well of him and that fixed it.

Japac.se Barbsrity

The publication in Saigon of an
article written by Francis McCul-
llagh, a New York Herald CORES
pondent. seems to have caused a
change of opinion concerning the
japanese. If the statements at
ltributed to Mr.. McCullagh are
correct, the japanese are not the
chivalrous soldiers that we have
been led to believe they are.
Their actions after the battle of
Tie Pass are severely criticised.
Ii is asserted that the Mikado's s
troops continued to fire long after
the Russians had displayed the
white flag.
After the battle of Mukden
Mr.. McCullagh saw a thousand
Russian prisoners herded like
sheep in an enclosure near Lao
yang, without any kind Of shelter
or covering to protect them from
the inclemency of the weather.
They were subjected to the jeers
and insults of both Japanese and
Chinese, and exposed to unneces-
sary miseries. Like reports have
come from other sources, though
the Russians themselves have
been careful not to complain.
England. on account of its
alliance with Japan, is denounced
as being blind to the interests of
the white race. Other persons
who have been at the scene of
war and have observed the ia
panese closely, have given out
similar expressions.
The Japs lack in a good many
things regarded by us as essential
elements of civilization. Measur-
ing them by our standard they
fall short. After all is said, they
are Japanese and will so remain
to the end of time for aught we
know. Barbarous, superstitious
and arrogant.

A gown with pocket! How fondy I'd guard it!
Each day ere I'd don it I'd brush it with care;
Not full Paris costume could make me discard It,
Though trimmed with the laces empress might wear
But have no hope, for the fashion is banished:
The tear of regret will my fond visions drown;
As fancy rsverts to the days that have vanished.

The most serious question
presented to the jury is how to
best govern the large foreign ele-
ment or population in our country.
especially in Lyndo-a.
While Butler county is pro-
ressive and gladly welcomes
business enterprises, it is a most
yexatious problem nov confront
ing us. During the review of the
several criminal cases, especially
the eyer-absorbing one of murder,
there was constantly present the
fact that drinking beer and other
Intoxicating liquors caused drum
ken brawls which resulted in
crimes ranging up to murder.
These foreigners are usually
strong men. seemingly having
kindly hearts, but when drinking
become very boisterous and gen.
orally quarrelsome
When their chickering's about
thefts and their more serious
crimes are presented to the court
il is almost impossible to secure
the facts, since an interpreter
must be employed. Now the
question is who must keep the
very expensive court machinery
In motion. The answer Is, the
taxpayers.

nous takers and q 6unkG brawl

and time is very precious when
you count the cost Of running our
courts. What is the remedy .
We recommend that the several
saloons in Lyndora should be
abolished. as well as the source of
supply that permits it to be fur
nished to their homes.
When these foreigners receive
their pay they proceed in battal-
ions to these saloons, being under
the impression, perhaps. that
they are there for their especial
convenience. Money is spent
most freely, drunken quarrels
resulting in arrests, and the bur-
den of all is on Butler county. IL
these saloons are closed the for
eigners will realize that the law
has removed the intoxicating
drinks from their homes.
We deeply deplore this alarm

may be exhausted in a strenuous
