The Russians Are Confident.

This completes the exposition Of the
Russian forces, and gives an idea Of
the character Of the men who are to
direct them. 1t remains to be seen
what use it is contemplated to make
Of these weapons. This is the absorb
ing topic Of conversation wherever
Russian military and naval men meet.
The army, filed with courage, is pat
ting itself on the back and telling the
navy, in a gOOd-na tured way, that il
viii see that the Japanese are de
1eated. The navy accepts the banter,
but it is determined to aVenge the in
itial injuries sustained by the Port Ar
thur SQUADRON. The other day I met
Baron Fersen. who served until recent
~ as naval attache Of Russia in Wash
ington. He will have command of the
Jemtchug. In blowing up his ship"
he said, the commander Of the Variag
took the only proper course. 1t is ira
dition in our navy never to surrender;
to go down first That tradition will
be observed" Baron Fersen made this
statement simply. without any thought
Of vainglorious boasting. and 1 ac-
cepted his statement as an expression
of the views of every other officer who
Will be attached to the Baltic fleet.
Naturally, it is pure speculation to
discuss the plan Of operations to be
followed. The general naval staff and

Russia would never have been weak

called now to show that the general
staff has just appreciation of naval
strategy. But what il has decided upon
cannot be known in spite Of positive
statements made by Over-a1Xious cor
respondents on By subordinate military
and. naval officers in st. Petersburg
who believe that they themselves pos

Moltkes and who are eager to offer ad-
vice 10 their seniors. But when all
the speculation is sifted down it re-
solves itself into this: The greatest

SOME REPUBLICAN HsREsY.

THE IOWA IDEA seems to be
gaining some new adherents in the
Republican arty. and some notable ad-
herents. at that. Charles z. Littlefield
of Maine Is one of them. Mr.. Littlefield
succeeded in the house of representa-
tives the man who came 10 be known
as the apostle Of protection" the late
Nelson Dingley. Recently Mr.. Little
field was renominated and. following
the usual custom. he made speech TO
his constituents in which, after thank
ing them for the honor conferred upon
him. he said:
1T is. of course. a well known fact that
many corporations, especially large cor
porations, have "A comparatively small
basis Of actual value for their existing
capitalization. I DO not believe in impos-
ing "A tariff that would enable the ac-
cumulattou of profits to nay dividends
upon, this overcapitalization. which is
peculiarly known as wind and water. and
IN many instances very aJtenuated wind
and water at that
Furthermore. Mr.. Littlefeld took oc-
casion TO remark that the tariff was
made for man, not man for the tariff
If this isn't heresy in the late Mr..
Dingley's district we don't know what
could be properly called political here
sy. To be consistent. Mr. Littlefeid
must advocate an immediate revision
OF the tariff, especially OF the tariff on
foreign articles coming in competitions
with our own trust-made products.
There is not a trust in the country that
doesn't answer his very attenuated
wind and water description. He recog-
nizes the fact, so often denied by our
Republican friends, that the tariff
makes it possible for the wind and
water combinations to pay dividends on
their over-issues Of stock.
On the tariff question Mr. Littlefeld
seems to be very fair sort of Demo-
crat. He will probably have no oppo-
sition for reelection, and il he sticks
to his campaign pledges he may be
able to DO his country some good in
the house. He is at least a man of in
dependent convictions. as he has here
tofcrc repeatedly shown, and If the Re
publican party had more men like him
and fewer blind followers the nation
just now would be better or.
