JAPAN.
Mr.. Sherman's Reply to Japan's Second
Note Expressed in Moro Friendly Terms
Than His First Communication.

THAI His First Communication.
Sherman has submitted to the japanese
government an answer to Japan's late
note relating to the annexation Of Ha-
wall to the United States. The answer
was delivered to Mr.. Hoshi, the Japa-
nese minister, last Saturday. 1t is in
reply to Japan's note of July 10th which
up to that time had not been acknowl-
edged.
Mr.. Sherman's answer is marked by
a friendly expression toward Japan
which gives special satisfaction. in
view Of the somewhat strained rela-
lions resulting from the previous cor
respondence. Two features are brought
out by the answer:
1t reiterates the position heretofore
taken by the secretary Of state as to
the light and %propriety of annexing
Hawaii to the United States. With
this, however, is coupled an assurance
tina the interests of Japan in Hawaii
will be fully ~safeguarded. 1t also
expresses satisfaction at the plan of
arbitration between japan and Hawaii
on the question of Japanese immigra-
ton to Hawaii.
The answer is largely an elaboration
of Mr.. Sherman's former letter, and
the policies expressed in no way differ
from those Professionally aid dOwn by
him.
Minister Hoshi has cabled the sub
stanc of the answer to the Toxic gov
rnmen and the full text of the an
swer has been forwarded. 1t will no
reach Japan unit September 18th and
no action may be taken until the text
is before the japanese foreign office.
The japanese legation is reticent over
the dispatch, although there is no eff
fort to conceal the satisfaction felt
over the friendly spirit displayed
throughout Mr.. Sherman's answer
The attention of the Toxic government
has been particularly directed toward
these expressions of good will.

this dishonest. dastardly, hypocritical


'rhe death of George H.. Robson affords
a serious lesson TO Republican statesmen
of the average brand. For years this man
was a leader in his party, and the brill
liant toof of the cormorants who looted
the public treasury under Republican aus
pieces. AS Secretary of the Navy, he ran
a career of shame. the mile stones in
which were rotten ships and huge con-
tractors bills. All this time. he was
gIorified and exalted by the party of per-
~auisites and plumber.
But. once out of office, the glamour and
the glory of leadership faded away. He
went into Congress as the representative
of a rotten borough and the tool Of a
boss. but. his services there being dis
counted by his record. he was in the ful-
ness of time thrown out upon the world
a miserable derelict of political corrup-
ton.
His name is now dragged out of the
darkness only to remind the public that
he was once a man of great possibilities
which he surrendered to the base uses
of a base party, and that the only real
value of his life was to serve as an awful
example to politicians who are temple
to stray from the paths of patriotism and
reetituda.
