If the Czar is wiae be will keep

safe there, because the Japs oan't
get at it.
Russia is indignant but Japan
doesn't seem to eare very txuob.
She goes right along gobbling up a
transport or a war vessel whenever
the opportunity arrives.
'When it comes to high-grade
financiering, Maohen, the Postoffice
man, outclasses the Morgans a nd
Rockefellers. He has paid a $30,
000 debt in a short time on a salary
of about $3000 a year.
Representative Hermann has
been advised by the auditor of the
Interior Department that all sur
viving soldiers of Indian wars prior
to 1855 are entitled to military
bounty land warrants. ' '
Editors in Russia must not
publish war news until it has
first appeared in the offioial paper.
This must save the editors lots of
worry, and' at , the same time the
arrangement gives them a chance
to' say they had the news twenty
four hours before their rivals.
"Thirce armed is be who has Mb
quarrel juBt, but four timeB he who
gitB his blow in fuet" said Josh Bil
lings. From the way Japan- com
menced on the Russians there must
be a lew oopies of the sayingB of
the immortal Josh scattered among
the officers of the Mikado's army
and navy.
The international arbitration
plan does not seem to go farther
than theory. When the crisis
comes, affecting the welfare of na
tions, the primal instinot govern?
and force is the rule. ' The peao
of nationB as well as the peace of
communities depends on a common
point of view, having in its make
up something of unselfishness.'
An English physician has raised
a horne'.'s nest about his own ears
and greatly excited the Scottish
subjects of His Majesty by the
statement published in the London
Daily Mail, that instead of being
wholesome and nutritious food, oat
meal porridge is rapid y attaining
tho proportions of a ''national
curse." Of course the Scotch doc
tors come to tho defense of the oat.
Tue military authorities at Vi
enna, Austiia, are very enthusias
tic at the results of experiments
with a now bullet-proof uniform.
The uniform is an invention of an
A .19 trian tailor, and though a num
ber of shots from modern firearms
wora fired at it at a very short dis
tance, it successfully resisted all
bullets. It iB possible that this
now invention will be introducid
in the Austrian army in the very
near futuro, as it costs only about
$2 per man. -
Tius sympathy of the average
America1!, citizm is entirely with
tho Japanese in the present un
pleasantness, and everywhere ex
pressions of satisfaction nro heard
over the successes of the plucky
little fellows. Various reasons aro
responsible for this. One is that if

and a little fellow get into a fight,
to wiBh for the success of the little
fellow, and rejoice if he wins a vie
tory. Another is that Russia is a
.country without a friend, and her
policy of encroachment on other
nations has created a desire to see
her progress checked. Japan seems
both willing and able to do this.

Low Kates From the East.
The railroads have made a very
low passenger rate foni all Eastern
IwintB to nil points In Oreson, Wash
Itigton and California, effective from
March 1st to April 80th.
The rate from Chicago, one ay, is
3!i. A corresponding? low rate is also
made from points enst from Chicago.
Upon this Dasis the rate from New
York state points would be about $43
and from Boston about $43.
These inducements will hare a ten
dency to greatly increase Western
travel as there are undoubtedly a great
many people who have heard much of
this coast country who hayo been
waiting for an oppertuuity of this kind
to see it.

Why They Desert.
A plausible reason has been suggesle I
for the recent desertion of some Ameri
can blue jackets at Honolulu. The re
port is that sixty-four trained men-o'-war's
men jumped their ships just be
fore the departure of Admiral Robley
D Evans's Asiatic fleet from Honol ulu,
and they are said to be on their way to
Port Arthur to ship at their rates on
Hnsslan meno'-war. The rumor that
Russia was offering big bounty money
for skillful guuners probably caused
their desertion. Whenever .American
ships of war are within hitting distance
of the scene of a prospective naval scrap
between other powers, speoial restric
tions have to be put upon the shore
liberty ol the bluejackets ot the Ameri
can 8htps. When two naval powers aie
about to rush upon each other, naval of
ficers In tho American service observe
that despatches, always dated from the
capitals of the contending governments
and ottering generous .inducements to
American men-o'-war's men of training
and skill, infallibly appear In newspa
pers published in ports In and around
vhloh American and Biitish fleets are
ornlsing, They say t too, that the men
to whom tlu'ss hints appeal don't care
so much 'or the money inducements
that are thus offered as they do for the
prospect of a rattling good scrap.
