The DEMOCRATIC Search.

The fact that II is a far cry from

rent activity in the democratic camp

scarce a note; the trumpet call for
Governor Johnson was a casual one
that died away into echoes, and the
faint piping for Judge Gray was for
lorn and ashen. Were Johnson still in
the flesh the belated discovery of
last letter from Grover Cleveland pin
ming his faith to the Minnesotan might
have reawakened those trumpet echoes
into tones triumphant. But Johnson

Down in Missouri Folk songs arise on

gested the need of harmony the remi-
niscent word put the spotlight on
Judson Harmon, who has since been
bearing up under the illumination as
well as could be expected. Democrats
everywhere show a tendency to investi-
gate the respective merits of all dis
coversble possibilities, with a view to
trying out the party temper on each

The Assassination Of Prince Ito.

The spirit of the Koreans in resent
ment against Japanese domination is
again manifested forcibly by the as
sa~ssination of Prince Ito, formerly
resident general of Korea, while the
similar Staying Of Durham w. Stevens,
diplomatic adviser to the Korean gov
eminent, is still fresh in the memory.
Stevens was killed by Koreans who
m~istrusted him and who traced to him
wrongs which they had suffered at the
hands of the Japanese. Ito has been
murdered by three Koreans who
Immediately proclaimed themselves
avengers of their country. The same
bitter animus appears in both cases,
manifestly the general hatred of the
Korean people for their masters from
the island empire.
Prince Ito, foremost Of modern
statesmen in Japan, had every ambi-
ton for the aggressiveness of his coun-
try, and in exercising 1t invited the
charge of playing the tyrant in Korea.
His fatal visit to Hardin was for the
purpose of informing the Russian
minister of finance concerning Japan's
position in Manchurian affairs, insofar
as japan would willing show it's hand.
That the Russian minister approached
the conference with difidence and with
a preliminary avowal that he was not
empowered , to discuss questions of
policy, but only of the technical and
financial status of the Manchurian
railroad would indicate Russia's dis
trust of the existing situation and of
japanese intentions.
The assassination of Ito transfers
this part of Japanese procedure to the
hands Of some other, but 1t is safe to
say that competent statesmen will be
found by the mikado to play the Japa-
nese game. The Korean assassins, in
this case, as in that of Stevens, had NO
apparent motive but the avenging OF
personal grievances and political
wrongs, but it will be singular If Japan
does not seize upon this latest murder
as a pretext for tightening it's coil upon
the Korean government and extending
its influence in the far east.

Since then he has done efficient service

PacificatiOn of the Beers.

London gossip that Herbert Glad
stone may be made the first governor
general of United South Africa is inter
esting, not so much for its basis in
fact, as because 1t reminds the world
that Great Britain is about to embark
upon one of its most important enter
prises, the federation of it's South
African possessions into a common
wealth and the final pacifcation of the
Beers.
The thrill of the determined warfare
maintained by that desperate people
has not yet forsaken the fibres of the
admiring nations, who still stand
aghast at the price of Britain's victory,
which, as Kruger had predicted, fairly
staggered humanity. The establishment
of a Transvaal parliament and the Civ
ing of important place therein to Boer
leaders, was the first important step in
the reconstruction movement. The sug-
gestion of Herbert Gladstone to be the
head of the new confederation may be
regarded as another offering In the
policy OF reconciliation. The elder
.%Gladstone's memory is respected among
the Beers, for he was consistently in
favor Of peaceful settlement with them,
and it is believed his son would be
warmly welcomed by the Boer element,
Other South African interests can
hardly be expected to be quite so ready
to applaud the selection, for the reason
that with them the elder Gladstone's
alleged responsibility for the British
defeat at Majuba hill still rankles. II
is characteristic of Great Britain, how
ever, that 1t lives up to its public
pledges, and it is not unlike 1t to
mollify the Beers even at the expense
of their neighbors' feelings. The Beers
have already been assured that theiI
own General Botha is to be the first
prime minister of the South African
union, another indication that Britain
is determined to make thorough Its
work of pacification.
