The Populist candidate for President, the
picturesque WATSON, is a Georgian, and
therefore the Constitution OF Atlanta in that
State feels called on to demonstrate with
him for introducing into this canvass an
element Of political diversion which may
do great damage to Judge PARKER's cam
paign. Mr.. WATSON, however, Is distinc-
lively Populist and has been Populist
ever since the organization Of that party
at Cincinnati in 1891. He served as Popu-
list In the Fifty-second Congress from 1891
to 1893. was nominated for Vice-President
by the Populists in 1895 on the ticket with
BRYAN and has been editor Of q Populist
paper at Atlanta. He has never gone back
to the Democracy, but has remained a
Populist Of the -Middle-of- the-Road" va
rtety. 1t Is therefore natural enough that
he should be running now for President
on Populist ticket. II the Populists de-
sired to keep up their party organization
with reference to the future they could not
have done better than rally around the
interesting figure Of Tom WATSON.

force has been despatched thither from
Yinkow or Newchwang, with the purpose
OF surrounding the Russians.
We should know in the course of a
few days whether KuRopATKIN is to
meet with the fate Of IMAGINATION, or
like WELLINGTON in his Portuguese cam
paign, or like LEE after Antietam and
Gettysburg, he is to be rendered famous
by successful retreat. In the most
fortunate event, the Russian loss of
artillery and military stores must have
! been enormous.
Even if the greater part of the Russian
force should escape surrender it would
be mistake to describe the Japanese
campaign in Manchuria as tactical
success but strategic failure. The
Japanese could not reasonably be ex-
pected, with the force at their disposal.
to surround Gen. KURoPATKIN. Such
an achievement as that accomplished by
the Germans at Sedan is unparalleled
in modern warfare. Unparalleled, for
BAzAINE need not have capitulated at
Metz. The aim formulated by the Jap
anese General Staff was not to capture
Gen. KURoPATKIN's army--this they
never avowed hope of doing-but TO
drive him back TO Hardin 1t now seems
almost certain that this purpose will be
attained, and not improbable that the
Russians will fall back from Hardin
upon point west of Lake Baikal
That Port Arthur will not long hold
out may be taken for granted, not only
because the garrison will despair of re-
lief when KuRoPATKIN's retreat is made
known, but also because the besieging
force can then be immensely strength
ened. With the loss of that naval fort
ress and the approach Of the season
when the harbor at vladivostok will be |
ice locked, we may expect to see the |
project of despatching Russia's Baltic
fleet to Far Eastern waters abandoned
Russia having been beaten thoroughly |
on both SEA and land, and having lost
nearly everything for which she has
striven since she leased Port Arthur, her
victorious opponents can afford to await
without uneasiness the developments
of the coming year. Russia will enter
on the next campaign under much more
grievous disabilities than those by which
she was confronted in February, 1904.
II she could not hold her own seven
months ago, she will scarcely have
hope Of doing 30 when the Japanese

branch Of the Siberian Rail-
way, if they are not in possession of
the Vladivostok branch also. 1t is to
all appearances an impracticable task
which Russia has undertaken, but, of
course, she will profess an intention of
second campaign, if only
% supply the semblance Of basis for
securing treaty of peace on endurable
erms. What those terms are likely to be
nay conveniently be discussed when the
inal outcome Of the protracted fighting
n Manchuria shall be definitely known.

Opportunities for Dairym en-

Last year England imported $4,000
tons OF butter. The United States ex-
ported about 1000 tons. These facts
leave fair inference that England offers
an open market for more than fifty times
as much butter as we are in the habit
OF exporting. England's purchases Of
this article from foreign countries and
from her colonies amount to about $780,
100000 year. Our export sales Of it
approximate 81 ,50o, 900.
England purchased last year about
$4,000 tons of cheese. Our total ex-
ports were in the vicinity of 5000 tons,
worth about $2,250,000 Canada, whom
we are prone to regard as an economic
inferior, exported ten times as much as
we did. This leaves fair inference that
there is in England alone n possible
market for some No,OOO,ooo worth of
cheese every year.
In the United States there are some
100000 mich COWS Of an estimated
total value Of little more than $500 0OO,-
900. This circumstance justifies us in
regarding the United States as dairy
ing country. The vast herd appears to
be about equal to supply OF the home
demand for milk, butter and cheese.
But we have yet several million acres
of idle pasture lands easily capable of
supporting cattle enough to make uB at
least factor to be reckoned with in the
competition for the worlds demand for
butter and cheese. Importing coun-
tries now include our share of their
dairy supplies under the head OF mis-
cellaneous.
The foregoing remarks are submitted
for the thoughtful consideration of
farmers, graziers and dairymen.

