Decline Of Russian PRESTIGE
Z. Y. Journal Of Commerce.

n. Y. Journal Of Commerce.
The demonstrated inability of Russia to
hold her own against Japan, either by land
or sea, means more than naval and mill
tary incapacity: it is convincing proof OF
the rottenness of the whole governmental
system of the empire, and of the perllous
insecurity of the foundation on which that
system has been reared. 1t appeared to
Prince UkhtUmsky, the companion OF the
present car on his travels in the Far East,
that "the wings of the Russian eagle are
spread too widely over the East to leave
the slightest doubt of future in which
Asatic Russia will mean all Asia" Tim
vauting ambition was held by other mem
bers of the family of nations to be &C.
rious menace to human progress, but there
was everywhere vague torebo1ing that 1t
might attain its end. All Europe stood in
awe of the military power which has col
lapsed like bubble at the pricking Of the
spear of Japan. On the eighth OF Feb
ruary last, when news Of the first disaster
at Port Arthur was already on the way,
Prince Ukhtomsky was talking at st.
Petersburg to a German newspaper cor
respondent in this strain; 1.-THE difference
Of race between our troops and the Jap
anese is SO great that there can be no
question of measuring ourselves against
them in regular hostilities The yellow
men will not 30 much be beaten. They
will be simply slaughtered. We cannot
consent to look upon them as an even
breed. That is, 80 to speak, an anihro-
biological axiom. Yellow is simply not
equal to white. What do they
think they want, these half.men?' This
glaring misconception of the character Of
the enemy whom Russia was to face was
by no means confined to the Russians
themselves. 1t was shared by great
many people in France and Germany, and
did not lack acceptance even among our
own people. The establishment would,
perhaps, have been more painful and COM
plete but for the entire absence of the war
spirit among the Russian people. Karl
Blind quotes a letter from St. Petersburg
written few days before the Petropavlovsk
disaster, which contains this statement
"In this present war there is not trace Of
patriotic enthusiasm among the people
on the contrary, the masses are perfectly
apathetic, not understanding in the least
the occurrences in the Far East, whilst the
cultured part of the population is directly
hostile to the government policy in Man
churia

Mr.. Williams We. Mr.. Root.
Philadelphia Press.

Philadelphia Press.
The contrast of the two speeches at the
opening of the National Conventions is
the contrast of the two parties. The Re-
publican party moves forward in Its great
work of actual government with sure and
stately tread and distinct and brilliant ac-
complishment, while the Democratic party
stands by and simply picks flaws.
So at the opening of the Republican
Convention Mr.. Root in measured terms
and exact statement recounted the living,
vital deeds of Republican administration,
and Mr.. Williams at the opening of the
Democratic Convention simply carps and
cavils. Mr.. Williams himself forces the
contrast. He makes it by making his
speech an answer. The comparison is
thus inevitable. Mr.. Roots speech was
strong, affirmative, symmetrical and con-
structive force. Mr.. Williams speech is
loose, negative and disjointed in it's sole
function of criticism. The d Inference is
the broad difference between the parties
an6 their respective characters and posi-
tons. Each orator did the best with his
cause. Mr.. Williams has justly gained
high reputation as the leader of the minor
ity in the House. He has shown him
self alert, ready, fertile, full Of good humor
and quick to find any open joint in the
harness of his opponents. His speech at
st. Louis reflects bis good points. His

There is more Catarrh in this section oil
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For great
many years doctors pronounced it local
disease and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with To-
cal treatment, pronounced 1t incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be consti-
tutlonal disease and therefore requires con-
stitutional treatment. HALLS Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. j. Cheney & Co., To-
ledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure
on the market. 1t is taken internally in
doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. 1t

Yet, we find the politicians who form
and dominate public opinion in this Sec
ton insisting upon a violent change in the
policy of government which has per-
mitted il it has not created these ex-
cellent conditions. They are again clamor-
ing for Democratic tariff reform, and we
suppose the Southern States will again SOL
idly follow the leadership that brought
upon them and the entire country indus
trial ruin in 1892. The South will again
vote for reform which means ruin, but
the conservative, intelligent business men
and masses of the North and West will
save the South and all sections from
another cyclone of Democratic folly.

Eight years ago at Chicago the name OF
Grover Cleveland in a Democratic conven-
ton provoked only Kisses and howls Of
contempt. Last week in a national DEM
ocratic convention at St. Louis, composed
of practically the same men who sat in the
Chicago Convention, the name of Grover
Cleveland was welcomed with shouts OF
Joy and approval. For emotionalism and
insincerity no party on earth ever has or
ever can match the Democracy.

The Democratic newspapers in Virginia
are evidently spprehensive that they can
not explain to the masses Of the people
the inconsistent positions taken by their
party on all national questions within the
past ten years. They are afraid the people
are getting disguised with Democratic in
sincerity and acknowledged lack of judg-
ment; and they are trying to make this
campaign of prejudice instead of intelli-
gence and principle, To that end they
are making the negro the burden of their
song. This is too small to even be called
"peanut politics." We had thought there
was to be some improvement in the poll
tics of Virginia; but the present conduct
of most of our Democratic contemporaries
forces us to abandon all hope for the pres
ent on that line.

Baltimore American.
Writing bis annual Fourth Of July letter
to Tammany, the ex-President soiemnly
and ponderously declares: "No one can
be go blind as not to see that in these days
of grasping and consuming madness in
the pursuit of wealth, with its consequent
Indifference to political duty, there is DAN
ger that our social and industrial equality
will be destroyed and our political indie
pendence made the sport Of demagogues.
Exactly what the Princeton oracle of small
faction of the national Democracy means
by these big words it is not easy to say,
but he seems anxious to convince the peo-
pie that any advance In either general or
individual prosperity must be attended
with political slavery and complete sur

and action so essential to the maintenance
of the American principles of govern

Duty to a Secret Order No Defense
Boston Transcript.

Boston Transcript.
The relative Importance of mans duty
to secret order and his duty as a citizen
seems to be pretty well indicated by the
decision of the appellate division of the
New York Supreme Court, that man
fined and imprisoned for contempt be-
cause he refused one of the lesser judicial
bodies information on the ground that be
was bound by lodge oath not to give it,
may purge himself of contempt only by
stating the required facts. 1t is a pity
such discipline should be necessary in an
enlightened Republic, but 80 long as it is,
it is refreshing to have it thoroughly ad-
ministered.
