zled over the fac that the sympathies
of the world, anJ Of America in par
tioular, seem to be with the Japanese
in the pending conflict.
This "disaGection, as they are
pleased to call it, Of "Russias old
friends gives them the deepest con
cern and pain. Count cassini has
gone SO far as to remind" us that
Alexander II. in 1868, out Of pure
friendship offered to aid the United
states during the civil war with
treasures of gold ami his feet Of
ships"
But the weakness Of this claim lies
in the fact that our state department
mas no record Of any such offer, and
in the further fact that Russia at that
time had no treasures Of gold" to
offer.
In 1862, only a year prior, Russia
had aoated a loan of S75,000,OOO, and
devoted the proceeds to an neffectu-
al attempt to reduce its outstanding
paper. In the year when Russia is
now said to have offered her treas
ures Ct gold" her paper currency, al
most wholly unsecured, amounted to
nearly 6S5 100000 roubles.
SO Cassini is very clearly giving us
hot air." There is no authenticated
record that Russia at any time ever
offered us anything more substantial.
AS to the attitude of Russian offici-
ais and newspapers during the Span
lsh-American war there is no room for
doubt or even for false statement The
Novista, a semi-official paper at St.
Petersburg. said when the struggle in
Cuba was nearing its crisis, that 1t
was full time to end "a senseless and
criminal war" and that America must
voluntarily submit her pretensions to
tribunal of the powers. The same
organ expressed the official opinion
that the powers should protest against
The proposed cession of the Philip
pines. The Spanish Red Book fur
nlshes ample evidence that Russia
throughout the war was an active ally
Of Spain, The Russian ambassador
even absented himself from Washing
ton and busled himself at European
capitals in diplomatic sohemngs IN
the interest Of Spain,
Certainly America has no ground
for gratitude to Russia.
But, after all, that is not the ques-
ton that Is paramount.
Japan is lighting the battle OF
progress and civilization, and every
other consideration may be sunk in
giving to her the full sympathy Of all
civilized ana progressive nations.
Japan stands as the champion OF
commercial rights in whose mainte
nance no nation is more vitally inter
ested than the United States.

the FIRE DEPARTMENT AND THE

One of the principal things that tie
citizens of Chicago are Interested IN is
the fire department.
There Is nobody on the charter COM
mission that is taking the slightest in
terest in, or paying the smallest attcn-
lion 10 this fact, although it i on"
that Is patent and is daily brought
home 10 every thinking citizen of Chi
cagO. The Board Of Underwriters and
Others who have had so much to say
in the past about the department are
lying suplnc and doing nothing about
IL. The majority Of the people be,
licve, however, that something ought tC
be done 10 remedy existing conditions
in this department.
No chief, no matter how efficient ht
may be, and no matter how capable
and indefatigable in the discharge OF
his duties, can attend 10 all the affairs
of the department and the tremendous
demands made upon it-eyer ihcreas

city.
