the progress of Christian missions. the
Buddhist priests Of Japan are collecting
money to send missionaries Of their re-
spcctlyc beliefs to other lands"
We hope the contributions Of faithful
Blu dhi-ts in that distant country will be-
liberal, and that competent corps Of Japan
csc missionaries may be sent u the United
states. We are just now in great need of
religious lnvSoration and perhaps the adj
vent "l the~" apostles Of a faith different
from Christianity AMI yet in some respects
very similar may bring an awakening
which other influences Seem powcrln-. To
produce. Sir DAVID WEDDuUBvRN lately
drew Il picture of society in Japan removed
from civilized influences, which was
altogether delightful. He depicted the
people Of tho interior as remarkably DO
lite and considerable in their behavior, as
gentle, kind, Industrious, and honest. He
even went so far as TO say that Europeans
VIII" had lived among them for years. whcn
lh"y returned to "civilized" life, were dis
gu7ted with the rudenoss of the manners of
lheli countrymcn, a. compared with the
refinement Of the japanese.
1T may thfr'toro prove II great boon If
the Japanese should send missionaries to
TINS country. They may not, no matter how
IeiNcht ana pluu7 they may be- induce any
considerable numbered Americans togiyeun
the Christian religion in favor Of Buddhism.
II would hardly be reasonable to cXunct That
they should do that. Yet they might tcnch
our people TO practise far better than they
do the preccpts of the religion so many

more favored land, are yet able to partially

any genuine believer among us surely ought
to be able, in the full efrulgcncc Of the teach
ings of Christianity, to lead life Of picty
and morality that would shine in compare

But it is only fair that the japanese
should send Us missionaries, aud take up
contributions for their support. We give
many thousands of dollars every year to
convert them to the Christian faith and
keep up n staff of missionaries of different
denominations in their country, to show
them how far superior to Buddhism is the
religion Of the Occidcnt. Unfortunately,
however. the Christians Who visit the Jap
nnosc islands 50 behave themselves. in the
majority Of cases. that the hcathcns are
doubtful whether, after ALL the teachings Of
our missionaries are productive Of better
results than those of their own priests.
When the Buddhist missionaries land in
New York aud begin their revlvalistc cf-
forts. we hope they will strive 60 arouse our
morally sluggish community TO n conccp-

form it displays itself whether it appears
in politics or in business, rots out the life of

We give cordial welcome to tho Buddhist
missionaries from Japan, and wish them all
success in their benign efforts to give life
and reality to the morality of the Golden
Rule among our people.

A Reason Why.

Mr.. WILLIAM A. WALLACE says In the So
called platform which he prepared In Wash
ington and read to the sO-called Democratic
Convention at Pittsburgh, that he is OPP
posed 10 any attack upon the Presidential
title as dangerous To our institutions and
fruitless IN its results" We are not sur
prsed that n gentleman who H. like Mr.
WALLACE, in the service Of Mr.. Tom SCOTT.
should entertain these views; although il *
somewhat startling to find them read out in
Democratic Convention and adopted NJ
the sentiments of the dcfrauded party. But
would such movement be entirely fruitlc--
OF results II successful it would, at all
events, prevent the execution Of the corrupt
bargain 81 the Nas-Pacillc with the agents
Of the defeated candidate whereby in the
Electoral Commission Judge BRADLEY's
casting vote was given to the Fraud, and "a
large number of southern votes were see
cured fOr the completion Of the fraudulent
count.
This would be fruit, hut not the kind Of
fruit Me--rs. SCoTr and WALLACE desire.

The Army Bill and il. Chances.

