Bayonet Charges.

We fail to get, from the battles about
Liao Yang the lesson which many of
the newspapers infer from it, namely,
that the theories of military men, that
there would be no more close range
lighting, have been overturned by the
Japanese. The conclusions of. these
newspapers are shown to be wrong by
the fact that, considering that the
lighting lasted for about ten days and
there were at least 400, 900 troops
engaged, the total losses on both sides
including killed, wounded and pris-
oners was about 10000. 1t is large
total, and yet compare it with the bat
ties of Gettysburg and Gravelotte and
fifty others where the less destructive
weapons until recently used made it
possible for troops to get close to each
other and the list of casualties at Lao
Yang looks quite small In comparison.
Yet we are asked to believe that the
Japs actually did what brigade of the
flower of England troops got destroyed
in less than i've minutes at Mayors
fontein for attempting, Ito charge
upon intrenchments manned by Boer
riflemen. 1t is, of course, very prob
able, in fact certain, that the Russian
falls far short of the Boer, as marks
man. And in those fields of Chinese
corn, higher than mans head, it may
have been possible for an occasional
body of Japs to steal up very close to
the enemy, without making targets of
themselves, but these would be excep-
tional happenings, not to be taken into
account in forming a general theory as
to the possibility of making bayonet
charges trenchments defended
by fairly good marksmen armed with
repeating rifles and smokeless powder
1t simply can not be done by the Japs
or any one else. 1t is true that the Japs
have attempted it occasionally during
this war, but invariably with the most
disastrous effects upon themselves,
although English war correspondents
pretend that the Russian soldier is such
a stupid stick that he cannot even be
taught to aim gun, or trusted to fire
one except at the word of command
The war correspondents that have been
developed during recent wars are
certainly the greatest liars upon the
face of the earth, and they are telling
thair newspapers some astonishingly
foolish yarns, which read very little
like the reports afterwards made by
the Japanese generals. The day of the
bayonet is past. The bayonet, has
gone TO keep company with the spear
the sword and the javelin.

BRAH MAN PROVERBS.

He that committeth no evil hath
nothing to fear
Mix kindness with reproof and rea-
son with authority.
OF much speaking cometh repentance,
but in silence is safety.
The first step toward being wise is to
know that thou art ignorant.
Envy not the appearance of happi-
ness in any man, for thou knowest not
his secret griefs.
Indulge not myself in the passion of
anger. 1t is whetting sword to wound
thine own breast
Consider and forget not thine own
weakness, so shalt thou pardon the
failings of others.
The heart of the envious man is gall
and bitterness. The success of his
neighbor breaketh his rest
This instant is thine. The next is in
the womb of futurity, and thou know
est not what it may bring forth.
AS veil addeth to beauty, SO are a
mans virtues set off by the shade
which his modesty casteth upon him.
AS the ostrich when pursued hideth
his head, but forgetteth his body, so
the fears of coward expose him to
danger

Training a Beagle.

With regard to the training of a
beagle, he has to be treated on quite a
different plan from the setter and
pointer. In their cases a great deal Of
work of training is to conquer natural
propensities, whereas with the beagle
you encourage him to go on and do oil
he can in seeking and chasing when
found. Young dogs are usually put
down with an older one, and very
few lessons suffice. 1t comes as nat
ural to a beagle to run scent as for a
terrier to kill rats, and if there is no
apparent inclination one lesson usually
provokes it. The less one interferes
with beagle running a line the better
for the dog, so long as he is not potter
ing in one well tested place, but casting
all about when he has lost the trail

Mutuahzing in Grim e.

The resolutions adopted by the
recent republican convention in this
city, declare:
Eve believe that it is the duty of all
republicans, not only as republicans,
| but as citizens, to abide by and uphold
| the determination of the court"
In the same tenor are the letters of
5. A. Cook and the 14S republicans
addressed to Secretary Cortelyou, of
the republican national committee
The ultimate significance of these
repeated declarations is something very
| different from the surface indications
| This will be better considering what is
before the court The Supreme Court
is asked to decide which of two conven-
tons most nearly complied with the
statutory requirements regarding the
conduct of party caucuses and con-
ventions; and therefore, which so-called
party is entitled to preference in posi-
ton on the official ballot. That is all
When the decision is announced, the
nominees of the successful contestants
will be given precedence on the ballots
Obedience will not be particularly
difficult or meritorious. 1t is net &c be
supposed that the court will blanch the
Ethiopians skin or change the leopard S
spots The personal and political
character of the litigants will remain
the same. The governor will still be
the disinterested, high-minded and
patriotic executive that his personal
partisans believe him to be; or the
blatant, autocratic and unprincipled
demagogue that the stalwarts proclaim.
So the latter will remain substantial,
energetic, intelligent and honorable
business men, or purchasable, bribing,
intimidating corruptionists that the
half breeds denounee. There will be
no alchemy in the Courts decision to
transmit political degeneracy into
patriotic nobility.
Since compliance with the courts
decision will be an easy and unavoid
able act, persistent repetition of inten-
ton to uphold the decision, is thinly
disguised declaration of purpose of
support of the successful faction by the
defeated one Since the governor has
repeatedly avowed a contrary determin-
alton, the general purport of the
announcements, is that the stalwarts
are preparing to kiss the foot that kicks
them. The republicans are preparing
to mutualize in crime for the sake of
the offices.
