Not Me Right Wny.

New Ork IlmeS.
 Assistant Secretary of State Loomis has addressed to our diplomatic repre- sentatives abroad letter of instruc-
 tions. from which the following ex- tract is taken:
 "I have the honor to request that you will prepare a memorandum upon the capabilities of the Diplomatic Service for the promotion of our trade interests in the country to which you are ac- credited Our embassies and legations would seem to need only Il definite plan of action and proper in- structions to become powerful auxilia- ries in the great and constantly grow ing work of equipping our manufactur- CTS and exporters for effective cOmpc-
 tition in the worlds commerce" An Ambassador, Minister or Envoy
 who was at once bold and sensible
 would reply in these terms to wit: "I have the honor to report that in my judgment the most powerful auxiliary
 in the work of eqnipping our manu- facturers and exporters for effective competition in the world of commerce would be the enactment by Congress
 of a bill abolishing many and reduc- ing all the customs duties imposed by the Dingley tariff"
 The passing stranger who observed
 that upon .the porch of an inviting country house there was d mat bearing in large letters the word "Welcome' while upon the mat and substantially tpttlHinbuS litftNltu lay d HPGHelS growing bulldog, turned away disgust ed. with the remark that he hated hypocrisy It Is rot merely hypocri-
 tical, it is in a large measure futile for us to instruct our diplomatic rep
 rcsentatiVes to bother themselves about auXiliaries to our foreign trade
 when our domestic laws avowedly and effectively stand in the way of foreign trade. The pingley act is an act tc
 restrict imports. In the very nature
 of the case it must also restrict eX. ports, since it is an elementary truth
 that commodities flowing one way begit
 a trade in commodies flowing the other
 way. Until the Dnigley act Is revised radically the diplomatic officers of the government might as well spend their time singing psalm tunes as in hunt ing foreign buyers for our manufaet- ured goods.

THURSDAY, AUGUST II, 1904.
IT IS NOT UNREASONABLE.

The Republicans find no little amuse- ment in the claims Democrats are making that they will carry wiscon- sim this year, but they will do we'll to temper their mirth. lest they find that they have laughed too soon. They should remember that there are few games in life which show more sur prises than politics. It is the game full of uncertainties. and in which the fects.
 Hon. F. c. Wall, of Wisconsin, is not given to extravagant claims, and he declares that the fight there between the Spooner and LaFollette factions is so bitter that either would prefer that the Democrats carry the State than that either of their own factions should win. The fight there has been exceedingly bitter. and the prospects now are that it will be kept up until Both the State and Presidential cleo tions are over If that is done the Democrats may not only elect the Gov ernor and Presidential electors, but may carry a majority of the Congress sional Districts.
 It should not be forgotten that in 1890 the Republicans were badly divided on some local questions-the school question, we believe. At any rate the split was so bitter and per sistent that the Democrats elected the Governor by a plurality of over 2S.0o0 In 1892, also, the same factional fight was kept up and Cleveland carried the State by a plurality of 6.554. The conditions now are somewhat as they were then. perhaps more pronounced. and the results in those two years prove that Democratic claims are not altogether an irridescent dream.

HOW WILL IT ENDf

Never. at least in modern times has any war shown as many and continued surprises as has the present one be. tween Japan and Russia. We well re. member that when hostilities first be- gan the prediction was freely made in many quarters that the struggle would be very short. Figures were brought into requisition to prove the position taken. It was shown that Russia was very large nation and Ja pan very small one: that the former could furnish three or four soldiers to one of the latter; that the resources of Russia were almost boundless. her sol diers machines who would fight with out regard to consequences; and vari . ous other arguments were brought for ward to prove that Japan stood no show of success.
 The Advertiser never agreed with
The Montgomery advertiser., 1904-08-11

these predictions. We never disputed and resources. for the figures were not to be disputed, but figures are not all ways conclusive. We have the evl- dence of the great Teacher of Israel that "the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong" and we have many instances in history where a powerful nation has failed to conquer a weak one.
 We have been studying Japan and the Japanese with some degree of at- tention. and the result has been some- what of a surprise. No nation within our knowledge has advanced with such rapidity as the Japanese have. They have Caught on" to all the improve and intelligence that is as wonderful as 1t is surprising. In arms and muni- tions, in battle ships and ship destroy- CTS, in tactics and martial readiness for emergencies, they have astonishcd the world. From a weak and appa-
 rently inoffensive people. they have in less than a generation developed into a world power.
 When 1t comes to fighting qualities there are few, If any. to look down on added an intense patriotism. and some. thing of the Oriental fatalism which
 impels men to go to their death with | out hesitation or demur. They fight | whenever and wherever they can find the enemy. regardless of numbers or position, and they fight with as much confidence as courage and persistencY. Of course. no one can positively pre- dict the outcome. If Russia can keep
 1t up long enough, Japan may finally
 be worn out, as the Confederacy was l worn out by mere power of numbers and resources. Already it Is intimated that the plucky little nation Is threat ened with financial difficulties. It is
 hinted that she finds 1t difficult to raise
 money for the present and that a flu ture supply Is problematical. If thls is true, 1t may be the beginning of the end. Money Is one of the indispensa.
 ble sinews of war. without which mili- tary and naval operations must cease. The expenses of Japan are enormous.
 even though her soldiers live and
 cheerfully fight on rations which would cause a mutiny in almost any other | army. To provide arms, ammunition and acoutremen-. ships and naval
 stores. and all the other necessaries of a great army in the field Is a constant and enormous drain which must be pro-
 vided for or war must cease.
 And so 1t may be possible that Rus- | sia can hold out until Japan is exhaust
 ed and the end comes. This. as we | view 1t, Is the only way the big nation
 can succeed, and If success comes this
 way Russia will have nothing to boa st of nor Japan anything to be ashamed l of. We of the South know what it Is
 to be beaten by superior numbers and resources, and we know all the glory
 was not with the successful side.
