OLD BATTLE ABBEY.

Patriotic Englishmen are so afraid
that should classic old Battle Abbey

the plan of raising a national fund with
which to buy and present it to the coun-

il is now reported that definite steps to

the Sussex Archaeological Society
The stately old monastery which
William the Conquerer built to comme-
morate his victory at Hastings was for
years the property of Lord Rosebery's
mother the Duchess of Cleveland. The
duchess always took a special pride in
the old abbey, and did all she could by
means of repairs to save such of 1t as
was not already in ruins. After the
death of the duchess Captain Forester
inherited the estate. and it is he VINO
now offers it for sale.
Having been built in 1867, almost inn
mediately after the Conquerers over
throw of the Saxon king, Battle Abbey
is of course, one of the oldest historical
relics in Great Britain, and the parts
of it that are still standing are among
the finest specimens of Norman archi-
lecture now existing. The abbey stands
on the same high eminence, about six
miles from Hastings, where the English
king planted his standard, while the
high altar is supposed to occupy the
exact spot where Harold fell with an
arrow through his skull. Six thousand
acres round about were set apart by
William as the abbey grounds, and a
contingent of Benedictine monks was
brought over from France to live in it,
1t was christened Battle Abbey" and
made the repository of the Conquerors
sword and of the famous roll of his
barons.
Henry VIII, during the time when he
was Ousting the church everywhere and
presenting its property to his favorites,
gave Battle Abbey to one Gilmer, who
after maltreating it in attempts at inn
proyement, sold the stately building tol
Sir Anthony Brown, the kings master
of horse, whose family occupied it for

JAPAN's MISSION.

An interesting view Of the mission of
Japan in the immediate future of the
far East was presented at a dinner in
New York by one of the most notable
public men of the time. This is the
Marquis Ito, to whose efforts the in
PRODUCTION of constitutional parliament
tary government ia the empire of the
Mikado is mainly attributed. He point
ed out that what may be called the
new Eastern question springs out Of
the contact of two Numerically OPP
posed civilizations, not the transient
contact of conflicting rulers and armies,
but the ever increasingly dense contact
Of millions with millions in their daily
life.
The Japanese, in his view, are the
only people in the Orient who can fully
understand the import and significance
of the two civilizations. 1t is the mis-
sion of Japan he says to play a role
in the maintenance of the future peace
of the Orient and to take the part of
honest broker in the coming contact
of diametriccaly opposed cultures,
How Japan has been qualifying her
self to play this part was indicated by
some figures showing the development
of the country in the last decade or so.
The railway mileage considerably more
than tripled in the ten years ending in
1899, the kilograms more than quad
rupled and the telephone wires increas-
ed from 300 miles to over $4,000 miles in
the same period, while the foreign COM
merce of the country increased to over
three times what it was at the begin
ming of the period. There can be no
doubt that Japan is the leader of Asia
tic civilization, and that it has it within
it's power to play weighty role in the
world politics. of the future

The suggestion for Mckinley Memo
rial Flower Market made by James
Steiner through the columns of The
Star seems to have aroused consider
able interest and response. There is
much in the suggestion and doubtless
the Memorial committee will thorough
ly consider it. There is no city in the
world which has flower market which
is not proud of it, and which does not
attach considerable sentiment to it,.
The early morning flower market in
Union Square New York attracts thou
sands of visitors to the metropolis. And
the flower vendors at the corner of
Geary Market and Kearney streets, San
Francisco. are one of the attractive
sights of that city.

rHE RErrn1IcAN PARTY.

II is said the Home Rulers will to-
night wrestle with the question OF
whether their party name shall be the
Independent Home Rule Party or the
Independent Home Rule Republican
Party The important thing, what the
party signifies, seems to be entirely
overlooked. Adding the word Republic
can to the Home Rule partys name
viii not make Il the Republican party,
nor viii Il even deceive any person in
to believing II is the Republican party.
No changeling party can be recognized
by anybody, and the only republicans
are those who believe in the principles
of the Republican party and act with
It. There is room and welcome i'm the
Republican party for every voter in
the Territory of Hawaii But there
can't be two Republican parties here,
when one of them repudiates
essential Republican doctrine. Adding
the word Republican to the name Of
the Home Rule party will still leave
that party where il has placed itself,
essentially reactionary in character.

Pains tramway drivers need some
thing more than uniforms to make them
fit for the service they are paid or UNI
derpaid to perform. Many of them
need to be taught that it is not neces-
sary for them to spend their time leer-
ing back in the car at lady passengers,
and that they would be much more use
full to their employer, and more satis-
factory to patrons if they were on the
alert to see the signals of intending
passengers. Unless people are out in
the middle of the street many of the
drivers never see or hear a signal to
stop. A signal from the sidewalk is
as unnoticed as the ordinary rules that
usually govern such employment.

With the approach of the congress-
ional session attention is being directed
Ia n variety of matters about which
interest has Tor some time past been
allowed TO SUMMER. Among these Is
the project of establishing a permanent
census bureau. This Is "a plan which
comes up for discussion periodically
the interest in 1t being most keenly felt
when the strain Of the work OF census
taking is on. Whether It is likely to
have an attentive hearing at the next
session remains to be seen.
OF the advantages to be derived from
the concentration OF the governments
statistical work and the creation of a
permanent bureau to handle such work
we have repeatedly spoken. 1t is not
necessary that it should be called a
census bureau; perhaps it would be
better to designate il a statistical bu-
reau pure and simple and give it
charge Of the census work, as well as
OF all other branches Of statistical
labor.
Some such arrangement, it is likely,
will have to be made ultimately, and
would certainly seem to promise the
advantages of continuity and economy
of effort as well as those to be derived
from the employment of trained skill in
statistics. -....4-

DIR. Willis L. Moore head of the
Weather Bureau says of the cold-wave
warnings of the bureau which some
times dispatches 100000 kilograms for
this purpose in a few hours:
What this means to the farmer and
shipper is well illustrated by the fact
that we gathered from those personally
interested statements relative to the
sweep of one cold wave, which showed
that over SO. 10000 worth of property
that would have been destroyed by the
low temperatures was saved. To be
sure, sometimes the surging of the
great air eddies which constitute our
rain-storms and cold waves-one the
low-p pressure eddy and the other the
eddy-defects the course
of the storm or minimizes the degree
Of cold, and the warnings may partially
or wholly fail of verlfication; but in
these important atmospheric disturb
ances the warnings are justified in such
a large proportion of cases that those
whose property is at stake do not long
er question the utility of the govern
ment service"
