Pay Him.

the Supreme Court in his suit against
IL. ID. Bancroft for salary as manager.

NEW JAPANESE MINISTER TO
THE UNITED STATES.
Says While His Country is Making
Progress, 1t Cannot be Called
Rival of This Country.

OMAHA CNeb), June 22.--Hoshi Toru,
the newly appointed Minister from
Japan to the United States, passed
through this city to-day on his way
East. In an interview on political and
economic subjects, he said:
Il am no stranger to America, hav-
ing been here before on two occasions.
have never before, however, been over
the Union Pacific, or the overland route,
believe you call it. having on my pre-
vious trips gone by way of the Cana
dian Pacific l am much pleased with
the new route, and if you do not call it
an advertisement l would like to have
you say this: Japan has made wonder
full progress in all lines of manufact-
ured products, but l do not think that
the country can be called a rival of the
United States. Our factories are stir
in their infancy, and it would be many
years before we can really be said to
be competitors of the United States. We
have committees now en- route to this
country to inspect your electric prog
ress. You are not to believe from this
that we are wholly deficient in this re-
gard in our country, but we are always
looking for an Improvement in every
thing that we have.
LAS regards the late war, I do not
believe that the war feeling has entire
" died out; what you would call pa
triotism is still manifest throughout
the country.
"As regards Corea it is true that
both Russia and Japan have a watch
full eye over it, but it is an Independent
country. The relations between Japan
and Russia are most friendly.
America, and by America l mean the
United States. has always had a warm
place in the hearts of the japanese, and
we have for everything pertaining to
the United States a warm and friendly
feeling. There is no danger Of Japan
becoming a formidable foe to your in

uent''
Mr.. Hahn spoke in the same strain
Every man who carries a tin pail, and
we must have them to win, is thinking
OF the tariff as the agency which con-
trolls the condition Of affairs and makes
il possible for him to keep his dinner
pail filled or prevents him from filling
it."
A delegation of 80 citizens of Zanes-
vile and Muskingum County visited
Major Mckinley tonight, and in greet
ing them he said: 1--WE have had some
experience in the last three years and a
half. Experience has superseded proph-
esy, and cold facts have taken the place
OF prediction. We all know more than
we knew three years and a half ago and
we are all ready and anxious to get back
to the period of 1892, when this coun-
try was enjoying its highest prosperity,
with the largest domestic trade it ever
enjoyed, and the largest foreign trade
with the nations of the world. We want
to get back to that policy, my fellow
citizens, which will give to us work and
wages, gives to agriculture home mar
ket, and a good foreign market which
was opened up by reciprocity legislation
OF the Republican party We have come
to appreciate that protective tariff, and
that it is better than idleness, and that
wise tariff legislation IS better than de-
flciencies, and we want that policy
which changes the debts to national
prosperity. And, my countrymen, there
is another thing the people are deter
mined upon, and that is that full days
work must be paid in a full dollar

A visitor this evening was Judge
James A. Waymire of Alameda, Cal.
who was HannaYs representative in
that State in the canvass preliminary to
the convention. He confirmed Colonel
Kowalsky's prediction Of success in that
State. I'VE win give Mckinley 10000
majority, despite the silver craze, the
extent of which is very much eXagger-
ated, and We'll carry Washington and

This is one OF the years when mere NOM

profit by the experience OF other occasions.
and particularly by the warning afforded
by rhs EIlensburg convention. There are
times when past party services may be
allowed to influence delegates and when
men who have been unsuccessful in the
past shall be compensated for their disap-
pointment. Such considerations must be
Eubordlnated this time and the public
given unqualified assurance that those
nominated not only can but win make an
economical administration OF county az

In fact. the only platform necessary to
be adopted by the county convention is
comprised in the demand for economy and
efficiency. That Is the only issue In county

late series OF resolutions to which state

THE LONDON FINANCIAL NEWS

THE LONDON FINANCIAL NEWS.
There are being circulated extracts from
a paper called the london Financial News,
purporting 10 express British sentiment
on the subject OF free coinage by this
country. There Is not an argument IN It:
Il IS one Of those vivid descriptions OF

with which Bryan has familiarIzed Us.
Nobody would be convinced BY 1t. and It's
only strength Is derived from the fact
that the paper is published IN LONDON.

to follow free coinage.
