The Discomfort in Japan.

The folly OF the antl-peace treaty move
ment In Japan illustrated at a mass
meeting held at Osaka in the adoption
of the following resolution:
The peace that has just been conclud-
ed between Russia and Japan fOrfeits the
fruits of victory and sows seeds of fu-
ture complications and danger. The gov
ernment's hgh-handed and unconstitutional
measure has resulted In unexpected dis
turbance to the peace OF the city in which
the mkado resides The empires honor
has been soiled and the spirit of the con-
stitution lost Never has our country been
brought to face greater dangers. There
fore be 1t
Resolved That we hope that the hui
initiating peace agreement will be broken
and the government will resign.
Here, in effect. is proposition that Japan
declare war on Russia on the score of the
indemnity refused for the war just closed.
What would be the effect of such a step
on the civilized world? The severest con-
demnation of Japan. The glory she has
earned from the war undertaken from mo-
tives of self-defense would all be lost, and
she would appear In the role Of fighting
for mere booty. The sympathy she has
enjoyed would be transferred to Russia.
Would Oyama's troops fight as valiantly
and irresistibly In such cause they did
in the other cause? We may doubt it.
The cause Is everything to a brave man.
Attacking the peace was TO attack the
men who had advised it, and the demand
for the resignation of the government was
a part of the resolution adopted. Per
contra, unfolding the peace Is to uphold the
men who made It, and the mikado refuses
the resignation of the government. Let us
hope that he Will stand pat on that. The
outside world feels great admiration for the
men who declared the against Russia,
for those who fought it, and again for those
who brought II to an end by the pact made
at Portsmouth. They represent in the eyes
OF outsiders the Japan of progress and
thorough enlightenment and the men
who should remain in control of her for
tunes at this most important period of her
fortunes.
Even if a new war were not begun, a
new government for Japan, brought in on a
tide of discomfort with the high and mag
narimous terms of the Portsmouth Conven-
ton, would cause d!strUst of Japan as to
the future. and chill her friends in every
part of the world. Such a government
might prove milestone around her neck
government like an individual, must
have friends. and to secure and hold them
must pursue n policy founded upon char
acter and Justice.

Personal Liberty.

NJ. Witte the chief Russian peace envoy,
paid a visit while in New York to Police
Commissioner McAdoo. and asked him
many questions relative to the conduct of
police affairs and the treatment of crime In
this country. Unfortunately, no represen-
tatives of the press were present during the
interview, a fact which Mr. McAdoo now
deplores. In view of the fact that garbled
accounts of the conversation have been
published. The commissioner. however
feels at liberty to state that NJ. rritte ex-
pressed his great surprise that there were
no arrests in the large American cities for
political offenses, such as constitute n very
large percentage of the Russian police
work. This is not unexpected 1t must be
difficult for even so broad and liberal a
Russian as NJ. Wltte to understand the
practical workings of the American system
or free speech. He has lived in an ntmos-
phere of repression. He has seen the sub
Jects Of tbs car dragged off to prison or
shot down in the streets by scores for
daring to raise their voices in petition for
assistance in their distress He is himself
reformer at heart He told Mr.. McAdoo
that he personally favors the largest de-
gree Of freedom of speech. short Of incytrng
TO immediate violence or assassination
Ihat is all any rational American could ask
OF the most liberal government Perhsps in
the days to come NJ. Witte may have a
chance 10 put his view into practice and
bring about reform in the Russian police
methods, which are so radically different
from those In this country with respect to
the liberty of the individual.

A Primary for Tennessee.

The primary plan for selecting candidates
for the United States Senate goes marching
on Its latest triumph is IN Tennessee.
In May next the democrats of that state
Will decide at the polls who shall succeed
Mr.. Carmack In the Senate In case they
carry the legislature. This insures that be-
tween now and then the aspirants for the
office Will hump themselves and wake the
echoes with their eloquence.
When Mr.. Martin defeated Gov. Mon
tague I'm the recent contest In Virginia 1t
was said In some quarters that the former
had an advantage by being in office. But
the reasoning was not persuasive What
advantage had Mr.. Martin but his record !?
He had dispensed no patronage. The fed
eral places were all filled with republicans
and the state places at the governors COM
mand with the governors friends. Mr..
Martin had no coterie of Office holders in
his service. but relied solely upon what he
had done In the Senate as one Of the states
representatives In that body.
Mr.. Carmack must make his fight in the
same way. He has nothing but his record
TO offer. No federal patronage has been
at his disposal, and no state patronage

was thrust over the edge of the structure.
The other theory is that the train bore the
wrong signals. thus warranting the tower
man in turning the switch for the curve.
In either case 1t Is plain that the motor
man, who disappeared Immediately after
the accident and has not yet been found,
ran his train at dangerous rate of speed
when he saw. or should have seen the Sig
nails set for the curve instead of the
straight track. Whether the towerman
was responsible or not, the motorman Is
blamable for his reckless running re-
CARELESS of signals. Had he slowed down
on seeing the curve signals he would
merely have run around the wrong
track. being later forced to back up to OBJ
tain his proper line
Thus in any case the combination of a
deficient human agent and deficient con-
struction is presented, for If the curve had
been properly built no mistake of either
motorman or towerman, or both. would
have resulted in disaster. And in the ad-
justment of the case it is to be hoped that
the courts of New York will find a way to
hold to a full degree of responsibility
those higher officials of the line whose
duty to the public requires them to adopt
every device known to engineering science
which will safeguard human life.

the United States. The sincerity of his
friendship for us has been tested, and will

The Elevated Wreck.

