4, Mr.. Goto Shimpei, head Of the civil
government Of Formosa, says that dur
ing the six years which have elapsed
sirce Japan obtained possession OF
Formosa she has invested 140, 600, 900
ven $4,000, 0O0) Of public money In
the island and it is now yielding a
revenue of is per cent on the capital
sunk. The main part Of this revenue
is obtained from the opium tax, the
camphor monopoly and the salt mo-
nopoly, which yield 100000 yen (s3,-
0000o0) each. Three years ago, when
the present governor general went to
Formosa, the revenue was only a lit
tie over 100000 ven ($2.5o0 ,o00), but
there is every reason to think that
it will soon amount to 100000 yen
$50 .000,000). According to the 1nan-
cial scheme originally mapped out, the
central government was to furnish o.
100000 yen (s1,000,000) annually for
twenty years in aid of F'ormosa's adj

a LARGE VILLAGE.

Though Moscow Is Populous Its Ap
pearancs II Provincial.
In Russia everything is large and
everything is loud. Moscow is like an
immense village and everything in it
is built broad, not high, because there
lis SO much space to. cover. The public
squares, unpaved and surrounded by a
little rim Of cobbles, are as big as
meadows. The arcades and passages,
with their cellars below, their steps
above, their glass roofs, are so enorm-
Gus that they could hold the Passage
des Panoramas and the Burlington ar
cade and the galleries at Milan, with
out filing more than corner Of them.
Colors shrek and flame; the Muscoy-
lite eye sees only by emphasis and con-
trast; red is completed either by an,
other red or by bright blue. There
are no shades, no reticences, no modu-.
lations. The restaurants are filled
with the din Of vast mechanical or
gans, with drums and cymbals; great
bell clashes against a chain on all the.
trans to clear the road; the music
one hears is a ferocity Of brass. The
masons who build the houses build in
top boots, red shirts and pink trousers;
the houses are painted red or green or
blue; the churches are like the temples
Of savage idols, tortured into every un-
natural shape and colored every glar-
ing color. Bare feet, osier sandals and
legs swathed in rags pass to and fro
among the top boots Of the middle
classes, like the inner savagery of a
race still SO near. arbarism, made evil

Of primitive races.

l1t1cal lieutenant and manager in the
north star state, no one has any doubt
Mr.. Roosevelt well understands the neces-
sity of shrewd political management in
the conduct of his interests throughout
the union. While Minnesota is apparently
solid for Roosevelt, and was before the
national calamity that elevated him to the
pen in three years, and the Roosevelt in
terests need to be in competent hands in
Minnesota, as well as in the more doubt
full eastern states.
1t also goes without saying that the man
selected by President Roosevelt to guard
his interests in Minnesota, will also have
the presidents ear when it comes to
questions of patronage, for it will be by
patronage that Roosevelt will either gain
or lose among the politicians. It is this
that makes the position of Roosevelt
manager especially to be coveted.
1t will not be conferred as reward for
political services. The new president
comes into Office absolutely unbound by
any debt of gratitude to Minnesota or any
Minnesota man. There is no "original
Roosevelt man" to reward. The president
is free to use his best political judgment
and to act for his own best interests.

This is not the best judgment of DO
litical leaders, however. A leading Min
nesota republican, discussing the subject
this morning, said:
Mr.. Roosevelt certainly appreciated tba
hospitality and attention bestowed on him
by Mr.. Shevlir, and 1 am sure he likes AR
Shevlin personally. As to making his host a
dispenser of patronage and manager of his
Minnesota interests, that is out of the oues-
ton. President Roosevelt is close observer

Senator Knute Nelson President Roosevelt
has a very high opinion of the senior sena-
tors ability and influence. They campaigned
together last year in South Dakota and Mon

heard. He was deeply touched, too, by Mel
sons tribute to him at the dinner given by
Mr. Shevlin, when the senator turned tn
Roosevelt and told him why the people of the
north star state loved him.
