all Of these Democratic success is look
ed for. and the reasons are those noint-
ed out by the, Chicago Tribune's CORE
spondent
Two main influences tend to swing.
the voters of Massachusetts, Rhode ISL
and and Connecticut to the Democratic
side. These are the interest that the
people of the manufacturing commune
ties of New England have in reciprocity
with Canada and the very large adj
mixture Of French Canadians IN the,
population of the states referred to.
Within the past ten years the drift of
population from Canada into lower
New England has been remarkable.
The French Canadians are thrifty lot,
hardy of physique, Industrious Of char
acter and extremely frugal in their
mode of life. They can make living
and profit where a less provident
people starve They have gone into the
New England factories in large num-
bers and form a very acceptable class
abandoned farms of New England
which the descendants of the. old stock;
refused to cultivate, and made them
selves homes. They now constitute, in
Massachusetts and Rhode Island par
ticularly, a very large proportion of the
entire population.
These people retain the friendliest
feelings and the strongest ties for their
neighbors and relatives on the north.
Their business interests, also, are in
favor of reciprocity. They are so much
interested in receiving food supplies
finding there profitable market for
their manufactured goods, that no party
ties will be allowed to stand in their
way. 1t was late, but prudent appre-
citation of this fact which changed the
whole character Of the Republican
campaign in Massachusetts, Canadian
reciprocity Is a word to conjure with
now in New England, and the Repub-
lican party dare not ignore it. In the
three northern states Of that section
the issue is less pronounced; but in the
southern communities, where manufac-
turing engages so large a portion of
their entire capital and labor, it is VITAL
The position of the Democratic party
this year is going to give it the votes
of all regular Democrats, of all the
French and other Canadians, whose in
terests and whose sympathies are
aroused by the reciprocity issue of
manufacturers and who want free coal
and other materials, and of large list
of voters heretofore Republicans but no
longer willing, to support their party in
opposition to their own interests. The
very modest note of alarm sent out by
the Chicago Tribune, an ardent Repub-
licah paper and a supporter of Roose-
welt, is justified by the situation. The
Democratic party is going. to carry
Rhode Island and Connecticut, and it
| need surprise no one to find Massa-
| chusetts in line.

ASToNISHED AT THEIR MoDERA.
TON


One of the great robbers of history
said once that when he looked back
over his career and saw opportunities
that had come to him for plumber un-
improved, instead of being abashed by
his greed he was "astonished at his
own moderation" There is something
recently in this city by Capt. III. A.
Castle. Speaking of the scandals and
populations in the postoffice depart
ment, he said that these thieveries
were as nothing compared to the OPP
portunities. This graft, according to
him, amounted probably to not over
quarter of a million dollars in all, which
was but a drop in the ocean as COM
pared with the amount of money han
died by the postoffice department.
No utterance could be more in har-
mony with the practices or more con-
sistent with the tone of the Republican
party at this time. Even the simplest
rules of moral conduct have ceased to
have any meaning whatever except as
construed by the needs of the moment.
1t would reel you off by the mile high
sounding platitudes about the need Of
individual character and the impor
lance of honesty and the beauty Of
good government; but when 1t comes
down to the practical question whether
a rogue is a rogue, and whether steal
ing is theft, then you must stop and
consider whether it is the Republican
officeholder and the Republican admin
istration and the Republican party that
will be injured or not.
Now what is called opportunism is a
trait of all parties and all politicians.
Nobody except the saints is quite free
from it. By this we mean that a man
tempers his views of policies according
to the situation. Thus Republican
newspapers are low tariff for about
twenty-one months out of each two
years and high tariff for the three
months just before election. This is not
admirable in relation to economic doc
trine, but it is more pardonable than
when applied to the moral code.
Theft is theft as murder is murder,
and the stealing of dollar is of the
same order of morality as the stealing
of a million. We cannot regard it as
other than significant that a gentleman
who was long connected with the pres
ent administration, and who has been
consistent Republican off1ceholder
through large part of his life, regards
the low percentage of defalcation as
compared with opportunity in the light
of a party vindication and certificate OF
character.
This despicable test Of party conduct
runs all through the work of the pres
ent administration. 1t is what makes
straightforward, honorable men even
more indignant than the bold robbery
of outright grafters. When a boss and
his gang are plundering city they at
least make no pretenses. But when q
man is emitting daily high platitudes
{. which are belied by his daily acts, the
gorge rises. 1t is exactly the same
thing that is found in the presidents
message when he sets over against our
bold reputation of treaty obligation
and national honor at Panama the gain
of territory and the building of the
canal itself.
All along the Republican line there is

Japanese Reported to Have Lost 10000
in Assault on Port Arthur.

Chefoo, Aug. 3.-11 a. ma des-
perate three days assault on the inner
defenses on the northern and eastern
sides of Port Arthur has failed. ac-
cording to advices brought by two
junks which arrived here today. A
Russian, who escaped from Port Ar
thur via Pigeon bay on the night of
bled under the terrific cannonading
which began at 4 a. m. July &c and
ended during the night of July %,
when the battle ceased. A Chinese,
who has arrived here on a separate
junk, confirms the Russians statement
that the Russian killed and wounded
during the assault numbered between
5000 and 5000. The Japanese in the
repeated assaults against the eastern
forts on the hills, through barbed wire
entanglements and over mines dis
played fanatical bravery. They were
moved down by bullets and the ex-
plosion of mines under their feet
Their losses are estimated at twenty
thousand. The Russian declares that
the Russians held all the eastern forts
leading to Golden Hill and that the
Japanese, shattered and exhausted,
retired to the eastward.
AS related by the passengers from
the two junks, the Japanese advance,
which began from Kwokau before
Kikwan, Kinkitun Kinkishan and
Pchtch ohan forts, lying near shore.
The Russian outposts were driven
back. In the meantime Admiral Togo
shelled the forts at long range, but the
return fire of the forts kept his ships
at a safe distance, rendering the CO.
operation of the fleet ineffective.
On the morning of July 81 the Rus
sian fleet steamed out. keeping under
the protection of the Golden Hill guns.
The Russian vessels did not fire on
the Japanese and soon returned to their
anchorage. The assault on the north
ern side of the city occurred July 81.
The Japanese left at HSikau advanced
on the Russians at Shinshi Ying, but
were repulSed.
The junks were within hearing dis
lance for three days after leaving,
but no more firing was heard.
The Russian hospitals at Port Ar
thur are said to be swamped- Thous-
ands of wounded are lying in houses
and shops of the Chinese. the owners
having been evicted with the exception
of one who acts a caretaker of each
place. Medical attention is adequate.

American goods, but it is not ready to
