THE WAR IN THE ORIENT

1t is reported that when it became
evident that the Rurik would be cap.
tured by the Japanese the Russians
opened port-holes and helped sink her.
Japan submits an ultimatum to China
to turn deaf ear to Russia, and refuse
asylum to her ships as well as to recog-
nize her (Japan) as the dominant power.
Russia, despite her long train of re-
verses, seems less inclined than ever for
mediation. There appears to be an i'm
mutable conviction in Russian quarters
that in the end their cause will be vic
torious.
The encounters between Japanese and
Russian forces are becoming more san
culinary, and the loss is heavy on both
sides. The Russians, it is claimed, adj
init that Port Arthur must inevitably
fall. The naval engagement between
the five Russian battleships which made
sortie out of the harbor, under Adj
miral Withoeft, and the Japanese squad
ron, was fierce and decisive. Admiral
Togo launched floating mines in the
course of the enemy. plan hitherto
unknown, which paralyZed WithOeft s
movement, as it was almost impossible
to detect the danger until upon it. The
Czarevitch when crippled was protected
by the other warships, which circled
around her. The Japanese, according
to custom, concentrated their fire on the
flagships. The accounts of precise re.
suits are conflicting, but agree that both
the contending forces suffered severely.
The Russians, it is claimed, later on,
conceded that the Japanese won a victory
in this engagement, which was fought
on the 10th inst.

O PSHAW!-MR. SHAW,

Heaven spare us from another
period when living expenses are
cheap" Secretary Shaw exclaimed in
an address to Delaware workingmen.
The question may be asked with equal
dcvOutness, what need is there for
calling upon Heaven when the trusts
are ever with us to prevent such dire
calamity?
Does any sane person think that the
poor in the East, who suffered last
winter by reason of the steady advance
in the price of coal, oil, meat and
other necessaries of life, can say
/" Amen" to Secretary Shaw's canting
exclamation? Does anyone suppose
that Heaven" will work special
miracle to stay the power of the
Standard Oil Company and its legions
Of henchmen, or that Heaven" will
smite with impotence the capitalists
who possess the power 20 advance the
price of meat or bread? Heaven"
has given to men many blessings, the
most priceless of which is intelligence
and ability to help themselves.
If some men, in their greed for
money, assume the right to exercise
the power of Heavens sole depositor-
les of intelligence, and gather to them
selves the bulk Of some produce neces-
sary to the we'll being Of a majority of
the people, then it is plainly the duty
of such majority to see that the de.
spoilers are purged OF their arrogance
Of what use is it. when many are suf-
fering under the tyranny of the few to
sit idly by and appeal to "Heaven" to
spare them from the wrongs inflicted
upon them? They are men, made in
the image of God, and it is a we'll.
proven truism that Heaven" helps
those who help themselves.
The poor grinding monopolies try
to help themselves. and the " Heaven"
of those who Cypress the poor-com.
monty known as Hell-helps the
monopolies. Secretary Shaw was too
polite to appeal to hell from a public
platform, to save us from decrease in
the prices of the necessaries of life,
but being fairly interpreted, that was
the locality to which his prayer was
addressed.
The people of the country are given
the power to help themselves, but if
the people insist on keeping in power
men pledged to uphold favored few
in industrial conditions rather than
who will make the welfare of the ma.
jority the object OF their solicitude,
can the many complain if the few wax
rich at their expense? If they en-.
deavor to help themselves. the good
old orthodox Heaven will help them.
If they submit tamely to their wrongs
Secretary Shaw's Heaven" will con.
tinue to help their oppressors.
