of Dalny, lies chiefly I'm the illustration
afforded OF the manner In which Japan
has screened her operations from the
rest Of the world during the war with
Russia. From the outset IL has been
apparent a policy Of secrecy was being
pursued such as no other nation ever
attempted. and reports from Japanese
sources. which I'm the main We're cor
rect as far as they went have been
sadly deficient in details, indicating a
desire TO avoid all publicity Of an un-
desirable nature.
The sinking Of the Yashima leaves
Japan with but four modern battleships.

EDITORIAL OPINION
Tho National Triumph.

From the Boston Transcript.
The more the election returns are
studied the more the Republican ma
tonal triumph appears noteworthy not
only for its force. but it's volume. The
electoral vote for Parker falls not only
below that received by Bryan. but
notably below IT, The popular plurality
for Roosevelt cannot be figured out
with exactitude. but IL viii be very
much larger than that which Mckinley
received in 1900, which in turn sur
passed chat he obtained in 1896. The
nation was with the Republican party
because the Republican party has been
ever the more responsive to the i'm
stinct Of nationality. This fact and il
is a great historical one, fortified by
the popularity Of President Roosevelt.
who is emphatically nationalistic, ac-
counts for the tremendous swing Of the
Republican triumph which swept Mis-
souri, from its old-time Democratic
moorings.
The situation presented by the elec-
tinn is. however. not realized either by
Judge Parker or Mr Bryan. for IN their
explanations there Is not the slightest
reference to the necessity OF respecting
national traditions or the sentiment Of
nationality. Judge Parker counsels
harmony within the party-easier to
counsel than 10 sccure--and eternal
warfare against the trusts. to whose
contributions he says he attributes the
success OF Roosevelt and Fairbanks.
Mr. Bryan declares that the defeat Of
the Democracy Is traceahle 10 it's turn
ing conservative when It should have
continued radical. This explanation
has an assurance about IL that Is posi-
lively piquant considering that Mr..
Bryan twice had his way. and was
twice defeated overwhelmingly the na-
tion resenting what ii deemed his att
tack ON the national honor, and seeing
what he is apparently unable to per-
ceive that his propaganda which he
aserts is against predatory wealth is,
i'm reality against thrift everywhere

MUCH DAMAGE BY LIVE

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Nov. ia bliz-
gard struck the Wyoming valley on
Sunday, which was the severest ex-
perienoed since 1856. The snow was
wet and heavy and clung to the tsle-
graph, telephone and electric light
wires. and many Of the wires sue
cumbed to the weight on them and
were broken. The result was a com
plete suspension of telegraph and tele-
phone service. The wires of the cleo
trio light company we're also down in
many places, and traffic had to be sus-
pended the greater part Of Sunday
night. Four horses were killed by
tresding on live electric light wires
and two repairmen were badly
shocked. Many narrow escapes were
reported Of physicians and others who
had to be out in the storm. Railroad
trafflc was also interfered with and
trains were very late. On the noun
tains the snow drifted and snow plows
had to be put into commission to re-
move the obstruction. The towns Of
Nanticoke, Luzerne borough and FC V
Fort were in entire darkness. e

ANrl.nRlnERY AelrArloN.

VAJE ARE glad TO see that our con-
w temporary. the Morning News,
recognizes the great evil OF bribery at
elections which we discussed at some
length yesterday. II also suggests a
remedy, which Is certainly unobjection-
able. and could It be applied would un-
doubtedly 80 Ear to break UP the prac-
tiee.
Any true remedy must spring from a
FUN recognition OF the evil. It's extent
and it's deadly influence in this COM
munity. For as long as so-called good
citizens piously fold their hands. re-
marking. "Yes, It is sad; they tell me
many men sell their votes, but Of
course YOU can't really tell much about
IT," nothing effective win be done.
So we must first recognize the evil.

and then we shall be ready to apply
remedies. We must admit further that
it is non-partsan. or, IL you please.
bipartisan. It Is system that has
come TO be regarded as painful but
necessary incident Of our politics. Re
publicans have taken advantage OF the
system. and Democrats have employed
It so far as their means would allow:
and. therefore, the leaders Of neither
party can claim exemption.
But not only are the leaders respon-
sible. but hundreds Of small party
workers In almost every district a
small sum is raised at every election
through local contributions. that Is
made to so as far as possible. Only
lack Of means limits the number Of
purchases.
Now through a course OF years under
the protection Of election fervor. a SEN
timent tolerant OF vote buying has been
created. and the only way to check 81
IS to create a counter sentiment to
meet and overwhelm It. The Morning
News suggests an agreement between
committees that they viii not use any
money for the purchase Of voters; we
suggest n new ballot law and the repeal
OF the voters assistant act; while
others shll demand a rigid enforcement
o. existing statutes.
But 1t all comes back TO this-an
awakened public conscience. with
that behind the movement, it may
branch out in several directions. but
we can't think OF a remedy that can
amount TO anything until our people
cease hypocritical lamentations and
pun or their coats prepared to battle
