ABOUT RUSSIA AND JAPAN. From all appearances a struggle for supremacy in the far East will commence this week, between Kussia and Japan. For the past five years it has been manifest that each of these powers was quietly strengthen ing their positions and gathering fleets to decide the inevitable con flict The first intimation thinking men had of the coming struggle was in 1S99, when a series of articles ap peared without any apparent cause in the leading papers of this country, in which it was asserted that Russian sympathy was with the United States, and that at all times and under all circumstances Kussia had been our friend; and to thoroughly inculcate the theory into the heart of the American people and to create a sen timent in favor of Russia, twenty- or more daily papers were subsidized to defend Russia's policy in the far East and to create ill-feeling against Ja pan and England; and later, to up hold Russia in her wanton seizure of the Chinese province of Manchuria, These pro-Russian newspapers have done their work well, and today are receiving money to allow the biggest bully among all the nations of the earth to trample upon the rights of Japan. There is not a single princi pie of honor or integrity known in Russian diplomacy. As a nation it is the monumental liar of all nations, As to being a brave nation, it never was known to battle except where it had the advantage in numbers and position and success was absolutely assured beforehand. So far as brav ery is concerned, it is of that kind which is exemplified by a pack o wolves attacking an old sentinel bul on the plains, while another pack sur rounded a cow to steal the calf. In modern history the most disastrous campaign was that made by Napoleon against Russia when the French army retreated in the dead of winter from Moscow, and the Russians, afraid to give battle, hung on the French rear to cut off small bodies of troops, and butcher them like dogs, or to skewer the weary, starved, half-frozen, but still brave men. This, the first pic ture of Russian bravery, is the pic ture at it exists in the victorious march as it in the past fifty years has nearly doubled its territory and tyran nized the smaller nations of Centra Asia or extended its bounds to the boundary of Norway and Sweden in Europe and aspires to bring the whole of Europe under one mighty government. Russian gold, scattered among the leading newspapers of the United States, may succeed in preventing thi3 country from asserting the just ness of Japan's cause; but Russian gold can never create a hostile feel ing to such an extent that Uncle Sam will consent to join issues with Russia to attempt to bully Japan and Eng land. If the nations of Europe could put aside their little petty strifes and bickerings they would all unite in one confederation against Russia. After Turkey has been crushed, Norway and Sweden Russianized and Germany or Austria whipped a confederation will be consummated but not ti then. As the case now stands France is linea up witn itussia; Italy is courting Russian favor; Spain cannot take sides so she is neutral. Ger many would like to see Russia whipped, but is afraid to line up with Japan, England will give Japan a; the moral support possible if not act ual support. The United States loves courage and manhood and believes in giving the smallest man a chance and will never line up with Russia to pound the life out of the Japanese people. Japan in size contains approximate ly 146,655 square miles of territory but of that amount one-half is worth less for any purpose. The number of inhabitants are about 43,000,000. The government is a constitutional limited monarchy. As a power she was unknown until a few years ago when she whipped the C hinese navy, and Russia and several European na tions then robbed Japan out of the fruit of her victory. The Japanese fleet at the present time is equal to Russian's fleet in China and Japan water. The Japs can put 500,000 men in the field but they have never been tried. The Russians can put 2, 500,000 men in the field if necessary. The Russians cannot be depended up- on to fight as they are forced into le ranks and though they aro well rilled vet thev are serfs and under :ie control of the must despotic monarchy known on the globe. The total population of Russia and Rtw- sian possessions, it is estimated, num bers about 150,000.000 people, while le Japan nation is centralized on a small spot on the globe. The Rus sian Empire now governs one-sixth of all the land on the earth; and like lie horseleeches daughter crying: Blood, more blood!" so Russia cries continually, land, more land. Recently Russia has seized the Chinese territory of Manchuria, a dis trict of country about 500 miles wide and S00 long; a territory three times :is large as Japan in area. Japan's population is so thick on the ground that colonization in another country is the only possible relief. Coiva lies to the east of Manchuria and Japan wants to colonize Oorea on the sanu basis as Russia is going to colonize Manchuria. This Russia refuses to sanction and says Japan shall not do so. This is the whole issue and this the true statement of facts is what the hired newspapers of this country are trying to keep the people from knowing by bringing in other issues of a doubtful nature and telling us what a notable friend Russia was to the United States when we sunk the rotten Spanish tubs in Manila Bay and later the terror stricken sailors with their ships at Santiago at which Admiral Schley made the loup which put him out of the reach of th Spanish guns and let brave American commanders win victory for 01 Glorv. VERY QUESTIONABLE METHODS The late special session of the Ore gon Legislature developed the fact that the state is cursed by men who would disgrace the penitentiary to send them to it. the stealing or making away with the anti-gambling bill was a disgrace to the House ami to the Senate and the State at large, The man or men engaged in the dis honest, disreputable transaction