Intelligencer. Published crecy Wednesday. J. F. &.INKSCALE6, \ EDITOR8 AND C. C. LANGSTON, S PROPRIETORS TEEMS ; ONE YEAH, 50 BIX MONTHS. - - -_75_ WEDNESDAY, JUNE 22. ?904. What oan be said of the degeneracy of a party that has no way to turn for presidential material save to Roose velt. _ ^_ A northern authority says that eat ing apples will elevate the morals. Times have changed since live did that little horticultural stunt in thc garden of llden. Judge Parker continues to gain strength all over the country. Thc outlook is very favorable to his nomi nation io thc National Democratic Convention on the iirst ballot. ci^-.'e there is to bono contest this year over thc Republican presidential nomination, the vote of thc colored delegates from thc South will bc so little in demand that the price will probably bc marked dowo to about 91.49._ William J. Hryan says it cost him a fortune to run for president. Get out! Ile was never able to carn over $5,000 a year in his life until he received the free advertising that went with the presidential nomination. We fear .Bill is ungrateful. In round figures there are 30,000,000 microbes in a plato of ice cream, and the came of the microbe would drive the most alphabetically notorious Rus sian to suioido. We merely mention this as a warning to Our lady friends, knowing that the imminent heated term has sore temptations. State Treasurer Jennings returned a few days ago to Columbia from New York, where he negotiatad a loan with bankers of that oity of $300,000 for the current espouses of the State for m the rest of the focal year, ?bis will be the last loan this year, as thc State previous to this borrowed 1200,000, ttnd the law only allows a loan of $500,000 a year. It is estimated that this will be enough to run tho State until the tax money comes in. A desire for accumulating property is laudable, for if it were not for the prudent, economical people who lay up store for future use, poverty and want would stalk up and down the land, gaunt and hollow-eyed. Many folks rail against what they call stingy people, and because their neighbor as a result of frugality and self-denial has gained a oompetenoy, they say he got it dishonestly. While wealth is a shrine at which too much homage is Pm ri vat onnyaixr Tica nlana^ ??a u*mti n -> rf BW.M?J f-*?" ---if of approval on the man of means, so if a man wants a passport into the company of men who move affairs, he had bettor take Hamlet's advice and "put money in his purse." A scheme is being agitated before Congress to pension all government clerks when they reach a oertain age. There is less reason for pensioning g??c? niiic?ii employes tuan any other clans of civil workers, beoauso as a class they are better paid. They are improvident enough now, but to hold oat a pension to them is to put a pre mium on improvidence. Anyone who cannot live and save money on an av erage government salary (there are some few exoeptions) deserves to scramble for a living, instead of' be ing taken care of at publio expense. Of course, if you grant the wisdom of the sooialistio plan of assuring a living to every member of society, then it would be all right to pension spendthrift government clerks, but it would not he fair unless everyone else was to share in the benefit. While the oandidate is abroad in the land, the following expression about candidates from ex-Governor I Bob Taylor, of Tennessee, will bo in teresting and amusing. Mr. Taylor eays : "Every honest man who runs for office is a oandidate for trouble, for the fruits of political victory turn to ashes on his lips. To me there is nothing in the world so pathetic as a candidate. He is like a mariner with out a compass, drifting on the tempest tossed waves of uncertainty between the smiling cliffs of hope and the frowning crags of fear. He is a talk ing petition and a living prayer. He is a packhorse of publio sentiment. .He is the dromedary of politics; and even if he reaches the goal of his am bition, he will soon feel the beak of the vulture in his heart and the fang ? of the serpent in his soul." It is announced in a news dispatch from St. Petersburg that the Russian irritation against the United States, arising from the undoubted sympathy of this country with Japan, is becom ing more pronounced. Recently or ders for American gooda have been countermanded, the only explanation giv?n being that the prospective pur chasers did not desire to bay Ameri can goods under the present circum stances. Perhaps the main reason for this feeling of sympathy willi Japan is thc great disparity i'i si/j ul the antagonises. Japan is ?mail, but jd icky. Russia is both large and powerful. Hut Japan is vigorous, alert and keen to an extent sufficient to very materially overcome the effect of the physical discrepancy. Japau represents the best and hightcst type of Far Kastern civilization. Russia dtandf for a tyranny in government that tt> intensely repugnant to the people of a fret country. The United Confederate Veteran? hell their fourteenth annual reunion ia Nashville, Tenn., last week, and was attended by about thirty thou sand visitors and delegates. Of course, most of them came from the South, but every Suite in the I'niou was represented.

