Jaoan's Ascendency in Korea.

There is now another sick man in
the family Of nations. Turkey has for
a long time enjoyed this distinction,
though of late it has been feeling more
perky and able to set up and observe
what Is going ON around it. The first
place on the sick list is now taken by
Korea This little nation seems to be
much like a cripple in the way of
wildly charging automobile. The war
between Russia and Japan is in a large
degree conceI ming this nation; and the
land fight promise to be upon its
territory. Moreover. it finds itself in
an extremely unpleasant position in
other respects. While the influence of
Russia has been potent at its capital,
tie popular sentiment is strongly in
favor Of japan. The reason of the
leaning of the high officials towards
the cause of the Russians is easily eX-
planned by travellers. who report that
Korean officers are themselves corrup-
florists, in comparison with whom
Tammanys vilest grafters are gentle
men Of integrity and honor. Russia
has undoubtedly, by using much
money in Korea won the official friend
ship, but now that the war is really at
hand it is likely to find that friendship
bought this way is not of a substantial
variety.
The Korean government officials now
realize that their offices and their very
lives are at stake, and are said to be
following the popular crowd and
shouting for Japan. The Russian dis
astcrs and the presence of japanese
troops filing the streets of the Korean
capital strengthens the Japanese senti-
ment in that country and to all intents
and purposes Korea is even now under
japanese province. Already dispatches
tell of the appointment of Il japanese
viceroy to direct Korean policies dur
ing the war. The Korean navy which
consists of single gunboat, has been
pipced ut the disposal of Japan. All
this means that the little empire of
korca, which became independent only
Il few ycars ago, is really weaklng
nation without stamina enough TO
stand alone. and that she is bound to
hc II vass;u of some stronger power.
Japan having gained the asccndency
there 50 easily and so carly is not like
~ to be routed. and. whatever the out
com of tn war in other RESI- &c 1t is
a pretty safe figuring that the
E"oSrapher and the historian of the
future will class Korea as a Japanese
dependency.

fitting that he should be backed UP by
three vice presidents. This not oulv
allows large number of the popu-

ally lessons the dangers of revolutions
which are always to be leckoned wit,
i'll that climate. President AmaGor was
governor of the province of Panama
before it severed it's connection with
Colombia, and has had considerable
experience in administrative affairs.
He is a man of peace and industry, and
Il soldier only by accident. He was
active in the formation of the new
| republic, and is said to be one Of those
few Central American statesmen, who
are in politics through public spirit and
| loyal devotion to the country's welfare

1t is almost needless to add that
President AmadOr is particularly we'll

the least evidence of his admiration for

under his administration, and may the

A Crusade AGAINST Clothing.

A Crusade Against Clothing.
There are all kinds of people among
the immigrants knocking for admls-
sion at the door Of this country. but
one of the worst freaks of recent years
seems to be Joseph Salomonson, who
arrived in New York from Holland. the
other day. His weird appearance at
tracted the attention of the reporters,
and he has been given lots or space IN
the New York newspapers. He came
to this country. SO he declares, to re-
form it from the gigantic evils of wear
ing clothes and eating meat. He real
ICES that he has undertaken big task,
but the reporters came away from the
interview with him assured that he IS
no more crazy than the great majority
of people who are at large. He wears
nothing but a mantle reaching from
the shoulders to the knees, and he does
this as a concession to the police.
Why wear things" said Salononson,
and why eat what is bad for the sys-
tenn" In his philosophy clothes and
meat became foolish. He gave them
up. In an interview with a New YORK
World reporter the apostle of naked
ness explained his doctrine thus: i
only began to live when l discovered
this beautiful kind of life am now llv-
ing. Salt is the enemy of the world.
Since l stopped eating salt with my
food have not taken Il drink and have
moistened my mouth only with the
juices of fruits. 1t used to cost me
s., 900 a year to live, now it costs me
only $3.50 a year. When am at home
do not wear any clothes-nix, niX-l
want to get as close to Nature as pos
sible. l sleep out in the fields, and the
magnetism from the earth is like an
injection of morphine. l am awakened
in the morning by the glorious sun
rise, and my eyelids and whiskcrs are
covered with dew. 1t is delicious"
All this is very beautiful and inspir-
ing, but we cannot help feeling that Mr..
Salomonson would have something
more than dew on his eyeliGs and
whiskers if he were to sleep in the
Maine fields this winter. or in the vi
cinity of one of our marshy lakes dur
ing the mosquito season. The ladies in
particular will be interested in Mr..
Salomonson's theory that the wearing
of clothes is all that prevents them
from having compilations of peaches
and cream, until at least the age of 100
years had been reached. Probably,
however, he is making a mere guess
when he declares that most men and
women. who are too fat. would grow
slender and graceful and sylph-like if
they would only go out into the woods
and divest themselves of the habili-
ments of fashion. and live close to Ma
ture las God intended they should
But some of us will be inclined to doubt
his declaration that a person gets used
to going naked after the first day. Mr..
Salomonson proposes to make a lee
ture tour of the country, and asserts
that he is not going back to Holland
until he has driven out of business all
manufacturers and dealers in clothing
IN this continent. Doubtless his ar
rival will result in some great mark
chants who will object to the prospect
of having their goods left on han when
this grand change in fashion becomes
Il reality.
