By Carrier, Delivered to any vartiuf;the city. issued Every Evening, Sundays Excepted, at Nevada City ce ial waline webanas APRIL 26, 1904 THE SINEWS OF WAR. N discussing the finances of the war in the. Far East, Frank A. Vanderlip, in the April World’s Work, says that Russia’s greatest security lies in her huge and widely distributed debt, while Japan relies largely on her alliance with Great Britain to sustain her credit. The Imperial Bank of Russia, owned by the Government, is a tremendous element of financial strength in the present position, A statement issued a few days ago shows in round figures that the bank has cash in hand amounting to more than $140,000,000. In addition to that it holds $290,000,000 of gold bonds and possesses a balance of $84,000,000 of gold held for its account in banks outside of Russia. Asan element of Russia’s financial strength, it is stated that the Trans-Siberian railroad, which is the longest piece of railroad in the world, was constructed by and is owned and operated by the government. It is unmortgaged. The Russian government is also engaged in the most extensive and varied activities of all the great governments in the world. With a vast system or railroads owned and operated by the State and an important and widespreading banking system under the State’s control. Russia is undoubtedly in a position to carry on her campaign in the Far East for a long time without any additions to her funded obligations. She can draw upon her gold stock, ipon the resources ot the Imperial bank, and upon the gold reserves that are back of the bank-note issues, and for many months would certainly occupy au impregnable financial position. Japan, on the other hand, must seek money outside her own boundaries if she is to make great financial expenditures in the war. The disturbed situatidn in England, the fall in consols the1e and the drop in Russian securities in the continental markets all combine to make the floating of a Japanese loan at the present time difficult. The foregoing facts indicate the staying powers of Russia and the fact that a campaign of masterly inactivity while the war expenses are accumulating, is in her favor as she is able to maintain a campaign lasting for years, if necessary, while it would exhaust the resources of Japan. A great military authority once said, “God is on the side of the heaviest battalions,” which is only another way of Saying the nation with the greatest financial resources. “eu SyMet, = = : 12 te2c Per Week ee hy PENSIONS IN THE CIVIL SERVICE HAT to do with or for the superannuated clerks in the government service is a question that is perplexing Congress and will continue to be more perplexirg with each passing year until it is settled On the rolls of the various departments are large _numbers of men and wogien whose working days are over, but who are still paid salaries, being held in their positions by the general theory of tenure during yood behavior and whose dismissal without some provision for their declining years is a step from which bureau chiefs naturally shrink. So they are kept in the service long after the period of their usefulness and efficiency has ceased. The idea of a civil pension list is not popular in this country, and there issmall prospect of its establishment. There is a general sentiment that government clerks as a body receive higher pay for less work than any other class of employes, and it is quite universally held that they are in no sense entitled to protection by the government from the inevitable consequences of their own misfortune or improvidence. The expense of the military pensions is heavy aud increasing, which furnishes another argument against pensions for a favored class of civilians whose lot at the worst is easier than that of most wage earners and whose duties in— volve none of the risks inseparable from the military and naval services, Nevertheless the operations of the civil service regula— tions are producing a large army of superannuated and wornout employes for whose Support some provision will apparently be necessary. After devoting the best years of their lives to the public service tney cannot well be turned out in old age to shift for themselves, even though it be their own fault that they have not acquired a competency for declining years. Thus is presented the ultimate necessity of providing some form of relief for superannuated employes without crippling the public service or unduly draining the public ‘ purse. A plan has been suggested by the civil service commission which seems feasible. It is proposed to establish by law a regular civil pension list to provide for the retirement under certain conditions of all persons in the classified service and to require all employes entering that service to pay out of their salaries a monthly premium sufficient to pay their pensions after retirement.

Prophetic Dream San Jose, April 256—I dreamt that papa tarned robber and was killed by @ big gun,” confessed Bruce Thorndike, the 8-year-old son of Bert Thorndike, to hie mother two weeks ago. In childish prattle the boy told of his tragic dream and the relation was repeated dey after day uotil Bruce’s dream had passed outside the family Circle and had become common. jest among the friends of the Thorndikes. No one surmised that the boyieh visfon was prophetic, but since the holdup of the Del Monte Club by the boy’s father and the pursuit and killing of Thorndike by Officer Swanson the boy’s prattle has been recalled and was a part of the testimony at the inquest held by Ooroner Kell this afternoon. Yesterday when little Bruce Thorndike was told that his father had been killed, the lad’s first question was: “Did he turn robber?” This incident ie given an importance by the friends and relalives of the dead man, who contend that Thorndixe was insane when he planned: his raid on the Del Monte Olub and that the dream of bie own boy was the firet suggestion to fix such a plan upon his failing intellect, Courtship and novels are more interesting than marriage and history, ~ $6 In Cash tionately cheap.

Prophetic Dream San Jose, April 256—I dreamt that papa tarned robber and was killed by @ big gun,” confessed Bruce Thorndike, the 8-year-old son of Bert Thorndike, to hie mother two weeks ago. In childish prattle the boy told of his tragic dream and the relation was repeated dey after day uotil Bruce’s dream had passed outside the family Circle and had become common. jest among the friends of the Thorndikes. No one surmised that the boyieh visfon was prophetic, but since the holdup of the Del Monte Club by the boy’s father and the pursuit and killing of Thorndike by Officer Swanson the boy’s prattle has been recalled and was a part of the testimony at the inquest held by Ooroner Kell this afternoon. Yesterday when little Bruce Thorndike was told that his father had been killed, the lad’s first question was: “Did he turn robber?” This incident ie given an importance by the friends and relalives of the dead man, who contend that Thorndixe was insane when he planned: his raid on the Del Monte Olub and that the dream of bie own boy was the firet suggestion to fix such a plan upon his failing intellect, Courtship and novels are more interesting than marriage and history, ~ $6 In Cash tionately cheap.
