JAPANESE RAILROADS.

hard road to travel before she can even
approach American ideas of comfort
and speed in railway travel. might
add, also, that the same thing is true of
other countries I have visited since I
began my travels. We began wrong in
Japan. We built the first road with the
narrow, three-foot, six-inch, gauge, and
we kept on building roads to suit that
measure. 1t is too expensive a matter
now for us to change to the standard
guage, though suppose we must make
up our minds to it some day. But we
must order all our locomotives and
equipment made narrow gauge, and it
costs us more. Japan orders almost all
her railway machinery now from the
United States. The orders to Baldwin's
and other firms increase each year. We
build very few engines in Japan. Labor
is cheap there, but we have very little
raw material"

MEXICO UNDER DIAZ.
Who Can Take the Place of this Repub-
lican Despot?

Exceedingly interesting, at this time,
is the story of what President Diaz has
done for Mexico, in the May Worlds
Work. The change from the man on
horse back, to the prince of peace, the
great development of the country under
his rule, the personal attributes Of the
man are all portrayed by J. D. Whelp-
ley, who goes on to speculate as to
President Diaz's successor and the
probable result of his death to Mexico.
He gives these startling statistics of
President Diaz's administration
Twenty-four years of peace for a
nation of 100000 people, who had
been at war with others, and among
themselves for half a century compul-

cOmprehended.
Judge Less Susceptible to Prejudice Than
the Jury.
If the jurors need the guidance of the
disciplined mind of an impartial judge,
in the matter Of weighing the testimony,
in order to extract the truth from..it,
and also in the application of the law,
relating to the case, to their finding of
the facts, their incompetence for the
duties required Of them, can hardly be
denied. Under the jury system, where
the charge by the presiding judge is
recognized as essential to the proper
performance of the functions Of the
jurors, it must be regarded as an
anomaly, in the very constitution of
things, that the judge shall be consid-
cred incompetent, or unfit to reach a
decision upon the facts, and yet shall be
recognized as fully competent to deal
with all the more difficult matters essen
tial to the reaching of that decision
capable of acting as guide. to the jurors,
through all the numerous obstacles and
intricacies that attend their duties;
competent to point out to them how to
arrive att correct conclusion, yet, in
competent, even, to express his own
opinion much less to give verdict.
The.judge, as result of his vocation,
and Of the experience he obtains upon
the bench, as we'll as by reason of his
previous training, and that habit of
mind which the exercise of judicial
functions begets, is less susceptible to
improper appeals. to either prejudice or
sympathy, and is more alert to hinder
the introduction in--argument of extran-
eous matters, than a jury is likely to be.
The unnecessary employment of
juries to try cases, which could be
better, and more rapidly disposed Of, by
a single. judge, or by two or three
judges, is one Of the chief causes Of the
delay and expense of legal proceedings.
A part of the few, and precious hours,
during which the court sits, is consum-
ed in calling the jury, in hearing
various excuses for unwillingness to
serve as jurors, in disposing of challen-
ges, and, at last, in swearing the jury,
but far greater waste of time takes
place, in trying to make case of any
difficulty, Ineligible to men of little
education, such as are usually found as
jurors, and in the efforts of learned
counsel to delude them,.-to work upon
their prejudices, to enlist their smypa-
thies, and SO win their verdict. After
the counsel on both sides have finished,
the judge is required to go over the
ground again, carefully, partly to undo
what the lawyers have done, and partly
