The Mayor further understands that one of his prerogatives Is that of con-strulng con-strulng laws and' ordinances to suit his J- purposes. Having studied the matter, Mayor Morris finds that any law or ordinance that tends to keep a Republican In of-T of-T ' flee In invalid, l 1 H1 Russia, we feel sure, will be pleased to release war newa freely just as soon as It ha somelhing that it thinks1 good enough to print. I, ' Mr. Condle wishes the public to understand un-derstand that It Is not his fault that thero is much dirt on the pavements, as he did not take it there. 1 Ogden Is to have a bull fight on Washington's birthday, which will be quite appropriate, as George himself, you remember, once fought a Bull, the celebrated John Bull. Though the Mayor, so far as we know, does not pretend to be a doctor, j he thinks he can diagnose the Health ; Board trouble better than Its physicians I can. But those who feel that Congressman Shafroth violated one of the principles of the Democratic party in resigning his -?at, should bear in mind that he knew he couldn't hold it, anyway. But Mayor Morris, not wishing to be too rough with the Bepublican employees, em-ployees, considerately Intimates that they may work on a while longer if they are willing to do so without pay. The death of Mr. Bruback was pitiful in the extreme. He was victim to the quality of his mind which required that he verify for himself what he had gone to investigate. How the distressing accident ac-cident happened will never be positively known, but that It caused Mils death is tho affliction. Mr. Bruback was for twenty years prominent as a mining man and expert, active, Intelligent, exact. ex-act. His loss will be deeply felt in the whole community. Tho dispatches say that Buesla will have an army of four hundred thousand men in Manchuria in twelve days. It won't have as many In twelve months, if ever. We doubt If It has one hundred thousand there now, or that Japan has that many. We look to see the prcliml-nary prcliml-nary land battles fought with, not more than fifty thousand men on each side. And It will be no small effort to maln-tain maln-tain and thoroughly equip, that number, with the difficulties that are to be en-countered. en-countered. Wo note a tone of sarcasm In some of the papers of tho country on the presentation of the name of Mr. Wall of Wisconsin as a Democratic Presl-dcntlal Presl-dcntlal candidate. It is probable, to be sure, that Mr. Wall Is not seriously a candidate; but If he were, his candl-daey candl-daey would compel respect, not only because his forco and ability would compel It, but because he Is worthy of that respect. He is of a caliber far greater than Bryan, for Instance, and much above that of a number of worthy Hj gentlemen who have occupied tho White fl House. fl Germany has secured the right, it seems, to inaugurate a uniform police system in all tho cities of Shan Tung province. That is rather more than permitting the camel to get his head Ih-Hj Ih-Hj side" the tent: It !o alluring him to get H' in with all his feet A German police system in tho cities there means Ger-man Ger-man control, absolutely, Inevitable. Shan Tung Is the province In which tho Germans made their aggressive splzure of ICIau Chau; It Is densely populated, the most densely of all the provinces of China, C53 people to tho square mile; area, 33,500 square miles, total popula-tlon, popula-tlon, 26,217.835. It Is a sacred' province, within its borders the revered Confucius was born, and thousands of Chinamen go there on pilgrimages. The report says that the people of the cities who aro to get the German police system want It. If so, they ought to have it, and of course will get It, for Germany Is more than willing, and China can't hinder. But the true meaning of the move Is that the province will be a German Ger-man possession, and that the process of the partition of China has made another an-other important advance. |
