In the September number OF Book
lovers Magazine N. T. Bacon centri-
butes an interesting article showing, In
a measure, the corruption of Russian
officials. 1t is an accepted part Of the
Russion system that officials shall live
by exactions. Six years ago a secret
official report to the Tsar on the dis
content of Poland gave official extor-
lions as the main cause, and recon-
mended that the salaries OF officials
should be made sufficient to live on,
and that they should then be held
strictly responsible. The Tsar's own
copy Of this report was stolen for the
London Times, and bore note on the
margin in his handwriting saying:
t'This is to be done as soon as the
treasury shows the necessary funds
1t has been rumored OF late that the
war was brought on to cover pecula-
tions, especially in the interior depart
ment, whose chief has now become
the dictator pro tempore. do not be-

Russia; and it was the war with

Fighting and Not

New York, May l3.-"The
Russian soldier is courageous in
saying his prayers before going
into battle, and the same thing NAV
be said of the soldiers of the sultan;
but | have found that on the battle
field it is the fighting ard not the
prayers that wins said General
Nelson A. Miles tonight, in ex-
planning the success of the Japanese
soldiers against Russia. Gen. Miles
was speaking at a dinner to men,
bers of the Order of the Founders
and Patriots of America, of which
Admiral George Dewey today was
elected governor-general.
1T has been my privilege said
Gen. Miles, Ito see most of the
armies of the world. I have studied
carefully the armies of Japan and
of China and the soldiers of Russia,
and the success in the east today
of the soldiers of the mikado is due
to their wonderful skill, the faith
full performance of their duties and
their remarkable enterprise.
''Of all the armies of the world
continued Gen. Miles, ''ours seems
to differ in that the men are serving
for principle. Our met to feel
that they are working for a free
people, for a republic in which
every man is a sovereign and every
woman a superior of a sovereign.
Our flag represents the sovereignty
and the freedom of manhood. 1t
is a pleasure as we'll as an honor to
serve under it. | know this from
my forty years experience as a
soldier. In all that time there
never was all hour of the day that
it was not a pleasure to me to be in
the service.
Admiral Dewey said II do not
know as we have any better navy
than we had, but we have better
tools than we had a few years ago.
Of course the newspapers Will say
we have not, but, take my word fol
it, we have the best ships and the
best officers and the best men III the
whole world. AS to the enlisted
men especially, we are getting the
cream of the world, and with sucl
men ready and eager to fight, tn,
other nations are going to let IL
alone. And in a few years t
come, the American people arr
going to have the very best nav,
in the world, not for aggression
but to protect our rights.
