scrimmage, SO as to escape the ignom-
my OF defeat at the hands OF Japanese;
but the car is willing to apologize

The danger is o that the republic

strength, u that the democrats may
lose by our people falling to go to the
election. OF course, plenty will be
there to carry the State by a good
large majority, but the state wants to
maintain its normal majority. If there
was anything at all to stir the people
up. the majority would be forthcoming.
but while people feel absolutely sure
of the result, they will be more or less
Indifferent. To induce voters TO turn
out on election day ought 20 be the bur-
den of the speeches from no will the

The firing OF the Russian Baltic
feet upon a fleet Of English fishing
smacks in the North sea was a hor-
rible thing, and the fierce indignation
of the English people On account OF it
is Understandable in a sense. IN ALI
other view of the cas- it is not, Tor
the English are a composed, self-con-
tanned people, and that their anger
should burn against the whole empire
of Russia, and the government at st.
Petersburg, is lot quite like them. 1t
is utterly inconceivable that the Rus
sian government was behind this at
tack, and if it was not, British warth
should not be visited Upon the whole
Russian people. The most the Rus
sian government was guilty of, rea-
sOning by all the rules of common
sense, was putting a hair-brained cons
mander in charge of the Baltic fleet.
or, if he was not the guilty man,
putting in charge of a warship a cap
tain who had no more sense than to
give the command to fire under these
circumstances. The best theory that
can be advanced, in advance of the Of
fetal report of the Russian command
er, is that somebody got ratified, mis-
o the poor fishermen for japanese
and fired upon them in that belief.
The story is that ever since leaving
Libau, which they did on the 18th
instant, on their voyage of IL, 1000 miles,
TO Vladiyostock, everybody on the
Baltic fleet a been scared to death,
expecting to be blown up at any min
ute by Japanese torpedo boats.-Cahr-
