JOURNALISM IN JAPAN.

fihcs raid Ia Aslvtncc-No Woman Al
lowed TO I:dit Paper.
Journalism in Japan appears to be
surrounded by some stern restrictions,
the dcsira billy of abolishing or amend
ing which has lately been occupying the
attention of the Japanese parliament
In Europe, according to the London
Standard. when newspapers offend
against the law, fines are inflicted on
the editor. writer, printer, or publisher.
as the ease may be; but in Japan it ap-
pears that the journalists begin by pay
ing fine, though the amount may pos
sibly be returned to them in course of
tiinc-for that is the practical result of
dcpositing sums of money with the an
thoritics, varying from three hundred
and fifty to one thousand yen yearly, as
evidence of good faith. If fines are in
tiictcd, at any rate of less than the
amount OF the deposit, there can be no
question of non-payment.
a motion was made to abolish this de-
post, as also the power of the govern
mcnt to suspend paper which pub
lished anything calculated to disturb
the public peace, but the right of sus.
pension was retained by eighty-onc
votes 10 torty-elght; and as to the de-
STABILITY of demanding the security,
the house was unanimous 1t was OK
planned that the house felt the necessity
of keeping some check on ''irresponsi-
bic agitators unfit to weld journalistic
influence" and there is good deal 10
10 said for the contention. "Womcn's
rights advocates will be extremely Of
Tended at one amendment which was
accepted. No woman is allowed to be-
come an editor on publisher in Japan.
Whether women are permitted to write
for publications does not appear but it
is decided that the work of editing or
publishing is neither desirable or be-
coming for females. If ladies are not
to be allowed to describe dresses and
criticise the fashions, who is to under
take that grave responsibility? 1t is
clear, however, that if ladies may do
this their work must always be edited
by male hand; and when that hand
belongs to the father of IL family, with
stern views of economy and a lack OF
artistic perception. there is no saying
what ideas may not be promulgated.

THE PRIMARIES.

This is the last day for registration
bafore the p imary. That citizsn whose
name is not on tho registration books
tonight will stand poor show of get
ting his vote in at the primaries to,mor.
ron.
In connection herewith we believe
that scores of good citizens who two
weeks ago had decided against entering
the primaries have now decided to do
SO and vote for the best candidates.
They have concluded that staying away
from the polls will serve TO defeat the
very men they should support.
From this point Of view it is not dill
cult 10 find a strong reason for entering
the primaries, and scores OF those who
had concluded to stay away will now
show u and cast a ballot for the best
men.

After Many Years.

John McGrail, who has been absent
for ten years in Montana, met his par
ents and family unexpectedly in The
Dalles yesterday. The family were in
town for the circus and John happened
to be here at the same time, en- route to
the old folks home in Kingsley, intend
ing to happily surprise them with his
sudden appearance. John has changed
from beardless boy of IL years to a
strapping, broad-chested man over six
feetin height, and had SO totally changed
in appearance that he passed unrecog-
nized. Not so with the family. He
recognized them at once and his heart
thumped with the sudden joy which is
unexplainable to those who have not had
a similar experience. 1t required great
self control to keep from bursting into
tears as he saw the familiar features of
his childish acquaintance, and noted,
with nerves strung to the highest ten
sion, the changes which Father Time
had made in the faces of his beloved
parents. After acquainting the others
of the family of his identity, he pro-
longed the pleasure Cor pain, which is
it?) of making himself known to his
mother, and passed her several times on
the street purposely to see if she would
not recognize him. But the transforma-
ton was so thorough she did not, and
when he stepped before here and ut
tered the magical word "mother!" the
good old lady almost tainted from the
sudden meeting. It is safe to assume
that the shades of evening settled upon
no family gathering happier than the

washington Compared.

We will hear great deal said on the
4th about George Washington. That
George was good boy and man nobody
will deny. But simply because he
didn't tell lie because he couldn't,
doesn't entitle him to very much credit.
Compare his little hatchet and cherry
tree experience with one of our town
boys who killed an old hen, the mother
of brood of chickens, the other day.
When Georges father asked him about
it, he simply answered: Father, /
cannot tell lie, done it with my little
hatchet." while the boy of the period
answered when asked by his mother if
he killed the hen: "You betcher life !;
she was eating up the cabbage, and
blow me if I didn't take her napper.'
The boy could have lied, but he didn't
and the chances are that a hundred
years from now you won't hear his
name mentioned, although his possibil-
tiles are as bright as Washington's.-

Indians saw body floating in the

Sanger & Lent's circus is very nefitor-
ious. The acrobats, contortiohist and
special features were good. 1t had but
one ring, and the return to the olden
style is popularly pleasing. Three rings
are bewildering and unless one is cross
eyed the acts are unsatisfactory because
of their variety. They were rather light
on animals, but on the whole did very
well.
Mr.. Eastwood dressed up the windows

horses, elephants, band wagon, mounted
men and animals of all kinds led to a

tions to the crowd. It was good take-off
and was quite an attraction to scores OF
people who passed along Second street.

Ed Griffin of 15-Mile is in town. He
&ports that there was heavy frost yes

which were over foot high, were killed
for half their length. Grain is also Sc
riously hurt. The story is confirmed by
various other reports to the effect that
light frosts occurred on the creek bot
toms and in some places thin layer OF
ice. The continued cool weather is re-
markable, and the year 1898 will doubt
Jess prove the coldest on record.
