Major Rodic, an attache of the A us trian embassy at Toklo, returning to the fatherland, hardly catches his home-breath before he unwinds a thrilling and portentionus tale of Jap anese preparation for the early &ub- Juration and absorption of the Am erican republic, "hide,' hoofs, tall and tallow." They are. according to thia latest expose, working their foundries, fac tories, arsenals and yards, night and day, over and under time, shaping up war materials of all sorts and highest qualities .for the express and sole purpose of wiping us oft the face of the earth and with the loot recouping the losses and Infinite debts entailed up on them In their conflict with the Rus sians. The peculiar feature of all these sto ries Is that , they emanate from un American sources. Of course. In such a matter, It Is unlikely that any of our people are going to be taken into the Japanese confidence, but it does seem that a subject of such world wide notoriety might be shared, in some measure, with the party at in terest, and Borne hint of the design drift our way. There is so much of it afoot. It seems strange we are de nied all knowledge of the open and audacious play they are making In our behalf. The whole world is learning to re spect Japan, America along with tbe rest of the nations, and we are at a loss to understand just why she is so avid about engaging us in war. We have always been her friend ,and never more so, than during the last and gra vest of her troubles1; it beats us. Thank Heaven, we have the Hague Tribunal to fall back upon to fend off this demolition, this effacement, that confronts us. It Is not expected that we will put up any fight in the prem ises. Japan counts on that. She knows how timorous, how slow to wrath, and prone to peace upon any terms, we are. And this may temper the harshness of her onslaught and modify the measure of her exactions after we have capitulated. The only thing that disturbs her assurance of quick and supreme suc cess in such a war venture, is that she must do her bantam act between our bind legs and is liable to get stepped on In the maneuver. That we hear noth ing of this from Washington is ac counted for on the assumption that the capital is so darned far away from the seat of all this extraordinary bump tious endeavor, that the gravity of the situation has not percolated that dis tance. But it will get there, in time enough to enable us' to knuckle. grace fully and upon terms entirely tatis factory) to our little trans-Pacific friend. , North Head will please advise us of any untoward signs that may arise on the western horizon, in order that Astoria may have the first deal in this vital proposition. We need it in our boom! o r::'i'.Q ST. PATRICK'S DAY. sort of frlondly projri,.torsilp In this natnl memorandum of th great and Jolly Saint, Just out of sheer good will to the people with whom he Is the patron, pnr-exeeullonce, St. Patrick has become deoply om' heartily: Americanised by reason of the vast numbers of sterling eltlxons of hlfl nationality that have merged their deatlnlea with our and made this land famous In a thousand ways; and it Is one of the signs of our real appreciation of the Irish that we have taken over this pet ideal of theirs and almost wholly appropriated him. It would be a strange year indeed, In the United States that his natal day should pass unobserved and unhon ored and no man desires that U should be so; for there is much to Inspire reverence and stimulate manllneiw In the splendid history of the old patri arch, who, for a thousand year, has been an Ineffaceable standard for aU that la courageous, clean and good In the human race. May the honors nev er dim. nor the memory of the Saint! ROBBED WASHINGTON STORE. FORArKER'S FUNDAMENT. When a man of the supposed cali bre of Ex-Governor Foraker, of Ohio, becomes possessed of the greatest am bition known to American manhood, It Would seem, to the interested on looker, that he should have some lar ger and nobler Ideal, to serve as his predicate than the paltry feat of discrediting the man whose shoes he hopes to fill, upon so mean a hy pothesis as the "Brownsville affair." To date, this seems to be the only grasp he has on the fleeting aspiration for Presidential honors, and the far ther he goes with It. the less of dig nity and honor redound to him. That he, a Northern senator, snouid go to the South and the meanest of its ele ments, for a cue, a slogan, and polltl- Jo Qulkui Captured In Chicago With Jewelry Store Booty. CHICAGO. March !.

Much has been said of broken rails on railroads this winter. The break ing of rails in frosty weather cannot be prevented. It is a danger men acing travelers like a storm at sea. What can be done, however, when the danger threatens, is to double or quadruple the number of track-walkers and to compel ( trainmen to greater vigilance . . -o The New York Commercial's Inter national Weekly is letting the natives a hungry political machine is going tempestuous winds of March, while about seeking whom it may devour, of this country know something of the beauty, worth and attractiveness of Jamaica, the Bermudas and the Sandwich Islands. Home rule in the opinion of demo cratic legislatures in Missouri is a matter to be regulated by party ad vantage. The present legislature shows that it holds this view in com mon with its predecessors. In a spirit of accommodation Mr. Harrlman expresses a willingness to let himself down to the level of the United States. Perhaps the conces sion ocered will be greater before the toboggan slide ends.
