EDITORIAL COMMENT.
Thanks to a careful study of the daily press we
are now able to make a very close approximate
estimate of the number of Japanese soldiers now
in Corea, ready for service. Though we cannot
give the exact number,-yet the experts of the
press figure it as between 1,300 and 219,000. This
ought to be near enough to satisfy the most ex
acting, jfc jfr
It is- not expected that the epidemic of Shaf
rothites will break out in Congress to any alarming
extent. Senator Tillman has one of the microbes
which he is carefully nursing, but it doesn't seem
to thrive. Perhaps the little black bottle con
tained an ' anti-microbe mixture, proof against
any epidemic of that nature. If South Carolina
mountain dew is an antidote for this deadly bac
teria, perhaps the essence of Kentucky blue
grass may be as useful. If so a new industry has
been added to the country, and a new use for one
of its most famous products.
It has finally been decided that Bryan will pre
sent Hearst's name to the St. Louis convention.
Finding that Tammany is still opposed to him,
Hearst is confining his work to outside states par
ticularly in the South and West, where he is rapid
ly gaining ground. Willie's barrel is doing some
effective work, and the chances are even that he
will capture the nomination.
William Randolph is following closely in the
footsteps ot the first great martyr of Democracy.
"Samuel, the unappreciated" and like his illustri
ous prototype "reform" and "barrel" are synoni
mous terms in his vocabulary. Go it, Willie; we
hope you'll get it; you are easy to beat.

When great enterprises looking to the advance
ment of the country's best interests are to be pushed
to performance the Republican party is always the
one to execute them. The Democratic party simply
assail and repeal. The Panama Canal is only one
ot the many great achievements that will stand to
the party's credit. The Republican party stopped
the spread of slavery in the Kansas coatest before
it got possession of the executive branch of the
Government. "
The second great act was the passage of the
Morrill tariff, which it compelled Buchanan to sign
just before he stepped out of office.
It saved the Union, raised a large army and
navy, created a vast financial system, and restored
the Government's credit, which had been lost un
der Democratic rule, and provided for an expendi
ture during four years of war that for a long period
. reached the enormous sum of $ 3,000,000 a day.
' Alter saving the Union and destroying slavery
it restored the seceded states to their old places,
and gave them a start under which theyjbave made
greater progress than they could have done under
the old slavery regime, and all this progress and
development has been antagonized by the domi
nant party of the South. The Republican party
has made them rich and prosperous in spite of them
selves, and with charactetistic ingratitude they
.work and vote against it on every occasion.

OUR BRAINY CONTEMPORARIES.
Of course we shall have the usual cynical re
flection from the hostile press that the closeness of
the Northern Securities decision destroys much of
its force, because a slight deviation in one or anoth
er mind on the supreme bench, would have turned
the verdict in favor of the railroads. The curious
history of the insular cases will be recalled, and we
shall be regaled with highly humorous speculations
upon the strange course of reasoning by which
Justice Brewer, for example, reaches a conclusion
with whose supporting premises he cannot agree.
Let us admit that no one has ever succeeded in
showing that the various paths followed by the ma
jority opinions on the insular cases were consistent
and logical in leading up to the majority decision.
What does that show, unless it shows that the
supreme court recognized, perhaps unconsciously
and unexpressed, that the hand of the Government
should be sustained, and that, somehow or other in
dividual views enough to form a majority of the
court, must be molded to the desired result? This
is not a very lofty or edifying view of the exigen
cies of the situation, but it is not thereby ren
dered impossible
At the time of the insular decisions we under
took to show that the Government was sustained by
the supreme court, because, underlying the discus
sions f evidence and statutory interpretation, there
was the conviction that the question at issue was,
after all, a political question. This thought was
imbedded in tne opinions in more than one place.
The idea was that in the administration of the new
dependencies of the executive department, and
especially the legislative department, must proceed
upon the lines that demonstrate themselves as
right and necessary to be followed, and that it was
the fitting province of the judicial department
to co-operate rather than stand in the way.
With all due respect to high traditions and con
sciousness of the supreme court, and with the be
lief that doubtless every member of that body would
deny, truthfully, that such agreement was had or
even contemplated, we shall nevertheless hazard
the conjecture that the merger decision was ren
dered the way it was from a consciousness in the
minds of the justices that public policy required
the sustention of the Government. When the
secrets of this time are revealed to future genera
tions, it will not be strange if it is shown in this
case as in others the effect was. as if the chief jus
tice had said, in imitation of John Marshall: "We
must sustain the Government; will Justice Harlan
find a decision to suit?' ' regonian, Man 16.
