The King of Italy, in his speech from

The Sweat box method of wrest-
ing confessions from prisoners is
sharply condemned by the Supreme
Court OF the Territory. 1t is a varia-
ton from the old thumb and
rack device of the Spanish inquisition
and is nicely calculated to make man
confess to anything rather than stand
the punishment. A searching inquiry
into what is known as the third de-
gree" discipline used upon the MUIR
derer Of President Mckinley to make
him reveal the names of accomplices,
IL he had any, ought to be made by
the humane societies. From all indi-
cations 1t is a relic of medieval bar
barism.

The attempt of some organization
here to compel the sole employment OF
citizens on the police force is absurd.
In place where so many races con-
gregate 1t Is necessary to have a few
alien police, japanese to ferret out
crimes among their countrymen and
Chinese and Portuguese to do the same.
The question to be settled Is one OF
capacity courage and honesty, not one
of citizenship. To catch the criminal
is the main point, not to pay a party
organizations debts.

Whether the capture of the 203-meter
fort is vitality important to the Jap
anese will depend on their ability to
direct a heavy fire from it upon the
Russian. ships in the harbor and upon
the enemy's surrounding defences.
Probably. before the capture was made,
the Russians removed the breech-blocks
from the big guns in the fort or other
wise damaged the armament. That is a
military duty where defeat is inevitable
and the guns cannot be taken away
In such event the Japanese will be
obliged, before they can clear the har-
Dor to drag big guns into the fort over
road more or less exposed. perhaps
to the Russian fire and mount then
while being bombarded both by Rus.
sian forts and ships. That, as anyone
can guess. would be no holiday under
taking.

THE WAR CORRESPONDENTS.

The war correspondents still COM
plain. They are unanimous in accusing
the japanese officers OF bad faith, but
the truth probably is that the home
authorities promised things which the
field commanders refused TO carry out
Az o rule General In the field abhors
the war correspondent as privileged
SPY. General Sherman would not have
the field reporters about his head
quarters in the Civil War campaigns
and at one time he threatened to hanB
whiteiaw Reid. During the Spanish
war Shafter and the pressmen were
always at odds. Lord Wolseley, in his
military text book, urged British off,
GERS to refuse CORES pondents shelter,
food and forage. Ten years ago the
Japanese were inclined to welcome war
correspondents and give them chance
to unfold the military virtues OF Japan
to the outside world; but after their
experience with James Creelman, VINO
invented the story of the Port Arthur
massacre" they drew the lines very
taut. allowing no new men to enter the
field and even cenzoring the private
letters of those already there. As to
the present attitude of the japanese
Generals 1t is the common and natural
one. No commander whose country's
fortunes and his own are at stake, can
afford to surround himself with foreign
observers whose business is to pene-
trate the secrets of his plans and pub
lish them to the world, using bribed
messengers or even the new device OF
wireless telegraph to reach that end.
Touching the complaint that cor
respondents are not permitted TO go
near the firing lines, it may be said
that the precaution is necessary lest
the men be captured by the enemy and
pumped dry of any information they
may have of the japanese dispositions
Probably after this war the special
correspondent at the front will dis
appear altogether. He is, particularly
since wireless telegraphy was invented
and owing to the bride money he has
on hand, too dangerous guest for a
cautious General to accept

Submarines will have a thorough
test when the Baltic fleet approaches
the Far East. Japan has five or more

hidden destroyers is bound to make
naval fighting somewhat more circum-
spect. Very likely warships will move,
while in a battle, with great speed and
never SO as to go over the same course
twice, the object being to evade the
slow-moving submarines and discon-
cert them

is to lure the Russian feet to destruc-

AN UNPLEASANT EXPERIENCE

Has it ever been your unhappy lot
TO be told by your physician that you
must go to a hospital and submit to
an operation2 If so, you remember
with what dread and shrinking you
awaited the day when you must endure
the knife.
The present day surgeon appears to
be possessed by a mania for operating
especially in cases of hemorrhoids or
piles, and while the greater number of
h profession do not recommend this
last resort unless they honestly be-
lieve it necessary. the fact remains
that much needless operating is done,
and the patient put to much expense
and suffering, for what?
To obtain a possible temporary re-
lief; these words are used advisedIv
ecaus in nine cases out of ten the
afniction returns and the patient is inst
where he started from. Oftentimes he
could be cured much more simply and
easily by the use of such a remedy as
the Pyramid Pile Cure: this has come
to be recognized as the best remedy
On the market Tor the painful disease
named, and the druggists now sell
more of it than all other pile remedies
combined.
The writer personally knows people
who were afflicted with the worst form
of bleeding and p~rotrudinE piles and
who We're permanently cured bv the
use of Pyramid Pile Cure. In every
one of these cases the attending phvsi-
clan had assured the sufferer that only
by an operation could he rid himself
of the disease: so much for the infaTU-
bility of the doctors.
This remedy, which is sold bv all
druggists at the low price of 80 cents
is in ~suDpository form, it applies d.
rectly to the parts affected, and per
forms its work quietly and painlesslv.
The Pyramid Drug Co, MarshalI
Mich, will mail free to any address a
book telling all about piles or hem
Orrhoids, their cause and cure.
A suggestion is offered that If the
reader is afflicted, or knows anyone
who is, this book be sent for, as it will
be found Invaluable.

Up Over Criticism,

Washington, Feb. 16.-Some of the
members of the Kansas delegation in
the house are considerably wrought up
over the charge mad by some Kansas
newspapers that they did not attend
the annual banquet of the Kansas Day
club because they were afraid to return
to the state during the progress OF the
hot factional fight which has just been
terminated. Individually and collec-
lively they deny the charge of political
c~owardice, and say that they would
have stayed way from the banquet
just the same if there had been no fac
tional contest within the party. Two
or three of the members, Bowersock,
Reeder and Calderhead, say that they
never attended a meeting of the Kan
sas Day club in the past, and see no
reason why they hould have been ex-
pected to make an exception this time.
Others of the delegation maintain that
for one reason and another they could
not get away, and that their absence
cannot by any stretch of the magma
ton be construed to mean that they
were afraid to go to Topeka on account
of the political conditions then exist
ing.
In a recent dispatch to the State Jour
nal it was stated that Representatlve
sion bills and the explanation was made
that some of them were introduced Tor
the purpose of correcting the military rec
ords of certain soldiers, removing charges
of desertion and for other reasons. In
view of Mr.. Campbell's announced inten-
ton of introducing only such private pen
sion bills as he could reasonably expect
to get through the house, and in view Of
the further fact that it is generally I'M
derstood that each member can not ex-
pect to pass more than four or five sucn
measures, it is only fair to nim to say
that of the sixteen bills introduced but
fveaprovide for original pensions or in

that he has adhered ~religiously 10 his de-
termination to introduce only such bills
as he can get through the house. and that
he is of the opinion that every one of the
Ave now pending in committee will be re-
ported to the house, pass that body and
