"Count Inouye suggested the putting
down of political intrigues, of reform
ing the army, and of sending students
abroad to study foreign civilization.
One of his suggestions related to the
royal household and provided that it
should be entirely separated from the
general administration of the govern
ment. He advised that all public busi-
ness should be conducted by the min
listers and no one in the royal house
hold should have the right to inter

by the treasury department, and no
tax should be imposed upon the people
under any pretext beyond the rate
fixed by law.
'"This last said Minister Kurino,
"was a very important suggestion.
Heretofore the king, the queen, the
crown prince and all the departments
of the government have been in the
habit of imposing taxes. They did
this more in accordance with their
necessity than with law or justice,

WASHINGTON, May 30.-There is
no ADLER diplomat in Washington than
his excelIency, Shinichiro Kurino, the
minister from Japan. He came to the
capital at the beginning of the war be-
tween his country and China, and he
has handled Japanese affairs in a
mastery manner. He is a man of
broad culture, is full of ideas, and he
is less backward in expressing his
opinions than many of the others Of
the diplomatic corps. He is man of
social qualities, and his functions at
the legation have been among the
most noted given there. Straight, well
formed and dignified, he has the feat
ures and complexion of a Japanese,

wall, and they will probably be glad to
make the change. The japanese gov
ernment has hitherto endeavored to
promote the colonization of the Island
of Yezo, with some degree of sue
cess; but private enterprise, from lack
of capital, and, perhaps, partly. from
climatic reasons, has not done so well
there. Formosa will prove a more
tempting field for immigration, espe-
cially to the inhabitants of Southern
Japan.

self or people in Corea. The citizens
of European nations and those Of the
United States will have the same
chance to get concessions there as will
the Japanese. The probability is that
the Japanese will not invest much In
Corea, and that they will turn their
attention more to Formosa. What
Japan has done in this respect is TO
make such concessions possible. In
the past the Chinese minister Yuan
took care to prevent such concessions.

Kurino's reply. "From now on it can
have the right to send ministers to
such foreign countries as it pleases,
and it will take its place throughout
the world as an independent nation.
AS to its future, Japan expects Cerea
to work that out for herself. She will

AN ALARMING SOCIAL sYnPTon

A very alarming social symptom. one
that betokens radical change in the
point of view of the American people, one
of apparent insignificance but in reality of
most depressing importance, is the grow
ing custom of clipping" This pour
boircism was once. characteristic of
European class distinctions, and part:cu-
larly of those boundaries of caste made by
the possession or want of money. and 1t
Is only of very late years that it has as
sumed the proportion of a national habit
in this country. But like all evils against
which there is no concerted opposition. it
has spread with great rapidity. decade
ago it was hardly safe thing tor the
snob-the money-jingling nouveau richie
to offer his douceurs unfortunately,
for thoroughbred American waiter or
porter would be apt to fling the coin back
into his face. accompanied with some
terse but plain expletives.
But we have changed all that. The
writer has lived at restaurants for five
years or more in Los Angeles. and in
that period has only found one man who
refused tip, and he was Frenchman.
This phenomenon occurred in Dol's res
taurant in the Downey block-a famous
resort in the old days. Out of gratitude for
an omelette aux fines herbes, the piquan-
cy ana aroma of which will never be for
gotten, there was left on the table COM
Portable contribution for the waiter, and
the diner passed out by the cool, puring
fountain in the court yard, when he heard
The shuff1ing of slippered feet behind him,
and, turning saw the waiter holding the
coin in outstretched hand and with po-
lite protest he refused the money. He
was highly gratified that monsieur had
enjoyed his repsst, but the patrone paid
him his wages, and while he was wait
er, he only wanted what was justly his.
That insufferable snob, the marquis de
Pullman, Is the man who is more than
any other the cause for the spread os
tipping in this country, as he introduced
the detestable method of paying his car
porters such beggarly wages as to force
them to act as highwaymen towards his
patrons. From his imitation of the ne
farious custom Mr.. Pullman has seen it
spread all over the country; and as his
is of the tipped, rather thai the tipping
nature, he has fattened on habit that is
as much menace to stalwart American
ism as anarchism.
There is only one possible remedy and
that is the federation of employers
against the practice. Hotel keepers. rail-
ways, restaurant proprietors, who should
try to attract the public by advertising
that not even a suggestion of tip would
be allowed in their places, would at once
be overrun with patronage, and at the
same time would be doing the nation
most Delefcent, altruistic service; for the
result would be the raising of the stand
ard of self-respect OF large class of hon
est toilers who, by the tipping system,
woulu coon become nothing but time
serving lackeys.

