Some Horrors Of War.

From the Baltimore American.
The official computation OF japanese
loss Of lire during the war with Russia
would be the most eloquent Of argu-
ments for universal and permanent
peace when the second Peace Congress
assemblies at The Hague. 1t IS stated
that the entire loss by death is about
10000 OF this number 46,lSO We're killed
outright. 1870 died Of wounds, and
$1,000 died OF sickness 1t is proudly
asserted that this proportion Of deaths
on account OF sickness is without a
parallel for low rate. It is the least
ever known IN a great war, but it is
certainly great enough. No statement
is made Of the number Of wounded still
suffering, and Of the number which
have recovered, but will be maimed for
life.
1t is probably fair to assume that the
Russian loss was greater than the
japanese The Japanese fighting was
/ nercer. the ammunition and projectiles
more UtNlINillNts the anu NuitIr ana
the Russian suffering was aggravated
by the vast distance from the base OF
supplies II is not exaggerating to
estimate that by the time the armies
disband the dead Of both armies will
not be fewer than 100000, if, indeed. IL
se not more than that now. This is ap-
palling enough, but added to this are

X NOWLEDGE that three great in
IA surance companies have for
years had a secret agreement whereby
they employed special agents to con-
troll legislation in many states and di-
vided the expense shows the menace
to our institutions which certain Of
these great corporations constitute.
Not only do they brutally bribe leg
islators, drive bargains by which one
bin Is traded for another and compel
obedience through the whip Of cam
paign contributions. but they create a
system of bidding for legislation which
is most pernicious. Having adopted
the system Of paying for legislation,
bills are drawn and presented that
have no other object than blackman,
and thus the chief result is to debauch
the representatives Of the people.
In Delaware Legislatures in recent
years lobbyists have nourished They
watch legislation. paying for any new
legislation their principals want and
buying immunity from acts which
would hold them to stricter accounta-

New Castle. oct. 5-Denny S. Smith,
president Of City Council, asserted at "a
meeting of that body held last night that
the city had not yet accepted the lights
furnished II by the Delaware Water I'M
provement Company and intimated that
therefore it was not obligated to paw for
street lighting until the company notified
the city that the street lighting system
was in good working order and was ready
to be turned over.
Mr.. Smiths remarks We're brought
about i'm somewhat peculiar manner.
Mr. Jemison offered a motion to the effect
that inasmuch as Council had entered
into a contract with the new water CONF
pany to furnish water for city purposes
that the old water company be notiled
that after the first of the year its SER
vices would not be needed. Before Mr.
Jemison bad time to put his motion into
proper wording the incandescent lights
in the Mayors Office went out and the
room was left in total darkness. In the
confusion that followed no vote was taken
on the motion and it passed unnoticed.
This incident led Mr.. Reynolds to re-
mark that few lights in the western sec
tion Of the city burned during the early
morning hours and that he believed some
action should be taken by Council i'm the
matter Mr.. Reynolds statement caused
President Smith to reply that Council
had not accepted the lights and no COM
plants could be entertained until they
are turned over to the city.
Mr.. Smiths statement came i'm the ma
ture of a surprise as it was generally un
derstood that the obligation of the cit.
to the Delaware Water Improvement
Company began when the electric light
and water were put in service which wal
ON contract time, in September. If Coun
ell stands by Mr.. Smiths contention Their
will be, probably, "A controversy when th'
company presents its first bill for pay
mont. Mr.. Smith stated that he had beer
visited by a committee of employees of th
Brylgon and Baldt employees which aske'
for a light at the sluice along the rive
bank. No action was taken.
Mr. Gallagher reported that Schoo
street which was i'm bad shape had beei
repaired. Sev cral cutters in various part
of the city had also been cleaned out

that the city should pay the expenses at

to deduct the carfare from Mr.. Doris

COLLEGE FRANKS.

THE students OF the University OF
Il Wisconsin are in a position to
be taught some sense. for the presi-
dent Of the University and the mayor
Of Madison have decided that they
must be treated just like anybody
else, and that when they indulge in
lawlessness they must be regarded as
other breakers.
Had this view obtained generally
there would probably be greater re-
lspect for authority on the part Of col
lege students. But the difficulty has
been that magistrates and faculties
have chosen to regard infractions Of
the law as mere college pranks. over
looking the fundamental truth that in
dividual accountability makes the sort
of men that-are needed.
It seems that the students of Wis
consin University decided to bre,k up
certain shows that did not appeal TO
their aesthetic sense. and in doing it
they assaulted the officers OF the law
and in resisting arrest constituted a
violent mob.
The mayor having decided to treat
these college hoodlums like any other
hoodlums, directs his policemen to
maintain order and arrest violators OF
the law, even though they have to use
their pistols. This win probably inn
press the lesson that no man because
he happens TO be a college student can
trample on the rights OF others. There
