THE COTTON MILLS OF JAPAN.

According to Japanese native
paper, the number of spindles in
the cotton mills of Japan, now
exceeds 1000, 900. In consequence
the supply of yarns is exceeding
the demand, and some of the
spinners are of opinion that it is
a risky attempt to start new mills
at present, az there will be caused
many difficulties in the way of OBJ
tanning raw cotton and maintain
ing the equilibrium Of supply and
demand. According to the re
turns prepared by the Cotton
Spinners' Union, Osaka, the num-
Der of spinning concerns in the
union and of their spindles are as
follows.
No. of concerns actively worked
5S' number Of spindles, 632, ,130
Number of concerns not yet open
ed or being established, 6; num-
Der of spindles, 352, ,427.
Besides these are several con-
Germs outside the union. Among
them the Kyoto Spinning Com
pany has 10000 spiudIes, of which
1900 are actively working; the
IIeian 10000 spindles, the Fushi-
mi 10000 spindles, the Bizen 5,

CHAs. DICKENS ON CHRISTMAS.

Christmas timel That man
must be misanthrope indeed in
whose breast something like a jo-
vial feeling is not reused, in whose
mind some pleasant associations
are not awakened, by the recur-
renee of Christmas. There are
people who will tell you that
Christmas to them is not what it
use to be; that each succeeding
Christmas has found some cherish
ed hope or happy prospect of the
year before dimmed or passed
away; that the present only serves
to remind them of reduced circum-
stances and straitened incomes,
of the feasts they :once bestowed
on hollow friends, and of the cold
looks that meet them now in adj
versity and misfortune. Never
heed such dismal "reminiscences
Look on the merry faces of
your children, if you have
any, as they sit around the
fire. One little seat may be emp
ty. One slight form that glad
dened the fathers heart and rous-
ed the mothers pride to look up
on may not be there. Dwell not
upon the past. Think not that
one short year ago the fair child
now resolving into dust sat before
you with the bloom of health up
on its cheek and the gayety of in
fancy in its joyous eyes. Reflect
upon your present blessings, of
which every man has many-not
on your past misfortunes. of which
all men have some. Fill your
glass again, with a merry face and
contented heart. Our life on It,
but your Christmas shall be mer-
lry and your new year happy one.

suit. The wonder is that no active
prosecution has been instituted
against the defrauders.
No less necessary is the presence
of good, strong, redoubtable vessels
defending the government on sea
than IS the presence Of brave and
fearless men re ndering the same duty
on land. They both serve their
country. The tide of war is as apt
10 turn on the security of battle
ship as 1t is upon the soundness and
discipline OF an army, and no less in
ferior should be one than the other.

The necessity for providing against
indiscriminate immigration has long
been topic which has engaged the
attention Of the country, and right
fully too, for no other public ques-
tion so much concerns the welfare
Of the nation. An illiterate foreigner
in our midst is as match in an ar

Bile injury.
A republic can only be safe as
long as its promoters and followers
are patriotic and intelligent and these
qualities are wofully lacking in the
illiterates which have been flowing
into the United States these many
years. These people are imbued
with a strange idea Of government.
Coming from countries where they
are watched IS go much cattle they
feel that even our government must
too be their enemy and straiahtway
proceed to contribute whatever mite
they can towards laying 1T in ashes.
To appreciate the extent Of the dan
gerous power they WELD we but have
to look at the last presidential elec-
tion and there see the results of such
great states as Illinois, Michigan,
Wisconsin, California aud several
others actually determined by their
ballots!

workingmen. This is an interfer-
ence too heavily ladened with de-
structive consequences to pass over
lightly. Upon the wages Of labor
depend the prosperity Of the nation,
and when prosperity Is removed, as
low wages are bound to do, the
foundation Of the government be-
comes threatened, and unrest, panics
and various other things sway the
very earth.
An immigration law has long been
a necessity and we rejoice to tell our
readers that we are on the verge Of
having It.

BEAUTIFUL ANSWERS.

A Persian pupil of the Able
Sicord gave these beautiful ans
wcrs to the following questions:
What is gratitude? Gratitude
is the memory of the heart.
What is hopeB Hope is the
blossom OF happiness.
What is the difference between
Hope and Desire? Desire is a tree
in life; Hope is tree in flower;
and enjoyment is tree in fruit.
What is Eternity? A day with
out yesterday or tomorrow, life
that has no end.
What is Time? A line that has
two ends; path which begins in
the cradle and ends in the tomb.
What is God2 The Necessary
being, the Father of Eternity,

of Justice, the Soul of the World.

THE SEA COAST ECHO.
CHRrSTMAS.

In less than week the feast of the
Christ birth will have come again to
be celebrated in that style most fit
ing. As the name would indicate,
the day is that of Christ's and in re-
cognition of its presence devotional
exercises and JOY with reverence
should be the spirit of celebration.
The story Of the birth OF the Sa-
viour is too true, too beautiful 10 be
desecrated in that manner In which it
is commonly observed, and he
who would not celebrate it 10 its
proper light is unworthy Of the re
deInption which the day made posi-
BILE,
The greeting Of a "Merry Christ
mas" is well-wishing sentiment,
for in the observing Of Christmas in
that true spirit Of devotion and re-
verence, one cans't not be naught
but happy. and to be happy is to be
merry. Than merry Christmas at
the Christ tide better cannot and must
not be looked for, and We should all
observe Christmas in the proper spir-
it, ever mindful Of others, the poor
and needy, our aeighbors and our
selves. To give is charity; charity
Is pearl fiom heaven.
The Echo, always with the people,
extends best wishes for thrice
Merry Christmas, followed by
Happy New Year.

ELECTRICITY ON TRUNK LINES.

At a recent meeting of g 9 ,tricl
engineers and experts, held in New
York, the subject of electricity as
a locomotive agent was fully dis
cussed, and the conclusion was
reached that while electric pow
er might take the place of steam
on suburban lines Of transporta-
tion it could not be economically
or satisfactorily employed on long
distance railways. The debate
developed the fact that large
outlay Of money would be requir-
cd to equip a railroad with cleo
trio motive power and no profit
could be hoped from the venture.
So far as the matter of speed iS
concerned it was agreed that no
electric motor could be construt-
ed that would surpass locomotives
now operated on the great trunk
lines.

Mr.. X. ID. Featherstone, of Bos-

Washington Post, "that when the
new administration comes in, a
very close scrutiny will be order
ed into the accounts of presiden-
tial postmasters. | have heard
from a very good source that those
postaiasters who are financially
behind with the government will
in all probability not be allowed
to serve out their term of office.
If this rule is carried out, the
number of changes likely to oc-
cur will astonish everybody. 1t
has been the habit of many of the
postmasters to anticipate their sa-
laries, without any criminal intent
by drawing from the current funds
taken in at their offices. The
practice is a loose one, hut it has
been tolerated to an extent much
greater than is generally believed.

Investigation Of some of our bat
