The Russians, at least, did not mistake
Toao's ships for fishermen.

By quick action and cooperation between
the Governor Of the State and the Mayor
Of New York city, the cheap electric light
measure passed by the Legislature will
he saved and the taxpayers will receive
its benefits. Nevertheless, Governor H1d-
GINS should hold rigid investigation OF
the msmanagement that sent the wrong
bill to the Mayor in the first place. The
error was discovered by the attorney for
the wicked gas trust. He called the atten-
ton Of the Governors legal adviser to 1t,
and made its rectifcation possible. A
peculiar situation, to say the least, when
the interests Of the State are guarded more
zealously by the lawyer for a corporation
against which 1t is proceeding than by ita
own EMPLOYEES.

The Social Democrats.

The first candidates nominated by q
political party to be voted for at the
municipal election this fall are those Of
the Social Democratic party, whose city
convention was held on Tuesday evening.
The nominees for Mayor and Comp
troller are Manhattan men. The candi-
date for President of the Board of Alder
men lives in Brooklyn. They are tho
candidates Of that faction of the Social
lists which polled an amazing vote for
EUGENE V. DEBs for President in this
city last year, and in close contest be-
tween the nominees of the two great
parties their poll this fall might be Of no
little importance.
In the Presidential campaign Of 1900
the Social Democratic party cast OFT
votes in the city for the head of its ticket.
In the Mayoralty contest in the follow
ing year, when Low defeated SHEPARD,
the Social Democrats polled 1884 votes
for their candidate. In 1892 for Gov
ernor they cast l6, 432 votes in the city
A year later, when MCCLELLAN won the
Mayoralty from Low, the Social Demo-
Gratis showed a strength OF 1885 votes
in the city. Last year they gave DEBs
for President 24,5l2 votes. Thus each
year since 1900 the Social Democratic
vote in the five boroughs Of New York
city has increased over the vote OF the
previous year This increase is due to
unceasing and intelligent campaigning,
a complete system of organization, ALI
ance with the labor unions, coupled with
the undeniable tendency toward social
ism which is affecting voters Of all po-
litical parties.
During these same years the Social
list Labor party has not increased its
strength as has the Social Democratic
organization. In 1900 the Socialist Labor
vote in the city was 8,972; in 1901 it
fell off to 62l3 in 1902 it rose to 0,ls2;
in 1903 fell away again to 5,205, and last
year it was Sill, or 1880 less than
in 1900. 1t is apparent that at present
the Social Democracy is more attractive
to the electorate than the more indie
pendent wing of socialism. Whether the
two will ever amalgamate is a question
impossible to answer, but at present the
feeling between their leaders is bitter
The Socialist campaign is carried on
tirelessly, from years end to years end.
The men who speak write and work
for it are idealists willing to accept pres
ent defeat in the belief that ultimately,
and soon, their doctrines will triumph.
The next Mayor of New York is exceed
ingly unlikely to be ALGERNoN LEE, but
Mr. LEES canvass will be one of the in
teresting incidents of the campaign.

The Golf Season,

The golf season has opened with sew
eral spirited tournaments and some sur
prises. To the dsnterested observer
it is plain that the ancient and royal
game has regained some of the popu-
larity which it seemed to have lost last
season. The entry lists of all the tourna-
ments have been large, and there have
been many returns of low scores. Golf
is no longer a fad, but thoroughly
established sport in which high level
Of proficiency is sought and is attained
by many players.
The increase in the number OF expert
players is natural. When the game
began to be played generally in this
country it was taken up by men no
longer able to perform we'll in the arena
of more athletic sports. Retired base
ball players and sometime wielders of
the tennis racket took to it with avidity
The young fellows looked upon it as an
old gentleman's sport and eschewed it,
But after time they began to discover
it's good points, and when they went into
it their 1.-the bodies and elastic young
sinews enabled them to snap clubs
like whips and send golf balls hurting
to admired distances. These younger
players have come into the front rank,
and now in every tournament the col
leges and preparatory schools furnish
entrants who press hard upon the heels
of seasoned veterans such as TRAVIS,
WARD and WATSON.
All OF which is excellent. Golf is a
moderate exercise, beneficial to health,
bathed in sunshine and open air, and
withal recreation which c,iltivates
self-control and gentle courtesy.

Oregon to Lash wife Beaters.

From Nt II0uisrlIe (KV) Herald.
The Legislature OF Oregon passed at its last ses
sion an act providing for the punishment OF wife
heaters by the LASH The law goes into effect this
month. The law provides that a man convicted
OF wife beating may be punished with whipping,
not TO exceed twenty lashes. This Is, however,
additional punishment only and exclusive OF the
old time punishment By fine Imprisonment,
which is still in force. The whipping authorized
by tho new law must be conducted within the walls
OF the county or city jail by the Sheriff regu
lary appointed policeman.

wear Of war will put s7sooo,ooo OF Japanese

year OF war will put $4,000, 900 Of Japanese
money into Manchuria.
Certainly the Chinese province. though
essuredly suffering many hardships by the
presence of two immense armies, is getting
abundant money compensation. because the
Russian outlay there is undoubtedly larger
than that Of the Japanese. Owing to the
long distance Russia has to bring her troops
through Manchuria she must be spending
far more there than is Japan.
1t ia reasonable to estimate that Man
ohuria has already received the benefit OF
$50 900 900 of Japanese and Russian money.

of the electric railway was used today
by the trains running between this city

motor cars which arrived from the Brill
works in Philadelphia about month
ago. are now in service, No. 10, the last
to be fitted up, having gone on the road
a day or two ago. The new cars are
nut on the longest runs and are in ser
vice from early in the morning until
late at night. There has been notice
able improvement in the service in the
past month. The new motors are heavy
and run smoothly without the jerk and
lar so noticeable in the old motors, and
their advent on the road has added
much to the efficiency of the service.
