EDITORIAL OPINION
Source Of Japanese visor.
From the Medical Record.

From the Medical Record.
The japanese are allowed to be
among the very strongest people on
earth. They are strong mentally and
physically. and yet practically they eat
no meat at ALL The diet which enables
them 10 develop such hardy frames
and such well- balanced and keen
brains consists almost wholly of rice
steamed or boiled, while the better-to-
do add to this Spartan fare fish. eggs
vegetables and fruit. For beverages
they use weak tea. without sugar or
milk. and pure water. alcoholic stim-
ulants being but rarely INDUCED IN.
Water is imbibed In what we should
consider prodigious quantities-to an
Englishman, indeed. the drinking Of so
much water would be regarded as mad
ness. The average Japanese individual
swallows about a gallon daily in divided
doses.
The Japanese recognize the beneficial
effect Of flushing the system through
the medium OF the kidneys and they
also cleanse the exterior Of their bod
les to an extent undreamed Of IN Eur
ope or In America.
Another-and perhaps this Is the
usage ON which the Japanese lay the
greatest stress-is that deep. habitual
forcible inhalation OF fresh air Is an
essential for the acquisition of strength.
and this method Is seduously practiced
until II becomes a part Of their ma

WELL SAID.

TINE Dover state News from the
point Of view OF spectator
makes this wise observations:
II our Republican friends in Della
ware would make up their minds that
they are two separate and distinct poli-
tcal parties a great deal Of personal
and social asperity would be avoided
here. What's the necessity OF this
pulling and hauling TO get all In the
same line on our ticket, when our big
blanket ballot will hold all the parties
we can make up?
That's it exactly There are either
two Republican parties or two fac
tons. II they are merely factions they
should drop their squabbllng and gel
together and get an the offices they
can. But parties are supposed to rep.
resent principles, and If they are hon.
est they will make any sacrifice neces.
sary to maintain their principles. And
ii may be remarked that the chief
function Of a party is not to please its
opponents.

TIE aMopELg SALOON.

A MODEL saloon was opened In
~ New York yesterday with cere-
monies that to say the least are
unusual Bishop Potter made an ad-
dress IN which he declared: "This is
the greatest social movement New York
has ever known" several prominent
educators made addresses and the
ceremonies concluded with the sing
ing Of the Doxology.
We doubt very much whether the
great reform which the Bishop expects
WIN be realized. We are inclined to
think that the modern saloon is con-
Quoted in about the manner that the
people who patronize II approve. II
this is true, they win not care par
tlcularly whether philanthropists or
professional mixers furnish them their
drink
Bishop Potter is an old man and he
has watched the temperance movement
for years under its many forms. lac
has seen drastic laws ignored, regula-
tions set at defiance when they did not
meet with the approval Of the great
army Of men who like their glass; and
the lesson that he has drawn seems ia
be that the saloon should be reformed
and that good people should devote
their efforts to that end.
But there is a greater lesson which
experience has taught ana that is that
there should be less drinking of in
toxicants. This prelate might have
concluded that as legislation has failed
to eradicate the evil OF excessive drink
ing. an intelligent EFFORT should be made
to discourage it in social life, and that
correct lessons and correct examples
shsrid be given in the homes Of the
people Of his diocese. But to substi-
tute for the average saloon where un-
limited beer ana whislIey may be drunk
a model saloon. equally enticing and
equally wide open. does not seem to be
in the nature OF reform.
Much is made Of the point that this
new saloon win sell nothing but pure
beverages. But adulterants are not
half 50 common as many believe. And
the reason is that 1t doesn't pay. We
doubt not that there are many saloons
in New York that are run practically
under the same regulations which are
10 apply to this reform institution, yet
they have not met the nrobIesnI

JAPANESE VICTORIES.

TT is beginning to dawn upon many
OF the military experts that In her
attempt 20 subdue Japan Russia

yond her powers. The end OF tho
Russian resistance in Southern Man
churia seems to be at hand. Port Ar

a series OF desperate attacks the Japa-
nese have reduced Kuropatlxin's army
to a state in which the only question
apparently is whether 1t can save itself
from destruction by headlopg nghi.
Part Of 1t has been cut Off already, and
the rest may be trapped before It can
make It's escape.

quarters at the strength OF Japan and

IT. HE Dover Index says the Demo-

ought TO be "dignihed and hon-
est" And the state News retorts: "A
man ought to be dlgnihed and honest
whether he is candidate or not"
Both are right. yet the real truth
falls to the ground between them. Ger
tainly an men ought TO be dignihed and
honest. but an men are not. Even all
governors are not Consequently. not
every man Is qualified for the job. To
select man Of integrity and dignity
would be something and other desirable
qualities would only add to his
strength.
For we are not yet ready to preach
the doctrine that politics is a slight-of-
hand performance, series OF tricks to
deceive the people We think that
there are several thousand men right
here IN Delaware who are determined
Ito vote for man for Governor. and If
they can't find him IN their own party
they win look for him elsewhere. for

London, March Little change IN
the Far Eastern situation Is reported
this morning. It Is apparent that the
Japanese are busIIy engaged In trans
porting their forces into Corea, ana
this work is facilitated by the enforc.
ed inactivity OF the navy.
According to the Sebastopool cor
respondent Of the Daily Graphic, Ad-
rniral Skrydloff has learned privately
from Port Arthur that the Russian
battleship Retzivan lies in such po-
sitiOn as to block effectually the exit
Of battleships from the harbor, the
passage being practically only the
cruisers. The correspondent adds that
Russia's new battleships now building
on the Baltic will not be ready for ac-
tive commission before the end OF Au.
gust.
The Japanese officer who has charge
OF Japan's financial and commercial in
terests In England declares that the
government foresaw the possibility OF
coal being declared contraband OF war,
and that 1t had been collecting large
stores of Welsh steam coal for years.
SO that today 1t had a supply sufFici-
ent for the navy for years to come.
According to Toxic correspondent
of the Standard, the Mikado has sent
personal message to the Emperor OF
Corea assuring him that the war was
declared solely with the ivtw to Sc
curing permanent peace, and express
ing the sincere wish that the recently
concluded Japanese Corean protocol
would increase the intimacy OF the
two countries.
On the strength of statement made
by a missionary, the Shanghi cores
pondent of the Daily Chronicle sends
in doubtful report that 28 Japanese
sailors have landed at Tengehau, west
OF Cheef00, saying their vessel had
sunk as the result of an engagement
with Russian warships, which also
went down. No Russian were saved,
but 200 Japanese were rescued by
Chinese junks. This action is report
ed to have occurred between Port Ar
thur and Mao in Laothieshau chan
