the commercial spirit Of the age. They
are aggressive young fellows who are
committed to the developing OF the ma
terial resources Of the Empire. Prime
Minister Ito who for the third time Is
at the head Of the Cabinet, h disposed
to give his young colleagues wide lati-
tude In which to carry out their policy
OF building up the Industries Of the
country. Last year over five hundred
miles of new railway were constructed
in Japan. and this year 1t Is proposed TO
build even a greater mileage. All toll.
there are two thousand miles Of rail-
way in Japan. and in order to make
them pay they must lie fed with the
traffic that springs out of commercial
activity. These railways belong both
to the government and private corpora
tons. and connect the principal cities
of the Empire. In order to stimulate
manufactures. the new Cabinet de-
sides to negotiate commercial treaty.
Germany has been selected as one of
the countries which will be invited TO
enter such a treaty. The Japanese ar
que that Germany manufactures ma.
chinery which they need. and con-
sumes the products which they manu-
facture. Therefore a commercial treaty
with Germany Is looked upon as Il
desirable acquisition. This eagerness,
on the part Of the laps. to secure 4
commercial treaty. under which the
products of the two countries thereto
may he advantageOusly exchanged.
ought to attract the attention of our
government. Germany produces no
machinery that we do not produce and
she consumes no Japanese products
that We do not consume. We can Sc
cure the trade of Japan If We go after
1t ON terms that will be acceptab BILE
to the new Cabinet. but we cannot get
IL II we remain inactive and silent while
Germany is pursuing the prize. We
ought to furnish the Japanese the
greater part Of their railway iron, and
their rolling stock. but we furnish them
only a small fraction of what they use.
We ought TO furnish them the maehin-
cry they use in their cotton and silk
mills. but we do not furnish any to
speak of. We ought to have market
there for our machinery. agricultural
implements. etc. but the Foreigners ON
the other side of the Atlantic enjoy "A
monopoly of what we ought TO share.
The Japanese like US. They are trying
TO make their system of government
analogous TO ours. so far as 1t is posi-
Bile TO make a monarchy resemble re-
public. In view of this We ought TO
compete with Germany for the trade OF
the Japanese. and If necessary make
such concessions as would secure for
us Il continuing market for our staples.
and the products of our mills aud fac
tories, which now glut the channels Of
home consumption. Japan wants TO
trade with the outside world: why not
have her trade with this country3

frage, but makes an exception where
the illiterate voter possesses property

u man who cannot read and has no
mules to vote simply because his
grandfather was a voter more than
thirty years ago Is a decided innova-
ton. The proposal would be amusing
were 1t not so serious. In business lite
young men frequently bank on the
credit of their fathers. and In social
life there is u tendency to rely on
grandfathers or more distant ances-

gestion of a hereditary qualification

them would care to continue voting in

ton Is of doubtful validity. A majority
of the delegates opposed it. but accept

United States Attorney Ellinwood yesterday received directions from the attorney general of the United States to set the case of the United Statas vs. the Copper Queen Consolidated com pauy for trial as early as possible. This is suit to recover $1S3, 900, the value estimated upon stumpags of wood on the western side of the Chiricahua mountains cut by the defendants. Two trials have been had, in both of which juries disagreed. The whole matter seemed to hinge upon the character of the land from winch the timber had been cut. If it was mineral land, the defendant could not be held for dam- ages If it was not, the defendant had committed violation of the law. Last fall the government sent member of the geological survey, Mir. Waldemar Lindgren, to make an examination of the country. His report has not heen made public, but the fact that the gov ernment has ordered Q continuation If the litigation indicates that his finding is against the copper company. Re publican.

OFFICIAL SNOBBERY.

