sole available means thereto. 1t Ia alb
solutely impossible to govern India,
the population OF which Is increasing
with portentous rapidity, and at the
same time to shield her from Muscovite
encroachment unless the methods OF
rule followed at Calcutta differ radically
from those which are embodied in the
British Constitution. To grant univer-
sal suffrage in India would be an iniquity,
to concede parliament an act Of sui
cide. In the nature Of things, the politi-
cal ideal of the Calcutta Government,
which with handful Of agents under
takes to regulate world, is and must
be paternal despotism. The only staff
which it has to lean upon, alike for
the maintenance of internal order and
for the needs Of exterior defense, is a
thoroughly organized and disciplined
army, always at the acme of efficiency,
always in state of mobilization.
1t would be vain to assert that the
Anglo-lndian administrators have ever
had such an instrument at their disposal,
but that the attainment of it is not i'm
possible was shown by Lord KITCHENER q
achievement in Egypt, where out of
materials seemingly worthless he created
a military machine before whose ire
sistible advance tho hitherto invincible
levies of the Kalifa ABDULAHI went down
like grain before the sickle. The same
exceptional talent for organization was
displayed by him in South Africa, and
the British Government would have been
blind had it not shown itself alive to the
fact that fate had added another General
to the small list of great commanders
who illuminate Englands history. That

merit they proved by sending him
forthwith to the post of danger and
Of honor, the Anglo-Indian Empire.
When peace is made between Japan
and Russia, as soon or late of course
it must be, the hunger of the Russian
rulers for rehabilitation in the eyes OF
the world and the expansive energies
of the powerful Russian nation will al
most certainly point in the direction OF
British India. 1t may then prove well
for England that she gave KITCHENER
free hand and forbore to cramp his
military genius by subjecting it to the
pedantry, the routine and the self-im-
portance of bureaucrat.

placed permanently under martial law "for
the protection and security of the in
habitants," as the edict reads. After
dusk no one dare leave his house. New
arrivals are vigorously interrogated and
If their explanations are not considered
satisfactory they are sent to prison; arrests
are increasing. The establishment Of
order that is the excuse for all this has
caused such panic, even among what
the official paper calls the well ineen-
toned" that equally with criminals they
have fed, leaving everything behind them.
At Sebastopol, al at Odessa. business is
completely at standstill. the most active

been exiled or arrested. and the pleasure
resorts at Balaklava Yalta and other places
on the Crmean coast are empty. On the
other hand. the prisons. the classmates Of
the old forts and the barracks are filed
with prisoners.

Mr.. sullivan's Prophecy.

The highly Hon. TIMOTHY D. SULLIVAN,
whose eminence as master OF the art
OF politics none may dispute, has looked
with considerable degree Of care into
the merits and dement's of municipal
ownership; and his decision is emphatic
ally in favor of the proposition that
public utilities should be owned and
operated by the city government.
Mr.. SULLIVAN brushes aside as Of
little consequence such minor details
as the comparative costs Of operation
under public and private control. the
rights OF investors and the like. They
are Of small importance. The principal
question involved he answers thus:
with municipal control OF the street railways
Tsmmany Hall would be in power for $50 years"
When the chief Of all the Sullivans
speaks on a question of public policy
it Is time for all others to keep silent
and give an attentive ear He knows
what he is talking about. He sees, and
Is not afraid to tell, the real secret of
municipal ownership and operation.
He does not spend much time or effort
among the clouds in which dwell dunno
and JOHNSON and others Of their like.
He IL practical advocate Of municipal
ownership, for practical purpose, with
q practical end in view.
The Hon. TIMOTHY d. SULLIVAN has
contributed more pure wisdom in one
sentence to the discussion Of municipal
ownership than its most pretentious
advocates have been able to supply in
oil their bulky outgivings.

Philadelphia contemporary refers, with

signed this order to the Democrats Of
Kentucky:
Let the convention to be assembled In Louis
Vile provide for the presence Of at least 10000
unarmed Kentuckians In this city twashingtonl
on the coming fourteenth OF February. Less than
this would be OF no avail SO much. supplemented,
as II will be, by other States, will secure through
civil agencies q peaceful settlement OF the most
dangerous issues that ever menaced the existence
OF FREQ government"
In it's editorial columns 1t said that
100000 freemen appearing at the seat
Of Government, each with n petition
and remembrance in his hand, will be
an exhibition of peaceful methods Of
popular government unequalled in all the
magnificent displays of the world.
OF course the talk of peaceful settle
ment" and peaceful methods deceived
nobody. Colonel WATTERsoN proposed
to send an army Of 100000 men to Wash
ington. Their presence cou.l have but
one purpose. 1t would ir',o disorder
and bsgin civil war.
Ten days after the Colonels call to
arms the Democrats held convention
at Louisville. They INDUCED in a set
of resolutions, but they didn't raise a
Kentucky army of 10000, as directed
by the Colonel. They refused to press
where his bright pen shone mid the
words of war. The Colonel was in'Wash-
ington, waiting to become General and
lead that Democratic army. The army
couldn't be modified.
That unassembled army, that unfougfN
fight, that unchanged charge, that unwon
victory, they are the brightest pigments
OF the Colonel's war-paint:
How can his glory fade'

But he asked for hundred thousand,

understood why he did so. Why didn't
he, single handed, inaugurate TrLDEN,

Australia and South Africa point to their

SCHOOLMARM CROP SHORT.
Rural Schools Unable to Find Teacher
VINO VIII Work for tho Money offered.

GENEVA, N. Y. Aug. 22.-The school,
marin crop is very short In this section
this year. All country districts are COM
planning from the same cause. Tho ac-
complishments demanded Of teachers have
been increased year by year until they
are 90 high that many teachers who Allied
positions in the country are barred out.
About the only teachers left are college
and normal raduates and graduates Of
teachers training classes, who on account
of their special preparation and training
feel that they are entitled to better re-
Enumeration than is paid In the country
districts.
Even II the teachers prepared in the
training olasses were willing to teach these
country schools the supply from this source
would be inadequate. Tho situation r.
likely to grow worse because under tho
laws which soon 60 into effect the require
ments for teachers certificates are moro
stringent than ever and the result, 1t IL
feared, will be the closing Of many rural
schools. In some distri Is means are
being provided to carry children from
the country distriots into neiehboring VII
lagos to attend school the coming winter.

The automobile industry OF Italy appears

The automobile industry OF Italy appears
to have before 1t prosperous future.
Owing to the many mountains railroad
building Is costly and horse traction is
slow and laborious. These drawbacks
favor motor traction. The Italian Govern
ment seems disposed to encourage public
automobile services as auxiliaries to the
now Government owned railways. The
success OF Italian motor boats and cars
in the recent racing competitions In France
has aroused general interest in the whole
subject OF automobiles. 1t would seem to
be worth the while Of American automo-
bile manufacturers to cultivate the Italian
field, especially as the general economic
revival in Italy has continued during the
last six months.
