CHANCE JusTIFlEp.

Some Of the newspaper partisans OF

the retirement OF these officials in
favor Of someone else. Haven't they
done their duty Why should they
step down nows win the public serv-

ask.
All Of which is amusing. Every
body recognizes that these collector
ships-the richest pickings in Yer
mont and among the richest in the
service-are political plums bestowed
on men OF personal worth. who have
performed special service for the
party. So Ear as the duties are con.
cerued. they have been well dis
charged by the present incumbents.

injury 70 the service in case any Of the
new aspirsnts Tor the places should BE-
selected. Il Is well understood that
The requirements are mainly Of a
routine character. The collector can

He sits in his office and superintends
the admission of such goods as nat
urally come TO his port of entry. He
sees that the laws and regulations re-
qarding such entry are faithfully adj
ministered. And that's about all,
aside from the onerous duty OF draw
ing his very munificent salary.
The special plea for Messrs. Mer-
rill and Mansur that they should be
retained because they are "experi-
enced" is hollow bluff. They were
named in the first place because, being
perfectly capable. nobody had quite
so good a claim as they to the fat
pickings that were bound to 90 to
someone They have held these
places eight years. Each of them has
drawn at least 100000 during his
term. What more should he expect
Isn't that recognition" a-plenty?
Hasn't the account been about
squared? Has no one else ever done
anything that merits like reward ?
Each Of the present collectors has been
made wealthy through his emolu-
ments. Why not give someone else a
chance, now that these men have been
generously rewarded?
We have heretofore said-and will
repeat-that these collectOrships are
in a class by themselves that on ac-
count of the unusual salaries attached
and the commonplace nature of the
duties, the rule that might apply to
other federal offices in regard to the |
of present incumbents should |
not apply to these places. No ade-
luate reason can be given why |
Messrs. Merrill and Mansur, capable
men that they are, who deserved well
1t the hands of their party, should not
now, amply rewarded by that party,
make way for other men perhaps as
capable and deserving.

make every exertion to render tht
voyage OF the Russian relieving fleet
Ruthless. First, the siege of Port Ar
thur will be pressed unrelentlngly
Whatever the cost in lives, it will b'
captured before Rojestyensky arrives
| il capture is possible. Nor will the
alert and efficient japanese navy yield
on the approach OF the foe without
risking such battle as the ocean has
never yet seen. Despite its numerous
engagements and the bombardments
it has delivered, the Japanese fleet is
still in excellent fighting trim. The
ships are nearly all modern, well ar
mored and supplied with the most APP
proved ornaments. A years actlv-
ity in actual warfare must have Civ
en- the commanders and crews an ex-
perience that makes them vastly sup' =
rior 10 such a comparatively green
personnel as that of the Russian fleet.
With ample dockage facilities and sup
ply depots, it cannot be doubted that
ship for ship Togo will be in far better
condition for the test than Roiestyen-
sky, alter his long voyage.
II the relieving fleet could succeed
in uniting the somewhat battered
squadrons at Vladivostok and Port
Arthur with its own force before the
hour of decisive conflict, it would ac-
complish a great stroke. for then the
japanese would be overpowered by
mere weight, but this Admiral Togo
seems in position to prevent. By
forcing the issue with Rojestvensky
and meeting him before he can thus
himself, the japanese COM
mander will do what is expected of
him. Indeed. it is not unlikely that
the enterprising japanese may des-
patch a squadron of fast cruisers and
torpedo boats TO harass and cut OF the
ships of the foe and keep in
touch with him so that, when sufi-
GENTLY weakened, he may be struck I
.he destroying blow at the proper mo-
nent. The approach of the Russian |
vessels in three scattered detachments |
seems to offer an opportunity that the
Japanese may use to their advantage.
The Russians cannot suffer serious
osses by delay by storm, by accident
" by battle on the voyage and hope TO
meet Togo on even terms.
Contrasting the two arms as hey
lave already been displayed, and tax
ng into consideration all the various
liable to occur, the prospect
ppears that the japanese will reduce
'ort Arthur before Roiestvensky ar
ives on the scene, and that whether
his transpires or not the japanese
ayy, though somewhat inferior in rat
lg to the relieving fleet, will be able
, dispose OF it and maintain the sea

ends. /

WAR PROSPECTS.

Can Port Arthur hold out until th,
relieving Russian feet arrives AnC
can that fleet fight its way through
Togo's concentrated squadrons to PorI
/ Arthur?
A most interesting phase of the
Eastern war is at hand. If Port Ar.
thur can stave off the besieging Japa.
nese, and Roiestvensky's formidable
ships can raise the japanese naval
blockade, a new stage OF the titanic
struggle will have been reached.
IL will be seen that here are two
premises. Should Port Arthur be cap
tured by the japanese prior to the ar
rival of the Russian Iceland no eff
fort will be spared to accomplish that
end-the mission of the fleet will have
been largely in vain. Port Ar
thur is the only open harbor the Rus
slams possess in the Pacific. Vladivos-
tok, far to the northward, is frozen in
winter. The Russian fleet must make
Port Arthur, il it arrives before next
spring, or it Is doomed The ships
will need rehtting and repairs after
their long yoyage-especially il they
meet the Japanese in battle on the
way, even if they triumph. Should
Port Arthur fall, the fleet would be in
dire straits, and its chance of over
coming the concentrated navy of
Japan would be small. On the other
hand the sutferings and sacrifices of
Stoessels brave garrison will have
been in vain If the Russian fleet suffers
defeat and is unable to reach Port Ar
thur finally. Immediate surrender at
discretion would then be the only al |
ternatiye, and Russian hopes of SUI
premacy on the Pacific would fade for !
ever, as the car has no further naval |
reserves to send to the East. The |
problem Of the Japanese then would |
be simply to maintain in northern l
Manchuria an army sufficient to de- !
iend the frontier from Russian inva- 1
sion. While Japan would have quick |
and easy transportation, convenient
depots and rich supporting country |
in Manchuria itself. Russia would face
the problem Of sustaining an immense
force thousands of miles from its pri-
mary base, with only a single thread
