Reciprocity With japan.
New York Sun.

Because of ,Iapans unsatisfactory relations
with Russia. China, and Corea, she has not
yet been able 70 apply her energies TO the
development OF the commerce OF the Pacific
Ocean in tho direction OF tho American cunti-
nrut But we know of n very large scheme
in which the Mikado's government Is inter
estod for the extension OF steamship com
munication between japanese and American
ports on the Pacific. through which 1t Is be-.
lieyod that Japanese exports to this country
will be- greatly increased. There are already
over lU0 articles classified among the japanese
products marketed in this country, the chief
of which are silk goods. carpets, bronze ware
and teas. II makes one smile TO learn that the
Japanese are prepared to furnish Us with
lager beer. coal, tobacco, luclfer matches, and
other things. at rates far below those that
have ever ruled in the American market, and
that they can ship these articles 20 us con.
stantiy in such quantities as may be desired.
Tho Japanese do not seem 10 think much
about tho goods they to take from this
country in exchange for their products. We
are q good customer for japan, the best she
has and we must look 90 her for more custom
than she has yet favored us with. The newly
appointed Japareso consul 10 tho port of New
York recently made this remark when ques.
toned upon the subject. Japan requires "A
large amount OF machinery, and " the United
states can supply 10 as choaply as the English
or tho Germans. think there ought to be a
large demand upon America by Japan

INSTRUCTION IN HAPPINE SIS.

INSTRUCTION IN HAPPINESS.
We hear with delight of a rumor that
one OF our high institutions Of learning
is to establish Chair OF Happiness. An
endowment from the will of a philan-
thropic gentleman OF wealth has been
made, as we learn, from the income Of
which the salary OF the Professor of
Happiness Is to be paid, and all ex-
penses OF intoxicating tn principles there
OF will be met except such as are covered
ty the regular tuition fees.
1t appears that the philanthropic de
ceased had never been happy in all his
life, as he explains in those provisions
in his will that make the hequest.' We
understand that he was a man of educa-
ton, wealth, and what were apparently
golden opportunities for happiness, but
owing 10 defects in his nature or early
training he had sought in vain for hap
piness. He had learned how to secure
a lot Of things but he did rot know how
to be happy. 1t was accordingly his
last desire that something lie
done to inculcate the principles OF hap.
pdness among the people and no knew OF
10 better way than to establish chair
snd endow professorship in one of our
colleges wherefrom so m I,h OF modern
development emanates and influences the
mass OF the people in ever widening cir
cles.
1t was q capital idea, it seems to US. we
take it there is no hidden secret OF hap
piness TO he vainly sought for like
fountain OF youth. The possession OF
happiness is matter OF natural capacity
and OF training. Given natural capac ~,
training is yet necessary, just as genius
in any particular branch OF the arts or
science must have the promoting infu-
onces OF practice and education to secure
It's fulton. With nature happily dis.
posed, the professor OF happ mess will
have an easy time of it, Just as the
professor of mathematics finds il
only an eBj yysble task 10 train
and educate the student who
is born Mathematician. But with the
many to whom Nature has given but
small capacity for happiness aud to such
is thorough education in happiness
most TO be desired, the newly established
chair OF Happiness Will perform All inesti-
mable service and so benefit all mankind.
How we should envy the young msn. or
young woman, who would take rank at
the head OF the senior class In happi-
ness, pass an examination with mark OF
100, so go forth into the world witha DE-
pioma that would mean more OF JOY than
all tho rest ~ the degrees ever conferred
But who wilt be selected FOR the Pro-
lessor oi Happiness?
That will be quite problem, We take
it.

The case of william Wright, a notori-
Gus criminal, furnishes an example OF how
habitual criminals are dealt with in New
York. Wright was known as Roaring
Bill, and as a sneak thief had robbed in
many States throughout the Union. He
wss frequently convicted and imprisoned,
but after serving out his sentences he in
variably returned d to his Old tnieving trade.
He finally struck Rhode Island and came
10 grief. One day he stoie from n train
bound from Stonington 10 this city
sellskin saCque and a satchel containing
400 worth OF property Detective Par
ker quickly ran him down. He was
tried, convicted and sentenced to four
years Imprisonment at Cranston. While
in confinement he nearly lost his life
through an assault made on him by
Duumunway, the desperate robber, who
attacked him with hammer and beat
him into insensibiiity. AT the expira-
tion OF bis sentence Roaring Bill came
into Providence, where he spent few
hours eudeavoring to get some one to
listen TO his tales OF cruelty on the part
of the prison management, but failed.
and skipred to other fields.