Tokio, June 10.-The Russian hope of relieving the pressure of Port Ar thur by threatening the rear of Gen eral Oku, the commender of the Japan ese forces investing the Russian strong hold, came to an end yesterday at Tel iissu.apoint on the railroad fiO miles north ot Kin-Chou and ~~> miles north of Vanfangou, wheo tho Russians were outmaneuvered, enveloped and sweep ingly defeated. They loft over fiOO dead on the field und the Japanese captured BOO prisoners and fourteen quick-tiring Held guns. The Russians retreated hastily to tho northward. Kaii;r cati matey of tho Javanese loss es at r^Ue?u say that i.OoO men were killed or wounded. Tim J Ap nu coo at tacking force was divided into right and loft columns tltod began the ad vance o? Tuesday along both sides of the railroad. They encountered the Russians east of Vafangou and drove them hack. At a lato hour iu the afternoon the Russians held st lino be tween Lung-Wang-Liao and Ta-Fung Cheng. Tho Japanese artillery open ed on this lino and (he Russians re sponded. The shelling continued for two hours, and it was followed by the advance of the Japanese line to a position extend ing from Lung-Chia-Tung to Yu Hotuu. Darkness put an end to tho lighting. The Japanese dispatched a column to tho westward toward Fu Chau for tho purpose of covering the Russian right wing and to protect their left and rear.

When morning came it was discover ed that the Russians held a line ex tending from Tu-Fang-S hen toCheng Tsu-Sban with u force estimated at over two divisions. While the main Japanese force was moving north along the railroad, col umns were swung to the left and to the right, and tinnily converged at noon on the main Russian position. The Russians in this position were at a disadvantage, but they held it until :t o'clock in the afternoon. At this hoar they were routed. The cavalry con tinued to pursue the enemy and prob ably inflicted considerable punish ment. The Jspunese commander makes no estimates of the Russian losses, but says they probably were groat. Chefoo, Jnne 17.-Two thousand Chinese, chiefly small merchants, ar rived here to-day iu junks from Port Arthur. After the Chinese were or dered out of Port Artbnr the Russians coinmandered all the provisions and cattle. Fighting on both land and sea was continuous. The result is not known to the Chinese. The latter be lieve the Russians are unable to hold out and are preparing to destroy the place. Liao Yang, June 18.-The retirement of the Russians bofore a superior force from Vanfnngow, and the advance of the Japanese east and northeastward, makes imminent a still more impor tant engagement in the southern re gion. The Japanese have now arrived at a point where the forces are more equal, and where they must light on more even terms. The loss or 2,000 men by the Russian divisions at Vafan gow snows the courage and ability of the officers and troops to retain their position under A percentage of loss al most unprecedented. St. Petersburg, Juno 10.-A dispatch from Mukden says that, according to trustworthy advices received there, an entire infantry regiment, with its com mander, was sunk in the transports Hitachi and Sadou.

Niuchwang, Jane 20-A Russian officer who was wounded in the battle of Vafangow (Telissn) told an Aeso ciated Press correspondent that the losses on both sides were severe. He I?laced the Russian casualties at at east 7,000. He says no soldiers io tho world could withstand the Japanese as they have been fighting lately. Their artillery Are, he claims, is mar velously effective. The Russians fought stubbornly, but were unable to withstand the enemy's dashing persist ency. Several hundred wounded Rus sians have been sent north owing to a lack of hospitals and surgeons. All the available transportation has to be used for supplies at the expense of the sick and wounded. The Japanese buried most of the Russian dead after tho battle. It is estimated on information ob taidable that the Japanese force mov ing northward is 70,000 strong with :lO.ooo men in the aggregate engaged in the operations at Port Arthur.
