1t would appear from the recent ex-
poses that the. end of graft at Wash
ington is not yet. The postoffice scan
dial, the public land frauds, the cotton
graft, are followed by the nitro culture
scandal and crookedness in the Geo
logical Survey, the Bureau of Fisher
les and the Bureau of Forestry. Trust
ed officials appear to have used infor-
nation secured through their positions
to personal advantage before deliver
ing it to the government, and some
times to the disadvantage of the gov
eminent. When Machen and his gang
were exposed it was thought that if
corruption and graft existed in other
departments Of the government, the
warning supplied by the punishment
of the postoffico thieves would be suf-
ficient to deter wrong-doing. When
officials of the Interior Department,
United States Senators and Congress
men and Federal representatives in
the West were caught stealing public
lands it was again hoped that the
prosecution of these rascals would re-
strain others inclined to rascality But
such hope has been blasted, for the
more rascals punished, the more there
are to punish.

The present is what is called an off
year in politics. The President and
members of the national House of Rep
resentatives, besides the Governors of
about half the States. were chosen
last year. This year Governors are to
be elected in only seven States, and
in two of these they elect a Governor
every year. In Massachusetts and
Rhode Island 40 argument of conven-
fence, experience or economy has yet
served to convince the people that the
Governor should hold Office for two or
four years instead of only one, and
they elect their chief magistrates next
November In twenty-five States the
Governor has four-year term. In
Nevada, Oregon, Virginia and Wyo-
ming, four-year States, and in Ohio,
two-year State, Governors are also to
be chosen. Although September is the
usual month for State conventions,
both parties in Ohio made their nomi-
nations in June. The present Ohio
Governor is a Republican, and the
Governors of Rhode Island and Wyo-
ming belong to the same party. In
the other four States Democrats hold
the chief office. Considerable interest
will attach to the contest in Massa-
chusetts, where the Republicans will
attempt to elect their entire State
ticket. Last year the Democrats I'M
eXpectedly elected their candidate for
Governor, although every other State
officer and the Legislature were Re-
publican. Next year will be of much
greater political Importance, as Gov
errors are to be chosen in twenty-five
States and a new national House of
Representatives is to be elected. The
voters then can pass their verdict on
the policies of the national administra-
ton and upon whatever political is
sue may at that time be paramount"

Japan's peace terms, presented
Thursday, represent a maximum of
the demands that have been ascribed
to her in the preliminary rumors, with
the sole exception of the indemnity
clause.
Correspondents assert that no fixed
amount of indemnity is demanded.
Japan has purposely left this question
open as basis for negotiations and
therein rests the hope of the ultimate
agreement on a permanent peace.
The Russian ENJOYS. it may be said,
are not surprised at the Japanese de
mands. They have been prepared for
them by reading the newspaper dis
patches, which have accurately fore
casted the general tone of the peace
terms, and while the Cars represent
atjves were quiet and more reserved
than formerly, there was not notice
able any sign of depression that might
augur failure of the conference.
Speaking generally, Japan demands
an acknowledgment of her undisputed
suzerainty over Korea, Russia's evacu-
alton of Manchuria and establishment
of the Hay policy of the open door, the
cession of Port Arthur, the cession of
Sakhalien Island, the transfer to ia
pan of the Manchurian railroads and
the commercialization of the port of
Vladivostock
These terms have not been made
1I1h IA hrv |, l.
Russian or Japanese suites, but are
based solely on hints which have been
conveyed by them to close friends and
are believed accurately to reflect the
general nature of Japan's demands.
The more hopeful sign is the failure
of Japan to name any specific sum
that she will require in the way of
indemnity. 1t is on the payment of
indemnity that Russia hesitates most.
With that left open for discussion,
there is left way by which counter
propositions may be presented and the
road made easy for final agreement.
Reimbursement for the expenses
sustained in the war and the cession
of the island of Sakhalin constitute
the main features of the peace condi-
tons. The word indemnity" was
carefully avoided, the word employed
being reimbursement for the cost Of
the war.
No sum is fixed. the naming of the
amount being distinctly deferred for
mutual adjustment between the two
countries q flor fha IaDanpcn nynpndi-
ture has been ascertained. The Japan
csc say the cost of the war to date
has been $500, 100000.
