JAPAN's wooLEN INDUSTRY.
Cloth manufactures still in an In
cipieHt Stage.

cipieHt Stage.
Consul General John F. Convey. at Yo-
kohama, writes TO the State Department
regarding the woolen cloth industry in
Japan as follows:
Il transmit herewith a newspaper clip
ping relating TO the woolen industry and
the probable increase in the manufacture
of woolen goods in Japan, as indicated by
the increase in the importation of the raw
material. In this connection l have TO say
that the customs return for the first nine
months of 1898 show that the importation
of the raw material amounted TO 1851. 1893
pounds, at a declared value of s574,317
The newspaper article says: The man
ufacture of woolen cloth in Japan still re
mains in an incipient stage, notwithstand-
ing the yearly increasing demand for many
varieties of cloth, such as muslin flannel
blankets, serges, etc. The average impor-
tation of manufactured goods amounts to
about $3.50, 900 annually, but this year as
early as September last ii had already
reached 1000, ,000 Several factories have
however, been encouraged to adopt a plan
for the expansion of their works in conse-
quence of which the importation of raw
material, wool, etc, which has not hitherto
exceeded 100000 annually. amounted to
$5I3,675 at the end of October last the fig
ures showing an increase of $3.50 104, or so
per cent, as compared with the correspond
ing period of the previous year.

We should not envy the lot of the telegraph
operator who will be condemned 10 reside on
this little speek OF land, away out in the Pacific
Ocean, In some respects he would be in a worse
plight than Robinson CT'lsOe on his solitary ISL
and, for there are animals. no fruits and not
even a solitary spring OF fresh water there. He
could not say that ne IS monarch OF all he
surveys. for he would survey only the bread
bosom OF the ocean and the houndless expanse
Of sky above him. Perhaps he might 6nd some
diversion in fishing in the lagoon and picking
up sheiifish along the shore. But he would have
the advantage OF Robinson Crusoe in one respect
he would keep in touch with the outside world
by means OF his cable and his solitary existence
might be cheered By the occasional visit OF a
shin.

MUCH interest will be taken in
the Walsh county vote for state
treasurer as both candidates for
the office come from that county.
Plain unassuming Tom Bolton, the
Park River wheat raiser, is the in
dependent democratic candidate
while the man selected by the re-
publicans is the Grafton real
estate broker and owner of bank
stock, D. W. Driscoll, who styles
himself as farmer on the basis of
owning a herd Of thoroughbred
cattle which he has on exhibition
in pasture field adjoining town.
Votes for Tom Bolton, in old

The indignation which some
very good people of reputed intel.
ligence express over the way in
which corporations are shifting
war taxes from themselves to their
customers is amusing. Telegraph
companies are required by law to
pay a stamp tax on their messages,
but they simply refuse to take
messages from any person who
does not first aAix the stamp. Elk
press companies are required to
place stamp upon their shipping
receipts. They can't initiate the
telegraph companies and compel
their customers to do this for them,
so they calmly raise express rates
high enough to cover the tax. This
is as we said it would be. Every
body who ever gave thought to
taxation knew it would be so. If
the public learns from this ex-
perience that it is the customer
that pays indirect taxes, no matter
who is ordered to pay them, some
very valuable information will
have been very cheaply purchased.

THE PEOPLES NOMINEES.

At the head of the first column
of our editorial page is to be found
a ticket that joins the forces Of the
democrats, independents and silver
republicans of North Dakota,
on the issues of the state campaign
this fall and Is admitted even by
our friends, the enemy to be a
good one.
In it's makeup will be found
men, who besides possessing
prominence and standing along
party lines may be depended upon
to carry out the wishes of the peo-
pie and see that all laws are en-
forced. At the same time they
have the ability to fill the offices
for which they are nominated with
honor to their party and them
selves.
The ticket is strong in the line
of not being composed of chronic
Office seekers but of successful
business men from every section
of the state, all of whose views on
national issues are opposed to
those of the republican party and
they stand unitedly on the platform
of the democratic party as adopted
at Chicago IN 1896.
Not man from top to bottom
can be used as target by the re.
publican press for petty low
he'd filings. They are men Of clean
character and each has reputa.
ton that gives tho voter conf.
dence that insures victory. The
republicans have too long beer
identified with the inveterate Office
seeker and the grasping and dodg'
ing corporations who hand in hanc
worked in vain effort to take
from the people right and free
dom that belongs to every citizen
:: The campaign will be thorough
ly organized on actual live is
sues that no argument O.
the supporters of the railroad
ticket can refute. Issues in which
the tax payers of the state ar'
vitality interested in and will

ers nothing can avert the un
doing Of the gangism leaders whel
the vote of the people is counted

PE.4CE NEGOTIATIONS
President Mckinley and his ad

President Mckinley and his adj
visers never had more need for
all their wits than now that
Spanish trickery has made
start, through the French ambas-
sador, for the opening of "negotia-
tions" for peace. They have got
to remember that while no Euro
pean power would dare to fight the
United States, there are several of
them that would DO only too glad
to aid Spain in getting the best of
us through diplomacy, and if Nc
Kinley consents to make the terms
of peace subject to negotiations"
there are numerous ways in which
it might be done. There are men
in this country, especially those
who have connections with the
great European financiers who
have money invested in Spanish
bonds that are secured by Cuban
revenues, who would be only too
glad to have a chance to try to
save something out of the wreck
by having the terms of peace ar
ranged by diplomatic negotiations.
1t is not case for negotiation.
Senator Morgan correctly stated
the case when he said: ut is the
duty of Spain, if she wants to
make peace, and that means if she
wants to surrender, to ask terms of
tho United States, and state what
she will he willing to accept.
Spain, having lost the control Of
her colonies because of her incom-
petence, either to govern or to de-
fend them, the United States ought
to accept nothing except a full
and complete surrender of the
sovereignty Of all of these islands,
from Porto Rico to the PHILIPPINES.
To make treaty with Spain to
which Cuba becomes a party by
being all agent in the negotiation
of the treaty or being provided for
in the treaty itself will lead to en-
barrassment and complications in
the future. The war has not yet
progressed to that stage in which
the people of Spain, or even the
Spaniards in Cuba, have realized
the fact that the United States has
power to suppress Spain utterly Ii
it should choose to do so.''
