CHRISTIANS IN JAPAN.

a Kioto corresp9ndent Of the Christian
Union says there viii be ten Christians in
the japanese Parliament elected On the LIST
Of last JUy. These ten Christians were
elected il the face of bitter opposition on
accounted their religion. Their election is
the wore remarkable as the Christian popu-
latlon In Japan is as one to about ten thou
sand. Whether the election of Christians
to Parliament may be accepted as an evil
denee of the spread Of religion in Japan re-
mains to be seen. 1t is certainly an evil
dence of liberality on the part of the
Japanese. Perhaps correct solution of
the question may be found in the remark
made by a prominent Japanese writer, who
urged the acceptance of that religion. not
on the ground that it was true, but because
1t is the creed of the most highly civilized
nations. Japan" he said, should wear
the same dress as her neighbors, with whom
she desires to stand we'll" This is not
going very deep into religious questions,
but it is perhaps a fair illustration of the
spirit of the age. In the absence of know
ing exactly what is true, there is disposi-
ton to accept the religion which produces
the best results. But the form of Chris
lianity the Japanese are most inclined to
accept is not one which insists upon the
acceptance OF all the tenets of the Christian
faith. Buddhism in its highest slate"
says Mr.. Kentaro kaneko, Secretary of the
Japanese Privy Council, sand Unitarianism
are just the same" The jump therefore,
from the lower state of Buddhism, which
prevails in Japan, is only a step upward in
the old line Of march. The writer first
quoted thinks it easier to take Unitarian
ism, which comes from the West in the line
Of civilization, than to build up the old
Buddhist doctrines it has had for thou
sand years. Catholics and Evangelical
Froiestants will net see much hope in the
promise OF conversion to Christianity On
the oasis that there is no essential differ
ehce In religious creeds, and consequently
lhe creed should be accepted which is in
fashion at the time

GATHERED IN.

The rumor is on the street that the
Spartan band of Democrats whom Eugene
Deuprey proposed to lead against the Buck
ley hosts has perceived the wisdom OF
Shakespeare's lines:
He who fights and runs away
May live to fight another day.
Whe Their the rumor is exactly true or not,
the Spartans have made haste to indorse
Buckley's nominee for Governor and other
State offices. The terms of surrender are
not published. The Democratic Legisla-
ture and Municipal Convention Will posi-
bly, throw some light upon the considera-
items which induced the Spartans to defer
their advance upon the Buckley guard to a
more favorable period There is not much
hope that indepen dent action on the part OF
a few Democrats who desire office will de-
throne Buckley. As political manager he
is head and shoulders above his associates,
and he has all the lines in his hands. The
only way to beat the boss is to beat him at
the polls,

CRUELTIES OF A PRISON. CELL.

Convicts in the Colorado Penitentiary
Tortured Into Insanity.
a startling story of the horrible cruelties
which the convicts in the Colorado State
Penitentiary at Canyon City are subjected
to has just come to light. A convict, sew
eral days ago, managed to smuggle letter
through the kindness of visitor, and pri-
vate inves tigation has Just resulted in
confederation of all charges made Accord
ing to these charges, at the least otfense
convict is subjected to punishment known
as the drowning process, in which the con-
ivict is strapped to a post so that he cannot
move muscle The instrument of torture
consists of hose With the nozzle within
six inches of the cOnyict's face, stream
with sixty pounds pressure is turned on.
The unfortunate cannot breathe, and when
he opens his mouth he is strangled. The
water is forced down his throat and all
through his head. The punishment is con-
tinued until the convict becomes unc0n-
scious, and then the prison physicians are
called to resuscitate. Many are to-day ply
steal wrecks through this torture.
This means of torture is, however, sur
passed by another. The convict is strapped
TO a bench with his head between two
boards bucket of water is placed over
linn, with small faucet so arranged that
drop of water will drop on his forehead
every five seconds. The victim is generally
kept in this position for an hour, at the end
of which time he is all but lunatic. In
many cases their mind, it is said, becomes
so weak that they never recOver.-Denyer

lin PLATE,

The New York Times says: at is ouite
impossible to find any rational explanation
OF the obstinacy with which the Repnbl-
cans cling to the increased duty on tin
plate" The argument of the Times might
with equal propriety have been applied TO
the iron industry twenty years ago. In
fact, similar arguments were advanced to
show the folly of sufficient duties on iron to
warrant the investment of capital in that
industry. The fact has been established
that under the present duties the tin-plate
industry cannot be successfully prosecuted
in this country. The duty now collected
serves no other purpose than to add to the
revenue of the Government. BY an in

The Canadian Liberals have proclaimed that
at the next session of Parliament they intend to
open the whole question of extending the Domin-
ions trade and commercial relations with this
country. The Administration, it is claimed, Is
aware of the rapidly growing sentiment in that
drectlon and sees danger ahead If it allows this
feeling to gain greater strength before the next
regular election hence Sir John Macdonad's an
nounced determination to dissolve Parliament
and appeal to the country for reelection before
Christmas. This determination may have been
FASTENED by the result OF the Montmoreney eec-
ton, Sir John having scored a victory where de-
feat was predicted by Premier MERCER and other
