THE PENDING NAVAL BATTLE.

There is much speculation in Army
and Naval circles as to what will be
the conduct of the Japanese as
the Baltic Fleet draws nearer and
nearer to th cir shores. VIII the Jap
anese go out a long way from home to
III Get them and give battle, or will they
remain near their own shores and let
the Russian approach. 1t can be pref
ty well coDjectured that the Jap will
do the right thing, but it would hardly
seem reasonable that he would GO a
long way from his base to meet an en-
envy who every day was drawing fur
tber and further away from his own
base and from his essential coal sup
ply. When the Russian reaches the
shores Of Formosa which is the nearest
Japaneses territory, he has no port he
can enter for coal, he has no safe har-
Dor. Should he be allowed 10 go into
Port Arthur the fleet would be sub
jected to the same attack which des-
troyed the fleet already there. When
the Russian Admiral has found the
Japanese fleet it is more than likely the
Japs will not allow battle, because every
day lessons the power of the Russian
by exhausting bis coal supply. A fleet
cannot be coaled in the presence of an
enemy, especially one so formidable as
the japanese. New golfers cannot be
sent for and brought in the face of so
vigilant foe. II the Russian finds
himself out of coal be must go into a
port and dismantel or blow up his ship,
or suffer it to be destroyed in its help
less condition. The Japs are at home,
the Russians are in an unfrlendly
quarter without an harbor, without
coal, without friends. The Jap can
starve fleet as easily as he can starve
fortress, and when the Russian il
out of coal he Is helpless, indeed he ls
lost. 1t will be recalled that the laps
lost great many men in their assault
and capture of 203 meter hill. They
took it. however, and the result was
that from that position they destroyed
the fleet in Port Arthur harbor with
out endangering single war ship OF
theirs. This was strategy. Othel
strategy will follow and when the Gar
went down and kissed the officers OF
his fleet good bye, he really kissed them
good bye, because his ships have
sailed never to return.

No sooner were the elections of 1896
and 1900 over than we announced that
it would be many years before any such
a number of votes would be cast again.
The population ought to have increas-
ed largely since 1896, and of course the
number of voters, but not so. There
were nearly q million less votes cast
this fall than in 1896 Why? Not be-
cause there are any less votes that
might have been cast than were really
cast in 1896 or 1900, but because in or
der to defeat MIR. Bryan, the votes in
many States were so padded that the
numbers under any decently fair cleo
tion cannot and will not be reached in
a long time. let we were told that
Mr.. Bryan was such menace to pub
lie safety that people went to the polls
who had never gone before, that pub
lie sentiment was so opposed to him
that virtue felt herself assailed, and
her Indignation arose to a height never
before known, and this accounted for
the large vote cast We have listened
to these and other similar lies for eight
years in the effort of those who had
control to deceive the people. Now the
people see that the Republicans stole
the election in 1896, just as they stole
the one of 1875. They see that elections
are grow ng to be farce and N ock-
cry, and when that is the case we are
only little way from some other
modes of oppression. and close to the
danger line of popular government.
Such work leads to monarchy almost
before the people know of their serf-
dom. We have had lot of just such
theft, and it will destroy us if not
stopped.

How BRYAN Was Defeated by the Use Of
S5,OOO,OOO.

In the last instalment of ''FrenZied
Finance published in Eyerybody's
Magazine, Thomas w. Lawson makes
sens ational charges.
1t was this story that H. H. Rogers
and the Standard Oil interests tried
to suppress by warning news agency
not to circulate it. The agency was
Unidentified and the magazine was
sold as usual.
Mr.. Lawson makes the direct accu-
sation that H. II. Rogers raised a fund
!, of $1,000 900, which was given to Mar
Gus A. Hanna ia 1896 for Republican
campaign expenses and thus defeated
Bryan.
He strongly lntimates that when j..
Edward Addicks believed he had been
ruined by the appointment of a re-
ceiver for Bay State Gas he contem-
plated killing himself and had a
revolver for that purpose, when Law
son prevented such tragedy.
| The Boston man gives with great
detail the story of the bribery of the
receiver. which had been appointed,
and his lawyer.
Lawson says it was arranged that
he and Addicks should pay the amount
of the claims, $3.50, 600, besides $3.50. 0O(
as q "file" for the trouble to which the
receiver had been put.
He writes that when the judge had
discharged the receiver according to
the agreement, two suit cases, each
containing $780, 900, were showed
across the table in the conrt room be
meath the judges bench and that thu
the bride was made effective.

Mr. Tom Lawson OF Boston. has not
vet been slain. There are persons who
would like to see him slain if some
other fellow will do it, but as for them
they are above the use of weapons of
the ordinary kind, they use only those
made of precious metals and studded
with precious stones. Mr.. Lawson has
said some hard things about Wall
Street, he has told tales that could
hardly be credited by the public gener-
ally, but which must be true or prac-
tically so, because those whom he has
attacked have WINGED so percepti5ly.
He is telling among other things how
VIM. J. Bryan was defeated for Pres
ident in 1896. He is telling that the
Standard Oil company put up, or caus.
ed to be put up in the hands of the late
Marcus A. Hanna only few days be
fore the election, five million dollars
to be used in the election. It is alb
surd to suppose that SO vast q sum Of
money could be used legitimately 81

to believe it. The money was given
Mr.. Hanna, it was given for the pur

The fixing of railway rates is likely
to be started in Congress soon after the
holidays, and there is every reason to
believe the measure will receive form.
Never in our lives have we seen meas
ure which seemed to strike so popular
a chord, which was fraught with so
much real danger as this one. 1t is so
vast in its ramifcations that We quail
before its immensely and its manifold
opportunities for imperial government.
