EE——e—— RUSSIA'S POSITION IN 4814, The ukase of the emperor of Russia, placing the far eastern territory of the empire under the practically absolute authority of what is termed an “im- perial lleutenant,” strikingly “indicates the hold which Russia has upon the Chinese territory that has been ceded ble to the native population and that all hope of Russia abandoning the fruits of thirty years of effort is vain. 8o far as the United States 18 concerned, | | he asserts that its only interest In the question is the maintenance of the open door and that this is assured hecause wherever Russia is there is also Hll‘| open door. Evidently the writer is not very famillar with Russlan policy in this regard, since the facts are quite the opposite of what he states, At all events, the world is now fully apprised of the purpose of Russia in| Asla and how it will receive and treat this plain and unmistakable manifesta- tion of Russian policy s a question of far more than ordinary interest. What will Japan have to say in regard to the matter, which seems clearly to menace the Independence of Corea and there- fore the security of Japan? What will Great Britain think of a move that threatens the integrity of the Chinese empire? Finally, what will the United States have to say of a policy that Jeopardizes the open door principle for which our government has persistently contended ? P IN JURKISH WATERS. The decision of the president that the Amerlcan squadron should proceed to Turkish waters appears to be fully war- ranted by conditions as reported by our minister at Constantinople. It is shown that Americans and Ameriean interests are in danger in a portion of the Turkish dominion and it is clearly expedient to take some precautionary measures for the safeguarding of our citizens and their interests. The at- tempt to assassinate the American viee consul at Beyroot is very conclusive evidence of a feeling of hostility toward our people which should not be lightly regarded. For the attack on' the consul the Turkish government has promised to make amends, but it must be re- quired to afford all necessary protec- tlon, to our consular representatives where the conditions are such as to put them in peril, This our minister at Constantinople has been Instructed to demand, with a notification to the Turkish govern- ment that it would be held to a strict accountabllity for any lawless act toward American citizens. Doubtless assurances of protection will be given, but they will be more likely to be ob- served by the Turkish government if there is an American squadron at hand to see that they are carried out. Turkey is proverbially careless in regard to promiges, except where there s force available to compel attention to them. Of course the presence of an American squadron in Turkish waters has no significance in regard to the Balkan troubles, with which the United States has no congern. There is widespread unrest, however, in the Turkish em- pire and the opinion of our minister that Americans and American interests are in peril amply justifies the precat- tion taken by the president, which un- doubtédly will be very generdlly <ap- proved by our people. ST—————— SEPARATION OF THE RACKS. The view expressed by Mr, John Tem- ple Graves of Georgia, in his most ex- traordipary plea for the mob, that “geparation I8 the logicdl, the inevitable, the only solution of this great problem of races,” has received little support in the south. A few mewspapers have approved the idea, but the general opin- fon is against it, on the ground that it is not only impracticable, but also that the south needs the labor of its negro population. Thus a Memphis paper says: ‘“The white people in the states where the negroes are most nu- merous would not let them go. If Mr. Graves or any other advocate of de- portation will visit the cotton, sugar and rice reglons of the great Mississipp! valley and seek evidence to confute this assertion, he will find that he bas un- serve as the basis for a heavy politienl onslaught on the administration. All the mistakes of our hurriedly executed operations against Spain sink to insig- nificance besides the costly slips of the British in pursuit of the Boers GUNNING FOR LAND GRAUDERS, The hunt for land grabbers and land robbers instituted by the Interior de- partment promises to bring big game within reach of Secretary Hitch cock's elephant gun. The disclosures recently made at the Instance of Mr. Broslus, agent of the Indian some swindles pérpetrated by an organized syndicate of land speculators through the connivance of government ugents, have aroused the secretary to a realiza- tion of the high-handed methods that have for several years been pursued by venal officials who have promoted fraudulent land leases and purchases of Indlan lands in Oklahoma and In- dian Territory. A larger fleld of inquiry even than that opened in Indian Territor Oklahoma has been opened recently In Colorado, where alleged frauds have been perpetrated in the location of pub- lic lands. It 18 charged In the Denver papers that hundreds of thousands of acres of coal, stone and timber lands have been fraudulently acquired by a few corporations and individuals by the filing of fictitlous names of paupers or persons paid a nominal sum for the use of their names as bona fide pur- chasers. In this manner titles have been obtalned from the government, the lands being transferred to the big cor- porations and land grabbing Individ- uals. This 18 by no means the first instance when gigantic land frauds have been perpetrated by the filing of fraudulent homestead and pre-emption papers. It was a common practice not many years ago for railrond magnates to hire bogus claimants to file on large tracts of min- eral lands and especially on coal lands in Wyoming and Utah under the na- tional mining and homestead laws with the deliberate intent of monopolizing the coal traffic. It is an open secret that these frandulent entries were con- nived at by officers of the land office and inspectors, but nobody has yet In- voked the power' of the court to annul these fraudulent coal land transfers or seen fit to call the perpetrators to ac- count in the federal courts. It {8 to Dbe hoped that Secretary Hitcheoek will probe all these alleged land frauds to the bottom, and if suffi- clent proof of fraud is obtained, cancel the fraudulent entries and eall upon the Department of Justice to prosecute the perpetrators and their allles in and out of office to the fullest extent of the law. What a sharp contrast ‘as compared with the policy pursued by other rail- roads Is reflected in the advertisement of the Illinols Central holding out to all ghareholders of record & free ride to the place of meeting of the corporation from thé point on the company's line nearest the shareholder's residence. As a rule the railroad magnates who hap- pen to be in control do everything in thelr power to discourage participation of minority owners in the meetings of the shareholders that determine the management of the property. They have been known to fix the meeting at the most distant place, where a half dozen paid officers and directors vote proxies by the wholesale to re-elect themselves and continue the ruling clique in power. It is hardly likely that minority share- holders in any of the big rallroads have influence enough to change the election of directors as slated by the powers, but they must at least feel more friendly concern in the welfare and prosperity of the road if there is a semblance of consulting their wishes.

