The Savannah morning news., 1904-01-13

According to a Paris cablegram In
the Herald the real issue in the Far
East is between England and Russia,
not between Russia and Japan. Eng
land is back of Japan and is directing
her in the diplomatic contest now 60
ing on, and which has been going on
for months, between the latter and
Russia, 1t is true of course that there
are questions between Russia and ia
pan, the latter's interests in Manchu-
ria being menaced and the formers
efforts to get a foothold in Corea be-
ing resisted. 1t seemed to us weeks
ago that the real question was whether
Russia or Japan should be the DOM
mating influence in the Far East, but
the information from Paris is that
England is afraid that II Russia is
successful in getting what she is seek
ing in Manchuria and Corea there will
be an end of English influence in the
Far East. China will fall under the
sway of Russia and England will cease
to be factor in that empire.
This may be the true situation. 1t is
worthy of notice that since the nego-
tiations between Russia and Japan
began England has been in close touch
with Japan. AS is we'll known she has
a treaty with her which requires that
she shall go to Japan's assistance in
the event of the latter being attacked
by more than one Power. For a long
time England has been jealous of Rus
sia's progress in the Far East, and has
sought for means to check it. 1t may
be that she is pushing Japan to the
front with the hope of accomplishing
through her what she has thus far
failed to accomplish herself.
If this is the true situation then
there isn't much prospect of peace at
this time, since Russia, understanding
the situation, will not grant what ia
pan is demanding and Japan will not
make concessions. If England is the
main factor in the situation she will
have to show her hand before long,
She cannot remain in the background.
The diplomatists may continue their
negotiations, but as they will accom-
plish nothing war must come unless
one party or the other backs down.

spondence of the New York Tribune.
Nearly every day he welcomes from
five to fifteen newspaper men at that

Gently he was talking to a dozen news

the correspondents were anxious to get

scented him had asked for hearing
from the Secretary before final action
was taken on the report.

ST. LOUIS SELECTED.

Contrary to expectations the Demo
cratic National Committee selected St
Louis as the place for holding the
national convention, and July
as the date of its meeting. 1t seems
that the contest was between Chicago
and st. Louis, New York not being Sc
riously considered. While the reason
for selecting St. Louis is not stated,
the inference is that it was thought
that in Chicago there would be con-
siderable newspaper influence brought
to bear in favor Of one of the candi-
dates. In discussions that had pre-
coded the meeting of the committee
the sentiment seemed to be in favor Of
having the convention meet sometime
in June. Doubtless the reasons for a
later date were good ones.
1t is probable that the fact that the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition will be
open at the time of the meeting of
the convention had something TO do
with determining the place of holding
the convention. Most of those who
will attend the convention would no
doubt visit the fair, even If st. Louis
had not been selected. The selection
of that city therefore will save them
time and money.
Mr.. Bryan did not attempt to influ-
ence the committee in favor of either
of the cities named, though it is known
that he was against New York. 1t is
Drohable that he is very well satisfied
with the selection. He was given a
very cordial reception by members of
the committee and met a number of
them at his hotel after the commit
tee had concluded its business. The
proceedings of the committee were
very harmonious and the feeling SEEM
ed to be that the outlook for the sue

OVERWORkED EMPLOYEES.

Senator Stewart of Nevada is afraid
that the employees of the government
are overworked. According to the law
they are required to give the govern
ment seven hours service a day.
They have been giving six and a half
hours. They go to work at 8 a. M,
and quit at p. m, taking a half an
hour for lunch. Attention was called
to the matter recently by d reformer,
and the President ordered a strict
compliance with the law. This brought
protests, and so senators and repre-
sentatives are now wrestling with the
matter.
But why should congressman bother
about it? The law is plain, and it cam
not be said that the government gets
too much work for it's money. AS a
matter of fact it gets comparatively
little service from most of it's employees
in the departments at Washington.
There are so many clerks that they
are in each others way.
Most of those who are employed by
the government would have to work
ten hours day if they were employ
ed by corporations or individuals, and,
that too, for less money than the gov
eminent pays them. If they could
earn more than the government pays
them they would not be in the govern
ment employment. AS matter of
fact not half of them could earn
enough to buy board and lodging if
they were thrown upon their own re-
sources. They would be glad to work
ten, and even twelve, hours a day if
the government should discharge
them.
Many of the government employees
want to do as little as they can for
the money they receive. They wouldn't
work three hours day if they could
have their way. The work they do
isn't hard. On the contrary, it Is very
easy. If the truth were known it
doubtless would appear that numbers
of them take an hour for their lunch
instead of half an hour, so that the
| government has really been getting
only about six hours work out of them
day. 1t wouldn't be surprising if
Congress should reduce their work.
ing time per day to six hours and a
half. Then there would soon be be-
gun an agitation for reduction to six
hours.
There Is . class of the employees of
the government that is required to
work eight hours a day. There is no
good reason why department clerks
should have shorter hours than the
mechanics in the shipyards and the
laborers on public works.
congressman do not seem to take
into consideration the interests of the
public. They are much freer with the
public money than they are with their
own.

A week or so ago we commented on
a report alleged to be on the authority
of DR.. H. K. Pancoast. of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, to the effect
that it had been found the x-ray would
bleach the skin of negro and cause
it to become as white as that of a
Caucasian. and this without injuring
the tissues of the skin. 1t was the
understanding that certain experiments
had been madesin this line, and that
they had been successful. DR.. PAN
coast has explained in a Philadelphia
paper that no such experiments have
been made and that none will be made.
In a certain case of cancer on the
face of negro, the skin around the
affected flesh had turned white after
a years treatment of the cancer with
the x-ray; that was the basis of the
story. DR.. Paneoast says 1t is hardly
likely that the coloring pigment of
the skin could be destroyed without
destroying the; skin itself, but that in
any event, it would be very long,
tedious, painful land expensive opera
