Castro Drinking Again.

Castro has been drinking again.
When Castro drinks he has visions, and
on his latest spree he had one. that
beats anything he has yet accomplished
in the dream line. He imagined him
self crossing the Caribbean sea with
his "immortal army and besieging
New Orleans. His press agent, in an
nouncing the expedition, says:
t'This may seem to many Utopian
dream, but when we reflect that the
North American squadrons cannot oper
ate lin forests, and that traders will
always be traders, inept and cowardly
in feats Of heroism, our hearts swell
within and we are willing to take oul
stand in the vanguard among the dis
.tinguished heroes of the new world

that Venezuela is immortal and is the
first to take up the glove which i!

mined stand on the part Of the Wolcott
republicans against the seating Of Pea
body. They agreed to it only after
Peabody had signed a resignation and
given it to one of their number to be
filed with the secretary of state as soon
as Peabody was sworn in. This will
make Mcdonald, who is one of them,
governor and dispose at once of Adams
and his claims and the offensive per-
sonality Of Peabody.
The most charitable construction to
be placed on the farce of the election
in Colorado is that the people there had
temporarily abdicated their rights and
duties. After this it is to be expected
that Colorado will protect her ballot
and maintain the substance as well as
the form of popular government.

Japs Will Make the Terms.

Russia has declared several times
that she would never consent to foreign
intervention and, foreign dictation of
terms of peace. She has in mind prob
ably the case Of 1878, when the Brit
ish government brought about the meet
ing Of the Berlin congress of the Euro
pean powers, who, tore Russia's San
Stefano treaty to pieces, and recon-
structed the new. map she had made of
Turkey and made another distribution
of the Turkish spoils to Russia IS dis
advantage. If there is a settlement Of
the present dominating question in the
far east, as to maintaining a just equi-
librium in the near future, Russia is not
likely to have her own way. She is at
present the under dog in the fierce fight
and seems to be held down and badly
handicapped as to getting a new deal,
with brand new "grand army At
this psychological moment the Japan
csc statesman, Baron Suyematsu, man
of great influence and high position,
emphatically declares that. Japan has
fought this big fight alone and does not
recognize the right Of any neutral to in
terfere in the arrangement Of a settle
1nent. Japan, he says, proposes to die
tate settlement, as far as possible sat-
isfactory to herself, including reason
able indemnity; and one which will not
leave Russia in a position to menace
Japan in any way. Unless such results
are obtained, Japan will continue the
war until the peril of Russian domino
tion on the Asiatic Pacific coast is re-
moved.
! This position is eminently fair and
reasonable. At the beginning Of the
war Russia boosted that she would die
tate terms to, the Japs at the capita
Of the insular empire, and the worl:

Physicists Return to- Franklin's Defini-

llams, the eminent scientist and author
OF the ''Story of Nineteenth Century Sci

table articles on ELECTRICITY in Modern
Life which are to appear in the Weekly.
Dr. Williams first paper deals in a man
ner Ineligible to the layman with the en-
crossing question-"Wllat Is Electricity?'
After examining the various theories
winch have been advanced to explain the
nature and origin OF this most mysterious
OF natural forces, DR.. Williams concludes
that Benjamin Frankln's theory, which
considered electricity as an immat erial
mud bearing certain curious relations to
tangible matter, is found to 'serve sin

Japanese Jury of Twelve Judges Found
cd olO Years Ago.-Baron Kentaro Kane
ko OF the Japanese house OF peers, in The
National Geographic = Magazine, shows
that, despite the fact that Japan's renais-

she had some modern ideas of administer

NO doubt an American audience will be much
Interested to know that as long ago as the year
iz32 a. D., Japanese statesman made the
laws IN touch with the popular feeling, for by
the laws OF the Teiyei era he established a coun-

DER as the English jury: These twelve judges
sat in the council chamber and before them all
ntlgat1On was for investigation and decision. The
plaintiff and defendant had their spokesman who
argued and defended the case; and afterward
the twelve judges retired into closed chamber
where an oath was administered and they DELHI

TO AN OLD PLAYMATE

Your lips, dear girl, were roses,
Your hair was ripened wheat.
The brook forgot his song to hear
The music of your feet.
Your hands were swift white butterflies,
Your eyes were wells Of blue.
Oh, what riot in my heart
Was wrought by June and you.
And now for years beneath the grass
Your needless hands have lain,
And recollection wakes in me
A hurt that scarce is pain.
Asleep with nature, breast to breast,
How peacefully you lie.
Above your heart the care-free fow'rs,
And over them-the sky.
