LAPAN AND RUSSIA,

The probability of a war between
Russia and Japan has set the experts
to figuring on the probable outcome
of such q conflict. Allowing for a
bias in favor of Japan, the conclu-
sions of the London Times may be
accepted as the best opinion obtaina-
BILE. The Times correspondents ARE
experts.
The Times says Japan has much
the better chance on sea, and rs to
the land, u fairly even chance.
Japan has six battleships to Rus
sia's eight, but the former are much
the superior. The Japanese ships
are of one grade and can therefore be
more easily handled. A fleet of war
ships is like chain--it is no stron-
ger than its weakest link. A fleet OF
war vessels must adapt itself to the
capacity of its poorest ships. Japan
has six armored cruisers to Russia's
five. In protected cruisers Japan
has fourteen to Russia's eight.
Another advantage for Japan!
She has four fine dock yards Tea
pable 10th of constructing and re-
pairing vessels of any class" Rus
sia's docking facilities are totally
inadequate. So great is the prepOn-
derance it is believed Russia will
hardly risk an open fight on the sea.
AS to the army: Japan has about
100000 men with a reserve force OF
43O, 900. Russia IS force in the east is
about 2O0,00 Her reserve, of course,
runs into the millions.
Japan will win on the sea, say the
experts, either by defeat of the Rus
sian fleet or it's blockade. AS to
Japan's fighting show on land mill
tary authorities disagree. In the
long run, it would seem, Russia
must win. japanese velocity cannot
overcome Russia's momentum. The
japanese soldiers are superior in
bravery, discipline, initiative, and
enthusiasm, but they will go against
a stone wall.
The cost in human life, tears, ruin,
suffering-the experts do not figure
these.

GET THAT CANAL.

1t begins to look now as if the
Democratic party would divide on
the question of the Isthmian canal.
Better that than to stand as unit
in opposition.
There is one thing in the presi-
dents special message to congress
that sticks out like a felon on sore
thumb. 1t is his positive and une-
quivocal statement, boiled down and
made so simple that it cannot be
misunderstood, that the United
States in no way and at no time had
any hand, directly or indirectly, in
causing the dissensiOn that resulted
in disturbing the relations of Colom-
bia and Panama and the forming of
a new republic.
Whatever his enemies can say of
Theodore Roosevelt, they cannot
deny that he tells the truth. He
may love party and power; he may
do things for political eXpediency;
but he is not liar. When he says
in connection with this matter that
"the hands of Uncle Sam are Clean"
that should end it. He knows.
That being settled, the next thing
is to dig the canal.
There can be no argument as to its
utility. Every school boy knows
what the enterprise will mean to
America. 1t will do more to uphold
and maintain the supremacy of our
markets than any one thing the mind
can conceive.
If it were possible to poll the
American people, the sentiment in
favor of the canal, and also of getting
to work on the stupendous project,
would be overwhelming.
We have the men, the money, the
brains, the ability to put it through,
and the people are in favor of it.
1t is not a partisan project. 1t is
an American enterprise. Why
should democratic senators oppose it?
Congress has argued and expound-
ed, GRATED and expended bOundless
quantities of words. There has
been enough said-yes, too much.
The public needs no more enlighten-
ment. The thing to do is-dig.
The people want to see contracts
made for machinery, and thousands
of men with shovels, great dredges
in motion, ships loaded with sup
plies made in America, headed for
Panama; millions legitimately ex-
pended in furthering the construc-
tion of the ditch that is to unite the
Atlantic and Pacific, and create a
new commercial era in this favored |
land.
II congress will listen, that body |
may hear a mighty chorus from

MIR. HEARsT's PROSPECTS.

