HUMBLED YET CHEERFUL. The Mail accepts the ing, by which Mr. Richardson profited, is so much abhorred that "oven a municipal officer in 'whose be- half it has been practised is invited to retire into private life." The re- sult--the defeat of the candidate--is received as wise, "in view of the widespread nature of the illegalities." ~ But the Mail was quite willing that Mr. Richardson &hould be re-elected. He had raised the plaintive ery that he 'was a conservative, a follower of the; meek and lowly Whitney, and it had the hardihood to §uppose that his commection with Sam. Thompson's work would be condoned. The liberals ¢| kent out of the eleetion so. that it ntight not take on a political aspect. The opponent of the one man whose presence in municipal life was not de- sired, under the circumstances, was a rallied remend- ous majority, The one lesson to the Mail as well as to Mr. Richardson is that the peo- ple will not . swallow any old thing that the party may present to them. There are some doses that the cle. tors will refuse and two of the latest were offered by Mr. Richardson and his newspaper apologist. SPIRIT OF THE JAPANESE. The bravery of the Japanese is the theme of a world's comment. The common idea is that the subjects of the Mikado--an emperor of whom lit tle is said, and yet one of sagacity, and penetration--are patriotic beyond measure and that they will, in war, conquer or die. The alternative is a matter of indifference. There may be a sense of fear, but it is not apnar The seamen are even braver than the infantry. To them the London "On the sea dfficers and men are Spoiling for a fight. From the crews of the huge Mikasa and her sister bat- tleships down to the men on such craft as the White Naped Crane and the Dragon's Lamp--torpedo destroy- ers--t/ are swearing by every an cestor that, if let loose, they will sink and capture each consonantly named Russian warship in the Pacific. And do they not contemplate a possible d.- eat 7 Yes, but capture, no. Never will a Japanese ship, high or low, go into port a prize. "When the turrets are jammed and the big guns dumb, when the screwa are still and all defense is dead and done, the men chosen by lot before the beginning of action will from their station in the heart of the ship per- form "the Jat full measure of devo- tion" in exploding the ma azines, and the Suiperial standard will go deep down in a welter of blood and steam and smoke till, streaked with ash and sleeked with oil, the lukewarm whirl: pools close." » 4 The Japanese gave an exhibition in pport of this argument when the men on the transport refused to sur. render, and fought with desperation until they were engulfed in the sea. The Russians-have still to display their devotion, and it may come when the floet in Port Arthur faces, as it must do some of these days, surrender or sacrifice. The Japanese will pres ently force the abandonment of the forts, and from them the vessels in the harbour can be shelled and de stroyed. They may move out, to en counter the Japanese navy and sue. cumb, by the overpowering odds, to the contingencies of battle. Either that or be blown up with all on hoard. The crisis is at hand. Ths result of it in any case will be inj - lous to the Russians, and it is templated with great concern. con ------ EDITORIAL NOTES, II Chamberlain is too7ill to do any more cdmpaigning the preferential tarill agitation will speedily reach an end. : -- The Ottawa clergymen dislike the church parades, but thoy have declined to preach to any hody people who go to hear them. not of Some"of the graduates of the Royal Military College wore under fire in Somaliland, And they sclves with rare discretion and cour- age.

STREET SCENE IN KOREA. This shows a typical village stree t scene in the country which is no w the theatre of war, and where bing is in the most hopeless conf WORLD TIDINGS OCCURRENCES RECOUNTED WILL SOLDIERS STAY racks-Is So Ear Away. In connection with the building of the new artillery barracks at Lake Ontario P8rk, there will be a very im- portant question for the military au- thorities to face. It is this: Will sol diers stay in the artillery when their barracks are situated so far from the centre of the city, i.e., three miles off. One reason given some time ago by a sergeant for the batteries here being kept up in point of numbers so well as they are in time of peace was the fact that the men were right in the citv, and did not have to pay regu- lar car fares for travelling to and fro. The fact of the barracks being | where it is was money in pocket for them. In larger cities, it costs them more to live and their pay is the same. Lake Ontario Park is a long distance awav. at least it looks so in a small citv, like Kingston. There are some military" people who doubt Ar { usion. tions were necessary, and they cost fifteen million dollars and about a thousand lives. And all that is © ac complished is the defeat of the Mad Mullah, the driving of him out of British into Italian territory. Fault is found because some west- ern men have been gathering up their money and going to' New York, there to live in ease and luxury. ut there are some New Yorkers who are get ting out and locating in Europe. Astor and Croker for instance. There is no accounting for tastes. Babies. Cincinnati Commercial, When the May baby and the June baby had got well acrpuainted they ex- changed confidences. "My milk comes from a cow," said the May baby. "So does mir said the baby. "It is milked by a man in a white suit, with sterilized hands, through absorbent cotton, and kept at a tem- perature of forty-five degrees." "So is mine." "It is brought to me in,a prophy- lactic waggon drawn by modiled hor- sos." "So is mine." "Then, how in thunder do you man age to be so fat and well?" The June baby winked slyly. "l chew old paper and the corners of the rugs and anything I can find that is dirty, and in that way 1 man age to maintain the bacterial Lalance hy 4 certified June h is essential TO\health," he said, chuckling. The May baby laughed long and long. "So do 1," said he: The mammas heard the googooing, but they assigned to it only the usual fantastic significance. It was just as well.

One of his friends, after congratulating him, suddenly reached over and took a long brown hair from his shoulder. "Looks bad in a married man, Tick er!" he exclaimed, holding it up to the light. "Oh, that's all right," 'Yeplied Tick er, smiling; "it's my wife's.' y "No, no, that won't do," the friend.

JOCKEY CLUB DATES Sodje of East Third Will Probably Be Changed to Avoid Conflict. Mich.,, May 4.---An- effort is being made by 'the Detroit manag ment to have the Highland Park meeting start a week later than Au gust 6th, the date originally chosen. An application: asking for this change has been filed with the Western Joe key Club. The reason for the desired change, is to avoid a conflict of dates with eastern cities, as the schedule gow stands. Unless the Buffalo dates are postponed a week they will con flict with the Hamilton date. It is proposed to arrange to have the Fort Erie, Bufialo, and Detroit dates, all postponed a week to avoid any con flict. Detroit, ---------- Geronimo In' Old Age.
