Japanese people and on the other by
the Russian bureaucracy.
Official Russia continues in such a
state of confusion that it is impossible
to obtain an exact idea of the policy
which finally will be pursued. At this
moment by the direction Of the czar,
preparations are continuing to prose-
cute the war with even greater energy
than has been shown in the past. The
cry in Russia is:
"We have suffered the greatest dis
aster that was possible. Future de-
feats will be slight in comparison, and
there is always a chance Of victory"
Japan Is for War.
This view will meet with the warm
appreciation of the war party in Japan
which is growing stronger and strong
er and does not want peace. 1t insists
that there shall be no peace until Rus
sia is driven from the Pacific. 1t

"The task will be long one," re.

was. The defenses of Port Arthur
were constructed hastily, there was in
sufficient ammunition, the food was
not good, and no proper means were
taken to prevent scurvy. All this has
been corrected at Vladivostok That
port is naturally capable of easy de
fense. Batteries have been erected
which command the harbor, mines
have been laid, wire entanglements
exist, and strong garrison is drilling

ALL CHARGES AGAINST TOM

the county has been greater than they
wished to meet and they do not wish
to enter a lawsuit in which the evil
dence will not support conviction.
Whether or not the Omaha Civic Fed
Grafton will stand the expense of an
other trial is a matter of conjecture.
Elmer Thomas stated yesterday that
the federation would have to direct
him further in the matter.
A rought estimate Of the costs of
the trial is as follows:
Cost to Harrison county ;. -. $4,000
Cost to Civic federation ........ 5000
Cost to jewelers. union ........ 1000

The total when the eighteen months
of evidence finding have been covered
will reach a great deal higher than at
present. Through the entire trouble,
beginning with the, finding of the in
dictment, it is rumored that the Oma-
ha Civic Federation has expended
more than $4,000 to secure the con-
viction of Tom Dennison. However,
these figures are not authentic.

mills at Chenlnitz and elsewhere. We
could then agree to put our club behind
the door II she would also hide hers.
But Germany, France, Spain and Rus
sia are not the only countries whose
trade we have to consider. The double
system, like the system which we now
employ on a limited scale, implies an
exchange Of benefits and trade advan-
tages and virtually suppresses the
h" most favored nation provision. 1t Is
applicable only where each has special
advantage to offer in exchange for spe-
cial advantage. Its operation IN this
country would put us in something OF q
quandary regarding our trade with Eng
land, our very good friend and largest
customer who now takes from us one
third Of all we export and as much as
we export to the whole Of Continental
Europe. Under her fiscal system she
has nothing to offer in the way OF special
advantages, and it might be little awk-
ward to give her for nothing that which
we refuse to others except in exchange
for fair equivalent.
1t may be that economic wisdom Tor
this country lies in the direction OF a
maximum and minimum tariff. But it
is decidedly unsafe to jump hastily to
such q conclusion.

Tho Golden Ago Of tho South.

The increase Of wealth, of agricultural
production and Of manufacturing activ-
ity in the Southern States is recited
with reasonable pride by the Manu-
tacturers' Record Of Baltimore.
Between 1900 and 1904 the assessed
values of property in fourteen Of these
States increased at the rate OF nearly
$3.50, OOO,o 600 year, and this averageeis
likely to be much greater in 1905. OF
the total value of our exports in the last
fiscal year more than 80 per cent. repre-
sented cotton and its products, and cot
ton manufactures rank fourth in actual
value in the exports Of manufactured
goods. The South's share in all the
exports exceeded six hundred millions,
and was Il per cent.
Next to New York came the port OF
New Orleans in the value Of its exports,
then Galveston, and Baltimore fourth.
Between March. 1900, and July Of this
year 942 national banks, with an aggre-
gate capital Of nearly fifty millions,
were organized in the Southern States.
The market value Of the Southern rail-
roads, estimated June 80, 1904, by the
Census Bureau at $500, 52s, 900, repre-
sented nearly fifth Of the total in the

Atlantic vessels travelling in the region
of the northeast trades have probably seen
a steam yacht of the coast Of Africa flying
kites miles high, and now and then sending
a balloon aloft. Scarcely any mention has
been made OF this interesting scientific
expedition from America, but II 1t sue
cee.ls the report OF Its results will attract
wide attention.
Mr.. A. LAWRENCE RoTCH, the director
OF the Blue Hill meteorological observa-
tory, has long desired to study the atmos-
pheric conditions above the trade winds.
They are practically unknown, though it
has been inferred from some study Of cloud
movements that above the northeast trades
the upper air currents move In exactly the
opposite direction; that, in other words, they
are anti-trade winds.
As such an investigation is expensive.
It is fortunate for meteorological science
that at least two OF its devotees are very
we'll to do men. Mr.. T1EssERENc DE BORT.
the we'll known French meteorological, has
q seagoing steam yacht which he placed
at the service Of Mr.. RoTCH. The latter
gentleman betrayed the other large ex-
penses, as he has often done In tho kite
living and other meteorological work that
has made the Blue Hill observatory SO
widely known. He sent Mr.. CLAYTON from
Blue Hill to direct the observations.
While st. Louis was sizzling last summer
Mr.. RoTcH discovered some astonishingly
cold weather miles above the exposition
city. The temperature recorded was
lower than any hitherto observed unless
artiflcially produced. Mr.. RoTcH wa the
first to employ high kite flying at sea four
years ago. 1t will not be surprising u the
self-recording instruments which be hopes
have been lifted above the trade winds give
important information about the tempesa-
ture,. moisture and winds In The high air
over the ocean.

find the Hon. HoKE SMITH, now or for
merly corporation lawyer, wrapping
that ancient chawbacon's toga around

some of them have no conscientious
