PROGRESS IN JAPAN.

The year 1898 will be memorable in
ment in Japan. It was believed by
many that owing to the vicious system
of clan government, a revolution would
follow the conflicts in the Diet. 1t was
believed by many that the Japanese
people failed to comprehend the princi-
pies of constitutional government, and
would force the country back to rule of
arbitrary government.
The enormous expenditures in the
construction of a large navy, and the
increase of the army, called for large
additional taxation. 1t was concluded
on all sides that increased revenue
could be obtained only by the taxation
of land. So great was the opposition
party dared to propose it. The needs
of the nation demanded the increase,
but the statesmen did not dare to stake
their fortunes upon making it an is
sue before the people.
Marquis Ito fully appreciated the i'm
portance OF the crises, and resigned Of
flee with the hope that party, instead
| of clan, government would find
strength to meet the issue. 1t was a
bold movement and will probably be
successful The House of Representa-
tives has passed the bill providing for
the land tax The farming classes, con-
trary to the expectations Of the Pro
gressionists, have recognized the JUS
tice of the measure and do not oppose
it.
The action of the House is the frs
important evidence of the good sens'
and patriotism of the people in the con
duct of government by party and no
by clan. European statesmen, am
foreigners residing in Japan have no
expected that the local politician
would so quickly yield their local pre-
JUDGES, and act for the common good

the century. The successful workln
of that constitution is another an

MET THE LAW.

The international law providing for
the declaration of neutrality in the
event of war was the immediate cause
of Dewey's attack upon, and victory
over. the Spanish fleet at Manila.
Prof. Hollis of Harvard, the eminent
naval constructor and authority on the
efficiency of war ships seems to
think that Dewey showed his great
capacity in the work preliminary 10
the naval engagement. The engage
meut itself was almost a trivial affair
i'm the singular inequality of the OPP
posing forces.
Upon this declaration OF war Ad-
miral Dewey was turned out of Hong
Kong, and all OF the Asiatic ports were
closed to him. He was also seven

caught the Spanish fleet before it could

While the people are shouting over
his victory in the destruction OF an Ill
conditioned Spanish fleet, the students
in history see that Dewey's renoWn
will rest mainly ON his daring method
OF meeting the emergency caused by
the neutral proclamations. Suddenly

THE CULTIVATION OF GINGER

In the American Journal of Pharma-
cy is an elaborate article on the cult
walton of ginger as a commercial pro-
duct in the island of Jamaica.
1t is an important article of COM
merce. In the judgment Of the writer,
from %, 900 to $4,000 Of the people are
more or less dependent upon il for
ready money. In 1896 the amount eX-
ported was ,906 SOC lbs. The estimates
are that only 250 acres of land are
under the cultivation Of this sort in
large farms. It is mainly grown in
small patches near the homes of the
poorer people, SO that they can, at
odd moments, tend them. In the Gull
tivation of this plant the labor Of the
women and children is important. The
average yield is from 1000 to 1900
pounds per acre, and the price is about
~ cents per pound. The plants are
set out in March and April and are
harvested in December and January.
There is also a rattoon crop. 1t is said
that the crop is an exhaustive one,
but there do not appear to be any
serious attempts to provide an ade-
auate fertilizer Much land upon which
coffee and ginger have been cultivated
has been abandoned. This is largely
due to failure to preserve the fer
tility Of the soil.
Here apparently, then, is a simple
industry which, if properly introduced
in these islands would bring com
