The celebration of Independence day will Ik? as general this year ns usual, though possibly with somewhat les of the noisy demonstration that has com monly characterized it. There ha taken place n widespread movement to curtail those excessive manifestations of popu lar enthusiasm which In the past have been prolific of serious consequences, but there will still lie abundant opportunity for an expression of popular patriotism. It Is not necessary to a proper or ade quate demonstration of the patriotic feel ing of the people that the Fourth of July should be nn occasion for the reckless use of explosives resulting In thousand of casualties and large property losses. The very general demand for n sane eele. brstlon of the day Is justifiable and all classes of the people will lietter enjoy the anniversary If Its celebration Is car ried on under reasonable restraints and rcstrltrtlon. AXOTIiKR NTKP TOWABh PKACK. The appointment by Russia and Japan of two peace plenipotentiaries euch I another Important step toward peace. It U stated that these representative of the two governments will meet In Wash ington ubout the beginning of next month find that they will have full au thority to negotiate a permanent treaty of peace. It appear that the Japanese government instated upon the plenipoten tiaries being given thl power, Instead of meeting for a merely tentative consid eration of terms that might bo proposed, and that this requirement on the part of Japan had the support of I'resldent Roosevelt, upon whose representation the Russian government wa Induced to accede. Consequently when the reprc- aentatlve of the belligerents meet In conference It will be for the specific pur pose of negotiating a treaty and not Imply to talk over terms. In the meuntlme there Is uncertainty a to whether nn armistice can be ar ranged In advance of the meeting of the peace conference. It I under t nod that active effort are being mude to effect a cessation of hostilities pending the discussion of pence terms, but there seems to bn doubt whether this can be accomplished. The Indication are that Japan wants another buttle, doubtless believing that It would result to her ad vantage In peace ..rgotlatlon. Certainly If the Japanese should have another great victory It would weigh heavily In favor of whatever demnnds they might make. OKHSIAfirS SKA I'OH'IH. The German government propose to considerably Increase Hh navy Bnl It ap pears that Uie policy has tile approval of the ruling elements of the people -that I, tho financial, manufacturing and com mercial cIushch. A lute issue of Uie con sular rt ports gives a declaration on the subject made by the t'hamlier of Com merce of imrtmund, la which It Is said tlmt a strong navy, commanding respect, Is demanded by the lurge majority of the German people. It Is further suld that the conviction gain ground that under the present world condition a nation can only maintain It Independence, pro tect It interest and attain far-reaching alms through sea power. "Statesmen and diplomats," says the declaration of these commercial men, "may Judge whether public opinion In thl connec tion Is right, but we, who have the Inter est of commerce, the lnJustrle and sea trurfto In charge, emphatically declare that purely sols-r, economic reasons urge the creation of a navy commanding re ajiect that is, the Increase and rapid de velopment of our war fliets." Thl Is In eutlre neenra with the view of the government, whose program for naval enlargement is understood to be on an extensive scale. Gcnmuiy 1 not willing to remain behind France la ca power ami there J every reason to ex pect will go to the full extent of her re source In order to place herself on a naval equality with France.

In providing for a convention of more Uiiin di.icgati-s to nominate one can didate for supreme Judze and two candl dates for state university regent the re publican state organization has sub mitted too far to the mania for mere big ness. W hy It should take X.'Xt) delegates to name thru? men to run for state ctUce. would ri-ejulre. a diagram for explunaUon, Tli rcult based on previous experi ence with similar folly can easily be forecasted. In an off year with so little ut stake It will le absolutely impossible to inspire the necessary degree of party enUiUsiasin to send tho entire apportion ment of delegates to the oonvenUon city from Uie more remote counties. Under the rule authorizing the delegates present to cast Uie full vote of the absentees as well, comparatively few people will get together and vote themselves several times. The convention of on paper Is liable to resolve Itself into a conven tion of about t0 in the convention hall,, and those O'S) will be the men who can make the trip from their homes and back at the least expense and outlay for them selves. ( A convention composed of two-third or even half as many delegates ns have lssen summoned would do the business equally well and more expeditiously and still give the various republican con stituencies the same relaUre representa tion. Representative banker In western financial centers express the opinion thut Uie west will this year lie able to move Its crops without drawing to any appre ciable extent on the money of the east ern banks. The change thut has come over the west In the last few year In this respect Is decidedly significant The financial dependence of west and east has been substantially reversed. If tho western farmers really wanted a little extra money to move the crops In the fall, all they would have to do would be to call In a few of Uie louns they had mude in the east.

