Hard Work Mapping the War.

When a war occurs in foreign coun-
try one OF the most interesting Of occu-
pationk IS to maintain a war map, show
ing the positions of troops and ships and
the locations OF battles by means Of
flags. squares and circles OF colored pa
per and other symbols. Such a map
affords vivid impression OF the general
situation and enables one to follow the
progress Of campaigns with intelligent in
terest The present war. however, per-
mits but little satisfactory map making
of this character. There Is disconcert-
ing lack OF names OF places. The official
censors are deleting from news dispatches
and letters all but the most general geo.
graphical references. Even the post cards
of the British soldiers, sent back home
are In the nature of printed blank forms,
which permit no specific information as
to tho location Of troops to be gained by
the people In -ngiand. The official dis
patches are barren Of details. "The left
has retreated slightly" say the war offices
of London and Paris or ION our right we
have made satisfactory gains" or Our
center Is holding its own" Now and then
Q town or q city Is mentioned, after the
fighting has passed beyond that point

ments regarding the positions ara made
The same Is true Of the German dis
patches. and the Russians are even more
unilluminating. Official statements re-
specting operations which cover two or
three hundred miles contain perhaps one
or two geographical names each, and
these OF the least suggestive character.

Taxing Cities During War.

A dispatch from Copenhagen states
that a letter has been received in that
city by relative of the Gar of Rus
STA from that monarch saying that all
the money that Belgium has been made
to pay to Germany the latter country
will be forced to pay with interest In
East Prussia Disregarding the un-
likelihood of a declaration Of this sort
being made through such a channel,
1t is not at all improbable that Russia
will in fact exact war indemnities in
such German territory as she may
occupy in the course of the campaign.
Germany having set the fashion in this
present war In the matter Of taxing
conquered cities, 1T will be surprising
IL It is not followed with reprisals on
all sides But these indemnities are
only to be regarded as provisional and
contingent upon the outcome of the
war. II Germany wins ultimately she
can retain all that she has collected
from conquered states in the course of
the campaign, though possibly these
amounts will serve as offsets against
the final exactions from tho defeated
There could be no moral justification
for the imposition of great indemnities
upon the people of Il conquered state
at large in addition to the specific local
war taxes levied upon the Inhabitants
of occupied cities, but this scale is
altogether dependent upon the circum-
stances In which the war Is concluded.
II Germany wins SO Enthusiastically as
to leave her in a position to dictate
terms without restraint she can make
her own scale of exactiqns in the alb
sence of any sufficiently great neutral
force to compel a modification. There
is no binding international law upon

a European Harvest.
From the Jersey City Journal.

the Jersey Sity JOurual
The American tourists were equal in
value to a good harvest and this year
there will be a loss to Europe. II the
war continues into the season next
year this loss will be serious. from a
European point of view. 1t is estimated
that the tourists spend thousand dol
lars apiece in their tour. Some go
cheaper. others spend more. This year
there were 10000 In round numbers
accounted for. and they probably spent
more than the average, certainly If
their losses on baggage and extortton-
ate discount of travellers checks are
counted in. for there Is a stack of
trunks, suit cases and satchels at CO.

cathedral. all belonging to Americans
Over 100000 pieces of baggage had to
be abandoned in flight. II the war cuts
out the touring season next year it
should save at least s120.00o.000 for
home consumption. Americans will
have a chance to SEQ their own coun-
try. and to visit tho big fair at San
Francisco. II there were small hotels
with fare as good and prices as rea-
sonable as are provided In Europe
there would be many more tourists in
this country at all eeasons.

he resembles strongly in what may be
called the bossy instinct

is still young man, and at Albany

wonder is that with the capacity he has
demonstrated he has been content thus
far with managing the campaigns Of

office himself and tested his powers be-
fore the people.

Economy.

This question is asked: What ex-
cuse will the democrats offer. now
that stumping is beginning, for their
failure to redeem the promise of econ
omy made at Baltimore?'
The answer is simple. They will
probably make none. There is danger
In the topic, and this is a time to
avoid danger.
No cry in politics is more raucous or
insincere than that of economy. The
party In power is always charged with
waste by the party seeking power. The
party seeking power always promises
reforms and reductions If invested
with power Such reforms and reduc-
lions are never made. And there you
are. The game is as old as the hills.
All parties have played 1t. Old, and
vet ever new.
As q matter Of fact, the govern
ments expenses have been growing for
years. But so has the country. They
are now large. But so Is the country.
The two growths have gone hand in
hand The one explains the other. One
has been produced by the other. Had

The Barnes Issue.

William Barnes. tr., will not conduct
the republican campaign in New York
this year. He yields to widespread
criticism. and takes himself out of the
equation.
The new chairman will not be named
until after the primary election. He
will. of course, be acceptable to the re-
publican nominee for governor.
He will tackle a mans Job. What
looked easy a short time ago wears a