We have been honored CD by another ofliial communication from Phoenix. signed by Charles II. Ahers and R. Allyn LewIs, committeeman, announcing that it is proposed to cele- brate Washington's Birthday, Feb. 22, in Phoenix. The programme will in cludo athletic sports, parade of mili- tary and civic societies, and in the evening a public reception to the sa- ministration and the supreme court, to be followed by grand ball. We are requested to give the celebration Q free ad, and to keep it before onr read CTS until the date set.
 The announcement furnishes addi- tional evidence that tue McCord ad- ministration is fond of adulatioD and cheap display. The spectacle of off cial mummery at Phoenix is nauseating to people of good sense. aud disgrace to the territory. The spirit of George Washington will groan to witness tn. mockery of a celebration into which his name is to be dragged to give u few functionerles cheap uotoristv. The Gazette says that McCord hopes, by holding this reception, to heal the breech in the Republican ranks. Il will require more than conventions ana receptions to bolster up his totteripe administration. The people of Arizont can not bo fooled by any such clap trap, and only await the opportunity to register their disapproval and dis gust.

Yesterday was the day set by Congress for voting on the Oklahoma, New Mexico and Arizona statehood bills. The announcement has excited no interest, however, us the result of the vote was never in doubt The Repub hcans in Congress decided long since that DO new states would be admitted during the present session. us to admit the three territories would almost cer- tainly strengthen the silver forces in the United States senate by six votes. Our governor, when he wrote the elaborate plea for statehood in his report to the Secretary of the Interior, was fully aware that the pational administration was irrevokably opposed to the admission of Arizona, aud bis advocacy of the measure is buncombe. Statehood or home rule, either one, if conferred upon Arizona, would mean McCord's political death. As state hood was not among the possibility, MeCord and his newspaper organs have concentrated their efforts to defeat the bill in Congress to give Arizona home rule. and with the pull he has on Mckinley and Republicans in Congress McCord may accomplish his purpose, to hold on to the governorship.

HANNA, THE BRIBER.

The Ohio senatorial bribery investi- eation has overshadowed all other matters polital during the past week, and the impression upon the public mind is decidedly adverse to Senator Hanna and the Republican machine in Ohio. The mere fact that they have done their utmost to obstruet the in vestigation by directing witnesses to refuse to answer questions is presump- tive proof of the truth of the charges preferred by Representative Otis that money was used to secure votes for Hanna. and that he himself was offered | large sum if he would support the

 If the charges of bribery were the invention of disgruntlcd political mar plots it should not be difficult for the Republican organization to disprovo theM, and if Mr. Hanns is is innocent 1t should be his sedulous desire to further the investigation by every fair means, that he might be fully vindi- cated. That he has not done 80, but to the contrary, has done everything in his power to defeat the investigation, is the worse for Hanna and tine Re- publican party in Ohio, and will even reflect seriously upon the national ad- ministration.
 Fortunately, Hanna's corrupted wit truth of the charges of bribery. Boodler Boyce. who acted as Hanna's agent in tho shady transaction, has dis appeared with S17.500 corruption money uncxpended. That of itsell looks bad for Hanna, and the evidence adduced during the sitting of the legis- lative committee on the 22d inst. is SC conclusive as to leave no doubt of the truth of the charges. Boyce was shad. owed by detectives from the moment be landed in Cincinnati, and every significant move he made was noted Every word spoken in the convsrsa tions over the telephone, between Boyce and the Hauna headquarter, was taken down by stenographers, ane given in evidence before the investiga ton committee. Boyce said it would take Sl0, 900 to buy Otis vote. Hollen beck, another Hauna agent, was shad owed to tue bank where be drew $20, 900, and the disposition of the money was proven by the stenographer's re port of Hollenbeck's telephone conver sation, stating that he had cashed tn, draft for S20, 1000 and given the none, o "Gen." Boyce.
 Representative Ots and Attorne, Campbell, two of the most importan witnesses, who will not refuse to talk are yet to be examined. Chairman Burke, of the committee, has an nounced thut as soon as the committe shall be through with the witnesse called, proceedings will be begun t punish recalcitrsnt witnesses for con tempt.
 Meanwhile Mayor McKisson has de clared his intention to contest Hanna seat in the United States senate, an' will be able to make it very interestinl for the boodling senator from Ohio.
 The Hanua bribery case has beeom so notorious, and the proof of suborna tion is so strong that the question Q the political control of seat in th senate is dwarfed by the far more i'm portant one of the attitude the Re publican party should assume in tn matter. Public sentiment has alread convicted Hanna, and the RepublicaI party is nov on trial, and their onl hope of retaining the confidence of large conservative following IS to re pudiatc Hanna and declare for bones politics. Will they do it?
