JAPANESE EXCLUSION.

The expiration of the Chinese exclu-
sion act has brought to the front the
subject of Oriental immigration. With
the talk about a renewal of the Geary
act comes from many quarters the sug-
gestion that the Japanese be included
This hostility to the Japanese springs
from race prejudice, coupled with lack
of information regarding the national
history of Japan, and the attributes of
the Japanese race An opinion prevails
that the japanese are little different
from the Chinese. and Identical argu-
ments are used in favor of their exclu-
sion from the United States.
Japan. a half century ago, was isolated
from the rest of the world and was
classed in the old Biographies as half
civilized, that those conditions obtain
more or less today. Nothing could be
farther from the truth Japan today is
one of the seven great powers of the
world. In industrial, educational and
governmental policy she Is abreast of
European civilization. From absolutism
limited monarchy with responsible cab
met. Her laws are formulated by con-
gress composed of two branches, mod
eled after the British parliament. The
cabinet is composed of the heads of ten
executive departments. The army and
navy are second to none in their equip
ment and efficiency.
Until July II, 1899, the powers insisted
upon eXtraterritorial jurisdiction over
all foreigners accused of crime were tried
by the consular courts of their own ma
ton and not by the Japanese courts.
Upon the introduction of the principles
of Western law and a code of procedure
closely resembling that of the civil law,
all the so-called Christian nations en-
tered into treaties with Japan abolishing
extraordinarily, thus admitting fully
the new nation OF the East into the fam
lily of first-class powers.
Never in the worlds history has a
country made such strides in the march
of civilization. Handicapped by centuries
of a static semi civilization these little
brown men have within the last forty
years advanced as with seven-league
boots upon the progressive nations of
the earth. Already they are abreast of
the hindermest, and should they hold
their pace, two more decades will see
them in the first rank
AS is quite natural, this talk of ex-
clusion is most offensive to the Japanese
people. 1t is an unnecessary insult to
most friendly nation. No economic rea-
son appears for the exclusion or even
the regulation of Japanese immigration,
the immigrants from any European ma
ton. On the other hand, there are a
number of political and commercial rea-
sons for fostering the closest friendship
with the Yankees of the East. These
are too evident to need enumeration
The territory of Japan is overcrowded
The race must expand even if the nation
does not That expansion will be in the
direction of the islands of the United
| States, rather than to the main land AL
ready the population of the Hawaiian ISL
ands is becoming saturated with the
Japanese. AS soon as a stable govern
ment is established in the Philippines we
can expect flood of Japanese emigra-
ton to turn that way Japan should
own the Philippine islands. That is the

TRE4TMENT OF CZOLGOSZ'S FAMILY
When Minister WI, Immediately after
the assassination of President McKin-
ley. said that the assassin should, as
punishment, be given 1000 stabs, the last
one fatal, and that his family should be
annihilated root and branch, he was sup

a heather "Chinee,'' and not those of a.
Christian gentleman
His sentiments, however, so far as the
personal punishment of the assassin was
concerned, received speedy sanction from

Rev. T. De Witt Talmage one would
