that are taking place In Asia between
Russia and Japan.
Under tho firm rulershlp of the Jap

China will become Involved. China
regards neither as a friend.
Tho coalatlon of Norway, Sweden
and Denmark In Joint terms of neu

Tho Russian navy will be destroyed
as fast as It Is taken Into tho Asiatic
waters, and Russia cannot desUt

Russia will never bo able to land

that Now York Democrats wllf namo

thoro will bo no Joint canvass this
year In Marlon county.
Tho Republicans argue, that they
aro always furnishing the crowds for
tho opposition to talk to, and to trade
off part of their ticket.
Tho Domocrats say they will chal
lenge tho Republicans to a Joint can
vass, and insist that thoy ought to de
bato tho lssuo with them.
If there Is not tho usual Joint cam
paign there will be more of a news
paper campaign than ever before,
though tho Democrats aro weakest In
that respect, having no paper but the
Jefferson Review.
Tho matter is not yet settled, but
will havo to be considered by the Re
publican county central committee
when It meets about May 1st.
Tho Journal believes that the people
generally would prefer a Joint can
vass, where they can see and hear the
candidates.
The question of a Joint county can
vass Is always discussed about this
time, and generally results in holding
tho old-fashioned pow-wow.

THE OLD HOR8E.
(Albany Herald.)
Some interest has attached to tho
proposition to sell tho old horses be
longing to the Portland flredepart
ment. They have served for many
years and outlived their usefulness In
this strenuous work. But in their
time their service was well given,
and the falthtul work or the years
has earned more than tho privileges
or tho salo block.
Every person or sense admires a
beautiful horse in the, strength and
beauty or his earlier days.
Tho saddest thing to a lover ot tho
horso is to see this noblo animal in
his declining years sold for a trifla
and condemned to a period of under
fed and overbeaton existence when
green pastures and repose havo by all
the laws of Justico and fitness been
enrned.
A great city can afford to do better
than this by Its faithful horses.
While the caplclty to enJoy""llvlng
remains these old horses should be'
turned out In pasture. When they be
gin to fall, the morclful blow that Is
their end can bo given. """"

In such a case Is perhaps a trifle ad
vanced In his thinking. '
But the laws relating to cruelty to
animals are not enforced a3 they
should, be. .
Something ought to bo dono to pro
