THE EASTERN WAR

Conflicting reports of the wal
situation in the Orient continue to
be sent out from the seat of war
Last Thursday it was reported that
two battalions of japanese had
been captured in a trap by the
Russians and annihilated. This
was followed by the report Sunday
that the japanese had caught the
Russians in a trap near Pu Ian
Tien, causing them to lose 800
men. According to the dispatch
the japanese made false retreat
and when the Russians followed,
the latter were envoloped in a
flank movement.
just how long the war may con-
tinue no man can tell. 1t is said
that there is q striking contrast
between conditions in the two
countries. In Russia universal
discomfort prevails and domestic
insurrection is feared to break
forth at any time. The people are
losing confidence in their govern
ment. The soldiers in the field
are losing confidence in their gen
erals and desertions are said to be
frequent. The japanese, on tn
other hand, are thoroughly and
enthusiastically in sympathy with
their government. They stand
ready to die for their country,
counting it glory and an honor
to make sacrifices in behalf Of
common cause.

THE CONVENTION

The State Democratic COnven-
ton was composed of distin-
guished and conservative body OF
men. Its proceedings, while ct
times intense, always earnest, were
characterized by the true Demo
cratic spirit. The delegation to
st. Louis will be unhampered by
instructions, although the prevail
ing sentiment was in favor OF the
nomination of Judge Parker. The
vote of the delegation will be cast
as a unit, according TO the majority
rule.
The platform adopted is one
all Democrats can stand on. 1t is to
be hoped that it will have the effect
expressed by Senator Daniel when
he said that the duty of the hour
is: "To get together and stay to-
gether and fire solid shot at the
common enemy" AS was expect
ed, the primary system was heart.
ily endorsed and the secret ballot
made feature of it. Thus it was
proven conclusively that the Demo-
cratic party in Virginia stands
for the principle of guarding the
right of the humblest citizen in
having a voice in the selection of
candidates for public office.
A spirit of hopefulness pervaded
the convention and the leaders
expressed cheerful anticipations of
victory in the approaching contest.
The general conviction seemed to
be that this is Democratic year
and with a conservative standard
bearer victory can be counted on.
