Each COmDositOr Handles 1000
Different Pieces of Metal.
Pittsburg Dispatch.
There are very keen journalists in
Japan, but it must be allowed that
the business is carried on under diff
hcuitles from which even the hard
ened Western newspaper man might
be excused from shrinking. The Japan
| csc written and printed characters con-
sist of the Chinese ideographs, those
complicated, square figures made up
of an apparent tumble of zizzags and
crosses and ticks and triangles and
tails-'the footprints of d drunken fly
and of the original Japanese syllabary
called kama
Of the former there are 10000 in all,
of which perhaps 14,G00 constitute the
scholars vocabulary, and no fewer
than 1000 are in daily use, while the
forty-seven simple characters of the
kama are known to everybody. There
fore, the japanese compoSitor has to
be prepared to place in his stick any
one of over 1900 different types-truly
an appalling task.
From the nature Of the problem sew
eral consequences follow. First, he
must be somewhat of a scholar him
self to recognize all these instantly and
accurately. Secondly, his sight suffers
fearfuily, and he generally wears
large pair Of magnifying glasses, and
thirdly, as it is physically impossible
for any man to reach 1900 types a total
ly different method of arrangement has
to be devised.
The compositor, therefore of whom
there are only three or four on q
paper, sits with table at one END
Of a large room, with a case contains
ing his forty-seVen kama Syllables be-
fore him. From end to end of the
room tail cases OF type are arranged
like the shelves in a crowded library,
g passage three feet wide being Left
between each two.
The compoSitor receives his copy in
large pieces, which he cuts into little
takes" and hands each of these to
one of a half dozen boys, who assist
him. The boy takes this and pro-
ceeds to walk abeIt-among the cases
till he has collected each of the ideo-
graphs, or square Chinese picture
words, emitting all the kama Syllabies
which connect them.
While the boys are thus running to
and fro, snatching up the types and
jostling each other they keep up
continual chant, singing the name OF
the character they. are looking for,
as they cannot recognize it till they
hear its sound, the ordinary lower
class Japanese not unders landing his
daily paper unless he reads it aloud.

CALAMITY THE ISSUE.

The Republican committee of the
state of New York had a meeting
a while age, and, among other things,
the political situation and prospects
were discussed. We made some COM
ment the other day on the view taken
by Senator LeXow that, if the rise
in wages was a fact, 1--WE have been
wrong all the time" He insisted
that it was not true, that affairs were
really in a very bad way, and that
the papers of the party should insist
that they were as bad as they could
be. There was until recently a pain
full conflict in those papers between
the news and the editorial columns;
and, judging from the silence Of the
latter, the news columns must have
got the better of the editorial por-
ton. Senator Lexow's appreciation
of the value of calamity as an issue
was shared by another committee
man, one John Sabine Smith, who
assured a Tribune reporter that
there isn't any room to question
our success next year if we can only
hold to our present chances" Evil

The weather the past few days
has been very delightful, but even
ings have been growing somewhat
cooler, admonishing the people to be-
ware of frost. The observer at
Chicago has wired the local observer
here to look out for light frost to-
night, but tits safe to say that but
little apprehension need be felt for
serious results, as indications are
unmistakable that the frost will be
very light, and but local in its ex-
tent. There is not the opportunity
now to do the serious damage that
it would have occasioned two weeks
earlier. Corn is comparatively safe,
and but little fruit can be injured.
There is, therefore, no occasion for
any serious alarm being felt over the
threatening frost

the farm products of the two coun--
ties, St Lawrence and Colusa, which
are the most remote from the home
market have the largest per cap
tia value of product, while the one,
Colusa, thousands of miles away
from the very focus of the home
market policy, has from five to seven
times as much per capita as the three
counties at the point where consum-
ers in factories converge on produc-
ers in the fields. We do not present
these figures as being conclusive Of
anything, but only to show that the
conclusion based on them is just
as sound as are the differences drawn
by the Pennsylvania papers from
them of the value of the home mar
ket theory.

SOME HOME MARKET FANCTEs

Pennsylvania papers are parading
the return of the census of 80, Show
ing that state to have three of the six
counties in the United States the
value of whose agricultural produce
exceeds that of the other counties of
the nation, and that one of them
leads the six. The following are
the counties in their order of values:
Lancaster, Pa 81 657. 100

Chester, Pa. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. 1868, 800

BUCKS, Ia. OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. D, All ,3W
ColuSa, Cal. Observation-Disclosures. 5,337. $50
Whereupon the Republican papers
proceed to dilate on the beauties of
the "home market" protective tariff
policy that has made these Pennsyl-
vania farms so remunerative. They
emphasize the peculiar blessing it is
to the Keystone state farmers by
showing that the New York and Cal
ifornia counties are three times as
large as the largest of the Pennsyl-
vania counties, while their lands are
worth but about half as much. The
counties afford fair basis for COM
parsons that the Pennsylvania pa
pers omit. The three Pennsylvania
counties lie near Philadelphia, with
it's industries to furnish that home
market. Worcester with its manu-
factories aided by the others of Mas
sachusetts, provides the home mar
ket. st. Lawrence county, on the
other hand, has no considerable fac
tories in it, and the bulk of those of
the state lie to the south of it.
Colusa county lies up in the valley of
the Sacramento, above the city Of
the rivers name, and in a state where
the infant industries have not been
nursed into 1usty life.
That the "home market" hypothesis
is faulty is further shown when we
come to carry the comparison fur
Their and into the respective popula-
tons of these counties. While there
is in all these counties, and especially
in those of Pennsylvania and Massa-
chusetts, an urban population that
has no share in producing these farm
values, still the proportion does not
probably vary so much as to make
a material difference if they are in
Guided in the computations reducing
the gross to the per capita produc-
ton. Dividing, then, the product val
