kURoPATkIN 20 RETIRE.

Official announcement was made at St.
Petersburg on Thursday that General
Kuropatkin is to be succeeded at once
as commander-in-c chief Of the Russian
army in Manchufia byGeneral Line
witch. 1t is quite PROBABLE that by
the time Linevltch gets into position
to 40 some commanding taere will be
no Russian army to command. the
remnants of the kurC 3-tkln legions
are being hard presser by the Jap
anese. They will be lucky if they get
away.
kuropatk:n will probably not be
sorry to be recalled Ranked as
Russia's greatest milltray commander
he has laboerd under terrible handi-
cap, as have all the Russian CON-
manders. That he has made failure
of the Manchurlan campaign is due
not so much to his lack OF ability AS
to the Jealousies and intrigues in his
army. And the fact that he has had
for his opponent, in Oyama, one Of the
greatest mlntary geniuses OF history,
must not be lost sight Of.
There are indeed at least six Japan
csc generals who are far superior to
any general IN the Russian army The
japanese nave had, too, the advantage
Of rarely intelligent cooperating by
their home government. Everything
it was possible to do has been done
by the Japanese war councils. The
soldiers have been better taken care
of than the soldiers of any nation in
any war. In our Revolutionary war
Washington was forced to contend
against cabal that continually
thretened his retirement. In the war
Of the Rebellion Lincoln is quoted as
saying that the politicians made him
more trouble than the Southern armies
In our war with Spain similar condi-
lions prevailed.
Above all, the japanese nave fought
like wild men. Death has helu no
terrors. On the contrary they have
seemed to seek death, esteeming it a
glorious privilege to yield UP their
ives on the altar of their country
u-opatkin could not battle against
such odds. Linevitch will not be able
to battle against them. Russia may
raise another great army, but that
army will pc shattered as Kuropat.
k:n's forces have been shattered.
Russia is beaten, hopelessly and If
retrievably. The sooner she makes
overtures for peace the better off she
will be

Some amusing anecdotes are told OF
the devices resorted to by bankers to
gain time and inspire confidence. Os
one memorable occasion the excited
subscribers. much to their indignation,
were only able to enter the bank one
by one except at the cost Of spoiled
coats. as the cute manager had caused
the door posts to be freshly painted.

But the most ingenious dodge Of all
was successfully carried out In Buenos

money and placing II In another bank

RACE SUICIDE IN MASSACHUSETTS

Finally Massachusetts has got around
to it. She has tackled the question oi
race suicide. 1t is now to be discovered
whether the tall shaft that looms oveI
Bunker Hill is memorial to patriots
who shed their blood in vain. 1t is tC

state having done her duty in preserv'
ing the soil, must henceforth trust tc
the joyous immigrant to populate and
enjoy its fruits. In the dim vista, 50
TO speak, along the track of this insid-
ious inquiry there looms tax on bach
elors. Don't doubt it! While statis-
ties show a large majority of old maids
over old men, there is no doubt that the
ingenious lawmakers will want TO tan
the bachelors for not reducing the op.
posite sex in due proportion from posi-
tion of happy independence to the re-
straint and dependence of the married
state.
The one glimmer of hope for the un-
regenerate bachelor exists in the first
clause of the new undertaking. Charles
FELTON, Pidgin, who is in charge of the
census now in progress, declares that
he is going to begin by investigating
the married couples to ascertain wheth-
er they are neglecting their duty to
posterity. That is a phase of the ques.
tion that has received no enlightenment
at the hands of the state so far.
We are not informed as to what re.
concentrations Mr.. Pidgin is prepared
TO make if he discovers that the popula.
tion is not on a normal increase in those
apartment houses where children are al.
lowed. Other couples will probably re.
fer him to the janitor and the sign: "No
dogs or children" 1t should not be
accepted as an excuse-not in Massa-
chusetts, with its traditions and patriot
ism. Then the sisterhood of maidens
should be severely catchised as to tire
superfuity. and the responsibility should
be placed where it rightly belongs.
Seriously, the lead taken by SIassa.
chusetts in this department of vital sta
tistics could be followed with value
by other states. 1t would give us a
basis of computation for estimates that
would permit of provision for a popula-
tion of ten, twenty, thirty years hence,
approximately well known in advance.
