Japanese Grit and Gumption.

Figures about Japanese losses In battle
are In dispute. That the losses were heavy
we need not doubt The work was arduous,
and called for daring and sacrifice. Cross
ing rivers under fire and carrying intrench-
ments at the point of the bayonet cannot
be classed as holiday business. Such losses
may continue. Every mile Of the way by
land to Port Arthur Is difficult and the way
In the other direction is not easy. Kuropat-
kin Is fighter, and we need not doubt that
he will give his foe the best In the shop.
Tho Japanese army, there Is abundant
reason to believe. IS keyed up to the high
est pitch. The navy opened the ball so bril-
lantly. spirit of emulation on shore was
engendered. No navy has ever performed
more brilliantly. For one thing. as Illus
trating the quality of the men, we have to
consider tho large number Of Hobsons
among them. The Santiago feat has been
repeated time and again at Port Arthur.
Ship after ship has been manned and sent
IN to be sunk IN the channel. The failure
of the efforts so far argues nothing against
the spirit of men undertaking such work.
How many have been lost we do not know.
But, whatever the number may be. 1t has
not cooled the ardor of those who remain.
A call for volunteers for this errand still
meets with eager responses. The decks
swarm with officers and jackies ready for
the post of peril.
The army. then. started its campaign in
spired by the determination not to be out
done by the navy. And that 1t has been
moving with great celebrity and success the
record attests. The contract is enormous
and the hardest part Is yet to be tackled.
But both the Russians and the world at
large have been impressed and the further
course of the Japanese generals will be fol-
lowed with very great interest and high ex-
pectation.
We have now we are told. a clear vision
of the yellow peril Here are men gifted
with both strategy and courage and if they
como out of this war victorious the white
races may well look to their laurels. AS a
matter of fact, they ought to be looking to
their laurels all the time. Competition is
the life of trade. Vigilance is the price of
liberty. Whatever there may be In the
Japanese of courage and capacity. either
for war government. let it be developed.
The world has nothing to fear from true
courage and exalted ambition. whether
manifested by the yellow or the white
races.

The Illinois Republicans.

These things connected with the result at
Springfield appear to be encouraging to the
republicans of Illinois:
a. The nominee for governor is a Cook
county man. and popular official. In Chi
cago the situation is difficult. Both parties
are in state of unrest. Both have been
threatened with divisions at the polls The
republicans now make strong appeal to
the big town. and to its many and influen-
tial Independent voters through an official
who both stands well and knows the game
of politics. Local pride becomes factor in
the race. Surely If peace in the ranks In
town can be secured by anybody it can be
by a man familiar with the present state
of the ferment and with the story Of what
caused it.
CT The leading figure in the combination
that made the nomination was Governor
Yates. and this insures for the ticket the
support of the state administration. That
support should count for much. While
Governor Yates failed to obtain a renomi-
nation he led in the balloting, and among
his supporters were many strong party
workers. We may assume that he and his
friends will .bestir themselves In behalf of
what the state convention. largely at their
instance, finally agreed upon. 1t conspicu-
ously devolves upon them to make good
at the polls
90 The convention, while full of ginger
from start to finish seemed to develop no
undying hatreas or cutthroat revenges
Everybody was dead in earnest. and every
body stood SO stoutly to his guns that
fortnight's recess had to be taken. Every
body went home and thought and talked
the matter over. Then. when the conven-
ton reassembled, after few ballots, en-
abling everybody to register for his IA
vorite again. business triumphed over en-
thusiasm for favorites, and ticket was
named. The nominations were made unani-
nous, and it is everybody's duty now to go
to work for the party's success.
(G There may have been no particular
play necessary or intended for the Irish
vote, but surely Irishman will think
twice and think hard before voting against
man of the name of Deneen. There is
music in the name. and it suggests good
talker, with sense of humor and a full
stock of good and apt stories He is ma
tive of Illinois and a graduate of her
schools but the flavor Of his name hangs
round him still.
VIII this highly satisfactory result lessen
the pressure on Mr. Cannon to stand for
the vice presidency? 1t was thought at
one time that the, republicans of the state
were on the eve of split such as has
taken place in Wisconsin, and that Mr.
Cannon's name on the national ticket would
be necessary to insure Illinois for Roose-
yelt -,.-

vein of a strange looking ore, and Sc
curing small quantity expressed it
to j. McViekers, an assayer in Salt

The assayer's report shows that the

time the Governor of Kauai. had a ku-
leana award issued to him in 1850 on
81 5-10 acres of land, consisting of the
west portion of what is now called
Pearl City Peninsula. There was 4
reservation to the Government of one
third interest on royal patent awards,
which had to be committed, and Ka-
noa's Communication was settled for in
1850. but it appears no grant was ever
issued to him. The land therefore stood
without any royal patent, being there
fore subject to flaw of title. until Mo-
vember %, 1904. John w. Thompson,
the Bishop Museum sculptor of fish and
reptiles. had applied to the Court of
Land Registration for a certificate of
title to lot of land in the Kanoa
award, which he had bought from the
o. r. & L. Co. Judge Weaver refused
title until the question of the original
patent was cleared up, which was done
on the date just mentioned. The num-
