So that am suggesting that the name be changed to something that will more nearly comport with the fitness of things. Ville, vale, dale. glade, valley, hollow or even "gtati0no seems to me would be an improvement, as 1t ia, 1t seems to me in- consistent, inharmonions if not ridicu- lous. My preference would be Washing tonvale or dale as although there are over hundred Washingtons (including afixes and preflxes) In the United States and two Washingtonvilles in New York state and two in New Jersey, there is not one with vale or dale anywhere, which would help bar letters from going astray or to the wrong state from careless di- rectiug. suppose properly signed pe- tition to the Postoffice Department for any name we could agree on would ac- complish this change.-[A.

JAPANESE EMIGRATION.
NOT YET THOROUGHLY APPROVED AT HOME
JAPANESE IN HAWAII

When the japanese Consul recently telegraphed

Quested that a check might be put upon such
emigration he proved his at this movement
Not only anti-Japanese immigration agita-
ton a foregone conclusion to the Consul but he
naturally deprecated the movement from a jap
anese point of view. II Is not so many years ago
in fact, the lifetime Of a man-that japanese
permitted TO leave Japan for foreign shores.
And If ne did manage 10 slip out OF the country he
had more sense than to go back, for his head would
have rolled into the pits the price for the
satisfaction Of his curiosity Even the ship
wrecked sailors that borne by the current
toward the American shores remained where they
landed II has been claimed that the Indians in
Alaska and further down the coast are descendants
Of these ancient Japanese.
IN spite OF the change Of sentiment toward things
Occidental that has been wrought in Japan-a
change dating from the visit Of Commodore Perry
the idea OF emigration TO foreign shores by the
natives IS by no means encouraged. Sentaro or
sam Patch" however was carried back TO Japan
by Commodore Perry in 1850. and afterward many
other shipwrec1ed returned without the dis
tressing prospect Of annihilation.
