The brutal murder by a Korean fanatic of Mr..
Durham White Stevens, diplomatic adviser TO
the Korean Council of State, and the recurrent
disturbances on the peninsula, call attention
anew 10 the affairs Of that much troubled king
dom. Under what conditions land incapable of
solf-defence may expect to maintain its indie
perdence when its weakness and corruption put
f. jeopardy the interests Of another power, is q
question 10 which a varying answer will be
given as We cast our eyes upon Cuba and Egypt
and Hayti and Korea. Japan's contention is
that she has been subjected TO the burdens and
sacrifices Of two Continental wars, not TO speak
Of other grievous losses, by reason Of horea's
T.lr lessness and that in consequence the isl
and empire has been driven through force or
circumstances 10 the unalterable determination

THE NEW

The remarkable victory won by Governor Hughes of New York in
forcing a hostile legislature to pass his racetrack legislation offers 4
striking example OF the new politics. Governor Hughes did no. rely on
the ancient plan of formulating" at the word runs, with party lead
es in the legislature. He made lie bargains and offered no trades.
He did not send for the leaders. There were no back room conferences.
The arithmetic of polite. that mad a vote for Il gubernatorial bill equtl
to a commssionership or some other plum became obsolete.
BY consequence the political 3 in the legislature very quickly came
to hate Hughes. The bitterness Of that hatred passes belief. 1t is fro4o
on a matter vitality affecting their political IS well as personal relations
All their traditions and their private interests yere opposed to such ae.
ton, but the Governor drove them ike a flock OF angry and protesting
sheep. "
How did ne do it? He simply went to the people and explained his
policy. The test came in the recentby-election, in which Senator Wal
lace was the Governors candidate. All the powers of the Republican
and Democratic machines We're arayed in alliance to beat Wallace
Hughes went into the district, and in half a dozen speeches explained
his policies. He won, and that seteled it. The politicians can take q
hint more quickly than anybody. hughes had hit them with a club.
That is the new politics, and Inc honest politics. Roosevelt and
Hughes are its best exemplars-san Francisco Call

CrEANI1NEss IENGTHENs LIFE.

That cleanliness has al important part in the prolongaton of the
life of the human family is borne out by the fact that cities with good
sewer systems and pure water supplies are free from epidemtcs
In his address at the conference held at the White House, a few
days ago, George NJ. Kober said: Professor Finkelburg, Of Bonn, esti-
mates that the average length of human life in the sixteenth century
was only between is and 20 years, and that at the close of the eigh-
teenth century it was a little over 80 years, while today it is between 50
and 40 years. Indeed the span of life since 1880 has been heightened
result as the Improvement of the air we breathe and the water W e drink.
Indeed, We have ample evidence that with the introduction of public
water supplies and sewers the general mortality in numerous cities dur
ing the past fifty years, has been reduced fully one half, the good effects
being especially shown by a marked decrease in the number of cases of
typhoid fever, dhrrhoeal diseases and consumption. The vital statistics
of Great Britain furnish the proof, and our experience with American
cities confirms this conclusion.
The mortality of London between 1860 and 1879 was so per
1000 of Inhabitants; from 1879 to 1878, including the period of pests, it
was so per 1000; between 1928 and 1880 it was still 40 per 1000.
since which time it has steadily decreased to 151 per 1000 in 1905.
THE death rate in the City Of New York in 1904 was % per 1000;
from 1850 to 1854 1t was 3S per 1000; while in 1906, in spite of the
density of population, it was 1873 per 1000, practically a reduction of
so per cent, which according to Walter F. WILCOX, of Cornell University,
means a saving OF something like $4,000 lives each year in that city
alone.
The mortality in the Registration area in the United States has
the census figures OF a population of S3,757S11 in the Registration area
as a basis, the number of deaths in 1906 was 544,533; whereas at a
rate prevalent in 1890 they would have been 6ess54, a reduction OF
1IS per cent and a saving in one year of 1872 lives. If the same
ratio is applied to the entire estimated population in the United States
of ~82,574,195, the saving of human lives during 1906 alone would be
over 100000"

Modern Meat Cutting Device.

The Tonopah and Goldheld meat
market, whose management is ever
on the alert to secure anything that
will inure to the benefit of its pa
irons, has come to the front again
with a new piece OF machinery. II
is known as the American slicins
machine, which will slice any kind
of boned or homeless meat from the
thinness of a piece of tissue paper
to any desired thickness. The ma
chine works automatically, is strict

slices a minute. Bacon, boiled ham
and cooked Keats so further than
that cut in any other way, as a uni

There is no machine like this any
where IN southern Nevada, and it
should certainly be a trade builder,
The cost of the machine was two
hundred dollars. The public geuer-
ally is invited to make an inspection
of the machine and see It in opera,

Af the GramsI.

"rha Circus Girl" as produced by the Wayne Comedy Company at the Grand Friday night, proved an at. traction marked with the quality of real amusement. Heraided as a musi- cal comedy company of popular prices the troupe fails to fuinil the antici- pations of mediocrity induced by the advance notices, for barring lack of first class costumes and scenic prop erty, the productions so far have been pleasing in every particular. And In many points. the company is strong. with a strength of cast that deserves better setting.
 The voices, for tho most part, are weak, but not to an unenjoyable ade- gree. The stage carriage of the most Is as good as that of the performers of higher priced attractions. Alto- gether, the material for an evening of pleasure Is possessed by the com pany.
 The male cast is good, without res ervHtion, and thel four men of the com pany possess fair voices. As much can be said Of the leading feminine members of the show, without, how eyer, too much stress upon the excel- Iehoe of tn cir singing. All in all there ia the ability to amuse. and that being the mission of the musical comedy, the show proves itself worthy.

CITY HAS NOT RIGHT
 TO CONFECATE LIQUORS

Birmingham, Dec 1s.--tSpecial. )-- Judge H, B, ,Abernathy,. Of the inferior court here. today rendered a decision against the city in the case of steph- ems $ Kerr. vs. the City of Birming- ham. this being a suit for the value of 6 lot of liquors and beer which the city through the police department confseated and destroyed by throw- ing them into a sewer.
 Judge Abernathy rendered lengthy written report. He held that the powers of the municipality were dif- ferent to those of the State In sev- eraI instances. Among other things the judge says:
 Tt should be noticed. as illustrating, that in order to empower the city to seize, there must be expressed power in the charter, and that the Legisla- ture recognize this. Section 1291 del- sgatas to the. municipality the, right to seize all gambling ifnplenents."

The delayed arrival of the steamer Lucille, the independent boat plying the Alabama river between Montgon1- cry and Mobile was the cause of about as dramatic a scene at the wharf last night as ever happened outside of a theater.
 Quite a number of would Dc passefl- gers were waiting at the wharf last night for the arrival of the boat. among them John Henry Brown and wife, who with their goods and chat tels were hoping to embark for Mobile.
 But an embargo was sprung on the authorization of the Brown family.
 In the mud of that hollow mockery of what Is graciously yclept wharf. the glare of bonfires shot holes through the darkness, bringing to view among piles of freight a poll parrot In A tall cage, canary bird in snnall- CT cage, a small Collie. horse and several trunks and boxes. all compris@ Ing the goods and chattels of the Brown family.
 with startling suddenness the scene shifted and became extremely animated when several men headed by Paul Rap port walked into the glare of the fires. These men were deputy sheriffs who
