Indemnity, nj least equally with Saghalien, is
d point on which the peace ENJOYS at Ports
mouth seriously disagree. Whether called in
demnity or reimbursement or anything else. the
thing is the same Japan wants il and Russia
refuses 70 give ii. How widely views concern
ing ii differ may be seen from the fact that as
we cited the other day prominent Japanese
authority declares that an indemnity is always
paid by a beaten beligerent as a matter of
course-a statement from which we must dis
sent-while on behalf OF Russia Mr.. De Mar
tens, who is all unsurpassed authority Oh such
matters, declares that Japan's demand is un-
procedented. and that no country has ever paid
az indemnity under such circumstances as those
OF Russia at the present time II is easy to
appreciate the feelings of both powers. Japan
has, for her own protection and for the welfare
OF the world, compelled Russia 10 retire from
Manchuria: she has done so at great expense
and she naturally thinks she ought TO be reim-
bnrged by tho power against which she had
TO take that action. The Russian sentiment was
epigrammaiically expressed by Mr. Witte when
ne said substantially that he would not agree
10 reimburse Japan one cent for the expend-
lures she had incurred in njuring Russia
Thus the issue rs drawn. Apparently there is
a deadlock, which must be broken if the negoti-
aiions are to result in peace We must still be-

TEMPERANCE AND FREE DELIVERY.

Probably the projectors of the rural free de
livery system never dreamed they We're eStab-
fishing au instrument Of moral reform. They
were serving the convenience and planning the
enlightenment of the community. They wanted
TO bring the country people into closer contact
with the world, but for adding to the basic
virtues of an already virtuOus pOpulace. that
was doubtless furthest from their thoughts. Yet,
if we may believe The Evening Wisconsin of
Milwaukee, the rural carrier, in that state at
least, has been potent agent of sObriety.
In the old times, it says-and the statement
is supported by the recollection of almost every
body familiar with conditions at night, espe-
cially Saturday night, in hanet-when the
farmers went to town for their mail they found
it convenient to stop at the village store to hear
the news, swap gossip, tell few stories and
get a few drinks, sometimes great many be
fore driving back to the farm. The trip To the
pOStoffce was Il convenient cover for the desire
TO drink The liquor dealer could safely count
the necessity which brought the farmers to
the postotce to supply him with a steady
trade. But in many country villages there has
been a notable falling off in the saloon patron
age since the mail went to the farmer instead of
the farmer going to the mail. When the days
work is done, unless he is really intent upon
drink, he is well content 10 sit by his own fire
side ana read the papers which have been
brought to his hand. OF course the drinking
man will not forego his liquor on any such ac-
count, but the continual temptation to fall into
drinking just for good fellowship is much
lessened and the village trips for recreation.
being taken more directly for recreation, are
more likely TO include wives and children and
embrace healthful pleasures
Rural free delivery while it brings the cOun-
try into closer contact with the rest of the
world, does so, in a measure. at the cost of the
small towns which have grown up as the cen
tres of rural life and trade Probably many
village grocers as well as village liquor deal
ers lament its spread. But it makes for
healthier country life, and legitimate business
developed in harmony with it, The country
grocer and shOpkeeper ought like their city
rivals to develop their mail order business and
to make periodical deliveries. There has been
some trouble over the activity of rural carriers
as delivery agents. but it would seem if they
might perhaps be allowed to do this work, under
careful regulation. for merchants on their own
circuits at least. thus giving the country people
who have no express companies to serve them
the benefit of a substitute for at least a local
parcels post. The express companies have no
reason to object 10 such accommodation, as they
do not give any relief to the country people in
general from the difficulty of securing small de
iveries, and the local traders who have most
strenuOuSly objected to the carriers acting as
delivery agents for urban invaders of their
territory would in this case be building up their
own business.

