women and children, at kishlnef1,
caused him to be regarded with abhor-
renee by the whole world. Even more
frightful has been his connection with
tho destruction of the liberties of Fin
land. In my mind, that is the most
wicked thing in the history of the last
into it here, further than to say it has
turned the best, the most civilized, the
most educated and most loyal province
in the empire into a land in which the
opposite of all these characteristics is
more highly developed than in any 9TH
er part Of the empire. Other things
done by him were also calculated to
bring most bitter hatred against him.
He attempted to help his cause by
a defense of his conduct toward Fin
land which was published in an Am
erican magazine, but it certainly must
have failed to convince any thinking
man at all aware of the circumstances.
During two summers 1 lived mainly
in Finland, coming frequently to ST..
Petersburg, and the transition in pass
ing from the cultivation and civiliza-
ton of Finland to the atmosphere of
Russia was the most depressing I have
ever known.
Il do not wonder at his assassina-
ton, although 1 deeply lament it..
Among other reasons for this regret it
will doubtless be made a preteXt for
new oppression and new cruelties to-
ward the Jewish population and toward
the F'inlanders. Assassination always
defeats it's purpose, and this will be,
l fear, no exception to the rule
Mr.. White concluded by saying that
having lived twice in Russia, he OBJ
served closely the conditions Of the en-
pire and that, though he saw the most
wretched condition of things during the
Crimean war, the situation at present
is the most desperately bad in Russian
history and that it has been brought
on by an exercise of despotism more
unreasonable, cruel and short sighted
than anything in recent human history
outside of the Turkish empire.

HE WAS INUNDATED.

A New York city man is an appli-
cant for divorce, states that once his
wife kicked him so hard that he never
quite recovered from the effects and
also that she Inundated him in a thea
ter. On the latter point was this tes-
timony:
Did you take your wife to the the
ater?"
Many times"
What happened at the theater?'
We'll, one night, while we were in
the audience in a Harlem music hall,
one of the women performers asked:
is there any lady here who has never
been kissed?"
What happened?'
MY wife stood. up
1t is not to be presumed for a
minute that the plaintiff would have
sought the divorce court simply be-
cause his wife playfully kicked him SO
hard that he has not yet recovered
from the effects, for the natural ques-
ton would have been asked him why
he did not kick back. There is no evil
dence to show that he has but one leg.
He was probably perfectly able to use
his pedal extremeties in admins
tering to his wife some of her own
medicine But what could he do in re-
turn for her action in the theater?
There he was hopeless, crushed and
done for.
1t is to be presumed that when she
stood up in response to the question of
the lady performer every other lady in
the audience gazed on him with con-
tempt, ana that the gentlemen laughed
1t is probable that he was Inundated
1t showed him up as a laggard in love
and a bastard in domestic war. He
must have been sadly martified, to say
the least Plainly, though the divorce
court is fast coming under religious
disfavor, here is a case which all the
moralities must admit to be one for le-
gal severance.

COTTERILL.s MISTAKEN COURSE.

George Cotterill, of Seattle, who was
one of the democratic nominees for
congress two years ago, has announced
that if the democratic state convention
to be held in Bellingham next week
Endorses the national ticket and nOml-
mates George Turner for governor, he
(CatteriID will organize third party
and nominate an independent state
ticket. Cotterill has earned the repu-
tation of being an honest, sincere man
and no one now questions the purity
of his motives. but he is certainly MAX
ing the mistake of his life. If he We're
in the hire of the railroad lobby he
could not more effectually aid its cause
for every vote he takes away from
Turner will be vote to perpetuate
corporation rule in this state.
While many Bryan democrats of the
state, like Cotterill, did not approve
Turner's espousal of the candidacy of
Parker, they cannot deny that Turner
has been as true as steel in his conten-
ton for proper regulation of railroads
and other corporations from the time
of his valiant fight for the people in
the constitutional convention of 1889
to the present day. Events have GER
tainly proven that Turner's judgment
was sound as to the outcome of the st.
Louis convention and nothing he could
have done would have changed the re-
suit. 1t was the part of wisdom, then,
for him to accept the inevitable and
to endeavOr to place his party in this
state in accord with the new national
leadership. Certainly there can be no
fault found with the national demo-
cratic platform by any true democrat,
and there is no good reason for believ-
ing that Judge Parker if elected will
not be true to the principles and poll
cies declared by his party.
If George Cotterill does not wish to
commit political suicide, he will aban-
don his Ill-considered plan of placing
an independent ticket in the field and
content himself with the parties al
ready III existence. If he cannot sup
port the democratic state ticket, he
might easily make himself at nome in
the ranks of the prohibition party with
whose essential principles he is said
to be in full accord.

are about $50 per head; those of the
Netherlands, drawn from an immense
East Indian empire, about $3.50 per
head; while those of Japan are only
SO per head, about one-fiftieth the
imports of Holland.
Japan is very densely populated
Nearly 4O,OOO,OO of her population are
settled at from 400 to AIS to the square
mile, nearly 100000 approaching the
latter figure in density. This popu
lation is largely agricultural, the aver
age farm being about two acres in
extent, and having rather the character
Of a garden titled wholly by hand labor
than of a farm in our sense. This pre-
valence of hand labor accounts for the
extreme difficulty in finding horses for
the Japanese cavalry; the country peO-
pie have no horses, because they are
too poor to own them and have no
room on their diminutive farms to use
them. Another comparison: Japan mas
only eight towns of a hundred thou
sand inhabitants and over, as against
thirty-three for Germany, with about
the same total population. Only two Of
these towns, Toxic and Osaka, have
over 10000 Oinhabitants."

WAR EXPENSES.

Not only is war all that Sherman
said of it, but it is costly. At this stage
there is no estimate of the estimate of
the expenses which Russia and Japan
must bear before hOstilites are ended.
Both countries are heavily in debt,
Russia, with the exception of France,
leading the nations of the world in its
national debt.
The civil war cost the north $4,000
100000 and the south $1,000,0 100000,
not counting the destruction of prop
erty The Spanish-American war cost
the United tSates more than $350,0O0,-
O00 1t cost Great Britain $1,200,000,-
600 to defeat the Beers in South Afri-
ca When the cost of two such second
rate contests as the Spanisn-Ameri-
can and South African wars amounts to
such gigantic sums, one can form some
conception of what the expenses will
be for Russia and Japan in the present
struggle. ....
1t matters not which side is victo
rious in the far east, victory will be
dearly won. Necessarily it will re-
quire many years for either country to
recover from its effects. The Russian
national debt is about $4,000, 100000 and
that of Japan about s300OOO,00 In
Japan the people are already heavily
taxed and are poor. 1t is small wonder
that ministers of finance of both coun
tries are much concerned over the flu
ture finance of their respective coun
tries. The war has not yet fully be-
gun and there is no reckoning its dura
ton. Every day adds millions of dol
lars to the expenses.
Facing necessarily gigantic cost, it is
no small wonder that governments
hesitate to resort to arms TO say
nothing of the certainty of a fearful
loss of life and decentralization of in
dustry.
Harper'S Weekly says:
We must recognize, at the outset.
that Japan is a poor country, like
nearly all Oriental lands. though not
quite so poor as BritishIndia With a
population equal to that of Germany,
Japan has less than a fourth of Ger
many's revenue: or, to take ner ally,
England as the basis of comparison,
Japan. with population half as great
again as England. has less than a fifth
Of the revenues of England. We may
make the view even clearer in this
! way: The revenue of France is about
| $50 per head: that of Japan is about
| So per head. The imports of England
