IAPAM's NAVAL OFFICERS.
The Rigorous Training to Which They
Are Subjected.
London Daily Graphic.

London Daily Graphic.
Lieutenant Commander K. Sato, of the
Imperial Japanese Navy, in lecture be-
fore the Royal United Service Institution,
said: "In the education of naval cadets,
we may note that besides mathematics,
physics and chemistry and drawing, the
language which the cadets learn in addl'
ton to their own. is English. During
their three years course they give twenty
eight hours week to study, of which in
the earlier years eight are given to gun
nerv and seamanship, and in the later
ones all increasing number of hours to
gunnery, seamansbip, torpedo, navigation
and engineering work. They learn wrest-
ling, too, and the art of self defense.
"When the cadet becomes midshlp'
man be undergoes education in special
training ships, and it is rather curious
that the three ships set apart for these
studies we're the heaviest cruisers (42OO
tons) which Japan had in the China
Japanese war-the Matsushima, the ltsu'
kushima, and the HashidOte. When this
course ia completed, the midshipman con-
tinues his education in the ships of the
standing feet. When midshipman rise
to the rank of sub lieutenant and lieuten
ant his education is far from finished,
Captains have to superintend the instruc-
ton of officers under them, to encourage
them and to make every effJrt to educate
them in the duties of their profession.
That is the practical side.
"There is q theoretical side of their edu
cation, and this constitutes the formation
of every officer so far as possible into an
intelligence officer, the main idea Of the
essays they are INVITED to write aui the
lectures they must attend being the 'uIti'
walton of what is very properly called
shop and, a. such, justly admired in
japanese naval circles. There follow the
courses of instruction in the Higher \ ,val
College at Toxic, and there are four differ
ent conrses-(a) for selected lieutenants
to be educated in higher military matters
so as to enable them to fulfil impOrtan
positions This is analogous to naval
staff, college education and includes as
subjects strategy, tactics, naval history,
fertilization, legal, military admnI4tra-
ton, gunnery, torpedo, navigation, engi-
neering and shipbullding COURSES. An
other course ~ gives higher education in
gunnery, torpedo or navigation dnties.
The course (c) is provided for captains,
commanders aud senior l!eutenants, who
may take up the further study OF any
specialized branch Of their profession, and
lastly, there IS The course (d), which is
broadly defined a. a higher course of naval
strategy or tactics

Lord Stanley a MussuIman.

The burial of Lord Stanley of Alderley
as Mussulman came as a surprise TO
many people. although his conversion TO
Islam hal been known for years to the
leading Moslems of England, says the
London Express.
at WAS in 1892 that fret met Lord
Stanley" said the Sheid-ul Islam, Of the
British Isels, who is the head Of Moham
edanism in this country, to an Express
representative recently. That was ut the
Turkish embassy. was not introduced
to him, aud he did not tell me, until We
had been talking together for an hour,
who be was. Then he said that he had
become Mussulman, and that when the
time came he would declare himself as
such from his seat in the house of lords.
"He never did so. Two or three tunes
he came in to join in our Friday prayers
at the mosque in Liverpool, but by bis
own wish his identity was not made known
to the other worshipers, and his contribu'
ton to the funds was acknowledged under
his Islamic name, Abdur-Rahman, SER
want of the MerCiful."
The banner of the prophet waves in
England, and over 200 British.born con-
verls follow 1t. The Shek.ul. Islam is a
Liverpool solicitor of Manx descent, who
began life as a Wesleyan. Five times
day from the balcony of the mosque in the
crowded part Of Liverpool the muezzin
raises his voice, calling the faithful to their
prayers. This muezzin used to be stoned
at first, but with familiarity the neighbor'
hood has become tolerant, and is satisfied
with an occasional shout Of contempt.

lifting of Japanese Maids.
Mail.

London Mail
A Japanese woman when abandoned by
her lover takes peculiar and picturesque
revenge.
When she no longer has any doubt as to
biz faithlessness, she gets up in the middle
OF the night and puts on a pleasing dress
and wooden sandals. Attached TO her
headdress che carries three lighted candles,
and suspended to her neck hangs a small
mirror.
She takes in her left hand small straw
effigy of the faithless one, and in her right
a hammer and nails.
Walking gravely to the sanctuary che
selects one of the sacred trees and nails
the efigy securely to the trunk. She then
prays for the death. of the traitor, vowing
that if her wish Is granted che will take
out the nails which trouble her god, since
they are fastened to a sacred tree. Night
after night she comes to the tree, adding
one or two nails, and repeating her
persuaded that the god will not
hesitate to sacrifice the man to save the
tree.

CONSISTENCY OR SENSE.

One of our Valley contemporaries is a
stickler for consistency. Moreover it has
little patience with Democrats who want
to cut the party loose from body of
death. 1t says:
"The editor Of The Lynchburg News
makes us a little weary when lie says the
Democrats will have real Democratic
platform this year Why, bless your soul,
he helped 10 make the identical platform
be is now denouncing. Consistency, thou
art jewel STILL"
Carlisle is said to have said something
about consistency being the last refuge of
a fool. If he didn't say it he might have
said it, and the editor of The Lynchburg
News hopes he is not dolt enough to advo'
cate thing in 1904 for no better reason
than that he tried to defend the same
thing in 1896. AS a matter of fact, the
Democratic platform of 1896 contained
some declarations relating to experimental
party policies. What was fundamental is
as sound today as ever, but what seemed
good party policy eight years ago would,
in our belief, be downright folly now;
hence this paper wants TO see the Demo
cratic party deal with exigent issues and
cast its rubbish in the heap'pile. This
may not be consistency of the sort that the
old Scotch philosopher execrated, but 1t is
sense.-Lynchburg News.
That Valley contemporary ought 10
know that the editor of the News and bis
party have shown by their records that
they are more in love nth experimental
policies than with fundamental principles
and consistency. In recent years they
haye not been hunting for fundamental is
sues but for such experimental issues as
might be made useful in dissatisfying and
misleading the people, with the hope that
Democracy might profit thereby. Who

