here, and in the States, that Japan
is over-crowded with population
On the contrary, it is stated by
nearly all of the well informed
writers who describe the resources
of the Empire, that only one
twelfth of the area Of land is under
cultivation. The people have
gradually gathered along the
shores, where fish are plenty and
have settled on the spots where the
soil is rich and easily irrigated.
But on the eleven-twelfths of the
remaining unsettled portions of the
land, an enormous population can
readily be sustained.
1t is true that the Government
has failed to colonize large tracts of
land in the northern part of the
Empire, owing to the indisposition
of the people to live in the colder
regions, and their inaptitude for
pioneer life. But the land is there,
is fertile and will support many
millions of people. The Govern
ment of the Empire, so long as it is
in the hands of intelligent men,,
who compare favorably with Eu-
ropean statesmen in education and
foresight, prefers to make the En-
pire compact and prosperous, in
stead of securing distant colonies
that involve great expense fol
government and protection. A
settlement of ten millions of the
japanese on their own unoccupied
land, it is evident to a school boy,
is of more value to the military and
naval power of the Empire than an
experimental colonial system. The
opening up of its own territory is
one of the important measures OF
the Government.

JAPANESE LABOR.

The Kobe Chronicle discusses
the labor conditions of Japan. 1t
says strikes are on the increase. 1t
declares that with the ever growing
number of industrial enterprises,
the demand for skilled labor is
greater than the supply. 1t says
that it is generally reported that
there is not even enough unskilled
labor to meet the demand and this
is due, it is believed to the emf gra-
ton to Hawaii and elsewhere. 1t
has been stated in several journals
that the price of labor has advanced
fifty per cent. within two years and
the price of commodities has risen
fifty to sixty per cent. Sir Nicholas
Hanneu in his valuable CONNER
cial summary says that 'even In
tShanghaI the women operating IN
the failures are now receiving
higher wages than the same class of
operatives in Italy"
If these statements are true, there
will be, before many years, a
change in the labor conditions.
But so long as the unskilled labor
er, who earns at present only seven
or ten silver yen per month in
Japan, is able to earn twenty-five
silver yen (s12.50 gold), per month
in Hawaii, there will be no cessa-
ton of emigration.
Owing to the Ignorance of many
of those who write about Japan's
affairs, it is prevailing opinion

TANTALUS LOTS.

The Government is resolved be-
fore it gives up the official ghost,
On annexation day, to create moral
oasis in this Paradisical desert
One of the conditions of hold
ing a good title to any lot in the
newly opened Tantalus district is
that ''no sale of spirituous liquors
shall be made or allowed on the
premises of the owner" At that
celestial height, nearer to the sun
and the solemn courses of the stars,
no resident may engage In the mer-
cenary art of selling. He may,
however, consume. He may IT.
rigate, with alcoholic streams, the
arid Threats of himself and friends,
but the transaction at that altitude
must involve no mercenary ele-
ment. Naturally, the first litera-
ture from the select Tantalus settle
ment will be titled: every man
his own barkeeper."
This condition of the sale of
land is just one. Imperfect men
require imperfect laws. a one
sided law is a good one, if it is on
our side. Those noted hotel keep
ers of America, the Smileys, not
only forbid the sale of liquor on
their premises, but also forbid It's
public use by their guests. And
they established two of the most
profitable hotels in the United
States. Aside from the principles
involved, the situation on Tantalus
is dangerous one for the promis-
cuous sale of liquor. The mountain
sides are dangerously steep and fur
nish uncommon facilities for the
instantaneous and fatal descent Of
persons, whose gait becomes irregu-
lar i'm a rarefed air. A free sale
Of liquor there means the perman-
ent establishment of a coroner's
jury at the bottom of the mountain.
Another of the conditions of pur-
chase is the compulsory residence
for thirty days in each year, for
three years of the purchase. This
condition will not please those who
do not desire at present to build,
but it will check speculation and
prevent people who have money,
from selfshly taking all of the best
building lots out of the market.
The provision that the Minister
of the Interior may seize the land
from the purchaser without legal
process, if he believes that any con-
dition has been violated, is harsh
and open to abuse. But the Courts
would many event protect the pur-
chaser against arbitrary and I'M
Just acts.

HENRY GEORGE.

Henry George, one of the candidates
for Mayor of Greater New York, died
suddenly on October 29th and at once
his son Henry George was substituted
in his place as candidate for the Office.
No man since the time of the great
men who discussed the adoption of the
American Constitution, has enforced
his radical and in many respects, able
and just views on the social and econo-
mic life of the American people as he
has, and before greater and more at
tentive audiences. Many able thinkers
have partially agreed with him. Many
have bitterly opposed his views. All
have conceded that there are social
causes that needed the use of the knife,
but they have not been able to locate
the trouble His principal work, PRO
gress and Poverty" has commanded
deep study by able men on both sides
of the Atlantic. His clear and forcible
style made his meaning plain as a
rule, and no book of the century has
been handled by a greater number of
the workingmen than his. Dealing as
it does with abstract subjects in great
measure, it has been dangerous book
in the hands of those not educated to
reason on the matters it contained, and
it has stimulated the unrest which is
so significant of the present life of dis
satisfied men in America and Europe.
A singular incident connected with
his death was the prompt and hearty
sympathy expressed by his rival candi-
dates for office. They appreciated the
honesty and strength of the man.
Almost his last words were: Il am for
men, the equal right of all men. Let
us be done with asking privileges for
the laboring man." No man was hated
more than he, by the rich men who
feared the tendency of his teachings,
and would not concede to him honesty
or intelligence. His error will die with
him. The truths he made plain will
live

IMPROVEMENT IN FIRE ARMS
Mauser the Celebrated Manufac-
tuFer Makes An Important
Announcements.

Berlin, June l2.-Following the re-
equipment Of the German field artillery
he celebrated manufactures. Maui
ser, has announced that he has perfected
4 new and remarkable repeating small
arms. His invention embraces pistols
and carbines-six shooters, ten shoot
srs and twenty shooters-all OF which
are self loading after the first shot, the
soldier having nothing to do but aim
and shoot. Including the time con-
sumed in consecutive loadings OF the
magazine a practiced marksman can
make sixty shots per minute with the
six shooter, eighty with the ten shooter
and ninety with the twenty shooter.
Trials with both guns and pistols have
proven surprisingly successful.