That William Randolph Hearst is
planning to capture the Democratic
nomination for president has long
been known. He has been at the
trick long time and has made much
more Roadway than most people sup
pose.
He has made so much Roadway
that he can no longer be Ignored by
those newspapers which conscienti-
ously seek to give the history of the
day.
He is factor in the Democratic
presidential situation and a very i'm
portant one.
Mr.. Hearst's ambition to be presi-
dent dates back to 1900. 1t was in
the presidential campaign of that
year he first appeared upon the hori-
zon of national politics as a national
figure. He was loyal to Mr.. Bryan
and the Democratic ticket. At his
own expense he organized a league OF
Democratic clubs, which elected him
their president and did good deal of
work for the party.
Mr.. Hearst has genius for organ
izing clubs, and that league of Demo-
cratic clubs-with William Randolph
Hearst as president-is in existence
today.
To put it plain Mr.. Hearst sis seek
ing the presidency with his cheek
and his check book" He has agents
travelling about the country looking
out for his interests. He is Iich and
can pay them. 1t is stated that there
are three or four hundred men on his
pay roll, and there is not State in
the Union where his agents have not
been at work. In scores Of Congress
sional districts throughout the coun-
try Hearst's giant and sleepless Or
ganization has fixed the slate" for
Hearst delegates to the national con-
ventlon. -
Hearst is loyal Democrat. His
paper, the New York American, was
the only influential Democratic jour
nal to stand By Tammany Hall in
it's recent successful fight for the con-
troll of Greater New York.
1t is understood that Chas. F. Muir
ply, the new Tammany leader, is
with him. Why shouldn't he be?
VIM. J. Bryan, in recent inter-
view, said: II wish you would write
down what 1 have to say about Mr..
Hearst" He then dictated the fol-
lowing: "I appreciate the work Mr..
Hearst has done for the Democratic
party and count him among my per-
sonal friends"
Watch the Hearst trains from all
sections of the country headed for ST.
Louis next June. They will be loaded
to the doors with Hearst boomers.
He will come pretty near owning
the convention city.
Then don't be surprised if he heads
the national Democratic ticket.

The Original of Major Pendcnnis.

story. 1t was long and complicated
but she assured me she had told it to
my father, the late W. NJ. Thackeray,
Just before he wrote "Pendennis," and
that 1t had partly suggested the open
Ing chapters. 1t concerned a family
living in Brighton somewhere near
Kemp Town. There was a somewhat
autocratic father and Il romantic young
son who had lost his heart to the house
maid and determined to marry her.

marry clandcstinely and then. having
dismissed him, rang for the butler. To
the butler this Major Pendennis said

II wish you to retire from my service
but will give you 1900 in bank notes
If you will marry the housemald before

"Certainly, sir" and the young man
next morning was told of the event
which had occurred. AS far as re-
member, melancholy and sensational

poor young fellow was so overwhelm
ed that he rushed out and distractedly
blew his brains out on the downs be-

QUESTIONS ANSWERED..

What is the best grain for laying
hens? Answer. When the question
of cost is excluded, wheat stands
much ahead of all other grains. Oats
are better than corn. The latter is
too fattening except in the coolest
weather. In our climate it should
never be fed oftener than once day,
then preferably just before roosting
time. Bran, neat-meal and gluten
feed are the best materials for bal
ancing the feed of corn, which for
econOmy's sake we may not wholly
exclude from poultry rations.
Is it true that nitrate of soda makes
fruit sour on trees fertilized with it?
Answer. | do not believe there is
any foundation for this belief former
ly common among orange growers.
The fact doubtless is that nitrate
of soda is so much more active and
quicker in Results than other nitro
genious fertilizers, that it was origi-
nally used in disproportion to the
mineral plant foods combined with
it. This made an immediate COM
parative lack of potash which so
largely controls sugar formation in
fruit. The result was a sour fruit,
not because nitrate of soda makes
sour fruit, but because lack OF potash
results in sour fruit. The effect of
the nitrate is so quick and it is apt to
waste if used in large quantities on
porus soils, that the quantity to be
used should be divided into two or
more applications. Used in this way
with potash to balance it there need
be no fear of sour fruit.
What are the adaptations of the
Brown Swiss Cattle?" This is the
dairy breed of the Swiss mountains.
They are especially adapted to MAX
ing butter and cheese. They are
