An Awful Prospect.

The clamps are closing on Lineyitch
and the Russian army in Manchuria.
What is left Of the Cars forces is
In imminent peril. Unless interven-
ton arises from some unexpected
quarter, thousands of Russians-and
thousands Of Japanese-will be killed
within the next few weeks, and thou
sands of homes in Muscovy and Nip
pom both viii be sacrificed. Although
1t is but one of the incidents of the
WTr, it is an awful prospect.
Yet Japan is open to no fair criti-
cism for forcing this engagement. The
attitude of many Americans that in
the face of the arrangements for
peace conference in August her army
should rest in the field, is wholly un-
reasonable. This battle must occur
tne war must go on-because Russia
mas made an armistice a practical i'm
possibility.
What substantial promise has Rus
sia made in accepting the peace over
lures of the American President? :?
None. She has agreed to appoint
representatives. that is all. When
those representatives make their re-
port the Car and his advisers may
throw 1t out the window if they like.
IL Will be no more a security of peace
than recommendation from our con-
sui at Tien Tsin would be security
OF the open door in China.
Suppose, under these conditions, that
the Japanese government were to
cease hostilities pending the award OF
this commission and that ST. Peters
burg were to disclaim that award
when ii is made. Russia would simply
have gained three months time for
the recuperation of her army and the
shipment of ammunition, which Line
witch seems to need sadly, and be bet
ter prepared in every way to make
Japan's victory as costly as possible.
Japan has the whip hand. She has
beaten Russia SO severely that Russia
ought, by every consideration of the
national welfare, discontinue the war.
But If she will not she must be beaten
more yet. And Oyama is about that

Now foE the Square Deal.

In the excitement and general
rsttles" OF the recent investigated
into the conduct of the rostoftiee De-
partment. one of its eldest and mos,
highly trusted officisls was indicted
for conspiracy and dismissed in dis.
grace. The accusation was no greaJ
surprise. In those days humiliation
was falling upon SO many officials
that no man was thought Immune.
But sae subsequent disclosure of the
Governments case WAS 3 surprise.
From the day the case was nrst out
lined until yesterday. there has been
no statement Of circumstance which
warranted this mans degradation.
He was accused, Indicted. dismissed -
that was all He denied the charge,
OF course, But he did more than that.
With his alleged co-conspirators he
proposed thar the Government inspect
ors examine all the records. public
and private. which might sustain the
indictment. and pledged himself that
il any wrong was discovered or any
loss disclosed he should plead guilty.
The investigation was made and. now.
as a result of it. and of nothing else.
the indictments against all the alleged
conspirators have been abandoned
This exculpation is, no doubt. a
wonderfully grateful release for John
7. Metcalf. His character is vindi-
Gated A life service IN behalf of the
money order system of the Govern
ment has been cleared of the only
cloud ever put upon it. But what of
these two years OF shame? What of
the loss of the Office which he priced
SO highly and served so loyalty? Does
the Government propose no steps to
requite the awful suffering which it's
blunder has put npon one of its best
servants? We canIot believe it, and
the people of the United States will
not believe it. 1t would be the most
fragrant violation possible OF Theo-
