Emperor Distressed.

The emperor was greatly distressed
when the Washington dispatch contain
ing the Information sent by the con-
sui at NagaSaki arrived.
The newspaper DISPATCHES naturally
created the widest speculation. Some
of the officers of the admiralty who on
saturday were inclined to take the view
that the ships off Woo Sung were
empty Golfers sent TO the rear 10 avoid
hamperiug the waTships. or that it was
a division of little fighting value dis

him off the scent. thought on Sunday
that it was possible Rojestvensky might

of the second Russian division before
making a general announcement

Hope Remains.

The majority of the naval authorities,
however, continue To believe that RO-
jeStvenslIv could not risk a division Of
his fighting ships Those of an Opti-
mistic turn hope that Rojestvensky did
actually throw Togo off the trail and
escaped him as the French fleet eIuded
Nelson on the way 10 Egypt. and that
they encountered only torpedo boats in
the Straits Of Korea. This opinion.
though, is not generally shared. and
the great majority think that TOgo's
scouts were able 10 keep i'm touch with
the fighting division and that the Jap
anest lay in wait for Rojestveusky in
the narrow water where a battle is re-
ported to have taken place

the contrary. Touching him the St.

for a little millennium upon the transfer
of state affairs into the hands of the pie

two by fours, grand old Republican Mis-
souri, is hardly Utopian dream. 1t is
rather a parody to make good citizens
weep.

The g. o. p, the party of good old pie,
is so intent upon the incidentals per-

cannot see the essentials One Of the es-
sentials which ought to be regarded is the
selection of a United States senator to
represent the state. After more than
two weeks of squabbling over considera-
lions of beer and railway interests, fed
eral jobs and factional recognition the
party is further from a result than when
1t began. The only result Of the session
so far is an accumulation of evidences OF
Republican incompetency and littleness, to
the disgust of citizenship everywhere. Ev-
cry voter in Missouri, Republican or DEM
ocrat, is sick of the exhibition. The ex-
hibitien does more than disgust Mis-

being p1lloried and poohpoohed every

wv mission. popularity called
1.-The bill to regulate freight
rates." came up in the house, Hon. John
Sharp Williams, the Democratic house
leader, put the sincerity of the Repub-
licans to a staple but severe test and
found them utterly lacking in that
virtue on that occasion and on that
subject. In behalf of the Democrats,
he proposed to waive all debate, pro-
vided they would permit us to offer
three amendments and have them vot-
ed on. This was refused. Wherefore?
Because things are not what they seem
and because they are trying to pose as
friends Of strict regulation, whereas
they are rot in favor of it at all. Will
iiams tore off their masks. Sometimes
the right to debate is valuable, but OH
question such as this, which has been
deliberately discussed in the public
press, the right to amend and perfect the
bill was far more valuable than the
right to talk, but the right to amend
and perfect was precisely the thing
which the Republican leaders were de-
termined we should not have, because
it would spoil their great game of make
believe. for they knew that enough Re-
publicans would vote with the Demo
Gratis to perfect the bill by amendment.
Consequently they rammed rule
through granting about ten hours for
debate, but not permitting amendment
The rule permitted a vote on a substi-
tute for the whole bill, the point be-
ing that divers Republicans would have
voted with us on various amendments
which would improve the bill who
would not vote for our substitute as
whole Wonder if the Republican lead
ers believe they can deceive the people
with such bunko games as
that. They will wake up some fine
and find that the masses have
more sense and intelligence than, they

"Gotd Going Out"

A good many papers are commenting
In various stages of trepidation on the
fact that our gold is leaving us in large
quantities. Week before last eleven
millions went to Europe from this
country. and the Philadelphia Inquirer
says that that fact has given the finan-
cial eenters of the country slight
chill of apprehension. 1t is feared by

upon the American gold supply. We
are also given as reasan for the ex-
portation Of our gold that large guam
titles Of American securities held
abroad have been sold. Still another
reason is found In the fact that we are
not using as much money In cur bust
ness as we did year or two ago. No
doubt that is one reason, but, il that
be true, how does it happen that we
are constantly regaled with the story
that our prosperity Is constantly in
creasing: II we are not using as much
money In our business as formerly it
does not require captain OF industry
TO figure it out that the volume OF our
BUSINESS is shrinking instead OF grow
ing, and It must follow az the night the
day that shrinkage in volume of
business means falling Off in pros
perity. The plain, unvarnisl,ed truth is
that conditions for several wears have
been very favorable to or accumnla-
tioli Of gold. In fact. our trade condi-
tions with foreign countries were alb
normally favorable to us and enabled
us to pile UP more than orr proportion
ate share Of the wo.ld's gold supply.
Now conditions are heco;..sill-s normal
and we must give ~ osIs. escess OF

Two Phenomena.

At the present time two phenomena
must attract the attention Of philoso-
pliers, psychologists and sociOlogists,
and one of them must attract the at
tention of erimnologists also. They
are. first, the great religious REVEALS
now In progress all over the land: sec
ond, the exposures of corruption in va
riOus state capitals. Whether the two
have any connection, necessary or 9th
erwise, with each other is not now
known and may never be known. Mis-
souri, has exposed her corruptionists.
and religious reyivals throughout the
state are numerous and remarkable
for the crop of sinners who make the
good confession. At Denver an ex-
posure Of corruption in both parties
appalling in fts proportions is being
made, while at Colorado Springs re-.
ligious revival is working wonders. In
Illinois lawyer in public speech
charges the. legislature with wholesale
corruption, and In various parts of the
state the preachers are making more
converts than ever before. Is some gen
eral cause. operating to produce more
crime and corruption than usual, or can
the exposures be credited to more Wig
orous attempts on the part of law off,
GERS to discover and punish crime? Are
the revivals generated by an extraor-
binary desire on the part Of the people
to escape the wrath to come Or to the
extraordinary talent and energy of the

house cleaning?

body is guessing At one time it was

The Deficit.

Last year when Democratic papers
and orators spoke of a deficit in the
revenues such talk was branded by
the Republican speakers and organs as
campaign lies" but that talk was the
truth nevertheless. The deficit is now
admitted by all concerned. Even Re-
publican papers are bemoaning it, de-
claring that it never ought to have
been, and are beginning to realize
that the Republican extravaganza
which begot the deficit is preventing
appropriations for useful and even nee
essary purposes. Experience is bad
school, but fools will learn in 10 other"
so it is said. We who have preached
and voted economy for years have been
sneeringly alluded to as '*cheeseparing
statesmen The cry has been, The
old flag and an appropriation"
