Coming to our own country, many
of the choicest bits Of repartee in our
history are to be found In the field Of
politics. Every schoolboy is familiar
with the saying Of Benjamin Franklin,
as the group Of anxious faced, yet
loyal men stood around to sign the
immortal Declaration Of Independence:
"Now we must all hang together, or
we'll all hang separately" But the
rejoinder of the signer, Benjamin Har-
rison, to the above witticism Is not
so we'll known. Harrison, a portly
man, looking down over his ample
proportions, replied: "Yes, but when

all that hell needs" was the uncom-
promising answer.
Senator Call, Of Florida, once spoke
in the chamber until all but the pre-
siding officer had departed. The vice

RUSSIA PAYS TWO JAPANESE.
Gives $3.50 Pensions For Their Ser.
vices to Government.

vices to Government.
For twelve years, two Japanese be-
longing to a very humble class OF
workers, have been drawing a pension
from the Russian exchequer, says Lon
don Answers. The payment has been
SUSPENDED on account Of the actual
state Of war between Russia and jap
an, but will certainly be resumed when
peace Is proclaimed, when also the ac-
cumulated arrears will be handed over.
Twelve years ago these men, Kitagai-
chi and Mukobata, were jinriksha men,
making their living by running be-
tween the shafts Of those light-wheel-
ed chairs which are the hansoms OF
Japanese cities. In May, 1892, the
present czar, then heir to the Russian
crown, was making a tour OF Japan,
and the two men were selected to pull
his imperial highness through the
streets the day he visited the town and
temples of Otsu, near Kioto. Muko-
bata and Kitagichi relieved each other
in running between the shafts OF his
carriage.
Elaborate precautions had been TAX
en- to protect the imperial guest OF
Japan during his tour, but at Otsu he
had a narrow escape Of his life.
Among the police on duty was one
Eanzo Tsuda, a fanatic hater OF the
foreigner, perhaps a little insane on
| this point. 1t was a danger against
which no ordinary precautions could
avail. Tsuda suddenly drew his short
sword and rushed at the prince. He
had wounded him slightly and Woulo
have killed him but for the two jim
riksha men, one Of them grappled with
the assassin, while the other, by
swift movement, turned the little car
riage aside.
In grateful recognition OF their ser
vices the Russian government awarded
yearly pension Of 1000 yen (about
eIO0) to the two men. 1t was paid
regularly to them through the Japa-
nese local authorities. Japan Is
country where wages and prices are
both much lower than in Europe. For
Japanese workman a yen goes as far
as or farther than a half-soVerelgn
goes with the man Of the same class
| in England. So Kitaga and Mukobata
found themselves suddenly compara-
lively rich and promptly retired.
They are still living, but the con-
trast between the present position OF
the two old comrades Is one more
proof that money counts for less than
character as an element Of success
full life. Kitagichi has managed to live
comfortably in retirement on about
200 yen per annum, banking the re-
mainder with the pension office, so
that he is now worth 10000 yen,
small fortune. He tells his neighDors
that he does not complain Of his pen.
sion being stopped, for war Is war.
and he has enough to live on in invest
ments. He has even sent 500 yen as
his contribution to the war fund. His
comrade Mukobata has always been
poor man. He has spent his money as
quickly as he received 1t.

pino," said a young Philadelphian
whose term Of service in the army mas
expired and who is glad to get back
home, "is a curious mixture OF the
human being and the reptile. l THINK
however, that the reptile predoml-

lessly on his stomach, just as a snake
can, and most of the human attribu-
utes are lacking in his makeup. But
the thing that impressed me most was
the snakelike hiss that he invariably
emits before he strikes. This seems
to be just as instructive with him as
it is with a snake. There Is sharp
indrawn breath that comes as warn

to drop fiat or throw up an arm II the

restricted to the Filipinos. I am told
that it Is characteristic Of all Orient

A REMARKABLE GUN.-The inventor
Of the new American gun is man
named ]. Hamilton Brown, though the
work Of constructing this particular
six-inch experimental piece is in
charge Of Colonel John M. ingalls,, re-
tired U. s. A., an artillerist of high
standing and reputation. Despite the
incredulity Of contemporary gun-build-
ers, Colonel Ingalls, and the officers
with him assert that this six-inch gun
will throw thirty miles a projectiie
weighing 100 pounds. which will pierce
a six-inch steel target. A ten-inch
gun of this construction, with a pow
der chamber Of 14,259 cubic inches and
using $50 pounds Of sniokeless powder,
would hurl a 600-pound projectile a
distance Of So miles. Increasing this
ratio, a sixteen-inch gun would have
an extreme range Of more than 100
miles, and equipped with such coast
defense rifles, England and France
could shell each other across the chan
mel.

RUSSIA ON DEFENSIVE.

From the dispatches received mp to
GATE the Oriental war appears to have
reached the point where the land forces
of Russia and Japan are about to meet
for the initial struggle of the cam"
raign. Japan controls the sea and is
hurrying troops to the Yalu for the
attack upon Port Arthur and the south
ern line of the Russian defence. Rus
sia's naval force in the East Is hunt
ing cover except for attacks upon such
isolated vessels of the japanese trans
port and merchant feet as it may be
able to cut out.

troops eastward and Japan's oppOrtun-
ity on land as on the sea is In striking

rive. Korea appears to have been de-
serted as a fighting ground II IL was

From all indications Japan is meeting

battle at Port Arthur seems not as
destructive to the Russian squadron

HEARST'S ASPIRATIONS.

William r. Hearst's candidacy for
the Presidency Is interesting because
Hearst is a strong individuality among
seventy millions of people and he is
approaching his high ambition by a
route never before attempted. He
has first built great newspapers. He
has thereby opened greater number
OF batteries upon himself than any
professional or dark.horse candidate
can. He Is seeking the nomination by
an open-handed course lighted by news.
paper competition when all of his pred.
ecessors and contemporaries, while
ready enough to use the newspapers,
struggle to the goal of their aspira.
tons by political intrigues and curry.
ing favor with Tom, Dick, and some.
times the devil.
Some people say that Hearst Is a
fool. rich mans sou, purchaser OF
other mems ideas for use as his own.
Various other pleasantries are offered
equal to what some of the Hearst pa.
pers have said of other men. He has
his shortcomings. but his most bitter
critic must admit there Is much in the
man besides lack of wit. He was
Calleu 1901 Wnen ne went INTO tHe
New York field and presumed to con.
duct newspaper in the face OF the
fierce and relentless competition any
publisher must meet. Now he is call
ed fool for having succeeded. Some.
how the criticism does not tally. and
Hearst papers, though criticised and
reviled. are close to setting the pace at
the present time.
This may be the work OF a fool but
there must be a good share OF the man
lurking around. Other wealthy young
men and old men have gone into the
New York newspaper field and, after a
comet-like career, disappeared. Grant
ed that Hearst buys all the ability
found in the development OF his news
paper enterprises, he knows how to
buy.
Hearst Is rich mans son who pre-
sumes to maintain that wealth should
have limitation Of power. This is
heresy, of course. The young Wander.
bits, Paul Dana who prefers tours In
Europe to a struggle to keep up with
his fathers reputation, and numerous
other rich mems sons have never dis
played such a bump Of thoughtful au'
dacity. From rich mans standpoint
he has gone wrong. He has done
something, and not allowed himself
to be carried to the skies on fiowery
beds OF ease.-'as he might have done,
ana all rules OF the aristocracy OF
wealth prescribe he should do.
Another noticeable characteristic OF
this mans career is the Intense loyalty
TO him OF the workers with which ne
surrounds himself In his enterprises.
