japan In Form Osa.

II we may Judge by Japan's expert
very good idea of the best method of
treatment Of the fruits of victory. Under
the terms of the Treaty of Shimono-
seki, ratified at Chefoo on May s, 1895,
Japan became the proprietor of Formosa,
formerly den Of thieves and rendez-
vous Of pirates. The island has an esti-
mated area of 1850 square miles and a
population of about 5000, 600, equivalent
to the area and population Of Massachu-
sets and Connecticut combined.
According to the statements Of cor
respondent Of the London Times, Japan
leaves our own work in Cuba, Porto
Rico and the Philippines somewhat in
the rear. There is a striking difference
between the policy adopted by Japan
in Formosa and that pursued by the
United States in the islands under our
control. While Japan has not neg
lected those educational and sanitary
institutions to which we have given, in
our experience, the first and greatest
attention, her efforts have been primarily
and most strongly directed toward the
sound economic establishment OF the
people of her colony. This feature, in
all of our work, has been generally neg
lected We sent our charitable con-
tributions to Porto Rico after her dis
astrous hurricane; Gen. WOOD left the
impoverished Cubans to work out as best
they could their own economic saliva
ton, while he spent As per cent. OF their
revenues for school houses and street
sweeping; and we have done very little
for the industries of the Philippines
beyond meagre reduction in our tariff
on their imports-
In Formosa Japan has established
peace among local belligerents; has
maintained order; has built 900 miles OF
highways and 125 miles of light rail-
way; has sunk a vast number Of artesian
wells; effected extensive sanitary re-
forms; established savings banks, postal
and telegraph service; built school
houses and hospitals; established pro-
ductive industries; introduced inn
proved systems Of cultivation and for
estry; and has effected notable de-
velopment in mining enterprises.
The Times correspondent closes his
review of Formosa's development under
Japanese control as follows:
Surely the foregoing details should sufacs 10
convince even the most sceptical that Japan IA
not only an able colonizer but possesses quite Ell
ceptional aptitude for colonization; and Other
colonizing Powers may well 20 to Formoss In oSde,
10 learn from the magnificent example which
Japan has set TO the world in colonizing that saw.
age island
If the correspondent tells the truth, his
conclusion is fully warranted. Japans
eight years in Formosa stand per-
haps without rival in the history OF
| colonial DEVELOPMENT.

Senator Crane.
convention

WINTHROP MURRAY CRANE, the new
United States Senator from Massachu-
sets, is not an orator or a statesman with
a record. He is a business man, manu-
facturer holding large Government con-
tracts, a financier of wide interests. In
his home town Of Dalton he is beloved
by every inhabitant old enough to know
him. Throughout Berkshire county he is
held in affection, and in the State he
won the respect of the people generally
during his service as Governor. He comes
from the Western end of the State, which
always looked upon his predecessor as q
resident within its bounds, and thus his
appointment is justified upon geographic
cal grounds.
The present leader of the majority in
the Senate himself a New Highlander, is
not an orator. Perhaps it may be said that
oratory such as Senator HoAR was capa.

The first barge load OF ZOO from the liner
was landed in the morning. The belated
500 had been put aboard barge, which
was ready to leave the White Star dock
at $40 p. M. The immigration inspectors
In charge OF the barge said that il would
be unable to reach the island before s.sO
and refused TO proceed unless authorized
to do 30 by the immigration authorities
pier called UP Mr.. Douglas, who has charge
OF landing immigrants at the island, and
asked II the time could not be extended
half an hour. Mr.. Douglas said that il
could not be, and all the five hundred filed
back aboard the Oceanic to stay until this
morning.
Mr.. Douglas said that extensions OF time
had been granted to various lines. includ-
ing the White Star, and that he thought
there was tendency to abuse the privilege.
As the days are growing shorter and the
white light OF the sun is necessary in making
physical examinations OF immigrants Mr.
Douglas said he thought 1t proper to re-
fuse to receive large number OF immigrants
at the island after the regulation time;
besides. il was thought hazardous to release
immigrants from the island after dark.

In its issue of Oct Q FL Mundo, one of the
leading papers in Havana, publishes an
account OF an interview with PoRFIRIo
D1Az in Mexico city, ON Sept. 20, the inter-
viewer being well known correspondent
of Ell Mundo, Senior NJ. MARQUEE STERLING.
President DIAz is reported as expressing
the following opinion regarding the island:
Cuba may come TO throw OF the yoke OF the
Plat, law; future Governments In the United States,
who will interpret better than the present Govern
ment true democracy and liberty. will break this
obligation which leaves the independence OF the
people OF Cuba incomplete. But 1t Is necessary TO
have much tact and good sense. 10 guard against
foreigners getting control OF the lands so that they
may not at some early day, through the ballot boxes,
realize their real object, annexation.
81 suppose also that the Government OF Cuba
will look after immigration. opening the doors to
people OF our own blood-to the Spanish. to the
Latin the only race which brings TO our countries
citizens who asslmilate their Interests with the
national Interests and which constitutes the Span