In general our troubles have three proportions according to our point of view. They are all fear- somely large In prospect; the worst of them is bearable In actual occurrence; and they shrink to & mere dot in retro- spect, The great bulk of our troubles are those of anticipation, and a generic term for them s worry. Most of them never hap- pen and those that do have shrunken so that we soarcely can recognize them. The longer the perspective the greater the trouble; so we find our worries more nu- merous and more wearing before than after we have passed the meridlan of our brief day. As we move gently, and we fancy a little more quickly, toward the sunset line and lance now and then back over the long and often rugged and tortuous trall, we see little of our earlier worries but phan- toms of the troubles that never happened, and fhese grow even more tenuous as we trayel from them until they are but a luminous vapor through which we view a day that was much fuller of sunshine than of cloud and a winding pathway so thickly flanked with honeysuckle and lav- ender that we cannot discern the ocea- slonal thistle and briar. No matter at what time we take this backward view we may see that most of our troubles never happened. There Is no #pecific like comparison for the cure of that dread malady, worry. No trouble is great as our fretting makes it and this ought to admonish us to let fretting alone. The old man in the book Is the counte: part of many an old man of flesh and blood, and also of many an aged woman. All of them have had lots of trouble, and most of it'never happened.: From the ex- perience of those who have gone nearly the length of the journey the young man and the young woman might say: “I am young; I expect to have lots of trouble; but as most of it will never happen, I won't worry about any of it." VICE OF PROFANITY, SECULAR SHOTS AT THE PULPIT. Cleyeland Plain Dealer: An Indlana min- ister and several members of his flock are reported to have lost all the money they put into the Co-Operative Turf assoclation ot New Orleans, because the postoffice of- ficlals saw fit to close the concern. There is little doubt that they would have lost It anyway, but the present clrcumstances give them the happy chance to rail at the officlousness of Uncle Sum's myrmidons Springfleld Republican: Why do not the American ofliclals in the Philippines go to chureh more? This serious question been considered worthy of an angwer by Bishop Brent of Manila. In the first place he pronounces false the report that our Protestum. representatives stay away from chureh in order to please, or avold dis pleasing, the Roman Catholics. While Gov ernor Taft attends the bishop's church in has Manila, the great majority of Americuns { do not go to any church, because they would not go at home. This seems a per- fectly rational explanation. Americans are Americans everywhere. Brooklyn Eagle: The pope misses his tramps In the country, his evening at whist and his game of tenpins. He finds the Vatican furnished with all the comforts of a home, but with no outside privileges, The circumstances which restrict him to that Inclosure are so political and from the point of view of the papacy so impor- tant as to be stronger than his power to break them or to break with them. He- side, when Leo XIII started from ihe Vatican for the purpose of accompanying the body of Pius IX to the grave, the fu- neral procession was mobbed and those who took part In it were bruised and wounded. That furnishes small encourage- ment for Plus X to go outside. Leslie's Weekly: We regret to read that a church in the neighborhood of New York has thought it necessary in order to ralse money to build an extension to ask each saloon keeper In the parish to give one day’s receipts each month for four months to the bullding fund. The case affords, perhaps, an extreme illustration of the absurd and harmful expedients resorted to by churches to swell their financial re- ceipts, expedients which tend to bring re- ligion into disrepute and directly to swell the number of nonchurchgoers, of which we hear so much complaint in these days The churehes and the saloons stand too far apart in thelr character and purposes to make It expedient to voke them to- gether for any purpose. The saloon may profit by the arrangement, but the churches never. Portland Oregonfan: It is reported that a oishop of the Episcopal church in New Jersey has fssued a mandate to churches in his dlocese that women be not allowed to appear in church bareheaded. Whether this is designed as a rebuke to the “new who s supposed to be growing “mannish,” or a hint to crusaders against blg hats in public places to mind thelr own business, or a rally to the defense of the Pauline idea that'it {s & shame for women to appear in church with thelr heads uncovered, can only be surmised. If the latter, it is pertinently asked whether the New Jersey churchman will be consistent and enforce the other rule that requires women to keep silence in churches and run the sewing soclety himself; or whether he Is prepared to enforce the Paul- ine views on the wisdom of refraining from marriage, which would abolish wed- ding fees. ‘Women Te: ra Sob for Liberty.

