The oft quoted irrelevant remark at
tributed to Napoleon Bonaparte, is not
borne out of history nor experience; that
"God is on the side of the strongest bat
talions, savors more of the fond rawlings
of happy lunatic, than of man who
put the eastern continent at his COM
mand. We will not go back to the days
when the "Man of Destiny" waved the
tri-colored flag over the most ancient
capitals of Europe, nor when he dictated
peace on a raft to the Gar OF Russia; but
simply look at the twentieth century era,
when the little "Japs" put to flight the
Russian naval squadron. 1t was said
Togo was stunning a fight. That his
forces were inferior to the enemy. Ad
mitted. Yet it must be acknowledged,
Admiral Togo knew something. While
the Straits of orea might not have been
a chosen position for the Jap feet, it must
be acknowledged that Togo became mas
ter of the situation, and the whole Of it.
The Mikado has acknowledged the valor,
bravery, and excellent management of
Admiral Togo, and does it become the
duty of anyone in America to doubt, or
even question, what the Mikado has said ?
Should the assertion quoted above prove
to have never been utteredlby Napoleon
Bonaparte, the world will be no worse,
probably better. Napoleon did his work
Christianity will do hers. This is as
certain as the heavens. Believest thou
