part Of every reformcr ut this time,
while Tie minds of the voters are in

the: political bosses get the band wag

partisan prejudice.
Our only hope for success against
trained and INSCRIPTIONS political
leaders. backed up by an enormous
corruption fund. supplied by favored
individuals and soulless corporations,
is through organization and educa-
ton. The principal means at our
command are reform speakers. books
and papers, Much can also be done,
and should be attempted, through in
d,vidual etlort-personal suasion.
Ever. reformcr can make ut least one
convert ia that way during the next
campaign.
1t is indeed strange that men have
to be preached to and prayed with
in order to get them to vote in thcil
own interests. Yet such is the case.
Ignorance and prejudice ale largely
tie cause of the present dcplorab!e
condition OF society. 1t may seem a
,hanl,lcss task, yet we owe it to our
selves and our country to get toSeth-

platform. Especially let us force the
fight in this state for free coinage and
an income tax, and oppose to the last
ditch the issue OF more bonds and the
infamous national banking system

will have 70 pay $500 duty on in

Nearly six months ago tho new oil
works at Berkeley, scenting profit afar
and giving little heed to tho shadow Of
Democratic coming events, sent a spe.
cial agent to Samoa, Tahiti aud other
places with instructions to buy up or
contrac. for 10000 tons Of cocoanuts to

New Treaties

New Treaties
WLsHrxoros, D. G., Sept 1s-The
new treaties which japan is efec.lug
With the grea. powers. including the
United States, arc regarded in diplO-
nltiE circles as an event in inter-
national aHairs quito % important as
the China-Japaneso war, % the treaties

milton 70 Japan as one Of tho sisterhood
Of civilized nations. Tho terms Of the
treaty with Great Britain havo Just
been made public. A similar treaty Is
now being negotiated with this coun-
try, aud It is expected 70 DO tho second
Of new treaties 70 DO signed. Then will
come O like treaty With Germany and
other powers.
The significant feature Of this new
series OF treaties 10 that they for the
fret time deal with the japanese nation
as o civilized nation, entitled 70 the
Same treaty rights as che countries Of
Europe OF the western hemisphere, All
OF tho JRganeae treaties now existing
treat her as half barbarous country,
and arc relies OF the days prior 70 her

These old treaties arc stIll IN force,

The main feature ot tho now treaties 10
that they recognize Japan as full
treaty making power, and make COM
mercial arrangements with her accord
ingly. The old treaty gave the United
Statos uniform tariff rate OF five per
cent adyalorom for sending goods into
Japan, although this country was left

will raise tho japanese rates, on the
principle that tho government is now

ports from tho United States, II is un-
derstood, 10 10 BIO from ak to eight per
cent, and to be a specific instead Of an
advalorom duty. This is the rate IN
the British treaty, aud tho purpose Is to
have them alike.
Another important change Is In OPEN
ing up Japan to Americans and other
foreigners. The old treaties restrict for
eigners 10 certain designated treaty
ports. Japan now proposes 70 throw
open her entire country, making only
enc reservation against the alien owner