Another law which would be welcomed
by the police authorities is one that Will
make the possession Of burglars tools
punishable offense. Ii IS by law already
lllegal TO carry concealed weapons. Ihat
Is Tor the protection OF the lives OF the
people; but the people arc entitled to
protection in their property as we'll. Why
not then punish the man who carries
with him, or has in his possession, in
struments, the only use for which is 10
enable him to rob pt ople OF their property?
Were there such statute now in force
the safe breaker who left his tools in
satchel temporarily at the Narragansett
Hotel would not have slipped away from
the police after they had once got him
sa.ely behind the bars.
Those who do not view this matter in
the proper light will, Of course, cry out
against the enactment OF such a law and
VIII contend that it is oppressive and
sumptuary legislation. But wherein is
IL oppressive? Assuredly no honest man
will nave burglars jimmy in his pocket,
because such tool is not needed in any
legitimate trade or calling Possession
OF IL ought TO be regarded as prima facie
evidence OF intent TO commit crime, and
should make he possessor liable TO pun
ishment. A statute which viii seize upon
and punish the intending Grim inal be-
fore he has had an opportunity to COM
NIT contemplated crime, Is at least as
necessary for the protection OF the com
munity as the law which takes him after
the crime and -punishes him then. In
deed, the former seems TO be even OF
greatre value than the latter. though

CONvIcTS HIMSELF.
Durrant Does not Help His Case on Cross
Examination.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 1l.-Under the
rigid cross-examination of District
Attorney Barnes yesterday, Theodore
Durrant made a number of answers
regarded as decidedly discriminating
inasmuch as they appear i'm direct con-
fiict with well established facts. Be
sides, he gave an explanation of a
clew regarding Blanche Lamont's
said to have been re-
ceived by him, that was so palpably
a falsehood that everybody i'm the
court room laughed aloud. The
sitting atmosphere of the over
crOwed court room came to Durrant's
rescue and he was enabled to recover
recess that followed. When he again
came to the stand his old time SELF
assurance was at his command and
he remained calm during the most
trying ordeals. Without a tremor
Durrant handled Blanche Lamont's
torn clothing, found hidden away in
little crevices of the belfry, and de-
MED that he had secreted the gar
ments.
But the prosecution is nevertheless
well satisfied with the days work.
for it had accomplished what had
never been done before-Durrant,
for a moment, lost his wonderful
self-possession and had been caught
i'm a number of bare-faced untruths.
Durrant was asked to explain his
statement to Herbert Schlagater
that Miss Lamont had probably
been enticed into "a house of ill-repute.
The district attorney asked him
what there was i'm Miss Lannon'S s
manner or character that induced
him to make such a remark. Dur
rant said he knew nothing against
her, but had heard Detective Anthony
say that she had probably been led
astray.

Tariff Reform" As II Is.

An excellent example of the thing
called Tariff Reform i'm practical
operation lately occurred i'm the course
of the business of a prominent whole
sale clothier of New York City.
Tempted by a bait of low prices, he
had ordered of an English importing
house a line of what purported to be
1S-ounce clay worsteds. When the
goods We're received and opened, the
clothier observed a suspicious damp
ness about them. They were weighed
and found to tip the scales at exactly
the stipulated Is ounces per yard.
Then the clothier concluded to ex-
pose them to the air and dry them.
again he found that they had mean
while fallen off to 16h ounces per
yard. That is, the clothier had been
buying cheap foreign goods and
paying for water.
The English manufacturer had de-
liberately wet his light and fiimsy
fabrics to bring them up to weight,
This is known as conditioning" and
is said to be regularly practiced in
England. 1t would yield, SO it is es-
timated, an extra profit of So on
every piece of goods which Tariff re-
form enabled the canny Briton to
sell to the unsuspecting Yankees.
Under the Mckinley Tariff there was
a specie duty on the weight, in ad-
dition to the ad valorem duty which
made such trickery well nigh impos-
sible.
And Tariff reform was going to
give the American people not only
cheaper but better clothing!-Boston
Journal.
