JAPANESE TRADE RELATIONS,

The Baldwin locomotive works of
Philadelphia have just entered an order
for 20 locomotives for the government of
Japan, which ia an addition to orders
previously received and partially filled,
amounting in all to 80. This is not only
an evidence of the rapid progress that
Japan is making in industrial and com-
mercial life, but, carefully considered, af-
fords the basis for an estimate of the rich
rewards that may be expected in the
future as result of closer trade relations
between the two governments. japan
has always favored the United States with
the greater part of her trade, for the
reason that she finds in this country the
best expression Of industrial and COM
mercial development. The standards
found here are those which she desires to
reach and initiate. The question which
now slightly disturbs the tranquility Of
relations between the two countries, may
be expected TO blow over in due time,
without having effected any serious re-
suits.

THE SEEDSMAN'S SPRING.

With brightness shines the April SUM- blue is
the April sky.
Save where tiny, fluffy feck of cloud is fioat-
ing by.
The Popuius monilifera sways in the gentle
breeze,
And the sparrow swings upon its limbs-and
those of other trees.
Stretching across the April world, a sheet of
living green,
As far as eye can see the Poa annua is seen.
Small boys with spades and fishing poles up
turn it, for they know
That where it's thickest latest worms dwell
in the soil below.
Bejeweling the verdant fields-east, west ana
south and north
The golden faced Taraxacum leondodon springs
forth,
And nesting close beside the same one can
distinguish the
Trifolium repens, which soon will lure the
buInblebee.
Beside the rotten log from which we chased
the rabbit out
The Datura stramonium is venturlng to sprout.
The botanizing maiden digs it up with glow
ing glee-
Delphinium formosum she imagines it to be.
Like little fragments lroiu VIC ropoS VI IVY ANY
hard by
Peep into view wee bits of Digitalis purpura.
The merry Bells perennis, light faced and
jaunty, dots
The pasture fields and meadow lands and exc
the garden lots.
But also there are griefs: The boys who seek
the springtime shade
Find Polygonum hydro piper there in ambus-
cade,
And the rank Verbascum thapsus strikes the
suburb dweller dumb,
Choking his beds Of Album neapolitanlcum.

that III spite of all weather difficulties, the
wheat crop of the United States is likely
to reach extraordinary proportions when
com pared with government estimates.
All the threshing returns from the winter
wheat districts indicate yield larger than
expected, and when the deliveries, now
already heavier, are fully under way, it
will be hard to bull wheat in spite of the
prospective European shortage. In re-
gard to this latter matter, significant
utterances from the other side confirm
reports of actual olearances from Atlantic
ports, which summarized in one sentence
mean "a foreign hand to mouth policy"
We have been bullish on wheat for long
while, but it is seldom, if ever, that a
movement, concerted or otherwise, on
the part of the farmers to hold wheat
amounts to much and we expect them to
sell about as usual when they get started.
If they do, there will be a likelihood of
lower prices even if the bins are nearly
empty"

A WELL EARNED REST.

President Mckinley is enjoying va
cation in the Lake Champlain region, and
he will have the best wishes of the coun-
try during his we'll earned rest. For
more than year he has been subjected
to mental and physical strain which few
men could have survived in good health.
An excellent constitution and, especially,
happy temperament have enabled him
to Withstand the extraordinary pressure
and to perform his multifarious and ex-
acting duties as candidate and president
with perfect regularity and with seeming
ease. But it cannot be doubted that he
is tired and in need of such change OF
scene and occupation as he means to Sc
cure. Since the 4th of March he has
recognized the propriety and, probably
also the practical advantage of receiving
all who had the slightest claim, arising
from their own connection with public
affairs, upon his time and attention.
Beyond this he has chosen to be easily
accessible to an army of Office seekers
and to citizens generally who desired to
assure him of their good will, or merely
to inspect him from motives of curiosity
or vanity.
He has borne this ordeal with unfailing
cheerfuness and with genuine courtesy
of demeauor which has won the admira-
ton of all with whom he has come in con.
tact, and has uniformly conveyed the
impression that he regarded it as part
of the service which president of the
United States virtually contracts to rem
der, and not as thing to be done only
out of considerations of policy.
In order that his vacation may be in
the highest degree beneficial and delight
full it ought to be left wholly under his
control. We venture to say that he does
not want to be entertained, but earnestly
hopes that he may be left to entertain
himself If that is his desire, he is Ger
tainly entitled to fulfill it, and it will be
kind and considerate to wait for an init
nation to the contrary.

There are times when the
variation of a pulse beat
tells the practiced physician
whether the scale will go
down and mean death or up
and mean life. But suppose
the medicine he prescribes is
not the medicine which your
child is taking, but some
thing the druggist thought
would do just as well! Who
is going to regulate the bal
ance then : A druggist who
will offer you something else
when you ask for SCOTS
Emulsion will do the same
thing with his prescriptions.
Get what you ask for!

NE FAv0RS NEW MEXICO.

Commander Booth Tucker Of the Sal
walton Army, has returned to the east and
is saying some very nice things to the
newspapers there regarding New Mexico
as section where his industrial colony
may with advantage be located. He
found places in Colorado of advantages
nearly equal to those of New Mexico, but
his heart seems to be set on a location
near Albuquerque. The Salvation Army
settlements are not to be based on the
land for the landless principle, but each
settler is to be located on plot of ground
for which he is expected to pay, eventual
ly, $500. The settler is to pay 81 week,
or 10 per cent interest, for the money
which the army expects to borrow at 5
per cent. Commander Booth proposes
to locate the colonists near towns in which
the head of the family will find work, re-
turning to his claim in the evening to
work upon his land. By way of examples,
the Salvation settlers can find plenty OF
Mexicans around Old Albuquerque who
have lived comfortably, according to their
ideas of comfort, for long time, their
motto being little land we'll irrigated.
The experiment of transferring people
from New York, Philadelphia, Cincinnati
and Chicago to the valley of the Rio
Grande and the cultivation of their own
vine aud fig tree is one that will be
watched with a great deal of interest.

STATISTICS show that the per capita
consumption of sugar in this country is
double what it is in Europe. They also
show that the value of raw sugar imported
by the United States in year is about
$120,000,000. 1t is now proposed to pro-
duce this raw sugar here, from beets, and
the DinRley bill has been shaped to give
this new industry start, which it is esti-
mated will in time give employment to
100000 persons. The tin industry was
born of the Mckinley tariff, and If the
making of raw sugar In the United States
becomes an established fact, as now seems
more than likely, vast benefits will be
conferred upon the people of this coun-
try, who desire profitable employment.
