JAPANESE VICTORT.
Tb world hat been patiently await-i-
v. M.uit of a not naval bat.l. I
, probably the. frt est In th worlds
.history, betn-een Uhe Japanew and
" Russian ne ts. War correspondent
have furnished he Associated Press
newspapers with simply their opin-,
Ions of the movements or tne neeis,
, but H baa been noticed that there ha
been a painful silence r" warding the
movements of To' fleet. Every
movement of the Russian fleet has
befB cabled to The Astorian, and with
the wireless telegraphy system, there
Is no doubt but that Admiral Togo has
been informed hourly of every move
ment of the Russian fleet. It was cer
( falnly a great stragetic movement on
the part of the Japanese admiral to
Induce Rojestvensky to enter the nar
' row Korean straits where ha would
have a better opportunity of annihi
lating it, than In an open battle on
the high seas, ,
The information furnished the press
has been misleading and to a grat
extent contradictory, but the public
has always manifested Implicit con
fidence In Admiral Toga and his su
perior fighting prowess, although out
numbered by the Russian IKet The
great battle has come off and a crush
ing defeat administered to the Rus
sian fleet, sinking or capturing 13 of
the finest of the. Russian fleet. What
effect this will have upon the war
1s problamatlcal. but one thing Is cer
tain, Omyha has made careful prepa
rations to administer Jun as crush
ing a defeat to the land fore's under
Unedvitch anJ Kuropatkln on land
as was administered by Togo on sea.
There seems to be no doubt but the
result of the recent. Russian defeat
-will nr?an the cessation of hostilities,
and Japan must certainly have had
this In view when It refused to make
terms of peaeet except as dictated by
"Itself, and it is in a better position, to
day to demand even greater conces
sions from Russian than ever before.
Jt is a recognized fact that Russia
-was one of the greatest powers of the
world ,and Japan was considered In
significant In comparison, but no sol
diers will fight for a country or flag
that has nothing to fight for. All there
was for th'im was to perpetuate one
of the most corrupt and tyranlcal oll
garachys known in. the world's history,
while the- Japanese were fighthing fot
..God, for homes and native land. This
Is what Inspires heroism In the brave
soldiers; it was what contributed to
victory In the war of the rebellion;
In the war wKh Spain, and Is an in
spiration that is productive of victory
in the past and will be In the future.-
Every American seems to sympa
thize with Japan, and this sympathy Is
actuated by the love ot liberty and
justice that dwells In every loyal Am
erican breast, and in every loyal sub
ytt of any other nation where liberty
dwells and tyrany does not rulB. Ty
rany will never make good soldiers,
and success In war Is won by nations
where the corner stone Is said upon
the grand principles of liberty, trutn
and Jutsice, Men inspired with a love
of country, of home and national hon
or fight for a principal, but where this
is lacking, defeat is the Inevitable re
sult. .
BOYS IN BLUE.
Forty years ago the great war of the
rebellion ended. Thousands of the
brave boys In blue are sl oping today
In unknown graves on southern bartU
fields. Many of the soldiers of the
war are r'.stlng in their narrow beds
in Hillside, Greenwood and Oceanvle'w
cemeteries. Today the loyal people of
Astoria will commemorate the achieve
' ments of the heroes both living and
dead. The ranks of the Grand Army
of the Republic are growing less day
by day, and In a few short years th y
will have Joined the great majority
of hearoe. It is both fitting and prop
er that Memorial day be observed, not
only In commemcra Ion of the achl w
, ments of those who laid down their
Jives that this country might live, but
to instill into the minds of the rising
generation the du y enjoined upon
them, in aft'r years to emulate tht
example of the loyal surving few and
assure them, that although their com
ra5es huve passed awa, they will
never be forgotten and their valor and
heroism will be stamped indelllbly
upon the minds of future generations.
Again the example and conduct ot
such as Jheae is a pleasure to plao
the record of a band of men wlu
have don their full public duties like
heroea and patriots. They .received
little from the commonwealth, yet of
fered to lay down Ihelr lives tor It
Thesa soldiers! young men on the
thresholds of their lives, took life and
limb and happlaesa, all they had or
hoped to have, or ara or hope to b,
and placed all on th altar of their
country.
A. word for tha nerolc deads ,
They hava performed tha noblest
and aubllmest act It is givea to hu
manity to achieve; they have given
their lives for their country. Theirs
wera not lives nearlng the close, worn
out with dissipation .broken with toll
devoid of hope, their cup of happiness
drained to tha dregs. Their Uvea wera
at tha beginning, unspent, everytlng to
hop, everything to achieve, everything
to live for. Before th prime of man
hood h4 bee nVachedf elr life'
work had been done and well don.
Their rest will be eternal their fame
secure. Their honor will be forever
unsullied, their memory wilt be like
sweet . perfume. They have received
and are ' wearing their crown and no
power on tarth will pluck It from their
brows.
The gratitude of their country win
be theirs for all time; their memory
wiU be ; cherished as long as youth
lovea life; - their xamples will be a
treasure and an Inheritance of inestlm
able value to generations yet unborn.
Through that bloody war our nation
received a new baptism of freedom;
we have placed patriotism above heroes
for future and higher aspirations. W
have placed patriotism above business
and valued liberty more than wealth.
The hearts of poet and ora.or have
been touched with a- holier flr: We
have learned diviner songs; Instinct
with national spirit. Now more than
ever, we are one people, have one lan
guage, and one law and under one flag.
And among those who have contribut
ed to this glorious result Is the braw
boys In blue.
It Is said that nations are ungrate
ful; that peoples are ungrateful, but
while this may be true In many In
stances, It Is not true where the stars
and stripes wave over the moat loyai
and) patriotic people th) world has
ever known. The noble Christian wo
man of Astoria will today weave bright
garlands of beautiful flowers to deco
rate the graves of the brave and trues
the children of Astoria will plant roses
upon the graves of the brave boys In
blue, and the winds from old ocean will
waft the fiagrance'of these emblems
of purity and love Into every home
where patriotism has been taught, and
the hearts of the people will once more
go out In sympathy to revera the m m
ories of the gallant defende: of the
nation's honor, where the stars and
stripes wave over the homes In the
land of the frt and lb home of the
brave.
