Buddhism in Japan.

When the religions of the world are
carefully considered it is seen that Only
three have spread to different races and
nations; only three seek the conquest Of
the world--Buddhism, Islam and Chris
tianity. The rest are confined to single
national5ties, and are either quietly hold
their own or else are fading away.
And the almost Incredible news comes
that Buddhism, the one of the three
world religions that Is full of supersi-
ton and very fantastic, is rapidly gain
ing ground in wide-awake, intelligent ia
pan. This is all the more strange be-
cause in India Brahminism Is slowly
crowding out Buddhism, and because the
latter has never BEEN able to dislodge
Confucianism in China. 1t Is very diff
flcult to account for the progress Of
Buddhism in Japan; 1t II known, how
ever, that there are forty per cent mora

Packing Cotton For Export.

In past years there have been grave
complaints as TO baling and packing of
cotton in this country: and the near ap-
proach of an5ther cotton season brings
more complaints. The trouble In one
respect is presented by Consul Mona
CHAN, OF Dresden, Saxony. He says that
a bale of cotton packed in Egypt looks
when 1t arrives at a mill in Saxony as
if Il were as safe frcm catching fire from
a spark as a log of hard wood. while the
bale packed in this country has "a loose,
dirty and infiammable appearance" In
the present cotton ysar, 1867, it is
known that Il, 659,50 pounds of Arneri-
can cotton have been destroyed by fire.
and it is believed the damage by FIRE.
smoke and water has b=en much greater
than the captains CT vessels have report
ed. Very few fires have occurred in In
dian or Egyptian cotton.
The chief objection to American pack
ing is the wart of density. The Egyp-
tian or Asiatic packer applies a pressure
of forty pounds to the cubic foot; the
American packer, about twenty-one
pounds a foot. The ference is impor-
tant in the respect of fire, and in the mat
ter of ships space. A ship can carry
I'm a given space almost twice as many
pounds of Egyptian cotton. And it is
a mistake to think that severe pressure
Injuries this staple. Such an impression
has nothing substantial to rest upon; for
the Egyptian fibre comes out of bale
as good as it went in. So the experts
advise that Dundee bagging be used, and
that every bale BE-, squeezed to it's mini
mum size, thus saving extra insurance
premiums, and extra freight charges ON
the water. Some of them estimate the
losses that accrus through defective
packing in this country at $3.50 a bale,
or about twenty-five millions year.
Carelessness at such rates comes high,
and we should heed the complaints of
our best customers.

Buddhistic believers In Japan than there
were five years ago.
The religion they hav eadopted is al
most atheistic. 1t breaches the salvation
of man through the power OF his own self
remuneration. No doubt it teaches char
ity and sympathy. 1t is also very demo-
cratic. There are no priests, no middle
men; fer every devout Buddhist is his
own priest. There are some who devote
their lives to it, but such devotees have
no higher rank than that of any other de-
vout member. In Tibet an elaborate &C.
elesiastical system seems to have bsen
developed. Elsewhere its system Is DEM
ocratic, and everywhere self-eonquest
and universal charity are its founda-
tions.
We have no school of religious thought
In this country that resembles Buddhism
unless it be found in the speculation of
the theosophists. These speculations are
so various, 1t is not strange that they
at times approach the doctrines of the
multiplied Buddhas of shifting relig-
ion.
The wonder rsmains. why does practi-
cal, alert Japan look favorably upon such
a religion? Even If the sublime exam
pie of the 1owly Nazarene has not been
brought home to the masses of the island
kingdom, yet it is passing strange that
they seem inclined to accept a system
that does not commend itself to other
oriental nations.

mother country and ths Americans have
come off victors.
It is a bad sign when the representa-
tives Of British public opinion encourage
the idea of going to war with this repub-
lie. Evidently there is something wrong
over the water. When a nation Is diaeon-
tented and fearful that it is losing
ground it always snaps and snarls and
shows it's teeth. It can only forget its
home troubles by engaging In a fight
with an outsider
John Bull should beware. He Is not in
the best fighting trim. It is all that he
can do at present to hild his own. and II
he plunges- headlong into a war with this
country the chances are that he will get
the worst licking in his history.

Indian Corn Abroad.

