AN EXAMPLE WORTH NOTING

There is food for a vast amount
of serious study for the Anglo,
Saxon residents of this country in
the quiet, but aggressive, work Of
the japanese Commercial Union.
of which a description of the
methods and objects to be attained
is given in another column. In
this, as in nearly every movement
to which the japanese put their
hands, we find unity of purpose
and loyalty to the mother country
which is characteristic of the nation
and forebodes success. This means
com petition, sharp competition,
that will not decrease in strength
as the years go by. The question
at once arises, what is being
done to meet this competition? 1t
is a straight business proposition
which must be met sooner or later.
From present appearances it would
seem that many of our residents are
calmly viewing the situation and
with eyes fairly well opened are
trusting to previous good fortune for
the future. One of the arguments
now being used by many Ameri-
cans in California against the |
white residents in this country, is,
that we are not making an effort
to return the benefits which are
derived by reciprocal relations
with the United States, that we
are going to markets outside
the United States and also
allowing Japan to gain the as
tendency. These accusations are
in a MEASURE exaggerated, and
tables show that our
imports from San Francisco are on
the increase. But at the same time
if we showed the same patriotic
loyalty to the country
hat has been our benefactor as
our japanese brethren, there
could be no cause for complaint
from that source. It is problem
hat is growing in importance and
It is better to meet it face to face be-
lore it becomes too bulky to han
lie. The Japanese by their united
action are setting a good example.

VENEZUELAN DEVELOPMENTS.

So far as newspaper dispatches
are concerned, the Venezuelan af-
fair has paled almost to insignifi-
canoe. This is due partly to the
more serious complications that
have arisen among the European
powers, but principally to the fact
that the season for pyrotechnic dis
play has passed, and the problem
now awaits the verdict of the COM
mission appointed by President
Cleveland. The opening session of
this body gives every indication
that the investigation will be car
ried on with all possible dispatch.
For men of intellectual finish and
personal integrity, the makeup of
the commission could not be i'm
proved. It must be admitted,
however, that it has a failing not
unknown in similar combina-
tions in the United States.
It lacks trained diplomats. Presi-
dent White, and possibly Mr..
Coudert, are the only members who
have been in a position to become
acquainted with the practical side
of diplomatic affairs. Justice
Brewer, President Gilman and
Judge Alvey are men of unques-
tionable ability, but they are not
the men trained to the service "
as would probably be a characters
tic feature if similar body were
formed by the British government. 1t
is safe to say however that these men
will proceed carefully and will not be
influenced to any considerable ex-
tent by the enthusiasts of either of
the great political parties. They
will make haste slowly and al
though they may be outwitted by
the more tactical Britons with |
whom they must have more or less
dealing, they will not force the
United States into any more dis
agreeable complications than exist
at the present time.
One of the interesting develop
ments In this affair is the change
of feeling that has taken place in
Great Britain. When President
Cleveland's message was first made
public, there was hardly a news
paper or public man in Eng
land that took the matter ser
iously. 1t was generally re-
garded as a political move on
the part of the President in which
the American people took compare
lively little interest. The true
the unanimous support
which the President received, the
wiplng out of party lines, all came
as a surprise. The one man who
has done more to place the British
mind right on the subject is Henry
Normann, the American repre-
of the London Chronicle.
Mr.. Normann guaged the situation
and has been assiduously at work
in giving his fellow countrymen
correct review of the American
sentiment. He has been a warm
advocate of arbitration and has
undoubtedly done not little in
the troubled spirits of
10Th nations. Through his efforts

STEADY GRIND--'I have
learned from observation
says Chauncey DepeW, "that
three things surely happen
! to a man who works with
out relaxation. In the first
place he becomes nervous,
irritable and hard to get
along with. In the second
place the grade of his work
falls off, and he is liable to
err in his judgment. In the
third place he dies sud-
denly" These remarks of
the famous after dinner
speaker we consider not
only decided applicable. in
the sense in which they. are
intended, but in the way of
a great many of the manu-
facturers that are constantly
placing inferior goods on the
market and claiming them as
to the product Of
older and better known
houses. This is especially
true of cutlery. There are
houses who place this class
of goods on the market that
are made up for show and
sale only, but whose wear
is warranted only until they
have been once secured.
This is not the case with theI
goods of well known and
established houses whose.
reputation depends upon the
wear of goods.
They pride themselves on
what they make being made
Of the best material that
and experience can
turn out. The John Russell
Cutlery Company have a
reputation that is envied by
many and equalled by few.
