Some surprise has been expressed
that many Of the leading officers in the
Japanese navy. including some who
command battleships under Admiral
Togo turn out to have been former
Wallets, walters and menials on Ameri-
can war vessels. Our navy officials.
however are not at all surprised. for
they have long understood that many
Of the japanese who have held posi-
tions as servants upon our vessels were
nothing more nor less than Japan
csc naval students, youths who were
sacrificing pride and comforts that they
might learn the art of naval warfare
and prepare themselves for the service
OF their country. Not only have some
OF our highest naval officials recognized
this fact. but they have voluntarily
helped the youthful japanese and aided
them in their ambitions. Nobody
knows. except the Americans and ia
panese commanders how many Of the
efficient ofyicers who made possible the
great victory of Togo received their in
struction OF cur war vessels.

Once more the Danish West Indies
are feeling unhappy IN their relations
with the mother country and are ex-
pressing renewed desire to be an.
nexed to the United States. 1t is about
time for this matter to be agitated
again. The matter has been talked
over in the islands themselves and in
this country for a third OF a century.
and while 1t is altogether probable that
this country will some time possess the
three little islands. thera Is now no sign
that the day Of annexation is close at
hand. A few years ago Congress was
favorable to annexation, and upon a
vote being taken in the islands the an
nexationists triumphed by large ma
jority. In the Danish parliament. how
ever. the proposition was defeated by a
majority Of one.

The question of the size of the war
Indemnity which victorious Japan may
exac. from Russia brings up the fact
that the largest war payment ever
made was the one from France to Ger
many at the close of the war of So
years ago. This was 1.O00.000,0O0. OF
which one-fifth was paid in 1871. and
the balance settled annually in Install
ments extending over the next three
years. France raised the vast sum by
the issue of government bonds. the
whole issue being taken within the Dor
ders of France itself. Moreover. by far
the greater part Of 1t came from sub
scription by the peasantry and the mid
die class capitalists. OF course. Rus
sia cannot attempt any such home sub
scription. and the principal part of the
indemnity for Japan will have to be
raised by the sale of Russian bonds in
other countries.

1t surprises most Maine people to
learn that Names largest city is locat-
ed in Massachusetts, and yet this con-
dition of things is figured out By the
promoters of the new State of Maine
Club which is making such prosper
GUS beginning In Boston. They say
that in what is known as Greater Bos-
ton there are now living over $4,000
natives Of Maine. while. according to
the last census Portland, which most
of us have regarded as the largest
Maine city. had only $4,000 natives OF
Maine. OF course. figures cannot lie
and still 1t will not come easy to us to
cpcak of Boston as tie largest Maine

The Washington Star says there
should now be an end OF the yarn that
the putting on of the blue by General
Wheeler made him unpopular with his
old comrades Of the gray. 1t had quite
a run for awhile. But at Louisville last
week, at the confederate reunion, the
famous Albanian rode AT the head Of
the street parade and was loudly
cheered all along the line. His old
comrades were proud Of him, and the
spectators testified to the heartiest
Talk of the same nature
circulated about FitZhugh Lee, but his
death easily disproved it. The fact is
that the ex-confederate who enlisted in
the army to help fight the war with
Spain performed an act not only Of
patriotism, but of marked personal
popularity. 1t caught the country
north and south. and it has led to some
of the best results that we, as a nation
have known in forty years. General
Wheeler is a welcome guest in any
state of the Union, and at a soldiers
meeting of either side. Maine demon
strated half Of this. three weeks ago.
and now Kentucky has demonstrated
the other half.

The dedication of a great monument
to the memory of the 1881 persons who
lost their lives by the burning of the
excursion steamer General Slocum Of
New York. a year ago. is a reminder of
the fact that no one has been punished
for the criminal lack of proper life-sav-
ing appliances which caused the awful
death list. Several steamboat inspec-
tors lost their positions as a result of
the catastrophe, and several men have
been indicted for criminal negligence in
the matter. One assistant inspector,
indeed, who approved the Slocum's out :
fit has been placed On trial, but the
federal jury disagreed and there is no
prospect Of another trial. And SO the
Slocum horror passes into history I'M
avenged. Not even have damages of
any sort been collected by the few sur
vivors Of that fateful excursion. 1t is
some satisfaction, however, to know
that the New York inspection system
has been revolutionized and that an
effective inspection service is guar
anteed, at least. for years.
