The Y. |. AS New President.

\ general meeting of the V. /.
\. was held last Friday night, at
which were present members con-
nected with the medical, legal and
commercial life of our town, as
well as prominent officials of Ber-
ryville. The business of the eve
nlng was the election of presi-
dent to take the place of Mr..
Herbert b. Warde. who has so ad-
mlrably filled that office continu-
ouSly since the organization of the
Association. IL was unanimously
agreed to offer the position to Mrs.
Susie Hammond, and as we are
now able to state authoritively that
she will accept the honor and take
up this very interesting work, we
cannot refrain from congratulating
the town on the selection. With
her known ability as an organizer,
and her keen sensibility to ways
ana means, we have no doubt the
Association will enter upon renew.

and Improvement of BerryvilIe.

That Surplus.

According to the report of Mr..
NJ w. Jones. who was recently
employed to examine the Treasur-
er's books of the town of Berry
vile. the town has "a clear balance
of 81, ,910.6f for improvements
We would like to ask, How did
il happen. if the town is so well
oG. that it was necessary to borrow
money from the Fire Company not
so very long agog"
We would also remind the tax
pavcrs that the money has not
been repaid to the Fire Company,
even if the town has a surplus.
Doesn't it seem rather strange
that the town should be paying
interest on borrowed money when
they have surplus in the Treas
ury with which they could pay of
the principal and end the interest
paying.
But, conceding for the sake of
argument, that the Town has a
surplus Of 81, ,91O.61, as shown by
Mr.. Jones, why does not sonic
member of the Council introduce a
measure appropriating money for
the erection of sidewalks where
there is none Cat the upper end of
Main street and on the hill on
Church street toward Millwood)
and for the repairs to walks where
it IS needed (all over the Town.
We are certainly glad to hear
that the Town has surplus on
hand, for we have labored under
the impression that Berryville was
pretty hard up, financially.
The taxpayers of this town, of
which this writer is one, have the
right to demand that any surplus
in the Town Treasury be appro-
priated for Improvements.
Everybody knows that we need
them.
We suggest that n special meet
ing of the Town Council be called
at once and the sum of 81, ,91O.61
be Immediately made available for
the construction and repair of side
walks.
Winter is coming on. and those
poor taxpayers (who have been
living in ignorance of this surplus)
who have been wading through
mud and clay and slush for many
winters past, should be relieved.
BY all means, let us use this
good surplus money for the good
of the town.

Jap and Russ.

Ten days ago, General Kuropat-
kin, commander OF the Russian
army, issued a long proclamation
to his troops in which he said:
The enemy, in his arrogance,
continues to dream of complete
victory.
The Emperor has assigned for
the conflict with Japan forces sufi-
cient 10 assure us victory.
Now the moment to meet the
enemy, for which the whole army
has been longing, has come.
The time has arrived for us to
compel the japanese to do our
will"
He also said that he was going
to the relief of his brethren at
Port Arthur.
Two days after his bombastic
proclamation, the japanese, under
the superb generalship of Field
Marshall Oyama, hit Kuropat-
kin blow that has cost him about
10000 men, nearly 100 cannon,
and thousands of rifles, ammuni-
tion, etc.
When Kuropatkin issued his
proclamation, the press of the
English-speaking countries united
in saying, why didn't he strike
and then talk about itl"
The japanese losses in this inn
mense battle, which is now official
ly called the battle of Sakhe River,
will probably be less than 10000.
Thus, as in every battle of the
war, the japanese have been the
attackers and have lost a much
smaller number of men in every
instance than the Russians, who
have been found behind entrench-
ments and Notifications.
The explanation of Kuropatkin' :
defeat is given from Russian
sources that Oyama attacked be-
fore he had made the proper dispo-
sition of his troops.
The whole war up to this time
has proven the valor of the Japa,
nese and their ability to whip the
Russians at every point in the
game.
The japanese are one of tn,
most patriotic races of the world
their country is one of freedom
and enlightenment. Their system
of public schools and educationa
facilities is very similar to that o
the United States.
On the other hand. Russia is ;
country of despotism and monar
chy. Only a limited percentag,
of the country's millions of inhabi
tants are allowed the privilege q
education, and the oppression o.
the poorer classes, especially the
Jews, has been an eye-sore to the
civilized countries for years.
Who can wonder at the triumph
of enlightenment and freedom Over
such country.
The feeling in this country anC
England is overwhelmingly il
favor of the japanese.
\ large number of their nava
officers are graduates of Annapolis
and a large number of their arm!
officers are graduates of Yves
Point and other military schools o
