Much to Look Upon)
tyrant, the greatest empire that the
world has known was acquired by a
race of half savage nomads.
AS the home of the Manchu dynasty,
Manchuria, in the eyes of the emperor,
deserved honored treatment, and the
followers Of the standard-there was
scarcely a Manchu who had not seen
service-were specially cared for. It
was declared by special decree that all
Manchus for time amending should be-
long to one Of the eight banner corps
and receive small monthly stipend.
The great home country should remain
the exclusive property of all Manchus,
and Chinese were forbidden. to hold
land in it. The Koreans had now been
extended virtually to the banks Of the
Yalu on the south and to the sea on
the east.
The Manchu policy, which, in its
conception, provided for the continu-
ance and development of a great race
of pure Manchus, who would always
be at the beck and call Of the Manchu
dynasty and would be safeguard
against the restoration of Chinese rule
brought on results quite the reverse of
those desired. The Manchu found his
small wage sufficient at first to provide
food, and there was no longer the ne
cessity to live the arduous life of a
hunter or herdsman. In a generation
or two the race had degenerated into a
lazy band of parasites who, in the alb
sence Of strenuous life, had lost all
the cunning and the warlike skill
which had brought to them great
empire. They maintained reputation
for fierceness, however, and at the
time of the late war with Japan 1t was
predicted that the Japanese would find
q match in the Manchu cavalry. The
first engagement between the two dis
PEELED forever this illusion.

in the nations of Europe-are hoping for
the success of Russia"
In the latter class, says tho Varia,
stands Prussia, whose "old-time friend
ship for Russia is not diverted, notwith-
standing the latter's alliance with
France" It continues: did not the
German emperor send the autocrat of all
the Russias helmet as token Of en-
couragement, while his government
shows an admirable partisan zeal in pre-
venting the escape of Russian subjects
from the rigors of deportation to Siberia
or other hopeless confinement In Russian
prisons?" Japan's success has been a
most disagreeable surprise to Europe,
the Swedish magazine declares.
I'VE have been long accustomed to
regard foreign peoples with sense Of
distinct superiority, and the easy VIC
tories that have been won over Asiatic
races, such as the Chinese, have not
served to lessen our contempt for their
prowess. But now we are contemplate
ing . development of which no Euro
pean dreamed. >.
"What the present emperor OF Jap
an, Mutsuhito, together with his coun-
selOrs, has performed seems almost to
surpass everything that one has been
accustomed to admire in the greatest
rulers and statesmen of the world. 1t
serves to elevate him UNNECESSARILY
above rulers of the stamp of Gar Peter
l., surnamed the Great, who could not,
with all his tyranny, elevate his people
above that half-barbaric state in which
it still remains even to this day."
Whether Japan wins or not, says this
magazine, she has demonstrated her
right to be classed as a world-power.
If, by the shortsightedness of the Eu-
ropean powers, Japan should once more
be robbed of the material fruits of her
victory, her energetic and progressive
people will in any event have estab-
lished.their position, and right to occupy
a prominent place among civilized ma
tons"

Peter Sutphen, a farmer living be-
tween New Brunswick, N. J., and Mid
dleburgh, lost heifer which had
learned to stand in brook and snap up
the little fish which approached. He
asked the police to help him find the
heifer. They suggested that he look
along the river, az she might have gone
fishing. A few hours later Sutphen
telephoned the police, thanking them
for their suggestion and stating that
he had found his pet knee deep in the
Raritan river hunting for fish.

Here horses have their coats electric

DUE TRIBUTE MUST BE PAID.
The Glorious Women of the Com
federacy Must Be Duly HOnOred.

The memorial to the Women of the
Confederacy must be completed! 1t
is sacred duty the men-Veterans
and Sons-and the younger "Daugh-
tiers" owe to these grand women. The
appreciation of this fact lies deep in
every Southern heart. 1t only needs
awakening. The United Sons of Con-
federate Veterans have most willing
ly assumed the duty of bringing our
people to realization of their sacred
duty. The results of the comparatively
slight effort they have made, having
resulted in raising over $4,000, abso-
lutely insure that now they have COM
menced work in earnest, success must
surely and speedily crown their eff
forts.
The Women of the Confederacy dis
played a heroism unparalleled in the
history of the world. They showed a
devotion and God like fortitude which
proved them to be fit companions for
the glorious men, who stormed the
nights at Gettysburg, and marched to
death across Franklin's bloody plain"
They are deserving of all honor, all
prise, all glory. So deserving they
should have our acknowledgement of
their deserts. 1t is due to them-it is
due to ourselves-it is due to posterity,
that such examples of sublime woman
hood should be handed down
through all the coming ages by means
of such imperishable memorial.
1t is useless to discuss why man
kind in all times has thus honored it's
great heroes. All races and all peoples
have done this. Ii it is but natural to
honor Caesar or Napoleon or Wash
ington or Lee or Jackson, in imperish
able form, why should we not honor
those equally worthy and who have
shed the brightest lustre on high hu
man effort, the Women of the Confed-
eracy
But argument is unnecessary. The
obligation and the duty are appreciat-
ed by every Southerner. 1t only re-
mains that we respond to the dictates
of our hearts, to accomplish the work.
The Sons, assisted by the veterans and
the younger Daughters, have under
taken this grand work, and they do
not propose to rest themselves or allow
our people to rest until it is finished.
They have received the earnest in
dorsement of Gen. Stephen D. Lee,
commander of the veterans; Gen. c. r.
vine Walker, chairman u. c. V. Com
mittee on Cooperation; the unanimous
Endorsement of the U. C. ", to which
with the loving help of the younger
daughters, will be united, all working
together for one grand object, the SUI
preme effort the Sons are putting
forth. Such a combination of force
must produce the accomplishment OF
the ends all are striving for. Success
should-must-will-c the work.
