Another Effort TO Enlist the Courts.

DENVER, COL, June 1.-Another bill was
filed in the federal court by c. S. Thomas
for the Raven Gold Mining company OF
West Virginia, asking for an injunction to
prevent the miners from interfering with
the working of its properties at Cripple
Creek. The bill recites that the title to the
land is still vested in the United States gov
ernment and that the strikers are preventing
the plaintiff from prosecuting improvements
necessary to prove up the claim.
The bill also sets forth that the state Off
cials have refused to give the plaintiff pro-
lection. Argument on the application was
heard by Judges Halett and Rlner. If the
injunction is granted, United States troops
will probably be sent against the miners.

Peculiar Wisdom.

Mr.. Edward Atkinson, of Massachusetts,
is man Of intelligence on certain lines, Is
often useful in the assertion of his peculiar
views, and is one of the few whom modesty
does not become. He is SO constituted thatlt
causes him pain if he happens to agree with
any body else who is as wise as himself and
reaches conclusions like his own. 1t is not
strange, therefore, that a man so eccentric,
so becomingly conceited in the assertion OF
his gifts, should think Thomas F. Bayard
q better manager of our Consular affairs
aad more devoted to an efficient civil
service than James G.. Blaine. This
astonishing expression of non-partisan fair
ness Edward Atkinson put forth at the re-
cent Reform Club meeting ia Boston. The
novelty as well as absurdity of this opinion
of the Boston mugwump are strikingly IL
lustrated by the fact, that Bayard is now abb
sent from his highly important post as
American Ambassador at London and is
dabbling in the Democratic politics of Della
ware and, on an extreme partisan stump,
defending the iniquities of the Wilson bill
and of Cieveland's Administration. This
open contempt of the civil service reform
aud of the spirit of the civil service law is
strikingly manifest to the American public
but not to this peculiar Boston free trader
1t is no wonder that Democratic re-
former is cross-eyed and eccentric as Ed
think that the Consular service under Sec
rotary Bayard was better than under Secre-
tary Blaine, though all well informed per-
sons on the subject know the truth to have
been just the reverse what this modest re-
former asserts,

Enqiisbmen in Hawaii.

From the Honolulu Hawaiian Gazette
"Visitors in these islands, are frequently
misinformed about the attitude of the En-
glish residents towards the revolutionary
movement. While many of them are cor
dial supporters of the present government,
there are some, who prefer restoration of
the monarchy, with an occupant of the
throne, other than the ex-Queen. With
these may be placed the officers of the
British ships of war, that visit our port.
These officers do not fail to indicate their
preferences, generally in a courteous,
and sometimes in a Gerry ofcnSice ray.
This attitude of neutrality or of antagon-
ism to the Republic is due in some measure
to the conditions of trade. The existence
of the Republic means probable annexa-
ton to the United States, and this, of
course, means injury 10 British commerce,
ia these islands, so far as the American
system is hostile to it,"
These irate Britains we'll understand that
with the fall of the Hawaiian monarchy has
disappeared the last hope of obtaining Eng
hsh control of the beautiful and most
valuable island group.

The Remarkable Industrial Development. OF
Japan.

The New York Sun has taken from lie
Genie Civil some very significant statistics
which show what a strong, if not danger
Gus rival Japan has already become to the
Western nations. Within the last ten years
the introduction of machinery and the en-
deavor to manufacture articles cheaply and
in large quantities has transformed the ma
tive industries. Japanese pottery is no
longer bought merely for its artistic quail
tiles. 1t is now made by patterns and ex-
ported in quantities. In 1884 $4,000 work.
men made 70, 100000 pieces; in 1888 some
81 900 workmen made 1876 900, 900 pieces.
The expectation rose from half million
pieces, valued at 81 200 COO, in the former
year, to q million and half, worth ST.
400 900, in the latter. In TIE manufacture
Of silk goods there is like development.
Though the japanese are not yet able to
of Europe, and though they do not dye their
silks, the exports rose from $685. in
1887 to $l,S00, 900 in 1891, in which year,
too, So 800 900 worth of silk handkerchiefs
were sent out, of which 81 100000 worth
went to the United States. The same holds
good of other products peculiar to the coun-
try, of lacquer, of bronzes, and of paper.
Besides the Japan paper, they now manu-
facture excellent paper like ours.
put 10 in tho nav i'm
ported from the West that the progress of
Japan is most surprising. That in some of
these she must shortly drive the Western
nations from the Eastern markets seems in
evtable. After the Paris Exposition of
1878 the japanese government imported
from Europe the most improved machinery
for cotton spinning, and distributed it in Ger
tain provinces; in 1884 there were $4,000
bobbins; now there are over $50 ,O00 the
81 900, 900 pounds of raw cotton imported
in 1889 had become g. 900 600 in 1891;
up to that year the greater part had come
from China; then suddenly more than half
was taken from British India. The country
is steadily diminishing its importations of
manufactured articles and increasing that
of raw material. The 100000 pounds
of textiles imported in 1889 had sunk to
90 900, 900 in 1891; in 1898 Hong Kong, a
British colony, bought half million dol
lars worth of japanese cotton cloth. The
Japanese have already begun to supply
their own markets with the goods formerly
furnished by Europe, and have invaded the
centres of distribution in which the West
has hitherto held monopoly. With the
best machinery of the West at their COM
mand, with their recognized artistic and in
ventive skill, with labor paid II cents a day
for man and six cents for woman, they
should be able to undersell any competitor.

4 Blind Guide.

The Boston Herald, a very flexible but
dopmatic Democratic newspaper, intimates
that Harold Sewall, in abandoning the
Democratic party and taking his place
among these who advocate the protection
of American manufactures and American
ships, shows that he belongs to "past gen.
Grafton. This singular mistake of the Herald
results from the fact that those blind from
birth too often think others as incapable of
compreheuding the light as themselves. IT
there are any political editors or any eco
nomic dogmas that belong to the past genera
ton they are of the Herald school. Golden
ism is out of date and in decline nearly
everywhere outside of Great Britain,
and there it is distinctively system of pro-
lection growing out of that country's spec
ial and exceptional resources and condi-
tons. la all the chief countries of Europe
except England, free trade has grown into
disrepute, and no statesmen of high
reputation endorse it by their words or
official acts The recent elections in the
United States are conclusive proof in the
same direction. and what is to take place
November 9Th, will afford like testimony.
In joining the Republicans because they
stand for the protection of American labor,
American factories, and American ships, Mr..
Sewall accepts the teachings of Andrew
jackson, Abraham Lincoln, w. II. Seward,
and Ulysses S. Grant, as TO what American
home and foreign policy should be. He
thus plainly shows that he has a clearer I'M
derstanding of the present, and sharper
insight into the future, than the blind, doc
tyiRafre school of the Herald.
