LAWN TENNIS FINALS,
Whitman and Davis in Very Fit Con-
dftfon.


NEWPORT, r. l., August 23.-Anothe-
bright day made the tennis courts perfect
for the finals in the national lawn tennis
tournament. Whitman and Davis were
both on hand early this morning and SEEM
ed in very fit concition for their match
Davis had the harder work yesterday, and
1t was thought he might feel the effects
today, but he had a good rest last night.
A great many old tennis experts were in
Newport for todays match, and the most
general remark heard before the games
were started were about Davis wonderful
showing in this tournament and his i'm
provement over last year.
Among others. Q. 8. Campbell, Malcolm
Chase and Larned were present today, CIV
ing to the Casino an appearance of former
years. Larned and Wrenn expect to play
again next year. and Chase. too, said yes
terday that he thought he would be able to
take it up again. There is a strong move

WHY JAPAN WEAKENS

Two years ago Japan was talking in a
ing tone to the United States with ref
erence to the latter's acquisition of Ha-
waii. But recent events have had the
effect of modifying the tone of the Or
iental Yankee. He is building a big
navy, but there are others. The others
are now in evidence in the vicinity of
Japan. The absorption of Hawaii by
the United States concerns Japan in an
Insignificant way compared to the move
ment being made in China.
If Japan could get The big war ships
which are now in process of construc-
ton for her in various European and
American shipyards, she would doubt
less make a much sitter stand against
the aggression of land-grabbing powers
in Eastern Asia. War just now would
tie them up, unless it happened that
England joined Japan. Then the ships
that British firms are building, which
include the greater part of all the boats
under construction for the Japanese
government, could not only be taken
possession of, but rushed to completion
with all haste.
That is one very strong reason for be-
lieving that if Japan should resist the
attempts to carve up the Chinese en-
pire, in a way that meant war, it would
be sure sign of an alliance with Great
Britain. Such a union of interests
would be very popular in England in
some respects. 1t would open new pos
sibilities in the way of recruiting good
soldiers, and plenty of them, to fight
under British officers or in British pay,
and it would promise England the bulk
of the trade of Japan, fer a long time
20 come. The last would be the consid-
Grafton having most weight in Great
Britain

THEY TALK ABOUT Us.

There is much talk of Kansas in the
east. 1t is favorable talk, when a year
or two ago it was principally bitter crit
icism. They still hold it in for us for
our Pop rule, and the fact that under it
there is no money in the state treasury
with which to pay its current expenses.
but upon the other hand it is con-
ceded that no state in the west shows
so many signs of prosperity. Kansas
property and Kansas securities are es-
timable for investment and profitable
as holdings. This is seen everywhere in
the columns of the commercial and
other papers and publications with
commendatory references on the re-
ligious and scientific press. The scien-
tific American, in the course of an edi-
torial on our state, sums up it's aston
ishing productive possibilities. That
paper says, emitting the odd thou
sands, the yield of winter wheat in
Kansas in 1897 was $4,000, 900 bushels.
worth $4,000, 900, or 16O per cent more
ot 152.000.000 bushels, and the yield of
oats to 23,0OO000 bushels, the two to-
gether bringing in $50, 100000 The total
value of winter and spring wheat, corn
and oats. was $4,000, 900. This is the
record Of a year of plenty. Compare it
with the crops of the previous year.
when the combined winter and spring
wheat. corn and oats, brought only
$l5,000.000 to the farmers. The table of
the yields and value Of the crops and
products of all kinds, including, in ad-
dition to the cereals already mentioned,
potatoes. fax, sorghum. dairy pro-
ducts. etc, was 1896 200, 600 The total
value of crops and livestock was $780,
100000, and the total net increase of all
agricultural products was $4,000, 900. In
the presence of such figures one is pre-
pared To believe there may be more
truth than jest in the statement that
Kansas will forward a load of cancel
ed mortgages to the forthcoming ex-
position at Omaha as a token of her re-
turning prosperity.

HIGHLY COLORED TALK

No crime is without its excuse Few
people outside of the extreme southern
states would dream that any serious
defense could be offered for the dis
reimbursement of the negro, by consti-
tutional means, in South Carolina and
ance among the lower class of whites
is just as dense as it is among the col
ored people. But here comes the Gal
weston News with a defense of the
prettiest talk conceivable. That pro-
gressive and patriotic organ of De-
mocracy declares that the disfranchise-
ment of the negroes in South Carolina
would do more harm than unrestrict-
ed suffrage unles it contemplates,
which it does. the preparation of the
negro for useful and discriminating cit
izenship. The state has wrestled with
the problem for thirty years. She gave
her colored people schools and suffrage
The results have been discouraging. In
the dilemma presented she means to
abate no efforts to elevate the race,
but only to lift its questionable infiu
ence from the ballot box pending a
thorough study of the question, what is
best to be done for the state. If she
helps herself and her colored people.
any steps she takes to do so will be a
blessing to the entire south. Her as
that the colored man needs
to have the problem of his usefulness
and elevation thought out for him is
shared by the most highly respected
authorities north and south, and any
captious or sectional cricism of her
course may be traced, in the main, to
party designs
