A Judicial System That Works.

Mr.. Castro of Venezuela has a jul
dicial system that is a model for a
dictator In most countries, when a
man sets out to be the boss and the
whole show, difficulties arise sooner or
later with those wretched persons
who have been trained in the law and
who seek a foundation of justice for
their views in regard to public policy
Not so in Venezuela. Mr.. Castro's de-
crees are signed, sealed and delivered
by his courts with automatic preci-
sion. The latest instance is reported
TO the New York Herald in the case
of the French Cable company. Mr..
Castro having obtained judicial deci-
sions under which he has now ordered
all the coast stations of this corpora
ton to be closed. Non -fulfillment of
the concession contract and participa-
ton in the Matos revolution of 1902
are the familiar grounds upon which
this extinguishing process rests.
Mr.. Castro has reached that stage of
publicity where there is really nothing
of a general character to be said about
HIS proceedings. ne has III iii OuSi
all the stages of disapproval and con-
demnatiOn-and survived them-and
he is now at the top. But a Venezuela
citizen who for obvious reasons takes
scrupulous care to conceal his own
name. has brought forth in the North
American Review for September a new
special instance of the Venezuela die
tators activities and this is at least
interesting enough to reproduce. even
if from the nature of the case it adds
no new element to ones estimate of
Mr.. Castro's qualities as a public man.

Wars and Debts.
prove

With the close of the war in the far
east, public attention is directed to the
financial problems which confront the
lately contending nations. The follow
ing figures are believed to be approx
imately correct:
Japan's national debt before the
war was s29O,OOO.OOO. It has been in
creased to 1891 100000. With a popu-
lation of $1,000, OOO, Japan now has a
debt amounting to nearly SCI per cap
tia. This is somewhat reduced by an
unexpended balance, estimated at
$175, 100000. in Japan's national treas
ury.
Russia's debt, by the operations OF
the war, has been increased from
$3,2s2. OOO, 900 to $3.7OO,OOO. 600; her debt
Arizona republican., 1905-09-11

The subject of this Venezuelan's COM
ment is the message delivered by
President Castro to the congress of
that country last MAJ, and here is one
paragraph:
1.-The president next relates that,
having been convinced that it was the
wish of the people. and in order to
strengthen the bonds of sympathy be-
tween the government and the nation,
he recently undertook a tour of the
country. which he does not hesitate
TO describe by the term patriotic jour
ney,' on account of the important re-
suits that have ensued. He dwells on
the minutest details of the itinerary,
but omits mentioning the most impor-
tant part of the story-the sad fact
that the cities and localities that he
visited were put to an enormous ex-
pense in receiving and entertaining
this new world car and his eXtrava-
giant suite, and that many poor citi-
zens who have not yet recovered
from the evils of the last revolution,
besides having been reduced to the
verge of bankruptcy and ruin by the
extra taxation that Castro himself
created, were forced to make pitiable
sacrifices in order to subscribe to the
entertainment fund, as nobody would
dare risk. by simple refusal. the dan
gers of blackmail or Imprisonment, or

The little Napoleon" is certainly
making Venezuela spin like a top, and
is apparently getting great fun out Of
the process. 1t lis a dizzy situation for
those who live or sojourn in Nene-
zuela, and particularly for those who
have financial interests in that coun-
try. But technically it is as legal
as any man could ask for-Mr. Castro
never yet having undertaken a single
job that his courts did not fully ap-
prove.

is something over $500 per capita.
Considered as a burden upon her
people and government, the debt OF
Russia is much heavier than that of
Japan; and the difference is even
greater than is indicated by the ex
cess of nearly SO per capita, because
of the sluggish and inert character Of
the Russian people, as compared with
the greater activity, progressiveness
and intelligence of the Japanese
1t was we'll understood that Russia
would have had great difficulty in Dor
rowing more money to continue the
war, while Japan's credit for the same
purpose was comparatively good. Now
that the fighting and prodigious ex-
penditures are stopped, both coun-
tries can readily place their bonds in
the financial markets of the world.
Neither Russia nor Japan has so
heavy a burden to carry as had the
United States at the close of the war
for the union. On August 81 1865. our
national debt reached S2,S44.OOO.O 900.
With a population of about $1,000. 900,
this was equivalent to a debt Of over
$50 per capita By the marvellous de-
Yelopment of our resources, this has
been brought below $1,000, 100000. and
the per capita debt is now less than
s12 per capita.
No such achievement is to be looked
for in Russia. What Japan may ac-
complish in the way of financiering is
problematical. The latter country has
given the world many surprises, and
may yet astound everybody by an un-
expected feat in fiscal administration

GEOGRAPHICAL CONSOLATION.

