time come around to some form of
free trade.
The condition of the country is not
what it was when the tariff became a
leading issue; conditions have
changed even more decidedly in Eng
land. Even religions change with the
course of time, and the endeavor of
statesmen, as of priests, must be to
discover the line where essential
truth ends AID temporary eXpedient
begins.
At present the line is shifting, as it
has since the birth of time, and
about the only truth of which any
body can be absolutely sure in either
ethics or craftsmanship, is that we
have to work toward, and not away
from, the Golden Rule of justice.

The Mission Of the Kicker.

Forty-three passengers signed a pa
per protesting against the conduct of
a railroad which brought them into
New York al 1 in the morning, when
they should have arrived at II at
night, and this on an alleged express
train They had investigated the
matter and found that the alleged ex-
press train was made up of too many
cars, and made too many stops, and
was really turned into an accommo-
dation train.
It is not known whether this protest
did any good, but it was a step in the
right direction at any rate. We need
to develop a tendency toward organ
lied kicking, in this country. Indi-
vidual and disorganized kicks land
nowhere. But lot of people who are
all indignant and working together
can sometimes reach, not the con-
science OF a corporation, but its more
vulnerable point, the pocketDook.
The average American is in too
much Of a hurry TO protest, and when
he does, his objections are usually
hurled AT the conductor. or the brake
man, or some other servant OF the
company. who IS hot responsible
When the offense is the offense of the
employee, it is usually effective 10
write to tho company. but it does not
follow that when tie offense is the
company's it is useful to kick the
/ employee.
The newspapers have done some
thing to develop the needed tendency
by encouraging people 30 write 70 lie
papers about some specified griev-
ance and printing the letters. WheD
/ a newspaper gets letters enough 20 fl
/ a page, all relating TO one abuse, and
prints them, it sometimes results in
better behavior on the part Of the Of
Tending individual or corporation,
But petitions and letters to the COM
pany have their uses, too. Some
times it is ignorance rather than de-
liberate intention on the part of the
company which inconvenience the
public.

followed today with the claim that
the japanese have forced the Russians
back TO their last line of fortifca-
tiOns. Certainly, both reports cannot
be true, though if Japan has carried
by assault the Russian works up to
the last ditch, ono can well believe
that her losses have reached the
10000 figure.
Regarding the situation farther
north, news is more definite, and the
critical position of KurOpatkin makes
the present climax of the war drama
one of thrilling intensity. Forced
northward by the combined divisions
Of Generals OFu and Nodzu, the Rus
sian rear has abandoned Hai-Cheng
and moved 10 within a few miles of
Liao-Yang, which is in turn threat
ened by General Kuroki. Liao-Tang
is said to be thoroughly fortified, and
inasmuch as there has been nothing
heard of any movement farther north
by KarOpatkin, it is believed that
here he will make his final stand and
endeavor to stem the tide of the Jap
anese advance.
II such is the case, ii is impossible
to figure out anything in store for the
gallant Russian except defeat. His
army is outnum bered by the combined
Japanese forces nearly two to one,
while heretofore the japanese have
proved themselves in the field sU-
periOr man to man to the Russian,
This does not imply that the Orientals
are Drawer, only that they have more
initiative, dash, and resourcefulness.

MISS HORSTMANN
TO WE'D MR.. BOLT

A delightful surprise came from Lale-

the announcement of the engagement OF
Miss Louise Horstmann, a social ia
vorite OF Washington. 20 John Bolt. Of
Newport, r. l., and a member Of the
Metropolitan Club IN this city, where he

Miss HOrstmann went TO Italy early IN
the spring with her brother, Ferdinand
Oden Horstmann, and her sister. Miss
Ethel HOTsCmaan, and though Il was
known that similar tastes I'm art made
Miss Horstmann and MT Bolt the best
Of friends, the engagement comes as a
great surprise.
The HOrstmanns are general social
fayOrites here but have been particu-
larry favored by members Of the Diplo-

Fighting the TruS' 5.

The Democratic party is the hope
of the people against the trusts-at
least, so certain Democratic newspa-
pers, the policy of which is to fight
the trusts, declare. Besides the Dem
ocratic platform, in a plank inserted
for the purpose of maintaining har-
mony at any cost, and keeping VIII
liam Jennings Bryan from boiling,
asserts something of the same sort.
Thomas Taggart has announced his
appointments for the executive com
mittee of the Democratic National
Committee, and the position of treas
urer is assigned to George Foster
Peabody. This is the job that August
Belmont confidently counted upon Sc
curing as a reward for booming Judge
Parker for the nomination. But the
preteXt of busting" the trusts with
Belmont, the agent of the Roths-
childs. in full control, was too essen
/ TALLY humorous. Hence George Eos
/ ter Peabody.
And who, pray. is George Foster
| Peabody? In the first place he is
Judge Parker's personal choice for
/ treasurer. AS the practical head Of
the banking firm of Spencer Trask &
Co, he has made a great fortune, es-
timated at several millions. He was
also one Of the leaders of the gold
wing OF the Democracy, represented
by Palmer and Buckner in 1896.
In the second place, George Foster
! Peabody is director in the following
| corporations: Morton Trust Com
pany, Alvarez Land and Timber Com
pany, American Beet Sugar Company.
/ Campania Metallurgica MeMcana.
/ COnquisit Coal Company, General
/ Electric Company, Mexican Coal and
! Coke Company, Mexican National
Construction Company, Mexican
Northern Railway Company, Monte
yuma Lead Company, Potosi and Rio
Verde Railway Company, Southern
I Improvement Company.
Mr.. Peabody is to be congratulated
4 upon successful career, but the
claim that corporation interests will
receive a drubbing from a party Of
which Mr.. Peabody is a representative
member, is an absurdity on the face
Of it. AS a matter of fact, Wall
Street and all its purlieus are show
ing themselves far more generous this
year in contributions TO the Demo-
| cratic campaign fund than they are 10
the Republican; nor is there any ey-
idence Of opposition in Standard Oil
circles, for instance, TO the candidacy
OF the man from Esopus.
Does Wall Street pledge its money
because it fears that in the event of
the Democracy coming into power
there will be a general assault upon
those corporate interests known as
/ trusts? Or does Wall Street pledge
its money 10 the Democracy because
IL knows that President Roosevelt is
determined that the laws controlling
combinations shall be enforced?

FILES AN ANSWER TO

warn d Byrd AIIege They Have I'm
proved Property.

In the Superior Court yesterday
Messrs. Warn & Byrd filed their an
swer to the warrant to evict. filed
sometime ago by Fred Wilharm and
Nina Crawford.
They deny the claims of the plaintiff
to the effect that they have damaged
the property and make a counter aft
davit to the effect that they have
greatly improved the property in ques-
ton, and from which the plaintiffs seek
to eject them.
The property is that now occupied
by them in the town of Warsaw, 'front.'
ing on the Military road. They allege
that the lease under which they took
the property has never expired, and
they are still entitled to occupy it, Re-
plying to the complaint of the plain
tiffs they allege that not only have
they not damaged the property, but
have improved it by erecting several
buildings which have greatly enhanced
its value. They also claim to have
sunk "a splendid artesian WE'LL" which
has added greatly to the place.
With the counter affidavit they filed
a conditional bond.
