Ktkuchi was one of the sailors who
went to block up Port Arthur. Just
before his departure he wrote to his
wife these few lines:

my wife and will behave accordingly"
These few words show the spartan
spirit Of the Japenese to suffer in 81

The Company's Responsibility

Officials of the Western Union Telegraph
Company have issued a statement regard
ing their relations with the pool rooms and
other places where gambling on the news
transmitted by their wires is conducted.
They justify their action In selling such
news in terms of their legal obligations as
common carriers. citing case in court
which went against them after one of their
agents had refused to receive a dispatch on
the score of its improperly. The court held
in that case. it appears that the corpora
ton cannot establish a censorship over the
messages offered to 1t, but must send all
regardless of their possible bearing upon
the public morals. This is sound reasoning
and doubtless sound law and is not to be
disputed. even in the light of the undenia-
bly, urgent need Of seyering the pool rooms
from their source of news supply The
business world would soon be all awry II
the telegraph companies were to establish
standards of fitness and morality In terms
of their own choosing. But the Iaw-mak-
ing power can and in this case certainly
should interpose its own definitions of what
is right and proper for transmission over
an agency of this description
1t is unnecessary for the telegraph COM
panies to assume a yirtuous attitude in
justification. They are In business to make
money The offer which one of the West

worth. That brings to the front the real
issue of the case In the absence of specific
legislation regulating this relationship. Is
this common carrier bound by the law to
engage in transactions with business
which the law itself condemns as improper
and punishable. especially IL those trans
actions are the sole means whereby the IL

Life in Washington,
From the Boston Globe.

FROM the Boston Globe.
1t is pity that the founders of the gov
eminent could not have located the capital
of the nation somewhat farther north
where the climate would have been a little
less oppressive in summer But it is none
the less true that every season witnesses
rapid additions to the circles of dlstin-
guished and wealthy people who select
Washington for their winter residence
And more and more, too, is Washington
being selected as the winter home of sub
stantial people from northern cities The
rentals for residences adapted to entertain
ment are more reasonable in Washington
than in New York, Philadelphia or Boston,
and the custom has sprung up for wealthy
people and those prominent in society to
rent their own homes in northern cities
and come to Washington for the season,
where they can enjoy. not only milder
climate. but the refined atmosphere of art
and literature as we'll as the gossip of ma
tional politics.
OF course, among the offsets to such asso-
Citations are the frivolities and absurdities
of the 400" such as provoked the keen
satire of Henry Watterson, but besides the
eminent diplomats one meets at the ma
tional capital there are lots of artists, scien-
lists and literary people whose regulations
do not rest on foundation of dollars and
who go to make the social atmosphere de-
Hghtful.
The capital of a great nation is bound to
bring together something better than a
mere mixture of politics, folly and things
to please the curious

Gold Democrats and Mckinley.

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Evening Post has interviewed
ex-Representative Bynum on the subject
o. the charge that Bourke Cochran received
pay for his support of Mckinley in 1896.
1t was stated at the time of the DalzeIl-
Cochran episode that the money reached
Mr.. Cochran through the Palmer and
Buckner committee. of which Mr.. Bynum
was chairman. Mr.. Bynum not only denies
this. but gives it as his opinion that Mr..
Cochran did not receive money from any
source for his services to the republicans
in the first Mckinley campaign.
:. Then we find this:
DO you think it good policy for Dalzell
TO try to prove that any of the democrats
who supported Mckinley In 1896 were
moved by mercenary motives?"
L do not. l have been surprised at the
EFFORT on the part of some of the republic
can leaders to make it appear that the in
nuentiai men who refused to follow the
leadership of Bryan in 1896, and did SPLEEN
old work for Mckinley, were purchased"
Isn't Mr.. Bynum In error here? Leaving
Mr.. Dalzell out-for he spoke in reply to
remark by Mr.. Cochran imputing corrup-
ton to him-no republican leader has mani
tested the spirit that Mr.. Bynum mentions
The charge of venality against democrats
'''A' 'Dteu Aoi 4hCfAiHley IN 1870 was OF
democratic origin. and was used exclusively
by the supporters of Mr.. Bryan The coun-
try rang with it at the time 1t was that
charge which in part accounted for the
dollar mark which the cartoonists stamped
all over Mr.. Hanna's clothes that year. He
was described as in the market buying right
and left. and paying fancy prices for apos-
tates.
1t was this fact which supplied the COM
edy feature of the recent scene In the
House. There stood the democratic mem
bers. nearly all of whom had supported Mr..
Bryan in 1886. patting Mr. Cochran on the
back and cheering him on while he repealed
charge which, though coming now from
the republican side, the Bryanjtes eight
years ago had shouted at all the men, Mr..
Cochran himself included who, because of
the Chicago platform, had crossed over for
that campaign from the democratic to the
republican side. 1t was intensely. not to
say riproariously. amusing. But those on
the floor on both sides We're too much
wrought up over the din of the oratorical
explosions to see the fun.
The republicans have never used the
charge. 1t was directed at some of the
most eminent and worthy men in the coun-
try. and fell of it's own weight and stupidity
in their cases.
