Russian Stock Announcements.

At times of extreme Russian gloom one
or another of three propositions is certain
to be exploited:
% feet is to be dispatched to drive
Admiral Togo away from the mouth of
Port Arthur and re-establish Russian con-
troll of the sea. The ships are ready and in
the pink of condition. Officers and men
are eager to be off. The enterprise has
been blessed, religiously and otherwise. AS
this force approaches what remains of the
Port Arthur feet will emerge from the
harbor there, and the japanese, taken thus
between two fires. will be finished in Il
jify. The strength of the proposition is in
Its extreme simplicity; and that it will
work to a charm seems not to be in
doubt.
(2) The car has decided to- go to the
front and show himself on the firing line.
He has been anxious to take this step
from the beginning. He means no criticism
of Gen. Kuropatkin. He will not take af
fairs into his own hands. But he feels that
his presence on the scene of conflict will
arouse enthusiasm both there and at home.
The WHOLE Russian nation will thrill with
pride and satisfaction. and throw itself into
the struggle with unbounded ardor. He
will go, and will return in triumph.
N5) Russia Will listen TO no suggestions as
to peace. She has hardly begun to fight.
The defeats she has suffered have not
been wholly out of her reckoning. She
could see the advantages which at the out
set Japan would enjoy. But the time ap-
proaches for the tide to turn, and Rus
STA purposes to press her case then to the
utmost. The outside world must keep
hands off. Japan will be made to foot
the whole enormous bill. and the papers
will be signed at Tokyo. The world at
large may not like this. but 1t is Russia's
way of doing business. and in this matter
she is tremendously in earnest.
Two of these propositions are pure bun
combe. No Russian fleet is on the eve of
sailing for the far east and the car has no
notion of presenting himself on the firing
line in Manchuria. Such a step on his part
would be folly. His picture carried up and
down the lines of the troops would answer
as good a purpose. He is not a soldier
and could contribute nothing to council
of war in camp. AS to the other PROPOSE
ton, does Russia, by harpng on the asser-
ton that she will not listen to peace pro-
posals, really invite them?

Filthy Bank Notes.
From the Baltimore Sun.

A valued correspondent of the Sun calls
attention to the filthy condition of the bank
notes and greenbacks kept in circulation in
the country towns. with the inevitable
erect OF spreading all manner of conta-
glous diseases broadcast over the land :"
Every one now and then, even in the cities.
receives a note which is foul beyond de-
scription. 1t is filthy lucre'' in a most real
sense. But in the rural districts the evil is
more marked. owing to the apparent fndis-
position OF the country banks to exchange
thelr dlrty paper money frequently for
fresh clean, crisp new notes. The govern
ment oners new notes in exchange for old
ones, II the handlers of soiled notes will
put send them for exchange. 1t is not ONLY
nicer to pay out clean notes, but it is to
some extent duty of the banks in city and
country to do so. AS our correspondent
says, disease is spread abroad BY notes
which circulate after having been too long
In the hands of the public Every touch of
the hand leaves a microscopic part of it's
substance upon the note and it is always
possible, or probable that the filthy mole
which has passedfhrough a hundred hands
bears on its surAce dangerous germs of dis
ease. In the interest of the public health
the practice of exchanging old notes for
new should be more generally cultivated.

The Tables Turned.
Drawbacks to South's Progress.


The brave< surviving confederate who
took up arms on one side of controversy
which could be settled definitely. every
thing considered. in no other way than by
force of arms, is today among the most
loyal supporters of flag and country. He
has accepted honorably and finally the de-
cision rendered on the field of honor His
share in all things typified by the flag, In
every tradition, every glory, every security
of country, is as large as that of any other
man, not excepting the noble survivors of
the federal army itself. He fought with
American valor as his conscience dictated
and lost. The victors fought with Amer
lean bravery as their convictions ordered
and won. Their victory is now the con-
federates' to fully share, enjoy and profit
by.
There is no feeling of hostility to flag or
country in the United States outside a few
office holders and office seekers, who OBJ
tain their ends by appeals to prejudice
The south is afflicted with few such men
happily growing fewer year after year
They are stumbling blocks to southern
progress They belong to a period rather
of bygohe colonalism than OF present-day
continentalism.

tiers or petty sptes 10 interfere with his

stranger. yet along with his best friends
chronicles your success and sorrows wher-
ever you may be. and those who would
otherwise forget you are ever and anon re-
minded of your existence by an item in
your home paper Others may deceive and
defraud you, but your home paper never
forgets you. Possibly you do not deserve
decent treatment by the paper. but YOU
get it just the same. and if it should at
any time say things to cause your fur to
turn the wrong way, study a moment and
see if it has not at various times said many
nice things for which you fail to give II
credit.

their color.

change of scene, air and environment.

Increase of the Socialist Vote.

Times Democrat.
The Socialists are disposed to do :;
little growing over the recent election
and they have good reason for it.
They are claiming that over 6WO. 900
votes we're cast for their ticket last
Tuesday. and as their candidate.
Debs. received only 96, 9lS votes in
! 1900, it will be seer that the Socialists
have made greater in four years than
any other party. OF course. the
| Socialist vote was mainly in the North,
especially in the big cities: but even
in the South it made its appearance
this year--in many cases for the first
time. Louisiana and Mississippi. in
which States the name Socialist"
was scarcely heard before, have found
the nucleus of an organization formed
here.
AS expected, Illinois leads the
Socialist ranks with $4,000 votes.
Most of these are from Chicago,
which city has always shown strong
Socialist prOclivities. In its large
foreign population are included many
thousands of Socialist of the most
advanced and radical type. like those
who participated in the Haymarket
riots. Debs has always been popular
among a certain element there, and
it is natural hat he should poll a
large vote. New York ONT second,
| with $4,000 Socialist votes. less than
the Socialist hoped fOr-they were
counting on LOO, OOO-but enough to
encourage them to renewed efforts.
Pennsylvania polled $4,000 and
Indiana the same number of votes:
and in nearly all the States the
Socialist got good vote-very good
if comparison be made with 1900.
Those who think the movement
merely a spasmodic political out
break are likely to find themselves
mistaken. If the Socialist party
shows such gains and SO large a vote
during a period of comparative
prosperity, what would it have done
had the election occurred in the midst
of a panic and industrial depression?
Can there be any doubt that they
would have polled the one million
votes they hoped for? The Socialist
party is probably the most active to-
day in the matter of PROSECUTING and
in winning recruits to its ranks: and is
steadily gaining strength among the
laboring classes, especially in our
great cities
The tendency Of the dominant
Republican part, its drift towards the
trusts and. to become the representa-
tive of capital, will tend to further
strengthen and build up the Socialists.
Throughout the world that party has
been growing of late. Our belief that
it would not thrive in the United
States. that there yer conditions in
this country which would prevent
| Socialism ever getting a fOothOld
here is proved by last Tuesdays
vote to be utterly without foundation.
We will have to face this problem
sooner Dr. later, just as Germany,
France, Belgium, Italy and other
European countries are doing: and we
will face it all the sooner if the
Republicans remain in power.
