Russia and England.

One Of the most important utterances
made since the outbreak of the war In
the far east is that of Prince Hespere
Oukhtomsky. who was recently In this
country to represent the Russian press
at the worlds fair. While In New
York the prince prepared paper for
the Outlook, in which the following
significant language occurred:
When the situation in the far east has
been cleared up by means OF ultimate
Russian victory, which Is Inevitable
there will come a reckoning with Eng
land who is undoubtedly responsible for
the Japanese attack upon us. England
would now like to have better relations

her hand to share with us the spoils OF
victory But 1t is now too late. We rec
ognize her as our old enemy, who has
ever stood in the path of Russian devel-
opment, who has by various means held
us back from the sea, has constantly, by
means of her publications and her ma
chinery for disseminating news, fostered
prejudices against us throughout the en-
tire civilized world. This last attack on
us is only one of a hundred scores thai
we have against England, and when oul
war with Japan is ended II will be not
| only possible. but also necessary. that We
then proceed with the long contemplated
| expedition to India.
The statement is all the more sig

author. Prince Oukhtomsky is the edi

This utterance makes it more evider
than ever that Japan is fighting til

Sacrifice.

All that Is worth having in this
world comes through sacrifice.
Liberty has been bought by the blood
of countless heroes. Religion has been
advanced by the death of numberless
martyrs. Reformers, philosophers, in
ventors, discoveries, have been ridicul-
ed, ostracized, prosecuted and muir.
dered.
The highway of progress is lined with
the graves of lovers and sayiors of
mankind-men who thought more of
others than of their own personal well
fare.
man is never really great until he
is greater than himself-until he can
lose himself in cause or an idea.
We have reached our present adj
vancement in the world through the
sacrifice of those who have gone before
us.
We are the heirs of the labors, suf-
ferings, struggles and lives of all that
have delved, taught and strlven since
the world began. Every child that is
born that is guided and reared to man
hood or womanhood represents the sac
rifice of it's parents. They in turn rep.
resent the sacrifice of their parents, and
so the chain runs on until it is seen
that each of us stands ON bridge of
sacrifice which extends backward
through the ages.
For this is the divine law:
We lay down our lives for those tina
come after us.
The martyrdom Of man! Who car
measure it? 1t Is the soil out of which
has grown all that is good in the
world-truth, right, virtue, freedom, re
ligion, brotherhood and enlightenment
We lightly prize our blessings, for W,

The Norge Disaster.

The sinking of the Scandinavian
American steamship Norge off the west
coast of Scotland, with q loss Of over
600 lives, following so closely upon the
Slocum disaster in New York harbor,
emphasizes the perils of those who GO
down to the sea in ships and enforces
the public demand for a speedy refor-
nation in the business of carrying pas.

that, as in the case of the Slocum, the

life saving apparatus and that many
of the life preservers were so old as to
be useless. The crew was poorly drill.

the work of launching the lifeboats

Chinese Railways.

Because of the war in the far east
all things relating to the development
of the orient are interesting. A recent
consular report gives the railways OF
China as follows:
The first railway In China was built ir
1877 and extended from Picking to TieS
tsin, distance of rs miles. 1t has since
been extended to Shanhaikwan, an addi-
uonal distance of 81 miles. From Pekine
there is road to Tungtschu, a distance
OF 1876 miles. The main road however. Is
the Luhan railroad, extending through
Pechili, Honan and Hupe to Hankow
with a total length of $50 miles. Their,

GOLD PLANK VOTED OUT.

Concession to Bryan Men by the Com
mittee on Resolutions.
The convention unanimously adopted
a platform, without one dissenting
voice. This came after stormy SEES
sion before the committee on resolu-
tons, where Hill, Bryan Daniel and
Tillman fought the battle out with the
result that the gold standard plank
which Hill wanted and the income tax
plank which Bryan wanted were botn
stricken out.
The platform is a compromise ac-
ceptable to all of the interests involved
and was adopted unanimously by the
committee. 1t may be said in general
to have been concession to the
Bryan wing Of the party without in any
way stultifying the declarations Of the
conservatives. The absence of any
announcement upon the financial ques-
lion is most significant and discloses
the utter mpossibility of finding any
declaration upon this subject acceptable
to all
