No r1ore Hermit Nations

One noteworthy feature of the strug-
 gle in the far east is the way it has
 brought the hermit nations"-China,
 Japan. Korea and the United States
 to the very center of the worlds stage.
 To some it may seem absurd to class
 the United States with the hermit
 nations" and it must be admitted that
 the United States was never as com
 pletely isolated as were China, Japan
 and Korea a half century ago. But
 well within that period this country has seemed, especially in it's own citi-
 zens and statesmen, as entirely sufti-
 cient unto itself and as little concerned in any of the affairs of the world at large as any of the oriental hermit nations" Fifty years ago there were few men in this country who did not firmly believe that it's happiness and prosperity depended entirely on the degree of strictness with which it ad- hered to the hermit" policy. There are q few such citizens, calling tbem- selves for some unknown reason anti imperialists," still surviving, bCt the breed is, happily. dying out Fifty wears ago the United States, as to world politics and world movements, was and desired to be just such anoth- CT hermit nation" as Japan, China and Korea. Today there are no her init nations left in the world One hermit nation" Japan, has been wag- ing and winning a mighty war against Russia to prevent the gradual disin- regration and disappearance of anoth- CT hermit nation" China. Korea, caught in the tide of war, is in the full stream of the worlds events. The United States has from the first as- stunned the task of keeping the war within bounds, in the interests of civ Iization. It has led and the other na- lions have followed it's guidance At the beginning of the war it was the United States that took the necess nry ! steps to limit the theater of hostilities. But for it's action Ooth belligerents would have invaded Chinese territory outside of Mancnuria, other nations l would have been dragged into the 1 struggle, and China would almost cer- | tainIy have been dismembered by the | powers Of Europe, quarreling over their spells. As soon as civilization | perceived that the war had lasted long | enough, it was the United States that | successfully sought to bring about | peace conference. This hermit na- tion' has acted as the guardian of the | worlds peace all through this war and is today a most active, jealous and | conspicuous participant in the worlds affairs. The United States has at last awakened from it's dreaming to the facts and responsibilities of its na- tional life and is ready to do it's share of the worlds work. It will never be a hermit nation" again.
 The day of the hermit nations" is passed. The world has shrunk so much and is so crowded that there is no longer any room for them in it. They must play their part in ths worlds affairs, or perish off the earth

Powers In a Federal Court

Caleb Powers of Kentucky, three times tried for the murder of Governor William Coebel over five years ago, three times convicted, twice sentenced to imprisonment for life and the third time sentenced to be hanged. is to have a fourth trial. this tine in a United States court. and, let us hope. un:Ier conditions that will leave no ground for accusations of unfa3rness against the court or the prosecution.
 All the other trials have been open to suspicion, and there were features attending the prosecution in some of them which were notoriously preju- dicial to the rights of the defendant. There is a weIl-grounded conviction fin the minds of all who have carefully and disinterestedly followed Powers trials that he is entirely guilhess of responsibility for GoebeTs death.
 Caleb Powers himself is an interest ing character. He belongs to a good family of the Kentucky mountain whites. and was born February 1, 1S69. He was educated first as a county school teacher and then at Union col lege, teaching school part of the time he was taking his college course. In June, 1890. he was appointed a cadet at West Point and passed his eSami- nation. but was forced to leave the academy during his second year on account of trouble with his eyes. Later he studied law and was admitted to the bar.
 So it win be seen that Pc vers is a man of education and influence in his home and native state. Without fol- lowing his career further. it nay be said that his ambition and record

Washington, Conn, April 22.--Unitcd
States Senator Orville Hitchcock
Platt, of Connecticut, died at his sum-
mer home in this, his native town, last
night from pneumonia. The end came

tiOn.

committee on relations with Cuba at
the time the discussion respecting the
attitude of the United States toward
the young republic was under Consid-
GRAFTON in congress. Out of the delib-
eratiOns of the committee on the sub
ject was finally evolved a long declara-
tion regarding Cuba which was attach
ed as an amendment to the army ap-
preparation bill.

the senate in 1879 to succeed Senator
w. II. Barnum, democrat, who had
been elected to fill the vacancy caused
by the death of Senator OrTis S. Fer
ris, republican. His last reelection

Workmen.

Charleston, W. Va, April 21.-A
mine explosion in the Cabin Creek
Mining Co. S mine near Kayford, about
30 miles above here, late Thursday af-
ternoon, may result in the death of
five miners and the fatal injury Of
three others.
1t was only one month ago that a
similar disaster snuffed out the lives
of 20 men at Rush Run, near the scene
of the catastrophe yesterday.
The last disaster is said to have
been caused by a powder explosion,
the result of miners carelessness.
About o'clock, after many of the men
had left the mine, there was sharp
report followed by an explosion which
threw debris in all directions. The
tipples took fire and were soon a mass
of flames
Nine men were still within the mine
when the explosion occurred. OF
these, four reached safety with the as
ststance of friends. Three of the
number We're SO severely injured that
they are not eXpcctd to live. The re-
naming five men were still entombed
at late hour. 1t is believed that
these men are dead, as they were at
least 1000 feet below the surface
when the explosion took place.

TRADE REVIEW.
Business Has Been Somewhat Re-
tarded by Bad Weather.

New York, April pr. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Erratic weather has tended to make
trade reports somewhat irregular, but
on the whole the weeks results were
satisfactory. Early delays were fol
lowed by increased activity, particu-
larly in what might be termed Easter
lines. 1t is noteworthy that much bust
ness for fall delivery has appeared,
and more supplementary spring and
summer contracts are being placed
than jobbers anticipated. Mercantile
payments are also increasingly
prompt.
Failures this week numbered 200 in
the United States, against 241 last
year, and 81 in Canada, compared
with 2 a year ago.

Wheat Pool Is Shattered.

Chicago, April 21.-A break of five
cents bushel occurred here Thurs
day in the price of May wheat. That
the celebrated May deal attributed to
John w. Gates is being wound up, be-
came the general belief in board of
trade circles. Yesterdays sensational
developments lent color to the wide
spread opinion that Gates, realizing
his inability to swing the nearby op-
tion to the lofty mark he had in mind,
shifted the deal to the hands of Ogden
Armour and Valentine.
