The Crum Case.
President Roosevelt'S Attitude Widely
Misunderstood.

GIeSlCenl ROOSeFelIS AIIlIuQe Wldely
Misunderstood.
It behooves people who really want
to know the truth about a matter, and
not what is taken by careless popular
sentiment to be the truth, to under
stand the true attitude of President
Roosevelt on the Crum case. 1t has
been widely reported that the Presi-
dent meant to force" the Senate to
confirm Crum, a thing which he
could not have done, in the first
place, and would rot have been like
~ to do, if he could What he did
wish to do was to make the Senate
vote on it, for or against, and even
this point he finally conceded.
The fact is that the Crum case is
about as sore a point as a stubbed
toe, and the Senate has been quite as
cautious and gingerly about handling
it as the average boy is about going
on an errand when he can plead that
excuse. 1t is not that many of them
care so very much about Crum, or
that many of them are possessed of
so violent a dislike to him, but they
would like just TO let him alone. To
several Senators from the south OF
Mason and Dixon's line he is a con-
venient peg on which to hang dia-
tribes about reconstruction, and negro
Oficeholders, and consideration fol-
rest of it. OF what use is it to oppose
To such arguments the perfectly true
statement that President Mckinley
and several of his predecessors ap-
pointed negroes to Office in c;rcum-
stances similar to Crum's, and some
times appointed applicants to whom
other objections besides that Of color
might be urged? None whatever
Crum is a political peg, that is all.
Other Senators, coming from
States in which different ideas pre-
vail, privately do not care whether
Crum, or forty Crums, be confirmed
or rejected. but if they vote for re-
lection their old-fashioned abolition
constituents will be shocked, and II
they vote for confirmation the North
ern anti-negro element will make
trouble, and they will be made the
object of sarcastic remarks by tbs
Southern Senators. It would be 50
much easier to let the matter alone
that they are perfectly willing to dc
scat least until after election. AND
that is the inner meaning of the TODD
over the Crum case. President
Roosevelt, who is in favor of letting
people know what you think, anC
why you think it, did not appreciate
the Importance of the policy o.
shilly-shally. Perhaps he does now
at any rate, the Crum case will. no
be brought up again until after cleo

The Battle of the YaIu.
Result of Five Days Fighting on the
Manchurian Frontier.


The struggle along the Yalu has
ended in japanese victory, the Rus
sian army being driven from a for
titled position by a Japanese force
superior. but not overwhelmingly so,
in numbers, and apparently very
much superior in artillery. This is
considered by English military au-
thorities an epoch-malling event in
Russian history. being the greatest
reverse since Plevna. Russian au-
thorities offer their old plea of being
'unprepared."

our own great war. Confederate VIC
tories We're won by dash, daring,
singleness Of purpose on the part Of

feats were very largely due to a con-
dition Of ''unpreparedness" and IN
wieldly lack of discipline in the
Union army analogous 10 that which
prevails in the Russian army today

large, to be ''unprepared" when il en-
counters an enemy prepared, and even
eager, TO fight. The result is certain

tervention Of Providence saves the
blunderer. and Providence seems to
pay very little attention TO such
tasks. That was probably what Ma
poleon meant when he made the cyni-
cal remark about God being on the
side Of the heaviest battalions.
The effect Of this repulse upon Rus
sian prestige, already badly damaged
by disasters at sea, is not likely 10 be
very good, but Russia is apparently
past caring for that The confidence

be wrapped would be sublime If It

President Roosevelt is said TO have
urged upon the politicians of his
party the advisability of having a
platform which means what it says,
is concise, forcible. and plain-spoken.
II such a platform is constructed it
will be something rather new in the
history of politics. Hitherto the aim
of platform-makers has apparently
been to formulate a set of statements
which can be made to mean anything
or nothing. and, like the fairy tent in
the Arabian Nights, will cover an
army of ten thousand men or lie in
the palm Of one hand.

magnificent line still remains to be sold.

The Kaiser's New Idea.
he Thinks Boys Should Be Taught
Modern Languages.

Emperor William has been making
another speech, not on international
subjects this time His words will
not move his brother sovereigns TO
uneasiness, but they may cause the
boys of his domain IN feel something
worse than that He advocates the
instruction of schoolboys in modern
languages rather than Greek and
natin, and recommends as useful
modern ongues-Russian, japanese,
and Chinese.
1t may be that as nothing was hard
70 the Romans because they had al
ready learned their own language,
nothing in the way Of linguistic at
tainments will be hard for the Ger
man schoolboy, having been accus-
toned from infancy to the sesquipe-
dalian Teutonic sentence. But II does
seem as if Russian, Japanese, and
Chinese were a trio likely to stagger
almost anybody.
Russian alone is popularity believed
TO be made up of consonants with
just enough novels to be ornamental,
the vowels occupying about the same
relation TO the consonants that the
molasses does to the popcorn in a
popcorn ball. If you could mix Japa-
nese and Russian it might make a
speakable language, the liquid Japa-
nese syllables counteracting the sput-
tering Russian fireworks; or, again,
you might get no language at all,
fireworks and liquids being mutually
destructive.
And then consider Chinese, with
its innumerable characters and infiec-
tons and accents! 1t takes a native
Chinese boy several years to write
il, and he has exceptional advantages.
Imagine Chinese instructors in
queues and silks gravely initiating
Teutonic urchins into the mysteries
of Confucius after the manner in
vogue in the Celestial kingdom. And
imagine the nice comfortable time the
head Of the school would have keep
mig peace between the professor Of
