THE ELECTION.

The number of Hawaiian voters re-
Eistered in the Honolulu district shows
pretty clearly how the election Will go

selves. pull the majority to them, There
are however signs of disagreement
among the Independents. Everything
iB not smooth in the Independent camp
ard by the time the election comes off
these divisions viii be much more pro-
nounced than they are now.
with this prospect before us it be-
hoves the Republican party to work
with a will and not to allow fractional
strife TO prove it's ruin. There are
luany Hawaiians in it's ranks and more
will come to them yet. In a three cor
nered fight such as we shall have at the
coming election the winners will be
ahOse who keep united,
Il is almost a pity we split ourselves
uP at this first election upon the party
lines of the mainland. The issues here
are not those of great parties, and we
have no influence upon national poll
tics. The outcome of the present stu
alton will, as likely as not, be fusion
of the conservative. elements of all
parties to obtain a respectable and eff
-cient representation. If proper men
are put up as candidates by the Re-
publican party, they will draw votes
from all parties. 1t is upon the can
didates chosen that the election will
turn. Candidates must be men able to
pull votes 1t is no use putting up
men who will ALLEVIATE votes. And this
tt is the duty of those who are working
in the conventions to consider.
The coming Legislature will have to
deal with questions of vast Importance
There are monetary and municipal
questions which will make or mar the

AN EFFECTIVE ARMY.

In the war with China Japan has won
tne. chlet honors. The Japanese troops
are spoken of as well drilled. well dis
cf'line1 and full of courage and dash
When one thinks that this army has
been created in something like TWENTY
fVe years, it speaks highly for the or
ganiZing power of the leading Japanese.
and the adaptibility of the masses.
The Japanese modelled their military
system on the German plan. This was
the result of the Franco German war.
Up to that time the French were re-
garded as the equals and by some ex-
perts as the superiors of the Germans
in military affairs. That war decided
the military superiority of Germany and
1t was just at that time that japan
started to create an army on modern
lines. Besides getting military instruc-
tors from abroad, young japanese were
sent to Europe to study and General
Fubushima, who has command of the
japanese forces now in China, was for
many years military attache of the
Japanese Legation at Berlin and during
that time made an exhaustive study of
the German military system.
Based as 1t is upon the continental
system, military service in Japan is
compulsory, Every japanese on reach
ing twenty years of age must serve for
fHree years, This law went into effect
November %, 1872. But up to the pre-
seat this has practically been theory
for owing to financial reasons Japan
HIS not been able to take all her men
into her army as they grew to military
age Within the last four or five years,
however, the ideal has been more nearly
reached. With the dark cloud of Rus
clan aggression for ever hanging on her
horizon Japan has had to strain every
nerve to be prepared for attack.
On peace footing the Japanese army
has a strength of 1885, 42 officers and
men. The reserve force Is put down at
275,00O, so that Japan could in short
time mobilize an army of 100000 trained
men and in case of pressure there are
many millions of young men to fall
back upon. Thus Japan's military force
is by no means despicable even to such
power as Russia, and the Japanese of.
ficers are showing that they understand
how to handle their men.
The crack division of the Japanese
army is the Imperial Guard a force OF
600 men picked from the whole army
and under the direct control of the MI
kado. 1t consists of Calvary Infantry
and Artillery. The back bone of the
Japanese army are the twelve maiI
divisions consisting of $4,000 men. Eacl
division has two infantry brigades Of
two regiments, one cavalry regiment o.
five squadrons and one regiment of ar
tillery, besides pioneers, telegraph corps
etc. Formosa is garrisoned with ter
thousand troops not counted in the di
visions and the gendarmerie, which II
a military organization fills up the
grand total. The force of 5000 mer
which Japan now has in China could b.
greatly increased without calling upor
the reserves.

takes time. However if the Australians