ought to be sentenced to imprisonment for life, so as to strike terror to other anarchists. We do not think there is anv law that would fit the case. Had Brownell been a man worthy of the office he occupied, he would have caused at least a thorough investiga tion to have been made and not let anv man think that he knew all about the steal. The Senate itself, when it knew the bill had been stolen, and made no investigation, or if it did only a farce comedy was enacted; and thus the Senate heaped opprobrium upon ltseli. Ana now comes tne re port that two votes were checked up as voting for the game law and the bill was declared carried, and now af ter it has been certified to and passed by the Governor, it is declared to be passed illegally because of the willful ; negligence or rascality of officials. ! prey while Oregon makes of herself a laughing-stock for the United States at large. Is it any wonder that Ore gon is fifty years behind t'w other states, when such transacting are winked or connived at by the leading politicians and scoundrels of Oregon and the people themselves do not re sent such rascality? THE BROWNELL IDEA. When interviewed on the subject of who stole the gambling bill, Mr. Brown ell, present of the senate, said to the re porter that be did not "see any use in making so much fuss about so small a matter." It is indeed, passing strange that President Brownell thinks the theft of the bid and the corrupting by gam blers of the man who stole it so small a matter tbat fuss ought not to be made about it. Is the heft of bills at the legislature, then so common and so frequent as to be trivial? Is the corrupting of men tiiere so very natural and likely that it, too, is to be accepted? Are these things go usual, that President Brownell, in his legislative experience has become so familiar with them as to regard as whol ly inconsequential? Herj, indeed, is civic viitue of a proud type. The man who presides over the deliberations of the Oregon senate where it is the business to make sacred laws for the government of a great people, thinks it a small matter for a crowd of gamblers to invade the halls of legisla tion with boodle and there corrupt a public servant into theft of a bill in pro cess of becoming a law. This distin guished bead of a distinguished legisla tive body thinks so much fuss ought not to be made of the debauchmcnt of a legislative attache and of the d feat of the popular will by steallh and boodle. If the pronouncement of this fountain head of legislation is the universal stand ard of civic virtue, then what is the use of making laws at all, and why bother with their enforcement? Why bother to send to prison a fire bug that burns a town? Why bang a murderer? Cor- vallis Times. Brownell, Moody, Thompson, Ban croft and a lot of other men like them are being PERSECUTED by their political enemies who beliove in civic righteousness. Brownell for Congress.

TRIUMPH OP OSTEOPATHY. Senator Joseph B. Forslwr, oM)hlo, Responsible tor a (bunt StrlJ e of This Important ltr.inc.1 of fledical Science. In gratitude iur a marvelous cure el ected through tli application ot the Osteopathic treatment to an erstwhile ailing ton. now fully restored to the pink of perfect health. Senator Joseph iWmou Foraker, of Ohio, c.tlled a dis tinguished Ot-teopathic physi iau to the bsdside of his daughter, Mrs Randolph Matthew?, of Cincinnati, whoie little lny baby liegan hi earthly career a fen days Miice The attending Osteopathic physicians were Dr. Orella I.ocks and Dr. Clara Wernicke, of .V. Haddon Hall, Avondale, Cincinnati. Thi tie science of art and healiug is becoming very popular among the Itest people. It is recognized as a most im )rtant method of treatment, and is based wholly upon a thorough knowl edge of the structure of the human body. The art of healing practiced by the Osteopathic physician is similar to that of the regular practitioner, consisting in determining any departure from the normal condition and in removing al interference with tlie course of nature. it?

Richardson DRUGGISTS Rosebu hum aMuwariaw He claims that if the bones, liga meuts, muscles, blood and lymph ves sels, nerves, Ac, are in their normal jk sition and condition, and arc properly feil and exercised, it must follow, "as the night the dav," that thev uill do their proper work. If not, disease is in evitable. From the above statement, it will be seen by any one familiar with the differ ent "schoolf," or "method"," or !,sys tenih" of healing, that 0.-teoatliy i ab solutely unlike anv other. The element of mysticism is completely eliminated The human body is the most complirat ed of all midlines and the Osteopathii1 physician is the one who has made n special study of that machine, and been trained in repairing it. Tbat is not done by rubbing, or massage, or by th administration of drugs. He simply re moves the cause of the disturbance and controls function by scientific manipula tion, which is possible only to an etlici cient anatomist and physiologist trained in a thorough Osteopathic school. All parts of the body aro influenced by nerves that come from the base of the brain or the spinal cord; hence the im lortance of the spine in locating and de termining a disease. Furthermore, the blood vessels and the circulation 'of the blood are controlled by nerves thatorigi nate in the base of the brain and spina cord. Hence tho necessity of correcting anything wrong there in order tbat nourishment may bo cirried to every part of tho body and that all waste may be removed. In short, this new science and art of healing sees tbat the nerve action, the distribution of nourishmen and tho elimination of waste ijiaterin aro not obstructed ; thus nature is per mitted to do its work. Tho successful treatment of many chronic cases tba will not yield to other treatments, and the readiness with which most acute cases are cured, is sulficient proof that Osteopathy is sound in principlo and ef ficient in results, when practiced by trained Osteopath.
