LORD cURzoN AND THEFT.

LORD CURzON AND THIBET.
 It is impossible to judge of or even to deal with the great Thibetan ques- tion that is now being reopened by Lord Curzon, who is skilfully insisting on the old and, indeed forfeited Six kim treaty, without being prepared to treat all the public information and of-f ficial measures on the subject as mere trickery and not as the actual basis or development of policy. And this simple statement may exempt me from discussing the innumerable common ts
 very able, very European and, unfortun- ately, very useless-that have been evoked by the strange, very Asiatie and very important Thibetan puzzle
 Lord Curzon-I venture to say it without any ironical intention-is the most Asiatic gentleman who has ever been irltrusted with the government of |, England's Asiatic Empire He has the courage deliberately to oppose the nor- al tendencies which reign in these 1 times in Europe, and to employ against the awful expansion of Russian iff1u- ence throughout Asia the very means that have secured to Russia her brill- fant successes. He is putting forward polictical designs the publication Of (which can do no harm in order to have
 free hand with respect to enterprises i that can only succeed in perfect secre- cy. In Asia the fait acconpii is the
 sole diplomatic weapon of any value, and all the refnements of Oriental method consist merely. in the art of
 bringing about faits accomplis without giving the adversary any opportunity of retaliation. Alexander Ular, in The Contemporary.

Delivered Before the Cong--settnnni
 Ci,pb at Dnvenuort cfaurch.

Delivered Before the Cong-.setlnnni Club at Davenport church. The ladies of the Davenport church entertained one hundred and ninety
 members of the Congregational club at supper last evening. The tables were beautiful with flowers, fruits, salads, meats. cakes. coffee and ices. The Di- vine blessing was invoked. At the guest table were seated William Downes and wife, Dr. Cadman, Rev. George F. Prem tiss and wife, Dr. Dewitt of Branford, Rev. MT. and Mrs. Clark of East Haven, MT. Blakeslee, Rev. MT. Bigelow, Mir. and Mrs. Bishop of Guilford, MT. Flint
 and others.
 President Mrs. c. F. Burgess and A. G. Shell assisted by the ladies of the so- ciety were hostesses of the evening. The evening session opened with mu-
 sic and prayer by Rev. MT. Blakeslee of Boston. The secretary then read the
 minutes, which were approved. Elec- tion and nominations for new members followed. The secretary spoke of the ne- cessity of a revision of the constitution, saying he was constantly being inquired of regarding such and such actions if i they were according to the constitution. He made a motion that the club em- power the executive committee to pre- sent such revised constitution at the
 next annual meeting. The next meet 1 ing of the club will be at Dwight Place

 nominations. Why should these barriers

 accentuated. A debate followed as te

THE SECESSION OF PANAMA.

The construction of waterway across Central America is a matter not only of international commercial im- portance, but also one which promised to be of permanent advantage to Co., lombia. Of course, if the inhabitants of the Isthmus of Panama objected to any foreign power having even lease hold tenure in their territory, the re- jection of the contract would have been justihable But the people of Panama did not object. On the con- trary, they desired the arrangement most ardently. gA

English speaking State, England, America and Australia. could bring to bear upon 1t.
 But if we substitute Russia for Japan the Yellow Peril assumes a totally diff ferent aspect. Russia is not an island State. She is a vast land empire from the Baltic to the Pacific. She has few vulnerable points, and once she is se- cure in Manchuria there will be few CT still open to attack. Naval reserves will not bring her to her knees. when her land communications across Siberia have been perfected. She will be able to deride the terrors of a blockade. These may be serious matters for all her neighbors, but for British interests in Asia, commercial as well as politi- |cal. they must signify heavy and perhaps a deadly blow. While we can afford to look on the development of the so-called Yellow Peril under Jap
 anese auspices with calnness, and even to encourage it's progress with clear Preservation as to our sphere in the Yangtse Valley. no such tolerance can be safely extended to the realization of Russia's schemes for obtaining the CUllFUle OI tuS uSSlllteS Ol SHllld. Ilci success would mean the creation of ! that formidable militant, power that | is described in such impressive lan- guage as threatening Europe with a return to the days of the "scourges of
 God" But whereas the peril under the
 direction of the Japanese would never
 be more than phantom for any State except Russia. it might become in the
 hands of Russia a menace to the peace of the world, and the means of over
 throwing the British Empire in Asia and of laying the whole fabric of Brit
 ish commercial prosperity level with l the ground.-The Nineteenth Century.

As it was, the damage amounted to about $15, and the fire was extinguished by the patrolman with the aid of only few passersby and without calling the fire department. The house is occupied by Albert Jansen, and at the time the fire started in some lace window cur tains. Mrs Jansen was alone in the house. The cause of the fire is un- known.

We are glad to know that our enter.
prising little village has gained so wide
name through the columns of the De-
catur Republican; but we are sadly dis
appointed In our correspondent. He
must have forgotten part of the history
of the place, or else he was sleepy and
could not give our pretty little village
its just dues.
He spoke of the village Barber, but
forgot to add that he has retired from
the trade, and purchased a quarter Sec
ton of good land and has built an ele-
CANT home on the corner. AS Barber
his name became so widely known that,
since, he has easily captured both town
and county Offices, without any effort
on his part.
The Baker, just to be in style with the
Barber, purchased fine little farm on
the bank of the lake, and with the pro-
ceeds of his many years at his trade now
deals IN English pheasants. Anyone
wishing to buy will do we'll to call on
the Baker for he has fine yardful of
the beautiful birds.
He never mentioned our carpenters and
joiners, whose skill as architects is well
known to all for miles around. They
never waste material
How queer he never mentioned our
chemist, who compounds so many COM
plications, and who makes a speciality of
wintergreen and peppermint essences.
Twas owing to his use of the oil in his
compounds alone that caused the great
advance in the price of that commodity.
How could he have forgotten the vii
lage school, so beautifully located on
sand-burr hill? We make special note
of this hill, it being the very height from
which so many have risen quickly into
prominence.
1t would also be well to state that the
sole manager of the village store has
been compelled to shorten the hours for
doing business, as it has become an inn
possibility to keep goods on hand for
both day and evening business; so, unles
we succeed in getting an electric road.
1t will be impossible to keep open later
than q o'clock-after the holidays.
We, as members of the village board
and reporters for the east side, being
much interested in the we'll doing of
our village, have felt it resting upon US
to explain, or rather, conclude the brief
and defective synopsis given in last
weeks issue OF the Republican.
Signed, VILLAGE Board.
