The score stood but did work, good local The boys were outclassed, and hence went to the wall. The heat and 111 temper manifested heretofore did not appear, this evidencing that the boys are submitting to discipline and good sense.

U. team, had Home very plensant things to Hay while here about our boys. The second administration of the g. o. p. is fairly under way now. and the eyes of the whole community are upon the men of many good and great promises, to see how the recent pledges are to be kept. The outlook Is not the most hopeful. There are many straws that Indicate how the wind la Betting, and that give no particularly flattering prospect for the municipal weal under Republican management. Some years ago the people of the opposition succeeded at the polls in a reform campaign, and In the sequel, under Democratic management, the town secured some needed Improvements, particularly In the betterment of the saloon traffic. But two yeara ago last fall Logan passed Into the hands of the Republicans, and an administration of retrogression followed, some members of the council being either saloon frequenters or sympathizers. The ordinances more and closely regulating restricting the liquor traffic enacted by the Democrats In the previous council were largely ignored by Republican officials, In consequence of which lawlessness was encouraged, saloon men emboldened, and evils flourished. This condition grew to such an extent that the local organ of the g. o. p the Republican, took the matter up and fearlessly and forcefully scored delinquent officials, urging reform and attention to duty In fine form. The result of this and other agitation waa that when the whisky aldermen" sought renomi nation at the primaries they were turned down and men of better habits and character were nominated, and some of these were elected. The prom Ise of reform was distinct and definite, but alas! was It all but wind? This from the Republican may serve as a fair unswer and at the same time In dlcate the little Improvement some of the present council are over their friends who were turned out: Just at present a billlnrd hall Is being run In this city in direct violation of laws on the statute books. The officials know this nnd everybody else knows It. That's a pretty mesa, that Is, and its a gay set of fellows who wink their eyes nt It. Our esteemed contemporary, the only1 makes It point to keep mum on the subject nt present, but just wait until the next election and then won't it howl about the lncoinpetency of our city council! And when it comes to this particular proposition the Republican will be unable to offer any defense. Just as a mntter of decency the council should either repeal the ordinance providing that billiard halla should not be conducted within one hundred feet of a saloon, or It should close a certain hall now conducted immediately over a certain saloon." The fact la, this reform council of ours la a sort of dummy, do nothing, affair, so far as any real effort to the ethicnl betterment of our municipality goes. It has men who spend more time in the saloons loafing than In looking after the public weak and the head of the police department, though full of promises of betterment, both before and after election, is about as lnx as slack lime, so far as any real energy We Have a Mammoth Stock INTEREST CENTERS IN OPERATIONS IN NORTHERN KOREA.

Whatever may have been the camoutpaign plans of Russia before the break of the war with Japan, the work of the Japanese fleet at rort Arthur has completely upset them. Russia was counting on her fleet as an effective arm of offense as well ae of defense. Admirals Togo and Urlu have made it worthless for either purpose. And its rehabilitation Is absolutely hopeless. Whatever war vessels still remain unimpaired in Port Arthur, their value aa offensive and defensive agents has been totully destroyed. They are of no earthly use at their moorings In the Inner harbor of their stronghold. They dare not .come out Into the open sea, because a much superior force Is there ready to crush them. The Yellow sea Is too narrow to allow them to elude the Japanese fleet if they should emerge unobserved. Besides if they should succeed In escaping from Port Arthur the best they could do would be to endeavor to either Join the small flotilla of torpedo boat destroyers which recently sailed eastward from Singapore convoyed by the battleship Orel and the armored cruiser Dimitri Donsgol, or to reach the Vladivostok fleet In either event these combined fleets would be unable to cope with the force which Japan could bring against them. If the attempt were made to Join the Vladivostok fleet, they would have to run the gauntlet of the Japanese squadrons located at Nagasaki, Masampho and Hakodate, for the Korean strait Is practically a Dardanelles now. If they were to take the ocean course around the Japan archipelago to reach Vladivostok they might find themselves nt sea short of coal with no station In reach at which they could refill their bunkers.
