hard fighting to which northern
beef eaters take as a sort of second ma
ture. In the engagements of this war,
both by sea and land, however, the
Japanese have furnished abundant
proof that they can take a battlefield
grilling with the toughest fighting
skins in the world.
Another thing Of the most impress

SCIENCE DOES RESCUE ACT.

A writer has said: "Novelists and
that the blush is a banner of capitu-
lation run UP over the citadel of the
heart, the rosy dawn of maidenly love.
1t differs from the blush of shame,
though the color is the same and only
physiologically does it resemble the
scarlet sign of rage But it would ap-
pear now from scientific standpoint
that this decision of the poets and nov.
elists is all wrong. A man said to be
scientist of note calls the blush "a
temporary erythema and calorific eff
fulgence of the physiognomy, aetioliz-
ed by supersensitiveness of the SEN
sorium when in predicament of I'M
equilibrity, eventuating in paresis
of the vasomotor filaments of the fac
ial capillaries, whereby being divest-
ed Of their elasticity they are suffus-
ed with a radiance emanating from
the intimidated praecordia''
How simple it seems since this man
of science has impaired to us this in
formation. Hereafter when we see a
maiden blush we will no longer prate
about her feminine modesty, but we
will charitably remember that she is
vasomotor filaments of the facial cap
illaries." On the other hand when we
find person to whose cheeks never
mounts that crimson tint we will not
think him a hardened criminal, but an
unfortunate whose facial capiIlaries
have become paralyzed.

okU's SUCCESSFUL BLUFF.

New York Globe.-The battle OF
Nanslan hill illustrates again how
narrow is the margin between victory
and defeat and how vital is the hang
on, never give-up principle. Eight
times the Japanese had charged, and
as many times had been bloodily re-
pulsed; nightfall was only half hour
distant; the Japanese artillery am
munition was practically exhausted.
At this critical time, instead OF
yielding to gripping encouragement
the Japanese ordered a ninth and for
lorn hope assault, and it succeeded
The Russians, their lines searched by
the Japanese artillery in front and
and enfiladed by the Japanese gun
boats, wearied by the prolonged strug-
gle, became, we may readily imagine
the victims of funk. They abandoned
their seventy weight guns, and with
what speed they could command
streamed away toward Port Arthur
From the Japanese account it is a
legitimate inference that If the Rus
slams had stood as determinedly as
earlier in the day ST. PETERSBURG
would be rejoicing instead of mourn
ing.
At Donelson Grant deemed his army