Medical Treatment for an Ailment Too Common In the' Tropics. Brooklyn Eagle. Down in Porto Klco tho government is curing jjislness with medicine instead of with a strap. In one hospital near the center of the island 4.600 cases were treated last year, and the proportion of cures was so )are that the population is reported to tie taking on new hope and ambition. For three or four years now a good deal has buen beard about the hock worm, a germ which infects Its victim with laziness or takes out all their energy. It Is chiefly found in tropical climates, but our own clay eaters in the Carolina have been af flicted with it to a considerable extent. The disease has been more fiercely epidemic in Porto Rleo than In any other region where It has ' come under scientific treat ment. Heretofore the Porto means have regarded the victims of thl marked lassi tude as Incurable, as a generation ago we regarded the Inan stricken with consump tion. A three persons out of four fell under the spell, the possibility of work or progress on the Island was ended. Study showed that this disease was caused by the hook worm, and the report of the large por tion of cures in the hospital at Albonlto la an official document sent to Washington by Captain li. K. Ashford, head of the commission to Investigate anemia on the island. The hospital had an appropriation of $6,000, and on that sum It treated 4,000 patients, all suffering with this microbe. Proper feeding ha a good deal to do with the cure, but the cause of the laziness la the hook worm, which absorbs the valu able particles from the blood. The system has to be rid of the parasite before cure is possible. Sanitation plays a large part In the treatment also. With the wonders which sanitation is working In Cuba and Porto Rico, and with the promises made for It In Panama, we may yet live to see the terrors of a tropin climate reduced to at least manageable and bearable proportions. PERUGIA L. KOTKS. The report that Admiral Togo's salary is only $3,000 Is apt to make th average base ball pitcher feel rather haughty. The family of the late General Oomi s has presented th Jeweled sword he re ceived from an American to the National Museum of Havana. Pittsburg Is Bcotch-Irlsh, not English, and therefore It objects to the dropping of tho "h," which it thlnka an ornament at the end of its name. Since the Chlneae have begun to boycott our goods it will no longer be regarded by our government aa an exhibition of real humor for immigration officials to clutch a Chink by the pigtail. Ignace Padrrewakl, who was Jolted on a train In New York state some months ago, succeeded In Jolting the company out nf $7,00n. There la no profit for corporations fiddling with Psderewskl. Emperor William has promoted Admiral von Koester to be grand admiral of the German fleet. He has long held high com mands, and has the complete confidence of the government as an exceptional fcd mlnlstrator. The New York Times boldly declares that "the vaso motor nerves and the secretory nerves of th sudoriferous glands are the thermostats of the body." Th writer should shake the Iilshop Potter saloon and try a Raines hotel for a change. A pa.'' of uncouth highwaymen In New Jersey were roundly trounced for attempt ing to hold up a wayfarer with a loaf of stale bread. The bread was the first effort of a bride and waa reverently laid among the roaddde bushes, by a loving husband. That highwaymen should employ a brld.il confection as a deadly weapon was a sacri lege deserving the punishment that fol lowed. Truly the troubles of railroad corporations multiply at aa amazing rate.

William Tleman, a tailor of Paytnn, O., was up before Juatlce Carlln, charged with being drunk and abusing his family. Hla honor Imposed the unique penalty. "You are sentenced to turn over your nay en velope to your wife every Saturday night for three months and the following Mon day present m with a receipt for iimo Igned by your wife.

Grand Island Independent: The repub licans of Nebraska will within a few months have the opportjnlty to go on record in line with the re nil hi Ira rtm r.f the First congressional district and they should do so emphatically. Three state officers are to be named-and thl statement is precise, because there is hardly any ques tion, ir tne party acts wisely, that It ticket will be elected. Before they are named they should be nledired not in e. cept a pass, nor any other valuable thing, nor any courtesy from any corporation, and the convention Itself should heartily, em phatically and unequivocally declare itself for the president s policy of extending the power to the Interstate Commerce commis sion to regulate and fix railroad rates. ine republicans of every precinct in the state should now be exhorted to take the matter up and to attend their caucuses whenever these shall have been called, in order that the demand for such declaration be definite and certain.

If they had done that, evo- luimn migm nave taken up their work and, In time, produced all sorts and va rieties and conditions of living creatures. Milton, in his immortal work, tells of a personage who was envious of the Deity.

