THE PEACE TREATY.

The conclusion OF peace negotiations al
Portsmouth between Russian and Japan
ese ENJOYS entrusted with this duty was
aappy as it was expected in Inc character
Of the terms agreed upon The obstinacy
aud pride OF Russia, the defeated country
contrasts strongly with the magnanimity
of Japan, the nation that has ove1whelr:-
ingly triumphed in the struggle up to this
tune. Japan stood out for what she re-
rded as reasonable indemnity for the
oss of life and property in this war which
the injustice and encroachments Of Russia
rendered necessary, and only yielded
when sati fed that Russias obduracy and
fear Of reaction at home prevented her
from accepting the terms laid down.
Iapan's conduct in this connection is
clothed With punctilio which not only
T fleets creditab.y upon the good sense Of
hat Island empire. but reveals a diplo-
matte shrewdness and acumen which the
aoparent victory of The Russian ENJOYS
,nnot obscure, at least not permanently
| T : Russian peace conn issioners disp az
n, diplomatic genius, unless stubbornness
be claEsed as such. Japan could have
been equally stubborn, had she chosen
such course, and she would have Jared
better under such procedure than Russia
could possibly have done. But with fine
appreciation of the courtesies that may be
rendered by victor she has shown an
example of International amenity tina,
we'll COMFORTS with the fine sense of chiv
airy and humanity that lends a charm to
the traditions OF Japan.
The impertinence and impotence exhb-
tied by Russia in the negotiations between
China and Japan at the close Of the war
between those countries, and the injustice
and 1,razennee OF her subsequent activity
in eastern Asia, could only result in the
i resentmen, and resistance Of Japan, OF
any other country SO located, if tina
country possessed an iota of pride Rus
s;a's hum ;liaticn is well merited retri

extent Of her punishment because of thu
magnanimity Of Japan in the negotiatio,
OF peace terms. War is a deplorabl
thing, and humanity looks longingly for
ward to hoped for time when it shal
cease to exist; but so long as nations ar
controlled by greed for territory. an
blinded to right. ii must be admitted tina
war seems iustifiable.
