Show Hff ? Count Casslnl declares that Russia HR i -will not plve up the war; that she If HR j bound to fight till she conquers. But he HIK I Is only the little Casslnl; the big Casslnl Hj rnn-j turn the game the other way. H''t Among the things emphasized by the Hj ij election lo that the people won't eup- Hl port a party whose chief claim on their RI ; $ votes Is that It Is trying to get Into the HR j opposition camp, having no ground of 1 1 i' The South Is said now to want scc- HR j tlonallsm abated. Dut that Is not In Rjf ; fact the Southern Idea at all. That Idea j is for the North to quit opposing, and D let Southern sectionalism dominate the HI r country, as it was wont to do. II r pse tha llie sory oC Ending HR G money In a Bible that was left by the Wife' father to his ton, after many years of II I a rcckleso 11 fe- is revived. It Is a good story, loo; but as to its personal It'll application to anybody In thess late II v 5pars of the world, a most stringent III-if aflldavlt should) be required.

So what H I thr- mischief those open cuts are run H I for is the puzzle of the day. I I If it Is true as reported that the Japa- H 9 have captured the Keekwun forts H 'il and ridge, they have penetrated the H 111 main lino of the Russian defense at Port H J Arthur, and the defense cannot much Hj longer be maintained.
