The democrats of Tennessee have com
pleted the final formality In the process
of stealing the governorship of that
.state. There never was any question
but that the republican candidate , II.

The season of college oratory Is again (
upon us and the nineteenth century
Demosthenes Is abroad In all parts of
the land. These oratorical contests ,
however , are conducted In all serious
ness and there Is no question hut that
they stimulate the youth to cultivate his
talent for public speaking. The rivalry
between the competing educational Insti
tutions Is the result of a laudable ambi
tion to carry olT distinction and trophies
for the alma mater , which shares heMs u
glory of the Individual contestant. 'TIs
pity that college rivalry does not mani
fest Itself more In trials of Intellectual
strength.

If the burden Is shifted over onto the

ment has been repeatedly exposed nIn
these columna. The question Is not
whether the taxpayers feel a particular
part of the burden , but whether they
feel It when added to all their other i
compulsory payments. The law should
not be Influenced by considerations of

eame the restoration of the wajn-s of
one year IIKO to nenrly 100.000 ojiera-
lives In the New Midland cotton mills

vance was brought about by the de
mand of employes , the advancement of
wanes Is none the lesu an evidence * of
Improved business conditions
anil of the eonlldenco of employers that
these conditions are likely to continue.
\Vhllc In most cases the advance has
not been very Kreat , yet In the ir-wri-
xatc It means an enormous increase in
the purchasing ability of the people.
The average number of employes In
the maiiufaclnrliiK Industries may be
ronclily estimated at about . " ,000,00ff ,
so that an average Increase per capita
in I heir wanes of only 50 cents a week
would Increase their purchasing ability
weeKTy . .oOO.OOO , or ? iH ; 1,000,000 a
year , but It is probable that the HKjjro-
Kate. Is xrcatur than this and that ( he
advance In wafes throughout ( he coun
try means an addition to the earnings
of ( he people of not less than $ ir > 0,000-
000. As to most of ( hem this Increased
Income will all be spent in supplying
requirements which they had to } ? et
without during thu time of de
pression , when they were cither Idle ,
but partly employed , and working for
small wages , and the good effects of
this expenditure will bo felt 111 every
department of business. As the Ameri
can wa e-earner's dollar has a greater
piirchiislng power today than over be
fore the working people of this country
ought , so long as the existing condi
tions continue , to have more of the
necessaries and comforts of life and
enjoy u higher measure of prosperity
tlntii at almost any other period lii the
country's history.
With full employment at better
wages and every dollar earned possessIng -
Ing a purchasing power greater than at
any previous time , taking into account
all the necessaries , U Is Impossible to
believe that any large proportion of tin ;
Falun-Ing men of America will array
themselves with these who advocate a
currency policy which would debase
the money of the people nml bring on a
disastrous financial and business ills-
furlmnce. The dollar which tlie work-
li'gnmn now receives for Ills labor Is
worth 100 cents. It doesn't matter
what form it is In It will buy as much
of what Its possessor needs as If It were
gold. That Is the sort of dollar the
wage-earners of America want , and to
give them one of Inferior value , a dollar
lar of less purchasing power , as The
free silver advocates propose to do.
would be to rob them. Labor is entitled -
titled to be paid In the best of money
and whoever would pay It In nn.v other
Is Its enemy. There ought to be no
doiiTit that the intelligent worklngnien
of America will Insist upon the main
tenance of that monetary standard
which assures them an honest dollar

The self-satlslled tone of the London
press Indicates that the English people
are highly pleased with the result of
their government's treatment of the
helpless little republic of Nicaragua. It
appears , however , that their gratlllca
tlon is not wholly over the fact that
a feeble country yielded to the demand
of the greatest naval power of the world ,
for there is no glory in such a triumph ,
but Is In part , and perhaps most largely ,
derived'from the belief that In cornice
tlon with this matter the United
has been taught n lesson.VHIi this
Idea In mind It Is pretty broadly inti
mated by one Journal that the lesson
conveyed Is that this country's assumeil
position of arbitrator in controversies
between the smaller American states
and Kurope will not be countenanced 01
tolerated by Kuropean powers , or at
any rate by Kngland , and then It Is
boastfully and untruthfully declared
hat "Kngland has never played the
part of a bully and never will , but she
must Io ) careful to see that her good
nature Is not too much presumed upon. '
Another journal proclaims that If Xic
aragua has played false "We will not
occupy but wipe Corinto on" the mai
and other places with II. " Perhaps thesi
papers do not accurately voice the geu
eral sentiment of Hugllshmen , but tin
fair presumption Is that they speak foi
large proportion 01' the Kngllsh people
It Is ( he nmnlfest'alioii of this ab
surdly boastful and self-sullleieut splrli
which engenders In this country a feel
Ing of hostility toward Kngland am
gives excuse Tor such expressions ol
Jingoism as have been frequent fron
Influential sources recently. The Hrlt
Ish press and people ought to know tha
there Is already a very couslderabli
number of the American people win
would heartily welcome a conflict , wltl
'Kngland , and that the tendency of sucl
utterances ns those noted must Inevlfa
lily be to Increase the number of suel
persons. The absurdity of the talk
about having taught the I'nltcd .Staler
useful lesson Is shown by tin * fac
that thu Hrltlsli

step for enforcing the payment of In

A rtKl'JMliAllLK DISASTKII.
The sad havoc wrought by the cyclone
vhich cut through a small portion of
vestern Iowa on Friday will excite
lost sincere sympathy for the victims
f the deplorable disaster. Cyclones are
mong those visitations against which
uman precautions aru almost entirely
selesH. The sudden severity of the
luinents destroys the ordinary protec-
lous against wind and weather at the
aino time that It endangers life and
roperty.
Aside from the awful loss of life , the
xtent of wlileh Is not yet fully ascer-
allied , the Iowa calamity brings n
ouble misfortune upon the survivors ,
vho arc left not only in destitute clr-
ii instances , but also witli doubtful
respects of being able to raise n crop

ent experience what undeserved destl-
ntlon Is. She feels for the unfortunateSV
yclonw sufferers of Iowa.

