JAPAN IN KOREA.

Probably the bigger part of this war
talk is stirred up by Japan herself to
distract attention from the high-handed
operations in Korea. We only get ink
lings of this in the telegraphic news, but
those inklings are very significant of the
heap more that the japanese censors do
not allow to escape. We only know
that the Korean Emperor has left his
Capital in some sort of banishment. and
therefore the whole Government of the
country is now in japanese hands This
was anticipated, no matter what the
Japanese protested about Korean inde-
pendence at the time of the Russian
war. Korea and Manchuria were what
Japan fought for. She needs them vi
tally for her peoples expansion, and shc
regards them as purchased by the lives
of her soldiers and her enormous war
debt. All the same, no one hardly ex-
pected such ruthless energy in reducing
Korea, which has had a National ex-
istence for 500 years, is being made an
integral part of Japan, with japanese
officials everywhere dispIacing the Ko-
reans and Japanese troops marching at
once to overcome an appearance of re-
sistance. This is hardly to be deplored,
as the Government of Korea was about
as corrupt, tyrannical and inefficient as
a Government could be. 1t only existed
to rob the people, and the Japanese rule
cannot help being great improvement
of the condition of the common people.
Yet it is not at all wha. Japan promised
few years ago, and she may be max
ing this pother with us to distract at
tention from her real purposes.

NATIONAL TRIBUNE HEADQUARTERS
AT SARATOGA.

In accordance with its usual custom
The National Tribune has secured head
quarters at Saratoga near to National
Headquarters for the convenience of its
subscribers and friends. Its headquar-
ters will be parlor and rooms 60 and
20 in the United States Hotel, directly
along the piazza from the G. A. r. Ma
tional Headquarters. It invites all its
friends to meet there. and to make its
headquarters a convenience for receiv-
ing their mail and papers and for meet
ing their comrades. We need not say
that such a place will be very desirable
for comrades coming from long dis
tances to meet one another. They can
by correspondence make appointments
to be at National Tribune Headquarters
at such an hour of such a day, and this
will save them the tiresome and fire.

MuskEro-EATING FISH.

Muske5-htfnting has become of such
iliporta9ceT and dignity that States and
Kingdoms engage in it. we set the ex-
ample in our raid upon the Cuban mus
l;e.o, which did even more for the peo-
pie of the Pearl of the Antilles than
deliverance from Spanish oppression.
Count hIorrer, the Swedish Consul a.
sydney, discoTered that the pseudomu-
gi! signiiier.9Dr blue-eye, as the fish is
called in nlAustralia, is voracious feeder
on the larvae of musketos and that the
lively shallow water.
The Italian Government was inform
ed thru the Swedish Minister at the
Quiriuai of Count Morners investiga-
tions and asked the latter and the Ital-
ian Consul at Sydney to procure and
ship Immediately some thousands of the
blue-eye to Italy with the object of in
Producing them into the malaria strick-
en- portions of the Kingdom.
The blue-eye belongs to the family of
the atherinidae and is from one and a
half to two inches long.
AS matter of fact, nearly all, If not
all, of the fresh water fish feed on mus
keto larvae and will speedily devour it
if they can get at it.
The trouble is that the larvae is US
ually deposited in very shallow, stag
nant water. in which no fish can live.
The people of New Orleans are try
ing to exterminate the pests in the
marshes and shallow ponds around the
city by stocking the waters as far as
possible with little fish of any kind, but
the greatest and worst parts of the mus
o-breeding places are inaccessible to
fish
The dragon-f1y remedy has something
like the same obstacles. Dragon-flies
are death to musketos, but dragon-flies
will only go where the sun shines. while
musketos cling to the densest shades.

The Department of New York, G.. A.
R.. is hardly showing the interest to be
expected in the coming National En-
campment at Saratoga. Really the Ma
donal Encampment is the guest of the
Department of New York, and the vet
Grams of the whole Empire State should
feel that. This applies also to the w.
r. c. of New York, the Ladies of the
G.. A. R., Sons of Veterans and kindred
organizations. They should all take an
active interest in extending New York's
hospitality to the National Encampment,
and do all they can toward making the
Department show up as well at Sara
toga as other Departments have done
on similar occasions. This is the more
incumbent since there is but one Post
and one w. r. c. Corps in Saratoga
These need the cordial and constant
help of the entire State in their great
task.

