HOW 10 GET REBORN.

THERE is a story IN the November
i Century that Is at the same time
entertaining and instructive. 1t ought
to be read in the Legislature and in
Council just after prayer. II is the
story Of a reform mayor whose election
was surprise to everybody, particu-
lurly to himself
But having been elected and sworn
in he concluded that there is but one
thing to do-euforce the law. lie noti-
ncs the heads Of departments OF his
Intention. and TO the surprise OF every
one he insists ON his policy being car
rled out IN every particular. Dead
laws, live laws, foolish laws and wise
laws are brought out and made to APP
ply under all circumstances
lie IS told that he is breaking ur
business, that many OF these laws wer,
never intended to be enforced; but hc
answers that legislatures have no rgh
to unload all responsibility on Tho
executive. and that IL they don't like
the present laws the best way is &c
revise the municipal code; and thai
when It is revised he will enforce that
That logic is inexorable. and there
ought to be more Of this spirit. Meas
ures are forced through legislature,
and councils that those who support
them know should not be enacted into
law. II is expected that those respon-
slble viii virtually repeal certain OF
these by enforcement. For in
stance, there are laws and ordinances
relating to this city, almost without
number. Some are good some bad
some have been declared unconstitu.
tional some only partly so. Some by
general consent are ignored. and Others
are enforced only In part or occasions
ally Who can make anything out oi
this hodge podge?
We haven't a word OF criticism fol
our mayor; he has shown honesty anC
nerve, but we believe that he would dc
this city a service IL he would emplo,
an Industrious lawyer to nose ou
every statute or ordinance that Is ig-
nored and rigldly enforce f.. The mex

a new charter and Council would be

EDITORIAL OPINION
Japan and Russia,

From the Worlds Work
Although the population OF Russia IS
nearly three and a half times. as great
as the population Of Japan. and it's area
nearly six times as great the Japanese
have million more pupils in their schools
than the Russians. They publish moro
periodicals and books Although Russia
has nearly nine times as many miles Of
railroad, the Japanese roads carry more
passengers, though less freight. They
send half as many again letters by post
as the Russians send With only about
onefourth as many miles OF telegraph
wires, they send nearly as many mes
sages. Their trade per capita is greater
than the Russians both IN imports and in
exports. although the total trade of the
Russians OF course. is very much greater
Tho apparent financial and military
strength of the Russians is incomparnbly
the greater Yet so choaply does the
Japanese soldier live that Japan may do
more with little money than Russia with
more.

When the Russian Squadron came
down through the North Sea az night
somebody discovered torpedo boats
Ia the distance. Then the battle
ships cut loose, and shots We're ex-
changed between everything carrying
a gun. The fleet was scattered. and
the ships fired az each other under
am Impression that the enemy was
out in force. The English trawlers
were i'm the centre Of the fire and
were helpless. Now il seems that
the dreaded torpedo boats were a
part Of the Russian fleet, and that in
the scrimmage the Russian ships
fired on each other. This accounts
for damaged torpedo boats i'm the

A GREAT REPUBLICAN WAVE.

THE last week Of the campaign
Il opens with the practical assurance
OF the election Of Roosevelt and Fair
banks. There has never been much
doubt about 81. but now the grain OF
doubt has merged into the assurance OF
overwhelming Republican success.
There is no better ante-election au-
thority on such matters than the New
York Herald It's estimates are made
up from unprejudiced sources from
every state in the Union, and the esti-
mate is given as a matter OF news, ana
not with a purpose Of influencing the
election. But If It has any bias II is
favorable to Parker, since the Herald
IN this campaign has shown leanlngs
IN that direction.
The Herald's forecast on the cleo
toral vote is as follows: For Roosevelt
257i for Parker l5s doubtful but prob
ably for Roosevelt Is; doubtful but
probably for Parker. AZ.
II is estimate is correct the Re-
publicans win. giving Parker all the
states that arc classed as doubtful
And among the doubtful as given by
this authority. are Colorado, Delaware,
Montana, Nevudo, New York and West
Virginia II Is very improbable that
the Democrats VIII carry an these, par-
tcularly Delaware and New York. The
electoral vote Of Delaware has during
the whole campaign been regarded as
certainly Republican, and there is no
apparent reason for changing that esti-
mate; while the betting in New York
IS Indicative of Republican success
there. But Il seems safe 10 assume
that wlh alle reosombt allowances,
Roosevelt win be elected by as decisive
vote as that which was cast for Me-
kinley.

on the Republican state ticket there
is little doubt Of success providing any
thing like the fun party strength is
polled. on the face Of the registration
the Republicans should win with sew
eral thousand 70 spare. There have
been hundreds and perhaps thousands,
who have been dissatisfied with the
methods employed TO secure a common
ticket; they have protested like gem
tlemen and would again protest under
like circumstances. but nearly all OF
them viii support the ticket.
And here are certain facts which
they cannot ignore: The Republican
candidates are personally clean men,
and their records as men Of affairs cam
not be used to their disadvantage. It
is also true. that while the compromise
was not. and could not be. TO the liking
Of all and while many viii stnl be-
lieve that it was not the best solu-
tion, yet all viii admit that some COM
promise was imperative II the Repub-
licans desire success. II is now a con-
dition. not a theory, which confronts
u.s. and the one stubborn fact that
confronts us is that we must support
the joint ticket or prepare for at least
four years Of Democratic rule-possibly
for a quarter Of a century Of Demo-
cratic dominance.
The Evening journal proposes IN the
future as in the past to criticlse the
acts Of the Republican party when it's
acts invite criticism. We have pre-
sented our objections to many things
which have been done. But now the
election confronts us. and i'm our opin-
ion Delaware would take backward
step to 60 again under Democratic COM
troll We can an imagine what that
would mean. Mr.. Pennewin as far al
we can learn is a clean. honorable gen.
tloman, but few men. certainly no gov,
ernor Of this state. can rise highe
than his party. When we remembe
the influences back Of his nomination
we cannot refuse to believe that the ad
mlnlstration Of Mr.. Pennewill woul,
be stumbling block in the path o
progress in our State.
