smell the drained glass. The least dis

in the whisky. Perfect distillation
means the careful separation of the

the poisonous, impure, essential grain
oil, (phlegms, faints, fuseI), from the
middling product, good, potable spirit.

Chefoo, Aug. 2S.-Information
which to a great extent confirms
previous reports of the conditions at
Port Arthur was received today by
junks which left there On August
"a and 26. The most important
statement by the passengers on these
junks who were interviewed by the
correspondent of the Associated
Press confirms the reports that the
Russians have been driven from the
fort Immediately east Of the rail-
road. This fort is named Rihluu-
chan, and is located on the tail ol
the Dragon Hills, along the sum-
mits Of which the eastern defenses
of Port Arthur are built.
When the Russian forces retired
from Fort Itzshan they entered Fort
No. 15. to the north of Chao Chan
ko. During the nights of August
18 and 10, while it was raining, the
japanese attempted to storm Fort
Antszshan, which is a strong posi-.
ton adjoining Itzshan towards thf
| city, but they were repuised with
heavy losses.

Londop, Aug. 2e-The London
papers this morning have numer-
GUS special dispatches from the Far
East, most~of them dealing with
the position of Port Arthur. 1t is
pointed out that the Japanese tao
tics are very similar to those adopt
ed by General Oyama in 1894.
Equal interest is displayed here
in what is regarded as the precari-
Gus position of General Kuropat-
kin's forces. According to a dis
patch to the Daily Mail from Kou-
papgtze, dated August 27, Russian
staff officers confess themselves
completely in the dark, as to the
meaning of the japanese move
ments and that consequently they
have no definite plan.
Ten days ago, feeling that Lao
Yang would be surrounded, Gener-
al Kuropatkin began to draw his
troops northward. Then On the
Japanese retiring he brought them
back again, but continued his prep
arations for a retreat.
There is no doubt. says the cor.
respondent, that the Russian army
is now completely at the mercy oi
the japanese whenever they choose
to attack. raj re-.
The Lao Yang correspondent oi
the Daily Telegraph, in a dispatch
dated August %, says that the Jap.
anese, are pushing in against three
sides of the city, near which there
is continuous, fighting. A greal
quantity of transportation has been
sent north, leaving Liao Yang ready
for all eventualities.
The Japanese are reported to be
adopting new method of night at
tack. They concentrate search
lights on the point attacked thus
preventing the garri on from seeing
anything.
The Tientsin correspondent O
the Standard, discussing the dist
ance the Japanese are now from
Port Arthur, declares that they arr

town. sowing to the fire from th'

mande,, the correspondent says
has ordered that no shells be thrown
into town, for the sake Of the non
combatants.
The attempt to attack the fort
from the outside lines, both to th'
westward and eastward. will ad
vance from the north with a view
of assaulting the forts from the in
side. The correspondent adds tina
owing to the extensive mine ares
the cooperation of the fleet is diff

Protective Tariffs.

The Attempt of Democracy to XIII
Protective Tariffs.
The Democratic party in national
convention at ST. Louis declared pro-
lection to be robbery. The leading
Parker organs are uvowed enelates OF
the protective tariI, says the Troy
Times. The foremost Democratic ora
tors, such as BOuke Cochran, are
avOwed free traders.
The most important economic issue
now before the American people is the
question Of the tariff, as ii Is rhe most
vital issue In other countries OF the
globe. On this question the Democrat
ic party and its leaders have been con-
sistently opposed to the protective
tariff. Everybody remembers Grover
Cleveland's free trade message. The
Democratic party has placed itself on
record again and again as opposing a
tariff whose intent is the protection OF
the wage Garner. And now witti blind
bOldness the Democrats Ut st. Louis
reiterate their parrot cry that protec-
ton is robbery.

ing his wages and standard Of living

Associate Judges Paid According 10 The
Amount oil Work They Execute.


Ia its issue of October 5ih, 1904,
Sullivan Herald makes the follwing
statement: "For the year ending
August 81, 1903, Associate Judge
Jacob A. Meyers of this county re-
ceived as salary $392.95 while Assoc
late Judge Reeser received for the
same year $917.10. Why it is Judge
Reeser receives mofe than twice as
much salary as Judge Meyers we are
unable to explain. The two Asso-
ciate Judges sit upon the same bench
during the same session of court and
each reside about an equal distance
from the county seat. y = If we
were to attempt an explanation as to
why Judge Reeser's salary so great
ly exceeds that of Judge Meyer we
could only attribute it to the possi-
bility that Reeser may sit little
closer to Judge Dunham than to
Judge Meyers
This statement is intended to
mislead the general public. and to
arouse public sentiment against an
honorable public officer. That
there should be a vast difference in
the respective salaries of Judges
Meyers and Reeser is readily seen
when the residence of each and the
manner in which Associate Judges
earn their salaries is taken into
consideration. Judge Reeser lives
at Dushore where there are a num-
Der OF lawyers, and where the
greater amount of legal documents
are prepared. AS it is one of the
duties of an Associate Judge to ad-
minister oaths and make acknowl-
edgements for which he is COM
PEELED to obtain remuneration from
the State per diem, since he is not
allowed to charge the person max
ing the oath or acknowledgement.
Judge Meyers on the other hand
lives where comparatively few legal
transactions take place, his salary
necessarily is smaller than that of
Judge Reescr.
The Herald, however, is not
laboring very hard nowadays for
the enlightenment Of its readers,
and would be pleased if by hook or
crook it could mislead the people
when the subject is on some one of
the Sullivan County Officers.
The comparison might be carried
little farther so as to include our
sister county of Wyoming. Why
not come out John and give the
salary of Brother-in-law Harvey
Sickler who lives at the county seat
and who therefor has no mileage,
and whose salary for the year end
ing August 81, 1903, was 1894. 90.
And then take Judge Vaughn also
of Wyoming whose salary was
Sl569. 80 for the same length of
time. But then if you did that
John you would have to explain
how and Of what Associate Judges
salaries are made up, and that
would enlighten some one.

Nine years ago water at the Wes-
tralia gold fields was dearer than beer
In London. At special times half
crown a gallon was paid for newly con-
densed water still warm from the con-
denser, and at the best OF times no one
grumbled at shilling gallon. The
publican passed the whisky bottle over
for his customer to help himself. but
he measured carefully the amount OF
water mixed with the whisky. The pop
ular sysem of bathing was to have
bucket of water with false bottom
held over your head. The bottom was
removed with jerk, and the water ran
down into tub on the floor. There 1t
was collected to serve for the next
conner, as it had probably served for
half q dozen before you. This cost half
q crown. Scarcity Of water and bad
ness of food brought on the great ty-
phoid fever epidemics from which the
gold fields suffer to this day, and lads
hunting for wealth died off as though
the hand of God had passed in anger
over the place.