The French President, NJ. Fallieres,
narrowly escaped death at the hands of
a wOuld-be assassin the other day on
the streets of Paris. 1t was the Ma
tional holiday of the French, their
Fourth of July. which they celebrate on
the 14th of July, and the streets were
filed with people from all the neighbor-
ing towns and villages. The President
was returning to the palace from Long
champs, where he had reviewed the
garrison of Paris, and his carriage had
just entered the fine, broad avenue of
the Champs Elysees when two shots
were fired at him from the curb, which
neither injured him nor any one in the
carriage with him The President was
perfectly cool and collected, and the
assassin was arrested at once and put
in confinement, while the festivities of
ing been interrupted but a short time by
the tragic occurrence. M Fallieres
seems to be making the French pretty
good President, tho they criticize him a
has been cutting down expenses so
closely at the Palace Elysee that it is
said he hasn't Il decent horse in his
stables and usually hires when he wants
any. To his painful thrift is attributed
the accident which happened to Queen
Maud of Norway when visiting the Pres
ident a short time ago. While she and
Nine. Fallieres were out riding one of
the horses became unmanageable, and
nearly carried the carriage over the low
coping of a bridge. which wouldn't have
happened, the Parsians say. if the
horses had been the Presidents, driven
by his own driver. instead of hired
horses. When NJ. Loubet was President
the stables of the palace were filled with
fine horses, for he was keen lover of
them ana handled the ribbons with
great skill, but NJ. Fallieres, who sue
ceeded him, has sold nearly all of these,
retaining, in fact. only three, and no
one of them good for much. He pre-
fers walking to driving, and when the
distance is too long for walking uses an
automobile. All Paris is laughing at the
Presidents parsimony, the comic pa
pers being full of jests on the subject
which compare him to President Grevy
in this respect, whose thriftiness excited
the greatest contempt among the peo-
pie of France.

AN oNERous RESPONSIBILITY.

The official circular sent out from
Saratoga contains the following an
InOuncement:
Commander of Missouri. Past AdiutGnt-
General under Ccmmanler-;n-Ch
Leo Rassieur, of st. Louis. and Ell Tor
rance. of Minneapolis, Mimi. for the
past Is years member OF the Ma
tional Council of Administration, and 4
member of the Executive Committee the
most of that time and the present Chair
man of the Executive Committee under
Commander-in-Ch Brown, has con-
sented to act as Executive Director for
the local committee. and now has charge
of the work and viii continue in charge
until Oct. Is. a0T. This will insure the
best experience of the past brought into
the work here with prompt, thoro and
intelligent dispatch of all business.
That is. Comrade Sterrett represents
the Commander-in-C Chief at Saratoga,
and also is the adviser and executive
for the Local Committee in all preparl
tions for the National Encampment The
National Encampment being a marked
ly different gathering from any other
great assemblage that meets in the
country, and none of the Saratoga peo-
pie having had the slightest knowledge
or experience of National Encampments.
they have wisely put the whole matter
in charge of an expert. Comrade Ster-
rett has attended number of National
Encampments, and has had direct Off
cial supervision of two. He knows by
actual experience where all the weak
points are, what are the main sources
of the troubles, annoyances. irritations
and actual injuries to the veterans and
their wives. 1t is made his duty to fore
see and provide against all these, so
that the 41st National Encampment Will
not be injured by any of the long
standing abuses which have marred the
pleasure of previous Encampments.
At the same time he is to advise and
assist the Local Committee, who have
employed him, that adequate prepara-
ton be made for the satisfactory enter
tainment of the immense gathering and
that their money be expended to tbs
best advantage, and the meeting lack
nothing of the complete hospitality
which we have enjoyed in other cities.
Comrade Sterrett is as good a selec-
ton as could be made for this onerous
position. Everything, however, that
could be done outside of Saratoga has
been done to help Saratoga and him
make a success of the great meeting
The State of New York has appropriate
ed $4,000 to assist Saratoga. Com
mander-in-Chief Brown has worked
tirelessly for months to make all the
conditions favorable to the utmost The
valuation has been reduced in it's exac-
tons and wholly done away for radius
of zoo miles from Saratoga. One particu-
larry valuable and unprecedented con-
cession obtained by the Commander-in-
Chief was rate of 10 cents for a round
trip any distance on all the network of
electrical and steam roads around Sara
toga. This will render the veterans in
dependent of the hotels and lodgings o.
Saratoga. as a few minutes ride at any
hour will take them to some one of the
pleasant little villages around the
Springs.
Therefore, all the responsibility for
the success of the 41st National En-
campment now concentrates upon the
of Saratoga and Executive
Director Sterrett

JUDICIAL Jokes.