penses about Ss45 100000. OF this S410,000.0O0
has been raised from foreign and S2D.ooo,ooo
from domestic loans. the remaining $23o,ooO,ooo
coming from increased taxes. savings on otner
items of the budget etc The national debt has
been more than trebled. Such figures might
seem omnous for so poor country, but further
analysis of the situation indicates tnat japan
is well able TO bear the burden. That country
has developed industry. commerce ana wealth
at an enormous rate in recent years. In the
ten years before the war the revenue from taxes
increased by 120 per cent from state properties
by go per cent and from stamps by 1000 per
cent. This did not, however, mean overtaXa-
ton, but rather a relative decrease OF taxation,
for at the same time the foreign trade increased
by 800 per cent, the earnings of railroads, posts
and telesraphs by 400 per cent and bank de-
posits by 1.500 per cent The national capital
was increased by 800 per cent.
The extra war taxes, then. do not probably
constitute any greater burden than did the ordi-
nary taxes a dozen years ago. In 1898 taxes
and duties amounted TO nearly 70 per cent OF
the value of all exports. In 1904 they were
only 80 per cent thereof. Moreover, in 1904,
despite the disturbance of commerce caused by
the war, the japanese export trade increased by
10 per cent, and this year II is continuing to IN
crease at a handsome rate With the opening
of Corea and Manchuria to Japanese industry
and commerce there will be a further augmenta-
ton of prosperity. such as should enable the
empire TO bear the burdens and TO discharge the
obligations of the without serious difficulty,
even without any reimbursement from Russia.

DIR. LEACH'S ARSENIC PELLETS.

If DR.. Leach, of st. Paul, thinks that he has
a method of fighting yellow fever which has
merit. II was perfectly proper for him to seek
the opportunity to try it in New-Orleans. There
could not be any objection, either, to securing
letter of cOmmendatiOn from the Governor of
his own state. Whether not he showed good
taste in disregardng the opposition of local
physicians after he reached the Crescent City
is another question. Resident practitioners may
feel that it is a breach of professional etiquette
to invade their field of operations.
Again, Governor Blanchard has, Willingly or
unwittingly, shown disc0mtesy to the national
government in directing the State Board of
Health in Louisiana 10 give Or. Leach all the
facilities he desires for his experiments. The
President having been invited to take charge of
the task of suppressing the peStilence, and hav
ing committed the work to the Marine Hospital
Service, DR.. Wyman and his agents are now re-
spOnsbe for the outcome. They should. there
fore, have the largest freedom in the conduct of
their campaign. Their approval should have
been obtained before Or. Leach was permitted
TO take steps which may result in increasing
the number of cases of yellow fever. The
Minnesota physicians plan is to administer
medicine continuously for three weeks, with a
view TO securing immunity. and then to inocu-
late himself and perhaps a few volunteers in
order to show how ettcacious his preventive is.
Now, suppose IL Is not eIhcdcIOuS at all. VINO
would be to blame for the consequences? Not
Dr. Leach alone, but Governor Blanchard also.
Under the circumstances il would have been
wiser to refer the request to DIR. White who Is
directing the work of the national government
in New Orleans.
The eagerness With which large number Of
people in that city are said to have sought
treatment by DR.. Leach is not surprising 1t
illustrates a well known weakness of human
nature. Fairly we'll educated and reasonably
intelligent persons are all too prone to run after
novelties in medicine and 70 take upon them
selves the decision of questions which might
better be left TO trained physicians In the
present instance little harm need be expected
from the use of arsenic pellets. if they are taken
in moderation and if no attempt is made subse-
qucntly to put their virtues to a practical test
Almost the only bad effect which can be foreseen
is that an exaggerated idea Of the value Of the
system will probably be derived by those who
resort to it. But popular delusOns constitute
the source of such large amount Of human
happiness that ii IS not always worth while 10
lspel them.

I'VE liye. 1t is this cOmmonsense spirit when

colored race and to the whole country.
Every successful negro is a soldier fighting for
coiored rights in the most effective way possi-
BILE He is meeting and disproving the old
reproach that the negroes are incompetent and
that opportunity is wasted on them. He Is
gaining the material power which, in this prac-
ucal industrial civilization insuies respect and
consideration. He is responding TO a need OF
the community and gradually the community,
instead of, perhaps reluctantly. permitting him
to vote as a privilege, will want his vote as Il
bulwark of good government The straight
road Tor the negro to all the rights Of which he
is unjustly deprived IS the way of Industry and
