JAPAN'S SITUATION.

There is wide distinction to be
made between what the govern
ment of Japan really desires and
what the people desire. The gov
eminent officials know something
of Japan's place among the nations,
the mass of the people does not. 1t
is carried away with its success in
the late war with China, and thinks
itself capable of being match for
anything in sight. But though
the government has knowledge of
its own weakness when measured
against the Western powers, it has
to play to the gallery to keep that
unruly portion of the public in good
humor.
Some such explanation must be
given of the remarks lately made by
Count Okuma, the Minister of For
eign Affairs. He explained that
Japan's protest, the text of which
we all know here, was based on
two reasons. The first, was the
central position of this Archipelago,
whose value would be immensely
increased by the opening Of either
the Nicaraguan or Panama Canal.
He considered that to have the is
lands incorporated into the Union
would seriously involve Internal
ional interests in the Pacific ocean"
His second reason was the rights
and privileges being enjoyed by
Japan in Hawaii" He then pro-
ceeded to show the interests of
European powers in the Pacific,
but added that as the European
continental powers had more im-
portant things to look after, they
would stand aloof, A significant
utterance showing that he knew as
well as we do here that not single
. European power will lift finger in
the matter of the annexation of the
islands to the United States. And
then he played TO the gallery. He
said, "The question is, what will
Japan do, II, under any circum-
stances, the annexation is carried
out in spite OF the protest of Japan
Japan must oppose it 10 the utmost
The annexation must not be recog-
nized Japan must op-
pose the annexation to the utmost
and must stand by this decision
resolutely."
These are bold words aud were
no doubt received by the populace
with much enthusiasm. Count
Okuma went into Office with the
promise of strong foreign policy,
and he has to talk in this way.
But it is all sheer bluff, The Unit
ed States, in spite of the Japanese
protest, will annex the islands, and
annex them the more speedily from
the fact of Japan showing so much
eagerness in the matter.
In spite of these bold words Jap
ans ministry is leaning on the idea
that England, Germany and France
will assist her in this matter. 1t is
an entirely fallacious hope, and the
ministers know that without such
assistance they will not make the
slightest impression. The thinker,
of Japan are beginning to under
stand this, and the inspired press
is not nearly so warlike as it was;
indeed, it is pacific in tone. The
opposition press continues rabid,
but then it is so with the purpose
of pulling Count Okuma's leg.

They Charged at Port Hudson.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: The first
assault at Port Hudson was OH May 81, 1863
A flag of truce to bring in the wounded did
not cover the dead and the col0red regi-
ments. They had made their assault on the
extreme right. Port Hudson surrendered
July 8. We marched in and took possession
on the 9th
Immediately after the surrender rode
over to the right where the negroes had made
their charge, aud all of the dead remained
where they had fallen. White troops could
not have been induced to charge where the
negroes had made their desperate assault to
capture the stronghold. They had flank
fire after short distance, as well as the fire
from the front.
The failure to include the colored troops
under the flag of truce negotiations was one
of the most detestable acts of the whole war;
But it resulted in showing by signs that
could not be mistaken what desperate
effort the gallant colored boys made to win.
Seeing the notice in THE NATIONAL TRIB
UNE of the appearance OF the negroes from
Louisiana at the Encampment at Buffalo,
reminded me of my Port Hudson experience
Only miracle could have given them sue
cess. AS this was their first opportunity to
show the white troops their desire to help
US, it seemed as if every black soldier
wanted to lay down his life then and there.
When it is my privilege to march in a
Grand Army procession am only too happy
to march by the side of my black comrade.-

ANOTHER FLAG WANTED.
This Time the Request Comes from Eta
M. Bogart, Teacher In Florida.

Many of our Loyal Home Workers are
school teachers, and not uufrequently they
find themselves in the South, where flags are
not so much part of the daily landscape as
they are farther North All these teachers
are looking to their friends of THE NATIONAL
TRIBUNE to give them encouragement and
helpful suggestions; some of them want flags,
to be used as object lessons in patriotic teach
ing.
The latest request for flag material comes
from Eta M. Bogart, member of the l.. II. w.
in Winsted, Florida teacher in one of the
country schools of that State Her request
for q flag is in the hands Of the proper COM
mittee, and the Editor will doubtless learn
that it has been promptly sent Instructions
in the flag salute have been forwarded and
We can imagine how happy that school will
be with the protecting folds of Old Glory
floating over them.
While on the subject OF flags as an object
lesson in patriotism, a scene which may be
witnessed every day on the Hudson River
during the school term of the New York in
stitution for the deaf and dumb comes up
big flag, so big that the colors may be seen
from long distance up and down the river,
flies from tall flagstaff in front of the build
ing, and there, every morning during the
SCHOOL teTH- 10 the silent InarcneS or tnelr
own hearts-for no band of music or drum
corps is needed to stir their slumbering en-
thusiasm-a squad of little army of deaf
mutes runs up that flag.
Every night the flag is taken down, and in
the sweet silence of the early morning it is
raised again, this being part of the duties
of the three military companies there, en-
bracing all the pupils old enough to drill, to
the number of 125.
Headed by an officer in blue, who is a
teacher, and commanded by a Corporal, the
boy privates, dressed in light-gray, surround
the flagstaff All take off their caps, while
the Corporal runs up the flag and the morning
lesson in patriotism is ended.
The effect of the flag ceremony and the
daily drill has been so satisfactory in bringing
up the esprit du corps of the boys that COM
panies for the girls will also be organized.
Though the ears of the deaf mutes never hear
sound, their drill is az fine as that of the
boys blessed with all their senses, in this case
the eye doing double duty.
If we all knew how to be as accommodate
ing to our unfortunate brothers as the senses
are to one another how much misery might
be banished from the world.

I.H.W. NOTES.
About the Members of the Association and
Their Doings.

All the II. WIS remember our sweet
little friend Edith NJ. ETaines, of ST. Louis,
who has been frequent contributor to our
columns, and whom many of the l.. Ii. W. have
met. And now that she is married they
would the more heartily join in the congratu-
lations were it not that complications have
arisen whereby in gaining a husband she is
likely to lose legacy.
Miss Edith NJ. Haines, says ST. Louis
paper, daughter of G. A. Haines, of 1712
st. Louis avenue, and HI. j. Steinky, of 735
Converse avenue, who were married recently
at Clayton, Mo-, are in quandary There
was no particular objection to the marriage,
yet, in order to satisfy the whim of an
eccentric uncle, who bequeathed the pretty
bride handsome sum, providing she would
never change her name the groom consented
that hereafter they should be known as Mr.
and Mrs. Harry II. Haines. Not wishing to
marry under assumed names, the license was
properly made out and they were duly mar
ried according to law.
Being married as Mr. and Mrs. Steinkv,
it is conceded that they would have no more
right to assume the name of Haines than
they would that of Smith, without the sane
ton of a competent court, a proceeding which
lawyers claim is extremely difficult under
existing circumstances, and yet not affect the
relation of husband and wife. Mr.. Steinky,
it is true, could go before the court in ST.
Clair County, where he has resided for the
statutory period, and change his name to
Haines, but that would not change the name
of Edith M. Steinky, his wife. She might,
however, at the same time 60 forward and
have it changed from Edith NJ. SteiIky to
Edith M. Haines, but then where would
there be q record of marriage between the
separate individuals?
Leading lawyers say that it is very I'M
usual proceeding for q married couple to
change their names jointly. If they wished
to protect the legacy it is..said that the proper
way would have been for the young man to
assume legally the name of Haines, and
then have the ceremony performed. The
names cannot be changed jointly, and the
separate changing, it is claimed, would not