Th reader will, of course, exercise his Indis putable rUht of private Judgment to the historical accuracy of Milton's account of that war and It results; but we think it will lie conceded with practical unani mity that If there Is as much of truth of poetry In It, these alleged Ilfe-creatlng scientists would do well to give It their serious consideration. Aa the latest phase of this feature of biological research, we note the announce ment In a New York contemporary that "another sclentlHt. thl time not cn. cagoan, but Prof. Burke of Cambridge, thinks ne has bit the trail which leads to the demonstration that animal life ran be created by chemical action, and with the aid of radium spontaneous generation is possible." Chemical sclentlBts have performed Innumerable wonders; their work ha been one of the great factors of human progress; It Is still going onward and upward; It Is likely to continue Its beneficent career for ages to come. But human achievements In chemlBtry, grand and marvelous as they are, are still "but a cipher brought against Infinity" as com pared with what the Divine Chemist has been doing always since time began. In field and woods, on glade and hill, on tho lawn, In the garden, vineyard and orchard, and. In fact, on every spot of earth vher vegetable life exlM. And this dlvin work is as Inexplicable today as It wa at creation's dawn; the wisest of God's human creatures have little more knowl edge of how it Is performed than is pos sessed by the unlearned er by the beasts of the field, cr the fowls of the air. It strikes ua that If Prof. Burke of Cam bridge, and some other professor, all of whom are so Impotent in life-creating that, with unlimited time and money, they could not put a tingle breath of lire into a dead fly, would direct their attention for a time to the chemistry of tiature, they might do better service for humanity than they are likely to render In their effort to "find out God" and enter Into a business psrtnershlp with Him In His greatest and most mys terious specialty.

Some Remarkable Fluctuations and Its Present State. New York Evening Post. No stork ha moved so erratically on this years market as Union Pacific. Start ing from 113 on January S the common Bhares touched on February as against a "record price" of 133, even in the great boom of 1'1. On May 22 It was back at Hi; last Tuesday it touched U3 again. What did this unusual vacillation mean? Partly. If Wall street belief Is ac cepted, that very wealthy "inside" capital ists were speculating on an enormous scale and at the expense of the speculating out side public. But partly that the com pany's actual position and purposes regard ing dividend were highly confusing. The October dividend upon Union Pacific Is usually declared in August. That it will he. Increased this year from the 4 per cent annual figure maintained since 10 has long been Wall street's expectation. The factor that govern Union Pacifies divi dend, however, are more Intricate than those which govern the dividend of any other property. Adjustment of the west ern railroad situation, which was to fol low the dissolution of the Northern Se curities company, has not yet assumed tangible shape; no one can yet say what Union Pacific will do with it forty odd millions of stock of Northern Taclflc and Great Northern, In whose affairs It no longer has a voice. Calculation of Union Pacific's own future surplus, available for dividend, will somewhat depend on these considerations. Viewed from the ordinary standpoint of earnings a B per cent dividend would not be at all unreasonable. Some $2,106,787 measures tho Increase In net earnings scored by Union Pacific in ten months of th fiscal year that has Just ended, and this amount was saved out of a gross gain of $3,278,000. Last year the 4 per cent paid upon the common stock required $4. 3S0.S38 and there remained out of the year' earnings $8,23,fJ0O, o that nearly 12 per cent In all was earned on the stock then outstanding. This year's increase would bring the rate up to about 14 per cent. But Union Pacific common stock is a variable quantity. In 3M about $:rw.o.noo was outstanding on which 12 per cent was earned, and there were $S7,OTnft:o of con vertible bonds. Now over $Y.ono,inO of these bonds have been converted Into common stock, leaving only some $3ft,000,000 uncon verted, and It Is necessary to keep an eye to the situation which will exist when all shall be so converted. There will then be $19C.ooo,ooo of common stock, and no con vertible bonds. So long as the stock paid only 4 per cent the disbursement wa the same, whatever the relative amount of stock and convertibles, for the bonds too paid 4 per cent. But Increase In the divi dend would alter the situation. On the basis of last year's earnings the whole issue of common stock, assuming all of these bonds converted, would earn about si per cent. At the present rate of earn ings thlB record would bo raised to nearly 10 per cent. It has all along been expected that the Increase In Union Pacific's common stock would be counterbalanced by increased in come from some of the $341,000,000, par value, of aecuritles held in th company's treasury securities which give Union Pa clflo control of about 17,000 miles of rail road and a share In the Income of many companies that it does not actually control. The $90,000,000 of Bouthern Paclflo stock that Is owned ha not yet paid any divi dend, but the Income that will eventually be received from it ha all along been counted upon lo offset the increase in the capital stock through the conversion of the convertible bonds. Each 1 per cent paid upon Southern Pacific stork would give to the Union Pacific nearly H per cent upon its entire enlarged Issue of common stock. In other word, whenever Southern Pa cific shall become a dividend payer Union Ayer's Hair Vigor is a a hair and the hair grows. That's all there is to it.
