JAPANESE REVERE RULERS.
Object to Having Stamps Bearing Like
 nesses of Departed Ones Cancelled.

Object to Having Stamps Bearing Like-
 nesses of Departed Ones Cancelled.
 Private letters from kioto bear proof that the Japanese have their own way of doing things. They recently had a new issue of postage stamps which bore portraits of two of the princes who died in the recent war. Stamps of two and Of five sen were to be issued. In the United States one portrait would have been on the two-sen stamp and one on the five-sen stamp, but in Japan it was thought that this would be discrim- mating against the memory of the one pictured on the lower denomination.
 This is why philatelists find that there are two new two-sen and two new tiNe-sen stamps V each denomination having one kind in memory of each prince. But even this careful arrange ment did not prevent d new trouble. Some conservative Japanese are con- tending that it borders on disrespect to the imperial family to pollute their pictures with saliva and then to bloteh them with ink in the process of cancella- ton.
 O1S lidu Illus uSSldTeN III tile pdpefS that he shall decline to receive any mali matter bearing these stamps Some postmasters have requested that they be allowed to put the eanceling mark only on the edge of the stamp, so as to avoid defiling the princely faces. To old-fashioned Japanese it is especially displeasing to see foreigners putting portraits representing men of divine descent into their mouths and putting them on the envelopes with as much indifference as we employ with the faces of Washington, Franklin and Grant on our stamps. Some Japanese, if they use the stamps at all, must reyerently lift them to their head, care fully wet the glue with pure water and then utter prayer as they attach them to the envelope.
 Did it ever eceur to an American that it was discrimination to place a DOT trait on d lower denomination stamp? If this matter ever was discussed it was probably agreed that the greater hon. or went with the cheaper stamps, which are in wider and more general use As for attaching any respect to them-do you know, without looking. whose pie lures are on our various stamps ?-Bos- ton Journal

the mountains, the transporter of freight or passengers with his own ye- hicles, could pass over the road by the payment of a certain fee. That is pre- cisely the system propose for freight and passenger traffic on the railroads after the lines are acquired by the gov ernment.
 'The tolls continued the senator. should be fixed at so low rate as to produce just enough revenue for the ex- penses of direction and the keeping of the roadbed, tracks, stations, and other property pertaining to the roads, in a perfect state of repair and efficiency. Of course, there should be a sufficient surplus over operating expenses to maintain a fund for new bridges or stations on roads already built, and some provision might also be made for the construction of new lines.
 "The railroad system of the entire country should be cut up into zones and divisions. The best qualified men should be employed by the government as managers and uperintendents, at fixed salaries, and their tenure should be dur ing good behavior. Promotion should be made in the order of merit and achievement only, and there should be special rewards in the way of promo tions for those who have succeeded in avoiding accidents. The force required to keep the roads in order, to collect the tolls, and to dispatch the trains. would be comparatively small, as the greatest demand for men is, in the train service. for engineers, firemen, brakemen. con ductors, etc, and these men would not be in the government service at all.
 "The train service, under this system whether for passengers or freight. would be entirely in the hands of the people. Thus a frst-class engineer. a conductor and brakeman would he q liberty to run train of their own over any line in the country, under the con- ditions laid down by the government. All they would have to do would be to arrange for running time with the proper authorities, and pay the tolls fixed by law.
 ''The project opens up boundless nos abilities that are absolutely bewilder- ing to man with grain of imaginn- tion. or capacity for seeing beyond the horizon of established custom. As no request to run a train for lawful nur- poses could be denied, the farmers of a given locality, who are now shut out of

 Every four years," said Mir. Depew to the writer, "the course of business in this country is virtually paralyzed for fully six months, partly on account of the utter absorption of the people in the canvass and partly because such issues are raised in every campaign that busi- ness conditions are bound to be affected by the result. We have hardly reeov- cred from the effect of one presidential campaign before we are plunged into the midst of another; hence I would welcome siX-year term and constitu- tional prohibition of reelection. Then we should have a president free during his term of office from any temptation to use his power in any way to secure a renomination or reelection; and free also from even the suspicion of such an attempt, which is almost as bad. But" he said, in conclusion, "I fail to see any prospect that the people will adopt my views"

