Britain to stop our national independ-
ence Count Cassini boosted of the
sympathy of Russia for this country in
the Civil War, but the records of the
State Department show no offer to help
the Union, and, if we had needed it.
Russia was not in condition to supply
financial aid. In the war with Spain,
/ the proposal of the Car was that our
claims should be submitted to the Euro
pean Powers, and il is plainly stated
j that the Spanish Red Book proves a
: secret understanding with the Musco-
! vite Empire against the United States
| To the extent of her means, though
| impeded by rooted conservatism. Rus
/ STA has been compelled to adopt modern
science in her army and in her navy.
But her policy is medieval and exclu-
sive, resting upon system of govern
ment that is now a solecism and glar-
ingly antagonistic TO the Western Pow
ers and to the expanding civilization
they represent. Her permanent acquisi-
ton of Manchuries and of Korea would
place China at her mercy, and would
probably result in the destruction of
Japan as leading factor in Asia. It
would surely establish a formidable and
almost insuperable obstacle to Ameri-
can and European plans for Asiatfc de-
velopment The Pacific might be con-

might be indefinitely held in the grasp |
of tyranny, ignorance and torpidity.
1t seems that this conceivable arrest
of modern. energy is not within the
scheme of Providence. There is a fair
that Japan alone may tear the
paws of the Russian Bear from it's hold
on China. The course of events at /
Port Arthur, in Korea and on the Man
churian border has produced one un-
mistakable evidence of a severe check
to aggressiveness and rapacity There
is disturbance in the councils of the
Car. Count Lamsdorff is too conserva-
tive and Isvolski, the Russian Minister
1T Copenhagen, a more relentless adher-
emit OF ancient Muscovite policy, is
spoken of as his successor. Generals
are displaced and changed. Even
Alexieff, invested with absolute author
ty at the seat of hostilities, has been
Questioned and is liable to Immediate
ero ition. All these are signs Of weak
less, and many capable authorities look
lpon the Russian army and navy, es-
,ecially in the vital commissariat, as a
hell, as ready to explode as was the
french army when Won Moltke touched

The railroad situation in Manchuria
is to the advantage of the Japanese.
Over the one slender and not Well
established track, comes a heteroge-
neous caravan of trains, getting in each
others way, side-tracHing for specials
and for returning cars, suffering the
accidents of the rail and the delays in
cident to snow and flood. There are
food trains, artillery trains, horse
trains, infantry trains, ammunition
trains, running, as usual in such cases,
on contradictory schedules, and get
ting themselves into an inextricable
snarl. In this way the English papers
described the status of Manchurian
railroad traffic just before the war
began; and now kilograms arrive
which show that the situation has
not improved and that there is still
the greatest difficulty in moving men
and supplies.

sALUTED WHILE SINKING.

The English papers tell the following
story which illustrates the intrepidity
of the late Admiral Keppe1 and the dis
cipline he maintained aboard ship: His
ship, the Raleigh, was in danger of
sinking, and he had to run her into a
French port. AS she entered the har-
Dor French vessel fired a salute. The
Raleigh was last sinking, but Sir Henry
literally stuck to his guns and returned
the salute with the water rushing in at
the portfolios, the sailors manning their
guns and firing till the ammunition a.
bove water was exhausted.

JAPAN THE ClVlLlZeR.

The war between Russia and Japal
is. as the Russians have said, between
civilization and barbarism, but tn
brown regenerators of the East cal
establish a better footing on the civ
ilized side of the contest than the white
Tartars of the North.
Russia is IAN autocracy tempered b3
assassination" Japan is an imperial
ism tempered by parliaments and law
Russia has school system for the
few in which instruction is along lines
dictated by the State; Japan has one
which takes all knowledge for its
province and invites the masses TIC
come in and learn whatever they
think will train their understand
ings. broaden their humanity and en-
large their minds. The church, IN
Russia is an affair of state and dis
senters are not allowed free privileges
of worship Jews who will not conform
to the Greek ritual being driven from
their homes or killed; in Japan there
is perfect tolerance of all religions.
The judiciary of Russia obeys the
Gar; the judiciary of Japan interprets
a modern code. Boosting of its civ
ilization, Russia maintains a mediaeVai
prison system. as inhuman in it's way
as was that of Spain in the days of
Torquemada; but lately from pagan
darkness. Japan has a prison system
from which the white light of the
noblest civilization shines. In Russia
the individual has no rights which the
government or even the police
may not capriciously take away;
in Japan his rights are safe
guarded by law and respected by
administrators. The one country is
satisfied to keep a medieval govern
ment which it seeks to defend by
modern ornaments and impose upon
weak nations; the other is forever lib
eralfzing it's government and seeking
the greatest good to the greatest num-
ber Ten years ago while Russia was
grinding the Mongol peasants on the
Amur under the spurred heel of the
dragon, Japan was teaching the prin-
cipIes of municipal law to the Mongol
inha bitants Of the Liaotong peninsula.
Now when Russia proposes to steal |
from China and Korea to make an |
other Siberia, Japan proposes to es-
tabIish their rights and their political |
independence and encourage them to |
go forward in her ON path of prog
ress.
Dark, brutal, vengeful, a Middle
Ages monstrosity in the fair domain
of Europe, Russia stands for Cossack
rule and nothing better. Modern,
hopeful, progressive. Twentieth CEN
fury influence in the affairs of Asia
and the world, Japan stands for all
that material civilization values, and
is as Christian in its Buddhism as
Russia is pagan in its Christianity.
