QUALIFICATIONS FOR VOTING.
Sixth Ward Republicans Appoint a
Committee 20 Examine Law.

committee To Examine Law.
The Sixth Ward Republican Club met at
Bellevue hall on Front street last night
and lively discussion took place as to the
law governing registration for primary
elections. Chairman Voigt stated that
several citizens had spoken to him about
the statement which appeared in yester-
days PosT-INTEILIeEScER and wanted TO
hear the opinion of the members present.
r. b. Albertson said that he had not
read the law carefully, but thought that If
a man was known to be n voter of the
ward, and had failed to register. he should
be allowed to vote at the primaries. lie
thought it matter of justice due the
voter.
Major s. w. Clark said he believed
man should be registered, thus insuring
honesty. He maintained that if men were
not registered, men from other wards
would be voted.
Fremont Cole agreed with Mr.. Albert
son that it would be an injustice to shut
out voter because he had unintentionally
failed TO register. He stated that the
county central committee regulated pri-
mary elsctions, and did not think the laws
as provided by the statutes in relation to
registration at elections applied to pri-
maries.
G. f. de Steiguer stated the law plainly,
and vas of the same opinion as Messrs.
Cole and Aibertson.
Chairman Voigt spoke in defense of
registration, and thought the law as pre-
scribed by the statutes should be lived up
to. w V. Rinehsrt and Michael Mooney
both spoke ia favor Of allowing men
known to be Republicans of ward and
who had not registered TO vote at the
primaries.
The matter was left in the hands of the
following committee: George NJ. Stewart,
g. f. de Steigeur and William Voigt
Speeches were made by City Attorney

Much legislation relating to public
lands was accomplished. One act
extends to January, 1897, the time
within which persons may purchase
railroad grant lands forfeited to
the government by the act OF
September 30, 1890, under the con-
ditions of purchase in that act. The
reservation of section 13 in each
township OF the Cherokee outlet,
Tonkawa reservation and Pawnee
reservation lands in Oklahoma for
educational purposes and of section
S3 in each township for public build
ings was ratified and conditions fixed
for the lease of the lands by the
territory. An act was signed pro-
viding for the allotment of certain
lands on the reservation of the
confederated Otoes and Missouri

The houses oi the Japanese are low,
and built OF frame OF wood, with
waiting OF reeds or bamboo, the
interstices filled with mud and covered
with white plaster; the caves are very
wide and veranda extends around
the house. The windows and doors are
frames OF wood covered with paper,
and sliding in grooves; the partitions
are sliding doors, easily removed and
great hall can be eXtemporized. Outer
shutters or "riin doors" protect the
paper doors at night and, in stormy
weather, these are made OF wooden
frames and oiled and vanished paper.
Fire proof warehouses are made by
coating II strong frame OF timber and
bamboo with layers OF mud, amounting
TO foot in thickness; the walls and
doors are all the same thickness. The
merchant stores his goods and families
put their valuables in these. Should a
fire occur near bya mud paste is quickly
made, several candles are lighted within
the warehouse to convert the oxygen
OF the air into carbonic acid gas, the
doors and windows are then closed,
and the mud smeared over the cracks
to make them air tight. Confiagrations
must be frequent, but these fire proof
houses stand. The smaller houses
being constructed OF bamboo are elastic
and not 80 likely to fall into ruin.
| The most noted cities OF Japan are
Toxic (formefly Iedo), the capital,
Kioto, Ozeka, Nagoya, Fuknoka. These
are first class and contain over 2O0,OOt
people. The second class are Nagasaki
Kumamoto, Fukue, Yokohama, contain
ing over 100000. There are probably fifty
more cities that contain about 20OOt
people.
They raise the same domestic animals
that we do, horses, cattle and few hogs
no sheep. They have the same smaller
fur bearing animals, martens, weasels
moles, squirrels. Rabbits are common
The horses are smaller than ours, but
active, in some districts not larger
than Shetland ponies. In the southern
parts monkeys abound; they are killes
and eaten. Rice land is considered abou
five times as valuable as arabic land. Tn,
Japanese cultivate all fruits and vege

THE IDEAL HOME.