nuch can ho get ? To infringe upon
vomau's vocabulary , that depends.
Some light may , however , be gained
ipoii this subject from the controversy
hat has been waging over the payment
( the claim of the attorneys who prose-
uted the recent suit of the Klt/gerald-
klallory company which resulted In a
udgment of some ? : ! 00,000 against the
illssourl I'acilic Hailroad company. The
Inn of attorneys In this case attempted
o tile an attorney's lien in the supreme

iervices. The claim was referred ( o a
special master for investigation and
eport. Before the special master each
) f the two parties were allowed six
vilnesses to give expert testimony as to
he Justness of the charge. The following

xperts valued the services which the

I'stiniato of ? I'2o,000 as a fair price for
tliu work of which 'the successful lltl

The peculiar feature about this case
Is that this time the corporations are
the ones that are being compelled to
take their own me'dlclne. It was the
large corporations , and more particu
larly the railroads , ( hat began the prac
tice of retaining attorneys at unheard-ot
fees. It was they that raised the fee >
for legal services out of all proportion
to the payments In other professions. It
was they that made litigation to en
force his rights agalnsT wealthy cor
porations almost an Impossibility for tin
poor man. Having become accustomei' of
to sky-scraping fees In defending cor
porations , the lawyers now Insist upon
rendering enormous bills on every pos
sible occasion , and they are always able
to tlrnl all the expert witnesses they to
may want to testify that they have no
charged half enough. The value of lega
services has no upper limit. Is

bodily from the practice In the ( Serman
universities , WlS-o a student la seldom

essfnl military conllict wllh China , ( he
ubject of the future of the victor
ountry Is one ( hat has an especially
, ) ertlnent Interest. Will Japan be able

' he has reached ? Will she succeed in

. . Ivilix.etl great powers ? What will be
he effects of the recent war on the In-

lustrlnl and commercial relations of

Itiestlons . that naturally suggest ( hem-
elves and upon which tin * Japanese
nnilster ' at Washington has attempted
, o throw some light In an article In the
'in-rent ' North American Itevlew.
rT
The Japanese minister insists that
vhatever the merits of the recent con-
roversy with China and However great
he advantages achieved , no thoughtful
lapanese can regard them as the tilti-
nate object or as the consummation
if their hopes.Military strength and
ullltary aptitude are vital factors In
lie well-being of every nation , but they
ire not all. Japan has carefully develnn
> pod her military affairs only as an In-
llspensabli ! adjunct to her national \Vel-
'are , but she has not permitted them j
o absorb any greater share of atten'u
tl)1 ( ( linn they would have received I
roni any otljer nation In similar cir-
cumstances. YY'hen It Is assumed that
Japanese progress since the/restoration
las been conlinetl to the acquisition of
nllltary strength and that her future
toTTcy will be directed along military
lues , the idea is an entirely mistaken
MU . The standing army of Japan Islet
lot large in proportion to the popula
tion ! and It is recruited from every
class. Its formation on Its present
lasts is , we are told , only one of a num-
) er of changes which have been Intro-
luced lulo the domestic polity of Japan ,
lot nt haphazard or by accident , but
.leliberately and In pursuance of a gen
eral , harmonious plan.
The center of the recent progress of
Japan resFs upon the establishment of
i constitutional and parliamentary form
> f government , perfected only in 1SX ! ) .
This ' ' ' Important step was not , as fre-
Hiently supposed , the result of a sud
den whim or hasty resolution , but of a
cautiously laid and slowly unfolded de
sign. The emperor declared his Inten
tion of conferring a constitution upon
Ids subjects long years before the prom-
was actually redeemed. One change
after another was made in the methods
of administering public affairs with
the object of leading up and preparing n
for thu final transformation of the
roveriiment. .Most Important among ,
these changes was the establishment
prefoetural and municipal assemblies ,
each having a certain control of local
affairs and designed to educate the people 11
ple In the exercise of the rights which
later on they were to be called upon
employ In n wider Held. The war
shows that this constitutional govern-
firmly established as one of the In '
stitutions of the country. The Japan
the future will be a self-governing
nation.
Of but little less importance is the
change In the treaty relations of Japan
and the great western powers. The old
treaties were thu outgrowth of con- go
dttlons long Incn disappeared. They
laTd restriction * iijlon the right of Japan

natlvo law. uionsular jurisdiction had
been construej/ / give aliens extra ter
ritorial prlvlleges freelng them entirely
from the obseri'iluce of Japanese law
without regard" to. subject or purpose. It.
course this i Japanese protested
against the ( jjyiithjnniiei * of this anoma to
lous condition after they had succeedeil as
ordaining new teets of law codes and
erecting nn Independent Judiciary
capable of administering justice with
discrimination. Hut It was not he
until within thu few months last past
that the foreign powers could be In-
ituced to abrogate the obnoxious
treaties. The llrsf result of the changed
and
* Japanese minister , be the opening
of the whole Japanese empire to
foreign trade , whereas foreign trading of
previously been confined
open ports. Most fur-reaching
opinion will be the creation of better re 4go thS
latlons between tlio Japanese and tin his
foreigners , bringing with them a stlmu
luting effect upon commerce and in
dusry. ( The expansion of her iimnu-
fncdirlng Interests and the extension of
her railway .systems give promise of
continuing for pome time yet to come.
This bright outlook , If ( lie Japanese
minister \ correct In bis analysis , is
due to the fact that the Japanese nru

to strengthen their position us nn in
