Russia's Protest.
Wilmington Messenger.


When Russia first protested that
Japan had violated the rules of war
in the manner in which she had begun
hostilities, we thought such protest
was made on the spur of tho moment
when she was laboring under the
shock and CONSERVATION of unex-
pected defeat. We did not think she
would persist in holding to such po-
sition; but she does 80 and still
maintains that Japan had no right
to attack her feet in the harbor OF
Port Arthur without giving warning
that peace relations had been brought
to an end.
Russia has taken a still more alb
surd position. She declares that
Japan has violated Korea's neutral
ity by landing troops and carrying
on warfare on the latter's territory.
She makes this protest while she is
assembling troops, as fast as the
Siberian railroad can transport them,
at Hardin, q strategic point in the
heart of the Chinese empire. China's
neutrality has been recognized and
agreed upon by both the beliggerents;
still Russia is using one of her prov
inces as a point for assembling her
armies. Not only that, but Russian
troops have overrun the entire prov
ince, and the inhabitants are treated
as Russian subjects, or rather as a
conquered people. She tells the peo-
pie of Manchuria that as China wishes
to be neutral they must assist the
Russian army. The people are to be
held responsible if the railway and
telegraph lines are interfered with.
She warns the people that il they
show hatred toward the Russian
troops they will be exterminated
| without mercy.
This is the treatment the people Ol
a province of a friendly power and
one whose neutrality has been guar.
anteed are receiving. From her
headquarters in the center OF this
province, which she gave her solemn
! pledge to evacuate months ago, she
| sends out to the other powers pro-
test against Japan landing troops In
the kingdom of Korea over which the
| former has a DrOtectOrate.

Public Executions Wrong in Moral
Effect.
Raleigh Times.

Raleigh Times.
1t is not pleasant to read the sharp
criticisms Gf papers in other States
which levy against North Carolina
for permitting a public execution.
Columbus county will hardly do this
again. The moral effect of thing
of this sort is greatly to be deplored.
And we want to call attention to the
fact that our lawmakers have seen
the evil OF this practice and have SO
recorded their decision. We find the
following language in The Code:
The ends of justice, public morals and
the preservation OF order demand that
the execution of all capital offenders
should be made private and invested
with the solemnity appropriate to the
final act of penal law
The mistake was in allowing the
County Commissioners to use disere-
ton in this matter. However, we are
GLAD to say that in almost every in
stance the Commissioners have or
dered the executions to be private.

Likes to Think About Dying.
I. E. Avery in Charlotte Observer.

The man who looks evenly on death
Is always interesting. Viewed in such
light, Rev. Dr. J. D. Hufham, the we'll
known Baptist divine, is at his best.
He likes to think about dying, likes
to- talk about it, and is very glad. in
deed, because he is bound to die. This
is really his happiest thought, and
his face becomes illuminated when
ever he expresses his eloquent ideas
on the subject. 1t is a sane matter
with him. Other men, fashioning de-
lightful day dreams, see pulsing hu-
manity. DR.. Hufham is happiest
when he thinks pf what will happen
to him after he becomes dust.

On south Jersey farm, which was
the home of a thousand pigeons and
which was conducted by woman
who had formerly been bookkeeper
in Philadelphia. was found one par
ticular fly and coop which was the
abiding place of young doves that had
reached the mating season, says the
Era Magazine. These young birds
were associated together so that they
might select their life companions.
The interior of the walls of the coop
was filled with boxes and those
pigeons which had mated would
select one of these boxes for their
home and nest.
This period of courtship is one filled
with excitement for the birds. Two
young pigeon cocks, having selected
the same hen for mate. have been
known to fight to the death in their
rivalry. The method of combat is
peculiar The beak and wings alone
are used, the combatants catching
each other with their beaks by the
skin of the head and beating each
other with their strong wings.

dove, with an occasional exception,

are a pest among the pigeons, too,

Frequently. however. the most dar'

them. The sight of funerals and cof-

handled comes to be matter of no
