Japanese vaIor and wastefuIness of
 Life.

When all the details of the battle of
 Nanshan hill at Finchow are in it will
 he found, doubtless. that the Japanese
 victory was gained at frightful cost
 For the first time since modern quick
 firing guns have become a leading fac
 tor in war. the ability of troops to
 charge these instruments of death is
 being thoroughly tested. Military ex-
 Derts have argued that the quick firing
 and machine guns would revolutionize | tactics on the battlefields and the ex- perience of English and Dutch troops in fighting savage tribes has war ranted the contention. Whenever un- civilized soldiers in their ignorance have charged intrenchments protected by modern artillery they have been moved down like grain before the sickle
 The Japanese commanders seem ready to ignore the new conditions, and they exhibit at all times a readiness to indulge in profligate sacrifice of the lives of their men in order to beat the Russians. No other conclusion can be arrived at after reading the reports of the battles already fought. The charges against the Russian intrench- Inents on Thursday undoubtedly re- suited in a SbocL-iper Ioec Of Iifa in tba Japanese ranks. This much is clear from the guarded admissions contained in the official report from Tokio, printed this morning. The charging JaDanese troops were cut down Tn mass by the Russian machine guns. and it is likely that the first regiments thrown against the Russian trenches were entirely annihiIated. It was only by sending in fresh troops again and again that the Russians were driven from their breastworks.
 Such feat as this would have been nothing unusual in our civil war, but 1t should be remembered that a charge could be made against breastworks in those days with at least some hope that the assaulting columns would not be altogether destroyed. But at best is meant pouring out human blood like water. The students of military tao lies have figured that under present conditions disciplined troops armed with machine guas could be driven from properly constructed trenches only by lanking movements and by artillery. Japan seems contented to go at the business in the old way, regard less of the cost.
 The victories so far won establish the fact that Japanese va!cr cannot be sur passed by any soldiers in the world l but it remains to be seen whether the Japanese commanders are making war with the proper caution. There is a limit to JaDans resources in men; there | is practically no limit to Russia's sup | ply of flesh and blood wherewith 10 | stop Japanese bullets.

 few weeks ago. Immediately after the presidents visit to Rome, private note to the Catholic powers was issued from the vatican. bitterly complaining that President Loubet. the official head nf Catholic country, had seen fit to sffront the holy see by visiting a king who had usurped the pope's temporal dominions. How a copy of this note fell into the hands of the newspapers is yet a mystery; possibly it was not without the conniYance of the vatican officials. At any rate. the French gov ernment promptly recalled its ambas- sador from the vatican when the au- thencity of the note was established. the same time forecastins the ending of the concordat, the French govern ment no doubt has taken full measure of the probability that its action will greatly strengthen the position of the monarchists. For. no matter how carefully neutral the holy father may be. it is certain that large numbers of Catholics. heretofore friendly to the re- public, will now be led to look with greater favor on the Bourbons or the Bonapartists.
 To end the concordat will return France to the position in which she was placed by the revolution. The so- cialistic government which followed ni nf ,11 a1, tions with the church. and abolished all the church's revenues. Napoleon, as first consul. saw that the support of the church was necessary if he would establish a permanent govern ment Accordingly in 1901 he arranged with Pope Plus VII, the celebrated "eoncOrdat," whereby the church was re-established. One of the principal l provisions was the payment of the clergy from the national revenues. l Napoleon was moved by notions of policy. to be sure. He cared as much | tor one religion as another, and his reverence for the successor of St. Pc ter was best demonstrated when he | AulpIISOleu lHe very pope WllH whom | he had established the concordat. But | the great emperor was careful always | not to attempt to change or affront the religion of any people, and he recog- nized to the fullest the important func- uon which the clergy could and did | play in French politics. He might, for strategic reasons, seize the papaI states | beyond the Alps, snd might hold the pope himself a prisoner, but always it | was with protests of his veneration for the holy father and assurances of his | own profound reverence for the state | religion.

