Invasion by Japan.

The Sun Francisco Journal Of CommeTce says editorially:
 It looks as if the Japanese were go- ing to get strong hold in this country, to make the United States the chief outlet for their products.
 The tea that we used to get from Japan was excellent; but Americans in America wanted more for their money, and American shippers in Japan have lowered the cost. They had to take poor tea, weight it with gypsum or stone-powder, color it with Prussian Blue to "beautify it"-which makes poor tea even worse:
 In this way immense profits have been made at the expense of the American public, and likewise at the expense , of the Japanese producer, whose interest 1t is to have the best tea consumed, because people will like 1t. and so want more. Good tea increase the consumption of tea, while door tea, weighted and colored, tends to decrease the consumption,
 The American shippers stand be- tween the interest of American con- sinners and the Japanese growers. Tpe Japanese government seems to be quite aware of this, and, at the Worlds Fair, spent thousands of dol- lars showing America that we were not (and are noD using real Japan tea at all.
 We shall watch the proceedings with interest; for it will be a good thing for the country to use good tea, and great thing for San Francisco, which, because of climate, harbor, and trade facilities, is the natural tea port for the United States:

ARIZONA FOR M'KINLEY.
From the Phoenix Republican

From the Phoenix Repub1lcan'
 So far as Mckinley and the presidency is concerned the fight IS over in Arizona because the Terri tory has no vote at the general election. But the people of Ari- zona are none the less interested, for the reason that whatever inter ests the country at large concerns Arizona.
 The Republican with the other friends of Mckinley in Arizona has made a consistent fight to secure from the Territory a delegation favorable to Mckinley. The con- test on the Mckinley side has been clean and without money or ma chine influences. On the other side both have been used with the result that notwithstanding Ari- zona is for Mckinley, enough dele gates were influenced to elect con- testing anti-McKinley delegation. That such a delegation will be seated no one believes, but the friends of Mckinley regret of course that they are handicapped by a contest from rendering him the service which they had expected to in the preliminary stages of the convention.
 It is likely now that Mckinley will have nearly 600 uncontested delegates in the beginning and will of course have votes to spare. In that event the committee on ere dentials will seat the Mckinley delegates where they are so clearly entitled to seats as they are in Arl- zona. With all of the contests dis posed of Mckinley ought to have nearly 700 votes on the first ballot.
 But whether Mckinley is the nominee or not, his friends in Ari- zona have cut the bridges behind them. They are not trlmmers ready to go with whoever seems to be the winner. They were for Nc Kinley in the beginning and they are for Mckinley now. They will believe that Mckinley ought to have been nominated even if the bosses and the corrupt use ofmoney succeed in defeating him.
 And at St. Louis the Mckinley men who comprise nIne-tenths of the Republicans of Arizona will be represented by the following origi- nal Mckinley men who will claim seats as the honestly elected dele gates from Arizona:

A lazy man on a bicycle rode I'D the in
cline on Walnut street from 9Th to 9th the

1t is hardly reasonable to suppose a lazy
man on bicycle, and there are easier ac-

was full of expedients. He loafed along
until cable car caught up with him,
reached out and caught one of the sidebar RS
of the car and then took it easy and COM
Portable.
The conductor was puzzled for n mo-
ment and wondered whether he should tell
the man to let go or collect his fare Bush
ness instinct told him to collect the fare
If he could, but he doubted, seeing that
the man was not on the car, whether he
had that right. At length he decided that
the company's good steam was causing
the cable to move and the cables motion
benefited the man, he would make the
effort
The man looked exceedingly comfortable
One hand grasped the bar of the car the
other was Free so he took a cigarette out
of his pocket and lighted it. mopped his
forehead and wheeled straight ahead The
conductor approached him and said: Fare,
please" The man looked trife startled,
but reached into his pocket and brought
forth a nickel, which the conductor smil-
ingly took. AT 9th street the wheelman
dropped the car and soon passed 1t going
south.

In one of its annual reports the London

in twelve months, 345 women were charged
with simple drunkenness, and AT more

drunken case was that of girl of fifteen
years Of age. There nave been as many as
five girls In one day charged with being
drunk who were only seventeen years of
age. In one day forty-seven women have
passed the bar, charged with drunken

Bicycle Distinction,


From the Chicago Record.
There is new bicycle button, but it
isn't every rider who is privileged to wear
one of them. Only the class A men with
records have any right to show these but
tons.
One morning last week Police Magistrate
W. T. Hall, or Judge "Biff' Hall, as he is
more commonly known, inflicted the usual
penalty on some bicyclers who had been
brought in by the police for ''scorching'
lanterns.
One of the riders as soon as he had been
fined smiled and said: Now 1 can wear
button"
The magistrate overheard the remark. He
noticed that as soon as the wheelman had
paid his fine he fastened an enamel but
ton on his coat lapel.
The court asked permission to look at
the button.

Simple Soaking.
We went in and out three other of these
pubs. of the Holloway road district. and
drinking habits of the London poor are
pretty much of a muchness as far as the
fair sex is concerned. 1t is not debauchery,
but simple soaking
The next house was not so busy. In all

peculiar circumstances. l noticed her as

her husband who seemed to be crippled
and in an invalid chair. which she had

and she ordered three penn'orth of warm
rum for him, and while 1t was preparing
she had half a quartern OF gin for herself
and drank it. Having taken the rum to the
invalid she returned the empty glass and
had another half Guartern of gin thus
spending eight pence in less than five min
utes by the clock.
The last house was an exceptionally large
place, employing seven barmaids and three
men. 1 counted i hundred and twenty Gus

Half the cases at Winchester police court
are drunken women. One woman said
that she had been at bar two hours

drink. Another woman said she went into
public house after she had drunk in sew

loafers. She demonstrated with this wo-

they adjourn to the street, and, in turn,