NOT EXCLUSIVE TO CHICAGO

The Chicago Times-Herald has discov-
cred an absolutely new thlng-or at least
thinks it has--in person OF profession
al mourner. The person in question IS
lady who rents her lachrymose glands
at so much per weep, with such acces-
sores as grief-stricken countenance,
som ber raimen: and gestures of despair
to pe used when the occasion demands
and the 'price per" will warrant. Her
remuneration is determined by the de-
gree of intensity required. AS an ordi-
nary mourner. duly overcome by the sad
blow, she receives $40. AS near reld-
tive, overwhelmed and quite crushed, the
fee is SIS. The full repertoire, however.
including faint at the grave or let
s-both be- buried in-one- tomb fit of hys-
terra, brings the cost up to score of
plunks.
The Times Herald speaks of this new
profession as necessary adjunct Of an
advanced state OF civilization. This last
assertion makes the whole matter ir
resstibly funny, for the idea is not at all
new, and is a common practice among the
desert Indians of California and Arizona,
who are probably about as far from an
advanced state OF civilization as is safe to
be. 1t is the custom for these aborigines
to burn their dead, and that as quickly
as possible. A few years ago the OBJ
sequies OF a sub-chief had to be postponed
for SIX hours in order to send runners to
villages a few miles away for the big
crie1s," as they were called. Upon their
arrival the torch was at once applied, and
these antiquated hogs seated themselves
on the wndward side of the pyre and for
an hour emitted succession OF heart
breaking sobs. d torrent of tears mean
while courslng down their wrinkled
cheeks-and between groans they ex-
changed choice bits of neigh borhood gos-
sip and tattle and actually smiled
through their tears at some particularly
choice tid.blt.

sional mourner it has certainly reached a
high state OF ci ,ilization. just the same

THE noNARcH AND ROYAL METAPHORS s

An esteemed contemporary, and one
which usually treats the queen English
with due respect. namely, the San Frat
cisco Examiner, finds fault with the re-
cent speech to parliament of II. Is. NJ.
Victoria, ID. g. The particular sentence
objected to is the one in which announce
ment is made that the war cloud be-
tween China and Japan, which was in
progress at the opening OF the last session,
has been brought to conclusion by a
peace which | trust will endure" This
aforementioned esteemed faultfinder saws
that if Richard Grant White were alive
he would ask how a cloud could be
brought to a conclusion, even by mix
ture of royal metaphor. Nothing could be
simpler; only one needs to be in touch
with royal metaphor to grasp the idea at
once. Our pie bean contemporary does
not approach the subject with due rever-
ence, but jumps at once from the war
cloud to the conclusion, ana that is al
ways a dangerous Jump to make 1t omits
all reference to the war cloud being lin

it can readily conceive as beng possible
and perfectly natural. Now, if a war cloud

that exist must terminate at some time.

In placing an estimate upon war news
from Cuba one has to take into considera-
tion the place from which the dispatches
are dated. If they come from Havana
or are filtered through official sources at
Madrid it is sure thing that they will
tell of insurgent reverses; while on the
other hand the information that comes
from the provinces in revolt tells OF victo-
ries for the patriots. About the most re-
liable fact thus far developed seems to be
that the climate has been more than
usually fatal to the Spanish. troops, and
the fever has put more OF them away than
rebel bullets. With such conflicting state
ments as to the result of warlike move
ments, one can hardly Judge where the
advantage lies; but the justice of the
Cuban cause and the weakness of the
Spanish government would indicate that
the revolutionists would ultima ately
achieve Independence or at least a mod-
fication of the evils against which they
are fighting.

not. The prospect of an increase of 80