Business Conditions in Presidential
 Years.

l fearS.
 1 That confidence in the future is one | of the chief foundations of the coun- | try's prosperity, and that, conversely.
 uncertainty is one Of the most disturb | ing factors, is clearly set forth in an ar
 ticle in the Worlds Work on business conditions in presidential years.
 There was an excess of gold exports | over gold imports in 1860, 1864, 1868. 1872, 1876. 1884, 1892, 1896 and 1900: in
 other words, in every year of a pres
 idential election, but two, since the be-
 ginning of the civil war. Since 1896
 there has been only one year in which
 more gold left the country than came
 into it and that was the year of the
 last presidential election. In three
 election years since 1860 there was a
 falling off in the circulation of money.
 Three other elections were followed
 by decrease in circulation the next
 year. The other elections do not ap-
 pear to have had any special effect i'll
 this particular. In 1876, 1884 and 1896
 there was a noticeable decline in loans an ddiscounts of the national banks. Bank earnings in New York, which are good barometer of the activity of speculation as well as of trade, declin- ed Tn 1S6s 1876, 1884. 1858 and 1900 They increased in 1872 and 1880, and there was very slight gain in 1892. Bank clearings in the United States declined in 1888 and 1900, and the gains in 1892 and 1896 were. so small as not to indi- cate a normal growth. Customs re- ceipts decreased. in four presidential elections since 1S6S Merchandise ex- ports per capita declined in four sucl1 years. There was a notable increase in 1892, a year which President TIairi- son described as having reached the high-water mark of American pros perity, though it's records have since been exceeded. Tn 1896 the per capita exports were $12.29, against s11.51 in 1895, but expanded to s14.42 the year safter the election. Pig iron production declined in 1876, 1884 and 1896. and prac- tically stood still in 1888 and 1906.
 All this indicates a decided disturb ance of business in presidential years. | The magnitude of the disturbance de- bends, of course, upon the measure of ] uncertainty which attends the result | of the presidential election. Tn 1900 | the reelection of Mckinley was deem- | ed so nearly certain that but little fear | of the radical and reactionary forces | of the country was entertained. Conse- quently, there was merely a slowing down of the busy wheels of trade. This year another republican victory is regarded as so certain that there is little probability of serious disturb ances in the business world,

Russian TruthfuIness.

One of the surprising developments of the war is the frankness of the Russian officials in admitting their losses. There seems to be no desire to conceal the facts, no matter how bad the showing for Russia. The first dis aster to the Russian ships in Port Ar thur harbor. the destruction of the Variag and Korietz in Chemulpo bay, the defeat in the battle of the Yalu, the destruction of the PetropavIovsk. the defeat in the battle of Kinchow and all the minor disasters to Russian arms have been readily admitted. The news from the seat of war is sent to the czar at St. Petersburg, and is usu- ally telegraphed immediately to all parts of the world. Seldom has a piece of news been held back at St. Peters burg longer than a few hours. The promptness and fidelity with which the officers of the Russian army and navy report occurrences at the front offsets to a great extent the scarcity of dispatches from newspaper core spondents on the ground. Gen. Kuro- patl1in makes a daily report to the czar, and The Republicans readers know the contents of these reports al most as soon as does the czar himself.
 This. of course, is a sensible policy. Except as to the strategic movement of the Russian forces there is no req son why the facts should be concealed. If the Russian soldiers are defeated in battle, the defeat cannot be changed into victory by suppression Of the news.
 Such frankness in dealing with the events of the war is in direct contrast to the tactics generally followed in Russian diplomacy. It is the blunt truth to say that Russia's position be- fcre the world would have been much stronger if her diplomats had been as and truthful as are the czar and his soldiers. Throughout the long negotiations covering the Manchurian question, Russia followed a winding path of subterfuge. evasion
 
 and deceit. Little that she said was believed. Her words went at such a discount everywhere that the worth lessness of her mere promises was gen. erally recognized. Japan's disgust was constantly increased, in consequence. The war could have been averted, un- doubtedly, had Japan been able to be- lieve that 1t was worth while to attach any importance to Russian pledges. The mikado's representatives could not have been more coldly insulting than when they calmly stated to the Russian foreign office. a few-1ays be- fore the war was begun, that Russian promises were no longer of any value and Japan would insist upon a formal treaty embodying every promise of inn portance.
 Perhaps the remarkable difference between Russia in peace and Russia in war is due to recognition of changed acceptance of the fact that only the man who habitually tells | the truth can succeed. But more like l

MAN OF SCIENCE DID NOT BITE.

Miss Daisy Letter has brought back from London a story about Charles Darwin.
 Two English boys" said Miss Letter "being friends of Darwin, thought one day that they would play a joke on him. They caught a butterfly, grass hopper. a beetle and a centipede. and out of these creatures they made strange, composite insect. They took the centipede's body. the butterf1y's wings. the grasshopper's legs and the beetles head and they glued them to- gether carefully Then. with their new bug in box, they knocked at Darwin's dOO~

 Darwin looked at the bug and then he looked at the boys. He smiled slightly.
 Did it hum when you caught he asked.
 Yes they answered, nudging one another.
