Official expression of the sentiment that has

feeling was clearly defined at the Repub-

a man named Bezobarzoff is now accused
by Russia of being responsible for all this
trouble with Japan. He betrayed the con-
fidence of the Car, ii is said. and schemed
to exploit the wealth of Manchuria for his
own ends. In fact he seems to be the Cecil
Rhodes of the Orient. and since Russia
is already angry enough TO sacrifice some
body, this man with a fearful name will
probably suffer.

The board of lady managers" of the ST.

have made the mistake, but there it is
a difference of $4,000 between their figures
and those of the exposition company. Now
they will have to sit down and figure it
all over again-isn't ii annoying? The ex-
position company is just perfectly horrid,
anyhow; they might be polite and make
their figures agree with the boards if they
weren't too mean for words.

they have always felt a foolish, grouud-
less prejudice and apprehension lest this
country intended eventually to absorb all

there was many years ago. The case Is

From the New York Herald.

From the New York Herald
r The most interesting naval news from
the seat of war is the Russian effort to take
the initiative. The one incomprehensible
aspect of the conflict has been the inertness
of the Port Arthur feet, for while the I'M
expected raid of the Japanese destroyers
may have stunned it's chiefs for moment,
no excuse has existed for the continued SUI
pinenesS that characterized until the ar
rival Of Makaroff their subsequent misuse
of sea power. Looked at technically this
inertia has perhaps afforded a slight tao
teal advantage, as it still remained some
what demoraliZed fleet in being" but its
tangible value cannot be compared even
with that of the Vladivostok squadron.
That at least. has kept the active Japa-
nese guessing and has interfered with the
surety of their oversee transport The
Russian officers are highly trained and
courageous. and they know that passive
defense is sure to be fatal, both from the
rust that disuse creates in material and
from the sappine that continued misdirec-
tion instills in the personnel. Ships are not
rats, expected to fight only when cornered
but activities that find their highest useful
ness in challenges to combats under condi-
lions that promise the best chances of sue
cess. To sit tight under the sheltering
arms of shore guns is for war vessels the
last resort of desperation, and the existing
disparity of force has never been great
enough, with the necessary dispersions of
the Japanese squadron, to justify such tao
tics.

The Mississippi legislature invited Will
lam Randolph Hearst to visit Jackson and
deliver an address. In some quarters the
invitation was construed as a contribution
to the Hearst presidential boom, and was
rather severely criticised. Mr.. Hearst did
not go to Jackson, but writ letter, y
which was read to the legislature and
spread upon it's minutes The production
is poorly expressed, but is conceived upon
shrewd political lines. 1t is another evidence
Of the fact that the New York editor and
his advisers are playing their game with
skill:
Clannishness, which is an admirable quail
ity, is particularly strong in the south. The
man with southern blood in his veins has
but to make that fact known becomingly to
insure attention in the cotton country for
any statement he may wish to make pub
licly. Knowing this, and playing upon the
spirit Mr.. Hearst informs his Mississippi
friends that both his father and mother
were born in the south. and by reason of
that fact he Is well entitled to the admira-
ton he feels for the southern people, to the
happiness he feels when they are happy,
and to the interest with which he follows
their wel-being and prosperity. Point
number one, and we'll taken.
Point number two is like unto it. On the
race question Mr. Hearst takes the ground
that the south should be left to settle that
to suit herself She alone understands it,
and is competent to deal with it. He de-
plores the fact that men living in the north
who know nothing about the matter should
persist in discussing 1T. Why should re-
publican politicians seeking votes NEEDLE
with a topic full of such danger? This is
put without the slightest fear of the coun-
ter question. as to why democratic poll
ticianS living In the north should NEEDLE

cerned, you may do with negro suffrage
and the fourteenth and fifteenth amend
ments to the federal Constitution as you
please
There is nothing original about this pro-
gram. this bid. 1t Is the bid of all Mr.
Hearsts competitors for the ST. Louis nomi-
nation. Mr.. Cleveland has twice carried
the south with 1t, and is making the bid
again. Judge Parker Mr.. German. Mr.

The Merger Decision.

1t is impossible thus early to estimate
the full effect of the ant-merger decision
of the Supreme Court, in its relation to
the existing corporations. The precise
terms of the decision itself must be scruti-
nized in detail to permit a safe indIca-
ton of its scope and bearing That it will
have marked effect eventually upon Ger
tain railroad combinations and cross-own-
ershps. however, cannot be doubted.
The special point of today's news is that
this decision although cast by the margin
of only one vote, greatly strengthens the
hands of the government in it's efforts to
curb the trusts 1t gives the already sus-
tanned Sherman antitrust law a new and
specific bearing. 1t defines certain lirnta-
tons beyond which the railroads cannot
go in effecting their community of inter-
ests' measures of consolidation 1t gives
the administration of the law, in short,
a great advantage over the previous con-
ditions which cannot fail as long as that
administration is intrusted to reasonably
aggressive officials. to keep the great trusts
in check and to hasten the day of unob-
jectionable trade coalitions based upon
sound economic principles.
The court divides rather remarkably in
view of the alignment of the justices in
1896 on the Trans Missouri Freight Asso-
citation case, in which a majority of the
court declared that combination to be I'M
lawful. The opinion in that case was writ
ten by Justice Peckham and was con-
CURED in by Chief Justice Fuller and JUS
tees Harlan, Brewer and Brown. Today
Chief Justice Fuller and Justice Peckha m
voted to declare the Northern merger a
lawful combination. OF the dissenting jus
tees in 1896 only Justice White now sits
on the bench and he voted again today in
the negative. All the successors of his
associates in that dissent today voted to
sustain the governments contentious.

The Smoot Case.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

Whatever conclusion the Senate may
reach with respect to Shoots eligibility to
membership in that body, it has been clear
ly established that the Mormon hierarchy
has pursued and permitted polygamous
practices after promising to abandon them.
The investigation has not ended, and It is
announced that a mass of evidence is to be
produced to show that plural marriages
have taken place since the issuance Of the
Mormon manifesto of 1900 prohibiting them
The faithlessness of the hierarchy has also
been shown by it's violations of its pledge
that if Utah were admitted into the Union
it would withdraw from political activity.
In pursuance of these pledges and promises
Utah was admitted. but immediately after
Utah became state Mormon political ac-
tiyity was conspicuously in evidence in the
shaping of bills passed by the legislature.
Measures which received the disapproyal of
the legislative committee of Mormon elders
were doomed
