The tone of the editorial utterances of the Rgseian and the Japanese press suf —ficlentl} indicates the belligerent dispo sition of both nations. Russian jour nals declare that Manchuria has been "sealed with Russian blood" and most not and shall not again be surrendered to Chinese maladministration or left to be a prey to Japanese ambition. Japan, if it is bent on building up a scattered empire on the British plan, is at liberty to turn to Australasia and other quar tern. Why insist upon meddling with territory over which the Russian colors have long been hoisted? Japanese journals, on the other hand, ayer that Russia is breaking her treaty pledges, that her attitude is uniformly arbitrary and agressive and that the pa tience of the Japanese people has reach ed the extreme limit and can be taxed no further. The present difficulties date from the war between China and Japan, which first awakened the world to the milita ry and naval efficiency of Japan and ex posed the helplessness of China. The odds against Japan seemed overwhelm ing, but through the superior skill and discipline of her forces she easily defeat ed China in every naval or land engage ment. The war was occasioned by a dispute about Core*. and while Japan was dictating terms to China, she was notified by Russia, Germany and France that she would not be allowed to hold Port Arthur, which she had cap tured. Japan bad to bow to superior force and has had the mortification of seeing Russia take Port Arthur and from that position of control extend do minion over the whole province of Manchuria. Nothing is more certain than that Russia does not intend to abanduu Manchuria, and unless check ed, her advance into Korea is simply a question of time. 0 Since then Japan has exerted every effort to put herself in such a position as to compel respect for her national in terests. She immediately went to work to provide herself with a modern nayy. and she has excelled ever other nation in rapidity of progress in this direction. Her fleet now includes seven battleships, two armored coast defense vessels, S3 cruisers, and 95 torpedo boats of various kinds, with 23 other vessels in course of construction. Her military organiza tion has also been assiduously perfect ed, and the discipline and efficiency of her troops, as shown Peking expedition, were a revelation to Euro pean military experts. The position of Japan has been, moreover, greatly strengthened by the alliance with Eng land. In case Japan is confronted by Another European coaltion, England ie bound by treaty to go to her aid, but due to the South African war, and industrial competition, she may not do so. The prindpal security for peace is Russia's comprehension of the fact that time is on her side, and she can afford to wait, meanwhile making such con cessions as may be nesessary to avoid war. But, according to St. Petersburg advices, the opinion in official circles is that the best thing to do is to have it out, and avoid further trouble by crush ing Japan now. If such sentiments prevail, war is likely to be the out come. The military experts appear to think that Russia is too strong for Japan, and the disparity of the two powers in size and resources is so great that for Japan to confront Russia looks like a pigmy attending to struggle with Hercules, but the contest may not be so unequal as it appears. It is available strength that counts, and in these days of long range weapons superiority of numbers is not necessarily an advantage. The quickness, skill and resourcefulness of the Japanese, and the perfection of their organization.will be powerful factors in determining the result of engagements. POLITICAL,. The Farm Journal has been canvass iag its subscribers for expressions of opinion on a number of public questions, including presidential preferences. It is worthy of remark that the returns " from the canvass show that Roosevelt is the almost unanimous choice of the Republican readers of the paper, while the Democrats are much divided, though Cleveland is the choice of almost three times as many as favor Bryan, who is second on the list, and just a neck ahead of Parker and Johnson. While Gorman is one of the "alsos." The Re publican record shows 33,106 votes for Roosevelt, only 733 for Hanna, and 1274 scattering. The Democratic record is. Cleveland, 13,838; Bryan 4,921; Parker, 4,352; Johnson, 4,245; Hearst, 1,445: Gorman, 179, and scattering, 2,941 The result may be considered an irnpor tant straw as to the preferences of the beople. MORE room is being made for the average young man to go west and grow ■p with the country. At 9 o'clock on the morning of November 15 the govern m -nt will throw open to settlers 760.000 Acres of agricultural land in the Chippe wa reservation in Minnesota. In mak i;g the announcement of the opening of the land Commissioner Richards, of the General Land office, admits that it is not first-class agricultural land, and that in some respect* it is not desir able for all purposes of agriculture. The Cass Lake and Crookstown agent of the land office will have charge <>f the opening, and will be on bands to attend to the filing of claims, etc. ALL of northern New Jersey, Staten liland, part of Long Island, New York City and adjoining distii<-t.-« were flood el during the latter part of last week. A great rain storm travelling east ward. was met at the coast by a tre mendous rain and wind storm from the sea. The sewers of lower New York •logged and the streets of the lower part of the city were flooded, while sev eral people lost their lives by accidents. The lower parts of Patterson, N. J. were inundated, a number of people were drowned, and thousands were temporarily made homeless. Floods and disasters were repotted from nearly every town withiu a hun dred miles of New York. In Philadelphia the street along the Delaware was flooded for two miles, When the tide came in. Trolley Cam to run to Butler. Rapid transit will be established be tween Allegheny and Batler before nest summer by a company of North siders. who propose building one of the most modern and be*t-equipped subnrban electric railways in the state. A char ter has already been granted to the corporation which will construct the line. The company will be known as the Pittsburg and Butler Street