In this country the action Of France. Ger
many and Russia in depriving Japan Of
the greater part Of the fruits Of her sac
cessful war against China has been very
generally condemned. and much sympathy
has been expressed for Japan. II. however,
John 4. CockeriIl. the Hersld's cores
pOndent in Japan. understands the situa-
ton in that country the hostility Of the
powers named and their action in depriv-
ing Japan OF territory she was to have had
from China have been OF inestimable bene-
fit TO her.
There are a number Of political factions
In japan and the majority Of the numbers
Of them are by no means satisfied with the
policy OF Count Ito. the premier Of the
government. They would have brought on
a political revolution and endangered the
integrity Of the empire II there had been
no threatening enemy 20 deal with. The
fact that Russia is aiming % absorb Korea
and the certainty that France and Ger
many are both anxious 10 get part Of the
territory coded to Japan by China has caus-
ed the leaders of the factions to make
strong appeals to the people to hold to-
gether and not permit political differences
TO weaken the government. These appeals
have been needed. and just at present there
is no danger Of internal disturbances Of a
political nature.
From Mr.. CockerilIs statement there
fore the hostile course of France. Germany
and Russia has been a good thing for ia
pan. Russia has not yet obtained all she
wants. She is trying to get control of Ko-
rea. and it would not be at all surprising if
she were successful in her undertaking.
Japan is doing her best to hold on TO Ko-
rea, but if Russia should tell her plainly
she must abandon that country she would
feel under the necessity, in all probability,
of obeying the order. She would stand very
little chance Of making a successful fight
against such power as Russia.
Now that the list Of killed and wounded
on the Japanese side during the war be-
tween Japan and China is made known it
doesn't appear that Japan is entitled to
great deal of credit for defeating the ar
mics of China. Only SOB japanese were kill
ed in battle. The number of the wounded.
but not fatally, was less than $1,000 About
nine times as many japanese soldiers died
from cholera and other diseases as were
killed in battle and died OF their wounds
These figures show that the Japanese were
unopposed in their march into
China. If they should have a war with
Russia they would have fighting to do that
would show different results on the battle
field. Until they are tested with some
such power as Russia it would not be safe
TO conclude that they are great soldiers. 1t
Is true they are well drilled, finely disci-
plined and that they acted well in the war
with China, but the Chinese didn't fight.
They ran away whenever the enemy APP
preached, unless they were cornered and
couldn't run. While it may be true that
the Japanese would show soldierly quail
ties of the very highest order If opposed
by an army of Russia, or other great pow
er. still it doesn't follow from their aehiev-
ments in China that they would.

Something HomeIike,

The man from the unpublished southwest
had been knocking around New York for
several days, but his environments didn't
fit him, and the consequence was he was
going slightly lame. The clerk at the hotel
where he stopped noticed his condition, and
once or twice the guest used rather disre-
spectful language concerning the metro
polls and its ways as compared with his
own home Yesterday afternoon, however
a change appeared to have come over the
scene, and when he entered the hotel Office
and leaned up against the counter while
the clerk got his key, he was radiant.
Well" inquired the clerk, how do you
like New York by this timer
"'Tain't so dern bad" responded the
visitor.

The Richmond CVa) Dispatch a strong
advocate Of the free coinage of silver,
practically gives up the fight, because it
thinks it sees that the forces against free
coinage are too strong for its friends. The
Dispatch regards il as settled that the re-
publicans will not aid the free Coinage men
sound money in their platform, while the
strongest influences in the Democratic
party are also against the attempt of the
United States to restore silver alone. Fur
thermore, the friends of silver must win
their fight now or not at all, and unless
they carry the democratic convention next
year, and afterward the country they will
never carry it-which is the same as saying
that in the opinion of the Dispatch the
free coinage scheme is hopelessly defeat
ed, excepting on an international basis
Other silver organs are less frank than
the Dispatch. but many of them give signs
Of having reached the same conclusions.
