ing of older and more mature students

to our own conviction that 1t is de-
sirable to make our system so flexible
that the more mature or brighter need
not be retarded by the others. Ii has
been easy for many Of the children

THE INTERPRETATIONS OF PARKER.

Our title sounds ambitious, but we hasten TO
reasslre our readers. We are on no such high
emprise bent as the complete calculation of
the Parker mysteries. We merely wish to an
nounce the glad tidings that Tho Springfield
Republican" which contrives TO be happy with
the two charmers, Bryan and Parker generous
ly gives TO the world "a point Tor polnter?J in
the Interpretation OF Parker's speech" We
wish the credit for this important discovery TO
remain, where it belongs, with our interesting
Democratic contemporary.
The words In Judge Parker's speech which
1.-THE Republican" finds have given most pause
TO the intellects Of its contemporaries are those
he employs 20 promise the Philippines self
government" What is self-goyernmept? To
various minds IL has various meanings. as THE
Republican" sets FORTH but to The Repub-
lican' as Judge Parker Uses it, it means I'm.
doubtedly Independence" The process where
by 1.-The Republican" reached this conviction
tuness it felt il in its bones is contained in
the following words: THE only fair method of
interpreting his language is by reference to
''the Democratic national platform, which he
Endorsed admirable"
Admirable point In the Interpretation of
Parker! 1t had occurred to us that this test
might be applied to ascertain Judge Parker's
views on burning issues Of the platform ignored
in his speech OF acceptance, but for this cryptic
clew to the hidden meaning of his darkest most
devious and most non-committal passages we
must thank THE Springfield Republican"
| Where the judges words darken counsel turn
TO the platform. Whatever the Judge has said
whatever the judge shall say, the test Of his
meaning, according 10 1.-The Republican" is the
admirable" platform. We commend It to our
befosged contemporaries who angle for the
Judges views nmid his words with as little
avail as they did amid his Silence" We COM
mend it to Mr.. Bryan who must have COM
pared with interest what Judge Parker seemed
TO say abou, the trusts with what the peer
less leader from Nebraska injected regarding
that issue into the admirable" platform.
For ourselves we feel that we shall often have
occasion to use this admirable" test; and
! whenever we perforce employ 1t we shall not
forget that our gratitude is due to ''The Spring

In interpretation" We yield to none In our
admiration OF the platform as clearer-up Of

JAPAN IN EARNEST.

Nobody. we suppose expected the Russians
would surrender Port Arthur at the Japanese
demand. They would not do that no matter
how hopeless their condition was or how GER
tain The fortress was TO fall at the first attack.
But it might have been expected, certainly
hoped. that they would accept the Japanese offer
10 let non-combatants be removed. That offer.
however. has also been rejected, for reasons
which we may conjecture and which speak
more for the pride of the Russians than for
Iheir humanity. In consequence, we may now
expect to hear some grewsome tales of the
slaughter Of non-eembatants by japanese bonn
hsI0laent, and there may be those who will eI-
claim against the cruelty Of the japanese in
firing upon town containing women and chill
aren. Such criticism will, of course, be quite
unfounded. The blame for any slaughter of non
combatants will rest upon the Russians, and
upon them alone. The Japanese are humane
and merciful; but they are tremendously in
earnest They are fighting for national life
against an aggressor of vastly greater bulk than
themselves, and they cannot afford to lose
single point III the deadly game SO they will go
in and smash Port Arthur. no matter who may
get hurt.
We mus still regret, however, that Japanese
earnestness has gone far in some respects
The Ryeshitelni incident was deplOra ble and 1t

fone OF the Japanese "ultimatum" TO China
Let II be granted that, on the tn quoque ground
there is ample prOvocation for such things
There is. The case Of the Russian gunboat
Manchuris, early in the war. convinced the
Japanese that Chinese neutrality would be
abused by the Russians unless Japan took mat
fers into her OWL hands. We suppose nobody
doubts that the Manchuria would despite all
promises and protestations. have been run out
OF asylum and intb service at the very first op-
portunity had not the japanese gone in with
force and arms and presented a real ultmatun
more such work in the case Of the Ryeshiteini
and in the case of the Askold, and on that basis
the japanese may technically justify their cx-
traordinary action. Nevertheless, IL does not
seem that it was necessary for them to do so.
They could have afforded TO respect Chinese
neutrality and TO trust TO Russian faith. Had
mat neutrality been abused and that faith
broken, the consequences might not have been
as bad for them as the unpleasant impression
which their bigh-handed conduct has produced
they could have afforded TO return good for
evil, as they did in the case OF the Rurik A