The House of Representatives has failed
to meet the public expectation in regard
To the army, although it forms one OF
the largest elements of extravaganza
IN the national budget Except to keep up
the artificial dignity of our magnificent
commanders and their stats, there is no
preteXt for maintaining force of twenty
thousand enlisted men. All the theoretical
reasons which have been urged on behalf Of
large standing army disappear like morn
ing mist when tried 10y the practical rule Of
necessity, which is the only safe rule in deal
ing with public expenditures.
With a solitary exception, the Republicans
voted for twenty-five Thousand men, aud co.
operating with them were the Texas delega-
ton except Mr.. REAGAN. Mr.. WILLIAMS Of
Michigan, Mr.. WIGGINToN OF California, and
Mr.. PATTERSON of Colorado. in all, eight
Democratic votes, and eight more than
should have been cast. The House was not
fairly tested on radical retrenchment at
all, because the issue was only joined be-
tween Mr. HEwITr's scheme for twenty
thousand and the present Nrce Of twenty
five thousand.
1t may be assumed in advance that the
Senate will amend the bin by restoring the
largest figure, and striking out every pro-
vision in any way looking To reform. The
Republican majority in that body cling 10
their old practices, and refuse 10 run ont OF
the old ruts. They believe in n standing
army, as they believe in strong govern
mont, maintained on a costly footing. The
military chiefs at Washington are in the
confidence Of those leaders who worked
together to carry the Presidency by fraud.
Whatever Gen. SHERMAN and his aSsOci-
ates recommend will be adopted 10y the SEN
ate, and resolutcly adhered TO-. Nothing l.
more sure than that the bin will hc sent
back to the House with amendments rails
ing the army to twenty-five thousand mon.
Conference committees will be appointed 80
adjust the differences, and all the probable
ties are in favor of a compromise on twenty
two thousand five hundred, which, in legis-
lative usage and parlanco, is called splitting
the difference between the two Houses. Mr.,
HEWITT, rs the sponsor Of the original bill,
will Of course be at the head Of the confer
ence on his side, and he has had experience
IN compromises that are fruitful of mischief.
There is but one chance ~ a serious dis
agreement. The House has adopted pro-
vlso forbidding, with severe penalties, the
employment Of any part If the army as a
posse comHdtus on otherwise except as may
expressly be authorized by Congress. This
clause has more significance than might be
supposed at first glance, and i a prohibl-
tion that may tie the hands Of the Fraudu-
lent Administration when it would most like
them 10 be free. The Senate, Of course. Will
reject II, and then the question may recur

The Truth of the Matter.

Tho views Of a certain class Of persons
respecting the Fraudulent Presidency are
expressed in the following passage from the
Springfield RopuLtcm:
"Thc one thing TO which the country will not consent
Is IN attempt D., congre. In 1874 1870 To- undo
ucmo mt ~ the Presidential controversy reached IN tie
winter OF 1901 Ever, body knows that there were
gross and pallabe frauds in the election. people vii
alwayshc (Which candidate had the stronger
moral clam 10 the office The roht winch the great
masses Of both parties agreed is that the legal title
which was finally concerted upon of them shall not
be questioned
WhcrcupOn We remark ne followe
There was no settlement of the Presidcn-
tial controversy in the winter Of 1876 T.
The only way in which such a controversy
can ever bc settled is by the action Of Con-
gress in accordance with the Constitution.
On the occasion in question the Constitution
was thrown aside. 4 tribunal not author
lied by it was erected, through an unconsti-
tutnual and void statute by means Of
which man not elected as President was
installed in the Office in the face Of a solemn
declaration by the House Of Representatives
that he had no lawful title to the Office.
The right to the Presidency can never be
determined through any moral claim Tie
Constitution knows nothing of such claims
and no man can rightfully be President cx-
ccpt one who has majority Of the genuine
electoral votes. In the present case. it has
not yet been determined who had such ma
jority. The votes have never been examined
and never counted by Congress and the re-
suit has never been constitutionallydc declared
by Congress. The first step yet taken which
Lob. Ia. 81 IN 4
is the appointment OF Mr.. PoTrER's commit
tee. The only electoral votes respecting
which there is any dispute are those Of Flori-
da and Louisiana. and that committee Is
appointed TO ascertain by legal and strict
inquiry whether those votes were really cast
for Mr. HAYES or Mr.. TupEN. when that
inquiry is completed. then We shall know
who was elected President; and then "A set
tlemcnt Of tho Presidential controversy may
really Ice reached.
At present there Is no title TO tho Prcsi-
dency which can be called legal. Mr.. HAYES
has no such title. There can be no legal
title except one reached through compliance
with the provisions aud mandate, of the
Constitution. The only title Mr.. HAYES
has was reached through setting those pro
visions aside; and accordingly, in a1ocal
and constitutional sense, il is bad and
worthless title.
It is vain to pretend that tho masses Of
both parties are agreed that President Of
the Umtcd States can be made hy fraud.
that man not elected can be foistcd into
that great Office and that tho people shall
have mo- remedy. The Masses Of both par
ties are not fools or knaye-but the contrary.
