Alexander III, Czar of Russia, hn yielded to the Oreat Destroyer 4he King who conquers all that Is mortal, whether In palace or hovel The death of a man who holds ab solute sway over a sixth of the habit able earth, and controls the destiny of mo-e than one hundred million people. causes us to pause and in thought look backward as well as forward. Russia, in the history of European nations, seems rather the story of few lives strong, both for good and ill, savage, cruel and despotic, yet gradually evolving characters more In accord with their time. Like silhouettes on a stormy, often a bloody background, Peter the Oreat, Ivan the Terrible, Catherine II, and even Nicholas, grandfather of the late Czar1, pass In review before our minds. That Russia less than fifty yeurs " ago was more thai a century be nina any other great European pow er In civilization, must be considered In any estimate of the character of her recent rulers. In 1855 Alexander II was crowned at Moscow and began a reign of nearly thirty years. Mild and peace-loving. his reign Is characterized by two events as we recajl It the emancipation of the serfs in 1801, anj the kindly friendship shown the United States during , our civil war. : Nihilistic wrath culminated In the as sassination of Alexander II In 1881, and his second son succeeded to the throne as Alexander III, though he was not formally crowned until 1883. By edu cation, character, and careful training In statesmanship and kingcraft, he was eminently fitted to rule wisely and well. Ills close relations by marriage to so many royal houses of Europe has tend ed to cemont a friendly bond between Russia and the other powers, and to bring RusHla In touch and harmony With, the political and Intellectual prog ress of' the present age, In power, the Czar was the foremost man of Europe, being uncontrolled by any legislative, or even advisory body. Pew men wielding this absolute sway over men, minds and money, would have succeeded In ruling themselves bo admirably. In character he was upright, moral and Just, with a keen realization of tho resiionslbilltlee Imposed on htm by tils position. That his life should end before he reached hla fiftieth year is due not to his own acta, hut rather to Inherited tendencies. Ills own words, when told that there waa no hope of his recovery, seem the keynote pf his character: "It is said that a man of my years should hate to die, though personally I do not cling over much to life. It God still deems my life of use to my country, be will make me well." From a tribute to the dead we turn an expectant look to the future. "The king la dead. Long live the king." TIIE T AMMAN T OP ASIA. The Chinese are frightened, at the advance of the victorious "vermin," as their emperor called! the Japanese in his proclamation of war, and are rumor! to have evacuated Port Ar thur, thdr naval stronghold! on the C'j'f of re-CfcMJ, as soon as the Mi kado's men were reported to have crossed the Talu river, which separates Corea from China. The port Is strong In front, where fortifications commend the water, but weak on the land side. The Japanese have won another vic tory, at the Yalu.on Chinese territory, end are in possession of the Chlneso fortress Just above Wl-Ju. The victo rious Japanese force was composed of riflemen entirely, and they routed the cavalry and infantry of the Celestials and took two field pieces and many muskets. Up to date the Chinese cav alry have not shown any great useful ness, and "dead cavalrymen" are even more scarce than they were said to be in the early part of our own civil war. Tet they seem to be no worse than the artillery, and fully ob good as the In fantry of the "Son of Heaven." These last abandoned the fort after a few rounds, although the Japs had no field pieces, and but for the cavalry, who covered their retreat, would have been cut up or gobbled up before they could reach the, shelter of the batteries fur ther down the river. This stroke gives the Japanese an eligible crossing place for the main body of the army, which waa expected to move at dawn yester day over pontoon bridges. The Chinese army seems to have massed on the road to Moukden, but before Sunday the Japs will be at them. The Islanders are evidently not wait ing for snow to fly. They understand the advantages of a short, sharp, and decisive campaign, and, In the Inter cuts of fair play and the progress of civilization itself, should not be inter fered with by any European power.. Whatever concessions they are able to wring from the big Aslatlo bully, China, they should be allowed to do, without "let or hindrance" from other powers. China is the Tammany of Asia and should be disciplined. Published In another column are reso lutions passed by business associates of the late Mr. J. K. Armsby, of Chica go. Mr. Armsby died at West Baden, Germany, on the 18th of last month, after a brief illness of three days. He was the futher of the distribution of salmon and other canned goods of the Pacific Coast, east of the Rocky Moun tains, and was well known in Astoria, having made fre-iuent vlBlts to this city. It might be well to say In this connection, that the first man to ex tensively handle Pacific Coast canned goods throughout the East was the late W. T. Coleman, of Sun Francisco, The progress which is made In the Southern states in the manufacture of the coarser grades of cotton textile fabrics, has occasioned some little con cern among those manufacturers In New England who are employed In a similar class of work. Boston Herald. Well, would It not be better, shouldn't you think, to provide free raw material for these people? We are told, in the tallest publlo speaking going on, that If only we give our manufacturers free raw material, they would conquer the world. Why not apply the promise and principle to cotton.
