wHY IAPAM LOVES ANERIcA.

Japan has seemed at times to cC-
 quette with England, with France with Germany but 1t has only been iD
 each case for special ends. There has
 been all the time hut one genuine love
 and preference, and that is for the na- ti0n which, in her early modern chilli hood. her quick perceDtiors recognized
 as her sincere and Gisinterested friend. It was not that America first discov-
 cred and opened Japan to the world;
 it was net that alone of the western i powers she refunded her snare of the
 Il gotten Shimoposiki spells: it was
 not even that, from the first, the west ern republic was seen to have no 'ax
 to grind in its professions Cf friend ship for the rejuver2ted empire. It
 was for none Of these things that Ja i pan has So steadfa5tly cleaved to her 1 first love. These were mere incidents ! in the course of that love, which has ! been all the time q deep UndeEcuTren. Of real sentiment. based upon an in- stinctiye recognition of American mag nani7nity. Russia from the beginning, has been the object of an equally
 strong instinctive dread, which is noW and always vii. be impossible to over come. England, admired and respect ed as the nasteTful nation Of the
 world, has never won the Japanese heart. Quick to recognize the unc0E-
 Quera5ie British prejudice against al! Asiaics, no such thing as genuine af- fecticn has ever existed beeween the island empires Of the east and of the
 west. France, in turn, has appealed to the esth5ta\ sensibilities of the Jap anese, but there the friendship ends, for it rests on nothing solid CT endur- ing. Germany, with it's impressive i'm peria.isn ana it's spirit of intense by atty to the FatherIand. has struck q responsive chord in the JaCanese breast, which always thrills at the WatchWord5 Of empire and loyaIly But apart from this sentiment there is nothing in common between the Ger man and the Japanese natures. Had there ever bsen, Germany, together with France, has forfeited all possible claims to the nations regard by join ing hands with Russia to infict upon Japan it's bitter humiliation. England and America alone, among al the powers of the west, can ROW count the ] rising empire of the east as . friend; and as between the two, there is no | shadow of doubt where the preference | lies. Japan, for many reasons, would l hesitate long before forming an ali- i ance with England a,one, but should 1 the latter join hands with America, in 5linct as well as policy would draw this nation with irresistible force into ! the triple compact which we all now trust, is to dominate the peace of the May Knapp in June

MANUFACTURERS AND TRADERS.

MT. Halstead, American consul a
 Birmingham, England, has proved So
 alert and intelligent in looking after the interests Of cur manufacturers
 and exporters that any statement from him respecting ways and means cf de- veloping cur foreign commerce is sure
 to receive careful consideration. Af-
 ter considerable experience in posi-
 ton nffording exceptional opportuni-
 ties for observation, MT Halstead
 concludes that, while American man
 Ufacturers are the best in the world, they are the poorest traders. This, he says, is impressed upon him every day by. correspondence with our merchants and manufacturers, and the way they are handling the export trade.
 This is not the first time that Amer jeans have been pronounced deficient in trading skill in the foreign field
 No enc has said they did not know how to trade at home, and the remark able growth of our foreign commerce would give some color to the belief that they are fairly good judges Of commercial conditions abroad. Mr Halstead admits that they know how to make things, but he is disposed to talze q gloomy view of their ability to meet the foreigner Cn equal terms in the trading market Tt is my idea, he says. that American export trade is rolling up like snow ball, bccausa of 50 per cent superiority in manu- facturiDg knowledge and natural re and, despite 15 to 30 per cent in trading knowledge.
 Even this showing is not So bad nf- ter all. Charging of cur sh1rtco11- ings, we still have an advantage Of from 20 to 5 per cent, and that is suf- icient to warrant American exporters in taking a hopeful view of things in general Already they are the best manufacturers, and tt is not Unrea- sCnable to expect that they will hold heir own as trad dsrs It is not unlike y that they hare much to learn in tha 0reign field, but they are apt scholars. | Americans may be relied upon to catch | ID with the Europeans as to fine points in trading long before their ri i -aIs equal them as manufacturers.