railway company, and includes the following officers: Maj, Max Klein, president: John Sauere, the well known hotel keeper, treasurer; Joseph W. Weinburg, secretary: W. W. Wyant. director and solicitor and Frederick Gwinner. director. , , The proposed terminus for the new line ID Allegheny is being kept a secret by the incorporators, as are some of the more imDortant plans of the com pany. It was admitted. how ever, by officers of the company, that the line will enter Allegheny at a cen tral location, and that arrangements are now being made in this connection. The railway will traverse the Evergreen road, the uce to the old Perrys ville plank road to the Three Degree road, then taking a circuitous route to Butler. The line will establish direct communication with a chain of small inland towns, and will add greatly to the development of a vast territory. Among other towns that will be en tered by the new line are Evans City. Brnsh Creek and Zelienople. At the latter place the line will connect with the New Castle system of street railways. The estimated distance tween Allegheny and Butler is 42 miles. The company will place large, comfort able cars on the road and furnish rapid transportation cheap fares and other inducements. At intervals of every mile or two sta tions will be erected along the Working plans for the construction of th<? road are being prepared and it is claimed that before spring a large sec tion of the new road will have been built.—Pittsburg Times. A Senator's Love Affairs. Senator Piatt of New York is in troub le with the women again—this time from having two getting ready to mar ry him at the same time. Miss Mae C. Wood has telegraphed her friends in Washington that she has filed a snit in the New York courts for $25,000 for breach of promise to marry. She left Washington last Friday night without the usual foimalities of ar ranging her leave from the money order division of the postofflce. It is stated in the circle of intimate friends of the parties that Senator Piatt's sons have exerted theii influence to bring Miss Wood to New York at this time. They are violently opposed to the marriage of the venerable senator to Mrs. Lillian T. Janeway, set for Thursday, October 15. The story is that Miss Wood has been on very friendly relations with Senator Piatt She was brought from the New York office to Washington by the sen ator. Last summer she announced to her frinds that she was preparing her trousseau and made a trip abroad to ef 1 feet her purchases. On her return las-t! week she was met at the steamship by Senator Piatt, aud the pair crossed New York to Jersey City depot very hurried ly. Senator Piatt's engagement to Mrs. Janeway had been previously an nounced. and Miss Wood alleges that the senator took pains that she shouid not see any of the papers. It was not un til after her return that she was forced to believe in the changed affection of the venerable senator. Among the more than a hundred letters which she and her lawyer are submitting is one, which reads: "Dearest: I cannot keep my engage ment with yon tonight. How can I live without seeing yon: Bat such is the life of a politician. CHUICCH NOTES. ' Twenty two new members were re | ceived into the United Presbyteriin chnrch at communion, Sunday.

This section of the United States is a Methodist, strong hold. (says the Pittsburg Times) bnt in saying that it is only faying what is true of any other section of the count'y The Methodist church appeals to the lib eral and democratic sentiment of the people, with its experience meeting, its revival and the belief that Beyond a doubt. The Christain has a right to shout. At the M. E. Conference in Pittsburg, last Monday, a resolution was present ed and adopted by a vote of 01 to 50 asking that general conference be over tnred to return to the five-year limit for Eastorates. Much surprise was caused y the vote, aa it had been thought that those in favor of returning to the old scheme were in the minority. Rev. E. S. White was returned to Butler; Rev. G. E. Cable was assigned to Prospect; Rev. Wagner to Browns dale; Rev Townsend to Kkastown, Rev. Garland to Evans City; Rev. Richards to Freeport; Rev. Pollock to Harmony; Rev. Emerson to Craigsville and Rev. Yonnkins to Mars. The general council of Evangelical Lutheran chnrch, in session consider ing the divorce question at N orris town last, Friday and pissed resolutions de claring the dissolution of marriage bonds "a crime against God which can not be mitigated or apologized for by any defects of the civil laws or any low ering of the standard prescribed in God's word on the part of the commun ity around, or those who may be regard ed leaders of public opinion. "Licenses issued by the state cannot be a guide to the conscience of either pastor or applicants. Every movement to promote a general uniformity of leg islation in our various state govern ments is worthy of hearty encourage ment, in the interests of strong morality that ultimately the peremptions con cerning marriage ana divorce may be the same in all the states and territories of the United States.

The speech of Judge Gros=cup at a banquet given by the "Marquette Club of Chicago attracted considerable at tention. His characterization of the latest phase of corporate legislation, namely, that it is the business of legis latures to furnish any kind of broad gauge charter th*t promoters will p;<y fees for, is uncompromising and un questionable. It is "in essence and ef feet to incorporate dishonesty.' It is "nothing lets than public policy .favor ing high prices and oppression; fur where there is the necessity to declare dividends on the creations of the im agination a means will be found." The remedy he proposes is a reconstruction of corporate legislation by the National Government. But in the absence of any guarantee that National legislation will be any truer to the public need than State legislation the first remedy is the creation of an outspoken, intelligent and clear public opinion. When that is so universal that every betrayal of the public interest by legislation in the interest of the corporations is at once rebuked it will not make much differ ence whether the enactments are by the Federal or State legislature ~^Mers ] I—IHBMH 1 — If m> I ■WI ■!
