are being rapidly supraansed by natives
For number Of years Japan has been
senssing its sons 20 America and England

and after having become proficient they
have gone home and taken the places OF
Americans and OF Engi.shmen, upon
whom the government and mercantile
institutions had depended. Foreigner.
were long employed to undertake the
management Of railroads ard the SUPER
intendenee OF maaufac.os!es. The re-
turning natives were given places imme-
diately under these foreigners, SO THAI Al
soon as the pupils became sufficiently
a position OF less responsibility or dis
charged. and the Japanese was promoted
TO the vacancy.
Americans may regret the loss Of the
opportunities, but they cannot view
otherwise than with admiration the good
Judgment with which the change has
been accomplished. 1t Is precisely what
any Intelligent people would do. Il Is
precisely what the United States has
done. namely, gather the experience OF
ever 1t could be put to the best use. The
rapldity and extent Of the change can
be realized from the case OF Trivithic.
who has quite recently left the service Of
the japanese government. He went 10
Japan few years ago as the representa-
~ -
after residence there OF some time, he
was invited TO take charge Of the rail-
read shops at Kobe. He became general
manager. but was encouraged to give
the preference 70 Japanese employees as
they became proficient. The higher
places were thus filed by degrees until
at last Mr.. Trivithic was deprived Of his
executive position, and a native who
had studied locomotive building in Amer
lea was appointed to the place. The
American was very much complimented
by being given position OF general SUI
pervision. But when 1t was found that
the Japanese had familiarized himself
with tho duties OF general manager and
could be trusted to ACT alone, Mr.. Tri-
vithics honorary position was abolished.
and he was let out OF the service as
courteousiy as he was invited into II.
Another man who experienced the Same
treatment was Secretary Of Railways
Aldrich. He educated those around BIN
until his management was no longer
needed. Last month the Japanese gov
ernInent was reported to have one Of its
agents in Philadelphia employing expert
enced railroad men to work on railroads
In japan, but this was denied at the le-
cation In Washington. and the insimation
made that there was practically no OPP
portunity for an American to secure lu-
crative employment in that country.
This Is only In consummo.ion Of the
stories which have come to Us from the
country Of most wonderful people,
that there was nothing that they saw
which they could not initiate; and that
they were shrewd enough to pick out the
best methods wherever they had the OPP
portunity of making comparisons.

The commission would probably eos9

would not cause members Of congress 10
forego their right to foster legislation On
the tariff. Tha commission would Soon
arouse antagen.sm, and its recommended