withdraw their State ticket, thus extin-
gushing the Democratic hope OF carrying
Wisconsin. The same thing must be
said of Delaware now that the Addicks
and Regular" Republicans have agreed
on State ticket. We must therefore
add sixteen electoral votes TO the 2O4
already assigned TO Mr.. ROOSEVELT. He
appears to be equally sure OF the three
electoral votes of Utah, inasmuch AZ 1t
seems to be settled that the Republican
electors in that State will be backed by
the almost irresistible influence of the
Mormon Church. That he will also have
the seven electoral votes of Connecticut
is seldom in confidential conversation
disputed by any Democrat conversant
with the political conditions In that State,
where the Republicans have more
efficient machine than they ever for
merly possessed, while their opponents
are VIGOROUSLY unorganiZed. The re-
cent town elections are regarded as
proving that no material change has
taken place in Connecticut since 1902,
when the Republican candidate for Gov
ernor had plurality of some 10000.
We are therefore justified in awarding
the seven electoral votes Of Connecticut
to Mr.. ROOSEVELT giving him $50. -
The nine still needed for Republican
success can be secured in New Jersey l2),
or in Indiana (15, or in West Virginia and
either Colorado or Idaho. He is believed
by Republicans to have much better
chance than has his Democratic oppo-
nent of carrying New Jersey, Indiana
and West Virginia, and an equal chance
of carrying Colorado and Idaho. We
| may probably take for granted that the
electoral votes of Maryland (s), those of
\ Montana (3) and those Of Nevada (3
will go to Judge PARKER. These, added
to the ISL votes of the solid South, would,
of course, give him 1856, and if, for the
sake of argument, we should also con-
\ cede to him New York (39), he would
have total of 2O4 electoral votes.
We conclude, then, that if the voters
should go to the ballot box tomorrow
THEODORE ROOSEVELT would at the
very least obtain majority of ~ in the
electoral colleges. Judge PARKER, how
ever, could console himself with the
reflection that he had done better by
% electoral votes than Mr.. BRYAN did
in 1898, and better by 40 than Mr.. BRYAN
did four years ago. Should he, on the
other hand, lose New York, he would
| almost certainly fall short of the figure
attained by Mr.. BRYAN in 1896, in which
event it will prove extremely difficult
I for the conservative element of the
Democracy to control its next national
I convention.

ITO THE EDITOR OF THE Sus-.Sir: In 1895 the
Attorney General OF the state rendered decision
that the method OF splitting n ballot BY marking
the voting space at the head OF q ticket and also
marking separately the names OF candidates In
other tickets was legal, and the ballot so marked
must be counted, as the directions for counting
contained In election law. section ITO. subdivision
2, expressly contemplated this method the
writer has neither seen nor heard OF any subse'
qucnt decision, either administrative, judicial or
legislative. reversing this ruling.
III there can be no doubt cast upon the legality
OF this method and while ignoran, OF the nricacles
OF the law. the usage OF past elections and close
reading OF the above section seem TO preclude II,
would 1t not be better for all enemies OF graft
TO emphasize this method OF splitting u Ticket
rather than the one you give preference to. mark.
Ing separately the names Of the candidates on
different tickets1 HONEST ABE,
NEW YORK, Oct 10"
The method of marking a split ticket
advocated by Honest ABE is the one
Offering the least difficulty to the voter,
and of its legality there is no question.
Ballots marked with cross X) mark
in one Of the party circles and cross (A)
marks in the voting spaces in front OF
the names of candidates on other tickets
are entitled TO be counted, and it is the
habit of many ticket splitters, especially
in Presidential years, to adopt this method
in order to avoid the necessity of making
large number of cross (X) marks upon
their ballots Thus, on Nov. s, the man
who votes a split ticket by putting
cross (X) mark in the circle under the
Republican emblem and cross (X) marks
in front of the names of ID. CADY HER
RICK, FRANCIS BURTON HARRISON and
JOHN CUNNEEN will have to make but
four cross (X) marks to vote full ticket,
as against fifty-three that must be made
by the man who votes split ticket by
making cross (X) mark in front of the
name of each candidate for whom he
wishes to vote.
There is no objection to any mans
splitting his ticket in the simpler and
easier fashion if he feels that he can
save time or reduce the chance Of error
by employing it. The Sun has de-
scribed and illustrated this method
many times-at least as often as it has
the other. Our reason for preferring
| the other is that it is the method
| prescribed by the election law in its in
| structions to voters. Both methods Of
splitting the ballot have been employed
in the past. Both will be followed this
! year. The voter should decide for him
self which he prefers and split his ticket
in accordance with his decision
The main thing to be considered is not
the technical merits of the two meth
dds of splitting the ballot. The main
thing is for the voter to deposit in the
ballot box on Nov. s a ballot marked for
the Republican candidates for electors
of President and Vice-President and for
the Citizens anti-Grocery candidates
for Governor, Northumberland and
| Attorney-General.