The Persistent Fight in Manchuria


The battle which began on Aug. 81
with concerted attack by Gen. OKU
and Gen. NoDzU upon Liaoyang has al.
ready lasted upward Of a week, and has
therefore presented the most remark
able example Of persistent fighting in
modern times. A review of the opera
tions shows that in spite of the desper-
ate resistance offered by the Russians
and of the severe losses suffered by the
Japanese the latter have continued to
push their opponents northward with
the prospective result that, even if Gen.
KURoPATKIN succeeds in withdrawing
the larger part of his army, he will be
unable to make stand short of Hardin.
During the earliest stage of the memo
rable conflict the Russians seem to have
gained some tactical advantages, which
presently, however, were more than
counterbalanced by the strategic supe-
riority of the enemy's moves. The
combined attack upon Laoyang which
began on Aug. 80, Gen. OKU advancing
from the southeast and Gen. NoDzU
from the southwest, lasted about a day
and half and must be regarded as q
failure, so far as the immediate assail-
ants were concerned. 1t is true that
on the first day the Japanese infantry
succeeded more than once in reaching
the Russian trenches. but they wore re-
pulsed with heavy loss, and on the morn
ing of Aug. 81 the Russian infantry
assumed the offensive. But on the after
noon of the day last named came the
news that Gen. KURoKI was threaten
ing the railroad at Yentai, point north
Of the Taitse River, which itself runs
north Of Liaoyang. From that moment
the retirement of the Russian forces
posted south of Laoyang became inevi-
table, and it was obviously expedient
that the greater part of KURoPATKIN's
army should cross the river, strong
rear guard being left in the neighbour
hood of Laoyang. There seemed for
time reason to believe that this rear
guard, numbering, it is said, about q, 900
men, would be captured south of the
Taitse River, but on the night of Sept.
it was brought across in safety, though,
according to a rumor current in St. Peters,
burg, it was subsequently destroyed.
Meanwhile, on Sept ., strong Rus
sian force, forming the vanguard of
KURoPATKIN's retreating army, had
not only crossed the Taitse River and
reached Yentai, but had been pushed
eastward from that point to hold back
Gen. KURoKI, who, at the head of the
arst Japanese army, was endeavoring
to get possession of the railroad run
ming to AIukden and thus to cut off
KURoPATBIN's retreat. There was hot
but indecisive fighting during the day
and evening, On Sept. KURoKIs west
ward movement was prosecuted with
less vigor, until his forces had been
when he delivered a night
attack and was reported to have reached
a point within five miles of the railway.
According to the latest dispatches
received in London and st. Petersburg,
KuRoK1's army has since gained pos
session of the railroad and thus rendered
1t impracticable for KUROPATKIN to reach |
Mukden. II would still be possible for
him 10 escape by marching westward |
toward that part of Manchuria which /,
has remained under Chinese authority, |

which tend to lower the wage rate of
unskilled labor; but If they will go whore
they should, none Of them need try to

Our problem is to get these people to

Safe WrscksTs Fail

An attempt was made by un-
known parties last night to blow
open the safe belonging to the Cam
eron Lumber Co. The office was
entered through the side door.
When MI. Armstrong came down
this morning he found the door OPP
en- and on looking at the safe he
found that the knob Of the combin-
alton had been pried of and was
lying on the floor. There was a
substance on it that resembled nitro
elycerine Not knowing how much
Of the substance had been poured
into the lock, he did not attempt TO
open the safe, concluding il was
best 10 wait ,or the arrival Of an
expert
The parties were evidently tyros
in the art of safe breaking. Not
only did they abandon their de-
signs but they failed TO read no
tice on the safe which stated that
il contained nothing but books and
gave the correct key to the COM
bination.
