The Borough election which takes
place the first Monday in May promises
to be lively one. 1t will be the same as
usual, license or no license" Both sides
are active and the fur Is expected to fly.
The present Council claim that they have
reduced the taxation and that since they
have handled the reins, the government
has been run cheaper than ever before,
the streets have been kept cleaner and
the town lighted better than in years gone
by. The license people claim that what
is needed to give the town prosperity is
the opening of the hotel which will be
the means of bringing trade to the town.
and that the license fee that is paid to
the Borough Treasurer will be ample to
pay all the running expenses of the
borough. 1t will be the same old fight
over. And the largest poll will reach the
plum.

Two Bootblacks."
State Council Secretary W. A. Meirs
gave statement of the condition and
rapid growth Of the order, also the many
features it possesses. This was followed
by the singing of Columbia" by eight
young ladies, the au dience joining in the
chorus. Rev. Edward Mount then made
very stirring and patriotic five minutes
speech. Singing Nearer My God to
Thee" closed the programme.
The members then adjourned to the

Here is story of an orthodox robin:
Some time ago attended morning service
in Ely cathedral, where during the
prayers, robin kept fitting about the
building, joining occasionally in the serv-
ice with modest "chirrup." When the
clergyman assembled the pulpit and began
to speak, tie robin deliberately perched
himself on one of the pinnacles of the chan
eel screen, quite close to the orator, and the
louder the pastor preached the louder did
the robin sing, much to the amusement of
the congregation. l have no recollection
of what the sermon was about, but the
robins singing made deep impression
upon me.-London Telegraph.

INDUSTRIAL JAPAN.
An interesting sketch of the commerce
ial expansion of Japan is given by a re-
cent writer in "The Contemporary Re-
view" 1t shows clearly that the people
of that island empire are applying to peace
full industries and commerce the same In
telligence, enterprise, energy and adapt-
ability that have already made them so
formidable in war. Vast sums, as the
world knows, have been lavished upon
the army and navy of the Mikado. No
less sum thar 300, 1000, 900 yen, the Chi
nese war indemnity, is now being devot-
ed to such purposes. But such expendi-
lures are small compared with the capt.
tai that at the same time is being invest
ed in manufactures and commerce. Be-
tween January, 1895, and April, 1896, new
new enterprises were started with a cap
ltal of GA ,S96,790 yen, of which a little
more than one-half was invested in rail-
roads. The list of enterprises includes
railroads, banks, insurance companies,
foundTies, paper mills, dockyards, steam
ship lines, cotton, wool, hemp and silk
mills, breweries, mines, bicycle compan-
les and oil refineries. There are now
fifty-three railroad companies in Japan,
with charters for 1882 miles, of which
1862 are in full operation, and most of
them are so profitable that their stocks
are quoted at from 100 to $50 per cent
above par.
Nor do ocean transportation lines lag
behind. The Japan Mail Steamship
company, which has just added 12,OOO,-
600 yen to its capital, now has the largest
fleet in the world. 1t Is running lines
regularly to Europe, the United States,
Australia, China, Corea and Siberia, and
is planning to increase vastly its present
service. The increase in japanese for
eign trade has been steady and enormous.
In 1865 imports and exports together ag-
gregated, in round numbers, 2G,000,000
yen; in 1872, $4,000, 900; in 1873, 5S,OOO,-
600; in ISIS, 1871 100000; in 1894, 230,-
000, 900, and in 1888. 2G4 600, 000-an in
crease of 1000 per cent in twenty seven
years. Imports and exports. as a rule,
have nearly balanced. At this rate Jap
an may not become the commercial lead
er of the world, but she will become
indeed she already is-an important fac
tor in it, which must be seriously taken
into account, and by no nation more
seriously than by the United States.

HAT-TRlMMINes CASE DECIDED.
Government Wins n Suit in Which HeJ

Philadelphia, April 21.-The famous
hat-trimmings case, which indirectly
involved between $40. 100000 and $685.
100000. and which has been postponed
from aime to time for the past three
years, was finally decided in favor of
the government by jury in the United
States circuit court yesterday. The suit
was brought as a test case by Meyer &
Dickinson, big importers Of this city,
who sought to recover from the United
States government a difference OF 80
per cent. in customs duties
The firms contention was that the i'm
portations in question consisted solely
Of hat trimmings. on which the duty
under the Mckinley tariff act was only
20 per cent. but the federal officials in
their argument maintained that the
merchandise was used chiefly for
dresses and dress trimmings. and that
the duty OF so per cent. levied by the
government was proper.
