THE NAME OF THE WAR.

From the Philadelphia Press.
II suppose" said the Man who
Likes to Look mp Queer Things, that
the present war in the East will be
called the Russo japanese war. l
come TO that conclusion from dili-
gent perusal of the papers, thc-Associ-
ated Press dispatches and the talk Of
the man in the street. Nsw,Ust the
time of the Spanish American war
looked into this matter little, and
found out some curious condolences.
"In the first place, found that all
wars designated by single word con-
tanned in that word the name of the
conquered party. Thus the Trojan
war was won by the Greeks. the Punic
that is, Csrthsgenian wars ended in
the victory Of Rome and the so-called
Nspoleonic wars came to an end with
the overthrow of Napoleon. The In
dian war of 1871 resulted in Great
Britain's establishment of her Indian
empire; the Crimean war came to a
close with the defeat of the power
that governed the Crimea; we won
the Mexican war; at the end Of the
Schleswig- Holstein to the Austro-
Prussian combination, and the Boer
war was won by England
Now, turning to the hyphenated
wars, you'll find that the power ahead
Of the hyphen is invariably the loser.
The Austro- Prussian war was won by
the Prussians at the battle of sadowa
the Franco Prussian war ended at Sc
dan by the defeat of the French; the
Chino Japanese war found the Japs
ahead ct its CLOSE; the Greoo-Tufkish
war went to the Turks and the Span
ish- Americans to the Americans.
"Is there anything significant in
the fact that every one is referring to
the present war rs the Japan
ese war;" 1.iTI ia'

Caleb Powers is receiving many evil
dences of sympathy from Democrats
as well as Republicans, and the move
ment started in Chicago in his behalf
is doubtless very gratifying to him,
for it is a straw which shows which
way the wind blows. Few people if
any, believe he is guilty of the
crime for which he was convicted,
and no doubt what few do, or pro-
fess to,reslize that he has never had
a fair trial. He has never asked
anything more of any one than a
fair trial, and the state OF Kentucky
owes it to herself to give him one.

DEMAND FOR
American Dairymen Are BeEInRIns
TO Learn That Women Are
Best Mixers.

A big dairy farmer was talking about
q Polish farm hand who had been in this
country only three months, and had
proved himself to be far above the aver
age laborer at nearly every kind Of farm
work on the farm. 81 never saw a better
man in the field" he said, than Stanis-
laus. I hear he has done a mans work
on a farm since he was IL years old, but
be has never MIXED a cow" The New
York Sun gives the farmers views IN
regard to the importance of milking:
Elm his country milking Is work for
the women to do. If a Polish peasant
man is seen milking he is asked If he has
forgotten to put on his petticoat. Stan
islaus says he is perfectly willing to
learn, but l don't know that he will make
a good mixer. willing as he is.
MANY American farmers seem to
think that almost anybody can milk, but
our dairymen are beginning to learn bet
ter. A mixer must be clean and he must
be quiet and gentle. An expert mixer
must have one other very important
qualification, he must be quick. The
quicker the milking. the richer the milk.
II the work is done well and completely.
II am inclined to think that it might
be better for our American dairy inter
ests II milking were a part Of women'S
work, as It Is in many European coun.
tries. The dairymen Of England are do
ing everything they can to perpetuatC
the custom Of employing women instead
Of men as mixers, and to maintain the
efficiency Of the milkmaids.
I'VE never hear Of a dairy show IN
England nowadays without its popular
milking contest, in which the milkmaids
contest with one another. These con.
tests are the talk Of the British dairy
districts, and are proving to be very use.
ful. I shall not be surprised II, in tn
course Of the next ten years, the milk,
maids Of America become very mucl
more numerous. Perhaps a lot OF prize,
winning maids Of England should b
imported to arouset the emulation ofthei
American sisters"

Books AND SELF GOVERNMENT

Carl SchnrZ, in the current is
sue OF McClure's says the Birm-
iUgham News, holds that the
question must be decided in this
country whether the negro shall
take his place in as a serf along
side his mule or assume the full
duties and responsibilities Of citi.
zenship. Carl Schurz is a man Of
learDigg. He studies and observes.
Wuat ne says is, therefore, worthy
OF cOnsiderati on. There are many
negroes in the South who are ex-
ercising the full flutes Of citizen
ship. When several of the South
ern states adopt the new ranchise
regulations by which the illiterate
and vicious negro vote was de-
barred, it was done for a wise
purpose, as may readily be seen
when whole districts of negroes
vote in a body against the interest
OF the very people who largely
support them.
But, as the Florida Times. Union
says, the matter Of books and
book learning did not decide the
question. Blood and ancestral
training CONT more than books.