Lawyers jokes are apt to be trifie
heavy. The court room is serious
place. and supposed to have room only
for serious men. Lawyers cultivate
gravity as part of their professional
equipment, and when one breaks the
dry-as-dust tedium with a mild, easily
understood, but entirely respectable
joke il is heralded as a wonderful eff
fulgence of Wit. Even the august Su-
pre'ne Court of the United States is moi
exempt. and Law Notes gives the fol-
lowing as burst of uncomfortable hu-
NOR:
They are having n pretty jolly time
4 story in which Chief Justice Fuller
runs, met an old-time friend, and, after
passing the time of day, remarked: You

the wag of friend. You probably
think so because I'm looking Fuller in
tn" face" Every time that one is told
there are hearty bursts of laughter from

If that had been gotten off in the
Court of Common Pleas of Posey Coun-
ty, Ind. it might have made a tempo
rary ripple, but when it reaches the
Supreme Court of the United States it
becomes side-splitting.

It is very clear that Senator Knox is

President Roosevelt, or he would not

president Roosevelt was surprised

with coat and collar off, trousers hitch
ed by belt and mopping his forehead.

ton and break the solid South are TAX
ins time by the forelock, and circulat-
ing the following extracts from the
Presidents books and speeches:
Slavery was chiefly responsible for
the coarse and brutal barbarism which
ran thru the Southern character.
The moral difference between Bene-
dict Arnold on the one hand and Aaron
Burr and Jefferson Davis on the other
is precisely the difference that obtains
between a politician who sells his vote
for money and one who supports bad
measure in consideration of being given
some high political position.
You brave men who went South in
the COS and barred your breasts to the
hostile bullets of the Southern outlaws

glory and honor that can be heaped

The anti-divorce agitators are as in
temperate and inconsiderate as REFORM
ers are only too likely to be. Because
few of the loose e-charactered smart
set have grossly abused the divorce
privilege is not the slightest reason for
returning to the senseless stringency of
the old laws. Experience proved these
to cause incomparably more immortality
as well as hopeless misery than our
laws of to-day. The great mass of the
people are not abusing the divorce sys-
TEN any more than they are habitually
breaking the commandment against
stealing. Yet the number of prominent
thieves being sent to the penitentiary
might indicate that the Eighth Com
mandment was becoming a dead letter.
The divorce laws of all the States are
the product of the best thought of the
people, and are generally working very
satisfactorily.

RAILROAD RATES TO THE ENCAMP-

L. q circular, dated Jaly l.. Comrade
Department cf Oklahoma, says that
which would have a Weakening effect on
the railroads west of the Mississippi:
Herewith Circular Letter No. 2, from
the Command lin Chief. While il is
not very definite, yet it is too evident
that the Transportation Committee ut
Saratoga Springs should do some very
quick and effective work with the rail-
road officials if they expect any general
attendance from this Department, or
any OF the Western country. 1t is sur
prising that these officials could be so
presumptuous as to suppose that the G..
\. +. comrades would quietly stand for
such n radical discrimination as these
proposed rates show as compared with
the Richmond rates of Il few weeks ago.
If there are any favors shown they
should be to those who preserved, rath-
er than those who tried TO destroy the
Union. These headquarters hope to be
able to make an early announcement
of more reasonable rates and more prac-
teal concessions as to stop-over priV1-
leges on the return trip
1t is a matter of fact that the rail-
roads have granted much lower rates
to Confederate Reunions-practically
to the Great Jeff Davis demonstration
at Richmond-than they seem disposed
to give to those who want to attend the
National Encampment In several of
the Northern States there has been a
distinct refusal to make any concession
whatever to Department Encampments,
while in the South the Confederates
have no trouble in getting satisfactory
rates.
There has always been more trouble
with the railroads west of the Missis-
sippi than with all the other roads. If
any roads should be favorable to the
veterans it is they, for after the war
the veterans swarmed out there by the
hundred thousands and conquered the
sayaee-baunted wilderness for them.
