The meeting between the Emperor
William and the Car of Russia is at
tracing widespread attention. 1t is
interesting but not likely to have any
definite effect on the course of the
peace conference. But it shows one
thing to Europe, that Russia may
count on an ally not to be despised
in case the worst comes and the long
deferred European war does break
out Germany at present is almost
as much isolated as Great Britain.
She has viewed the reproachment of
England and France with concern.
Her Emperor is the man who drew
the cartoon of the Yellow Peril, and
he is not yearning to see Russia
humbled in any way by Japan. The
meeting of the nominal autocrat and
the nominal constitutional sovereign
off Bkjerkoe Island probably had
more of personal friendship than pol
itics in it. But should it come to a
pinch in the affairs of the white
against the yellow in the Far East,
it is safe to say that Russia would
find Germany quite as willing an ally
as France and the Franco. British al
lance would have to take care of it.
self while England backed her little
ally of the East. Meantime both
parties to the Peace conference are
rapidly approaching Portsmouth.
They are both trained in all the arts
of diplomacy and both are looking for
the under hold. 1t is possible that
Russia may agree to the terms Japan
has to propose, but it would not be
the most surprising thing in the
world if the conference broke up
without result. Russia has lost
Sakhalin Island and now has nothing
on the Pacific coast but Vladivostock.
Even that is threatened, and for her
to make terms that leave all these
eastern spoils in the hands of Japan
will be to stir up an awful internal
hornets nest in Russia. That Japan
will be satisfied with anything less
than what she has and heavy in
demnity to boot would be attributing
to her more Christian charity than
one would expect to find in Buddhist
nation. There you have a wide
chasm for the plenopotentiaries to
bridge. 1t is possible that the meet
ing of William and Nicholas was a
little spectacular effect arranged to
have weight with the conference at
Portsmouth.

ACKNOWL LEDGMENT OF THANKS

We feel ourself greatly indebted to
the Republicans of Wood county for
the honor we received in the Republi-
can convention on Tuesday last.
To receive nearly enough votes to
nominate on the first ballot with four
candidates in the field was a high
compliment, and to be nominated by
a vote of $50 was indeed an honor of
which we feel the right to be justly
proud, although we shall endeavor to
prevent our head getting swelled by
remembering that our success was
due to the good will of the people in
the convention and not on account of
any personal greatness.
No candidate ever went into con-
vention endorsed by delegation of
better men or more enthusiastic sup
porters, and no candidate was ever
more proud of his home people than
we, and while we are proud of the
boys from home, there is a host of
good friends from nearly all parts of
the county to whom we feel
deeply indebted, and it shall be our
earnest endeayor to proye
worthy of the high honor conferred.
