JAPAN'S WY.

1t is not always easy or possible to tell what
is going on in Japan. That is because of the
undemonstratve, secretive, stocal nature of
the people. Some think Of the Japanese as q
mercurlal and demonStratve race. There could
be no greater error Through centuries Of the
warriors ethics they schooled themselves TO
conceal their feelings, and never to display a
trace Of passion of any kind That national
characteristic is still dominant. There is no ex
element no matter how great the provocatfon
or the crisis A stately old Satsuma nobleman
would commit hari-kari as calmly as he womb
drink cup OF saki, and with no more change
or countenance than as though his face were
made or bronze That spirit pervades and rules
the whole Japanese nation to-day Whatever
happens, there will be no panic no stampeding
no Mysteries. Because of that very GOODNESS and
stoicism the empire will be the more terrible to
encounter.
We cannot tell. then, what is going on behind
the imperturbable mask which the japanese
government wears. The House of Representa-
ives wore mask when it passed a vote Of
eensure upon the Ministry, and thus invited
its own dissolution. The nation will wear the
same inscrutable mask when it elects another
House Everything will be done decently and
in order. Japan is a land of newspapers. but
among them all there is only one lingo organ.
and IL would be accounted n calm conservative
in any other country. Nevertheless. we must
not suppose that japanese passions are weak
encd by thus being held in restraint. On the
contrary, they are made the more intense, and
they will be all the more potent when they are
released. Seldom in history has a nation suf-
fered greater provOcatiOn than Japan has for
the last ten years Seldom has one been more
fagrantly menaced than she now is at the
hands Of Russia. Seldom has one deserved
better regard from the world or been treated
with less gratitude and appreciation
Let US recall a few facts. Nine years ago
Japan went 10 war with China, for the sake
Of civilization and of progress. With few
rare exceptions the expressed sympathies OF
the world were against her and in favor of
China. At the end of that war Japan sought
TO secure for the whole civilized world on equal
terms the very selfsame concessions from China
that the world has since been seeking But in
stead Of supporting her. the whole world either
opposed her or regarded her with unconcern
Japan in 1895 stipulated that China should omen
Moukden and Taku-Shan 10 the commerce of
all nations China agreed TO do So But Russia
France and Germany forbade ii and insisted
that those ports should remain closed: while
Great Britain and America remained passive
and silent Had America then spoken out reso-
futely in support of Japan that stipulation
would have stood, and these ports would have
been opened. But America did not do So but
let the golden opportunity pass; and now. eight

sovereignty and became an independent repuo-
lie, and immediately made overtures TO the
United States for the construction OF canal
upon our own terms What was the President
TO do under the law? Manifestly 1t was MS
duty TO close the bargain with Panama Ihe
object of the law was to secure canal, prefer
ably at Panama Under the law and In the
eyes of the United States Senate the Pan
anna route was so much preferable to any
other that 1t would pay to wait six months
for the sake of getting ii. rather than get
any other route right away Is the Presi-
dent to be blamed because he respected
that declaration OF preference, and. instead OF
trying hurriedly to cOncoct n treaty with Mic
aragua within an hour after the rejection at
Bogota, exercised the discretion the law had
granted him, waited a few days, and then
secured the canal concession on better terms
than had ever been expected?
The fact is that instead of violating the law
the President has scrupulously obeyed IT In
every detail in letter and in spirit He has
done precisely what the law directed him to
do and he has done II more promptly and on
more advantageous terms than the makers of
the law ever ventured 10 hope for. For that
he deserves not blame but praise.

THE PRESIDENT AND THE LAW.

Here is the law" cries Mr. Dinsmore. Did
1.-The President obey il? Everybody knows that
''he made no pretence Of Obeying the law. Has
amy excuse been offered why he did not obey
lit? He has not even vouchsafed TO Congress,
whose law he has violated, the slightest ex-
"cuse. Is he above the law? Indeed Mr.. Chair
'man, If this is true, we have come upon evil
times" Yes IF this is true" 1t may occur TO
some that il would have been we'll for Mr..
Dinsmore 10 make sure of its truth before bla-
ZOning such aneyil accusation forth to the whole
world. Some utterances Of the senior Senator
from Alabama have recently been cited in for
eign land giving it encouragement to thwart
the policy and desire Of the United States.
Surely the Representative from Arkansas would
regret to find his indscreet ratings quoted
abroad to the discredit and dishonor of the ma
ton and its chosen chief of state.
Now. let US see about this question Of the
President and the law. Here is the law 1t
directs the President 10 select a route for an
isthmian canal from the Caribbean Sea to the
Pacific Ocean. Certainly be has not violated
that provision 1t directs HIM to give prefer
ence TO the Panama route. Has he broken that
part Of the law? Assuredly not But II he can
not within a reasonable time and upon reason
able terms make arrangements for q Panama
canal he is TO turn 10 the Nicaragua route. That
is the part Of the law some OF his most We
hement critics are charging him with having
violated. Let us see about il. AS soon as DOS
sible after the enactment of that law the Presi-
dent made treaty with Colombia then the
sovereign Of Panama, for the construction Of a
Panama canal That was in exact accordance
with the law. That treaty was, by its terms. to
be ratified or rejected by the Colombian Gov
eminent on or before September % last The
President cannot be blamed for granting too
much time 90 Colombia for consideration. for
the treaty, with that time provision, was rati-
1ed and approved satisfactory by the United
States Senate. Thus down 10 that date the
President was entirely estopped from negotiat-
ing for any other route; for il would have been
improper and indecent for him TO begin over
lures to Nicaragua while negotiations with
Colombia were pending. In waiting patiently
until the Colombian treaty was finally disposed
Of he pursued the only possible course. Down
10 September %. then, he scrupulously obeyed
the law.
What has happened since that date? Acting
with the discretion granted TO him by Con
gress and desiring, If possible, 10 secure a
canal on the route for which the law expressed
so decided a preference. the President waited
until the adjournment OF the Colombian Con
eress made II practically certain that no terms
were TO be made with that government. No
body can fairly dispute that such delibera ton
was proper aud indeed essential, 10 the fulfil
ment Of the law. Then what? 4 few days
after the adjournment Of the Colombian Con-
gregs. and before negotiations for another route
could fairly have been opened, an important
change occurred. Panama discarded Colombian

principal States OF the Union In which inteii-
gent statutes for the protection OF game nave

the widest nonsense to suppose that he is not
terrified and agonized when the hounds are
baying on his track. If there is no brutal fury
for killing for the mere enjoyment or k1liing
which there surely is among those excitaDle
persons who are eager for the sight of big
pack of dogs tearing to pieces miserable ami
NAL, then what is the spell In stag hunt above
the arduous chase of trolley car? Societies
for the prevention Of cruelty to dumb creatures

ought to exat the aniseseed and condemn the
long torments which deer and foxes must suf-
fer for hours when dogs are on their trail.