From an Exchange.
The ideal home is the one that
ministers to the needs of all those
who make it. 1t is the place where
sympathy, interest, intelligent un-
derstanding of even the moods
of its circle, inspiration, and, above
all, repose, are found. The ideal
home ministers intelligently to the
needs OF the spiritual and intelligent
nature, as well as the physical. Its
development unto perfection de-
pends on the combined efforts of
its responsible members. The ideal
home was never attained by the
efforts of one, but by the co-opera-
tion of all. This does not mean
that each shall fit himself into
mould. A perfect home is like
perfect mosaic, where each part,
with its individual difference, fits
in its place to make the perfect
design.
The corner stone of the ideal
home is love; it is love that is
its life; love is its inspiration, its
defense, its crown of victory. Sor-
row, defeat, shame itself, are
vanquished where love has its
perfect work. 80 world, where
is thy sting? o poverty, where is
thy victoryP" is the paean of him
who is sheltered in the love that
makes the ideal home.

Dai Nihon Tor Nippon) Japan is called
by the natives, but japan is the name we
know it by and that is corruption of
the name given by Marco Polo, the
Venetian traveller, Shi- pen kue, or 'sun-
rise Kingdom" 1t is composed OF -four
large islands and about four thousand
small islands. Their position reminds
one much OF the shape OF Italy. Its area
is 146, 600 square miles, a little larger than
Missouri, Illinois and West Virginia
combined, or five and one half times the
size OF Ireland. The population, owing
to the loose way OF taking "A census, is
estimated at 1900, 900 to 5000, 900. The
latter is right. They count five persons
to the house and strike an average, so it
seems to have about five times the popu
lation to the square mile that we have in
Missouri and Illinois, Ours is nearly all
fertile land, theirs is not, fol. the shores
are rugged and mostly steep with many
baysand inlets on the east side, which
formerly were dangerous, but OF late
years all capes and promontories have
lighthouses and beacons of the best con-

narrows and the shipping made safe.
Japan is not opposite China, but east OF
Corea, the bone OF present contention,
and the southern part OF the Russian
possessions, divided from the main land
by the sea Of Japan, navigable and 1000
miles long by from 100 to 500 miles wide.
Japan is in our latitude or more correctly
l.. g.. - i,l-.
Superior, the climate is like that OF our
Atlantic coast. The north part is covered
with snow for six months, but in the
middle and southern portions vegetation
is about like ours.
The surface OF the whole empire is
almost entirely succession OF hills and
valleys; the soil is mainly diluvium and
disintcgrated lava. 1t is in general
! fertile and well cultivated though large
tracts in Yczo, the north island, lie
uncultiyated through lack OF scientific
agriculture.
There are some active volcanoes. The
largest, 1I,000 teet high, is tho Fuiisan.
Japan could easily maintain double its
population. Wherever possible rice land
| mas been made. AFTER centuries Ol IaDOl
it has been turned into irrigated rice
farms. The annual crop is nearly 2O0,-
100000 bushels, and was until recent
period the standard OF value. Next TO
rice, tea receives most cultivation. All
agriculture is done by hand and with the
rudes, OF tools. Mean temperature is 5!
degrees; first frost about November
18th; ice about December 18th. Rain anC
snow are more common on the west coas
than the east; rains are abundant IL
spring and summer. June is the we
month. At least once in summer or fall t
heavy cyclone (ty-fun) the typhoon blows
over the country, destroying life anc
property to an appalling extent. Tida
waves after earthquakes are frequent anc
fearfully destructive. The entire grouT
OF islands is volcanic. Earthquakes o
more or less force are frequent, and the
rumbling and motion OF the ground il
nothing surprising or uncommon.

THEOLOGY OF LOADED GUNS.

From the Schel City News.
Years ago an old hard shell
preacher, who lived on the border in
the days when the Indians were at
war with the whites, was making
preparations one morning to go to
his church, miles away, through a
country infested with savages. He
was carefully loading his old flint
lock rifle to take along, when friend
present remarked: "What are you
gong to take that gun along for, old
man9 Don't you know that II it is
foreordained for the Indians to kill
you that the gun won't save your"
"That's very true" said the old
man, as he deliberately rammed the
ball home, shut suppose it is fore
ordained that the Indians shall be
killed. How would the good Lord
carry out his purpose If ! didn't
have my gun alongf" That was a
cIincher, and closed the debate then
and there.