 Mr. John Cliflin, whose name is known in the business world from ocean to ocean, wants change, but his views are not entirely in accord with Mir. Depew's.
 q should not favor longer term" |" says Mir Clafin. "if it's duration were fixed. hard and fast, as at present; but there might be advantages in adopting the European methods of responsible government if this could in any way be brought about. Yet it is hard to see how such change could be made advan- tageously without leaving more to the discretion of the administration. In Great Britain, by immemorial usage, stronger even than statute, a ministry which is no longer in line with the opinions of the majority is bound to re- sign; yet the government can, at its op- ton, continue to hold office in spite of an adverse vote upon question which is not deemed of prime importance.
 "It would be an ideal arrangement if we coud feel assured, as they do in Eng land, that the administration would re- sign office whenever the sentiment of the country demanded it. The result might not be to decrease the frequency of elections, but the government would be more elastic. Certainly the educa- tional value of a campaign, under any

THE PROPOSED spu.t

AS chronicled in The Herald a day
or two ago a party of railroad officials
went UP the canyon with a number
of representatives of the power plant
interests. Although the gentlemen car
ried The impreSSion-or tried to-rhat
they were out simply on a social trip
of pleasure, still a good many people
have all along believed that matters
of business called them thtther. 1t
will be remembered that in the party
were w. H. Bancroft general super
inItendent; e. Dickinson, general man
ager: Mr.. Pegram, chief engineer; J. Q.
Melveny, division engineer and j. H.
Corty superintendent of telegraph all
of the Union Pacific. The Herald has
it from pretty good authority that they
talked of something besides mountain
scenery. In fact it is stated that the
visit was made by the officials for the
purpose of posting themselves as to
the advisability of running a spur from
the Union Pacific track up to where the
power house of the Pioneer Electric
company will be located. Furthermore,
The Herald has been given to under
stand that at a quiet meeting held
few days ago i'm the First National
Bank building, at which Mr.. Bancroft
and several of the other gentlemen
were present, this proposed construc-
ton was discussed ana the VISIT up
the canyon determined upon.
That such a spur is necessary can pc
readily seen. The construction of the
power house will call for great guam
titles of building material and its COM
pletfon will call for great pieces Of
machinery, many tons in weight: Tons
and tons of cement, piping and other
material will soon be needed and
spur from the railroad seems almost
indispensable.
As the gentlemen seemed to be sur
prised at the magnitude of the power
project, and impressed with its per-
feet feasibility, it is but reasonable TO
suppose that they saw the Uaaty II
not the absolute necessity OF construct
ing the track. The Herald ventures
prediction that such a spur will be
built and that it will not be long ere

NEW YORK, March 2S.-The local
stock market today moved more in
dependently of English influence than
for some time past, the round up short
contracts by the bears being the prin-
cipal motive .or the dealings.
The stock market for the week has
been of a professional day-to-day-
character with prices gravitating to a
lower level.
A noteworthy fact, however, is the
indisposition of owners of the lead
ing shares to part with them. The
speculation has been shaped chiefly
by two factors of special Importance,
neither of which, however, are en-
tirely new. The rapidly succeeding
political complications in Europe and
the interests in the Cuban delibera-
lions at Washington have caused a
steady dribble of foreign held Ameri-
can securities on this market.
Unconfirmed rumors at the close OF
business were that two leading ex-
change houses were figuring. upon ship
ments of gold by the early. steamer
this week aggregating S2,500,OOO.
The general speculation lacked i'm
pOrtant FEATURES. Inc lnQuStTidlS
chiefly occupied professional dealers.
The developments affecting the rail-
road list were of routine character.
Railroad earnings were in the main
satisfactory. The most important net
change for the week is a net gain of
AS per cent in Tobacco. The aggre-
gate sales were S0S,316 shares.
Today's bond market was dull and
firm, but otherwise featureless. The
sales were $497 900. On the week the
market was irregular, with an easy
tendency. The net concessions in the
speculative issues were light, but there
were some material declines in some
of the inactive mortgages.
