HILL TO RETIRE

The announcement Of David B..
Hill that after the approaching cleo
tion he will cease to take any active
part in politics and that he will not
seek or accept any elective or apposi-
tive office, will relieve the minds Of a
great many people who entertain an
immoderate dislike Of the man.
Perhaps Of all the fairly successful
party leader Of either party now 10
public life, Hill has been the most
widely distruSted. Yet his private
life is said to be irreproachable and
his personal honor without a stain.
He has discharged the duties of the
public offices which he has held with
eminent ability, courage and faithful.
ness. But the people have always
regarded him as a wiley, tricky
politician, and the people, while they
may for a time be deceived are rarely
ever long wrong in their estimate Of
public men. There must be a great
deal Of the medieval Italian in Hills
political morals. He is particularly
disliked in his own state, and the
amazing thing is that in spite OF un-
popularity he has been able to main.
tain himself as a compelling force
there.
1t must be a source Of pain to Hill
that his promise Of withdrawal from
public life will serve the purpose Of
adding enthusiasm to the democratic
hosts Of the empire state and Of en-
listing thousands of Independents 10
support Of Judge Parker. This act Of
HIPS may even prove decisive Of the
presidential contest. And it must
strongly affect the estimation in
which Hill will henceforth be held
by serious men, 1t adds a touch OF
the Sidney Carton to a possibly mis-
judged character.

The Kansas City Board OF Educa-
tion has been wrestling with the
question Of textbook OF United States
history. It is a little singular that
McMaster's book should ever have
been adopted anywhere in Missouri.
It was written for one Of our great
school book publishing houses In pur-
Suance Of a resolution OF the G. A. r.
organization, and was never intended
TO be judicial in its treatment Of
slavery and the war between the
states. 1t was a better book though,
than was contracted for; and 1t is
worth noting that the G. A. r. was
so much dissatisfied with it that some
of the state organizations repudiated
it in resolutions adopted years ago.
Still the Kansas City schools chung to
the book until last week, when
change was made to Gordy's.

In this issue of the INTELLIGENCER
will be found an interesting letter
from Mr.. George Wilson upon the
subject Of the Russian and japanese
races and the war. There is a large
and in point Of scholarship most
respectable minority Of the American
people who warmly sympathize with
Russia in this struggle on the grounds
of race affinity and national friend
ship. There is a small number that
is influenced by fears Of ''the yellow
peril' the intellectual improvement
and territorial expansion of the yellow
races. The INTELLIaENCER has
taken a curious interest rather than
a partisan one Of the struggle now
going on. The writer believes that II
there is a yellow peril it is industrial
and not military, distant and not
near, and threatening only to those
parts Of the white race which might
fall prey under the operation Of the
law of the survival Of the tittest.
This law is one Of the most comfort.

WYNN ~ NN1
The campaign in Missouri has been
opened and now 1t is the proper and
becoming thing for all democrats to
60 cheerfully to work for the ticket,
the whole ticket, national, state aud
county. Nearly everybody who
usually votes the democratic ticket
will vote for both Parker and Folk,
and the sooner complaining ceases,
the sooner will this comfort be with
drawn from the common enemy,
Since the Folk.Stone controversy the
St. Louis Post Dispatch has ceased
its fight on part Of the state ticket,
and so far as anybody knows the war
may now proceed for an unbroken
democratic victory.
10 the very nature Of the case, both
because Of the formal declaration Of
the democratic state platform and
the character Of the preliminary con-
test, the subject Of official corruption
must be more than ordinarily promi-
nent In discussions on the stump
and in public prints, And since
there are no democratic metropolitan
papers In the state worthy Of the
name, this discussion is snre to take
such form as to SANDER democratic
record In Missouri and to cast insinu.
ations,at the characters upon men held
In honor by the democratic masses.
But the masses can certainly afford
TO be as magnanimous as the defeated
leaders. Bryan In the national cam
paign has proven himself a far bigger
man than his former enemies ever
gave him credit for being; and In the
state campaign HAYES and Reed have
both served notice that they are In
line with armor on. Most of those
who refused to vote for Bryan in '96
and 1900, without having changed
their views on economic questions,
would vote for him now, because Of
his course since the st. Louis conven-
ton. II the Western democracy fol-
lows Bryan's example Of loyalty to
the party's leader, the Eastern
democracy will never distrust it In
the future as 1t has in the past.
Very much Of the same situation is
presented In the state compaign.
The people became aroused over a
moral issue, and though in some
particulars they have proceeded in a
headlong and injurious way, the hon.
esty Of popular impulses is not to be
questioned for an instant. Nogreater
or more permanent injury could be
done to the morale Of the democratic
party In the state than for any con-
siderable number Of democrats to
refuse support to any man on the
ticket. There are some very extreme
views entertained In regard to Folk
on the one hand and 10 regard to
Cook and Allen on the other. But
such is the state OF the public mind
in Missouri that no opposition to any
of these men can be INDUCED 10 with
out offense to large bodies of demo-
crsts-Offense that would manifest
itself more and more in years to
come. Nothing is ever lost by
magnanimitY and nothing ever gained
by quarreling.

The Russo-Japanese war has afford
ed to the world a lesson in hospital
service which will surpass In value
every other lesson Of the conflict.
Reports from some OF the hospitals,
II they can be trusted, show that less
than q In a Thousand of durable
wounds treated have resulted badly.
OF course the field hospitals car make
no such showing, but there is IN
doubtedlY formation for the claim
that the wounded nave been better
cared for in this war and that wounds
have been more scientifically treated
than ever before in the history Of the
world. In all cases where time has
been afforded Japan ships have been
thoroughly secured before going into
action, and 10 all cases no matter how
pressing the occasion japanese sailors
have been required to dress in fresh
clothes before exposing
themselves to wounds Of any kind.
The japanese at least have enforced
cleanliness in camp and persons such
as has never before been attempted,
and the result has amply justified the
effort.

There is not a ghost Of a chance

AN interesting legal point was
raised against Judge Samuel Davis Of
this district, called as a special judge
to try a murder case at Pennington
last week. The attorneys denied the
eligibility Of Judge Davis on the
ground that he is judge Of a civil
court and the case being a criminal
case, would not have come before
him If the crime had been committed
in his district. Judge Davis over
ruled the objection, but the attorneys
served notice that they would at once
apply to the supreme court for a
writ Of prohibition. The court took
a recess until the supreme court
could pass upon the matter. The
supreme court denied the writ and
the case proceeded.