It is quite certain that among the * cred and inalienable rights” for which the fathers of the republic contended, none was more pacred and inallenable than the right to court and be courted.

And as teaching seems to qualify its followers for matrimony, there is no reason to suppose that matrimony might not, by a reelprocal operation, fit {ts votaries for the work of public instruction.

President Roosevelt, in his address lately to the Holy Name soclety, whose members had assembled In convention at Oyster Bay, gave some sound and much-needed advice which the young men of the nation would do well to lay to heart. The soclety in question is one organized to fight the vice of profanity, blasphemy and foul language. The president, In his commendation of the object of the soclety, laid stress on the necessity of keeping a clean tongue, and on the mischievous effects of young men and boys thinking it “smart” to be vicloys. to that power and of which it has taken possession In recent years, in spite of the opposition and the protests of na- tions that are seeking to prevent the dismemberment of the Chinese empire, The imperial order, just made public, clearly means the incorporation of Man- churia in the Russian realm.

Turkey is satisfied with the attitude of Great Britain and Germany. The Britons and Germans are still patiently collecting clean brain and a clean heart; for, no mat- ter how much the old excuse is siven for the profane habit—that one means nothing by it—it fs undoubtedly true that “‘out of the fulness of the heart the mouth speak- eth,” and if nothing really was meant nothing of the sort would be sald. Of the moral effects of the habit of using profane or objectionable language nothing need sald, as they are self-evident. But there is another phase of the matter which does not so forcibly assert itself. A clean brain is also a keener brain, a more receptive and a better brain for all practical purposes than a foul one.
