While the superior numbers

General Kuropatkin will not
strike a singing blow should a
strategical mistake be made
which will enable him to throw
a stronger Fanny upon one Of
the advancing columns Of his
antagonist. The most exposed
portion of General Kuroki's
command is that which moved
directly northward, evidently
with the intention of gaining
the road to Mukden, down
which it will march as soon az
the other columns are within

caution, heretofore the conspic'

Wonder has often been expressed
at the ability Of some OF the subord1-
mates to put It on the eye of the man
with political ambition. And that
wonder often extends beyond the
length and breadth of the business IN
which the man with the political am
bition is engaged. That is one reason
why the friends of some OF the recent
candidates made strenuous efforts to
prevent those candidates. There was
talk of money running to the millions
during the melee for the toga, but
no one could pin it right down to the
checks or to the exact figures. Fab
ulous prices were mentioned, but
those out in the cold, calculating
world attributed such figures to the
blunted sensibilities produced by po-
litical ambition.
The wisdom of the Senator makers
was fully demonstrated in the result.
Narrow personalities and private in
trests would never be expected to
properly wear the toga The spirit
which. temporarily reveling in the
realm of politics, saw fit to promui-
gate the idea that 9S cents a day was
sufficien for any laboring man was
feared as much two months ago as 1t
was 90 years ago. But 1t would be I'M
kind, very unllind, to go far into these
little matters. 1t would scarce be
right to adopt the same tactics as
those who are filled to overflowinS
with the political ambition.
