A SMALL DRUNK.
Little Boy Given Whiskey by Negro
and Intoxicated.

A pathetic sight seen Yesterday was
that of a small and very much intoxi-
Gated boy who was picked up on the
railroad track by Policeman Rogers
and taken to the station house, where
he was detained till friends came after
him.
The boy was not more than eleven
years old, but he was exceeding
drunk. AS he went UP the sire ct
with the policeman, he lurched from
side to side and struck at passers by
with maudlin arms. A friend who
rescued him from the Station house,
said that his home was in Asbury
although the ticket found in his
pocket read from Cary and return.
The boy was questioned, but was
too drunk to give a clear account of
his experiences. He got the liquor,
he said from negro at the Fair
grounds, who gave him a drink from
a bottle.

Guns Occasionally Crash
Into ArtiIIey DueIs.
BATTLE COMES SOON
Such is the Expectation, and it is Al
so Thought by Correspondents
With the Russians That
They Will Take the
Offensive.
(Bv the Associated Press.)

With the Russian Eastern Army
Headquarters, BY Way of Mukden
Oct 22.-Both armies remain practi-
cally inactive. The Russians have re-
occupied Tantziaputzy. The Japanese
hold position on high ground sloping
down to the Shakhe river. There is
continual outpost fighting and snip
ing and the batteries occasionally en-
gage in a duel westwards.
General Mistchenko fought a brisk
engagement October 20. He reports
progress and the capture of guns.
The two armies are receiving fresh
supplies of ammunition. There is an
indication of an early renewal of hos
tiiities, with the Russians taking the
offensive.
The weather is cold.
A rough estimate of the Russian
losses during the recent battles places
them at $4,000, of which 10000 were
killed.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press who filed this dispatch was at

evening yesterday the fog lifted and
some of the Russian guns at various
points opened fire against the Japa-

A Sort of Grab Game.

1.-The pauper labor argument for the
tariff has for the most part dropped
out of sight. Industries that COM

have the audacity to say that the dir
ference of wages prevents them from

American market.
I'm place of the pauper labor argu-

tofore noted, the home market argu-
ment has been substituted and is now
relied on so far as any arguments are
used This assumes that without the
tariff and indeed without the SO per

no home market for the farmers pro-

is a bogy to brighten children. SO
childish is it in view of what Hamilton
told us of the flourishing condition or
large branches of manufacturing M
dustry more than century ago ana
of all that has transpired since that
no answer to it is required. The bare
statement of such an argument carries
its own refutation. What happened
under the low tariffs of 1916 and 1881!
Was there any lack of home market
