The sweeping character Of the political
change in japan is indicated by the fact
that of the 929 members OF the new par
lament Just elected, ia are Radicals, 80

A Stretch of the Imagination.

From the st. Joe News.
Mr. Mckinley should look after that
new airship company. The capital
stock of the corporation is 100000.
If the invention can do what it Is
claimed for it the protected manufac-
turers could well afford to put up that
amount, or twice as much, to buy out
the patent and throw the models into
the fire. With aerial navigation an &C
cOmplished fact there will be an end not
only to all tariffs for protection, but
even of tariffs for revenue. When air
ships can sail over the boundary at any
point and land their cargoes at any
house within the whole extent of the
country, the occupation of custom house
officers will clearly be gone. As Henry
George remarked, the only way of pro-
tecting the country under such circum-
stances, will be to roof it in.

prophetic powers.

Autumn.

From the Wellington Mail.
Autumn, by many, is considered the
greatest season of the year The
weather is bright and beautiful, the air
Is soft and balmy and all nature seems
to be at peace. The woods present a
scene fit for an artists brush; the leaves
of the trees have been touched by frost
and their bright green has been trans
formed into the brightest colors of the
rainbow. All nature is lovely and an
air of peace, happiness and contentment
prevades the atmosphere.