CIVIL SERVICE AND COMMON
 SENSE.


 A good many enemies of the presi- dent who cannot disguise their glee at having a new cudgel to use on him, and few zealous civi. service re formers, principally mugwumps, con- tinue their attacks upon the executive for his recent order exempting certain | government employees from the proyis- ions Of the law requiring competitive examinations. Partisan hatred cn one E1nd and lack of ccnln,-n sense on the ether are at the bottom of this new racket. Instead of being a backward step, as is charged, the presidents or der is a step toward rational and prop CT interpretation cf the real spirit of the civil service act Take the case of the deputy collectors of internal rev enue, for they are of the most local in their application to our daily life in the towns of the country. The old Cleveland crder said these offices should be filled through competitive examinations in geography, history, spelling, writing and other academic studies. the highest percentage entit- ipg its holder to first Prefernce. Now in the case of employees whose work involves merely clerical duties this is proper; but something more than book knowledge is required of . deputy coI- lectcr. The matter of habits, of hon osty. of executive ability, of business talent and knowledge of human nature i vii, be considered by the internal rev eEue collector who is under heavy | bonds for thei faithful performance of ! his own and his dcputy.s duties, and . these qualifications will in most cases outweigh considerations of mere So they would and 50 tkey do with the civilian employer No great corporation would select a man to handle it's funds simply be- cause he was proficient in book knowl- sdge, and the smallest employer would think absurd a suggestion that he should waive considerations ofacnesty, reliability and business talent in the ;hcice Of his help. The real object Of he civil service law is to get the best aeryice. The revenue collector, held y HeAFy boiiuS, Hldy De lTuSte&t 10 Se- ect from purely selfish motives such leIp as will conserve his best interests 7hiis assuring like service for the government. Thus the spirit of the aw so dear to the hobby reformer is ,ot violated but encouraged in prac- { ieal way. The principle involved in . he case of the interna. revenue en- 'loycs is virtually the same underly- ag the other exceptions contained ill i he presidents recent order. 2

THE NEW SHIP YARD AT CAMDEN

The determination to locate the new ship yard on the Delaware at Camden
 WIS reached by q process of exclusion such as tic physician uses in diagno- sis. Hare was found every advantage possessed by any other site, and q number Cf advantages net possessed elsewhere that arc going 10 prove i'm portant factors in the economy of ship building The city of Camden, fully aPpreciative of the opportunity, is re moving every possible obstacle in the way Of acquiring the yard and holding cut every reasonable encouragement. such as guaranteeing no increase in taxation for long period. But after all such inducements are minor mat teEs The real factcrs detarminins the location are the proximity of the great steel plants of Pennsylvania, the abundance cf skilled labor in Phila- GeIphIa and the Delaware itself Al these advantages cannot be duplicated anywhere else.

An easy way out of the difficulty in connection with the holding of the band concerts would be for the council to erect a band stand in the city park on West Washington street and per init the concerts to be given there. The park could be improved at small expense ard there is no doubt that it would become a popular place Of re- sort l. is probable that the. street railway company would be willing to contribute something toward the i'm provement and it goes without saying that the general public would approve of the plan. The Republican hopes the council will take up this question, erect band stand in the park and with the return of cool weather take steps to beautify the property. which is very valuable one

Not on this planet for the pur-
pose designed, is there as handsome a
building as the vendome. We know some
thing about planning apartment houses
have visited the great capitals of Europe;
know how the people are housed, and
have entered the abode of royalty. Kings
and princes do not enjoy the household
conveniences embodied in this new apart
ment palace. The design is unique and
result happy. 1t looks out on Main st.
from Chandler. taking in street view
unsurpassed. On each floor are four
apartments of three, four five and six
rooms, with store room and closets hot
water constantly on draught summer and
winter, free; no stove connecting; radia-
tor in kitchen, and gas ranges If desired.
You needn't buy a pound of coal. Every
room bright with sunlight and air. You
can not build such a building and rent
it cheaply but we give you lots for your
money. We wish to rent it to nice people
with small families; no others need
