'rhe Republican county platform
is published in full in this issue of
the News, and its careful p%erusal is
commended to the Republicans of the
district. 1t is a progressive plat
form, and each one or the twenty
planks comprising its political struc-
ture, is in accordance with modern
ideas of legislation tending to the
welfare of the people. 1t is practical
and sane in conception and there
would seem no reason why any Re
publican should not give the princi-
pies his hearty and constant support.
By the same process of reasoning,
1t is a platform that should appeal to
any voter regardless of political af-
f%iliations, whether employee or en-
ployer, or in whatever vocation oc-
cupied. 1t is a platform, which if
carried into effect means much to
the state in general and Ely and
White Pine county in particular, and
the News is of the opinion that the
voters will look upon it in that light,
and that the principles as set forth
will meet with the full party approx
al, and more. A vote for the Re-
publican county ticket as printed
elsewhere in this issue. is a vote for
the platform, and both can be con-
%sistently supported as representing
progress, prosperity and equity in
the administration of public affairs.

George Springmeyer has given up
the fight for the Office of attorney
general. which he has contested with
Cleve Baker. who defeated him by
50 votes. Springmeyer claims that
he was defeated by fraud. but did
not make any specific charges, and a
recount of ballots was commenced.
A Carson City dispatch in Fridays
Reno Gazette says: Just a few
weeks ago Baker insisted that the
recount which has dragged over
many months be either prosecuted or
dismissed. Then a decision that
county clerks must accompany bal
lots was made and this monumental
expense was more than Springmeyer
could stand. Thursday he threw up
the sponge and discontinued the con-
test. He placed the matter up to the
supreme court, and the contest is
now a thing of the past

EAST \ WEST.

Kipling has said IN one of his bal
lads that the East is East and the
West is West, and never the two
shall meet" and we have accepted
the remark as a generality. express
ing what we vaguely felt to be the
truth. 1t required an event like the
suicides of General Nogi, the hero of
Port Arthur, and his countess to
startle one into a full realization of
the fact. It is impossible to suggest
a parallel from modern western life
that would enable one to conceive
the motives which impelled the ae-
tors in this strange tragedy, says the
Philadelphia Record. If Moltke had
shot himself at the bier of Empror
William /, his conduct would have
been comparable. perhaps. to that of
Nogi; but the similarity would have
been merely superficial.
In a sense the latter's act was in
spired by his attachment to his de-
parted ruler; but the motive was not
simply affection. 1t was far more
complex, and from the japanese point
of view. far more exalted. \ desire
not to be parted even in death from
one who was dear to the bereft mour-
ner would not be beyond our COM
~prehension. But Nogi's act is regard
ed in Japan as a tribute to the names
of the departed Emperor and to the
%latter's divine power and gifts. When
the master spirit has flown there is
nothing left on earth for those who
served it to live for. This is the Or
iental, and specifically. the japanese
conception.
For a modern parallel We must
look to India, where the widow who
casts herself into her deceased hus-
bands funeral pyre is honored and
by her act confers honor at the same
time. In the history of our own
race il would be necessary to grope
into the dim past to find anything
suggeting the Japanese custom. And
while the companions in arms of
ancient Germanic. Scythian or pre-
Homeric Grecian c~hieftains some
times inundated themselves, the
sacrifices were more frequently in
voluntary, and slaves were dispatch
ed to keep a dead ruler company in
the spirit world.
The Samurai custom, which We
have just seer exemplihed, is a sur
vival of what We should call barbar-
ism. 1t brings home to us the fact
that japanese so thoroughly modern.
lied in many respects, are in
other essentials not far removed from
their ancestors of 1000 years ago. 1t
would have been extraordinary, in
deed, If the Japanese had been able
to slough off in half a century all the
characteristics of a bygone eiviliza-
ton, to free themselves of which men
of European nationality required two
or more milleniums.