Nhen the plan OF elevating the rapfd
transit lines of great cities was bro,rbo,
years ago, a loud Outcry was raisea D.,
many people. protesting that the r,rnjro

exceedingly periiOus on the score that
II accidents happened to them the surf,ca
taifc would be ia serious danger no
spite this objection the project was de-
Nel"Peo IN New York and later in other
cities ana IT Is generally TO the credit OF
the engineers who have built and r,apaood
these lines that there have been very few
disasters endangering the lives of tho noo-
pie below the roads. Yesterdays sbocl,ipe
accident in New York was one Of thee
and II is a striking fact that althnugb

street practically all the damage was do,a
to the occupants of the wrecked train
One policeman in the street was fatally in
Jured OF the passengers in the heavily
loaded train at least eleven were killed
outright and fifty were more or lose in
jured
One structural and two human causes arc
assigned TO explain the wreck The struc-
tural cause is that at the point where the
line divides into two branches the man
agement has retained what is technically
known as fiat curye-that is a curve
with the OUTSIDE ran at the same level
with the other. There have been minor
accidents at this place in such numbers
that the corporation has had ample warn
ing of the danger The change to a banked
curve, permitting a fairly high rate of
speed in rounding without especial dan
ger, would have cost the owners about
$4,000 Yesterdays accident will cost
possibly 100000 in damage claims.
There is some doubt as to which of the
two human causes Is most to blame One
theory OF the disaster Is that the tower
man. whose duty 1t Is to switch trains
alternately to one and the other branches
OF the line. mistook the destination signals
on the approaching train and sent 1t

Milk and Typhoid Germs.
ON the New York Globe.


The bulletin of the state board of health,
discussing the relations of typhoid fever
and milk inspection, absolves the COW
from blame. II says, in effect, that the
germs of the disease never exist in milk
as 1t comes from the udder; that although
it is well to look after the sanitary con-
ditionS of the animals for other reasons,
such scrutiny aVailS nothing in lessening
typhoid. Conversely, as milk from badly
kept cows is not originally infected, so
milk from perfectly healthy cows, MAIN
tanned under the most sanitary cOndi-
tons may contain the bacillus when it
reaches the customer. The doctrine is
that the typhoid germ is wholly of hu
man origin and reaches the milk after it
is drawn. Precaution therefore, to pre-
serve the purity of the milk supply must
be directed toward guarding it after it
has reached the buckets-while it is be-
ing prepared for shipment and while in
transit to the consumer. When there is
an outbreak Of typhoid fever of milk orr
gin the cause must be sought elsewhere
than in the cows themselves.

Roosevelt Tariff Revision,

From the New York Sun.
All around we observe indications of the
depth and the strength of the public senti-
ment in favor of undermining the protective
tariff, and that at the very next session of
Congress. Curiously enough. one of the
most striking expressions of urgent anxiety
that the schedules shall be revised by the
Fifty-ninth Congress. a safely republican
and surely protectionist body. proceeds
from venerable and ever loyal protection

welt revision, we mean only that 1t was
the President himself who first taught pro-
tectionsts, in his two annual messages Of
1901 and 1902, to understand the changing
nature of the nations needs and to per-
ceive clearly the distinction between the
stability of the protective principle and the
fossilization OF its practical details as con-
tanned in the schedules.

Present prospects are for trial of con-
illusions between Mr.. Carmack and eX-Gov.

Carmack cultivates a satirical view of

at Cabul, and the Ameer has selected
with the greatest care the officers who

BISHOP ACCUSED
OF CONSPIRACY
TALBOT CHARGED
WITH PLOTTING WITH A WO-
MAN TO RUIN A MINISTER.

NEW YORK, Dec. 24.-Right Rev.
Ethelbert Talbot, Bishop of Central
Pennsylvania and one of the most dis
tinguished of American churchmen, is
the central figure in what promises to
be the greatest ecclesiastical trial of
many decades. Two years ago the
country was startled by charges Of
conspiracy brought against Bishop Tai
bot by an unfrocked rector of his do
cese, Rev. Ingram N. w. Irvine, who
had been forced from the pulpit of St.
Paul's Church at Huntington, Pa, by
his Bishop, and who told an amazing
story that leading churchmen refused
to credit.
The story was in brief that in un-
frockng Irvine and expelHng him from
the ministry, BISHOP Talbot had aimed
to please a woman and to crafty her
spite.
This astonishing charge was made
in the triennial general convention of
the Protestant Episcopal church. 1t
was speedily smoothed over. But r.
vines friends rallied to his support and
second presentment against Bishop
Talbot was secured 1t not only char
ges Talbot with conspiracy with the
woman to ruin Irvine, but accuses him
of the dlshonorable use of the names
of fellow bishops. An inquiry commit
tee was appointed.
The woman in the case is Mrs. EN-
ma d. Elliott, daughter Of General De-
sha of Alabama and half-sister OF
Mrs. O. II. Belmont, Irvine barred
her from the communion because she