The governor of Georgia has just
signed a bill creating eight new coun-
lies in that state, which. of course, are
carved out of existing counties. The
names of these new administrative
units are interesting. They are Grady,
Tiff, Turner, Crisp, Jeff Davis, Jen-
kins, Toombs and Stephens. Three
are good Lost Cause names, and the
rest names made famous in Georgia
since the war.
1t is rather pleasant than other
wise to see the South perpetuating the
secession memories by putting good
secession names upon the local maps.
He would, indeed, be a mean spirited
man who would object to it. Already
such names had been given to Geor-
gia counties-there is a Tatnall coun
" there, and a Lee county and a
Twiggs county. One wonders they
had waited so long to honor thus the
names Of Stephens and Toombs.
1t seems almost disrespectful to call
a county JEFF Davis" but in a way
the nickname is sanctified TO the
southern ear. Texas already had a
Jeff Davis county, as well as a Tom
Green county The western and
southern people are rather partial to
these nomenclatory familiarities. Cen
eral Grant long lived in 10 Daviess
county in Illinois.
E,mbalm the Lost Cause in local
names, gentlemen of the South It's
story is dear to you, and also roman
tic. 1t comes all the easier to say so
when Georgia already has a Lincoln
county. a Washington county. a Sump-
ter county and Liberty county.-N.

An interesting Superstition.

Suppose China should refuse to rat
fly the clause of the peace treaty by
which Russia transfers all her rights,
as the lessee of China. in Port Arthur
and Dalny, together with the lands
and waters adjacent" The suggestion
is not impossible nor uninterezting.
The clause can hardly become effec-
tive until X is ratified by China. The
conditions of the lease are such that
it seems to have been nullified when
Russia was compelled to abandon Port
tory reverts to China with the rest of
Manchuria- China is not bound to
lease it to Japan. She can lease it
to whomsoever she pleases and is not
bound to lease it at all. 1t
may be said that it makes
no practical Difference whether
China recognizes Japan's title
or not. Japan is in possession and
China is not likely to undertake the
task of forcibly ejecting Japan. That
is true enough at present; but how
long is it likely to remain true? China
is rapidly developing into great mill
itary power and may find a European
ally to help her against Japan.
This European ally may be Russia
An alliance between Russia and China
is not unlikely and such an alliance
would not only rob Japan Of all the
fruits Of her victory but place her in
a position dangerous to her national
existence China has hitherto been
almost a negligible factor in the far
eastern situation. There is a chance
that she may soon become the domi-
nant factor. Awakened to a sense
of her own power and Importance
China may not be content with the
secondary and somewhat dependent
position in the far east assigned to her
by the japanese asia for Asiatics"
program. China and Russia have al
ways been better friends. diplomat
calIy. than China and Japan. \ Rus
sian alliance would have many attrac-
tons for an awakened China, jealous
of Japan, and an alliance with an
awakened and powerful China would
restore to Russia all she has lost by
the war ana TenaDlllJaIe Hef III the
far east. To be sure it is generally
taken for granted that Japan and
China have a thorough understanding,
but the only thing certainly known
about the Chinese government is that
it is thoroughly Enthusiastically. To
accept Japans aid in developing her
military strength, to lure Japan into
a weakening war with Russia and
then to turn against japan, would be
Enthusiastically Chinese policy.
All sorts of theories as to the future
course of events in the far east are
now in order. Many are affoat. In
the present state of general ignorance
of the real intentions of the interested
powers any one of them is as good as
any other. None suggests more inter
esting possibilities than that of an
alliance between Russia and China to
preserve the balance of power in Asia
against the predominance of Japan.

When physician tells woman, suf-

that an operation is necessary it, OF
course, frightens her.
The very thought Of the operating
table and the knife strikes terror to
her heart As one woman expressed
it, when told by her physician that she
must undergo an operation. she felt
that her death knell had sounded.
Our hospitals are full of women
who are there for ovarian or womb
operations!
1t is quite true that these troubles
may reach stage where an operation
is the only resource, but such cases are
much rarer than is generally supposed,
because great many women have
been cured by Lydia z. Pinkham's

had said an opera ton must be per-

the knife must be used to secure instant