The task of clot1ling-ir cotton goods
cast by nature upon this country. 1t is
a big undertaking, and we are standing
up to 1t, IL we do say it, in great shape.
Our meat products, Canned and uncanned.
and our wheat are carried to every part
of the world.
But there are others. There is corn,
food product of long and approved stand
ing in this country. but not so in En-
ropa,->We have. however, added to the
worlds menu. and we are rapidly teach
ing the people of Europe at least that It
is good to eat; that it will sustain life
as we'll as wheat. From the crop of 1896
we exported 17S,OO0.ooO bushels, as COM
pared with 145 900 bushels of wheat.
Expectations of corn meal are included in
the former figures, as those of flour are
in the latter. A good many people, it
is plain, are becoming accustomed to the
use of Indian corn in the preparation of
food.
Its use across the water will doubtless
be promoted by the increased disparity
of this season in the prices of wheat and
corn. AS rule the price of corn is about
ole-half of that CT wheat, but this sea-
son corn will doubtless sell at about one
third OF its aristocratic rivals price. This
must lead to unprecedented exports of
corn. We have, however, an immense
supply to draw upon, even if the crop
falls below the magnificent total of two
thousand millions of bushels, an aggre-
gate that was reached in 1890, 1892 and
1896 We have enough, and to spare, and
the people of the effete monarchies will
not starve if they will accept the health
full and economical food that the Indians
bequeathed to us.

Farm Lands North and South.

In one of the most desirable and fer
tile sections of the eastern shore in Mary
land, 2,1OO acres wer- recently sold at
$4,000 sum far below the price at
which the land was held a few years
ago. In Baltimore county in the same
state a beautiful estate of 1900 acres.
with fine mansion, sold for only 10000,
about SIT an acr+.
Sales at such slashing reductions are
not confined to Maryland. Every north
ern state east of the Mississippi river
can show similar depreciations-th
most fertile land sharing in the shrinlS-
age.
The period of depreciation antidates the
panic of 1893. 1t began in the eastern
states when the superiority of the west
for this production of grain and there
fore of meats became established: it be-
gan in the west, when overproduction
IN this country and in other wheat-grow-
ing countries as well became O recog-
nized fact. The downward course was
accelerated by the depression in bust
ness and manufacturing of the last seven
years. 1t is within truth to say that
wherever farms had a value of 500 an
acre values have gradually BEEN reduced
one-half; and there is very little pros
pect that old values can be re-estab-
lished. The fertility of western lands
and the low rates of transportation seem
to forbid 4 return in the east to old fig
mes.
The south has not suffered proportions
ately. Productive land is worth today
as much as 1t was ten or twenty years
ago. 1t was not held at high figures
then, and Is not now. The great staple
of the south is not largely grown else
where, and development at home has
proceeded on moderate lines. Immigra-
ton has not unsettled supply; emigra-
tion could not lessen demand. Our farm
ers and landowners may not consider
their lot an enviable one, but IL they
are free from debt, they are surely bet
tsr of than the holders of land that has
been heavily reduced In value without

Ex-senator DooIfttIe's dob.

From the Syracuse Standard.
The old senator was a great story tell
err and related many Interesting and hui
morous accounts of what he had saen in
public life. O. of his favorite stories
was at the expense of Senator FeSsen-
den, warm personal friend. The late
Judge and Senator Fessenden had been
appointed on a commission with several
others to treat with the various chiefs
of the Sioux nation on an important In
dian question of the day. 1t was long
before railways had been introduced in
the far west and the members of the
commission had to travel on horseback.
Judge Doolittle was chairman of the
commission, but at the conference shift
ed the duty to the shoulders of Senator
Fessenden, who was highly pleased at
the honor conferred on him. The judge,
however, had heard of the peculiar re-
spokesman of any party Of visiting
whites.
AT the appointed time the two parties
to the conference congregated. Thsre
were probably 200 Indian chiefs present
with their wives. Senator Fessenden adj
vanced to do the honors for the commits
sioners, when, to his dlslnay, the whole
vanced- and, after embracing the chair
man, gave him, according to their Gus
tom, a welcoming kiss. Judge Doo1ittle
often said he thought that Fessenden
never quite forgave him for the trick.

John Bull Grows Reckless.

The London Spectator is sober and
influential periodical, but 1t makes bad
break when 1t seriously discusses the
probability of war between England
and the Unit.d States. The Spectator
represents British public sentiment, and
its utterances are calculated to do harm,
The trouble seems to be an apprehension
on the part of England that this coun-
try is about to annex more territory.
The British are always seizing tempting
bits of land all over the globe, but they
do not want anybody else to engage in
the same business.
1t Is time for John Bull to understand
that Uncle Sam has ben an annexer
from way back. From the day when the
first white man landed on these shores
they have been expanding their borders.
There we're added Louisiana, Florida,
California, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona
ard Alaska to the territory, and when
the time is ripe for 1t the American peo-
pie may fly their flag over Hawaii, Cuba
and Canada. The American people are

Cotton This Fall.

Suppose cotton sells for eight cents this
fall? Many predict that Il. will rule at
that figure. Ifthe staple commands eight
cenas, that money will do the farmer az
much good as twelve cents a few years
ago.
Moess of the southern farmers are COM
paratively free from debt. AID they have
learned how to live economically. They
made this years crop of cotton at less
eight cents they will make big money.
At present Indications point TO fine
price for The crop, and the prospects for
a merry Christmas in the south are
brighter than they have been for years.