pronounced great principle and para
mount issue than the Virginia Democrats
For many years prior to the making of the
Chicago platform Senator Daniel was one
of the most ardent advocates and leaders
of the Fres Silver idea. His Democratic
constituency was thoroughly lndoctriDated
with it; hence Mr.. Glass, no doubt, was
ready and anxious to assist in placing the
dogma as a sterling principle in the ma
tional platform of his party.
Now, the Lynchburg News, speaking for
Mr.. Glass, says the Chicago platform was
nothing more than experimental, "a body
of death" composed of "exlgent issues"
and only rubbish to be thrown upon the
heap.pile.
After making these confessions of the
total unsoundness of the Democratic plat
forms of 1896 and 1900, consistent adj
herence to the issues written therein
would be practical demonstration of Car.
isles saying that consistency is the last
refuge of the fool. To escape the charge
of being fool, however, the Democracy !

Democratic platform made at Norfolk,
and the convention seated as member
one who had secured the returns by fraud,
SO evidenced by the report Of the com
mittee in the contested case of Treat vs.
Gregory. That liz not all. 1t proclaimed
constitution it was solemnly pledged to
submit to the people for ratification. 1t
made a suffrage law which offered pre-,
MUM to taxpayers to become deliDqrents
that they might thereby be deprived of
their votes, and 1t appointed registrars to
perform the most important judicial func
tons without requring'them them to take
al oath. This last crime was committed
Intentionally by the honorable men who
made the constitution for Virginia. Their
purposes were too plain for any sane man
to doubt them. The aim Of the conven-
ton was to make Democratic rule in Nlr-
ginia perpetual even at the expense OF
honest politics.
The two Democratic Legislatures that
have met since the new Constitution was
put in force have adhered rigidly TO the
policy of shaping legislation so as to make
Democratic rule permanent, if possible.
They refused to amend the election laws
so as to permit the Republicans to select
their men who are to act as judges by the
appointment of the various electoral
boards in the State. And they made no
changes in the election laws, except to pass
so-called pure elections bill, which the
Democrats were the fret to violate and
which has been denounced by prominent
men in the party as the impure Banks
dale election law.
AS we have repeatedly stated before in
these columns, the men who control the
election machinery in this State have been
too long trained IN a school of fraud, too
long protected by partisan courts in their
corrupt practices, and too Loyalty defended
by the press upon the plea of necessity to
cast aside their evil habits by their own
will or at the command of the honest men
of their party. 1t has been demonstrated
that in those sections of the State where
the Republicans are in an insignificant mi
nority and no necessity exists for robbing
them the Democrats will cheat each other.
Witness what occurred in Democratic pr.
maries last year in Henrico county, Nor
folk city and other places. 1t is also plain
that the Democratic machine will still try
to cheat the Republicans in those counties
and districts where the latter are in ma
jolity. In proof of this we cite our con-
temporaries to the frauds and attempted
frauds in many counties of the Niuth Dis
trict at the last Congressional election and
to the frauds in several of the counties of
this district at the legislative election last
Fall
The News Leader may feel assured that
a reputable, aggressive Republican minor
ity in Virginia will not go Brighten the De-
mocracy as to make 1t honest, but will
scare it into the adoption and using Of the
ample ways and means furnished by con-
siitutional and legislative enactments for
preventing a reputable Republican mi
nority becoming an honest, victorious
majority.

THE REPUBLICS BACKBONE.

The Tazewell Republican reproduces
some remarks of ours on the subject of
Democracy, in which we spoke of the
many discordant elements constituting the
Democratic party, and adds:
"Granted that the national Democracy
is constituted as set forth by our Rich
mond contemporary, can there be any
doubt of its inability and unftness to con-
duct and control the affairs of this great
republic? Can there be any intelligent
purpose or honest action with or by such
an unorganized, discordant mass Of hui
manity? What better is it when gathered
together than wild and dangerous
mob?"
Call it what you will, the Democratic
party is the backbone of the republic, and
whenever it comes to pass that the people
composing that organic alton are not capa'
BILE Of self.gOvernment, the republic will
90 to pieces. Richmond Times-Dspatch.
According to history, Of which many
people now living have actual personal
knowledge, the writer among them, this
republic during the past forty-three years
has been managed by the Republican par
ty, with the exception of four years. For
those four years the Democrats had full
control of the executive and legislative
branches of the government; and the way
things went to pieces then is indelibly
written upon the pages Of history and in
the minds of the people who suffered so
much during that period of Democratic
rule.
During the past forty.three years the
chief aim of the Republican party has
been to strengthen and perpetuate the re-
public; and the first four years of Repub'
lican administration were devoted 10 gu
preme effort to prevent Democracy from
tearing the republic to pieces The Times
Dispatch, in season and out of season, is
found defending the Democracy for it's
unwise endeavor to destroy the republic;
and 1t has made the preservation of the
Union one of its chief complaints against
the Republican party.
Democracy as it was and is may be
made useful in preserving our government,
but not as the backbone Of the republic.
1t can only be useful as an object lesson to
show how incapable and dangerous polit'
ica party will prove that is composed of
an unorganized, dIscordant mass of hui
manity, such as the Tunes Dispatch has
declared its party to be-.
Fortunately for Tie country the Demo
cratic party is not the backbone of the re-
public If it had been, self.goyernment
and the republic would long since have
gone to pieces.
If the Democratic party is TO continue
in existence the sooner it becomes fixed as
the csudal attachment to the body polite
the better it will he for the country.
