Being as how We Democrats or the
South are expected to whoop things up
pretty strong for o William Ran
dolph Hearst for President, We would
lust like to know whether the young
candidate was responsible Tor the po-
sition of his papers on the late negro
disfranchisement movement In North
Carolina and other southern states. He
wasn't running for office hen.0Cha
lotte Observer.
Mr.. Hearst would hardly refuse to
stand responsible for any position on
public matters taken by his newspapers
Even If he did the public would Still
hold him SO. Before Mr.. Hearst sent
his agents south to secure the sup
port of the democracy Of this section
he should have hedged on this matter
as we'll as that of enforcement OF
payment of bonds which the southern
states had refused to recognize
of the fraudulent manner of their is
sue and sale. However, this is Of no
consequence now, for Mr.. Hearst is
so far behind in the race for the NOM
ination hat he can hardly be consid-
cred as in the runnins. 1t is farcical
to class him now as a candidate. A few
weeks ago his candidacy was a menace
t the democratic party. 1t Is no long
er so. Of the three hundred and two
votes from the southern states, in the
national convention, he will have a
mere handful if he gets any at all. He
stands no show in New York or Mass
achusetts. In the central west and
northwest, where he thought his
strength lay. it has been shown that
he has no strength. Even Kansas,
the hotbed of populism, n where the
democratic partv is tainted with this
principle more than anywhere else he
develops little strength. He is already
such a back number that it is a waste
of thought to speculate as to whether
he held this or that view as express
ed in the columns of his newspaper.

FRIDAY, APRIL IS, 904
THE WAR IN THE EAST.

The dispatches announce h loss
Of another Russian b%attleship at Port
Arthur. The casualties must have
been very heavy, as it is announced
that only four OF the officers OF the
vessel were saved, and that Vice-Ad-
miral Marakoff was among those
killed. The ship lost was Of 10,690
IONS displacement
This is a heavy blow to h Rus
slams She has not any battleshfps
to spare in the Pacific waters. and it
will be some time in the summer be-
fore the Baltic fleet can reach Port
Arthur, even if it has no difficulties to
sontend with on the way. The sink
ing Of this battleship is another evil
japanese navy. 1t is victorious
whenever II meets the enemy. 1t is
true it has done little toward the
destruction OF the forts and land bat
teries at Port Arthur, but this Is a
difficult species OF naval warfare. 1t
will be remembered what little effect
eur big warships a on the batteries
at Santiago. while the Spanish a
ships could not begin to contend with
them.
If the Japanese could only be as
successful on land as they are on
water, the war would soon come to an
end. The Russians seem to get the
better Of them whenever their troops
meet, though there has yet been no
heavy engagement. The affair which
occurred on the Yalu river the other
day was claimed by the Russians to
evidence the superiority OF their land
forces over those Of the japanese.
The latter got h worst of it surely.
but they were taken by surprise and
had to light under great difficulties
and against a superior force. The
fact that the Japanese scouts were
taken by surprise does not, under the
circumstances, show greater strategic
ability on the part Of the Russians.
The Japanese seem to be getting
ready for some important movements,
which will most probably bring on
a pitched battle, unless the Russians
are able to evade them. The latter's
policy still seems to be that of wait
ing for more reinforcements. What
this Japanese movement is no one
but those in authority knows The
officials have kept secret their in
tentions and the movements Of their
forces to a remarkable degree.
We do not see how present condi-
lions can continue much longer. The
two armies must soon come together
in a battle of such magnitude as to
fully demonstrate the comparative
qualifications of the opposing forces

MR.. BRYAN HARD PUSHED.

Mr.. Bryan is certainly hard-pushed
of Judge Parker when he has to take
such a position as he did in The Com
moner Of the Sth instant. He says
that there is no doubt that the cor
porate interests nav an understand
ing with the judge. To show that
he should not be nominated and that
he stands in with the big corpora
tons. The Commoner calls attention
to h fact hat the three judges of
the supreme court appointed by Mr..
Cleveland dissented from the judg-
ment of that court in the
Northern Securities case, and that, as
Judge Holmes stood with them it
would require only n more to
change the decision.
Mr.. Bryan seems to forget that
Judge Parker's chief strength so far
as his own state is concerned, and
upper sections away from III big
cities and the homes of the trusts
and corporations. He forgets that
it is the rural districts of that
state which are demanding his NOM
ination for president, and that when
he was elected to the state supreme
court he received a majority of sixty
odd thousand at an election in which
the republicans were successful in all
the other contests, and hat the
judges chief support came from the
section of the state above Harlem
river

EULOGIES ON CONFEDERATE

We do mot believe In barking back
Of making comparisons. but the fol-
lowing article is so remarkable. consid-
ering its source hat we think 1t should
be published in the southern newspa-
pers. It Is from the Letter Box" in
The Bookman magazine for April The
editor says:
A reader in eastern Pennsylvania
asks the following question:
In your opinion are Generals Grant
and Lee to be reckoned in the first rank
OF the worlds great soldiers!
As a civilian we fell a certain reluc-
lance to express any opinion upon this
subject. So far. however, as our own
studies have instructed US n so far
also as the views OF impartial military
critics abroad nay be regarded as val
liable, We are inclined to think that
IL is quite certain that General Grant
has no claim to be classified among the
worlds great generals. For doggedness,
courage, tenacity and an utter disre-
gard OF difficulties he was b equal OF
any soldier who ever lived; but in the
higher intellectual qualities which en-

was inferior to Sherman. whose march
to the sea, cutting loose from his base
in defiance Of the formulas Of military
text books. was the one really magnfh-
cent exhibition OF genius on the union
side throughout the war. 1t caused the
collapse of the Confederacy. and by
taking Lee in the rear it compelled his
surrender. for which Grant has receiv-
ed all the popular credit. AS for Gen
eral Lee If not among the worlds very
greatest commanders, he certainly
comes near the line which separates
them from generals Of the second class.
The skill with which he outmaneuvered
and outfought armies that were double
his own that were perfectly equip
ped. while his men lacked nearly every
thing, must give him an enduring fame.
Possibly the greatest military genius
who appeared during the whole war
was .'StonewalT' Jackson, though he
fell too soon for any n to form a
sound comparative judgment OF him;
and the same thing may be said OF
Albert Sidney Johnston. Impartial stu
dents of military history can scarcely

tary genius the south outmatched the
