Hopeful Feeling In Washington.
Washington, Feb. 3.-If the Russian
reply indicates a willingness on the
part of the St Petersburg government
to conform to the general lines Of ia
pans last proposition it is learned on
adequate authority that continuation
Of the negotiations in the earnest ef-
forts to reach a final settlement by
diplomacy may be expected. The
qualifying statement is added, how
ever, that Japan's last note was at
the time declared to set forth an ir-
reducible minimum of her demands,
and it is difficult for those conversant
with the Japanese position to believe
that any important departure from the
general lines of that note would be ac-

Reported Release From British Prison
Shrouded In Mystery,

Reported Release From British Prison
shrouded In Mystery.
London, Feb. I'm spite of the
mystery with which officials shroud
the action in connection with the re-
ported release of Mrs. Florence May
brick, who is serving a life sentence
for poisoning her husband, 1t can be
definitely said that she has been re-
moved from AylesbuTy prison. At the
United States embassy it was most
emphatically declared that she had
not been pardoned and that she was
still prisoner. Where she has been
taken remains a mystery, but reports
from Aylesbury are to the effect that
she has been removed to some institu-
tion in Cornwall. The home Office and
the governor of Aylesbury prison re-
fuse to make any kind of a statement
on the subject. If the ordinary course
had been followed, Mrs. Maybrick
would have been taken to Holloway if
her immediate release were contem- /
plated, but she is not there and has
probably been removed to some other |
prison of less rigorous discipline. |
where she can recuperate prior to her
release. Or, possibly. she has been con
veyed to one Of the government homes /
of detention or to an asylum.
The Daily Mail this morning says
that Mrs. Maybrick is now in Liver
pool, and that the following conditions
attach to her release from prison:
That she will not appear on the pub
lie stage or write a book of her expert
ences and shall in no way endeavor
to attract public attention to herself.

Good politics would seem to dictate

publican party.
In some states Of the north the negro
vote. cast soIidly for or against a
party, might change the result In
the south. according to any Repubii-
can, the votes of negroes are not count
Ted, even when they are permitted to
cast votes. Do the Republicans place
the negroes in Office only in the south
because they know they can count on
the votes Of the northern negroes under
any and all circumstances? It surely
seems so. And it is apparent. further.
that the average white Republican
wants to stay just as far away from
the negro Office holder as he possibly
can.

LOSSES BY LIGHTNING

A COMMITTEE appointed by the Ma
n tional Fire Protective associatio,
some time ago to look into the question
of fire losses caused by lightning has
just issued its preliminary report. The
statistics are interesting because they
show an astonishingly large fire loss
from this source. The committee found
that about $500 out of the average OF
n 469 yearly fires from all causes were
Que to lightning. They caused an aver
age loss OF s4,95s. 4S7 out of an average
total of s156 100000
In the list OF buildings struck nv
lightning barns easily LED. This is ae-
counted for in large measure bv the
isolation OF barns in farming communi-
ties. They stand out, separate and
apart from other buildings. and seem
10 invite the lightning. Buildings with
gabied roofs and with steeples were
found 10 be much more liable to light
ming strokes than flat-roofed buildings.
The preliminary report does not tell
what percentage Of the buildings struck
were protected by lightning rods or in
other ways. II it is shown that none
or at least only few of them. were
so protected, the lightning rod agent
may get busy again as in days of yore
This though scientists once demon
strated. or thought they demonstrated.
that lightning rods were actually a
b hindrance instead of a help because
they attracted lightning often to de-
fective rods ard so caused fires that
would not have occurred had the al
legged protection not been installed.

woMEN AND LODGES.

CORRESPONDENT who for a
Il reason that is obvious. fails to
give his name, writes The Herald as
follows:
can a womans secret society
break up a large family? In April.
lso2, there was a man and wife and
children living happily together. They
mad property and money in the bank.
Now the secret society has ruined
them forever and ever. Is this not a
beastiy shame from such an OUTFIT? Is
this law or Unlawful"
This seems to us an extremely deli
cate subject We hesitate to give ad-
vice Far be it from us to suggest
that secret societies for women are
improper. Men have them in plenty.
Why not women? But should woman
think more of her society than of her
family? We hardly believe so. When
the time comes that marks the part
ing OF the ways, when the wife must
choose between the society and her
husband and children, there is only one
proper course for her to pursue. She
should give up the society.
But the husband should hear his
snare OF the burden. 1t is impossible
for us to believe that a woman who has
a happy home Will let any secret So
eiety break it up. Our correspondent
seems TO think he is a much iII-used
man. So he is, perhaps. but has he
been trying to make home pleasant
for his wife? Has he been STAYING at
home at night? Has he manifested
toward his wife the love and affection
she has a right to expect from him.
There are always two sides to these
questions.
1t Is perhaps true that some women
are unreasonably active in their lodge
work, that some of them permit il to
interfere with their duties to their
husbands and their children. But men
are guilty Of the same mistake. Men
go 10 their lodge rooms night after
night, they make Of their lodges an
excuse to get away from home and
they expect their wives to bear with
it all patiently.
And in the end the problem is one
which every wife and every husband
must solve for herself and himself
They are the parties most interested.
One cannot lay down a set Of rules for
all to follow, because every case is
distinct and separate from every other
ease

AN UNFIT CANDIDATE.

DY HIS speech in the Salt Lake
~ theatre on Tuesday evening and
by his actions since the Republicans
OF the Seventh district nominated him
FOR district judge. w. D. Livingston
has amply demonstrated his utter I'M
fitness for the position he seeks In
the theatre Tuesday night the Young
Mems Republican club held a political
rally. Livingston was one Of the
speakers. His talk was furious
denuuciation Of all who oppose Re-
publicanism, with special reference to
Republicans who do not intend to
support the state ticket nominated by
that party.
Livingston IS politician of the
peanut order. He secured his nominal
ton. it is asserted. by resorting to
petty politics and his course ever since
has been a continuous MANIFESTATION
of his narrow spirit. man with the
violent prejudices openly confessed
by Livingston is not fit person to
place in a judicial position. Judges
should have neither friends to reward
nor enemies to punish. Livingston
appears TO have both. In the nature
Of things he must have them.
How can this man. if he should be
elected. measure out equal and exact
justice 10 all the litigants who come
before him? Is It not reasonable to
suppose that a NAM Of his strong
prejudices will be swayed by them on
the bench? Does anybody believe for
a moment that Livingston the politf-
clan viii be lost in Livingston the
judge? Is man who is small enough.
after his nomination. TO pursue those
who opposed him. who is small enough
TO engage in a bitter contest for dele
gates 70 a state convention. big enough
TO treat his friends and his enemies
alike on the bench?
In The Heralds judgment a candi-
date for a judicial position has no
business at all on the stump either for
himself or for another. The ermine
should not be dragged through the
mire of politics. We cannot have an
upright. fearless judiciary as long as
the best politicians are given the
judgeships. This is plain speaking but
it is plain truth. If Iir. Livingston
were Democrat We would not hest
tate to express our thorough disap-
proval Of his course, for a Democrat
would have no more right, as a candi-
date for judge, to engage in a politi-
cal scramble than a Republican.
II the voters of the Seventh district
know when they are well off they will
defeat Livingston.
