RUssO-JAPANEsE TROUBLES.

Baron Komura has recovered from
typhoid fever and will leave New
York this week for Japan.
The populsce of Japan are still re-
bellious over what they deem a dip.
lomatic defeat by the Russians in
the terms of the treaty of peace.
The world has not up to now
known why Japan abandoned her
demand for indemnity from Russia.
Ii was one of the mysteries of diplo-
macy which have not been explained;
and to the outsider looked inexplica-
bic. From q very high authority it
is learned that Wall Street was re-
sponsible for the abandonment of
the demand, and, indirectly for the
establishment Of peace. A number
of Wall Street bankers went to Ports
mouth as the spokesman for the
greatest banking houses of the world.
They represented every money lender
of Importance on the face of the
earth. They pointed out to the en-.
voys of the Mikado that insistence
upon Russia to pay the cost of the
war would certainly result 10 contin
uance of hostilities, and that the ex.
penses of Japan would surely foot
up hundreds of millions more. They
pointed out that Japan had reached
her limit of ability to pay interest;
that her bonds were selling in the
markets of the world at heavy dis
count. This is what the bankers
said practically: ave are near the
limit of our willingness to advaLce
you money. If you insist on carry
ing on this war you will find diff
Guilty in making future loans, and
the issues of your bonds already
voated will certainly depreciate in
ilalue. Consequently, the credit of
Japan is threatened" Baron Ko-
mura and Minister Takahira under
stood. The government was for war;
the money lenders were for peace.
And there was peace.

WE HAVE shown the importance
OF Democratic success i'm November.
In Mr.. Swanson's speech ION our first
psge) he refers TO the various off.
Gals to be chosen by the next Legis-
lature. Ii goes, then, without say
ing that every man who desires good
government and good officials should
see that the Democratic ticket, from
Its head to its tail, should get his
support. If you can't vote, talk for
1t among your voting friends. Vir.
ginians cannot risk turning the old
State over to RepubIicanism. 1t
would mean revolution of the worst
sort. The Republicans do not hope
for success. Their only hope-and
that shadows that apathy will
De found in our ranks and good for
tune will give them the Legislature.
Should such dire calamity come to
pass there would be such scramble
for the unexpected Offices that many
vultures would roost where eagles
DOW hold sway. Sudden success
would call for repetition of the
days of Malone, aud poor old Vir.
ginia would be "hung, drawn and
quartered." So we urge our people
not to lose sight of the Importance
OF holding the Legislature. In the
Northern Neck counties two clean,
able young men-John Curlett and
George Mason-sspire to represent
us in the lower House. One has OPP
position; the other may have. On

our farming interests need them;
our fish and oyster interests badly
need them; our school interests will
be enhanced by the power you rest
in their hands. and our every bust
ness and mercantile interest will
lind in them sturdy champions. with
eagle eye to watch for assaults and
with brain alert to advance our man

FISH AND OYSTER NOTES,

Through their action ia securing
an extension of 10 days time on the
oyster season last year, from July 20
to 80, the natural oyster growers of
Connecticut practically ruined the

be heavy.
The first receipts of oysters at
Baltimore this season, although not
up to the standard In quality,
brought so cents per bushel.
