JAPAN A FIRsT-CLAss POWER.
Formal Recognition of That Fact in
the New Treaty.

1VAhaA 1IOVVS ulGlUu VI 1UdL fHCV III
the New Treaty.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE full
text of the new treaty between the
United States and Japan govern.
ments, exclusively in the Associat.
ed Press dispatches last night, has
been the main subject for comment
in diplomatic and official circles to-
day. 1t was scanned with great in
terest, as it gave the first exact de-
tails of the instrument by which
the United States formally recog-
nizes Japan as a first class power in
the sisterhood of republics, Rough
summaries of the treaty, based on
guess work and conjecture, had
previously been given, but the pub
lication through the Associated
Press was the first opportunity Of
fered to inspect verbatim copy of
a document which is guarded with
the strictest of secrecy.
The treaty shows how fully the
United States has accorded Japan
the recognition she has now as an
enlightened, modern nation.
All previous treaties have been
based on the theory that the relics
of eastern barbarities still remained
with Japan, Accordingly she was
not allowed to conduct her own
courts or to make her own tariff
laws, but special treaty regulations
were made to protect American lit
igants and American commerce in
Japau on the presumption that the
native laws would not afford ade-
quate protection. Running through
the new treaty are the concessions
recognizing her courts and laws as
ample for Americans, as we'll as ma
tives, This is the chief feature of
the treaty, The only consular
courts in which the United States
consuls tried cases at japanese
treaty ports, are abandoned. In
stead Of them all cases, civil and
criminal, in which an American is
concerned, will be tried by the ma
tive courts.
The right of Japan to make her
own tariff laws is also recognized.
Heretofore the United States has
been free to make such tariff laws
as she saw fit affecting Japan, but
the latter was forbidden by treaty
from fixing duties above 5 per cent
ad valorem.
The protocol of the new treaty
recognizes the general statutory
laws of Japan concerning the tariff,
and articles 4 and 5 gives her for
the first time, the favored nation
clause, by which she is guaranteed
against any higher duties than
those the United States imposed on
other countries.
The abolition of the foreign set
Elements and their absorption by
the native cantons of Japan, is an
other recognition of her advanced
organizations,
On the other hand, the United
States secures many substantial
advantages The missionaries who
make up such a very large class in
Japan, are guaranteed freedom Of
worship and protection in that wor-
ship.
The main concession however, Is
that of article 2, by which Japan is
opened up to American commerce.
Heretofore Americans have been
restricted to a few treaty ports of
Japan, They could not reside or
carry on business, or even travel in

THE SUGAR TRUST.

The Courier-Journal thus enumer.
ates the inequalities of the Sugar
Trust:
The history of the Sugar ring is a
most disgraceful record of recent
years. The Peoria Whiskey Trust
manipulated as it has been for the
worst purposes at all times, is less
powerful, has had far less capacity
for evil, perhaps because of the
popular prejudice against the trade
hand has never so openly attempt
ed to influence legislation. The
standard oil monopoly has largely
contented itself with bulldosing
railroads and grinding the life out
of weaker rivals by every artilice
that devilish ingenuity and the wan
ton lust of power could suggest,
The great iron and steel syndicates
though eqdally active have kept as
far as possible beneath the surface,
The A merican Sugar Refining Com
pany and Claus Spreckels have not
hesitated to enter the legislative
halls of the nation and demand that
laws be enacted to increase their
vast fortunes. They have not even
had the saving grace to deny their
attempts, Both political parties
have been approached and the SUI
gar millionares have unblushingly
confessed to giving freely to the
campaign funds of both. 1t is no
wonder that such extraordinary
conduct at last besmirched members
of that august body which has been
proudly referred to as the greatest
deliberative assembly of'the whole
world.
The enormous power welded by
these monopolists cannot be appre-
eiated at first thought. The slight
est rumor affecting sugar sets Wall
street to gambling, Stocks can be
raised or deprecated and fortunes
made and lost at a word, The nuct-
uations Of last month have enriched
a few gamblers and beggared many
people, but there has been no let up
in the agitation. Now at the re-
assembling of congress Havemeyer
comes forward nnabashed, confident
that a revenue tariff can be success
fully opposed, and demanding a re-
newal of the special legislation
which gave him such autocracy Of

der that President Cleveland, in
one of the few vigorous portions of
his message, asked for the abolition
Of the remnant of protection a too
indulgent congress left these shame

Still, the Democrats owe debt
of gratitude to the sugar trust. It's
blind greed and persistence have
plainly shown to which political
party It has been most indebted
for favors Not even the re-en-
forcement It has received from the
sugar planters of Louisiana can
help II much longer, The repeal of
the sugar bounty was one of the
most popular features Of the Wilson
law, and the total placement of
the ditlerential protection for this
alleged declining industry would be
received with applause by the
whole country, Nothing but a
purely revenue duty without re-

tant from the popular music hall known
as the Gazette Rochechouart, where roll

songs Of too broad description to suit
the taste of Senator Beranger are en-

an audience composed Of the peculiar

Remembering the traditional respect

to find it largely patroniZed. On entering
