THAT d" BIG REVOLT" is BUT A RIP
PIE ON THE TIDE. The Olympian
gloats over the report that King coun.
ty Democrats have organized an anti
Tnrner club, and that it has over " a
hundred members" when it, farther on
in its gush, admits that all who could
be mustered at meeting held, few
evenings ago, only 81 we're present.
1t is but fair to surmise that the re.
naming 40 on Oly's membership roll
were too cowardly to come into the
open" or only exist in his imagina-
ton. If that is the best that the or.
ganized opposition it has taken many
weeks to perfect, can do, they might
just as we'll cease their labors. The
votes OF such determined men will not
probably be sacrificed on any candi-
date who stands no chance OF election,
nor cast for candidate whose chief
party organ says is doomed to inevi-
table defeat, though he be the nomi.
nee OF what has been the dominant
party.

Sit Amid the Flames While Enemy
Approaches Their Barracks.
Mukden, Dec. 22.-Apparently there
is little personal animosity toward the
Japanese among the European Rus
slams. The Russian reservist goes out
to fight simply because the emperor
wills 1t, and takes little interest in the
political reasons involved in the strug-
gle. But with the Siberians it is diff
ferent. The war is closed to their ma
tive soil and they regard the Japanese
as their natural enemies. For this
reason the only animosity that has
been displayed toward the Japanese
wounded has been in those hospitals
where there were a majority of ST.
.berians, The Sisters of Mercy on the
other hand have shown a decided par
tiality for Japanese patients and there
has been some jealousy aroused among
the Siberians who thought the Japan
ese were getting the best of it," at
the hands of the nurses.
Most of the japanese wounded have,
therefore. been placed in the hospitals
with Russian soldiers. The Finlanders
almost alone of the Europeans take in
terest in the politics of the fighting. but
they make none the worse soldiers for
that. One of the most inexr licable
things to. the Russian soldier is the
fact that the Japanese commits sui
eide when endangered with defeat.
There are so many eye witnesses to re-
ports of this nature that 1t is impos-
sible to discredit them all.
Japanese officers especially seem to
make practice of saving their last
cartridge for themselves. A Russian
