OUR NEW CoMERs. Rs.-Those who
anne first had the appearance of well
to do people and are no doubt salts
factorily located, but of late we no.
tice another class Of emigrants whose
stock looks poor and worn out,
which causes us to think that their
animals did frequently without feed
on sundry sterile camping places
along the road, because the owners
had no means wherewith to purchase
grain, else why should one party
make the trip in quick time and
come through with fat, sleekanimals,
while another outfit moves "slowly
along" and arrives here with mere
skeletons of horses? One thing is
certain. There is a considerable
poverty among our late emigration
and wherever poverty whispers, suff-
ering cries aloud. It is seldom
heard, but there is none so d saf,
but what might hear. The eye that
never dropped a tear is frequently
the saddest and tells tale Of sorrow
and woe just by one look. In view
of these inevitable prospects before
us, it behooves every farmer to ap-
point and constitute himself COM
mittee of one called a Relief Com
mittee. On some ranches and farms
enough is wasted in one month to
keep poor and destitute emigrant
family whole year. Help these
people wherever you meet them and
wherever you see they need an as
sisting hand. Remember giving to
the poor is lending to the Lord and
is like the bread cast upon the water.
Our merchants and business men
will do their part, especially those
doing business on Main street.
However charity never grows old or
ont of fashion and if ever it is right
fully bestowed, it is done when we
aid and assist the poor emigrants.
Emigrants are still pouring into
the valley, more in fact than many
in town would surmise. Many of
them seem to have an eye to the
country north of us, but all no doubt
will find comfortable homes and
perpetual contentment somewhere.
At first most of our new comers get
the blues, but were they to land in
the garden of Eden it would be all
the same. After while however
dispondency gives way to industry
and that oils the wheels to prosperi-
ty and then the patient is cured.

Bankruptcy Laws Of Japan.

We have become accustomed to
look upon Japan as land of start
ling novelties and innovation. We
are not surprised, therefore, to find
that the japanese, in adopting Wes-
tern ideas, should improve upon
their models. In no possible way
could they SO thoroughly manifest
their appreciation of Western ideas
than by adopting the bankruptcy
laws of barbarian traders. The jap
anese law of bankruptcy is of the
most liberal and enlightened charac-
ter designed entirely for the protec-
ton of debtors from the iron grip
of hard hearted creditors. 'Pay
that thou owest" is often enough
heard in Japan, but it is never seri-
ously listened to. THERE'S no pris-
on ready to receive the debtor class
who may have dealt fraudulently.
The law protects them, for by it the
astute Japs have reducted bankrupt
cy to business. 1t is a legitimate,
business, morever, based on the
hallowed principle erstwhile known
"as spelling the Egyptians" The
process is simple and thorough. A
Japanese obtains goods on credit
from foreign merchant, who ap-
plies in due course for payment,
After the lapse of, say, two years,
the debtor is declared bankrupt,
and the creditor receives, through
the Consul, a final dividend, of the
smallest fractional currency Of the
empire, and is compelled to present
himself at the japanese court and
sign receipt in full. No meeting
of creditors is held, no statement of
accounts furnished, the whole thing
is done up in the dark by the court
officials and the debtor. It has now
become the rule in Japan to go into
business, obtain credit fail and make
O fortune. This is common anough
in other countries, but where Japan
exceells all other places is in the aid
which the law gives the operator.
The result is that foreign houses in
Japan have made bad debts lately
but we take it that when the facili-
ties for legal plunder are generally
known there will be regular stam-
pede of clever young men to Yoka-
hama, where they can have a good
time, without dread of social ban or
the stern minions of the law.

IT is now conceded that the exper-
iment of employing Chinese labor
at North Adams, Mass, is not prof
table There has been no great loss
by attempting it, but the improve
ment of the Chinese in practical
skill has latterly been less than was
anticipated from their advance in
the first few months. With the re-
turn of these Cinnamon to their ma
tive county, there is probably an
end of employing Asiatics for
skilled labor anywhere east of the
Mississippi, since there were many
favorable conditions at North Ad-
ans not likely to recur elsewhere.
People who were moved by the
scare about Chinese cheap labor a
few years ago have mostly recov-
cred from their fright, at least on
this side the Rocky Mountains; but
if there is yet a lingering trace of
their malady. this news should dis
pei it. N. z. Tribune.
