Japan seems to be conducting at least two campaigns at once against China, and while one army la moving on Moukden, another, with the aid of the fleet, is Investigating Port Arthur. This Is somewhat distracting to the Chinese, no doubt, but It allows not only the alertne3, but the resources of the Island empire, which can put two great armies in the field at once, and still has a strong reserve ready at call. Tho war feeling In the land of Ifce chrysanthemum Is strong, and the most Intense patriotism marks the bearing of the people. Party lines have bee.t "obliterated, and "war Democrats" and peace Democrats, such as we had once In this country, are unknown. All are practically "for the administra tion." Rut China, with all her great popu latlon, has shown herself lacking alike in patriotism and energy. She Is cen turles behind her small neighbor In mil itary science, and might, almost, better have no army at all. If Japan Is let alone she will teach the bulky, barbar ous empire a needed lesson, that the world moves, and nutlons cannot stand still, dui must eitner go rorwaru or fall back. The news today Is that, with the appearance of the Japanese cav alry outside of Moukden, the garrison of 70,000 weakens, and the talk Is of simultaneous surrender of the ancient capital and present national arsenal, and of Port Arthur, the great naval repairing station, and the announce-: ment of the emperor's representative, Prince Kung, of China's willingness to yield to the demands of the resistless Japanese. , One reason for her helplessness Is given by the London Standard, which says of LI Hung Chang, the recently deposed chief viceroy: "He was the most unscrupulous viceroy of the whole band respecting squeezes. He Beems at lost to be getting found out, The helpless Btate of the army and navy was mainly due to him and his double dealing. The London Times evidently disap proves of any Interference by the Eu ropean powers, beyond the mere Inter vention, or even mediation, Is out of the question. This war will make Japan the leading nation of the Fur East, as she deserves to be. Her sun Is rising. Standard Union. A great deal has been said the past two or three days concerning the re sult of last Tuesday's election, and even the principal Democratic papers of the country admit that It Is a great Rcpub. lloan victory. It Is a victory due al most wholly to the worklngmen and manufacturers of the country, wro know, better than any politician can tell, how their business has been af fected by the Democratic agitation dur ing tne lust year, and by the tariff bill passed by the Democratic congress. They luve not been as blind as the Democrats have supposed. In every Northern state they have smitten the Democratic party, hip and thigh, for Its warfare on their Industries, All Its plausible rxcusea, all Its pretenses to dealr to build up American manufac tures by exposing them to mow severe foreign compMttlnu, bavo gone for nothing. Employer know that their profits have been cut down or sbolHh- cd, and worklngmen know that their wages have been taken altogether, rnd they vote as they feel. IT IS RUMORED. Astoria, dr., Nov. 13, 1894. To the Editor: It Is rumored about town that the contract between the county court and the experts employed by It to examine the accounts of the several county of ficials whose term of office expired last July, was In substance as follows: The said experts were to receive a com pcnsatlon of four dollars per day each. and In the event of their report show. lng a deficit of $2,000 or more, In the account of any, or all, of the afore said ex-offlclals, then, tia said experts should receive a compensation of five dollars per day for their services. It is hardly possible to believe that our county court would enter Into any such an agreement; and, In Justice to them. selves, the members of said court, If the matter is not done by official ac tion, should make publlo denial of the rumor. Another rumor Is current about town, which, If not true, should be publicly corrected. It Is to the effect that the report of the experts employ ed by the county court had been given out for publication, when one of the ex-offlclals, deeming himself aggrieved thereby, made a vigorous kick; where upon one of the present county officials withdrew said report, with the assur ance that It should be corrected. Some few believe said rumor, and that Is why It should be publicly denied, If It Is not true. It Is safe to say that the majority of the people In the commu nity do not believe the rumor; for, they say, "the experts, and not the afore said county official, are making the report, according to their findings." How about that city Republican con ventlon which was held last week? It Is rumored about town that the city committee held a quiet caucus, named all the delegates to be voted for at tha primaries (Including themselves therein) and nominated a ticket of their own choice. It Is Impossible to believe said rumor. It may be said j that the majority of the people In the city do not believe It; because many of said committeemen are known to be opposed to any thing which sa vors of ring rule, and such action as that described above, smacks strongly of ring methods. It is also rumored that we are going to have a railroad. With a splendid entrance from the open sea, a fine har bor, a magnificent location for a large city, a water level along which to build a railroad, of but fifty-eight miles In length, to a connection with transcon. tlnental roads, Is It a wonder that some one Is coming to build that little road, and earn our splendid land sub sidy? With a million and a half dol lars' worth of salmon taken out of the Columbia river yearly, to bo shipped over said railroad, when In operation, and not only millions, but billions of feet of as fine timber as there is In the world, waiting for shipment there over. Is It any wonder that thinking people are Inclined to believe the truth of said rumor? Another fact (not gen erally known) which should be taken Into consideration by any one contem plating the building of said road, Is that we are nearer the great hunting. fishing and sealing grounds of Alaska, than either San Francisco, or any of the Puget Sound ports. In connection with this, It Is rumored that there Is gentleman coming from somewhere east of the Rocky . mountains with eight hundred thousand dollars "In his inside pocket don't you know;" all of which said money is to be used In the construction of the Qobel road. Can It be true? If not, why not? RUMOR.
