The relations between Japan and the
United States are likely to be closer than
those of Japan and any other western pow
er. In rousing herself from the lethargy so
characteristic OF oriental nations Japan has
accomplished a marvel of national enter
prise. In her effort to establish herself
among the Great power; she should receive
every ncOIragement especially from
America, with whom her relations have al
ways been most friendly and with whom
she is now likely t. be brought into still
closer contact through trade with the Phil
ippines.

Must Build Separate Stations.

The state railroad commission has brought the railroads centering in Att lanta to time in their evasion of the order to build a passenger depot ade- quate to the needs of Atlanta by order ing them each 10 build separate sta ticn. Fer long time the shed in pres ent use has been an eyesore to the peo- rle and repeated propositions have been made to the roads by which they could combine on suitable structure. They have exhausted its patience and now exerts its authority in compelling each road to build costly station. They are ten railroads, and unless they get clemencv from the commission the problem will be an extremely compli- cated one.

HprcRAMs BY BRYAN.
vsnocratic Truths Delivered in Terse and Taking
 Style.

William J. Bryan has an epigram- matic manner of speech which rivets attention and causes the truth of his utterances to strike home and to re- main constantly in the memory.
 In his recent address delivered at the Auditorium meeting Bryan was un- usually forceful and remarkably wise in his remarks, and the entire speech was masterly in its logic and irresisti- ble in it's eloquence.
 In dealing with the subject of the trusts, the great democratic leader spoke words that cannot be forgotten. Among other things he said:
 "The trust is bad because of the mo- nopoly feature. When a few people control a product necessary to human existence, then those few control to a large extent the lives and the happi- ness of all who produce those articles, all who work in producing, and all who furnish the raw material used in its manufacture.
 ''Can we afford to build up in this na- ton a system by which a few shall transmit wealth from generation to generation, where the masses can only hope for a clerkship under some trust?
 If they say there is no way to stop the trust, that the republicans are do- ing all they can, remember that it is within the power of the president to appoint an attorney general who will enforce the law against trusts, even If he has to go out of the republican party to get the attorney general.
 And if the law on the statute book ; is insufficient, it is within the power of the attorney general to propose laws which are sufficient, and if the consti- tuition stands in the way, it is within the power of the attorney general to recommend an amendment to the con- stitution which will give to congress plenary power to deal with this subject.
 But the republican party is power less to annihilate the trusts so long as the trusts furnish the money to keep the republican party in power"
 These words should be studied care fully by every man who has the good of the people at heart.
 In them will be found the arraign- ment of the trust, the description of it's evils, the suggestion of the remedy, the impeachment of the republican party and the demonstration that the peo- pie need hope for no relief from that party.
 Seldom has so much of truth. wis dom and epigram been expressed with such terseness. There are volumes in less than half hundred ines.-Chi- cago Democrat.

PREPARING TO WIN.
Democrats Getting Ready to Pat Out the Enemies of the
 People.

Mir. Bryan's summary of the work ac- complished by the democratic national committee at its recent meeting in Chi caco presents the results of that con- ference as bearing upon the presiden- tial campaign of next year in clear and positive light.
 There is good reason to believe that an exceptionally compact and harmoni- ous organization of the national democ- racy has been insured by the Chicago action of the committee. Party lines for the management of the next cam paign have been more closely drawn. Notice has been distinctly served that local factional differences will not be permitted to affect the harmony of pur- pose prevailing in the national organi- zation. Participants in these local dis agreements have been urged to reach an amicable understanding for the good of the party.
 Mir. Bryan is justified in his expres- sion of satisfaction that the recent work of the national democratic committee places the party in excellent shape for the campaign of 1900. Aggressive movement will not be delayed until aft CT the adjournment of the democratic national convention, as was the case in 1896. The organization of the party will have been perfected, and, with it's platform of principles clearly enunciat- ed, its systematic efforts for democratic victory will begin the moment the dch- ocratic standard bearer is named.
 In the great fight against the trust evil, the fight of the people led by de- mocracy, effective organization is im- perative. It is good to See this organi- zation begun at an early day by the party managers. It is incumbent upon the party in each and every state to vig- orously assist the national committee in the work of organization. The fo- menting or the continuance of local fac tional disputes means distinct lessen ine of the chances of democratic victory in 1900. There will be no such elements of weakness manifested if democrats place the good of the party above self ish personal considerations.-St. Louis Repuhlic