A MANS HAT.

From Harper's Bazaar:
OF famous royal wooer it was
once related that his bride being
brought from her home overseas to
his palace, having been welded by
proxy, as the old custom was, he
met her on her landing with gifts
galore, chief and foremost among
which were three beautiful bonnets.
The lady had been pleasantly
impressed by what she had heard,
but what she now saw accomplished
her conquest, and from that day on
she was devoted to her lord. The
bonnets were irresistible. A be-
coming bonnet is the cap sheaf of
beauty. The French woman under
stands this, and with deft touches
she pulls out her bows and smooths
her ribbons and keeps her bonnet
always in the freshest and daintiest
order.
But a mans hat! Once it was a
chapeau, plumed and laced, with
gold cords and silken tassels. In
the portraits of vandyck and Frank
Halls the sweeping broad -brimmed
hats make fine show.
The nineteenth-century man OF
business is not hated for display, but
for action. The nat Ii useful
part of his costume, and, so that II
be brushed and in shape, the main
interest 1t has for its wearer is salts
fed. For society it has another
interest, and this is in the mans
manner of handling his hat or
Occasions of ceremony or in ordinary
intercourse with others. No mar
who has the least claim to be gen.
tleman keeps his hat on In tn,
company OF woman. Even IL th'
women are people whom he meet
in business relations, and In those
only, he defers to the sex by re-
moving his hat in the office and Il
the counting room as he would II
the drawing room. A man takes Of
his hat In the elevator which carrie
him when 1t also carries ladies'. HI

THE WORK OF CONGRESS.
MANY ACTS OF IMPORTANCE HIS
BEEN PASSED.

A review of the legislation which
has been accomplished by the
second session of the Atty third
congress shows that much has
been done aside from the engross-
ing tariff struggle. One of the most
important acts of the session which
passed both houses by q strictly
party vote, being in fulfillment OF
plank in the democratic platform,
was the act repeating all laws
creating federal supervisors of cleo Z
tions or defining their powers.
The act to enable the people
of Utah to form a constitution
and state government, and to be
admitted into the union Oh an
equal footing with the original
states, provides tie machinery by
which the territory will be admitted,
probably in December, 1895, by
adopting constitution providing
republican form of government
and insuring against the supremacy
of any church; the government
ceding it much public land for
educational and charitable institu-
tions.
An act making the first Monday
in September legal holiday, to
be called labor day, was passed
largely at the instance of labor
organizations, while scientific So
cieties urged the act to define and
establish the units of electrical
measurement be made law.
Several measures were enacted in
accordance with the recommends
tions of the Dockery commission
$50 -called) for improving and am
plifying the methods of doing the
government business. Most i'm
portant were those changing the
method of auditing accounts in
the treasury department, improving
the methods of accounting in the
post office department and changing
the money order system and that
regulating the making of property
returns by the officials of the
government.

The pearl fisheries are a profitable in
dustry.
The Japs manufacture much OF the
light ware Of wood, leather, bamboo and
metal. They weave fine brocades, silk
fabrics, camlets, grapes and cotton goods.
Their japanned ware is world famous,
as all who have visited the Vienna, Paris
and Chicago fairs can testify Some OF
their handiwork is to be found in every
household in our land. Their initiative
talent is wonderful, and the engraving
and tracery on copper, bronze, iron and
steel and carving in wood and stone
is surprise to the beholder. They make
fine swords of iron with II steel edge,
metals are inlaid with silver and gold
with wonderful skill The manufacture
OF glass is still in its infancy; only
simple articles are made Of inferior
quality.
Almost every house, rich or poor, has
its garden and these are usually "A minia-
ture landscape. Gardners have attained
the art OF dwarfing as well as enlarging
vegetable productions. In the miniature
gardens and flower shows, they exhibit
full grown trees OF various kinds two
and three feet high. Pine trees three
inches; bamboo two inches; and bios
soming plum trees six inches high are
common Trees and plants are also
trimmed to grow and resemble birds,
tortoises, quadruped-, men, ships, noun
tains, etc. In ornamental gardening they
possess wonderful skill.
